A FAMOUS Old Drury Lane Has , Outlived Many Vicissitudes. A PHENIX AMONG THEATERS. London's Homo of Pantomime Hat Been the Scene of Many Conflagra tions Attack Upon Royalty Within Ita Walla The "Rejected Addreatea." Ou tlie night of Feb. 24, 1309, as the bouse of commons was engaged upon I rather important debate, sundry of the members observed through the windows a faint red glow which even tually became so alarming In its in tensity as to interfere with the order ly course of the discussion. It was not long, before the news ran round the benches that Drury Lnne theater' wus alight, and so great was the gen eral concern at whnt was considered almost a natlonul disaster that a mo tion was made to adjourn the sitting. Sheridan, however, as Moore tells us in his life of the great orator, Imme diately expressed the hope with an air of detachment tlint did him the greatest credit, considering bis posi tion as principal shareholder in tbe theater that "whatever might be the extent of the present calamity It would not Interfere with the public business pf the country." That his courage was not daunted by so serious a personal disaster was proved by the fact that he reopened a week later nt the Ly ceum. ' ' The destruction of "The Lane" the third building since its foundation in " 1663 was one of seven familiar dis asters to London theaters in twenty years; but, whatever else hnppeued. Drury Lane must be rebuilt. Nor was the decision on the part of the pro prietors unbusinesslike in the least degree, for Horace Walpole, under the date of 1751, tells us bow on the day appointed for the nationalization bill "the house of commons adjourned to attend at Drury Lane, where 'Othello' was acted by a Mr. Debanal and his family. 1 Drury Lane has passed through many vicissitudes In the course of its exist ence. The first building was Very un favorably described by Pepys, who writes of the discomfort caused by rain that found its way through the roof and drenched the occupants of the pit and also tbe bad acoustic qual ities of the place. Fire put an end to these inconveniences in 1072. The sec ond theater, which was designed by Wren and opened in 1674, had a iiuch longer life, but was on two occasions the scene of attempts upon tbe royal family. In 1716 Freeman tried to shoot the Prince of Wales, who afterward became King George II., and In 1800 f George III. was the victim of a similar unsuccessful attack at the hands of a lunatic. .. It was this same building .which, as Walpole relates in one of his letters, was the scene of a lively dis turbance in 1744, when an attempt was made to introduce pantomime for the first time. So great has been the chanse of popular sentiment on this point since that far off date that toiy winter in London without pantomime at Drury Lone Is almost incredible., The third building, which was open ed In 1704, came to an untimely end, as we have seen, In 1809, and the inau guration of Its 'successor three years later was marked by an event of con siderable literary importance. The managers pf the (heater, being desir ous of giving their new venture a good sendoff, invited the public to BUbmlt to competition suitable prologues, the prize poem to have the honor of being publicly recited from tbe stage upon the day of opening. A host of writers, including many of the best known names in contemporary literature, re sponded to the Invitation, and ttils fact fortunately suggested to two brothers, James and Horace Smith, who were beginning to acquire a repu tation In the world of letters, the no .tlofi of publishing anonymously a col lection of prologues parodying the styles of various living writers of re pute. As it .was necessary that the little volume should be Issued in time for the opening of the theater, the au thors were compelled to complete their task In six weeks, but it is doubtful .whether the quality of tbe work suf fered much on this account. Indeed, in the preface to the eighteenth edition. published in 1833, it is suggested that the parodies gained rather than lost in were, at a white heat The success of "The Bejected Ad dresses" was Immediate and lasting. iThe two brothers found that they bad Heaped Into fame at a bound, and tbe famous authors whom they had so suc cessfully held up to kindly ridicule expressed their astonishment at the accuracy with which their peculiari ties of style and expression had been reproduced. It was a notable achieve ment Byron, ' whose prologue won Itbe prize and was delivered In due tconrse on the Drury Lane stage, writ ing to Murray, expressed his apprecia tion of the little volume that had made such a stir In the world and In r sec ond letter told him that he liked It "better and better." Jeffrey In 1843 wrote that he took "The Rejected Ad dresses" to be the very best imita tions (and often of difficult originals) that ever were made. Bnt perhaps the comment which pleased the authors the most was that of a Lincolnshire clergyman (quoted In the preface of 