MONARCH S AT THE PLAY.
Some Who Are Fond of Theatrical
Entertainments.

Nothing1 is more remarkable tliaa
the pronounced fondness of the
crowned heads of Europe for the
drama. Even Queen Victoria, who
from lliedeuthof tin-prince consort up
to a year or two apo was believed to
rcyarl theatergoing1 ' tne light f a
sin and the drama as a device of the
devil, has now blossomed forth into an
enthusiastic patron of the stage, in
deed, in proportion as her British
majesty prows older in years she ap
pears to become more youthful in her
tastes, anil there are few thing's more
stranpe than the extraordinary inter
est which this septuagenarian sover
eign has suddenly and at so late a
period in life developed for theatrical
atTairs.
One of the London companies after
another has been called upon to trans
port itself bar and baggage to Wind
sor for the purpose of giving perform
ances in the presence of the queen and
her court on a teniMrary but yet elab
orate stape erected for the occasion in
the superb hall known as the Waterloo
gallery. The queen, according to the
New York World, has even pone so far
as to order one of the metropolitan
troops up to l.almoi'al at an enormous
expense for a sinple performance.
In the early days of her married life
the queen was quite a familiar figure at
the various leadinp theaters and was
especially fond of the opera, which she
would attend with a considerable
amount of state, yeomen of the puard.
or "beef eaters," arrayed in their pic
turesque medieval costume, being sta
tioned not only at the entrance of the
royal Wx. but also on the stape in
front of the latter. The lords and pen
tlcmen in waitinp in attendance on
the queen and her husband on such oc
casions as these were arrayed in uni
form ami were required to remain
standin in the rear of the royal box
throughout the entire performance.
The queen witnesses these perform
ances with every possible comfort
to herself. She usually enters the
hall where the stape has been set
up after all the others have taken
their places and sits in a comforta
ble crimson velvet and pilt armchair
slightly in advance of the remainder of
the audience, with a small table by her
side, on which arc placed her pink satin
and pold lettered propramme. her fan.
her handkerchief, etc. The orchestra
is almost concealed by a bank of (low
ers and foliape. Flowers indeed
abound everywhere. Xo applause is
permitted save when initiated and led
by the queen, who is, however, very
liberal in her uiauifestationsof appreci
ation, as well as pciicrous in her gift -,
of jewelry to the artists who have
especially pleased her.
Queen Victoria is the only European
sovereign now livinp except the sultan
of Turkey who adopts this met hod of
havinp the theater brought to her at a
comparatively larpe expense instead of
poinp to it. The Turkish monarch
maintains as a part of his enormom
household an entire troupe of French
and Belgian actors, whose principal
duty is to Jierform the farces and
dramas composed by the sultan. He
does not write them himself, it is trim
but contents himself with coinmiinicat
inp his ideas of the projected piece and
the character of the plot if there is
one to the chief of the troupe, who
thereupon writes the play in accord
ance with his imperial master's instrnc
t ioiis. 1 1 is on the strenpth of this that
the present commander of the faith
ful" lays claim to Ik- considered as
quite .1 remarkable playwright.
Emperor William, of tJermany, on
the other hand, who is quite as pas
sionately fond of the drama as his fel
low monarchs. is a frequent visitor to
the various theaters of his capital.
The manaper usually only receives no
tice of his cominp a few hours before
hand. The emperor is very demonstra
tive in his manifestations of applause,
as well as of dissatisfaction, and makes
a practieeof suiuuioniup the actors to
the royal box between the acts for the
purpose of communicating to them
his criticism of the performance and
his instructions as to how they should
a.-t their parts. Another feature of
EnqK-ror W illiam's visits to the theater
is the supper which he invariably par
takes of durinp the wait previous to
the last act.
The enqieror of Austria is likewise a
constant attendant at the Viennese
theaters and rarely makes use of the
royal box. prefcrrinp in lieu thereof
one of the lower stape Imixcs. Kinp
Humbert of Italy is seldom seen at the
theaters; his wife, Queen Marpuerite,
attends dramatic performances at least
two or three times a week durinp the
Roman season. The czar is exceeding
ly fond of French vaudevilles. He, too,
prefers poinp to the theater instead of
havinp the latter broupht to him in the
shape of dramatic performances at the
palace.
TREES AND PLANTS.
