THE PRINCE AT THE PLAY.
How IIin Koystl Ilighncfirt A.tends JJ- .
Engli.ih TJieutors.
The royal box ia booked in thu ui i
way of business and charged to
JIarlborougli house account. The i .
is not increased from the ordinary li .
tariff , and the stories told about a i : . . -
nal price or a larger one being p u-i 1/ .
royalty only exist , in the imagination ol
the papers who in vent such tarraduHlrK
Sometimes it happens that a bo : : . . .
not be got at the particular theater Av
oided upon. When this is the case it i -
put nicely to the party who has book !
the royal box if they could see their way
to obliging his royal highness , and the
result is of course invariably in the af
firmative. The prince , however , is very
reluctant to have this done , and always
wishes that the party obliging shall br.
as little inconvenieced as possible so
much so that when told that the box
has been conceded he generally remarks :
"Why did you disturb anybody on my
account ? I could have come hero an
other evening. Please see they are
thanked in my name. " In the rare case
of a refusal representation is made to his
royal highness , and they try for a box
at another theater.
When he goes to a theater it is his ex
pressed desire to be treated exactly the
same as one of the ordinary audience.
Little displays of flowers , bouquets ,
satin programmes , etc. , are all very
nice , but the prince does not care for
them , and would much rather do with
out them. Another thing which annoys
him is that he should be drawn atten
tion to by the performance on his arrival
of the national anthem or "God Bless
the Prince of Wales. "
As he said on one occasion , "Why
should the amusement of every member
of this audience be disturbed for my
sake ? " This was at the Olympia theater
during the run of "Fun on the Bristol. "
As soon as the royal box became occu
pied everybody was astonished to see the
orchestra suddenly stand up in the mid
dle of the performance and begin play
ing "God Bless the Prince of "Wales. "
Of course the whole house rose en
masse , every eye was directed to the
royal box and the applause was deafen
ing. The prince immediately left the
box and demanded an explanation. Mr.
Jarritt arrived and explained that it
was only the overzealousness of a too
patriotic band conductor. This con
cluded the incident , but it was accepted
as a precedent , and the same intimated
to the managers generally. This is why
you often hear people say in a theater
toward the close of the performance :
"Why , there is the Prince of "Wales over'
there in a box , and they never played
'God Save the Queen. ' What a shame ! "
The prince always waits until the
final curtain has descended before rising
to leave. This is his invariable rule. So
much so that he has sat out the entire
harlequinade of a Drury lane panto
mime. There are three or four theaters
only where he ever breaks this rule.
Thejr are those houses which have no
royal entrance , and here the prince an
ticipates the final curtain by two or
three minutes , so that his departure will
not disturb the carriage trafiBc of the re
mainder of the audience.
Immediately the prince is announced
to have visited a theater the booking
rises , barometerlike , to a good heat.
This is in reference to the booking pub
lic , but beyond this when his royal
highness likes a play he invariably rec
ommends it to all his friends. In many
other ways the prince is always think
ing-of the drama. When he sees a bene
fit announced for some well known
artist who has often ministered to his
amusement , or some poor player who
has fallen on bad times , he immediately
puts his name down for stalls or boxes
to a substantial amount. London Morn
ing.
The Fogy Not Without His Uses.
Isn't it about time that some one at
tempted a defense of the "old fogy ? " In
these days there is no one more decried.
He is popularly supposed to block the
wheels of enterprise , to stand in the way
of progress , and nearly every association
has two or three of these people whom
the members would gladly throw over
board if they could. The odd thing about
all this is the fact that the "old fogy1'
has usually been one of the creators of
the very body which seeks to be rid of
him. In the beginning he was indefati
gable ; he labored long and earnestly to
procure funds , and was oat considerable
personal sacrifice to put this or'that in
stitution on its" feet.
Now that things are finally settled
and paid for and everything is in good
running order he is disposed to let well
enough alone for a little time. But this
will not do at 'all for the young blood
which is constantly pouring in. The
new element is full of progressive ideas
and suggestions of innovations , and
when it meets resistance on the part of
the "old fogy" there is a clashing of
opinions. Buffalo Courier.
