"On Trial"

One of the most healthy symptoms
of the American drama at the present
moment Ia the eagerness displayed by
playwrights TO undertake experiments
in defiance of established technical
traditions. The obvious motive of these
experiments La the desire to attain
a sudden and decisive success by cap
turing the audiences by surprise. Some
OF the devices that have been invent
ed to achieve this purpose have shown
little merit, but their novelty fur
nished a spur to other writer's. in
their search for inventions to broaden
the boundaries Of staee-craft.
The first to succeed was Elmer l..
Reizsnstein, with the melodrama "On
Trial" The popular reception of this
play has made IL plain that any play
wright may henceforth safely venture
to reveal q story backward, whenever.
by 90 doing. he can increase the sus-
pense and the intensity OF his nara
tive.

EXPLAINED.

Needless to say, this story was told
by Kentuckian. A visitor to heaven
was being shown around by Saint Pc
ter. After he had made circuit and
admired the streets Of gold, and the
singing birds, and the beautiful fow-
ers, and was about to so out the gate
again, he noticed group Of men over
in a corner tied together, looking very
disconsolate. Why. who are those
men over there?" he asked ST. Peter
in surprise. "Oh," said Saint Peter,
"those2 Those are Kentuckians."
But what are they chained up for?"
asked the visitor. I'VE have to keep
them tied up" said Saint Peter, frown-
ing. II we didn't, they'd all go right
back"

Gypsy Micration.

The theory that the gypsies began
their migration from India about 900
A. D. Is now generally accepted. They
were traced, through their language,
to Kabul and Persia, where they be-
came split. One group went south
through Asia Minor, and it was this
branch that finally, through Turkey,
wandered all over Europe. They first
appeared in Germany in 1417, Switz-
erland in 1418, Denmark in 1920, Italy
in 1922, France in 1447 and Poland
and Russia in 1900 Their last mig:a-
tions were to the new world and to
Australia. Their banishment from
Germany began in 1925 under Ffeder-
ick William I, when, by royal procla-
nation, they were allowed certain
time in which to leave the country,
after which all men, women and chill
dren over eighteen years were sent to
the gallows. France never allowed
the gypsies to get foothold. Italy
and Spain were tolerant with the few
they received, and Russia, England,
Hungary, Roumania and Poland were
generous toward the wanderers.

GIaustone's Lasting Power.


The secret Of the sustained power
and energy of Gladstone, the "old man
eloquent" lay in the fact that his do
mestic relations were always delight
full, and that Mrs. Gladstone was en-
tirely devoted to his well-being. Al
ways accompanying him even to the
hustings, ready to shield him from
every e-hausting condition, she was
likewise the companion Of his intel
lectual life And no man Of true
greatness but gives grateful acknowl-
edgment to such womanly influence
whenever he has been its happy recipi-
ent. Among such may be numbered
the blind British postmaster general
who brought in postal orders, Mr..
Fawcett. BY an accident Mr. Fawcett
became blind at the age Of twenty-five,
yet in the next twenty years he accom-
plished remarkable feats through the
help Of his wife. Miss Garrett, before
their marriage a woman Of rare ca
pacity, became after that even his Sec
retary, fellow student, adviser and
other self.

Shipping Pigs in Baskets.

The lot Of domestic animals in the
East is not enviable, particularly when
enduring transport from one place to
another. Fowls are always sent to
market with their legs tied. so that it
is impossible for them to move. Live
pigs are transported in the Straits
Settlements by steamer or barge,
shipped singly in wicker work baskets
just large enough to take single pig.
IN this cramped and uncomfortable po-
sition, for the animals legs are tied,
making it nothing more than living
log. it is often shipped long distances.
Water is thrown over the animals and
occasionally tiey are allowed to drink,
but nothing is given them to eat
