In 17is Ids majesty or dered the great hall of Hamilton Court to be eon verted for the t*’_;ue into a theater. There, in der the direction of Steele, “whose political services had been poorly recompensed hy granting him some theatrical privileges,” seven performances were given. Among the plays were “Hamlet,” “Sir Courtly Nice,” “Tin? Constant Couple,” “Lovu For Money,” “Voipone” and “Hide a Wife and Have a Wife.” Among the players were Colley Cibber, l'inketh nian, Johnson, Thurmond, Hootli, Mills, Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Younger. In former times the fee paid by the sovereign to his servants for a play noted at Whitehall had been £2O. For these plays at Hampton Court, King George, besides paying the actors their ordinary day's wage and traveling ex penses, gave £350 and added £2OO for the managers. The players were re quired to not at any time upon receiv ing a day’s notice.

Women are like sheep, in some respects, and few are strong minded enough to oppose the latest fashion, even though it means an ugly, graceless and thor oughly unpleasant way of clutching ones skirts tightly about the form to the detritement of all semblance of grace or beauty of carriage, and to the great disapproval oil) fastidious masculine eyes. Let us hope that it will soon be relegated to the limbo of other hideous fashion that annoy the “things that were.” Society is relapsing into its summer lime la.-sltude. Entertainments got fewer and fewer. Everybody is plan ing a trip—most of these will he to tho islands, but a few are preparing to flight further. Those who are not going are wishing they were, except a philosophic few, who, reflecting dark ly upon past experiences, and the i many possible contemgencies a flight ling involve*, derides to stay at honk . contenting themselves with solid com fort, independence,'and the assurance of god bed and board, cool nights, freedom from hoarding house restric tions and exactions and a hundred other small hut important things that made life endurable or the reverse.

BrcnUtiii? the Steer*. During an old homo week celebra tion in u small town in New Hamp shire there were present a learned Judge from a western city, a professor from Boston and a United States sen ator, Grave and austere of manner, as became their age and honors, they ad dress'd each other by the titles which belonged to their several stations. But they had been schoolmates, and when the senator told a story of school days the accumulated ice of forty years thawed in a burst of laughter, and they were John and‘Bill and Horace once more. The Delineator repeats one of their stories: “Bill, do you remember breaking the steers?” laughed Horace. “Now, that’s between you and me. Horace.” “No secrets here,” said John. “Out with it!” “One summer one of Bill’s steers got mired in the swamp and was killed. Bill wasn't going to miss the fun of breaking the steers, so the next winter he yoked himself up with the one that was left. I met them coming down over the mist like Sam Ilill. Bill yelled between gasps: ‘Stop us! Slop us! We’re running away!’ I cornered them in an angle of the wall. As soon as Bill got breath enough he said, ‘Bor goodness’ sake, Horace, unyoke the other steer!' ” Tin* Mercury. Though Mercury is one of the small est of the planets, it is perhaps the most troublesome to the astronomer. It lies so close to the stilt that it is seen but seldom in comparison with the other great planets. Us orbit is very eccentric, and it experiences ilis turlinnees by the attraction of other bodies in a way not yet fully under stood. A special difficulty has also been found in the attempt to place Mercury in the weighing scales. Wo can weigh the whole earth, we can weigh the sun, the moon and even Jupiter and other planets, but Mercury presents difficulties of a peculiar char acter. I.e Yerrier, however, succeeded in devising a method of weighing it. lie demonstrated that our earth is attracted by this planet, and lie showed how the amount of attraction may be disclosed by observations of the sun, so that from an examination of the ob servations he made an approximate determination of the mass of Mercury. Le Yerrier's result indicated that the weight of the planet was about the fif teenth part of the weight of the earth. In other words, if our earth was placed in a balance and fifteen globes, each equal to Mercury,-were laid in the oth er the scales would hang evenly.—“ St ory of the Heavens.” News Job Office —Best Printing.