How to Light a Solid Body.
Cadogan Morgan was the first elec
trician to experiment with electric light
in 'solid bodies. This was in 1780. He
first inserted two wires into a stick of
wood and caused the spark to pass be
tween them. This had the effect of il
luminating the stick a beautiful blood
red. An ivory ball , an orange or an
apple may be lighted in the same man
ner. Some experimenters prefer the
lemon for this purpose , it being very sus
ceptible to the electric discharge , flash
ing forth at every spark as a spheroid of
brilliant golden light. The wires used
for this purpose should be brought with
in about half an inch of each other in
side the lemon. St. Louis Republic.
Tbomus Hardy's Methods.
Thomas Hardy , the novelist , has been
telling something about his home and
method of work. If he turns out 3,000
words in a day he thinks he has done
well. He usually begins work between
10 and 11 , and writes tmtil luncheon.
Ho has never tried the typewriter , but
he writes with copying ink , duplicating
his MS. by the copying press , so as al
ways to have a second copy of his work.
Found n Pc-trlilcd Standing Forest.
P. B. Schemorhorn , geologist , who re
cently discovered the great glaciers in
Idaho county , has found a fossil forest
in the center of Ouster county. In the
same locality he has discovered the pet
rified bones of a now extinct race of men
and animals , which will bo sent to Chi
cago.
The forest covers an area of four
square miles , and the condition of the
ground shows that at one time an enor
mous flow of clay , which worked in from
the northwest , buried the tree trunks tea
a great depth. This clay has turned to
stone , and no one can ascertain its true
depth without going to great expense.
All the trees in this forest have their
tops broken off and. stand from ten to
forty feet above the ground , averaging
about twenty-eight to the acre. Seheni-
erhorn took the exact measurement of
some of the trees , and found fhem to
average twelve feet in diameter on top
and bixteen feet in diameter at the sur
face of the ground.
How far the trunk reached through
the clay stone to the soil he had no
means of ascertaining. A branch which
had become detached from a tree and
was lying about sixteen feet from , it was
three feet in diameter. From the size
of the trees and their branches Mr.
tliirilrsfVinv nvn n. snpfif > s ( if
redwood , such as is found in California ,
and attributes their fossilization to Hi"
clay , which , bearing a large part c-f
mineral , and presumably coming fn.i.i
some volcano soon turned the liv. iy
trees into monuments of stone. Idaho

A Cow Inside of a I.og.
Owen Glance } ' , of Summit , missed a
very valuable cow last week and spent
several days looking for her without
finding any trace of her whereabouts ,
and had about concluded that she had
been stolen when one of his children
discovered the animal not over fifty
yards from the house' She had wandered
into a hollow'cedar log , presumably to
get into the shade , and in pushing her
way for fifty feet into the log she passed
through a place where it had splintered
in falling , with the splinters headed ia
the direction she was going.
Of course when she attempted to back
out her exit was effectually blocked , the
splinters having sprung back. And there
she was , as securely confined as any pris
oner in the penitentiary. When discov
ered there she had been imprisoned for
five days.
Mr. Glancey had to cut the log in
front of her before she could be taken
out , nothing the worse for her experi
ence except for her enforced fast. The
cow weighs about 1,500 pounds , so the.
size of the cedar timber in that "neck
of the woods" can be imagined. Elmira
( N. Y. ) Chronicle.
Extraordinary Accident to a Diver.
A diver named Jones , residing in Car
diff , was engaged yesterday in attempt
ing to raise the steamship Accrington ,
which was beached at Penarth some
time since after being jn collision. She
had several holes in her side , which had
been plugged while the vessel was
pumped out. Jones accidentally pushed
in one of these plugs with his right
hand , and the suction of the water be
came so great that his arm was drawn
into the hole to the shoulder , and he
oould not withdraw it.
A message was telegraphed to Cardiff
docks for another diver. Nearly two
hours elapsed before he reached Penarth
with his diving apparatus , and in this
time Jones had become so exhausted
that he was found hanging by the ves
sel's side on his arm. When rescued ,
which took some time , he was so ex
hausted that he had to be lifted on board
the steamer. St. James Gazette.
