THE WILY COMEDIAN. Hit Mlxup With a Contract, a Leflal Feo and an Opinion. There was a certain comic opera comedian who made no end of '.noney nnd wlio Rcorned anything like osten tatious recklessness In the spending of It Ho wns iiltnoHt morbid on the sub Ject, In fnct, nnd there wore those who said that he went to evening Instcnd of morning service ho thnt he might hnve the two of the money he dropped into the box n little longer. This Is by way of explaining the grief which owe befell him In Cleveland. Somebody had phiyod nn engagement nt n ccrtnln thenter nnd hnd received n frigid reception, which stage peoplo cnll n frost. The comcdlnn wnsn't go ing to run nny risks. He wouldn't piny nt the theater unless n certnln amount of money wns promised him. The mnnnger of the thenter offered n very largo percentage of the receipts; but, oh, denr, no, the wily comedian wasn't going to bo caught by such chnff ns thnt. He Insisted upon a lump mim regardless of receipts. The sum wns gunrnnteed, the contrnct signed. The comcdlnn came to town nnd, stroll ing ns If by chnnco Into the box ofllce, naked how the house wns selling. "Oh," snld the ticket seller, "wo sold every sent In the house ten days ngol" The comedlnn'n blood boiled. "Would," wild ho to himself, "oh, would (hat I' hnd accepted the percent age! It would havo been doublo what I get now." It was too lato, however, to rely on simple wouldlng to chango matters, so ho sought the foremost nttomey of the town, showed him the contract nnd ex pressed his desire to break It and abide by the customary pcrccntngo plan. Itefore the attorney would con sent to express an opinion the ques tion of feo enmo up, and the comedian handed him ?.r00. The man at lnw then took, t ho paper and examined It. "My dear sir," snld he, "that con trnct can't possibly bo broken. I drew It up myself." It Is not tuM'what the temperaturo of Cleveland nccordlng to the govern ment report was that day, but In the neighborhood of that comedian things fairly sizzled. Washington Star. COAL AS FUEL It Was In Uso as Far Back as the Time of Kino Solomon. Tho first mention of coal In the an nals of mankind occurs In the Itlble, rrovorbs xxvl, 21, ns follows: "As coals nru to burning coals nnd wood to tire,' so Is a contentions man to klndlo Htrlfo." This was written about 1010 II. C, nt tho time King Solomon camo Into powor. I'art of his dominion wim Syria, nnd ancient coal mines nru worked In' thnt country today. There nro several other references to coal in tho Itlble, all of a later date. Tools nnd cinders have been found near tho Itomau.wnll, Indicating that the llrlt- ons were familiar with (ho use of coal prior tq tho Itomnn Invasion In M It. 0, Tho first actual record of a coal transaction Is tho receipt for twelve enrt loads of coal written by the good abbot of Peterborough, A. I). 8.Y.!. Years boforo tho Christian era coal wns in common uso in uninn. Ant lira clto coal Is powdered, mixed wllh wet clay an'd rolled Into balls. These are dried In themin, and the poor uso this fuel in little hand furnaces precisely ns they did centuries ago. Marco Polo npenks of seeing In 11175 "a kind of blnck stone In Cathay that Is used to burn better than wood." Marco Polo's countrymen refused to bellovo tho traveler's tnlo, The earliest historic mention of eon! in the United Mates Is by the Krencl Jesuit missionary father Hennepin who In his Journal In 1070 speaks of traces of coal appearing on the banks of tho Munis river and makes the slto of a "colo mine" on tho .lames river, near Klchniontl, tho llrst mine opened for tho market. In 17(1(1 anthracite was discovered In tho Wyoming valley nnd n sample of tho coal sent to Thorn ns nnd William Penn In London. Car rlugtou Phelps In Metropolitan Mnga zinc. How Germany Deals With the Waster, Germany has a law Mint provides that If It can bo proved that n man Is earning a HUlllelent wage to suppor ' those dependent on him, but that ho I dlsslpntlug Hint wage by vicious hub its, ho can bo declared n minor, and ho Is then treated as n child. Ills em ploycr Is told that tho wage must be pnld not to tho man, but to n guardian appointed by the magistrate of the district In which ho lives, who uses It for the support of tho wife and chll drcn. In HngJand a man who could not got his wage might refuse to work, In Germany the police would see that ho did his work.- Progress. Her Opportunity. Tho man hater had Just announced her engagement. "Hut you always said that men were horrid creatures," said her friends. "So they are," replied the Initio t bo, "nnd hero's my opportunity to pun lali one of thorn." They nil agreed that It was real no bio of her. Philadelphia Ledger. Tho Eternal Marathon. "Mnn," declared tho old fashioned preacher, "Is a worm."