1 Tiifrk are one hundred and twenty
two different varieties of roses in a
garden at Lexinpton, Fla.
Fi ft k f.n thousand oranpes prew on
one tree last season, at Altoona. Fla.
The tree is twenty-tive years old, ami
thirty feet hiph.
Nk.W tiiiNF.A is extremely rich in
plants, the number of species discov
ered in the last sixty-five years Wing
2.000.
Kosfs are pood travelers. They can
be carried almost any reasonable dis
tance at any is.n f the year with
the certainty of arriviup in pood condi
tion. Tkkks are planted alonp the slopes
of railroad cuts and banks in Austria
and in other places where there is
room. A recent statement shows that
these plantations include alx.ut :i7u.

HARD TO KILL.
A Story of m Finh'n llriuarkable Tenaci
ty or l.lfo.
Or. Shirely I'almer tells a fish story
that is calculated to make the nicmWrs
of the St. Louis Huntinp and Fishinp
association (to use a strictly original
expression), -turn preen with envy."
I'.y some hook or crook, hook no doubt,
Mr. Palmer came into possession of a
fine brace of tench. They were a live
ly pair of tinny beauties when the doe
tor took them home with the idea of
slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner, l'lacinp them in a pail of water
he put them into the larder and thoupht
no more ala.ut the matter. That uipht
it midnipht he was arous.il, so he says
byaproau proceeding from the a fori
aid larder. Insection of the room ex
plained the mystery. One of the fash
had sprunp from the basin or pail and
lay paspmp upon the fl.M.r, every now
and then utterinp sounds similar to
Ui.tee which had disturWd Mr. Calmer.
Next day U.tli fish ware prepared for
dinner, but such was their tenacity of
life that l-,th. after havinp undergone
the process of scalinp and eviscerat ion
sprang fro,., the pan and wripplcd
about on the floor as thouph they had
but recently been removed from their
native element.
The above is told as a scientific fact.

TURNED GRAY IN A NIGHT.
How Urrnuui'i llmlr Wm IllaiOi hed by
the Horror of Lta-llrlaaB.
Though it has lonp; been a popular
lielit-f that the hair maybe suddenly
turned white under the influence of
some very powerful emotion, such as
(Tri,.( cr terror and thouph nuiuerous
stories about it are related in popular
literature and folk tales, yet some
physiologists are doubtful of such a
sudden change ever talcing place, and
well authenticated instances of its
act uul occurrence are ery rare. The
case of Ovide Musin, the riolinist,
whose hair and beard were completely
blanched as the result of a railroad
wreck, is much better vouched for than
most stories of the kind, though there
are a few that seem to answer the re
quirements of the most exacting; scien
tists. One of these quoted by the New
York Advertiser is mentioned in lr.
Virchow's "Archives for April, isou,"
by lr. Landois, as occurring- under
the observation of himself and Dr.
Uilimer. In this case the blanching
of the hair occurred in a hospital in a
single night while the patient was
under the daily observation of the vis
iting physicians, and it would seem to
prove bej'ond a doubt not o'uly that
actual grief or terror may produce
this peculiar result, but that the sim
ulated horrors of delirium may have
the same effect. The patient, a com
positor thirty-four years of age, with
light hair and blue eyVs, was admitted
into the hospital July V, ls.r, suffering
from an acute attack of delirium tre
mens. A marked peculiarity in the
disease was excessive terror whenever
anyone approached the patient- lie
sli-pt for twelve hours on the night
of the Uth of July after having
taken thirty drops of laudanum. L'p
to this time nothing unusual had been
observed regarding the hair. On the
rooming of Julv li it was evident to
the medical attendants and to all who
saw the patient that the hair of the
head and beard had become gray. The
patient himself remarked the change
with intense astonishment. The hair
remained gray as long as the patient
was under observation, to Septem
ber 17.
FIRE-DOCTORS OF FEZ.
How Muoriih )UaM:k Treat Rheumatic
I'atlarnta.
In Fez there are fire-doctors who sit
in the more frequented streets, waiting
f.r rheumatic patients. Each doctor,
says an exchange, has a little furnace,
a pair of lellows and a number of curiously-shaped
iron rods before him.
When not operating he solemnly and
incessantly reads a book of one sen
tence. "There is no God, but tJod, and Mo
hammed is his prophet."