1833) to the effect that he did not see 'why they ehonld have been rejected. Indeed, he thought some of them very good. The reverend, gentleman dls iplayed "a plentiful lack" of humor In 'his pronouncement, but there will be few even today to quarrel with his Judgment London Globe. : METHODICAL BURGLARS. The Cnea John's Wife Waa Sura 8he Heard Every Niaht.. There hud beeu a number of bur glaries In a certain suburban neighbor hood, and the conversation ut a small 'whist party turned nuturally enough on burglars. Everybody hud expressed an opinion 'except a quiet, elderly gen tleman. "Doesn't it make you nervous." some body asked him. "to think every ulght when you go to bed that you may be burglarized before morning?" . "Ob,' we don't mind them." suld tbe elderly gentlemaD cheerfully, with a glance across the room ut bis wife.' "We're too well us,ed to them, aren't we, Mary?" "John." said bis wife warningly. "don't be silly." "Silly I" echoed be and turned to the others. "Now, that's her modesty. Those burglars have been trying to go through our bouse every night for two weeks; ulways get In through the dining room window too. But Mary hears them. Yes. sir, no sooner do they get through the window than Mary hears 'em and wakes me up. Fortunately for us, Mary Is a very light sleeper." S j "But It must be awful to wakp up like that!" exclaimed one of tbe lis teners. . "Rather disturbing tbe flrst night," continued tbe speaker, "but not -so bad after one gets used to it. All I have to do, you know. Is to get up and lock the bedroom dour, uud then the burglars go right back out of tbe din ing room window. Very methodical they are, too," added tbe elderly gen tleman thoughtfully, "for they ulwuys lock the window after them." Youth's Companion. THE GIRAFFE. Africa's 8acond Story Worker With the Long Distance Neck. The giraffe Is the second Btory work er of tbe animal kingdom. It Is a merger of the zebra nd tbe camel and is also a distant relative of the palm tree. Tbe giraffe consists of eight feet of neck equipped with a body at one end and a head at tbe otber. In tbe matter of neck it has all the rest of the animal kingdom beaten by a length. Tbe giraffe's mouth Is located so far from its stomucb that It has to eat today to appease tomorrow's ap petite. Many a giraffe has starved to death while the first meal it had eaten for two weeks was slowly traveling Its transcontinental esophagus. The1 giraffe looks as if it had started I out to be a zebra, but. having reached j the shoulders, bad kept on going. It is very dnrk in color, marked by yellow I Ish brown stripes in a handsome lin oleum pattern. It lives on tree tops. eagles' nests and rainbows. During the Boer war the British army had some difficulty with giraffes, which formed a great liking for war balloons and frequently nibbled them during their flight In order to inhale tbe gns. Why does the giraffe have a long distance neck? Persons given to the ' use of common sense wll realize that Africa Is rich in Insect life as well as animal life and that all African ani mals carry Innumerable parasites on their bides. The giraffe's head Is so far from Us body that a long neck is absolutely necessary In order that he , may reach down and grab off a tick from his .fetlock when necessary. " Even a -child could see this. Collier's ; Weekly ' Extracting Wood Oil. , ' Chinese wood oil Is obtained from j the nut of the wood oil tree by press ing or extracting. The color of the oil varies with the method of extraction. t In China It is usunlly heated strongly ' and is consequently very thick and , black. Wood oil forms a very durable ' lacquer for wood, for surpassing boiled linseed oil in' hardness and perma nence. Tbe oil possesses tbe peculiar ity of drying more quickly in damp than In dry weatber. Tbe residue of the nuts left after (he removal of the oil is a good fertilizer, which possess , es the valuable property of destroying Insects which feed on the roots of 1 plants. Scientific American. Scottish Miner's Wit. An amusing comment was made by a miner at an ambulance lecture in ElpulDBtone, East Lothian. The lec turer bad stated that if suffocation from choking waa likely to ensue the simplest remedy to give relief till med ical aid arrived was to take a Sne pointed penknife and make a small In clslon in the throat One of the miners then shouted: "Ye dlnna ken Elpbin s tone folks. If I was to try that the morn here's what wad happen: If that man died his folk wad bae me prose cuted for murder, and If he got better he himself wad be the flrst to prose cute me for cutting his throat" Dun dee Advertiser. -The British Museum. ' In the early days of the British mu seum, a century or more ago, the place was open for only six hours dally on five days a week during the summer and four hours dally during the rest of the year. Nobody could remain In the building for more than two consecu tive hours, and the number admissible at one time was strictly limited to fifteen.

