Old Time Theater Rowdiss.

tRowdyism in London theaters was a common occurrence in the old days, Aa Is shown by the following from the London Post of Oct. 27, 1798:
 @Two men in the pit at Drury Lane eheater last night were so turbulent and riotous during the last act of Henry " that the performance was interrupted upward of quarter of an x,our. The audience at last asserted their power and turned them disgrace suily out of the theater. This should :sIways be done to crush the race of disgusting puppies that are a con s,tant nuisance at the playhouse every

Real Treasure Islands.

There are quite a number of islands scattered about the globe whereon buried treasure exists. And people are always trying to find it. Quite a score of attempts have been made, for in- stance, to unearth the treasure alleged to be buried on Cocos island. Yet so far the adventurers have reaped no re- ward for their toll. Fully f5O,OOO has been wasted, again, in futile attempts to recover the pirates hoard' report ed to be hidden near the lip of the crater of an active-very active-vol- cano on Pagan island, in the Ladrone group.
 Still, as set off against many fail ures, there have been some few sue cesses. There is no doubt, for in- stance, that Liverpool sailor named John Adams unearthed treasure to the value of between G150,OO0 and 100000 on Auckland island some years back; nor that William Watson, a shepherd, recovered in 1868 nearly a ton of gold that had been hidden on one of the Queen Charlotte islands. Likewise , two runaway seamen named Handley and Cross successfully located and dug up a valuable hoard on Oak island, off the coast of Nova Scotia, and this after many others had failed.-London Standard.
