In an article called “Acting—A Part Time Job” in the American Magazine Walter Prichard Eaton says: “Suppose we say that a play is re hearsed on an average of three weeks. (Some few are, unfortunately for art, rehearsed less, some a good bit more.) Now, bear in mind the fact, which is pretty well established by figures, that at present two out of every three the- atrical productions in America fail. That means the ordinary actor or ac- tress, out of three attempts to land a salary paying job, works at least nine weeks on half pey or less. When you further deduct the usual summer va- cation time of, say, six weeks and add job, you reach the rather ‘astonishing conclusion that the average actor may be is only a part time worker. H ‘nmunificent’ salary doesn’t look so mu- nificent when figured on this basis.” Voracity of Pike. foyle, they were attracted by splashing on the surface of the water close to a clump of reeds near the shore.

For instance, the best watch oil, it appears, cannot be ob-. tained today because the ‘secret proc- ess of mixing it perished with the in- ventor. It i8 said that the last<quart of {i's famous fluid was so'd for $200. and that was thirty-five years ago. Since tlien every effort has been made to analyze the product in an attempt to renroduce the oil, but without suc- cess. The man who made it and who alone kuew iis composition died,, and, it further appears, not even his name or the place of his burial is known. He never revealed to any one the details of his process, and it was not until after his death that the real value of the oil was appreciated.—Los Angeles Times. The Eskimo Skin Canoe. 2 The kayak, or skin canoe, of the Bs- kimo was in use on the coast of north- ern Russia two or three centuries ago, according to Dr. MacRitchie, F. 8B. A. (Scot). Evidence of this is obtained from statements made by Burrough in 1556 and from the chronicles of a Dan- ish expedition to Vaigatz in 1653. It was further shown that three kayaks were captured off the northern shores of Scotland about the end of the sev- enteenth century. One of these is still preserved in the museum of Marischal college, Aberdeen. An important fact is the oceasional presence of a kayay- using race of Finns or Finnmen in the Orkney islands during the last twenty years of the seventeenth cen- tury, as testified to by three writers of that period.—Toronto Mail and Em- pire. To-kyo. It is remarkable how many persons, some of whom may lay claim to edu- cation and familiarity with Japan, per- sist in misspelling the name of Japan's capital. ©f course if government offi- cials and western diplomats in Japan insist on spellilng it To-Li-o, western people, ignorant of the Japanese lan- guage, cannot be blamed for pronounc- ing it in three syllables (To-kee-yo). much to the amused disgust of the Jap- anese. The Japanese ideographs are only two and are best represented by the two romaji syllables To-kyo, pro- nounced with a very slight emphasis ! on the first syllable.—Japan Magazine. Her Dear Husband. “Why,” exclaimed a newly married woman to a bunch of friends, “for three months after our marriage my dear husband made me bake hot bis- cuits for him every meal.” “And yet your husband is a strong, healthy looking felllow,” answered her friend in astonishment. “Doctors say that such a diet is terrible, and”’— “Oh, yes, this husband is healthy! 1 was referring to my first husband.”’— Cleveland Plalin Dealer.
