THE CHINESE THEATRE
No Scenery and No Drop Curtain.
 Hard Working Actors

Hongkong Correspondent of Westminster
 Gazette.
 The theatre in China is the great na- tional amusement, and the Chinese will attend a play that lasts for several days without getting the least tired of it.
 Figure to yourself a huge dingy barn crammed full of Chinese, mostly of the coolie class, the men all on one side and the women on the other Attendants go round selling saucers of fruit melon seeds, swoetmeats and cups of green un- stewed tea. Up above is a huge gallery, also crammed with tier upon tier of men, women and children. smoking, eating and gesticulating, but as a rule perfectly well behaved. In the last re- spect they could give many of our own music hall audiences points, And they never applaud.
 Some have taken their shoes off and sit with their bare feet up on the ledge in front of them. where also is placed the programme Gin Chinese and writ ten from the bottom of the page up and other "chow, purchased from the half-naked attendants.
 As you push your way through the crowd to your reserved pew, because that is exactly what 1t is like, you hear the beating of tom-toms and the strident squeak of fiddles completely out of tune, mingled with sound as though all the fire irons in Christen- dom were being thrown downstairs.

The actors make their entrance from doors at the back of the stage, one Of which is to the left and the other to the right' The orchestra sits at the back be- tween the two doors.

Locked Antlers in Glacier

From the Portland Oregonian.
 Mute evidence of a mortal combat that may have occurred centuries ago was re- vealed to J. K. Magnussen. a timber cruis- CT on the slopes of Mount Baker.
 Lying in the lower edge of Roosevelt glacier were the crumbling bones of a buck deer of more than ordinary size. Digging down into the ice the cruiser un- covered the remains of a second animal, the body in an excellent state of preserva- tion. The antlers of the animals were tightly interlocked. showing that the deer had died in battle.
 From the position of the skeleton and the body in the glacier Magnussen is of the opinion that they had been carried a long distance down the mountain side. As the glacier flows only four or five inches aday. the battle of the bucks may have occurred centuries ago.

How He Reasoned It Out

 A half witted fellow who heard the off, CT volunteered to discover the where abouts of the horse. and sure enough he returned in half an hour leading the anil nal by the bridle.

Why We Rap on Wood

The Superstition Of rapping on wood when one mas been betrayed into boast ing of special bit of luck. like immuni- tv from illness. etc. Is of German origin. The raps were supposed to drive away evil spirits vexed by vaunted happiness or any piece of good fortune.
 The three raps originally signifed the three persons of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and the necessity for rappipg on wood was because that was the material of the cross.
