BARNSTORMING.
A Peculiar Incident in the Early
Life of an Actor.
Playing to an Audience Com
posed of One Family.
Joseph Jefferson, the great actor, thus
describes in the Century a curious inci
dent of his early career: "We now en
tered upon a course of the most primi
tive acting, going from town to town
and giving entertainments in tho din
ing rooms of the hotels. As there
were no papers published in these
small villages, there were no printing
oftices, consequently no bills; so flam
ing announcements of our arrival in a
bold handwriting were displayed in tho
three important points of the town,
viz.: the hotel, the postofiice and the
barber-shop. It fell to my duty, being
an adept with the brush, to write, or
rather paint these advertisements. The
plays were acted in costume, but with
out scenery or curtain. The nightly
receipts were small—just about enough
to get us from place to place.
"Our objective point was the town of
Liberty, Miss.; but there was some dif
ficulty in getting there, as the distance
was greater than we could accomplish
in a day. A farmer who had been to
tho theatre the night before for tho first
time in his life was so struck by the
performance that he proposed to have
his teams brought in and take us to his
farm-house, about twenty-five miles dis
tant. According to his suggestion we
were to rest for a day, give an enter
tainment in his barn, and so go oa to
Liberty.
"'But,' said my brother, 'you tell
me there is no other house there but
your own. What shall we do for an
audience?'
" 'Well,' said tho farmer, 'all my
family will come, to begin with, and
there is a dozen or more on 'em; then
there's eight or ton farm-houses close by
and if one of your men will drive there
with my son and blow the horn, they
will all come, for thero ain't one on 'em
ever seen a play before. I'll insure you
a full barn.'
"So tho matter was settled, and we
actually played in a barn, the house
that we staid in being the only one in
sight. It seemed in vain to look for
an audience in such a lonely place, but
the farmer was right. Soon after the
sun had gono down tho full harvest
moon rose, and by its dim light we
could faintly see family groups of peo
ple, two and sometimes three on a
horse, coming from all directions over
the hill—now a wagon with a great
load. Some of them walked, but nil
were quiet and serious, and apparently
wondering what they were going to
see.
"Those who have traveled through
the Southern states will perhaps remem
ber the kind of barn we acted in:
there were two log houses joined to
gether, with an opening between them,
which was floored and covered in. The
seats were arranged out-side in tho open
air—benches, chairs and logs. The
double barn on each side was used for
dressing-rooms and for making en
trances and exits, while the opening
was devoted to the stage The open air
was well fi led, containing an audience
of about 60 persons. Our enthusiastic
admirer, the farmer, collected the ad
mission fee, a dollar being charged and
freely given. The plays were 'The
Lady of Lyons' and 'The Spectre
Bridegroom.' The farmer had supplied
us liberally with candles, so that the
early part of the entertainment was
brilliantly illuminated, but tho evening
breeze had fanned the lights so fiercely
that by tho time the farce began tho
footlights wero gono. The little 'flam
ing ministers' ha I all sputtered out, so
•The Spectre Bridegroom' was acted in
the moonlight.
"It was curious to watch the effect
of a strong emotional play liko 'The
Lady of Lyons' upon an audienco that
had never seen a drama before: they
rot only were much interested, but
they became excited over the trials of
the hero and heioine; they talked free
ly among themselves, and, at times, to
the actors. One old lady insisted that
the lovers should bo 'allowed their own
way,' and a stalwart young farmer
warned tho villain not to interfere again
'if he knew what was best for him.
Left Unexpectedly.
"No, I do not know Miss Smith any
longer. We have parted forever. Her
father came between us."
"Yet you say you are going up there
now?"
"Yes. To get my hat and overcoat."
No Faith in the Timepiece.

Is There a Canine Language 112
A curious sight was witnessed one
afternoon ou the wharf at Cincinnati.
A gentleman, accompanied by two fino
specimens of the water spaniel, went
down to the landing of the Newport
ferry, at the foot of Lawrence street.
