Many an honest, hard working fellow comes to the school in Cooper Union from the shop to dud that he has forgotten what he learned when ho was a boy. This preparatory school helps him to look tho examining board in tho face, and ho is not afraid that some of his answers will be used by tho humor- i ists of tho press.

One of these pupils, a young married man whef is a hand in a foundry, answered this question propounded by The Sun: “Then the instruction I have re ceived here makes me a more con tented man.

A good cricket story is told of the late bishop of Rochester. He was batting in a local cricket match when the bowler sent a ball very i wide of the wicket. “Keep tie ball in the parish!” cried the irascible bishop.

The richest living English actor is I Mr. Bancroft, and the beginning of ; his fortune, which is said to be near ly §1,500,000. was made at a little theater in Tottenham Court road in its day as the Queen’s. Mr. Bancroft received §30.000 per annum from Eeerbohm Tree in the form of rent for the Haymarket theater, which ho purchased some 15 years ago. Sir Henry Irving gives away thou sands of dollars every year to less fortunate brothers and sisters on , the stage. Unfortunate actors have not a better or more willing friend, Wilson Barrett perhaps excepted, i 1 than tho ‘‘Knight of the stage.” ! Were it not for this fact, Sir Henry j would probably bo very rich. His productions, even costing, as they frequently do, as much as §KJO,OOO to stage, have scarcely over proved j financial failures, while his tours in > this country, where ho is most pop- j ular, have brought him enormous j sums of clear profit. His first two tours in America cleared for him above §450,000, and his last trip is said to have increased his banking account to the tune of §300,000. The Kendala have also made large fortunes here, where they have al ways met with greater success than at home. By two trips taken in 1889 and 1890 they cleared 8000,000, ; which they have increased very con- ' siderabl'y by doing the provinces in England. J. L. Toole, in spito of his popu larity in London, has nover made any very big sums out of his metro politan productions. In Australia and in the provinces ho is more ap preciated than in London, and he has had great financial prosperity. , His Australian tour, made some ■ six years ago, put some §BO,OOO into j his pocket, and his fortune is now said to exceed §400,000. George Conquest, whose right name is Oliver, inherited from his father §350,000, which he is said to have doubled during the many years he has run the Surrey theater with such conspicuous success. His year ly pantomimes, although costing enormous sums to produce, have aL, ways added largely to his wealth. Mrs. Sarah Lane is probably the richest woman in the profession. Her productions at the Britannia theater, Hoxton, have over met with successes only equaled by her own enormous popularity at this seat of blood and thunder drama. Her the ater, which is nightly filled from floor to roof by most enthusiastic audiences, only holds §SOO, but in 52 years she has, by careful man agement and judicious catering, suc ceeded in accumulating a fortune of more than §900,000. Charles Wyndham has made a I considerable fortune since he first took tho Criterion theater, 11 years V ago. His productions have always Jjeen very successful and his wealth is estimated at §500,000. Beerbohm Tree is another actor who has boon enormously success ful, but the exact amount of his for tune is not known. It is, however, acknowledged to be very largo. W. S. Penley has made a fortune out of “Charley’s Aunt. ” Indeed, if are to bo believed, the amount of tho fortune exceeds §l,ooo,ooo,and this is quite possible, considering tho years this play has been running, not only in London, but all over the world. Edward Terry, whose suc cesses in Australia have been much greater than his successes in Eng land, is the lucky possessor of some §200,000, a considerable portion of which was made out of “Sweet Lav ender.” Charles Warner is some what of a go as you please gentle man and contents himself with a fortune of approximately §150,000, while Mrs. Langtry is said to be worth about §1,000,000. —Hartford Times. Cleopatra’s I'umrny. Where does Cleopatra’s body rest? 1 Scarcely a layman who would not answer, “Why, in Egypt!” After her cajoleries, her wiles, her life of intense if not very exalted loves, Cleopatra was laid in one of the loveliest tombs that has ever been fashioned by the hand of man. But what a change 2,000 years has brought about!

