Their plays, like our1, are divided into -civil" and 'military"; the civil plays con.-iMt either of music solely when tim wound id of a laxeh'w or solely of mimicry. The majority are taken from tbe history of the count rj'. The scenery is marvelous. When one scene is finished the curtain is droped and the scenery changed. Below the stage music is played daring the interludes. In the case of these old romance- Feveral scenes are brought totcetl.er to form a play, and if this play is acted today it will be acted again tomorrow, so as to give every one an opportunity of seeing it. When no more visitors come to see, an other play is substituted, or the troupe removes to another theater. Military jdays are those in which acrobats are engaged; the theaters in this case are omewhat larger and are known as "camps" (circuses). Temple Bar. FamotiM IlurKes of the (JreeliH. The Greeks were geuuine lovers of horses. It was claimed that Posideon struck the earth and produced the horse a ioetic way of saj-iug that horses were first imj-orted into Greece from be yond the sea. Homer's favorite appella tion for the Greek heroes is "tamer of horses." And almost every page of the Iliad shows that Homer's admiration for the chieftains is almost matched by his enthusiasm for the firm footed coursers, the fiery steeds, the horses famed in war. No common animals were these of the Greeks and Trojans. The horses of Eneas were of the stock which Zeus the thnnderer gave to Tros. The horses of Kheus were as glorious as the sun; the 6now was not so white, the wind not so swift as they. The horses of Dromed seemed to be in the air as they flew along, but of all the horses that proudly distinguished themselves in that famous war, the wooden horse took the lead for efficiency. It was the wooden horse that gave Troy to the Greeks. Caroline K. Sherman in Chi cago Herald. A Tree That Furuishea Ileal Lace. The department of agriculture has is sued a very curious and interesting list of plants useful to man which are con tained in its collection. Among the most remarkable of these is the lace bark tree of Jamaica, the in ner bark of which is composed of many layers of fibers that interlace it in all di rections. Caps, ruffles, and even com plete suits of lace are made from it. It bears washing with common soap, and when bleached in the sun acquires a de gree of whiteness equal to the best arti ficial lace, with which this surprising natural product compares quite favor ably as to beauty. Washington Star. Clothe That Royalties Wear. What funny people royalties are! If 1 were to visit a Persian in his home it would never occur to me to put on a flowing robe and a sheepskin hat and to expect the Persian to receive me in Euro pean garb. But royalties never seem able to meet without exchanging clothes. For instance, "when the emperor arrived at Port Victoria his majesty made his appearance in the garb of an English ad miral, and the Prince of Wales responded to this delicate attention by donning the dress of a Blucher hussar, while his brothers and son masqueraded as German hussars and Uhlans. London Truth. Another Good Way. A Dutchman went about selling a preparation for poisoning a certain kind of troublesome insect. ' You take de insec mit de finger an de dumb of von handt," said the ped dler, "an den mit de odder handt you put de pizen in his mout. " 'But. said the farmer, "If you've got to catch and hold them that way, why can't you smash em and done with it?" "Veil," said the Dutchman, "dot's a good vay, too!" Youth's Companion. A gentleman narrowly escaped being drowned by a salmon in Scotland. He hooked a large fish and entered the water to free the line, which had caught to a bowlder, when the salmon swam round and round the would be captor, fixing the line firmly round both his legs. But for the prompt assistance of a gillie, the gentleman might have been drowned. One of the queerest names for a street - is that borne by a public thoroughfare r:in the annexed district of New York -..called Featherbed lane. It is supposed to have been so christened because it is V f nil of rocks. The name occurs in the -city directory.

