A PARADOX OF ACTING.
Why not, indeed?
When the Royal Baking Powder makes
finer and more, wholesome food at a less cost,
which every housekeeper familiar with it will
affirm, why not discard altogether the old
fashioned methods of soda and sour milk, or
home-made mixture of cream of tartar and
soda, or the cheaper and inferior baking pow
ders, and use it exclusively ?

John J. Kelly vs. People's Bank et al. riaint-
iff began this suit by seising a lottery ticket,
one-twentieth ot a whole ticket, which bad won
$15,000 and bad been forwarded to the People's
Bank for collection, snd in which he claimed
one-fourth interest as owner. By consent the
ticket was cashed, and the unclaimed three-
quarters were withdrawn, leaving the contested
one-quarter, which was also claimed by John
W. Fenlow, under control of the court.
The parties live in St. Louis, and have been
quite on fortunate. In 1891 Fenlow, Kelly, Xorle-
nian, O'Keefe and Connors formed s quasi club,
snd on three or four occasions purchased Ave
fractions of lottery tickets, said fractions cost
ing 91 each, and each member contributing his
proportion of the price was equally interested
In the winnings. Fenlow generally was charged
with purchasing the tickets, snd held them
until the drawing.
The members usually paid their contributions
before the drawings, and Fenlow paid the lot

In April, 1892, they invested (Connors had
dropped out). All paid except Kelly, who had
agreed to (My his dollar on the day preceding

There was no further intercourse between the
members of the club until after ttie drswina- ou
Tuesday, April 12, when it was learned that one
of the four tickets had won 115,000. The ticket
have been paid for by Fenlow, and the question
for the court to decide is whether Fenlow paid
for account of Keily f 1, or whether it was lor
nis own account..
The day alter the drawing Kelly tendered his
dollar, but was told that he was " too late " and
that he was " not in it."
The court concludes thst Fenlow gave Kelly
to understand that he (Fenlow) would see that
Kelly's interest iu the ticket would be psid for.
It is therefore ordered, adjudged snd decreed
that there be Judgement in favor of John J.
Kelly and against John V. Fenlow, decreeing
Kelly to have been the owner oi an undivided
one fourth interest in the lottery ticket, and
that plaintiff receive and collect 13,730, repre

A Word for the Earthworm.
The earthworm is an animal which has
not received that attention from xoologista
which it deserves, in spite of the fact that
its habits and structure formed the last of
that magnificent series of volumes with
which Darwin enriched scientific literature.
And ft has not only been neglected by nat
uralists, but has incurred the bitterenmitv
of gardeners and farmers. It is true that
the gardener has some reason for his dis
like when he sees his carefully rolled walks
and smooth lawns rendered unsightly by
the heaps of earth with which the worm
diligently covers them.
But the farmer baa do business to com
plain, for not only do earthworms form a
large part of the food of many birds, which
would, perhaps. In their absence direct
their attention more closely to his crops
and fruit trees, bat they are of positive ad
vantage in loosening the soil, and so malt
ing passages for the rain to trickle down to
the lowest roots.
More than a hundred rears airo Gilbert
White devoted one of bis letters to the sub
ject of earthworms, and defended them
from the accusation of uselessneaa and in
jnrionsnexs in the economy of nature, re
marking further, and so to a certain ex
tent anticipating Darwin, that they are
often responsible for the formation of new
soils. K. E. Beddard, M. A., in Chambers'
Journal.
Fishes Thst Carry Batteries.
The "torpedo" or "cramp fish" has two
complete electric batteries on either side of
Its head, constructed after the most ap
proved scientific principles. Each of them
consists of about 470 eel Is in the shape of
six sided tubes placed side by side. The
walla or these cells are lined with nerve
tissue and each one is tilled with a clear,
trembling Jelly. Precisely how many volts
this duplex galvanic apparatus is capable
of administering bas never been deter
mined, but frequent experience has shown
the power to be sufficient to knock down
and temporarily paralyze a man.
Natives in Central America are said to
make a practice of driving wild horses into
water where cramp fish are in order that
the latter may stun the- frightened quad
rupeds and make them easy to caotnre. So
that a shock shall be administered, the ob
ject must be brought into contact at two
points with the torpedo, thus comnletius
the electric circuit.
Scientific men regard tbis as one of the
most Interesting of natural phenomena.
Two other kinda of animals possess gal
vanic batteries a catfish and an eel. The
two latter have the storage cells situated
in tbelr tails. In all three cases the elec
tricity is merely transformed nervous en