A New Overcoat for Fall Dress.
A new overcoat for full dress is vouch
safed by the swell Londoners. It is a
most diplomatic innovation , and seems
to belong to another regime of manners ,
when men of fashion met on Fleet street
and courtesied elaborately and strode
magnificently through the minuet. In
these days of skirt dancing and serpen
tine high kicking and ta-ra-ra boom
such a vogue seems untimely.
But it is really a most engaging typo
to contemplate , consisting as it does of
one single cape of black material. It
hangs in military grandeur so far down
as to cover the coat tails. The especial
feature is a very high velvet standing
collar that comes tight together in front ,
and is held in place by an oxidized silver
clasp. Clothier and Furnisher.
Petrified "Watermelons.
A valuable specimen of petrified vege
tation may be seen in this city. It con
sists of pieces of rock which have the
exact shape and appearance of water
melons. There are two of the speci
mens , the larger one being about sixteen
inches long and eight inches in diameter.
The small one is about nine inches long.
The end of the larger specimen is broken
off , which appears to plainly show the
rind , the seeds and the red core. There
are also specimens of what appear to be
petrified pine cones. They were brought
to Auburn by Jacob Eoll of Rocklin , and
were found between Rocklin and Rose-
ville. Placer ( Colo. ) Republican.
The " \Vorld Has Progressed.
One of the earliest telescopic discov
eries by Galileo was that Jupiter is at
tended by four moons ; one of the latest ,
by Professor Barnard , with the huge
Lick telescope , is that our largest plan
etary neighbor has a fifth satellite. The
first discovery was received with deri
sion by even the philosophers of the Sev
enteenth century. Professor Barnard's
announcement is enthusiastically hailed
by the multitude as one of the greatest
achievements of the age. The world
has moved. Ohio State Journal.
Beca ia a School House.
When the school house of the Galla
gher district , in Mason Valley , Nev. ,
was opened after the summer vacation
it was found that bees were in posses
sion of the desks , and it is claimed that
about 300 pounds of honey were taken
from them.
( Great Financiers Who Tear Paper.
The propensity to tear paper into little
bits is peculiar to Wall street brokers.
Visitors in the Stock exchange fro-
'quently comment on the fact that the
floor of the largo boardroom is thickly
strewn with tiny pieces of paper. Each
broker carries a small memorandum
pad , and as he becomes excited ho tears
off a page and proceeds to convert it into
the largest number of infinitesimal
pieces of which his fingers are capable.
Some uncommonly nervous brokers will
j destroy two or three pads a day in tnu
i manner. Mr. Henry Clews is a tireless
paper tearer. When he is talking bnsi-
j ness in his office his hands are restlessly
' reducing paper to snowflakes , which ho
throws into the air and watches with
apparent interest as they scatter over
the floor and the furniture. He prob
ably tears up more paper and tears it
liner than any other man in Wall street.
Mr. Jay Gould is also somewhat ad
dicted to the habit of paper tearing , al
though , like his friend Russell Sage , ho
folds it and twists it and plays with it
for ; quite awhile before destroying it.
John H. Inman tears up a great deal of
paper while talking. General Samuel
Thomas not only tears it up , but fre
quently puts it in his mo.nth and chews it
in an absentminded way. Mr. J. Pier-
Tiont Moriran will carefullv make rib
bens of a sheet of note paper while medi
tating upon some financial problem.
Mr. John D. Rockefeller , when inter
ested in conversation , will make figures ,
letters and fantastic characters on his
pad. When he fills a page with charac
ters he will tear it off , crumple it up and
throw it away , and then begin on an
other page. New York Times.
How a Chinaman Sills a Chicken.
One might imagine that the China
man who gorges himself with broiled
rats and bird's nest soup would eat any
kind of meat prepared in any manner ,
but such is not the case. John China
man has his religious notions about
such things as well as other people.
Many of the almond eyed inhabitants of
Chicago are not very good Buddhists.
