THE OIL WELL DRAMA.
Reminiscence* of Tragedian Kraut Among
the Pennsylvania Miners.
"When an actor gets to be as old as
I am he forgets many things,” ob
served Thomas W, Keene, tho trage
dian, os ho sat in the corridor of the
Hotel Anderson, “but if I should livo
to be as old as the traditions of Mem-
non I could never come to Pittsburg
without recalling the days of 1867 ana
1868, when I played in tho stock oom-
pany with Jo Sefton in tho building
which stood where Harris' theatre now
stands. There were Jo Sefton and his
wife, Annie Sefton, and Mra. Lo For
rest and Oliver Doud Byrou and the
O’Neil girls in tho company, but Sefton
himself was the central figure.
“After tho regular season Sefton
would send me out in the oil regions
starring. I was playing Hamlet, Mac
beth and Richard III then for the
prinoely salary of $16 a week and fur
nishing my own wardrobe. I remem
ber well the first town we struok after
leaving Pittsburg. It was Pleasant-
ville. By the way, there was a Pitts
burg boy along with us named Harri
son, now in the gloss business, I un
derstand. But more of him anon.
“Well, we reached Pleasantrille.
Alighting from the train I walked
around and oould discern only two
buildings, one evidently a hotel, the
other a store.
“ 'Where is the theatre ?’ I asked of
a man who seemed to comprise the
population of PleasantviUe.
“ ‘It will bo hero all right by the
time you are roody to play this even
ing,’ replied the population, ooolly.
“ ‘Well, but where are tho people to
play tol’
" ‘Oh, they’ll bo here all right.’
“I took his word for it Indeed, that
soeuicd to bo the ouly thing in tho vi
cinity to take, and t hud to bo satisfied
with it. My confidence was not misplac
ed, either, for along in tho afternoon
came a number of diggers from Rouse-
villo, whore the wolfs had played out,
bringing the theatre with them, along
with their tools and other baggage. It
took thorn less than an hour to rap up
tho light board shell which constitut
ed their Temple of Thespis. So, there
was my theatre. But I was still at a
loss to know where my audionce was
coming from with only two houses in
viqw.
“Nigtot came on, however, and a
sight was presented to one poor and
hungry actor that he will never forget.
Out from behind the derricks, along
tho little hills twinkled an apparently
innumerable number of lanterns.
From places where one would never
dream of a human habitation thronged
the hardy miners, and long before I
was ready to step upon tho stage there
were 000 or 700 peoplo in the theatre.
“Well, we gave them ‘Richard,’ and
a more enthusiastic audience you
never saw. I had sent to a tinshop in
Titusville for aomo sheets of tin from
which we cut little circular pieces and
fashioned our armors, and I tell you
Richmond and the crookback showed
up as glittering warriors. That night
was all righL But the next we es
sayed ‘Hamlet’ and that was a mistake.
“The miners had pitched our thea
tre over a little brook. Heavy rains
during the forenoon had swollen the
stream, and in tho scene where Laertes
jumps into tho gruvo of Ophelia we
had a catastrophe. Young Harrison,
of Pittsburg, whom I mentioned, was
Laertes. The trapdoor in the floor
was open for the grave. Laertes took
his desperate jump. There was a
splash, a cry and a scream from tho
audience. Laertes had immersed him
self in tho swollen stream, and it took
tho efforts of half tho audience to res
cue him from his watery grave before
he could go on with the performance.
"There were a number of little mis
haps like this, but, notwithstanding
thorn, we played to good business in
tho oil settlement for forty-three weeks
and when we came back to Pittsburg
Jo Sefton mode mo a present of $900 in
addition to my salary, which was more
money than I had ever seen together
before.”—Pittsburg Dispatch.
■alt on the Nat*.
Nuts are indigestible things at best;
but if wo eat them, a little salt taken
dry on the tongue after will prevent
any ill effects. Nothing wo eat needs
more thorough mastication than nuts
before being fit for the human stomach.
If swallowed in too coarse a condition
they are apt to make a short stop in
some of the narrower passages of the
digestive organs with fatal results.—
Waverley Magazine.

It may be of interest to know that
the English law formerly prescribed
boiling where tho culprit had com
mitted a crime extremely revolting in
its nature. The last person to suffer
death by boiling in England was
Bouse, cook to the bishop of Roch
ester, who. had poisoned seventeen
persons.—8L Jjouis Republic.
“I am very much put out about this
matter," said my young friend who
had just been shown the door by the
father of a pretty young maiden.—

THE EYES OF FAMOUS MEN.
Bunn, Ituwtltoi-ne *«l Shelley Were AU
llfuiitrkable fWr Their Eye*.