"The paradox of acting P" said the mana
ger, thoughtfully, "1 should aay I'd seen
something of what you'd call the paradox
of acting. Yes, I should say I had. If it's
come under my observation once it's come
under it huudred times, and In one ease
look here, wbeu did you last see 'A
Dead Mashf
"Why. A Dead Mash' baa been the
greatest success I ever handled, and I'm
only taking it off the road this year be
cause. See here, perhaps the name of
Miss Dotty Devoe, tbe leading lady, has
never been brought to your attention? If
you've beard of Miss Devoe you have heard
of her aa a charming aoubrette, vivacious,
plquaut and orAinal, In fact the most tal
ented actress now on the tarce-oomedy
boards. Exactly.
"About a year before 'A Dead Mash' was
In rehearsal, tbe play waa in my hands
waiting for a star. There waa nobody 1
knew I cared about giving It to. You
recollect the time. A young girl falls in
love with s mummy lu the museum and
coaxes him to life. Now, the responsibil
ity of finding the right woman for it
weighed on me.
A STAR DISCOVERED.
"One day I learned that a little girl,
name and professional antecedents un
kuown to fame, bad caught tbe town in
Boston iu a topical act lu a rank comic
opera. I went on to see her. House
crowded, company guys, opera Inexpressi
ble! But the little girll It was just the
most per-fect-Iy irresistible thing you ever
imagined. She had a topical soug, 'Teach
ing the Baby to Talk' the one bright
thing in the opera and by a stroke of
genius they gave her a parrot as well as a
baby.
"You understand the idea. The parrot
chipped in with the things she waa trying
to teach the baby, and the effect was out
of sight. Of course it didu't take me a mo
ment to see that, though the parrot waa
lire enough, it waa one of tbe dumb breed,
and that the speaking waa done from the
Hies. But it was billed as a trained bird,
and the audience took it all iu and was in
ecstasies.
. ; "I made np my mind on the spot 1 bad
found my star, and before I left town Miss
Dotty Devoe had engaged with me for the
ensuing season, aud the paragraphs were
being sent round to tbe papers. I filled up
my company for 'A Dead Mash, fixed
August for rehearsals and arranged
meet Miss McPherson real name and
her aunt a week or two beforehand, so aa
to get things quietly in shape between us.
GA1NI.N0 A POINT.
"Mrdearsir.such was the personal charm
and ingenuousness of the young lady that
it took me and tbe author a week to dis
cover that we had run into tbe deadest
wall of our lives, and that she couldn't act
at all not a little bit! She was simply In
competent.
"If a man could go over Niagara falls
and retain consciousness be would know
howl felt. I talked to little Dotty as
kindly as I could and tried to give her an
Idea or two, but it waa no use. She was
heartbroken there it stopped.
"finally, while I waa telegraphing all
over the country to try to rake np another
star, I pressed her again about tbe topical
song, and she whimpered out that she liked
parrots and bad always just loved babies.
and she didn t like mummies, and that w
all there was to it.
"I seemed to get hold of an idea here,
but for the life of me 1 couldn't tell what
it was.
"There was, say, ten days before rehear
sals need begin. In those ten days don't
laugh, for 1 was serious I made as good
love to that girl aa 1 knew how. There
was no reason I shouldn't, except age; and
there was good reason I ahould, when you
looked at her. I will merely say that I'm
younger than some other old bachelors.
and that at the end of tea days she was
ready to marry me.
" 'Now,' said I, my dear, I want you to
think of this play just once more. If you
can love me you can love a mummy,
guess.'
" 'John,' she said, 'you must be crazy.'
" 'My love,' said 1, '1 mean it. You are
to go on the stage this afternoon for re
bearsal, you are to make np your mind
that that mummy is me, and you are to act
to it. And if you don't. I vow I won't
marry you.'

a little fury, and then sat down on It cry
ing as if ber heart would break.
"I threw np my hands. I was shaking
witn excitement so that 1 could hardly
speak. I grabbed Edwards by tbe collar
and jammed tbe stage copy of the play into
his hand. 'Hankl' I gasped, 'take it take
it home with you, pull the whole thing to
pieces and rewrite it up to this scene.
Bring It back in tbe morning if you have
to write your ears off.' Then I pushed
half a dozen of the company out of the
way, dropped down by Dotty on the
mummy and laughed until tbe little Tar
tar turned round and fait me, air, slapped
me soundly In tbe face, and I don't blame

