Birth of the Theatre. The theatre is the creation of the ancient Creeks. The drama, in the ti ue sense of the word, was born in Athens immediately after the great victory over liie Persians, B. C. 500- tSu. The famous Dionyslac Theatre at Athens was completed about li. 0. 340. Rome was never much on the theatre. In Home there was far too much real tragedy every day, so that the people had no occasion to mimic it on the stage. It was as late as B. C. 154 when the first permanent play house was erected in Koine by Cassl us. Even as late as B. C. 55 Pompey had all he could do to make the the atre popular in the Eternal City. Chinese Insults. The Chinese are curious folk. An educated Chinaman will take delight iu using in conversation with a West ern barbarian the adjective which is used only to qualify animals, though only his interpreter will discover the insult of which the person for whom it is intended remains supremely Igno rant. A China "boy" will enter your pres ence with his pigtail rolled round his head —a most intolerable rudeness — If he thinks the new arrival does not understand the Insult Intended.

NORMAN E. BRINK, Mercantile Appraiser. March 21,11)10 Quarrelsome Musical Minds. Something in the musical mind seems to be very primitive and quar relsome, inviting doubt as to the celes tial origin of the "heaven descended muse," and suggesting that it is a Juice of the basement and not ichor from the top stories of the brain. Par rots and mocking birds, when it comes to whistling and singing, are some success, and are both as spite ful and jealous as devils and mon keys. Anecdote from Real Life. "Forty years ago I started in life without a dollar." "Say on." "And now I have four hundred dol lars in the bank, and a job lot of fur niture worth as much more." Maybe Scalp Exercise. Perhaps beef handlers give their scalp exercise by carrying meat to some extent upon their heads—and such use of the scalp would seem to prevent badness by strengthening the scalp and hair. Use cf Naphtha. Naphtha is an Inflammable liquid which exudes from the soil in certain parts of Persia. Subsequently tho I use of the term spread to include some volatile oils found in Europe j and even America. The product of the oil fields of Southern Russia ts , usually called naphtha, although it dif fers in no way from the ordinary j grades of petroleum. Naphtha prop- i erly includes the lighter oils which pass ofT first in the distillation of petroleum, the gravities ranging from 90 to 62 degrees Heaume. Pennsyl vania crude oil contains from 8 to 20 per cent, of naphtha. In the refining of such naphtha several products are obtained by fractional distillation. Those which pass off first—namely, rhigolene and cymogene—are gases at ordinary temperatures and are sel dom saved. The next product Is known as gasoline, a material largely used in machines and for Illuminating purposes. After this comes stove naphtha and gas naphtha, the latter being the base of much of the illumi nating gas now made. Petroleum naphtha is often treated with chemi cals to deodorize '■. Naphtha may also he made in the distillation of wood and coal tar. Sheriff's Sale. I »y virtue of a writ of I'M.

Ho carries a pig Instead of driving him. He whitens Instead of blackens his shoes. His favorite present to a parent is a coffln. He says sixty-four instead of four sixths. He keeps out of step in walking with others. He shakes his own hands instead ' of his friends. . He puts on his hat In salutation when he takes it off. . He rides with his heels instead of his toes in the stirrups. He deems It polite to nsk a casual caller's age and income. His long nails are not a sign of dirtiness but respectability. His visiting card is eight and some times thirty inches long. He often throws away the fruit of the melon and eats the seed. His merits often bring a title not to himself but to his ancestors. His women folk are often seen In $ trousers accompanied by men iu gowns. A Chinaman's given name comes after, not before, "his honored family name." His compass points south and ho speaks of westnorth instead of north west. He does not consider it clumsy, but courteous, to take both hands to offer a cup of tea. Sheriff's Sale.
