Th Hiitorio Pit That la Fanead Off From tha Stall. . In the orchestra of a London theater there are only eiulil or tea rows of Hulls, and immediutely ludillid tlieiu in the pit, which In walled off by a Imr rier or fence thut atretchea clear acron the theater. In the pit 'there are no Individual aeata merely rowa of long beuoliea mi which the people alt rather closely together. It Is, of course. Impossible to reserve eats in advance, and people who are going to the pit have to come early on the evening of the performance In or der to secure the best place. Hence In the rase of a popular piny a long queue of people may be seen at 7 o'clock stretching from the pit door all along the sidewalk, waiting for the houne to open. They keep their place very patiently In line, united by a com mon mood of pleasurable anticipation. One ninnuger awhile ago mmle the experiment of selling reserved seata In the pit at the usual price, but to thla the ilt people objected strenuously on the ground that they could seldom know In ndrance Just when they would And themselves possessed of that hap py combination of money and an even ing oft" which would permit of theater going and preferred to take their chances waiting In line when the for tunate opportunity arrived. The pit Is patronized by people of a very estimable class and Is often fre quented by well educated men and women who wish to save money and do not care to dress. Whereas a seat In t lie stalls costs half a guinea (or ap proximately $2.-ri0, a place In the pit costs only two and six (or approxi mately 0 cents), and the play can be seen very nearly as well. In the pit the same program that la sold In the stalls for sixpence Is sold for twopence, and the pit has a re freshment bar of Its own which Is cheaper than the main bar of the thea ter. Of course the real reason why there Is a pit In the London theater la that there has always been a pit. That In Itself Is sufficient for the British inlud, but It must be admitted that the system is on grounds of common sense an exceedingly gixid one. Bookman. HOUSE OF SURPRISES. Th Horn of Britiah Diplomacy, No. 10 Downing Street Why does the residence of the prime minister of the kingdom resemble the dwelling of a retired grocer of simple tastes? The reply to this Is forthcom ing. It does not. Jt only pretends to resemble the dwelling of a retired gro cer. No. 10 Downing street begins to reveal Itself as a surprise packet when you huve rung one of its three belN aud persuiidinl Its front door to open. Vou then discover yourself in an en- tranre hull whose mills, walls and gen eral slmbbiiieNg would be the instant niln of a Itloomsbury temperance hotel, and you perceive that you have unwittingly done an injustice to the retired grocer. Vou decide that no gro cer, at any rule no English grocer. would tolerate such a kennel. But when you have penetrated a lit tle further, and especially when you have mounted the first fllffbt of stairs. you will be rendy to remodel your views once again. Within thirty sec onds you will have lost your bearings. Within sixty you will admit that you are In a palace full of bewildering cor ridors and endless sumptuosity, with here and there a glimpse of gome Im mense and stately apartment. No. 10 Downing street liegius Just exactly where you might have expected it to finish. Ita ramiticiitions are innumer able, Ita geography un eulgma even to the most ancleut Janitor. From FU1U potts and Arnold's "The Statue." Th Ghoat of Clopton. A grewsome story of Cloptou Ilouse, Stratford-on-Avon (which Mrs. Gaa kell visited as a girl) Is told In Mrs Chadwick'8 book on the novelist Charlotte Clopton, who was supposed to have died of tlie plague, was burled "with fearful haste." She was discov-ercd-wheu the ancestral vault was opened to receive another victim of the plague leaning against the wal! in her grave clothes; she was. Indeed, dead, but lu her agonies of despair and hunger she had bitten a piece from her shoulder. "Of course she has walked ever since." as Mrs. Gas kcll says. Counter C(. Tpon beinj, called In the police court, charged with au assault upon a clerk at a aodn water fountain, the defend ant arose and said. "Your honor, 1 am guilty, but 1 plead a counter case." Whereupon the aforesaid clerk arose and replied: "Your honor, the counter didn't have anything to do with It. I walked around the counter before I struck Llm." Case and Comment. Quit Poetic "Tell me. Harry," said May Bright ley's admirer to her young brother, "who is this other fellow that's been calling on your sister?" "I don't know his name." replied Harry. "1 Just call him 'April show ers.'
