"It I at range the trick which our brain will sometime play UN." said lr. Miicphersoii. "I remember once seeing a ghost myself, and 1 can tell you that the seiimtloii I a very curlou one.

Macpherson answered In hi peculiar ly quiet way: "No, it wa myself. The experience of seeing one' own ghost I Hot altogether unusual, I believe." ! "Now, I do not think your experience wa half ao remarkable n one of . mine," said Cllhcrt I lane, the well known actor and ma linger of the How nrd Theater, who happened lo be there that night. I Mine I not a member of the Thirty nine, but had come with Macpherson. Most of the brain special ist's friend are In the profession, a fact which I, perhaps, due lo Hie year which he himself spent on the stage a a young man. "My story begin prosaically." said the actor, when we begged lo hear ll. "1 lost the latchkey with which 1 let myself Into the theater, and took some body else' to the locksmith'N lo have n duplicate made. I agreed to call for It the following morning a I wa going tip to town for rehearsal.

The actor paused to trike a match and relight hi ehenxH, which he had allowed to go out. and we nit watched him In silence, wondering what wa coming. Macphcrxon only had the air of a man who had heard the aiory be fore. "I had become lather Interested In my paper," Mane went on. when the clgai wa alight again, "and did not notice my companion talking until one of Iheiu started telling an anecdote. Then It gradually dawned upon me that the story he wa telling wa one that I considered my own particular properly, and when I listened It struck me that the story was being told, not only In my exact word, but also In my own voice. "The story and the voice ai.it tied mc, but It isdittlcult to describe my feeling when I put down my paper to glance at the narrator " "It w.i yourself?" ask.M Major Hen tiett cxcliislH a the actor vauod. and I'ane nodded.

An Apple Problem. Once upon u time there were two old men who ant In the market early every morning and sold apples. Kneh one had thirty upplea, nnd one of the old men Kohl two for a cent, and the other old man sold three for a cent. In that way the Ilrst old man got llfteeti cent for his basket of tipples, w Idle the second old man received ten cents; mi that together they made twenty-live cent each day. Itnt one day the old tipple man w ho nohl three for n rent wa too sick to go to the market, and he lisked hi neighbor to take hi tip ple nud sell them for him. Thl the other old man very kindly consented to do. nud when he got to the market Willi tlie two basket of apples, be said to himself, "I will put nil the npptes Into one basket, for It will be easier than pi. king the ut of two baskets." So he put Ihe sl.xtv ntmlea Into one basket, and he said to himself, "Now, If sell two apple for one cent, and mv old friend sells three for one cent, that Is the same thing as selling live apples for two cent. Therefore I will sell live for two cents."

Never; neither in China nor In America, miles they have become ho fur denationalized a to be considered a foreign graft on the Western stalk, which occiirn not once In u thousand ense. There Is therefore no dance upon the Chinese stage. In all their pcrfonuiiniv, from beginning to end, there Is nowhere any sort of a dance, from the likeness of the minuet of u century ugo to the latest ballet Htep of to-day. The Chinese hxik upon such a thing us entirely beneath the dignity of n Chinaman, nnd such a performance would be received with disgust and hisses. A well knovvu New Y'ork daily news paper recently made Itself ridiculous, and laml.-d It own Ignorance tu Hu skies, by referring with beautiful serenity to the wickedness of the vaudeville performance In the Chinese theater. A vaudeville pcrfoi'iiiiim'e in u Chinese theater? There Is no such thing. F.ven more than that: to n Chliianuin It would hp un Inxupportabli) scandal that women should appear up on the stage a freely a they do In America nud F.urope. Such a thing never was known either In China or In the Chinese theaters of America. A woman appears only when her hus band or father Is a inemlier of the coin puny, nnd then in the most liislgnlilcant part, nnd her Identity Is suppressed rather than advertised. Women' part In ninety-nine cases out of n hun dred are taken by men. and these are enacted with a modesty and humility whleli we would fain see copied by the actresses of our stage to day, aye, even by some of our women them selves. Could a little of the Chinese dignity, reticence, and womanly moil esty Ih- poured Into America blixid. It would be a good thing for the American people, nnd an admirable sped lie for the A rleiin "girl of the period." There Is therefore no comparison to be made, front a moral standixilnt, be tween the Chinese stage and the vile, lmiuoib-st, nnd frequently obscene per formances which thewhite people of the flowery put upon their board.
