On th memorable evening Voltaire's : rope” was performed for the first time in Paris. The author was known to the Paris public, but nothing that they seen of his had pleased them so m as “Merope,” and the enthusiasm f expression in noisy de to ace the author. In a letter Voltaire says this of the incident: “They dragged me out and led me by force to the box occu- pied by the Duchesse de Villars and her daughter-in-law. The whole thea- ter seemed to have gone mad-al] shouted to the duchesse to me, The noise became #5 freat Hat the lady finally obeyed. So I was, lke Alain Chartier, publicly kissed, but he was asleep, while I was wide awake.” Now authors answer similar calls by appearing before the curtain. They gain in so far that they can be seen better by their audience, but they must dispense with the duchesse’'s kiss—at least in public.—Berliner Tageblatt. 4 Pronunciation of “Theatre.” If “theatre” was originally written “theater” in English, has its pronunci- ation also varied among the orthodox— that is to say, was there ever a time when correct speakers said “theayter,” as many of the Incorrect still do? There is no direct evidence in verse of a serious kind for such pronunciation so far as we know. Shakespeare cer- tainly pronounced the word as we do now, says a London journal. But since “theayter” does really represent a long “a” of the original Greek and Latin it is not easy to understand how the vul- ww! large family, and so the elder brother, | Matthias, was kept at school and : Thomas placed at hard work on the | farm. The breaking of a leg proved a | happy incident in the life of the boy, ! as the enforced confinement gave him | time for devotion to his beloved books, { and he committed a Latin grammar to memory. Upon his recovery he again importuned his father to send him to school and, meeting a refusal, deliber- ately broke his leg the second time that he might have leisure to study. His heroic determination to learn resulted in his being placed in the same instito- tion attended by his brother, where his naturai ability and great industry gath. ered a thorough knowledge of the best English literature and a fair acquaint- ance with the Latin classics.~Ohlo Magazine, Why Horses Shy. The horse shied at a piece of white paper, and the rider tumbled off into the mud. “It is well for the world,” said an automobilist, smiling, “that it is ceas- ing to use the horse for a servant. horse is a half blind giant, with mind of a baby. No wonder, then, that when we trust out lives in his keeping he is apt to go back on us. “His main trouble is his eyes. So poor’ is the horse's sight that he mis- takes a bank of snow for a fierce white beast. A mud puddle at his feet is a yawning chasm. A shadow flung across his path is a black terror seeking his life; hence the weakminded, nearsight- ed, powerful horse goes through life beside himself with fear. He is no more to be trusted than a maniac, and, like a maniac, he sees a monster await- ing him at every corner. Yet we get on his back, fools that we are.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. uy ® How Clouds and Fogs Differ. Clouds are bodies of moisture evapo- rated from the earth and again partial ly condensed in the upper regions of the air. Fogs differ from clouds only in one respect—they come in contact with the surface of the earth while clouds are elevated above our heads. When the surface of the earth is warmer than the lower air the vapor of the earth, being condensed by the chill air, becomes mist or fog. But when the lower air is warmer than the earth the vapor rises through the air and be- comes cloud. Fog and mist differ in this respect—that mist is a fine rain, while fog is vapor not sufficiently con- densed to allow of its precipitation in drops. The Fata Morgana. The most singular aerial phenomenon 1s the fata morgana, a sea mirage seen off the coast of Calabria and between Italy and Sicily. It presents the phan- toms of cities, houses, temples, palaces and ships, sometimes in their proper position, sometimes inverted, occasion- | ally at an angle. The phenomenon has gar could have blundered on to it of | peen known for many ages and for- their own accord. It would have been | merly occasioned great and widespread more comprehensible if they had turned = g)4rm, being regarded as an evil omen an orthodox “theayter” into “theater,” just as the second “a” in “Amasis” goes too often popularly shortened now. The French language has had to mark | the length of the “a” in “theatre” by giving it a rather irregular circumflex accent, Luck In Falling. “It's a peculiar thing the tricks that luck will now and then play a chap,” said a prominent physician recently. “Take, for instance, the breaking of bones in one's body. Did you ever stop and think how very many hard and high falls a man can have, light on rocky ground with half his body | twisted under the other half, so to speak, and come off with not even a scratch? Then, again, a fellow will just trip over his own foot and, falling to the ground, break a leg or an arm. | A good many will say it all depends on how one alights, but that seems to have absolutely nothing to do with it, as I have seen a man alight in a cer- tain way from a high fall and never injure himself, and then again have I seen a second chap alight in the same identical way and break a leg and an arm.”—Columbus Dispatch. Diplomatic Reticence. The social reformer was paying a visit to the convicts in the peniten- tiary and asking them various ques- tions. “And what are you doing here, my friend?’ he said to a good looking man in the shoeshop. “Making shoes,” was the reply that discouraged any further inquisition in that direction. that betokened some general and se- | vere calamity. Curious Effects of Frost. An egg expands when it is frozen 80 much that the increased bulk breaks the shell. Apples, on the con- | trary, contract to such an extent that a full barrel will shrink until the top , layer ‘will be a foot below the chime. When the frost has been slowly and . carefully drawn out they again as- sume their normal size and appearance. Apples can be transported when the , mercury is 20 degrees below zero. Po- tatoes once touehed by frost are ruined. | An Easier Trip. “The president of this road,” remark- ed the man in the corner of the smok- i ing compartment, “is one of those old | fashioned railroaders. He began as a | brakeman. Instead of riding over the i line in a private car to inspect it, he walks over it.” “I don’t blame him,” declared the man who was making his first trip on the road.—Cleveland Press.

The clubwoman giggled. “You know, my husband's is next week,” she said, “and 1I"— Laughter overcame her for the mo- ment. —*“and I have been taking a cigar out of his case every day for the last three months. Well,” she went on, “I've got a hundred now, and I'll give them to him for a birthday present.” — Bx- change.

Over There. “And, best of all,” said the boastful American, “we have no titled aris- tocracy to support over here.” “No,” replied the foreigner, “but you that the whole human race will be saved,” said an old lady, “but for my part I hope for better things.” Castoria.
