BuHoonery In "Hamlet."

The buffoonery once tolerated In pro-
vincial theaters Is illustrated In an an
ecdote set forth In the memoirs Of Bar
~ Sullivan. Wright, who was the first
gravedigger, prepared himself to take
the house by storm by having incased
his person within dozen or more
waistcoats of all sorts Of shapes and
patterns. When about to commence
the operation Of digging the grave for
the fair Ophelia Wright began to I'M
wind by taking Off waistcoat after
waistcoat, which caused uproarious
laughter among the audience. But as
fast as he relieved himself Of one
waistcoat Paul Bedford, the second
gravedigger, incased himself In the
CASTOR vests, which increased the sal
vos Of laughter, for as Wright was
getting thinner Paul grew fatter and
fatter Wright, seeing himself out
done, kept on the remainder Of the
waistcoats and went on with his part
quite crestfallen.

A Startling Hat.

A lady's hat which would no doubt
create as great a sensation today as II
did at the time of its first appearance
In 1852 was that worn by Blanche de
Bourbon, queen of CASTLE, wife Of Pc
ter the Cruel. 1t cost f35 and was
composed of de chypre and relieved
with great pearls, garnets and enamel
work. Children, carved In the whitest
Of ivory, were depicted picking acorns
Of pearls from the oak and scattering
them to the swine below. Birds were
singing In the trees, and at the foot
were bees stealing honey from the
flowers springing up from the verdure.

A small boy, who had been allowed
to run much in the streets, had 90 I'm
proved his opportunities that before he
was FIVE years OLD It was commonly
said by the neighbors that he swore
like little pirate. Parental discipline
did not avail to break him Of the habit
One day when he was to visit his
grandmother In the next street he was
implored by his mother to behave him
self properly, and especially not to In.
dulge in bad language. He promised
to try to remember. On his return at
night the anxious mother asked II he
had been good boy. he replied en-
phatically that he had, clinching the
statement by adding /:

The Fiqhtinq Parson.

When the great-grandfather of the
Duke of Norfolk was engaged in any
OF his electioneering contests he was
always attended by his chaplain, an
athletic man, one who had made such
good use Of his hands Oh several oc-
casions that he acquired the name OF
the fighting parson." Mr.. DauDcey
an eminent counsel, having once to
examine him as witness during a
trial, asked whether he was not the
gentleman called 'the fighting par.
son." II believe l am, SIR" the divine
replied, "but if you require any more
positive proof and will do me the favor
to step out of court l will give 1t to you
under my own hand" No further evil
dence was taken.

LANGUAGES,

The French, Spanish, Italian and
Portuguese languages (known as the
romance" languages) are offshoots Of
the old Latin and are to a considerable
extent founded upon 1t, while the Ger
man and English tongues grew up
quite apart from the Latin. That Is
why the scandinavian, Dutch, German
and English languages (Which, like the
peoples themselves, are closely related)
are so scant In Latin words and deri-
vations.-New York American.

A Question of Color.

Benjamin Constant when painting
the portrait of Queen Victoria made
the grand ribbon of the Garter, which
was part of his illustrious sitter's cos
tune, a certain tone Of blue. The
queen criticised this part Of the pic
ture, but Constant stuck to his color.
One day he received from Windsor a
little parcel containing the Order Of the
Garter. The queen, fully convinced
that she was right, had sent him the
ribbon to prove his color sense was
wrong. She did not confer the Garter
upon him, however.