Somehow ho became separated from tho
canines, or rather they failed to follow
him aboard. Tho boat had got out in
tho stream, when the dogs caught sight
of thoir master and discovered ho was
fast leaving them. Standing on tho
edge of tho float, both set vip a vigor
ous yelping, which attracted tho atten
tion of the bystanders.
Suddenly the older and larger dog
plunged into the river and began to
swim rapidly toward tho Kentucky
shore. lie had gone about 100 yards
when he seemed to become awaro that
his bruto companion had not followed.
Turning around, ho swam back toward
the spot where the younger dog stood.
As He drew alongside the float ho mule
no effort to get aboard. Tho two began
to Dark at each other—to hold an ani
mated conversation in the dog tongue,
as it were. Tho older dog, as he float
ed by the side of tho lauding, barked
encouragement to the more timid ani
mal, and apparently was urging the lat
ter to jump into tho water. Tho bark
ing duct lasted some minutes, and then
the young dog, seemingly convinced by
his companion's assurance, grew bold,
and suddenly bounded into the river.
The first dog gave a delighted yelp,
and, both turning their noses toward
Kentucky, began to swim straight
across, side by side. Bath continued
to bark until they reached tho a.'iore, |
and could bo heard on both sides of tho !
river. The people on tho ferry and tho j
Kentucky shore saw the strange race, j
and with peoplo on this side and on j
the bridge, watched it to tho end. Tho
dogs landed opposite to tho barracks,
whore they were awaited by their own
er, who, with several other gentlemen,
had hurriedly walked down tho bank.
There was no limit to the delight of
the two animals as they rushed up to
their master. Tho river at that point
is nearly half a mile wide. The action ;
of the dogs seemed to indicate that
they had a language of their own, and j
the paternal manifestations of the elder ;
brute were most interesting to see. !
The Egyptian Pyramids.
The following are figures giving di
mensions of the principal pyramids of ;
Egypt: Pyramid of Khu'u, height
450.75 feet, breadth of base 746 feet;
Pyramid of Khara, 447.5 feet high,
090.75 feet breadth at base; Pyramid |
of Menkara, 203 feet high and 352. 878 j
feet breadth at base. As soon as |
Pharaoh mounted tho throne he gave 1
orders to a nobleman, tho master of all !
the buildings of the land, to plan tho \
work and cut the stone. The ker- !
nel of tho future edifice was raised ou i
the limestone soil of tha desert, in tho I
form of a small pyramid, built in steps .
of which tho well-constructed and tin- j
ished interior formed tho king's eternal j
dwelling, with his stone sarcophagus ;
lying on the stone floor. Let us sup- !
pose that this first building was finished |
while the Pharaoh still lived. A sec-'
ond covering was added, stone by stono, |
on the outside of tho kernel, a third to j
tho second, and to this even a fourth, !
and the mass of the giant building j
grew greater the longjr the king en- I
joyed existence. And then at last, |
when it became almost impossible to !
extend tho area cf the pyramid farther, i
a casing of hard stone, polished liko
glass, and fitted accurately, into tho
angles of the steps, c vered tho vast
mass of tho king's sepulchre, present
ing a gigantic triangle on each of its
four faces. More than 70 such pyra
mids once rose on tho margin of the
desert, each toiling of a king of whom
it was at onc» tho tomb and the monu
ment.
A Smart Dog.
Z. T. Devore, a Par Iters burg (W. Va.)
merchant, owns a dog of superior in
telligence. The dog goes to tho store
with the mail every morning, and from
it takes the mail addressed to the pri
vate residence to Mr. Devoro's home.
Nothing can divert him while attending
to his duties as mail carrier, and he
never makes a mistake in taking tho
letters to their proper direction. Every
evening he sees to it that the evening
papers are taken to tho house, and if by
chance the papers should be missing,
either by being blown away by the wind
or carried off by the boys, the dog
makes a raid into some neighbor's yard
and hypothecates a paper, which ho
carries off home.
His Affliction.
"We all of us have sotuo affliction or
other." said the landlady. "Come, tell
us, Mr. Sliman, what is yours?"