' Horrors Incidental to Old Time Exe cution by Drowning. Execution by drowning was abol ished In Trance by Henri Qiiatre, only to bo revived by one of his successors. It was flnnlly nbollshed as a stntutory method of execution by tho earliest de cree of tho great revolutionaries. As Into as the eighteenth century death by drowning wns decreed to n felon In Edinburgh, and In the mlddlo ages It was a common enough mode of doing a convicted criminal to death. That execution of this nnture was con- Bldered as humane as nny other, so fnr ns tho victim wns concerned, Is shown by tho fnct thnt It wns not unknown nmong the early Jews, who varied the punishment of stoning adulteresses by drowning them. Among the Egypt Inns It was r opinion. The Itoman lex Cor nelia snnctloncd tho method by placing It on tho Htntulo records. Tncltus tells us thnt tho Oermnns copied the prac tice from the Itomans. Tho Teuton termed It tho "Inst baptism," nnd ho did not nllow his powers of Imagina tion to sleep when he set about de vising additional varieties which should ndd to tho excitement attend ing upon the doomed person's depar ture from life. The convict was sewed up, Monte Crlsto fashion, In a bag, nnd with him were Inclosed n vicious dog, n hungry cnt, n violent rooster, n ven omous viper, nil very much nllvo nnu presumably kicking. For whnt renson It is hnrd to see, but denth by drowning was by many peoples considered prefcrnblo for crim inal women. In tho ense of very do- based or very mean offenders tho Romans had n moro or less pleasant faHlilon of drowning tho doomed ones in marshes, first Incasing them In clnborato crates. For refined cruelty in killing off their fcmnlo crlmlnnlH the cnrller Albnnlnns were ccrtnlnly tho most Inventive In tho matter of Ingenuity. It Is com monly known, of courso, that oven tho modem Albanian hns less respect for womankind than nny other known male In tho human cntnlogue, not even ex cluding the Chinese. The approved met lied of doing n criminal or even n dlsplenslng woman to deatli prevalent among them up to rather less than n century ago wns to chain her In n tank Into which the wnter was allowed to flow gradually. As the water reached her breast It was allowed to recede, sometimes back to her ankles, when the refilling of tho tnnk began anew If the woman had children the torture was varied by tho drowning or inutlln tlon of them before her eyes. To van ous parts of her body wns attached such ford as attracts rats, of which a numb"f would be lot loose. Now York World. Fog Filters In London. "All London public buildings nro now erected with fog filters," said an nrehltert. "Thoy are essential. Lon don's yrl'nw brown fog, made of the smoke of a million soft coal fires, smells of sulphur. Irritates eyes and throat and onuses hendaehe. It pone trates houses. Waking on-n winter morning, you onn't see ncross your bedroom for It. Ho now nil public buildings filter It. Tho air Is drnwn In one orifice only, and fans hurl It ngnlnst curtains of cotton six Inches thick. It Is forced through theso cur tnlns. It comes out on the other side for distribution through tho various rooms a fairly clean, pure, transparent air. P.ut the white filter curtnlnsl Ev ery tiny they must be changed. It takes only an hour to gray them, and by nlghtfnll they are ns blnck ns Ink." Scottish Imnnrtlnlltv.

Much Llko Demosthenes. "Woman," ho said, "really ought to bo a better orator than man." "Why so?" she asked. "Ilecause," ho replied, "to n certnln extent at least she follows the moth ods of that famed orator Domes t hones." "In what wny?" she Inquired, still busy with tho finishing touches of hoi toilet. "You remember," ho nnswered, "thnt Demosthenes used to practice tnlklnp with his mouth full of pebbles." She hastily took tho plus out of hot month and Informed him that ho was a mean old thing anyway. Now York Times And So He Left Them.