Away off In the strange island of New Guinea It Is leap -year all the time In one Important sense, for out there all the proposals of marriage are made by the women, it Is consid ered beneath the dignity of the male inhabitants of New Guinea to even notice a woman, and consequently the women perforce must notice tbe men and must start any Idea of weddings, etc. So when the island belle of New Guinea becomes in love she promptly semis a piece of string to the sister of the lucky man. If be has no sister she sends it to his mother or to some female relative this because the man and his male relatives are assumed to be above taking any Bteps toward acquiring a wife. Then the sister says to tbe man in volved: "Brother, I have news. So-and-so is In love with you." If In clined to matrimony the' man makes an engagement to meet the enamored lady. When they meet It Is alone, one' they either decide to wed or drop the entire proposition nt once.

Though the women propose the wed dings In New Guinea, the condition of the wife Is miserable and unjust in tbe extreme. The girl is merely the property and slave of the husband.'

When Florence Nightingale came. In stantly a new Intelligence, . Instinct with pity, aflame with energy, fertile with womanly invention, swept through the Scutari hospital. Clumsy mole de vices were dismissed, almost with a gesture, into space. Dirt became a crime, fresh air and clean linen, sweet food and soft hands a piety. A great kitchen was organized which provided well cooked food for a thousand men. Wushhw was a lost art in the hospital, but this band of women created, as with a breath, a great laundry, and a strange cleanliness srept along the wallsand the beds of the hospital. In theta warfare with disease and pain these women showed a resolution as high us the men of their race showed against the gray coated battailous of lukerman or In the frozen tresches be fore Sebastopol. Muddle headed mole routine was swept ruthlessly aside. If the commissariat failed to supply requisites, Florence Nightingale, who bad great funds nt her disposal, in stantly provided them herself, nnd the heavy footed officials found the swift feet of these women outrunning them In every path of help and.pity. Only one flash of anger Is reported to hove broken the-serene caUn which served as a mask for the stecl-llke and reso lute will of Florence Nightingale. Some stores hud arrived from Eng land; sick men were languishing for them. But routine required that they1 should be Inspected by a board before being issued, and the board, moving with heavy footed slowness, had not completed Its work when night fell.. "The stores were, therefore, with offi cial phlegm, locked up and their use denied to he sick. Between tbe needs of hundreds of sick men and tbe com fort they required was the locked door, the symbol of red tnpe. Florence Nightingale called a couple of order lles, walked to the door and quietly ordered them to burst It open and the stores to be distributed ! Cornhlll Mag azine. Dolly Madison.

It Is not easy to trace the variety stage back to Its earliest beginnings, for tbe scent begins to grow faint In antebellum days, and tbe trull loses Itself beyond recall In the early for ties, about whlcb period we encounter traces of what may be called the "Bill Valentine Myth." This I will relate as It was Imparted to me by Mr. Vul entlne himself In tbe small Coney Is land pavilion that be conducted dur ing bis later years. Mr. Valentine's story Is that many years before the civil war. probably In the early forties, be opened a small place of amusement somewhere on tin east side of New York city. (It must have been small Indeed, for there Is no record of It In T. Alston Brown's "History of the New York SttKP."i Uncertain what to call bis place of en tertainment, he applied to a friend for a fitting name. "What sort of on entertainment are you going to give?" said the friend. "Well, I'm going to give a variety of things," said Mr. Valentine. "Then why not call It a variety show?" suggested the other. And thereupon, according to this myth, tbe term "vurlety show" came into use. James L. Ford In McClure's Magazine. , Locating Her Car.