Emerson used to say that each man
carriod in his oyo tho exact indication
of his rank in tho immonso scalo of
mon. Another closo observer of hu
man nature assorts that persons with
prominent eyes are found to have great
command of words and to be ready
speakers and writers. A third holds
the theory that the prevailing color of
tho men of genius is gray.
Col. Higginsou speaks of Nathaniel
Hawthorne's "gray oyes," while F. H.
Underwood “who onoe studied them
attentively, found them mottled gray
and brown, and indescribably soft and
winning." Elsewhere wo And it as
serted that “no tlner eyes bad ap-
pearotfln tho literary circles of Great
Britian since Burns’ time tlian those of
Hawthorne."
Shelley’■ eyee are always spoken of
as inaguifloent, and fully indicative of
his wayward genius. One writer de
scribes them os “large and animated,
with a dash of wlldnoss in them;" an
other speaks of them os “such a pair
of eyes as are rarely seen in a human
or any other head, lutently bluo, with
a gentle aud lambent expression, yet
wonderfully alert and engrossing."
Medwith, while writing ,of Shelley’s
appearance, refers to his blue eyes,
“very largo and prominent. They
were at times, when ho was abstracted,
as he often was in contemplation, dull,
and, as it wore, insonsiblo to external
objects; ul others, they flashed with
the Are of intelligence." Toni Moore’s
oyes were "as dark and flno as you
would wish to see under a set of vine
leaves."
Of Coleridgo tt is reported; “His
forohoad was prodigious—a great pieoo
of placid marble;uml his tine eyes, in
which all tho uctivity of his mind
scorned to eoncontrato, moved under U
with a sprightly ease, us if it were pas
time to them to carry all that thought,"
Another friend of his writes: “Tho up
per part of Coleridge’s face was excess
ively tine. His eves were lurgo, light
gray, and prominent, of liquid brill-
fancy, which some eyes of flno char
acter may be observed to possess, as
if the orb itself retreated to tho inner
most recess of the brain." In his "Life
of Sterling, "Carlyle introduces his fa
mous description of Coleridge’s ap
pearance. “Tbe deep eyes, of a light
hasel, were," he says, “as full of sor
rows as of inspiration; confused pain
looked mildly from them, as in a kind
of mild astonishment."
The eyes of Keats were described by
ono of his conteinpories as “mollow
and glowing; large, dark and sens!
ti vo." Cowdon Clarke states that thoy
were of a brown color, or dark hazel,
thus contradicting Mra. Proctor’s as
sertion that thoy were “bluo."
Leigh Hunt, in his “Autobiogra
phy," speaking of Wordsworth’s ap
pearance, says i “I never beheld eyes
that looked so inspired or supernatu
ral. They were liko Area half burn
ing, half smolderlug, with a sort of
acrid fixture of regard, and soalod at
the further end of two caverns. Ono
might imagine Ezekiel or Isaiah to
have had suoh oyes. ’’
Walter Scott says of Burns; “Thoro
was a strong expression of sense aud
shrewdness in alibis linoamouts; the
eye, alone, I think, indicated the poet
ical character and temperament. It
was large, aud of a class that glowed
(I say literally glowed) when ho spoke
with feeling or interest. I never saw
such an eye in a human head, though
I have seen tho mostdistinguislied men
of my time."—Frank Leslie’s.
Or Different Tamil/.
A prominent lawyer in New Or
leans, who died recently, was no less
noted for his toleranee than for his
legal knowledge. To a friend who
once happened to express wonder that
this trait was so highly developed in
him ho said:
“If I havo a charitable temper, I
owo it to a chance romark of an old
uncle of mine made when I was a
boy.
“He saw me one day torturing a
frog, and said, meditatively, ‘Now, I
wonder why you do that? You are
kind to dogs, birds and rabbits. ’
“I replied that the frog was hideous,
filthy and useless.
“ ’Yes, perhaps so,’ ho said, in the
same reflective tone. Tt belongs to a
different family from you. It has not
the hereditary traits of the dog, tho
rabbit or tho man. But it is not a
trait of a frog to fight or despise an
other ci-eature because it is not like
itself. That is tlie mean, senseless vice
of a man.’
“I thought over tho remark a long
time, trying to understand what he
meant by it. After that day I never
threw a stone at a frog; and I learned
to apply his meaning to the men and
women around me.”—Montreal Star.
Should Have Waited.
The will of Mra. Hannah Faxton, of
Connecticut, cut her nephew William
off with a shilling “because he was in
the habit of calling out ‘rats’ and
’chestnuts.’ " Had the old lady lived
to the McGinty period William would
not have come in for a red cent.—'De

DO-38 AND THEIR TRICKS.