Strangely enough, the house of lords Btlll renin Ins tho most democratic in stitution In England, It may still claim for Itself to be tho Wltenngcmot, or gntherlng of wlso mon, nnd one wonders why It does not defend Itself along those lines. It Is not n house of birth or ances try, for It is composed todny to nn overwhelming extent of successful men from almost every wnlk of life. No ono cares n fig whnt n mnn'H an cestry wns In this mntter of fnct lnnd ho succeeds, If ho becomes rich and powerful. The mother of the great Queen Eliz abeth wns tho daughter of a plain Eng lish gentleman. A pot girl of Westminster mnrrlcd tho mnstcr of tho pothouse. After his denth she consulted n Inwyer nnmed Hyde. Mr. Hyde mnrrlcd her. Mr. Hyde nflcrwnrd became lord chancel' or, with the tltlo of Lord Clnrendon, nnd his wife, tho former pot girl, bore him n daughter. This daughter mar ried the Duke of York nnd became tho mother of Mary and Anno Htcwnrt, both nfterwr.rd queens of Englnnd. It Is evident that If queens of Eng land mny have a bnrninld for grand mother lesser mortals need not fret on tho subject of ancestry. The Englishman would not bo whnt he Is nor would he In tho lenst be transmitting his very vnluable Saxon heritage If he gnve up his democratic custom of nn nrlstocrncy of powor for tho feeblo continental custom of an aristocracy of birth. What the one nnd tho other Is todny nnswers the question ns to tho relntlvo merits of the two systems without need of dis cussion. The English, though nowa days ninny of them do not know It themselves, nro the most democratic of all nations. William tho Conqueror divided En" lnnd among the commanders of hi? nrmy nnd conferred about twenty earl doms. Not one of thec exists today, nor do nny of tho honors conferred by William ItnftiB. 1087-1100; Henry I.. 1100-1 i:tr; Stephen, 1 1.15-1 1B-1; Henry II., 1151-118!); Richard I., 1180-110!); or John, 1100-1210. PRISONERS OF WAR. Friendly Foes That Changed Places ns Guests and Hosts. A cheerful Incident of the war be tween tho stntes Is told In "Mission nidge and Lookout Mountain." The Third Ohio, under Strolght's commnnd, wns en routo for Richmond, prisoners of wnr. One night they camped, worn.rfaob. lHhed. with hearts heavy nnu nonie sick, near tho place where n Confodcr uto regiment, the Fifty-fourth Virginia. was stationed. Many of the southern ers strolled over to tho prison camp to seo the sorry show of tho poor, sup perlcss Ynnkecs. Thov did not stny long. IJnclc to their own enmp they hurried nnd soon returned with kettles of coffee, corn bread, bacon tho best they had nnd nil they had. Presently llttlo fires bo gnn to twinkle In the prison enmp, nnd the nromn of coffee rose like n frn grnnt cloud of thnnk offering. Union gnosis nnd Confederate hosts mingled. Tho next morning tho prisoners de parted. Now conies n happy sequel which woll balances tho affair. Lntor, when tho prisoners were- exchanged, the Third Ohio wns encamped neur Kelly's ferry, on tho banks of the Tennessee. On the day of the storming of Mis slonary rldgo nmong the prisoners tak en were numbered the Fifty-fourth Vlrglnln. Some of xlho Third Ohio were on duty at the ferry when tho prison tle- tnchinonts arrived. "What regiment Is that?" thoy asked "When told .thoy started on the run, uhoutlng as they went: "Tho Fifty-fourth Virginia's at the ferry 1" They dashed Into their camp with tho news. Tho placo was astir In Htantly. Treasures of coffee, bacou sugar, beef, preserved peaches -every thing wan turned out and carried doublo quick to' the ferry. The cir cumstances were the same, with tho difference that guests and hosts had changed places. Getting a Line on Prospects. "Sir, I havo a very personal business proposition to make to you, but before approaching that would you euro to make a statement of your Iluauclnl condition?" "Certainly. I have been established lit this business for more thnn twenty live years, my yearly Income Is well Into the hundreds of thousands and constantly Increasing, I have unllnilt ed credit nnd also have real estate valued at a couple of millions. Co abend!" "Thnt Is quite satisfactory. Now may 1 ask for the hand of your daugh ter?"-Now York Herald. His Mean Way. "Henry asked you If you hnd mndo that cake, did he? Well, what was thero In that to wound your feelings child?" , "It was the the way ho snld 11, mamma, no ho didn't nsk nwno If I'd made It. He he said. 'Marling, fl-dld you perpetrate this cake?' " Chicago Tribune. And Went. "When I leave you tonight" began Mr. Stoplate. "Ooodneas!" Interrupted Miss Tor loop.
