TOSCANlNPS DEBUT.
He Was Literally Forced to Conduct
Opera the First Time.

opera the First Ime.
As an opera conductor Toscanini
seems both to have achieved greatness
and to have had greatness thrust upon
him. In the Century Max Smith, giving
a character sketch Of the eminent mu-
sician, thus describes his first triumph.
Toscanini was in Rio de Janeiro, doing
double duty in the opera house as first
cellist and assistant chorus master.
The season had gone badly from the
beginning One conductor had been re-
jected, and matters reached Il crisis
when an indignant audience, assembled
to hear "Aida," refused to accept the
services of an incompetent substitute,
compelling him by main force to leave
the orchestra, amid jeers, Kisses and
catcalls before the unfortunate man
had lifted his baton.
The impresario was in a Quandary,
when a delegation of influential sub
scribers insisted that he should not
abandon the performance. They were
ready, they said, to accept as leader
any musician in the orchestra rather
than the man dismissed.
Some one suggested Toscanini, who
beat q retreat to the stage, where he
was found trying to hide in the wings
His efforts to escape were futile. No
excuse was accepted. Forced into the
clawhammer coat worn by the costumer
of the theater, he was dragged into the
pit and lifted bodily to the conductors
stand, while the crowd roared it's ap-
prevail.
The youthful maestro seized the
baton, and suddenly the noise was
quelled. He held at once the undivided
attention not only Of the orchestra. but
Of the mob. Every one could see that
he was conducting from memory. Even
then, making his first appearance as a
leader, he was Independent of the score,
and so an evening that begun with
tumultuous protests ended with bois-
ferrous demonstrations of enthusiasm.
insuring the cellist's employment as
conductor to the end of the season.
Brute force had launched him on his
brilliant career. The news of his SEN
sational debut was flashed across the
ocean, and thereafter the doors of ev-
cry opera house in Italy were open to

STAGE VILLAINS.
Not Those Who Play the SeoundreIIy
Parts, but the Real Ones.

Not Those Who Play the ScoundreIIy
Parts, but the Real Ones.
The true villain Of the stage is not
always the one who strives to kidnap
the heroine and bestow violent death
upon the hero, for jealousy and the
acts prompted by it lead not only the
ladies but also the men to resort to un-
principled methods to disgrace rival
One or two Of the tricks are quite
common, notably that Of doing some
thing to make another player miss his
or her cue. In one case an actress car
ried fan, which she used deliberately
to blow the sound Of her low spoken
syllables away from the other actress.
AS result the latter had great diff
Guilty in catching her cues, so much so
that the audience began to speak Of
her as poor actress, although in other
pieces she had been praised most high
ly by the critics.
An equally common trick is for the
actor to step toward the back of the
stage. This causes his victims face to
be turned away from the audience, the
consequence being that not only his
voice is lost. but his features are in
visible and his efforts thus spoiled.
Still another device which has been
utilized by stage ''criminals'' is that of
anticipating the laugh of a comedian
with broad smile or grin. This little
trick takes the edge off the fun result
ing from the other actors lines
One of the simplest ways Of running
the effect of an act is by dropping
something at the crucial moment. The
instant this is done the minds Of the
audience will go like a flash to this un-
looked for interruption and are drawn
away from the words of the speaker

LUXURIOUS KITCHENS.

While the HOUSEWIFE today prides

were much more luxuriously fitted out

Now, in the days. when the Roman
empire was at it's height. if you went
into the culinary department of an ele-

saucepans lined with silver and pals

CURIOUS MANX LAWS.

Food and Drink Alone Are Taxed and
Debtors Are Imprisoned.
In some respects the Isle of Man is
one of the most backward portions of
the British empire All the revenue is
raised by taxes on food and drink.
There are no death duties, no proper
ty tax, no land tax. The working
classes are unprotected as we'll as over
taxed No factory laws exist. and no
attempt has ever been made to limit
the hours of shop assistants, although
Mainland is essentially nation Of
shopkeepers. Then. although usury is
forbidden by law. Imprisonment for
debt is still legal and is commonly re-
sorted to.
Yet Manx laws although backward
we'll advanced. Every woman, widow
or spinster, III the Isle of Man. be she
owner, occupier or lodger. enjoys the
parliamentary franchise. Every wild
ow enjoys half her husbands person
al estate and has a life interest in his
real estate, and she cannot be deprived
of this by will.
The sale Of cigarettes and intoxi-
cants to children was forbidden in
Man for years before such prohi-
bition was enforced in England. Eng
lishmen have legislated mildly against
money lenders. The highest interest
that can be charged in the island is &
per cent, and that has been the law
for over 200 years.-Chicago News.

A roiectile's Gain of Speed.

Experiments with improved instru-
ments for measuring the velocity of
projectiles have shown that the speed
goes on increasing after te missile has
left the mouth Of the cannon. Leaving
the muzzle with velocity of 1.474 feet
a second, projectile has been observ-
ed to increase its speed to 1859 feet a
second within the first six feet. It is
only after having travelled twenty-five
yards that the projectile's velocity be-
comes reduced to the speed it had on
leaving the muzzle. This is ascribed to
the impulse of the expanding gas be-
ing felt for some distance beyond the
lannon's mouth.-New York Tribune.
