Udlenraa Eiparlmm of a Stock Theatri

Charles Arnold used to belong to n
stock com|mny ut> in Montrcul some
years ajyo, and (luring the summer
months tho members of tliiH company
would make common wealth trips
through tho far Northwest on their
own hook. It wimagoodconipuny, too.

Dowell, J. II. Gilmour, Fannie Reeves,
Annie Russell, Felix Morris and Ar
nold. They used to go to Winnipeg
and play several weeks lo fine busi
ness, nnd otto summer the manager
was approached by the mayor of a
ilos
small town about sixty miles from
Winnipeg. He said I hey had never
leen a show there and would turn out
well. There was no hall or theatre,
hut they could play in a bonded ware
house iu the town. Finally, after (lie
mayor of tho place laid virtually oiler
ed tho company a guarantee (or two
nights, they decided to accent.
When tho place was rcuelicd it was
found to he hut a mere village of less
than 1,000 inhabitants. The bonded
warehouse had been lilted up as a
temporary theatre, and a stage had
been erected at one end. A dollar a
head was charged for the reserved
scuts, and they were soon occupied.
Many were looking in ill the windows,
and Arnold went outside before the
show mid collected a half dollar eaeli
from these. It was willingly paid.
Every oneeamu on horseback, and the
ni'uiric round about looked like a
horse sale. Rut there was good big
money in tho house the first night,
and "Rosedulo" by the t-omnuny ap
peared to give wonderful satisfaction.
On the second night the house was
larger, if anything, and after the lirst
act tho mayor asked the company to
stay another night. They were obliged
to leave for Montreal the next day and
could not. The mayor urged them to
remuin, and dually Arnold said that
they would give a performance of
•Tinufore" after they had finished
“Tho Shaugliruuu," if tho audience
would stay. This urrtioimcoment ho
made before tho curtail,\attho mayor’s
request, explaining that they could
not stay another night. Them were
cries of "Goon,” “Flay all night,” etc.
It was arranged that* tho gentlemen
should leave the place after the first
performance, giving tho Indies enough
to pity their second admission. After
this had been collected the gentlemen
would he readmitted, paying for t horn
selves as they came in. At 10:15 p. m.
“Tho Bhaughraun" was linished, and
THE VERY BEGINNING.
at 11 ii. in. the curtain went up
“Piimtoro," with a inolodeou as an
on
an or
chestra. Tho house was hut $2 less
than the lirst one, two men having
been called away. At 1 :H(I a. m, the
final curtain fell and the company
packed up and left for Montreal lit