Since coming to the city they have be
come apostate. But watch the orthodox
Chinaman when he goes to the market
for his Sundar chicken. He will not
take a dead one because the probabili
ties are that the fellow who killed it was
not a believer in Gautama and may have
chopped its head off with a hatchet. His
chicken must have it head on and be
very much alive.
John will go to the coop and stir the
feathered prisoners up with a stick. If
lie finds one that cackles and flutters
about in a lively manner he will buy it.
He has no use for a dumpish , sickly ap
pearing fowl.
Having made a selection he takes the
chicken home alive , gets out a dirty lit
tle iinacre. kneels before it. makes some
queer motions with his hands , mumbles
a few words , takes from a shelf or
drawer a knife with a double edged
blade which is extremely sharp , and
with much ceremony whacks off the
head of the fowl. This done he returns
to the image , and kneeling again apolo
gizes for having committed such a wick
ed deed and proceeds to prepare the
chicken for dinner. Chicago Tribune.
"Willing to Be of Service.
Judge Hut-Jiinson was called upon to
marry a young couple. Julius Wolpe ,
aged twenty-one , and Dora Alberti , a
young miss of nineteen , appeared in the
county clerk's office and procured a li
cense. After securing the paper the
the young man was embarrassed and
did not know exactly what to do. The
couple walked through the building arm
in arm , and attracted the attention of a
lawyer with , an eye open for business.
"What can I do for you ? " he asked.
"We want to get married , " returned
the young man.
The lawyer led the parties before
Judge Hutchinson , and without hesita
tion the judge started in to tie the knot.
"Do you take this woman"
"Yes sir , " broke in the young man.
"Don't be in a hurry , " said the judge.
"Just wait until I get through with the
question. "
Wolpe was then asked if he would
take Dora for better or for worse and
forever and forever , etc. , and he said he
would. Dora made the same promises ,
and the ceremony was over with.
"I hope you people will never want a
divorce , " spoke up the lawyer as the
parties were leaving , "but if yon do ,
why here is my card. " Chicago Times.
Fuel on ILargo Ocean Steamers.
Ocean steamers consume much more
fuel than the average person is aware of.
Take , for an instance , the vessels of the
Orient line , which make regular trips
between Australia and Great Britain.
The fastest steamer of that line is the
Austral , which makes the voyage from
London to Sydney in thirty-five days.
During the "trip out" she never uses
less than 3,659 tons of coal , and on the
return voyage often as much as 4,000
tons. She has three coaling stations ,
and bunkers that will hold 2,750 tons
without overcrowding.
English-Amer
ican "liners" like the Oregon consume
330 tons of coal per day for every day
between Liverpool and New York.
The Sterling Castle went to China for
a load of tea. She brought back a cargo
of 2,200 tons of that staple Chinese com
modity , but consumed 5,000 tons of coal
in making the round trip from Liver
pool. Immense stocks of coal are con
stantly kept on hand at St. Vincent ,
Madeira , Port Said , Singapore and other
oriental coaling stations , there often be
ing as much as 200,000 tons in store at
the last named place. London Letter.
Finding for the lawyer.
Sometimes the jury returns a verdict
for the lawyer , of which the following.
is a good instance : Mr. John Jones , a
barrister of great influence and ability , !
was a leading counselor practicing in the
Welsh circuit. Upon one occasion , after |
a felicitous speech on behalf of his client 1
hi a criminal case , the jury , as soon as
Ihe judge had summed up , without wait-1
tag for the officer to take their verdict ,
jailed out , "My lord , we are all for
John Jones , with costs ! " London Tit-
Bits.
Telltale Pork Chop * .
Quite a novelty in the annals of jus
tice has been the conviction of a mur
derer by the tacit hut effective testimony
of the remains of a couple of pork chops
which , gnawed to the hone , hud been
left on the table in the dining room of
the unfortunate lady whom he had just
done to death.
At the end of last year Mine. Leblnu ,
the widow of a doctor in practice in
Tilly-sur-Meuse , suddenly disappeared.
She lived quite alone , and her absence
was not noticed by the neighbors for
Bome days. The door of the house was
broken open , and all the rooms were
found in a state of the utmost disorder ,
the floor of the kitchen being covered
with blood.
