THE DRUMMER’S ERROR. ;
it Turned a Cry Into a Laugh anu
Spoiled the Scene.
It might Lave bappened over on‘
Staten Isiand. ‘nviow, it occurred
in Greater New York and at a stock'
company heuse. The company put
on gn uprearious farce one week, |
during the course of which the lead
ing lady made several burlesque
hfis. In order to accentuate the
comedy of these the stage manager
directcd the drummer ir the or
chestra to give the bass drum a re
sounding whack every time the lcad
ing lady fell to the stage. He fol-|
lowed instructions faithfuily at ev-|
ery fall except one at the opening.
performance.” The stage manayer
was furious, After the show he
had a heart to heart talk with the
drummer in his dressing room.
“That was the place where the
‘boom” would have got the higgest
laugh, and you let it pass!” he roar-,
ed.
The drummer scratched his Tea
tonic head. “Vell, il looged serious
dere,” he answered.
“No, that’s burlesque,” said the
manager. “Now, every lime you
see her fall don’t think a.n_vthing,i
But just wallop that drum. See?”
“Chess,” said the drummer, and !
at every performance thereafter the!
boom of the drum never failed. |
The following week the bill was
“Sapho.” The leading lady took'
her part seriously and studied great
effects in business for the “bigl
scene” at the close of the third act
when Jean leaves her. It would be{
ber great personal triumph, she
thought, and truly her work was a
triumph, and the audience thought

an eye in the iouse was dry when
the leading lady threw herself
against the door through whichj
Jean had just passed with his an
g;isfarewell. Her form shook with
sobs, and the very atmosyhere Wus
tense with emotion. Slowly she
staggered ‘from the door, then, with
a great cry of agony, threw up her
hands and as the curtain descended
fell prone to the floor while a burly
boom came from the bass drum.
Tears fled from the eyes of the
audience, the roar of applause was
Stopped as it began, and only laugh

Contagious. X |
An artist whose summers, spent
in out of the way places, have
brought him a rich reward of ex
perience as well as of success tells
many stories of the uninvited guests
who have gathered abont his easel
on different occasions.
In one little Connecticut village
a freckled faced boy appeared as if
by magic at his side one morning
and gazed at the artist and at the
picture then in progress with an
intentness which was almost discon
certing.
“Did you ever try to paint?” the
artist asked him at last, and he was
startled at the sudden illumination
of the sober little face. .
C“L kin - paint some,” announced
the boy, with certainty. “My fa
ther could paint, and I ketehed it
from him. But he’s dead now, and
I thought perhaps I could ketch
some from you, mister.”—Youth’s
Compeanjon.
Tending the Shrubbery.
People often imagine that a
shrubbery or bed of shruhbs, once
planted, will go on of itself for
good. In fact, a shrubbery which
may apFear neat, tidy and cared for
to the last degree may also be very
much neglected. In the course of a
little time the stronger and niore
pushing plants will have completely
overgrown and ousted the more del
icate ones. The lady of: the garden
wonders why the pretty guelder
rose and brilliant diervilla have dis~'
appeared, the answer béing simfilyl
that some great hearty laurel has
deprived them of light and air and“
{f 4 till the struggle has been too
hard for them. The careful garden
er is therefore continually watchful
for the well being of these more
tender and beautiful plants.—Lon

Cheerful Hint. |
Among the presents lately show
ered upon a Maryland bride was
one that was the gift of an elderly
lady of the neighborhood with
whom both bride and groom were
prime favorites. |
Some years ago the dear old soul
accumulated a supply of cardboard
mottoes, which she worked and had
framed and on which she never fail
ed to draw with the greatest free
dom as occasion arose. 1
In cheerful reds and blues, sus
pended by a cord of the same col
ors over the table on which the
other presents were grouped, hung
the motto:

SHOWERS OF FISH. |
S |
‘Fhe Way the Nont Unusual Phonomomni
i 3 Brouciat About, i
The phenomeoeron of a shower of
fish is of more common occurrence|
than is generally sutnosed. '
It 12 undoubtediy due to somo|
small fry of fishes having beca lift-|
ed from the water and carried over|
dry land by what iz popularly
known as a waterspout. When two
currents of air traveling in oppo
site directions meet, the resulting
stmospheric disturbance, if «on .i
small scale, is called a whirlwind|
and if on a large scale a tomado,l
the destructive powers of which are!
FHRWEE " e
Hon.' R‘lpbAbemmw ‘defines
'a whirlwind as “a mass of air whose
height is emormously greater than
its width, rotating rapidly round al
more or less vertical axis.” The|
mass might be, for instance, 200
feet high and only ten feet in diam-!
eter. This whirlwind colninn has a!
funnol-like center and may tnvol!
as fast as thirty miles an hour in l!
particular eourse.
The pheromenon is usually visi-l
ble in the tky as a descending col
umn. This is owing to the compres-’
gion of a clond within the. circuit
of the whirlwind air. Should the
disturbance reach the surface of the
ground dust, mud and all kinds of
debris sre sucked up into the cnl-|
wmm and earried along. - If the path|
of the axis of the disturbance crosses|
the sea or a river, the surface wa-|
ter is whirled vp into the funnell
and mingles with the whirling col-|
amn of descending vapor. This i3]
the effect known as a waterspout. |
When the rotary motion ceases
the accumulated moisture descends
in a cloudburst or as very heavy|
rain. The small surface living fry
of fish in the sea, usually herring or|
even comparatively heavy fish from
shallow inland waters, are frequent-|
Iy thus carried ‘over dry land and
astonish the pedestrian by descend-|
ing on his umbrella. ’
Many cases are reported from|
abroad, and they are common in|
India. In England the :{)ecies of |
fish that thus fall are usually indig-|
enous to the neighborhood, whichi
shows that their involuntary jour-|
ney through the air is never very
far. Frogs, insects and other liv-!
ing creatures have also been known|
to be thus transported through the
sir.—London Globe.