Arnold, hut it was prolltuhle and there
wus lots of fun in it. - Chicago Herald
Tin* Oooifl uml (tit* rnnuor.
A farmer iu Cheshire had a tloclc of
geese, ono of which showed u great
partiality toward him. Whenever ho
went lo tho mill, to tho blacksmith's
simp or through the hustling streets,
tho bird stalked after him, so that
when ho wished to go out aloiio he
was obliged to fasten (lie bird up.
When tho funner wus at tho plow tho
goose did not walk with the waddling
pace of his tribe, hut with u linn step,
with his head raised and his neck
creel, a short way before his muster in
tho lino of the furrow, frequently
ttirniiur round to look at him. When
allowed, he would mount on his lap
as he sat by the lire after dark and
ucsllddiis head on his bosom. When
the farmer went out .‘hooting the
goose was at his side, following him
wherever ho went, getting over the
fences, as the master said, better than
ho could. All this was without any
encouragement on the part of the far
mer, who rather opposed it. Won
derful us this attachment was it had it
very sad end: tho mint could not un
derstand it, lit* thought it foreboded
Boino evil to him, and in a moment of
alarm he killed this faithful compan
ion.—Now York Mail and Express.
Something About the Formation of ThU
World m It "Whirled In Bpaee."
In the burning mans that composed
our earth at first, there existed copper,
sulphur and all the other substances
that arc on and in our earth now, only
all wore in a gaseous state. Tho cold
had not yet hardened them intosolids.
They tell us that this collection of
burning material belonged originally
to the sun, and was thrown oil' from it
in consequence of a natural law, and
sent “whirling in space." Do you un
derstand what that word “space”
means? This globe of ours is wrap
ped up iu a huge cloak, some forty
miles thick, called the atmosphere.
Beyond this, thick envelope stretches
far away that unknown region called
“spncc. Wlittt are its boundaries, no
one can tell us. Whether it holds
other worlds than ours wo cun only
guess. But one tiling about it is known
for certain, which is. that it is very
cold. Its temperature is about 20(1
degs. below zero; so wo have need of
our thick, warm atmosphere.
What effect did this intense cold
have upon the mass of fiery gas, sent
spinning out through its depths? Just
the same effect that tho cold mountain
peaks have upon tho vapor of water.
It cooled the gases upon the outside,
hardened them, and iu the course of
time formed a thin crust. This was
God’s lirst day of oreatio.il, and some
men think it was equal to thousands
and thousands of our years -muybo
millions because this forming of the
crust must have been slow work,
hirst, little patches of gas became
solid. Then these flouted together mill
perhaps succeeded in making one crust
joined nil over and it hot, rumpled
crust It was I Then the boiling, sooth
ing mass inside broke through, and
tin) work luid to ho done all over
again.
When the vapor of water wus con
densed, ruin began to fall,
Thou rathe another struggle. As
quickly its the rain fell on the hot
crust, it was changed into vapor again,
and sent up into the air to repent its
work. What a boiling, steaming, hot
ball this world must have been I
During all litis time there were ter
rific peals of thunder and Hushes of
lightning. Whenever any liquid is
changing into a vapor, electricity is
produced; and when so vast a quan
tity of water was changing iiitostoam,
the intensity and frequency of the
lightning must have been immeasura
bly beyond anything wo can imagine.
If only wo could ltuvo boon nt a safe
distance above this si earning world and
looked down c on it, what it sight wo
should have seen, mid whut deafening
penlsof thunder we should have heard I
Even though the ruin was almost
immediately changed into vapor, it
must have cooled tho earth’s crust a
little, coming directly from tho icy
realms of space. And ill lust came a
day when the cold conquered the heat,
and tho mist became cool enough for
tho water to stay down. It tilled up
all the cracks and crannies, and tin re
was so much of it that only a little Hit
of the earth's crust could poop above
its surface. Of our own continent,
only a narrow strip of land, extend
ing from what is now Nova Beotia to
where t he great lakes were to he, and
thence westward to tho region now
eallod Alaska, remaining above the
waters, lit the place now occupied
by Europe, there were many little
patches, but no laud so extensive its
the strip iu the western hemisphere,
Thick, dark vapors brooded over the
earth uml shut out tho light of the sun.
And these gloomy vapors, the little
pieces of dry, hot crust and the surg
ing, boiling waters, were the begin
nings out of which God was to make
our beautiful world, with its pure air,
its blue sky and snowy clouds, it - dense
woods uml fertile Ileitis, its hills and
valleys, its lakes and rivers.
There could have been ho life in
tlmeo days neither plant life nor ani
mal life. In the lirst place the crust
was too hot; neither animal nor plant
could live ou it, nor in the wale: that
touched it. In the second place, uni
nials and planks cannot live without
sunlight; ami no sunlight could
pierce those masses of heavy vapor,

Tho Profit* of Sodu Water.
“Is there much profit in the soda
water business? Well, I should say
there is," remarked a drui
there is," remarked a druggist. “The
beuuty of the business is that the profit
is unlimited. You can make 100 per
pent, or 1,000, just us eusily as not.
It depends on your degree of honesty,
and how you regard the tastes and
stomachs of your customers. If you
wish to retain theirtrude you will give
them u good article, profit 100 per
cent.; if you cater for transient cus
tom you make 1,000 per cent. That is
the difference.
“Olt, well, now I don't care to give
away muny of the secrets of the busi
ness, but I don’t object to giving the
uninitiated a gentle hint. 1 will say
that any reliable dealer can, for a
nickel a gluss, give a man real fruit
flavors, actual cream and high pressure
water, and still double bis money.
Buclt n decoction per glass would cost
two and onc-liulf cents, but I will
wager that the average sodu water
that is drunk here or elsewhere doesn’t
cost more than a cent, and sometimes
less Until that.
“To begin with, a saving is often
made in lowering the pressure, and
the result is the water doesn’t sparkle.
It is insipid, and you instinctively feel
when you drink it that it lacks some
thing. Then the alleged fruit flavors
nro made out of cheap ethers and other
volatile substances. True, they aro
not harmful and they can he guzzled
with impunity, but the delicate uroinu
is not Inert' and the cost is a trifle.
For u dollar a dealerean make a large
quantity of these cheap flavors, Choco
late is another urticlo that is easily
adulterated. As for the .Saratoga wa

