The Thespian's Fiasco.

Among Italians, correspondent in
Rome tells me, the origin Of the term
"fiasco' for failure is believed to have
originated in the remark of an old ItaI-
ian actor. He had in the course of a
play to deliver a somewhat lengthy
mOnologue, in which he invariably
scored great success. 1t was his
habit to always hold some object or
other in his hand, changing the article
every time he appeared and never us
ing the same thing twice. One even
ing, seeing wine battle Called in
Italian fiascoJ, he seized it and pro-
ceeded on the stage to pronounce his
soliloquy. Whether it was that on that
occasion the audience was extraordi-
narily difficult to please or whether it
was that the actor was not up to his
usual form, the fact remains that for
once he did not obtain his customary
applause, from which time the phrase
fare fiasco" has become general in
the Italian language.-London Chron-
icle.

SEVERAL CHANGES IN
NORMAL FACULTY
Geo. J. Altman, Secretary Mehl, Miss
Eula Miller and Miss Norton Will
Leave the Institution.

At least four Of the faculty of the
Ninot Normal school will give up their
positions at the close of the school
year in June.
Prof. George J. Altman, who has
been physical instructor since the in
stitution was opened four years ago,
will take an advanced course at 1ndi-
annapolis and teach in the College of
Gymnastics next year. He will also
begin a course in medicine which he
expects to complete ultimately.
Miss Eula j. Miller, principal Of the
Model school and critic in the First
grade work, has announced that she
will not return next year. This popu-
lar instructor has decided to take
charge of much smaller, tho no less
an important school, the fortunate pu-
pill being resident of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Mehl, the efficient secretary Of
the Normal school, is to engage in
some other line of work, probably
banking. according to reports. The
engagement of Mr.. Mehl to President
Cranes popular secretary has been
