Tiny German States.

Some of the German states are of
li1liputian size, as is evidenced by the
fact that it is quite possible to visit
eleven of them, including two king
doms, two duchies and three princi
palities, in an easy walk Of four and
half hours.
A good walker, starting from Stein
bach, in Bavaria, will arrive in half
an hour at Lichtentanne, which is sit
uated in Saxe-Meiningen. Thence the
road proceeds in one and half hours
to Rauschengesees (Reuss, elder
branch), after which in a few minutes
Gleima, in Schwarzburg-Rud is
reached.
Half an hours walk brings the Pc
destrian to Altengesees (Reuss, young
er branch) An hour farther on lies
Drognitz, on Prussian soil, and the
last stage is another hours stroll.

Our First Theater.


In 1852 the first theater in the Unit
ed States was opened in the colony Of
Virginia at old Williamsburg. The
originator was an English actor, VIII
liam Hallam, ST., who brought his own
company from overseas and presented
1.-The Merchant Of Venice" as the in
itial performance. The idea spread
rapidly, and soon New York, Philadel-
phia and the other leading commune
ties Of colonial America each had its
theater. While the Virginia playhouse
was the first in the United States, ac-
tors had played in the colonies before
this date. The first is said to have
been the English strolling player An
thony Aston, who was known as Mat
Medley. The actor and his art Of that
day were generally despised by the
Puritanical colonists. The Massachu-
sets legislature passed a law shortly
after amateurs had given '"The Or
phans' at the Coffee House in Boston
in 1749 which forbade such perform
ances, prescribing a penalty for &C.
tors and spectators alike of $25 each.

Honesty Extraordinary.

A traveller writing in an Italian mag
azine says that the Swiss canton of
Ticino is Inhabited by the most honest
folk it is possible to imagine. In most
of the Ticinese villages, the writer
says, the oldest inhabitants do not re-
member any case Of thieving, however
petty, within lifetime. Lost objects
when found must never be taken
away. They must be left where they
were dropped or placed in conspicu-
Gus position. so that the rightful own
er can find his property more easily.
The case is cited of an American wom-
an tourist who lost her purse on an
excursion in the Val Capriasca. The
purse contained gold coin and a jew
eled watch. Upon returning from her
trip she found the purse with it's con-
tents intact on little heap Of leaves.
SO placed that it could not fail to at
tract her attention.

Correct THOUGHT First.

Social reform is not to be secured by
noise and shouting by complaints and
denunciation, by the formation of par
ties or the making of revolutions, but
by the awakening of thought and the
progress of ideas. Until there be. cor
rect thought, there cannot be right
action; and when there is correct
thought, right action will follow. Pow
er is in the hands Of the masses OF
men. What Expresses the masses is
their own ignorance, their own short
sighted selfishness.-Eenry George.
