COURTESY IN LONDON SHOWS. Butlneci of Getting In Is all Sounded In Minor Key. The Englishman's dislike of uolse jnd fum Is everywhere nianlfcut tn London, but nowhere more so than at the theatre. The business of getting in Is nil sounded In a minor key. There Is no iiusnomly buBtle. From the moment that the tall commission aire an ex-soldler, with perhaps two or three service meduls up on hi breast ushers you In at tho Iront door you are In the hands of well tralnod servants. It Is as If you were an honored guest at a private house. Even the man In the box office beams you a welcome through hie window, and the uniformed attendant seems glue to boo you, In spite of the fact that brass buttons have a tendency to dry up tho wellsprlngs of human kindness. He directs you smilingly to the mouth of the tunnel leading to the 6talls. Here your ticket a large, lmprpKulve document, printed on white paper and resembling a tax receipt is taken by a neat young woman, who hits been waiting for you. Nu ally she Is in black, with a ilah'ty vliile apron, lace collar and cutis, and nil exceedingly c hic little whit J luce cap. There are slight variations In this dress, as regards color, In iilt utiit liOiidou theatres, lu some tlio maids' frocks are of the pri'vain:., tint of tho Interior of the house.

Caught Bird With Fishhook. William Goodwin, a member of tlio cr w of the fishing schooner Mystery, which has just returned from tne Georges, is the leadeMn a new kind of fisheries in which the bait Is a piece of pork and the victim is a bird. Goodwin modestly disclaims ull the title to iho original idea, and says that when he went out to handle his trawls he had no idea of making nU mange catch. The prize which he drew in was a flue apecflmeu of gunnet which had takeu a fancy to the cold porl: which baited that particular hook. When the novelty of the situation had worn off, Goodwin decided to keep his captive, and took It back to the schooner. Since then, whenever the fishermen have gone too close to the bird, they have missed pieces of their oilskin trousers. The gaunet has a pharp and power ful bill, nearly three inches long, andJ he alo has a vicious temper. Since his capture he has constantly remind ed the crew of his presence by nip ping them In the lege aa they passed The bird Is a full grown specimen, slightly larger than a duck, and some what resembling him la appearance, except for the size of his bill. The one taken by the fisherman is finely marked with flecks of white or dull brown Doston Transport. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the dis ease.

For a moment they ceased firing, and every soul listened with intense anxiety. Gradually, however, a murmur of bitter disappointment burst out as the colonel shook his head. Our dull Lowland ears heard nothing but the rattle of the muske try. "A few momeuts more of this death like suspense and Jessie cried in a voice so clear and piercing tuat it was heard along the whole line: " 'Will ye no believe it noo?

CATCHING FISTI IN I.ASKF.TS. An Fas Method . Which Obtained Around the Bay of Fnndy. The Bay of Fundy has always been a famotig finning ground especially for salmon and nhad. Fifty yoHra go the fish were so plentiful tlmt a method was used to catch them which seems odd nowadays when a fish has at leant half a chance to es cape the hook or the net The tide rises high In the Pay of Fundy and Its headwaters, and of this fact the fishermen of fifty years ngo took full rtflvantage. At high tide the water makes sizable river of tiny streams. Largo schools of shad and other fish in those days came ui the river with the tide. The method of catching them was simple In the extreme. At low tide a seine would be staked to the river bed and the top of the seine weight ed to the bottom with leads. Then after the tide had risen the fisher men would pull up the seine so that it formed a barrier across the entire river bed. Wuen the tide began to run out the fish would find their return to the sea and freedom barred effect ively. The little feilowi. of course, would make their way through the seltie, but the ones worth catching would flop lmpotently against the meshes. Soon the tide would be out com pletely, leaving only a foot of water In the river. Several thousand fish would be there for the taking. A pair of rubber boots and a basket would be sufficient equipment for tho fishermen, who waded out an" gathered them in wholesale. Tho fish don't run up the rivers any more, and the seining must bn done in the bay Itself. This Is prof itable, It is true, but a fish with half a head can avoid capture for a long time. Or.IGIX OF MOVING PICTURES. lies alt of an Experiment to Show Itotli Sides of u Coin at Once. Tho beginning of the moving pic ture was In this wis.?: Sir John Her sc.hel after dinner in l&UG asked h'.s friend Charles Babbagn, how he would show both sides of a shilling at once. 13abbag replied by taking a shilling from his pocket and hold ing it to a mirror. This did not satisfy Sir John, who set the shilling spinning upon the table, at tho same time pointing out th:". if the eye Is placed on a level with the rotating coin both sides can bo seen at once. Uabbage wns so struck by the experiment that the next day he described It to a friend. Dr. Kltton, who Immediately made a working model. On one side of c disk was drawn a bird, .on tho other side an empty bird cage. This model showed vlia :eis.stence of vision on which ail moving pictures depend for their ef fect. The eye retains the Image of tho object seen for a fraction of a second after the object has been re moved. This model was called ;ho thaurnntrope. Next came th-j zoctrope or wheel of life. A cylinder was perforated with a scries of slots and within the cylinder was placed a band of draw ings ot dancing men. On the nppar at being slowly rotated the figures sein through the slots appeared to be In motion.

Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there is no trip like that on the Great Lakes; those inland seas which form the border line between the United States and Canada And June is one of the most charming months in the year in which to take the trip. For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor Line have no superiors. As well-appointed as the palatial ocean greyhounds which plow the Atlantic, their schedule allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the traveler to see something of the great lake cities and to view in daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the scenery which frames them. The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake, thence through Lake Huron, the locking of the steamer through the great locks at the Soo, and the passage of the Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper end of Mich igan are novel and interesting features. The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven hundred milts in the five days' journey. Leaving Buffalo, the steamships Juniata and Tionesta, make stops at Erie. Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the Soo, Marquette, Houghton aud Hancock, and Duluth, The 1908 season opens on June 16, when the Steamer Tionesta will make her first sailing from Buffalo. The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Penn sylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high standard set by the "Standard Railroad of America." A.n illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of steamers, rates of fare, and other information is in course of prepara tion, and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylva nia Railroad Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book pass engers who may desire to take this trip through the Great Lakes and back. 611-18.