It was j i-t at the beginning of a rain, and the gn; tn an had no waterproof along It weuied that at every second dfr some one had to get on. The car was con stantly stopping It was tilled to tiie last limit long ugo. but still people were waving their arms from the pavement and clambering up and in some way. Nobody knows how many i ersons can pet into a Chicago street car. At one corner three women with babies in their arms stopped the car and Kot in. Thegripmau swore a little at them At the next a man looked at the clouds, hignaled the gripman and got in out of the wet. The rain began to come down a little more derisively. The gnp uiau started up and threw the lever far forward. lie wanted to shoot straight to the stables without stopping. There was another man The car had not ruu forty feet. The gripman swere very roundly as lie loosed the lever and pulled back on the brake. Then he started, bent the talons of the grip about the cable and plunged ahead again. Tliere was another woman. The car had run just half a block. The pas sengers looked up as they saw the wav ing arms of the waiter. They expected to hear a very volley of oaths at this second stop. The gripm;n's face was a study. First it was black as night. Then he looked closely at the woman. He hated her aiid wanted to blast her witli a frown. Then his brow softened. A twinkle came into his eyes His lips parted and his great wooden face broke into a kindly laugh. What had she done? Who was she' Did he know her? Nothing uothing at all. He knew nothing alxmt her. She was only a handsome girl, and she laughed a caress right into his lips as he frowned at her. Smiles are better than scepters any day. Chicago Herald. Wherein liananat Surpatig Wheat. The banana belongs to the lily family, and is a develod tropical Uy, from which by ages of cultivation the seeds have been eliminated and the frnit for which it was cultivated greatly expand ed. In relation to the bearing qualities of this fruit Humboldt, who early saw tbe wonders of the plant, said that the ground that wonld grow ninety-nine pounds of potatoes would also grow thirty-three pounds of wheat, but that the same ground would grow 4,000 pounds of bananas, consequently to that of wheat is 133 to 1 and to that of pota toes 44 to 1. The banana possesses all of the essen tials to the sustenance of life. The savage of the sea isles and the jungle owes what be has of physical strength to this food. Wheat alone, potatoes alone, will not do this. When taken as a steady diet it is cooked baked dry in the green stt '.e, pulped and boiled in water as soup, or cut in slices and fried. I do not know whose beauty 1 admire the most, the ma jestic cocoa palm, with its heavy crown of great fringed leaves, or the graceful banana, with its great leaves, which are six feet long and two feet wide. Gold thwaite's Ueojrapliical Magazine. Wliite ireMe No Longer Worn. "Speakiug retrospectively," said a fashionable widow, "when I was a girl in society the white dress was consid ered one of the sweetest things a young lady could wear. Now one never sees them except at a commencement or a wedding. Prints, prints, prints! Even the sweet girl graduate in a white dress is a rarity. As for Broadway, the sight of a white dress on anybody but an in fant is a thing of general feminine com ment. "I know it is rather daring to venturo an opinion in this era of colors, but I think now that a young and pretty woman in pure white is the lovelies. vision in the world of beauty. She neea not be so very young, either, if reason ably pretty. I've seen women who could be called without offense neither young nor pretty who looked better in white than anything they could have put on." . And what man of forty upward, pray, will not agree with her? The man with a handpainted mus tache or beard went out with the white dress. New York Herald. Tbo Bane of the Unruly Student. The dean's office at Harvard is, from the nature of affairs, a purgatory. A "summons" to the dean means that there is trouble for the man who is summoned. The high court of justice sits in the dean's office. That is. it does so far as the undergraduates know, for here are delivered all the court's decisions. At one time in the history of Harvard col lege there hung in the room of every un dergraduate a cartoon. It was a picture of "U 5" the dean's office. A grinning Mephistopheles stood at the door welcoming a long line of con demned wretches. Over the door was this legend, "Who enters here leaves all hope behind." Nearly every man who in recent years has left Harvard college in disgrace has left hope behind when he last entered the door of "U 5." New York Tribune. Few Marderers Repent. There is a popular notion to the effect that a murderer is necessarily pursued by the furies of regret and repentance; but the truth seems to be that such feel ings are rarely entertained by the offend er. Surgeon Bruce Thomson, of the gen eral prison of Scotland, says that of the 500 murderers he has known only three could be ascertained to have exhibited any remorseful symptoms. The true criminal is unrestrained by moral per ception from crime and the same lack of sensibility forbids contrition. Washing ton Star. Do not be angry if the roosters awaken you at daybreak. Remember that if you went to bed at 6unset you would be willing to get np with the chickens, and roosters den't stop to consider such things. and ivve songs for them that love to