Arc T-x-cnty Million Square Milet of tlie Earth Yet to Be IZxplored. Wo are apt to think that we mod erns have very little to do in the way of exploring the-globe and that ; the recent explorations in Africa have quite put the finishing touch to geographical knowledge, so that ho who wishes to set foot on virgin soil must sigh, like Alexander, for I another world. These who entertain \ such opinions may calm themselves with tho thought that no less a por tion of the earth's surface than 20,- ' 000,COO square miles is yet a fit sub ; ject for investigation, and on a large part of this the foot of civilized man has not yet trod. We translate from i the Paris “Cosmos” an article that brings this fact out very clearly. It runs as follows: “At the London geographical con gress Mr. Logan Lobley gave a very interesting study of the present state ■of exploration of the globe. It ap pears that modern geographers have ! an immense amount of labor before them to make us acquainted with all parts of the earth. This conclu sion will astonish some people, for there is a general impression that almost all regions of tho earth are Well explored. “Mr. Lobley reminds us that in the first place, toward the middle of the sixteenth century, all seas had been traversed by navigators, and that if the maps of the continents were not yet very exact, at least their relative positions and their i general configuration were known. Australia itself appears on a French map of 1542 under the name of Great Java. In ihe course of the CO i years included in the last decade of the fifteenth century and tho first half of the sixteenth a pleiad of nav igators had advanced geographic knowledge in a degree that has never been reached in any other period so short. Sebastian d’Elano had made his first voyage around the world; Vasco da Gama had doubled tho Cape of Good Hope; Christopher Co lumbus had added the two Americas to the map; the voyages of Cabot and of Magellan bad completed this won derful list of new discoveries. “Today, outside of the polar re » gions, wo must confess that all tho seas have been explored, but this is far from being the case with tho land. An immense extent is entirely unknown to us. Another, still more considerable, has been only imper fectly explored; travelers have trav ersed it, commerce has exploited some of its products, but good maps of it do not exist. Finally, only the least part is well known; geodesy has covered it with a network of triangles, and tho maps of it are com plete, even from a topographical standpoint. “After the atetio and antarctic regions, which have remained inac cessible up to tho present time, Af i rica is the part of the world that is least known to us, notwithstanding tho admirable explorations made in this century, which are daily clear ing up the map. Tho earliest explor ers, however, could not dream of serious efforts, and many years will pass before the country w’ill bo thor-.i oughly explored. “After Africa, Australia offers the vastest field to tho investigation of explorers. We must remember that 1 even its seacoast was not fully ex-1 plored till 1813. Since that time, at the price of great suffering, it hag been crossed from south to north, I J but no traveler has yet traversed it from east to west. “In the two Americas, except the i : extreme northern and southern parts, the continent is known. Never- ■ theless, the whole central region of South America, though in great part: explored for commercial purposes: (for mines, woods, caoutchouc, etc.), is not exactly mapped. “To sum up, the yet unexplored < plarts of the globe cover an area of; about 50,000,000 square (about 20,000,000 square miles), ap-' i prokimately divided thus: Square miles. “Africa 6,500,001 Australia 2,000,00( America 2,000,001 ’ Asia 200, (XX ! Islands 400, U 0( Arctic regions 8,600,00( Antarctic regions 5,300,00( Total 20,000,00 C “Opportunity will not be wanting here for a long time to the explor ers who wish to undertake their part of the immense task that must be achieved by humanity before it knows its own world.”—Literary Digest.

A BOUT AT QUARTERSTAFF. A Stout Sv- Iheherd More Than Held Hii Own With KoLlii Hood. Caroline Brown cctributes a story a'bcut “George O Green and Robin Hoed” to St. Nicholas. Hero is an account c.f the meeting between these two characters: “How art thou called, Master Pig Minder?” “George O'Green.” “Why that?’,’ “Ho, ho, bo!” reared the churl. “So w’ise, and don’t know that withal! Why, I live on tho green and mind tho pigs!” And he wiped tears of laughter from his eyes on the sleeve of his fustian jerkin. “I doubt me, ” said Robin,“if thou canst play with the quarterstaff.’-’ i “Aye, but I can!” said Gecrgc quickly. “Show thy prowess, then!” said Robin, with a quick thrust at him with his write oak staff. “Bido here and mind the pigs till I go to yon thicket and get me a staff. ’ ’ Robin consented and gazed after 1 the brawny man as be walked with long, slow strides to the oak thicket on the hither side of the brook. There he cart fully selected a tough green sapling, almost 2 inches thick, and then wrenched it off near the ground with a twist of bis powerful hands. “This bodes mo no good in tho j coming tilt, ” thought Robin. But, though ho never withdroW for any cause, rarely had ho suffered defeat. George turned him about, and, coining up to Robin, said: lend me that knife o’ i thine? ’Tis o’er too frayed for a good staff,” ho said, locking at. the fringe of splinters where he hud snapped off the stem. He trimmed the staff carefully, then handed Lack to Robin his knife. But chancing to look around, he saw the pigs scampering off to a distant corner of the common, “Thou’st not minded tho pigs! Now Goody Hoskins will rate me Well!” cried George with heat, yet timidly withal. “But Sandy didn’t give mo warn ing!” pleaded Robin. “Good old Sandy! Faithful shote! Ho knows thee not. He’ll talk only to ine. ” And George’s ill nature left him at this proof of tho faithfulness of his favorite. He set off at full speed after the pigs, Robin at his heels. When they bad got tho swine back to their own feeding ground, they lay themselves down on the short thymy turf to rest. The chase had been a right merry one, and both were short of wind; fofpiho pigs had scampered and dodged sprightfnlly in away that made tho men more weary than a five mile sprint. George dozed off on the instant, and Robin panted loud. In ten min utes Robin prodded George with his staff and said: “Sluggard, art ready?” George yawned prodigiously, showing strong teeth, white as a i young dog's, rimming his jaws. I Then ho rose and ran his fingers I through his shock of rod hair, ! stretched mightily and said briefly: I “I be. Lay on. ” “Well, then,” cried Robin, “stand ' forth now and defend thyself. I'll warrant thou wilt bo no longer sleepy when I shall have done with thee. ” At once the sound of the clashing of staves filled the air. As both wore so deft in handling the staff, j all blows were skillfully parried. At ! the end of an hour Robin’s arm be gan to weary, but George’s brawny arm was unfailing. In warding off ’ a powerful blow Robin’s arm swerv ed, and George’s staff came down on his crown with a sharp rap, the first ! hit made by either. For near two s hours longer the clashing of staves kept up, when Robin's teot slipped on ami J fWr ue rolled into the brook. Ruskin on Love. This is the rather rude n.-mner in ! which Ruskin describes moctern love ' making and marriage as he observes them in London: “In a miserable confusion cf candlelight, moonlight and limelight and anything but day light; in indecently attractive and insanely expensive dresses; in snatched moments, in bidden cor ners, in accidental impulses and dis mal ignorances, young people smirk ! and ogle and whisper and whimper | s and sneak and stumble and flutter j and fumble and blunder into wbat i they call Icve; expect to get what ever they like the moment they fan cy it and are continually in danger of losing all the honor of life for a folly and all the joy cf it by an ac- 1 cident.” But, then, Ruskin was I prejudiced. - Ean Francisco Argo naut.