I'mcmI to Hiding Tliurouglitireri*.
A wealthy rancher of Wyoming
territory recently related u story of u
rich young Englishman who, while
looking about the west fur good in
vestments, visited his ranch. IIo
stayed there a few days, and one after
noon as the cowboys were about to
round tip a. bunch of cow ponies the
young mail said that ho would enjoy
a good ride in the saddle. lie said ho
wus used to riding only thorough
breds, and lie didn’t think they bad a
horse good enough for him, Tito boys
convinced him that they had ono of
llto finest horses on tho plains, and if
he knew how to ride ho was welcome
to tho animal.
IIo was apparently insulted when
questioned about hisubility torideund
answered that ho could ride any kind
of a horse. A sleepy looking bronco
was brought out front the porruls and
saddled. Though lie appeared half
dead lie wus the worst buckcr in the
herd. “ ’Em lifeless,” said tho foreign
er, when tho pony was brought to
hint. The boy said the “nag" would
wake up after tho first mile, nnd the
visitor got into the saddle. IIo didn't
linger long. Tho lirst buck jump
placed him ou tho horse's neck, and
after a second lie was in theutmos-
pliero. lie turned u double somer
sault and landed on tin* sharp end of it
cactus plant. When he picked hint-
self up one of tho hoys asked wlmt he
thought of tho thoroughbed now.
Tho question made the Englishman
litrii pule. “ 'E’s a good ’oss,” he an
swered, “bul 'e lopes too bloomin'
’igh.” -1'Jticago Tribune.
Ant* uml Plant* That llurbm TIiki
In a paper read before llto British
Scientific association on the Hum-
boldtia luurifolia as an nut harboring
plant. Professor Bower observed that
the peculiar relations between plants
had been Nie subject of considerable
observation from time immemorial.
Tito literature on the subject could bo
traced its far back as 1750, and Captain
Cook, in describing his voyages, dis
tinctly alluded to the mutter, lit one
place lie said that lie bad seen on a
certain tree « number of black ants,
which perforated the twigs, and, after
eating out the pith, formed a lodging
in the cavity, and yet tho tree contin
ued in a nourishing condition. In
tropical climates there were many
plants pre-eminently associated with
ants The Italian botanist l’ieari con
tended that the relationship was ad
vantageous alike to the plants and to
the unts. The former a Horded shelter
lo the latter, and in some cases supplied
them with food.

From tho last report, tit tho director
of public instruction iu Bengal on the
\ eritaettlur of the Presidency during
the past year it appears that fiction
and poetry both flourish, and that
works in both are increasing largely;
but it is doubtful whether the sub
stance or form of Indian fiction lias
been improved by our occupation of
tho country. For instance, it great
change is said to have come over the
w riters in Bengal. The younger gen
eration of writers of works oT fiction
is permeated with the melancholy idea
that it happy state of things i.<>,Kissing
away, under the influence of western
civilization, never to return. The lead
ing work of the year is based on this
idea; it describes the fate of a family,
the young men of which begin to
doubt the wistlott of tho head and to
think for themselves' disputes and
divisions follow ; they lose Uteir good
mure, nnd thirdly, by an awful fate,
the family dies out altogether.- St.

I)pfpj»H0 of tin* ftniull Hoy.
It is unfortunately tho case that
every small hoy \i not in a position
lluaneiall v to become tho owner of a
pair of roller skates. Only the excep
tional youth enjoys such it possession.
Does one, then, see these lucky fledg
lings of manhood skating about over
the asphalt in proud consciousness of
their superior means of pleasure and
locomotion,' Quito otherwise. One
does observe roller skates in use on
every hand, Imt it is rarely that a sin
gle small hoy is using two of them at
once. Almost invariably he is seen
sliding along ou one skate wi lt a suc
cession of impulses convoyed by the
other unskilled foot.
Now, why should this he so? For
what reason is it that the small hoy so
I seldom has more than one skate ? Sim
ply borause he lias either lent the other
skate ton companion or borrowed from
him the one he has on. Tims you will
ordinarily see these small hoys skating
in pairs, each with one skate, and so
dividing the sport. Purely does it ap
pear that the owner of a pair of skates
uses them both himself instead of
sharing the pleasure with a friend.
Who says, then, that the small boy