The plate and various other articles of
value had , however , not been touched ,
though several bank notes a list of
which was afterward discovered in a
drawer had been removed from the
desk in which the money was kept. It
was soon ascertained that two of these
securities were in the possession of a
peasant named Aubertiu , who resided in
the neighborhood , and was known to be
deeply in debt. When Aubertin was
arrested he denied that ho had any hand
in the crime , but it shortly transpired
that on the very day when the murder
was nmnmitrflfl IIR had bought a counle
of pork chops from a local dealer , and
there on the dining room table lay the
telltale debris. Paris Cor. London Tele

A Tree That Produces Ilain.
The people of Stillwater are greatly
mystified over a remarkable natural
phenomenon which exists near that
town. In the field of Robert Copper ,
south of that place , stands a large cot-
tv nwood tree , with its branches leaning
out over the bed of a little creek. A
few weeks ago a party of picnickers
stopped under the tree and were star
tled by finding that there was a contin
ual shower of water falling from its
leaves and branches. It is in the shape
of a fine mist or drizzle , but can be
plainly felt and seen at all times. Al
though it had not rained in that part of
the territory for weeks , the fall of water
froni that tree has kept up continually ,
and crowds of people come from a dis
tance every day to view the wonderful
curiosity.
Those scientifically inclined speculate ,
theorize and give it up ; the supersti
tious ones shake their heads ominously ,
but the tree keeps right on sending
down its shower , and whenever the sun
is shining a beautiful rainbow can be
seen under its branches. Oklahoma

The Lady and the Elephant.
The London courts will be called upon
soon to decide one of the most curious
cases that ever puzzled legal brains. A
lady was seated a few weeks ago in the
Zoological garden , and for security's
sake removed from her pocket to her
lap a purse containing sis sovereigns.
The show elephant shortly afterward
came on its round , and , mistaking the
brown purse for a bun , gracefully trans
ferred it to its trunk and thence into its
stomach. The management of the gar
dens were at once appealed to and emet
ics were applied , but no more than two
of the sovereigns and munched bits of
the purse were recovered. The solicitors
for the lady are now , therefore , suing
the Zoological society for the missing
four sovereigns , and , seeing that the so
ciety possesses the elephant and the ele
phant possesses the sovereigns , the plain
tiff claims to have a clear case. London
Chronicle.
Excusable Intoxication.
Persons who have the misfortune to be
come intoxicated in a casual way in
stead of in the orthodox fashion some
times put themselves to much trouble to
discover reasons for their illness. Some
times it is indigestion , sometimes smoke ,
sometimes excitement that is adjudged
responsible , but Ellen Baker , who was
in the dock at the Thames police court on
a charge of inebriety , has found out a
new and hitherto quite unsuspected ex
citing cause.
She had just returned , she explained ,
from a month's "hopping" in Kent , and
"the jolting of the train had made her
drunk. " Any human being , particularly
a woman , deserved commiseration in
such circumstances , and it is not sur
prising , therefore , that Mr. Rose , the
magistrate , allowed the defendant to be
discharged. London Telegraph.
A "Wild Deer's Free Kail road Trip.
The trainmen on a freight train d Jie
Central Vermont railroad discovered a
deer caught in a wire fence near Pitts-
ford. The men succeeded in capturing
the animal uninjured and brought it to
Rutland. Hundreds of persons gathered
in the railroad yard to see the animal.
As the law makes it illegal to kill deer
in this state , an officer of the Deer Pro :
tective society , who got the particulars
from the captors , paid them liberally for
their trouble , had them take back the
deer on the return of the same train"
and set it again at liberty. Cor. Boston .

was visiting at Turk Hill , Conn. , it is
said that he dropped a bright copper
penny near the site of the Mead home
stead. It was one of the few coined in
that year , and diligent search was made
for it , but all to no purpose. The prop
erty changed hands several weeks ago ,
and the new proprietor began to make
some improvements. In throwing out
the dirt near the old foundation the old
penny is reported to have been unearthed.
A Pittsburg man returned from Hot
