Why Teeth Chatter.

Although the muscles which affect
h action of the jaws are especially
under the control of the brain. the
chattering of the teeth is really a
spasm caused by chill or fear, and all
spasms act Independent of the will.
The muscles which operate Che jaw
act in a series of involuntary little
~contractions which pull the jaw up
and permit it to fall of its own weight.
This action is quick, and the chatter
ing occurs from frequent repetition.
The cold has a similar effect upon the
jaw muscles to that which some poi
sons have in causing spasmodic action
in other parts of the body.

EARLY Days Of Lead Pencils.

1t is not easy nowadays to find a
lead pencil that is not too old at forty,
as it were. In the early days of lead
pencils the produce of the Seathwaite
strong guards of soldiers were en-
gagged for its protection, and a special
act of parliament was passed penal
izing Illicit traffic in plumbago, which
then realized from three to five shil-

were stripped and carefully searched
when leaving off work, says the Lon
don Chronicle. they managed to Snug

NEGROES AT THE THEATERs.

Many writers, orators and poets of
our race have praised highly the light
heartedness and mirth-loving qualities
of Negroes, and have argued that it
is owing to these qualities that the
race has been able to endure so pa
tiently and well, the depressing and
CALLING prejudice to which it has been
subjected. l have for some time
doubted the wisdom of this assertion
and my opinion was strengthened on
last Friday evening at the Shubert
theater.
The OCCASION was the performance
of a play called On Trial" which was
a powerful melodrama, dealing with
the actual tragedies of domestic life
and affording useful lessons and food
for thought to both young and old. The
section of the theater that is reserved
for Negroes was filled to overlooking.
1t was what is called a representative
audience of Negroes, being composed
of doctors, lawyers, professors, teach
ers and seemingly a large number of
the "li~ght-hearted' and 'mirth-loving'
type, the kind that frequents club
rooms, pool halls, low theaters and
louge around barber shops and street
corners. During the progress of the
play, some lines were spoken which
indicated the betrayal of a young, in
nocent, trust girl by the usual sharp,
well-dresses. oily-tongues libertine. 1t
was a highly dramatic moment, tense
with emotion, when to the antonish-
ment and disgust of that part of the
audience which knew better the light.
hearted and 'mirthloving" class
broke out in a coarse. loud laugh, as
if it was quite famalier with the cir
cumstance and laughed in glee and ap'
prevail of the cunning of the gay liber-
tine, and in derision at the lack OF
worldly wisdom of the betrayed girl
The careful, painstaking and artistic
work of the actors was marred by the
thoughtlessness and lack of decorum
of this class of Negro. Another quail
ity must be added to this class, viz
the light-minded. 1t is this lack OF
good and of proper public de
pertinent that helps to retard the so
cial recognition of the race. / am sure
that the thoughtful Negro would hal
with approval any means or methods
that could improve this condition.