DeWITT 4 CO., CUICAOO. Modifying :i Bow. Travelers received by the sultan of Morocco were at one time required to make the customary obeisance of the country, but that ceremonial is now omitted. The reason, according to La dy Grove in her “Seventy-one Days’ Camping,” goes hack lo a slight social awkwardness involved in carrying out that prescription. A distinguished naturalist had been presented to the sultan, and as he bowed his head to the ground, instead of supporting himself with his hands he placed them behind his back; con sequently his forehead came against the marble floor with a loud bang, and he had some difficulty in recovering himself. Tiie suiiaa was amazed. “Has not the gentleman had the honor of enter ing the presence of his own sovereign?” he asked another visitor later. “Probably he has had that honor, you:' majesty,” was tile answer. “Then,” said the sultan, “he should have learned ttie art of making saluta tions without the occurrence of such accidents.” 1 hereupon his majesty learned with astonishment that this lowly form of obeisance is not observed at European courts, and lie immediately decreed that none but the usual customs de manded by European sovereigns should be required of Europeans when they ytfjyVor left hisjjresence. < P ■ A Close Combination. / _y can got up combinations in the j to heat the band,” said a Phlla- .da drummer who had come in off a Trip and. had a shortage to explain. “In a town in western lowa I had a difference of opinion with a landlord and called him a liar. He was a depu ty sheriff, and he arrested me. His brotiier was prosecuting attorney, and he was against me. The judge was his brother-in-law, and he tried the ease. 1 said -i and take ten days in jail sooner than pay tire fine, but when I came to be locked up the jailer said to me: . “ ‘You'd better pay. I’m the father in-law of tlie judge, and it will be my duty to put you in a cell with a pris oner who’s gone crazy and wants to kill somebody.’ “I paid and was released,” said the drummer, “but l wanted revenge. 1 went to the only lawyer in town with a reputation and stated nay ease aud asked him to take it. “ ‘Yes.’ he replied, ‘but think how it would look.

J. Knox A shower of almond blossoms, a low, musk. 1 laugh, and the world had jus! begun for the young Ah Gong. It was the week of the Chinese New Year, the time when every heart Celes tial beats with joy, and the heart of tin, baml.some young Ciiiu:;n an bent with more than the usual allotment of joy as he glanced upward to find the source of the snowy shower of the om nipresent almond blossom. Was it a woman who had dared? In that glance upward liis whole soul went out to the owner of the sweet, piquant face as it leaned far out over a mass of Chinese lilies and almond blossoms, and bis young heart thriiicd with something that went straight to the heart of the fair one, the one who dared. Willi all Hie coquetry of her sex, she smiled upon him in a sweet, shy way uot to be resisted by one of the tem perament of Ah Gong. Who could wonder that in the sweet intoxication of that glance he forgot that he had a wife? A wife who was old and ugly and like a piece of parchment, not a sweet, dimpled, perfumed thing ilk* this! The fair one, Ah Leon, had been burning her incense before the good Joss and had bowed her pretty head, glistening with Jewels, so many times upon the rugs and waved her sandal wood sticks so dutifully. And while doing this it had seemed to her maiden heart that it must be lovely to he good, ns good as joss would like one to he, and after her devotions she had stepped out upon the long balcony overlooking the streets in order to gaze upon the ever changing crowd. The narrow streets were lined with almond blossoms and lilies, and in front of every door and on all the pic turesque balconies, swayed by the breeze, glowed Hie great, round lan terns, nnd in every doorway were the little bowls of burning incense and the red papers to scare away the devil. Far up in the latticed windows burned large red candles and from these same windows peeped happy faces. Ah Gong looked again, and the more he looked the mc.-e was he convinced that liis soul was hi great peril and that it was absolutely imperative that he should at once repair to the joss house and supplicate the gods. He suddenly remembered that he had been very lax in that respect lately, and with a boldness quite remarkable for one who cared nothing for these things he mounted the stairway and—well— “hearts are hearts the weary world over.” There conies a time to every one when the sound of one voice and tho j glance from two eyes have the power to thrill our heartstrings and make one forget everything except the of being iovtnk-That time She said to the maid: “Ah, Suey, look! You think btmeby he come? My hair—is it pretty? My lips—are they red? What makes me feci so strange? Will the good joss be angry?” “No, no. You are beautiful; more beautiful than the almond flower! Your eyes are stars, your mouth a rose, your heart speaks—listen!” And, listening, she heard and saw with the eyes of her soul, and then lie came, and with his coming life was changed. First, as the maid reported through the chinks of the carved woodwork, he burned Uls incense sticks and little red papers before the great joss, his silken robes clinging gracefully to his lithe form the while, and then lie placed his New Year's card, a long slip of red pa per with his name in Chinese letters, on the carved tatUe. His devotions over, what more nat ural than that lie, too, should repair to the balcony to look dowu upon the crowd? What more natural tiiau that the little Ah I,eeu should drop her fan at that precise moment? She really did not mean to do it, but she was so startled by the appearance of the one upon wliotif she had showered her al mond blossoms. He was not like any one she had ever seen, lie was so strong and handsome and young, not hi tlie least like the vicious old Gum Citing, the highbinder to whom her father had promised her in marriage. It was also quite natural that Ah 3oug should pick up the perfumed fan and return it to the fair unknown with a light pressure of the hand aud a thrilling glance from ids dark eyes.* Ah Suey might have been deaf, dting and blind for aught one could notice to the contrary. Like the well trained little maid she was. she saw and heard uothiiig. The two conversed e.s readily as ;r they had known each other for ever. and for a time Ah Leen forgot that she was promised to old Gum Oiling. She meant no harm. She was only a young thing and Human, and she had a tenf ;r. Innocent heart which had never ” fore been touched. But tonight she knew as she looked into the eyes of this man that life would never again he the same. After hearing her sad story he men ially registered a vow that she should never \ved the highbinder. They must meet again, but how and Where? It was the deaf and dumb Ah Suey who spoke at this moment and tuggested the theater. The theater all. yes! As this was only the first night of the New Year she would be allow ed her liberty for a week. A week *f blUs was before her if only sb could play wed her cards. Aud he did not remember until he had left bev that he did not thiuk to tell her he was married. She and her maid leisurely took their departure from the place, with a guilty look at the je.ss as they passed, and toddled along through the narrow, blossom lined streets to their home. She slept that night with her l'ps on Uat dainty sandalwood fan h® ugj ATLANTIC COAST LINE. PASSENGER SCHEDULE. In Effect February Ist, 1903.

