When I Went to the Theater de la
Monnaie In Brussels in 1881, says
Madame Calve in the Strand magazine.
1 made my debute as Marguerite. My
bino. AT that time I was very slight.
My neck and arms We're thin. and SO.
of course. were my legs. 1 did not
think / could possibly appear in
hreeches without something to make
me look a little .plumper, SO 1 went
TO the costumer OF the theater and told
him I wanted some pads. He made
them according to his own ideas Of
what beautiful legs should be. and
sent me so late that I had no time to
try them on. I don't know what I
must have looked k when / stepped
o. the stage thin and girlish from the
waist UP, and provided with most en-
ormous calves.
rushed around to my dressing gna1 room.
My ~hsavens!" he exclaimed, "where in
the world did you get those legs? They
certainly are not your own" l admit
ted that they We're not. mo said /
with pads. Don't you know" he said.
to me. THAT a young girl with straight.
slender legs is far better suited to tha
part of a page than when she dis
figures herself with such things as
these! Take off the pads and go out
his advice. When 1 came on the stage
again / was thin, but at least sym.
metrical. The effect on the audience
was startling. The conductor of the
orchestra stared at me as if his eyes
would pop out of his head. After q
moment or two the cause of the
astonishing alteration in my looks
seemed to be understood, and there
vas a litter of laughter through he
audience. Since that time 1 have never
worn pads.

Why Boys Leave School.

From the American Machinist.
"A least haif OF the boys the country
over leave school as soon as the law ali.
lows. which is usually at IA years OF age.
But only a small percentage leave through
any real pressure from their parents. That
is. the great majority of parents worship
education per sc and are willing to make
whatever sacrifice is necessary to con-
niue their children in school.
On the other hand, the majority of en-
ployers who have work to offer which is
fit for these boys do not want them until
they are at least 16 years old. and many
not until they are 10. The amount Of
earn is certainly not in any degree an
equivalent for the education which they
should obtain In the two or four-yeaf
part Of the children is that they hate
school and want to work. What does this
NEAR? What part of school life do they
hate and wha part of shop life do they
crave?
ORC. IF correspondents who has had
abundant opportunity to investigate these
matters holds that the largest cause Of
think and to take responsibility. That is.
1t is a form of mental laziness. AS he
views the situation a boy feels that he
mctie. English and everything else he is
taught in school by entering a shop.
There. at his age. he Is only allowed to do
work which Is almost automatic In its ma
ture, which requires almost no thought
and little attention for It's successful COM
pletion. He is only given work which does
require thought and attention as he shows
willingness to do it.: which means that
many never rise at all and the rest com.
paratively slowly.
To a boy 10 hours a day In the shop
spells more liberty than five hours in a
school room. because in the shop ne only
does what he can easily do without mem
tai exertion and without worry. In thN
school room he is expected. at least. to be
constantly on the alert and strained UP to
concert pitch.

LAZY MANS LAND.

From the Rehoboth Sunday

From the Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
1T o are awfully tired of working
for your living and nave about decided
that life is altogether too strenuous
for comfort. then go to the islands
around Madagascar. For there you
would have to work about % days q
year and could support yourself n
family in all possible comfort.
People do not need to work so hard
If they are only willing to try some
thing new. says an English historian.
There are other places where the ne
"essities of life, can be had for practi-
t~ly u|Ctll.aS and many of the luXur-
les. too. for u little effort. Now, there
are the stands around Madagascar.
They number some $4,000 and only 900
of them are inhabited. Nature IS
Wonderfully lavish. y man can own a
whole island himself or live on one that
Is already peopled. Land is abundant
and. like the air and water it has no
price.
And the best things to eat are yours
all kinds OF the finest fruits-ban-
anas, melons. oranges. figs. pineapples
without such delicacieS as figs and cit
ron. There is plenty of tobacco to be
had and all the coffee that you could
possibly drink. Then there is domestic
poultry in great numbers, fat-tailed
sheep and goats that you could cook UP
into all sorts of lucious dishes.
You wouldn't have to be afraid OF
your life all the time for fear you were
going to be run over the next moment,
either, for there isn't a single automo-
bile IN any of the Stands.

MOVING 1856 MILES A SECOND
That Is the Speed Of the create.t
NebuIa, II Figures Lately Com
piled Are Correct.

A great deal of controversy h,.
beer waged about the structure and
composition of the great spiral me-
bula in Andromeda, the most beautL
lul ana striking apparition which c.
lestlal photography has revealed.
IL was suggested some two yearx
ago that the nebula was not gaseous.
but was a universe of stars external
to our own galaxy. This inference.
made by V. NJ. Slipher, was based on
the appearance of certain lines in its
light spectrum which were i~nconsfst-
ent with the idea that it was a case
GUS nebula.
The same observer by examining
the Shift of the lines in it's spectrum
from o good plates obtained
some months ago-has calculated the
speed at which the nebula is moving.
Ate obtains the startling result that
the nebula is approaching us at the
a of 1856 miles a second. :
1t is a little difficult to credit that |
such a vast object as this. which at ;
the least estimate must be hundreds /,
OF millions of miles in diameter. could !
be moving at SO great a speed.
Moreover, no movement sidewayp
OF the nebula has ever been detected.
and therefore. since it does not seem
probable that it can be coming toward
our telescopes directly head on" It.
must either be at a very great dis
lance or else there is something
wrong in the observations.
