Actors Die on the STAGE.

The sudden death of Van Riene, the

appeared all over the world. recalls
many similar instances of famous ac-
tors who expired while in the act OF
demonstrating their greatest histronic
powers.
Sir Henry Irving died on the stage of
an English theater at the most intense
moment of his Interpretation of the
character of Thomas a Beckett. He had
partly spoken the prelates dying lines,
sInto Thy hands, oh. Lord" when the
swift and really fatal end came.
Another actor, whom Sir Henry al
ways used to declare was far greater
than he himself could ever hope to be,
died in a Similar way He was strick~

another famous dying line. That actor

Crime Among Animals.

1t has recently been asserted by fe-
lowers of Lombroso, the great special
list of criminals and their peculiar
brain processes. that every variety OF
human wrong doing finds its counter
part in the crime committed by AM
mails and birds and insects.
Among bees, for instance. are fount
frequent instances of deliberate theft
These thieves of the hive in order to
save themselves the trouble of work
ing attack the workers in masses, XII
them, rob the hives. and then carr;
off the booty. After. they have done
that few times they seem to have
developed erimina! taste and form
into large and formidable bandit coll
onies that terrorize ali peaceful, hard
working and law-ahiding members OF
the bee family curiously enough,
too. it has been proved that the belli-
cose members may be produced arti
fieially by giving them honey and
brandy To drink. After few doses
of the mixture they become irritable,
disinclined To work, and if the drink
is given to them for any length of time
they refuse absolutely to work and
when they become hungry, turn TO
plumber and attack the we'll supplied
hives.
Owners of doves tell stories of how
in every dove cote there are birds that
are too lazy 10 gather materials fer
their own nests, but will try by every
means to steal that which has been

Then, too. murder is not at all un-
common among birds, not the murder
which might have to do with the
struggle for existence but that Whic ]