Was ever, a day so long? The maid dressed her hair more gorgeously than (ho had ever done before and covered it with jeweled ornaments. The pretty Ups were dyed a vivid red, the cheek* were tinted and the eyes blackened. The long finger nails were manicured most carefully, and when at last she was ready u more beautiful picture cuimot he Imagined. With loudly heating hearts the two girls wended their way to the large theater. Pushing through the mass of Celestials who were literally packed Into every available niche of the place, they ascended with hundreds of other women and children to tho balcony next the roof. They could look down on the stage. The tomtoms were clanging noisily and the shrill notes of the stringed in struments rose high in unison with the sharp falsettos of the men who were Impersonating women. The air was heavy with (lie over present odor of opium, hut Ah Lccn hardly knew wnat was going on about her. She had told him that she would remain only long enough to be seeD at the theater, so scon the two girls slipped out unno ticed in the crowd nnd met Ah Gong in a little dressing room back of the stage. Passing on, down some narrow steps, they found themselves winding through tortuous underground corri dors. Ah Leen was completely mystified, but she had no fear of anything except separation from this wonderful being. At last they slipped into one of flit small compartments on either side of the opium scented passageway, and there, chaperoned by the little maid, they enjoyed several hours of tiuinter- Tupted Bliss. ' \ Ere they had parted they had agreed to meet again the next night at the' Josshouse. When the young Ah Gong stepped out into the pure air, he felt something pushed forcibly into his hand. A horrible fear stole upon him. He glanced quickly in every direction, but could see no one who looked as if he had done this thing. The Celestials toddled along just the same, the almond blossoms still retained their fragrance and yet—this man had just received bis death warrant. On the little slip of red paper In ids trembling hand he read: “You shall die like a dog; the reason. Ah Leen.” Knowing well that the highbinders always kept their vows, ail hope died within him. “To dio,” lie groaned, “when she lor es me! I must see Her! Perhaps we can escape if we hasten!” Ah I,eon had gone home another way. He could not warn her. “I will see her tomorrow night. Per haps we can escape!” Meanwhile Ah Leen was happy. Again foil the night. Ah Leen was first at the rendezvous, and the dutiful Ah Suey was eagerly watching through the chinks of the carved wood. “He comes! He comes! He Is fairer than the sun! See! He kneels before the joss! lie burns the iacense! He”— Just then sudden darkness fell on the place. They could, not understand. They were afraid It lasted only a moment. The tapers were relighted, and before the trem bling Ah Leen could realize what had happened she- felt her tender little body seized in the rough grasp of some one and felt his hot breath on her pretty face. With a scream of horror she looked into the yellow face, and then all hope died within hi r, for it was Gum Cbiop, toe highbinder. Forc ing her upon her tiny feet while Ah Suey was made prisoner by one of his accomplices, he brought her out into the temple, saying: “You mine now. I never let you go! You go no more to meet Ah Gong!” And then she beheld the brave and handsome one, the one whose warm lips had so lately clung to bora, lying dead in the shadow of the joss. Attention Smokers.
