Diedrich Knickerbocker.

1t may be that a Dutchman named
Knickerbocker did live in the early
history of New York. but if he did
there are no records extant to prove it,
The truth is. the name was created by
Washington Irving, who applied it to
all residents of New York in his time
who happened to be descended from
the early Dutch settlers Irving used
this quaint Dutch character in his
"Knickerbocker History of New York
to burleSque the early days of the city.
The volume purported to have been
the work of Diedrich Knickerbocker
and gave an amusing and satirical ac-
count of the early Dutch settlers. Rec
ords of the period tell US that the book
bitterly offended their descendants.

A stenoaranhsr,s Stumble.

A Judge in one of our middle west
states advertised for a stenographer
with experience in legal work. A num-
Der of applicants called at his office
for the purpose of making application
for the position. Each applicant was
given a trial to test her speed. accu-
racy, etc. Among the applicants was
young lady whose anxiety to make
a good showing evidently unnerved
her. The judge dictated to her few
sentences in legal language, one of
which was. "That would give him
time to complete the devastation of the
assets" The sentence as Transcribed
by the young lady on the typewriter
read as follows: 'That would give him
time to complete the devils station
with a hatchet." Although much
amused at her ludicrous blunder, the
judge permitted her to go away with
out telling her of her mistake.-Case

Madrid's Fearful Climate,

Madrid is afflicted with the most
changeable climate of any European
capital. The temperature varies from
as much as 107 degrees in the summer
to as little as 16 degrees in the win
ter, and at all seasons of the year it
INDUCES in violent fluctuations. 1t is
by no means uncommon in December
to wake up with the thermometer reg
istering about 20 degrees and to find
it mount to more than 60 degrees by
the afternoon. Some years ago an
oscillation of 81 degrees was registered
in one day. No wonder. therefore,
that lung troubles are far more preva-
lent in Madrid than in st. Petersburg.

Johnson that music affected him. to

INSTANT DEATH.
1t Is Not So Quick but That the Mind
Has Time to Act.

1t is Not So Quick but That the Mind
Has Time to Act.
1t is questionable if such a phenom-
enon as instant death is known to the
scientist and Investigator. Physicians
and surgeons tell us that death by gun
shot wound is the easiest mode of
terminating life; yet. rapid as such
mode of taking off must necessarily be.
the body has leisure to feel and time
to reflect and on rare occasions even to
act

adherents of the Spanish monarch to

the ball passed through the bones of
his face and brought him to the ground.
In the instant which preceded stupe-
faction, however, he was able to frame
the notion that the ceiling of room
had fallen in and crushed him.
Another question in this connection
Is that of probable pain. Although nu-
merous instances could be cited in
support of the view that the mind acts
in cases of so called instant death. it
by no means follows that the infliction
of fatal blow is attended by the least
semblance of pain or a single pang of
fear or regret. Unless death results

to for five days of the week, and the

idea. and many people will wonder why
evening classes could not be started

taught few things in regard to eth
les of the home-child study, home
building, etc. 1t really does seem too
bad to have all the education on one

WHITE DEER SKINS.
They Passed About as 6anknotes at
One Time In China.


One Time In China.
In China, the first country in the
world credited with using banknotes,
certain skins were so valuable that
they were accepted as cash and passed
from hand to hand in the same way
rs banknotes are at the present day.
The negotiability of these skins arose
thus:
The Emperor Ou IT, being in want
of money, gave his treasurer to under
stand that such a state of affairs
must not continue At that time it
was customary for princes and court!
iers on entering the royal presence to
cover their faces with a piece of skin.
Taking advantage of this custom, the
treasurer ordered decree to be issued
forbidding the use of any other skins
for this purpose except those of cer-
tain white deer in the royal parks.
Immediately there was a demand for
pieces of these skins, which, being
monopoly, were sold at a high price,
and the royal Golfers refilled The
steady value of the skins thus secured
made them readily pass and acceptable
as an equivalent of coin of the realm.

WASP WAIST CONTESTS.
Curious Course OF Training In Old
Time Girls Schools.

Curious Course OF Training In Old
Time Girls Schools.
A letter recently unearthed from q
trunk shows that in the sixties of the
last century principals of girls schools
thought they were fitting the girls for
society by urging them to retain small
waists. Accordingly they offered
prizes to the girls having the smallest
waists. The girls were put through a
course of training for reducing their
waist measure. The conditions of the
contest were that the corset should
not be removed on retiring at night
and that each pupil must be inspected
every morning to make sure she had
not loosened her corset One of the
persons who engaged in the contest
afterward wrote of it:
Some of us tried hard to be per-
mitted to retire from the contest, but
we were rebuked for stultifying our
selves and accused of making fools of
our principals. On the following
morning the undergoverness, with her
maid, came as usual to superintend
the toilets, and after satisfying her
self that each lace was drawn in to
the utmost she fastened it in a knot
at the top and, passing the ends
through piece of card, placed her
own seal on them, so that any attempt
to loosen the corset during the night
might be infallibly detected in the
morning. Free Press.

It is rare indeed that this city has been visited by so notable an organization of players and never indeed have To- cal theatre-goers been presented with the opportunity of seeing the master pieces of two of the greatest authors and dramatists of all time played here by the foremost English speaking act ors.
 sThe Learned Ladies', written with the keen wit and sharp satire of the wonderful Moliere, is just as interest ing and vital today as though 1t had and fifty years ago. It satirixes those women who sacrifice the charms of feminity for the assumed airs of a pedantio education. Donald Robert son, director of the Drama Players, will assume the role played by Mol iere himself when the play was pro- duced in 1872.
 s"Thef Thunderbolt'' is one of the strongest of the plays written by Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, and has been placed on a par with that same au- thor's "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray." It is an episode of family in the provinces, as the author himself puts it. It is full of those strong situa- tions and stirring dialogue for which Pinero is so justly famous.
 In the roster. of the Drama Play. CTS are such well known actors as Effie shannon. Herbert Kelcey, He'd wig Reicher, Edward Emery, Sheldon Lewis, Helen Converse, Charlotte Granville, Fred Eric, Lionel Belmore, Barbara Hall, Eugenia woodward, Caroline Oden, James Cooley, Frank Hardin, A. Hylton Allen and Renee Kelly. MT. Robertson has staged both productions in a most sumptuous and complete manner and they will be seen here as played at the Lyric Theatre, New York, during that engagement.