"My affliction," said Mr. Sliman, as
he gave a wistful gla..ce at the meagro
contents of the bread plato, "iny afflic
tion s a good appetite. 1 '
Tha conversation was dropped.
CHARACTER IN EARS.
Great Variety in Their Form,
Size and Shape.
An Organ Which Receives Lit
tle Consideration.
Little notice is commonly taken of
the outward form of our organ of hear
ing, and even artists do not give it
much consideration as a rule, yet the
formation and shape of the car, says
a writer in the Pall Mall Gazette,
"will amply repay those who give it
close attention. Our modern portrait
painters seldom go into minute detail
over it. They seem content with a
general outline and a rough touch here
and there, showing the principal
points. The sculptors are more partic
ular, especially among tho antique; one
3oldom sees a good piece of statuary
without noticing that great care has
been tiiken to correctly model the ear,
and it was regarded as worthy of study.
A well-formed ear is a thing of great
beauty, and, like all other works of
the Creator, is exquisitely adapted and
designed for the function it performs,
that of collecting and concentrating the
undulation? of sound.
"Owing to the immense variety of
size and form in ears, it is somewhat
difficult to definitely classify them, but
they may be roughly divided into two
divisions, which aro easily identified—
Division 1., with curved, hanging lobe;
Division 11., with straight lobe.
"Besides tho peculiarities of shape,
the car may bo largo or small, protrud
ing or flat, and straight or sloping.
Some ears have pointed tops, while
others have straight. Small and thin
cars usually denoto delicacy and refine
ment, and abnormally largo, thick ears
are associated with a sensual and coarse
nature.
"Ears of the first division are by far
the most common, while not more than
one person in fifty possesses the straight
lobed ear of the second division. This
peculiar-shaped ear is often hereditary,
and can be traced back in some fami
lies for generations. People w.th mu
sical tastas generally have largo and
prominent ears, while the thin angular
ear is said to denoto bad temper and
cruelty. The ears of great philosophers
and statesmen have been notice I to bo
large and sloping. Mr. Gladstone's ear
has a curved hanging lobo, lies close to
his head, and lias a sloping position.
"Ears vary greatly in form and sizo,
and the peculiarities of shape they as
su ne sometimes give an index to the
character of tho individual. Women
have much bettor shaped ears than men.
They aro usually much smaller, and lie
closer to tho head. Some people pos
sess a singular muscular power over tho
ear, and can more tho ';|>por part with
will, but it is raroly mjt with. The
ear is worth studying from an anatom
ical point of view. Beginning with
the ouier fold or ridge, callod tho
helix, which forms the outline, tho ear
is composed of thin cartiligo and in
tegument. Tho next prominent ridge
is the nntihelix, which some people
have very largely developed, but in a
well-formed car projects very little be
yond the helix. Tho little knob that
projects from tho foot of tho antihelix
is called the antitragus, and the corre
sponding knob on the other side the
tragus. Tho deep well in the centre
of the ear is tho concha, and, last of
all, the fleshy part below is callod the
lobule. The concha, so called from its
shell-like form, plays the most impor
tant part in reflecting the vibrations
into tho inner ear; in fact, all these
projections and depressions are of im
portance to our hearing, and play their
own parts in conveying the undulations
of sound to the drum of tho ear.
"The Marquis of Salisbury's ear is
massive ami well proportioned, and has
also a sloping position. The ear of the
great Napoleon was rather small, well
formed, with curved lobe. As age in
crea us the ear becomes more angular
and marked. From our youth upward
the ear does not receivo much considera
tion. It is pinched to signify pleasure,
it is sometimes boxed to denote anger,
and even pierced or bored for purpose
of vain ornamentation. This very an
cient but barbarous custom of piercing
the ears, which now we are glad to ob
serve is considered unfashionable, has
spoiled and the shape of
thousands of ears through the perfora
tion of tin) loba for the purpose of
wearing earrings. It may well be hoped
this fashion will never bo revived."
Artificial Coffee.

extensive scale in Germany. It is made
from lins.'ed meal, roasted to a dark