When a patient appears the doctor
lays down his book, blows up his fire
with his bellows and sticks into the
coals several of the rods, which are
alx.ut two feet long and have queer
knobs and hooks on their heated ends.
White waiting for these to get hot he
constantly repeats his one sentence.
When all is ready the patient pays his
K-o, In-. uju'u oa ins iacN and draw.,
his clothing upon his back. In the
name of God," says the fire-doctor, and
passes a red-hot rod with great delib
eration over various parts of the back.
It makes a '"sizzling" noise, and a smell
of burnt flesh fills the air. Meantime
a crowd of men have collected to wit
ness the operation. They incessant ly
pass their fingers through their beards
and praise God and Mohammed. Fre
quently the patient after one opc-ra-tioii
lies still for awhile, perhas wait
ing for another twinge of the disease.
If it comes he perceives that he is not
quite cured and demands another in
stallment of the treatment, for which
he pays another fee.
INGENIOUS SMUGGLERS.
Tlie I'oat OfUre a ao I oa t ruuien t, for
Their Illi-fiU TralUc
The post office inspectors keep a
sharp lookout for smuggling through
the mails, says a Washington letter to
the ISoston Transcript. About 750
scak-J packages are seized annually in
the New York post office. In an aver
age year -.a, OOU unsealed parcels are
confiscated at the same office and rc-lca:--d
on the payment of- fines which
are equivalent to the duties. Some
very ingenious methods are employed
for transmitting dutiable articles by
post. Not long ago a package from
Germany was found to contain a small
roll i.f butter. A wire passed through
it met with an obstruction, which
proved to Ik a tin box filled with valu
able jewelry. IVobably a dozen silk
ha ul kerchiefs are found wrapped up
in newspapers in every mail from
China. The skill exhibited by the
jvistal clerks in detecting such contra
band inc Insures is wonderful. It seems
to iiartakc of the nature of intuition.
They s.ay they do not know themselves
how they do it, but that a newsaper
with a silk handkerchief in it has a
sort. of guilty feeling when manipulat
ed. Silk stockings are mailed from
France in the same manner. An odd
kind of smuggling is the sending of
mushrooms by mail from Italy. They
are of a peculiar kind, dried, and are
much relished by natives of that coun
try in the United States. They come
in small bags and are easily dis
tinguished by smell.
IRELAND OF OTHER TIMES.
The Palmy Ilaya of lliu-Un-r. Hard Drink.
lug. Van and JoUlitc-atloa.
Never was such a time of feasting
and jollification as the palmy days of
the Irish parliament, says All the Year
Kound. The county elections were a
continued scene of fighting, fun and
revelry. It is one continuous Ikmny
brook fair, and the county elector,
with a good coat on his back and
money clinking in his pocket.
Steps into a tent, just to npend half a crown.
StL-pn out, meets a friend, and for Joy knock
him down
With hi sprig of chillelah and hamrock so
jrcen!
With the same gayety of heart, the
gentlemen fought their battles with
more deadly weapons. At that time
dueling was a recognized part of the
social code. The "thirty-six command
ments," arranged by a gentleman
of Gal way, formed a complete set of
rules on all the punctilios of the
duello. According to the printed rules
of Gal way, seconds, if desirous, may
exchange shots at right angles to
their principals, and, lest the gentle
men should have lorgotten their math
ematics, there is a diagram to explain
how this right-angled fire is arranged.
The pistol was a national weapon, the
long, heavy dueling pistol, which was
handed to the principal by his second,
'"the flints hammered and the feather
f.pring set." Some Irish gentlemen
who had served in France tried to sub
stitute the small sword for the pistol,
and a dueling c-lub was formed in Dub
lin '"a most agreeable and useful as
sociation" the members of which
styled themselves the "Knights of
Tara." and who strove by practice in
the fencing school and on the field of
honor to bring the rapier intofahion
again. Uut their practices were de
nounced as "frivolous" by the regular
blazers, and national habits were too
strong for the innovators. "Well hit,
but no lives lost," was the bulletin
most hoped for on the conclusion of a
duel, for the kindly Iri-h nature re
coiled from occasioning the death of a
neighbor, and perhaps a friend, but
wounds were glorious, and none could
doubt the honor of one who had been
winged on such an occasion.