Need of Men, Not of Specialists.
The evil to be greatly apprehended,
by reason of the tendencies of opinion
in the popular mind of lute, is, as it
seems to me, that we shall bring for
ward a generation of imperfectly edu
cated specialists in this country. No
result is, in my judgment, more to be
deprecated tlmu this. Indeed, it may
lie doubted whether in every sense
such a result could properly be regard
ed as progress at all. The fathers had
at least a wide outlook, as far ns their
Held of vision reached. They believed
in men, not in mere workers iu the
groat human workshop. They be
lieved in individual men, full grown
and matured in their whole manhood,
and not in mere scholars or practition
ers in some one section of life or know]
edge, whose mental culture should be
limited to that- one section.
Men are what we need in this
country; not lawyers, or physicians,
or ministers, but men—men who,
whatever may be their profession;
men who, whatever may no the ex
tent of their knowledge in their own
peeuliur science, know much that
is beyond their science, and see the
glory of all knowing and of all truth.
Education, according to the true view
of it, is like religion, it seeks the in
dividual that it may bestow upon him,
iu himself, the fullness of its blessing.
It strives to perfect the world iu its
own sphere hv making perfect the in
dividuals who form tho world. It de
sires, and tries, therefore, regarding
this ns its lirst and foremost work, to
give completeness to each one whom
it approaches, —President Dwight in
Forum.
A Perfect Wife In Tangier.
A Moorish gentleman, one Hasan,
related to me the historv of his three
marriages and descanted on the perfec
tion of his present wife. The first, lie
said, wus Ins cousin. Ho bought her
beautiful clothes and furniture, hut
after some time she gave him words.
Instantly lie sent her back, with all lie
had given her, and took another wife.
Site (hud given him three girls, dead,
and a bov, who still survives. The
second wife went all right, till oneday
she took it into her head to go to the
vapor bath without his permission.
“Who gave you leave to go to the va
por bath without me?" ho asked. “1
don’t require anybody’s leave," an
swered she. “And immediately,” he
added, with that energetic downward
pointing gesture, “I sent her home,
with all the things I had ever given
her.” As regards the present wife, lie
was quite delighted with tier. She
made all tho children’s clothes and her
own ; she could sew with the machine;
she cooked; she never required to buy
a bottle of orange or rose water, so ex
cellently did she prepare it herself—
above all, she never wanted to go out 1
“Never onco,” ho said, “has she asked

There were two pretty sisters who
had married, one an eminent lawyer,
the other a distinguished literary man.
Literary man dies, and leaves younger
sister a widow.
Some years roll away, and the widow
lays aside her weeds. Now, then, it
happens that a certain author and
critic has occasion on a broiling day
in summer to call on the eminent law
yer, husband of the elder sister. He
finds the lawyer pleading and swelter
ing in u crowded court, sees that the
lawyer issutfering dreadfully from tho
heat, jiities him, rejoices that lie him
self is not a lawyer, and goes for a
cool saunter under the sheltering trees
of a fashionable park and garden.
Among the ice euting, fanning
crowd there, he meets the younger of
the two sisters, and for a moment
thinks he is talking to the elder.
“Oh. Mr. . says the lady,
“how dreadfully hot it is here!"

About -1,000 anecdotes have been
published under the above title, in
which (logs have figured in preserving
huuiaii life. Wo had a dog once noted
for saving things, but there wasn’t a
life among them, lie kept the things
lie saved under 'tho summer kitchen,
and his hiding place wasn't discovered
for a long Lime; not, indeed, until it
became necessary to tear up the kitch
en floor to find a good place to deposit
some chloride of time during a chol
era season; then we found what had
been “saved by a dog."
There were a couple of kittens, a
cat, two or three rats and a chicken,
all very dead; n large assortment of
bones, tho remnants of an ottoman,
for the theft of which the best hired
girl wo ever had was discharged; a to
mato can, a couple of teaspoons, a
torn volume of lloylo’s games, an old
hoopskirl, a canary bird, a nutmeg
grater, a plaster of Paris pigeon and a
cook hook. It is rarely that there isso
■much saved by a dog, for they ure
generally improvident.—Texas Sift-
Oncer Murk Twain.
Whenever Mark Twain has a large
dinner part;, at his home in Hartford,
particularly whew lie lias tiny English
men for guests, ho is in the habit, it
is said, of rising at. what ho considers
the proper moment, without any
warning or explanation, and begin
ning a set speech of a humorous kind,
lie usually occupies from fifteen to
twenty minutes, and does his best to
entertain and tickle his auditors.
Sometimes his ell’orts, always premedi
tated and carefully prepared, are
highly successful; sometimes they are
not. Humor cannot be fabricated to
order. But they are invariably
laughed at, of course. It is an abso
lute requirement of common polite
ness that they should be, when a host
demands laughter as a return for hos
pitality. Twain likes to be regarded
as eccentric and original; and this is
unquestionably original.—New York
