THK CHABIOT, RACE.
How It la Managed in tho Stage
Production of Ben-Hur..
Tho mechanism tiC tho chariot race
in the staijo performance of "llcn
Ilur" Is described by Benjamin E.
Smith in the November St. Nicholas.
The writer viewed the race from be
hind the Hcotiex, lie says:
Hitherto the horses have paid no at
tention to the voices of the actors In
front of tha drop scene or to tho bustle
mound thorn behind It. Hut just as
the scene Is ending, one of them pricks
up his ears nnd begins to paw the floor,
an J In an Instant all those eight pairs
of eyos are wide open, the eight heads
tiro turning nervously, and tho eight
bodies are trembling with excitement.
Tho 'prrooma take a llrmer hold of the
lilts, and the men at the brakes boar
down hard. Suddenly, without word
of cummanil or touch of lash, all of
tho eight hor&cs arc In the air! There
Is a great leap, a fierce struggle- to
shake orf the hostler'd grasp, and a
wild tattoo of beating hoofs.
''What has haupened?" we shout,
as wo jump despeiately for refuge be
hind .something that looks like shel
ter, though It is only a canvass screen.
"Nothing," answers the manager of
tills scene, at our elbow (he Is the
only unexcltcd person on the stage at
that moine nt): "the horses have mere
ly taken their cue!"
They Have watched for that last
shout of the partisans of Ben-Hur, and
as Messala immediately thereafter ap
pear0 from b"hind the drop-scene,
they know that the race is on! ror
to tlicm it is a real race, and they are
cagor for the fray.
At this dramatic and somewhat peril
ous moment the cool manager of the
race is In supreme command. He leans
forward from his station in the wings,
and at tho right Instant shouts: "Let
'om go!" The brnkes are loose.!, the
hostlers spring back, and the horses
drop instantly into their paco. and are
off, 'is they fondly imagine, down th
c-ourrfo. Tn tho next moment he shouts
again, varying only the pronoun:
"Let Iipv go;" and the pig panorama
starts on its almost equally wild enroor.
The stage bunds come hurrying oft' the
st.i(r into tho wings, almost running
ovre us as wo press close to tho man
ager, In order that wo may lose no

Item of tha remarkable scene, nnd all
Is ready 'for the order which will admit
the audience to a share In the excite
ment. Suddenly, out go the lights, and up
Boos the drop-scone, while the horses
are thundciliiK down upon us In the
total darkness, only twenty feet away!
Then the lights Mash out again and
the uuJlenco also has the race in full
view.
Not. howox-or, tho race wo see; for
in reality there aro two, ono for them
und one for us.
They see the chariots from the side,
as If they hi fact sat in tlie seats
of the ancient hippodrome. "Wo, on tho
contrary, are standing, as It wore, In
the middle of the track, directly In the
path of the speeding horses, vhos
noses wo can almost touch. And the
sight is, beyond question, a most re
markable one ono never beheld by
any one before, unless ho has had the
good luck to be standing where wo
ere now. Many have, of course, bsen
able to see, for an Instant, from a po
sition somewhat like ours, a bunch of
thoroughbreds ns they flash down tho
home stretch for the finish. Doubtless,
to", the spectators who sat at tho ends
of tho Unman circus came still nearer
to the sight as they watched the char
lots s-pped toward them down the
course. But when is it likely to have
happened to any one, outside of this
mimic hippodrome, 10 watch from a
position such as ours, eight horses
racing neck and neck for a dlstanc-j
(measured by time) of over a mile7
For from the instant tiio brakes aro
loosened .until the seen 3 ends nearly
thiee minutes elapse, nnd tho horses
are running at the rate of a mile in

How He Gets Them and What They
Signify.
Tho hostilities! in China cau.su us to
hear much about niamlnrlna, and xve
aro ko apt to look upon them as Chi
nese ofllclab? of rrcut Importanco and
we.tltli. Unit It will bo news to niapy
to know thut practically every Cliliic-so
government civil servant Is a man
darin, and that thorn are thousands of
tlicm muttered about tho oelestlal 'em
pin' whose olliclal salaries iln not ex
coed ?."i per month. These are of the
lowest, or ninth class of mandarins,
and have itiht passed their llrst exam
ination, and aro usually potty officials
in ono of the numerous custom houses.
When piomotion follows in due courso
our buddintr viceroy, provided his pec
ulations have not exceeded tho bounds
of moderation, becomes successively a
mandarin of the eighth and seventh
classes.
These two steps, however, mean very
little In advance in rank, and beforo
tho r.ixth division can be onleted an
other examination has to ba passed.
A little knowledge and a stoat deal
of bribery having been successful in
getting him through this, our man
d.nln Is now a person of some import
ance, a sort of district magistrate
piobubly, and his button is of puie
white quartz, in tlih capacity he can
supplement his Income gloriously by
.substantial pres enta from both plain
tiffs and defendants alike, and In a
few years lias probably extorted
enough from both plaint Ufa and dofen
dantn alike, and In a few yearn has
probably extorted enough from un
happy litigants to join tho ranks of
the fifth class and went- a tiansparont
crystal button on his cap, Yot an
other grade, by the same means, be
may advance In due course, and upon
attaining the dignity of tlie fourth
clnss mandarin it tniquolso button Is
substituted for the crystal one.
Hero It Is that many Chinese stop
In their upward career, for before an
other step In advance may be 'mado
another examination has to be "pass
ed," and this is a terribly cxpnnr.lve
jiroco.ss. Should tho resources of our
niandniln, however, prove equal to tho
occasion, he proudly enters tho thfnl
clnss, and his button, tlniish still blue,
Is transparent like amethvst, liy di
plomacy and cringing, still iuo,-o brib
ery and cunning, llio i-ecoril Imim is at
last open to him, and with a carved
red t-oinl button upon his cap he

Madame A. Ruppart says:
"My Face, lUouoh is not a new, untried
remedy, but has been used by the beet
people for years, and for dissolving and
rcniovinsr foroyer pimples, freckles, moth
patches, bluokbemls, eczema, tan, sunburn,
Hallowncfls, rouirlinexg or redness of the
skin, nnd for brlKhtt-ntng and beautlfylttr
the complexion It ling no equal.
It l.s absolutely harmless to the most
delicate .skin.
Tho ranrvellnug improvement after a
fo7 applications is inost apparent, tor the
skin hecomes ns nature intended It should
he, smooth, clear and hlle, free from
every impurity nnd blemish. It cannot
lull, I'm- Us action is Hiiuh that It draws the
Impurities out of the skin, nnd does not
reiver tliein up, anil is invisible during use.
This is tho only thorough ami permanent
way.

Iclulin for it, nnd any reader of this can