PHONE 292, Next Door to the Post Office. MARIETTA, GA,
a supper fmrty some savrical verses
he had heard iouching Mme. de
Pompadour and M. de Sartines, the
chief of police. Warned that De
Sartines had filled in his name on &
lettre de cachet, M. de Mirabelle
called at the police office and asked
to what prison he shiould betake
himgelf. “To Vincennes,’” said Dei
Sartines.
““To Vinceraes,” repeated M. de
Mirabelle to his coachman, and he
arrived at the dungeon before the
order for his detention. |
“Onee a year De Nartines made a
formal visit to Vincennes, and once
a year punctually he demanded of
M. de glirabelh: the name of the
author of the verses. ‘lf I knew, |
should not tell you,” was the invari
able reply, ‘but as a matier of fact
[ never heard it in my life” M, de
Mirabello died in Vincennes a very
old man.”-—“Dungeons of Paris.” 1
Bpurgeon’s Blunt Critic. |
When Mr. Spurgeon first bcgan‘
his ministry wn auonymous ecritic
used to write to him cumtantl;."
about his mistakes in grammar and
pronunciation. Mr. Spurgeon at
first resented these eriticisms, but
he soon learned to profit by them.
“After awhile,” he said in telling
the story, “I looked for Lis weekly
memoranda with much interest. It
1 repeated a sentence which I had
used two o= three Sundays before,
he :would write, ‘See the same ex
pression in such and such a ser
mon.” ”
Mr. Spurgeon, like everybody
else, had his pet quotation, and he
used this line, “Nothing in my hand
to bring,” rather frequently. So
his commentator wrote him, “We
are sufficiently informed of the vae
uity of your hand.”
Siamese Superstitions.
The first thing an orthodox Sia
mese does in the morming is to
scare away the family ghosts who
may have gathered about the old
place in the night. Letting off
crackers is an effectual means. At
the new year all the ghosts come
trooping to their former dwellings.
Yor three days they have their fun.
At the cnd of the time the priests
and their flocks fire guns and usei
other devices for getting rid of
them. A Siamese 18 coffined face
downward, 20 that the ghost may
not sneask back through the dead
man’s mouth. The coffin is taken
out through a hole in the wall and
carried several times round the.
house in order that the ghost may
be put off the scent and not return
to vex hia family. 1
The End of the Earth.
The ancient Persians believed in
the ' renovation of the earth. A
comet in the course of its revolu
tions will strike the earth and set it
on fire. Rivers of molten metals
will float down the mountains and
deluge the valleys. All men must
pass through these streams. The
good will gnd them like baths of
milk. The evil will find them like
torrents of lava, but they will be
purified thereby and finally will join
the good upom the new earth nndl
sing praises to the eternal source of
all. This belief was held alwi
smong the American Indians end
the Hindoos, The Egyptians believ
ed the earth would be destroyed n;
firo and water. The Chaldeans said
that when all the planets met in
the sign of Capricorn the earth
would fi overwhelmed with ¢ del
uge of water, and whenever they'
afl met in Cancor it would ho con
sumed by fire. |
Ne Distinguishing Marke. |
“Wers there any marks about
him by which he could be describ
ed 7 asked the detective. |
“Yes,” eagerly repliod the father
of the runaway boy, “his trousers
were nearly worn through st the
knees, and ha had in one of his’
pockets, as I heard my wife say &
day or two ago, a knife with a
broken blade, a pistol cartridge that
had been fired o}7, a match, some of
the wheels of an old watch, a leath
er shoestring, a broken key, a bunch
of twine, two or three white peb
bles, a piece of léad, some buttons
from the last bicycle show, a stump
of a lead pencil and a bit of red
chalk.” : |
And the detective wrote in his
memorandum book, “No distin
guishing marks.”
How the Lantern Was Invented,
King Alfred the (reat is credited
with originating the lantern. He
was 80 bothered by the candle
flames blowzng in the wind that he
protected them by putting the can
dles in cow horns, which he ordered
to be scraped thin. Our grandfa
thers made lanterns by punchin
holes and slits in properly shapes
gicces of tin, which were then gol
ered together. The light which
came through the little cuts was al
ways very dim and flickering. It
was this kind of lantern which the
old town watchmen used to carry
when they went about calling the
hours and the weather in rhyme:
‘Tis one o' the clock; midnight fa past.
Sleep om, gvod friends, the time thou hast,
Por rise yo must at early dawn.