Ho«t All/ Dog Can lie Taught
Trick and He'll Never Forget It.
Professor Burton, who has a troupe
of clover dogs, is an old oircus man.
no used to bo tumbler in the ring.
There comos a day in the life of every
oirous tumbler wlion he must quit the
business aud go into something else.
Burton went to training dogs. He has
keen with several companies, but is
uow on his own hook, lie had a val
uablo troupe of dogs once in New
York, but somebody poisoned them.
The professor's presont family of
dogs consists of Italian greyhounds,
German poodles, a Russian poodle, a
Russian spaniel, a livor-and-white
spaniel, a spitz, a blaok dog that does
tho somorset act, aud suvoral others.
“There is no dog." said the profes
sor, “whipli oau’t bp taugl^ a s trick of
Homo sort Of course there are some
don that learn quicker than others,
ana more tricks. I am always oskdd
how I teach dogs these tricks. Well,
there Is no trick about it that I ever
knew. It takes patience and judg
ment and kindness. I seldom use the
whip, and never in giving instructions.
In fact, I have to be very cautious.
The other day two of my family got
into a squabble. I separated them,
but with trouble. In doing eo I hod
to out ono of them with we whip.
That fellow is heartbroken. He has
hud the sulks ever sinoe. He won't
oat and ho won’t act I've got to send
him away for a few days.
“A dog should bo at least a year old
before training. I select different
breeds for different acts. The grey
hound is a natural leaper. The spaniel
is a trickster. The spitz is the clown.
The black dog—the blaok-and-tan one
—is tho acrobat.
“Under ordinary oircunutanoos the
average dog will learn hip trick in five
weeks. Then tho test comes whet) he
goes on the stage the first time. Talk
ubout peoplo having stago fright! I've
known dogs when brought on the
stage for tho tirst time moke a break
and run away and tremble like a
frightened child. When they get used
to it, though, they liko the stago, and
tho more applause thoy get the better
they act. You may think that in
stretching it, but it is a foot that trick
dogs do better if they are applauded,
and this is especially true if the ap
pluuso comes from children.
“These trick dogs know their places
on tho stage and take their oue from
ray looks. They are as eager for the
show to begin ns children, are eager for
play. This, I think, is instinct, fbr
anybody could go on the* stage with
them if he knew the words to speak
and tho motions to make, und the dogs
would go through the same pro
gramme they go through with me.
“I keep them in cages aftor the
show. Every morning at 9:80 I
them out for exercise. They are fed
twioe a day—in tho morning and after
the show at night. This troupe con
sumes about fifteen loaves of bread and
a large size market boskot of cooked
meat every day.
“They never forget a trick. I laid
off some months ago and sent tho dogs
to tho country. I had a vacation of
several weeks—me and the dogs.
When I returned to the stage with
them they went through every part
without u break. There is good feel
ing botweeu tho members of the pres
ent family: Thoy are healthy and
full of fun. There isn’t a cynie in the
lot.’.’—Chicago Tribune.
The Cnuw for Odd Leather.
An extensive leather dealer of Lon
don, traveling in this country, says
that never before was there suoh a
craze in London for queer leather os
at tho present time. He adds:* “All
kinds of skins, from elephant's to
frog’s, are pressed into service to meet,
the demands of the fashionable. Some
of our shops are stocked with a supply
of funoy articles that are made from
the skins of all sorts of beasts, reptiles
and fishes. These queer objects are
displayed in the windows, where their
appearance attracts wondering crowds.
Made up into various articles are yel
low pelican skins, lion and panther
skinB, buffalo skins, fish skins, monkey
skins, snake skins, and the coverings
of almost every living thing known.
They are tanned end sometimes color
ed with blue, gray or red. I thiuk it
looks hideous to see a pretty English
girl walking along the street swinging
a portetnoiinuie niude of tho scaly
hide of u boa constrictor. But it's fash
ion’s order, you know.”—Exchange.
I-referred III* Own -Importation.
Col. Reynolds was wounded. His
thigh wus shattered by a ball, and af
tor a grave and protracted consulta
tion the surgeons informed the brave
Irishman that his leg must be ampu
tated iu order to save his life. He was
true grit to the backbone, and protest
ed against this strongly. “Can’t you
cure the leg?” he pleaded. The sur
geons shook their heads, anil one of
them informed him that it would not
be so bad after all, as ho coaid wear a
cork leg. “It's a Cork leg I have
now," he replied, with a grim smile,
“and I think a great deal of it because
I imported it myself—I imported it
from Ireland."—Chioogo Hwitld.
