SAVED THE SCENE.
Fechter's Presence of Mind Whom the
Stage Ocean Broke Loose.

Fechter's Presence Of Mind When the
Stage Ocean Broke Loose.
"Fechter once staged a melodrana."
said a theatrical man, lin which the
grand feature was a ship in a storm
at sea. The sea was vast expanse
of green baize with a runway in the
midst, invisible to the audience.
through which the gallant vessel was
to careen. The storm was produced
by lot Of boys under the baize, who
agitated it by doppins their arms and
bodies vigorously. In the midst Of
this furious upheaving while the dust
arose from the briny deep and the
cracking thunders reverberated from
great sheets Of tin. ratified with equal
fury back Of the scenes. the ship ca me
on, bobbipg and rolling, with Fechter
as captain standing in the bow issuing
stentorian orders to his men through
a speaking trumpet.
"On the crucial first night. when the
turning of hair might damn or save
the piece, just as the vessel reached the
center of the stage, one of the storm
makers split the baize over him and
suddenly a perspiring. bewildered boy
stood up in the midst of the green sea
waves OF course all the chances were
for the everlasting ruination of the
play, but before the audience appreci
ated the situation Fechter took it in
hand.

swooping down. he grabbed the as.

THE MAElSTROM.
Tides and Winds Cause the WhirI and
the Hole In tho Sea.

Tides and Winds Cause the Whrl and
the Hole In the Sea.
What of the maelstrom that is be-
tween two of the Loffoden islands, off
the coast of Norway: Where the water
sinks there must be a subterranean
passage or an outlet farther north"
writes correspondent.
In answer we reply that there is nc
opening in the oceans floor. The
whirling motion is caused by tides and
winds. The water rushes in channels
between the islands, whose contgura-
ton aids in twisting. The current runs
during six hours from north to south
and then six hours from south TO
north. This reversal and friction
against rocks set up the whirling mo-
ton. Suction through a hole in the
bottom of the sea- does not exist.
Winds in from the ocean when in the
right direction increase the rotation of
the water which. in the center of the
whirl. Is about twenty fathoms in
depth. but just west of the straits the
soundings show depths of from 100 TO
200 fathoms.
Many modern ships. in the absence
Of winds. have traversed the troubled
wastes. but they keep away when the
wind is blowing against the change
able currents, especially at high tide.
when the danger is very great. Many
fables rega riding the maelstrom have
been handed down from ancient times.
from medieval also. and moderns still
invent them. OF course ships hive been
wrecked there as we'll as elsewhere

Heart toHeart
Talks.
THE CHILDREN'S SECRET.
by EDWN A. NYE.

Lets play ike keeping mousse.
There are four tots together in the
back yard. The house they have
built is fearfully and wonderfully
made of an old carpet, a quilt and pa
pers, the clothesline and a branch of
tree forming the framework.
These precious kids drape their
mothers aprons about their little
waists and play like they are evening
gowns with long trails. Hats are
fashioned of big rhubarb leaves and
rooster feathers.
An old rag doll in paper box makes
up the nursery. A few crackers and
some water suffice for the banquet ia
BILE in the dining room. The parlor is
partly in the shade and partly in the
sun.
And they play like"
Such formal calls and cordial invita-
tons to come again! Such converse
tons about the baby's teeth! Such
gossip Of the neighbors!
They are happy!
And wonder if we may not learn
from them.
During the long afternoon their joy
is unalloyed with any touch of envy
or regret. They know that in the yard
of yon big mansion is real for sure"
playhouse and dolls that cry when
you squeeze them and dainty tea sets.
But they are too busy in their enjoy
ment to envy the girl who has them.
Play like!
wonder if we cannot find the same
pleasures of Imagination? l wonder if
we cannot make the most of what we
have and play like we have the best?
We should be optimists.
Optimism sees the best in every
thing. It's philosophy is the philosophy
of contentment.
But
We go about the problem more
clumsily than the children. We try
to rake together material things of
supposed great value-fine houses and
tittings-which leaves nothing to the
fancy. There is no play like" We
grow sated-and unhappy.
The childrens secret?
Envy not those who live in big
houses or have much money. Enjoy
what you have. Hold on to your pre-
cious powers of imagery. Keep your
ideals-and
Play like!

Refused the kinq.

Henry VIII. had six wives. The
most extraordinary ambition was dis
played by the fair sex in general to
obtain the dangerous distinction of be-
ing his queen. One instance alone is
quoted of his meeting with a refusal.
and that was on the part of witty
Duchess Of Milan, who replied to his
offer that she unfortunately had out
one head and could not afford to lose it.