tarry in the gloaming But 1 heard Sur. lay the or; piece of music that twar:ged upon the heartstrings of the married people. (iilmore's band was playing ''Remin iscences of Mendelssohn," and a thou- j eand tiead were wagging an accoaipaui- uieiii Suddenly, by way of finale, the "Wed ding March" struck up. The effect was electrical. All over the audience tno wedded pairs looked at each other and smiled tenderly It was a reminiscence. What happy visions it called up! Here was a couple, homely, raw, from the country evidently who had jut started out to guide the plow together. j The march had been played for them in the little village church not long ago. but now they heard it played indeed. They leaned a little closer together, and her big hand, fixed out to kill ia cotton mits. which showed the wedding ring, sought his and held it. And all through the tudietjce 1 saw ijrns of the pictures called up by that fragrant and alluring bit of music. Old couples and young, rich and poor, those who live like cats and dogs together and those who have learned the pleasant alchemy of forbearance in wedded life, all were for the moment bewitched. Ta, ta. tara-rara, turn tiddle de dum de di do. It fairly makes me reminis cent myself, though they played Wag ner at my blessed wedding. New York Herald. Character iia Catint;. There are few things by which char acter is more unmistakably portrayed than by a man's choice of food and the manner in which he devours it. In his preference for coarse or delicate edibles, or lack of preference for any in the de liberate slowness or voracious quick ness with which he consumes them traits of character otherwise hidden are revealed. The dinner of a people sre an infallible index of the national life. It has been justly said that there is a whole geological cycle of progressive civilization between the clammy dough out of which a statuette might be mold ed and the brittle films that melt upon the tongue like flakes of lukewarm snow. In England one of the tests by which the various parties in the state church are unerringly distinguished is the test convivial. For example, it is 6aid that Eome years ago a clergyman in that country went to a hotel to order a din ner for a number of clerical friends. "May 1 ask, sir," said the waiter grave ly, "whether the party is high church or low church?" "Now. what on earth," cried the clergyman, "do my friends' opinions matter to you?" "A great deal, sir," rejoined the waiter. "If high church. 1 must provide more wine; if low church, more wittles." Professor William Matthews in Boston Traveler. Victims of Misplaced Confidence. There is a famous dairy farm that sup plies a large city not a thousand miles away from New York. The place was started some years ago by a wealthy gentleman of very high social and ro ligious standing in the community which he aimed to supply. Of course, tbe farm was extensively advertised, and among the "best families" in that city a few years ago it was scarcely possible to find one which did not boast of having upon its table the eggs, butter and milk from this establishment. In due course of time the venerable proprietor of this farm went the way of all humanity. When his executors came to settle the affairs of his estate one of the heaviest liabilities was a large ac count for milk that had been regularly furnished for a period of several years from one of the largest swill milk con cerns in the neighborhood. It is almost needless to say that the former patrons of this famous farm, when they learned of this little revelation, were less enthusi astic than they had been before. New York Recorder. A Cheerful Regrgar. "Boss." he said, "can you give me five cents to get a cup of coffee with?" He was a Broadway beggar, with a cheerful face and a buoyant manner. Fortune had frowned upon him, but he was not at all disturbed; he simply laughed in fortune's face. The man to whom the beggar had spoken halted. "1 don't know that I have got five cents," he said, but at the same time he put his hand into his pock et. Encouraged by this movement, the cheerful beggar continued: "Make it ten cents, and 1 can get a sandwich to go with the coffee." "I can't do that," said the man, and he added, as he handed over two cents, "this is the best 1 can do." "It's all right," the beggar said, "per fectly satisfactory; 1 ain't fixing the price. New York Sun. Bow Carl Schura Learned EnglUh. Few foreigners indeed few English or Americans speak and write the Eng lish language with the grace and purity of Carl Schnrz. and be explains the fact as follows: " When I first came to America I found that 1 knew as little practical English as the Yale or Barvard 6tudent who has read 'Faust and 'Piccolomini' knows of German. 1 went to a bookstore and asked for the classic of the English lan guage. . The 'Vicar of Wakefield' was given me. I made a careful translation of the work into Cierman. laid it aside for six weeks, retranslated it ;nto Eng lish, critically compared the two versions, and knew the English language." Youth's Companion. Pin Superstition. Superstition has special claims upon the pin; it should, we are told, "be lent, not given." There is a by no means small class of sensitive minded folks who re gard the exchange of a pin a sure and sharp prick to friendship, and there is another goodly number that put them selves to all manner of inconvenience to stoop and pick np every pin that lies in their pathway.