"And now, sir, If you will go to see 'A
Dead Mash' tbe next time it Is played here,
and take particular notice of the scene In
which Miss Devoe kicks tbe mummy in
contempt, you will understand why 1
claim to understand the paradox of act
ing." "It seems to me that method of educa
tion was a little unfair to Miss Devoe," I
suggested soberly.
Tbe manager looked at me a moment,
and then said, quizzically: "Perhaps it
was, because it resulted in her having to
marry me. Come up and see us some day,
and you'll find she's got a parrot. She's

How Tennysoo Decided a Matter.
Here is Tennyson's own account to Mr.
James Knowles, editor of The Nine
teenth Century, of bow he was offered
and accepted the laureateship: "Tbe
night before 1 was asked to take the
laureateship, which was offered to me
through Prince Albert's liking for my
'In Memoriam,' I dreamed he came to
me and kissed me on the cheek. I said
in my dream, 'Very kind, but very Ger
man.' In the. morning the letter about
the laoreateship was brought to me and
laid upon my bed. I thought about it
through the day, but could not make up
my mind whether to take it or refuse it,
and at the last I wrote two letters, one
accepting and one declining, and threw
them on the table and settled to decide
which X would send after my dinner and
bottle of port." .

iTivute Johnson was one or the smart
est men in tho curta, aud furthermore
lie was mi excellent grooui d almost
a "cordon bleu." Ho bad one and fail
lug. lie was a thief. His peculations
had, however, bepti generally small, and
he had camped sorious punishment. One
night a large store in the town was bro
ken into and a considerable amount of
money stolen. It was conclusively
proved that Johnson wns the thief, and
he was sent to jail. When the regiment
waa leaving the colony, Johnson, with
some other soldier prisoners, waa to bo
handed over according to custom. When,
however, Ins cell wns visited, it wns
empty, and there was not a sign of
Johnson anywhere.
A search was made In every direction
and at last a prisoner pointed to a cocoa-
nut tree which grow in the middle of
the prison yard, and there comfortably
seated among the tuft of leaves was
Johnson, Tho warden at first tried to
get the man down by quiet jH'rsuasion,
then ho threatened, then stormed nnd
sworo. Johnson laughed contentedly at
every mood, but did not move, Tho fact
was reported to the colonial secretary,
who recommended that tho fire engine
1)6 called out anil the man washed down.
The chief of tho tire department hardly
thought it was consonant with his dig
nity to wash a prisoner out of a cocoa-
out tree and reported that there was not
pressure of water enough to get a streuui
to tho top of the tree. This was prolia
bly true, for tho tree was a tall one.
Tho case was again referred to tho co
lonial secretary, who took it before the
governor. His excellency was having
luncheon with some of the departing
oflicers and their friends and waa having
a good time. He was vexed that at such
time he should be troubled with oflicial
work, as hastily glancing over tho docu
ment he added the following instruc
tions: "Cut the fellow dowa. I mean
the tree."
This could only be done by tho engi
neering department, so orderlies were
sent ont to find the chief engineer.
Whilo all this was going on, timo was
slipping away. Almost all the troops
were onboard the troopship, aud asthes
vessels wait for no one tho escort which
had been sent to bring Johnson down to
the ship had to hurry off, not to l late
Itself. Johnson bellowed a farewell, aud
despite the strong language of the ward
en still laughed and did not move. Be
fore the engineer department had come
to a conclusion as to how to cut down
the tree and lower it gradually, tho
troopship hud np anchor and was steam
ing out of the harbor.
Then Johnson climbed down the tree
and finished his sentence on tho island,
to which he had taken a fancy. His con
viction had carried with it his "discharge
with ignominy." He settled in the inland
and was soon in easy circumstances. He
had undoubtedly hidden his stolen prop
erty, and after his release dng it np and
started iu business. When Johnson was
last seen, he was flourishing and had a
large cocoanut grove around his cottage.

age she shall become familiar with tho
Bible, so that when she was obliged to
leave home to be cone five months she
told Ruth she would brinjr her home a
ninff if she would say a Bible verse every
night before Bhe went to bed. Ruth
promised that she would. Mamma came
home at the end of the five months. Be
fore presenting the innlT she said: "How
antral me verses, ttutur "I Mini one
every night, mamma." "That's mam
ma's nice girl. Von mnst have learned
. Rood many in five months, dear."
Why, I always said the very same one."

Houses will soon be all top. Men will
go np stairs to play billiards when they
will not go down. Up stairs there is
greater freedom of conversation. Fath
ers have discovered that If there is a well
equipped billiard room near thcroof.with
good air, an unrestricted outlook, ade
quate privacy and satisfactory means of
refreshment, their sons, after business
hours, are much more apt to come home
