It hi DeeM-Ceeit Affair ma Ieha the
. Oorluee of Tore.
The other night a man went to the
theater who had not been for years,
and he couldn't make it out, say Pear
son's Weekly. First of all he missed
the simple village youth, the virtuous
hero who was wont to take the first
prize at the horticultural society, or
else win the guerdon at quoits, or some
thine or other in the rustic revel. Hut
worst of all he missed the dear old
fashioned villain, and although this
play had a tremendous villain in it out
friend waa not impressed with him a
bit. He sighs thus:
"I came away again, sadly disap
pointed. The play was not what ley
pected. I shall go no more to the play
house. The palmy days of the dram
are over. The theater ha fallen into
the sear and yellow fifth act, and there
is no health in itl The theater has f o
lowed the path of literature and the
good old things are changed. I beheld
a lot of swell people in evening dress
on the stage. They spoke quietly to
one another, very much aa people do off
the stage, and in very much the same
sort of language. This is not what I
want when I go to the theater.
"What is the theatrical villain of to
day? Is he a real, good, old-fashioned
ruffian? Does he ever drag a helpless
maiden from the domiciliary roof of
her ancestors by the hair? No, sir.
Does he ever say to the hero: Say on
word and thou art food for the wolves?
Does he ever grab the heroine by the
wrist, drag her down the stage in
three strides, slam her down in a big
chair, bend over her and whisper
fiendishly: "S death, maiden, but, by
my soul, I love theel Thou ahalt be
mine! Yield or by heaven I'll'
"That's all I know of that speech,
because 'By heaven I'll' is the cue for
ihe maiden to spring up, and, throw
ng the villain half way across the
itaget to say: 'Unhand me, ruffian!
Vnd know,' that rather than mate with
rach as thou, I'd cast myself from
ponder battlement into the foaming
flood beneath!'
"And does the villian then aay: 'Now;
by heavens, I like thy spirit! Move)
thee all the more for it? , , -
"And does the maiden sayi "Merciful
powers, protect me?
"And does the door open and ini
hero rush in, armed with (rood, bluh
broadsword? . And then do he and the
villain fence up and down the stage,
sizes, eights, shoulder blows, cut and)
thrust? Oh, no. These things have
given way to swallow-tailed eoats and
high collars, and the villain is now aa
big a swell aa any fellow in the show.
Oh, for the good old palmy days of the
drama, when the broadsword ruled
and there was fore! The , modern
drama is too much like ice cream after
a heavy dinner cold and aoeetiafy

' CRUELTY IN : GREENLAND.
Bartarow Featare There of the Marrtag
Csusmii
For wanton cruelty in the capture of
a bride we must go to Greenland.
There we find something more than
simulated violence in the method of
capture and the means by which the
girl is retained. Dr. Nansen, in his ac
count of his journey ."Across Green
land," says that on the west coast mar
riage nowadays roughly follows the
lines of marriage in Europe, but on the
east coast old customs prevail. A man
having made up his mind to take to
himself a wife, goes to the tent of a
family, one of whose girl members
meets his views, catches her by the
hair or in some other equally , rude
way, and drags her forth to his home.
He there presents her with a . bucket or
some useful domestic utensil, and the
ceremony is complete. r
According to Baron Nordenskiold,
etiquette requires that the bride should
receive hard blows. She does not sub
mit readily, but bewails her fate, ap
pears with torn garments and dishev
eled hair, and makes a show of getting
away from her husband. Sometimes
her grief is sincere, and a sensitive
European would certainly not know
whether it was or not. He might be
tempted to interfere, in which case he
would probably find himself opposed
by the bride as well as bridegroom. In
order that the apparently miserable
woman might be compelled to remain
in her new home, the barbarous cus
tom used to exist of branding her feet
so that they were too painful for her
to walk. By the time they were well
he could with propriety declare her
self resigned to her position.
In Greenland, it is easy to tell who ia
married and who is not. The Esqui
maux women gather up their hair into
huge tuft on the top, tying it with a
ribbon, the color of which denotes their
position. A maid wears red, a married
woman blue, a widow, black; a widow
anxious to remarry, black and red; a
widow too old to remarry, white.
ONE HUNDRED MILLION STARS.
Bow Astroaonser Compute the Neaaber
In the Heavens.
Let us see what richness of stellar
distribution ia imnllcd by this number
of 100,000,000 of visible stars, says the
Gentleman's Magazine. It may be
easily shown that the area of the
whole sky in both hemispheres is 41,255
square degrees. This gives 2,24 stars
to the square degree.
The moon's apparent diameter being
slightly over half a degree (81 deg. 5
min.), the area of its disk is about one
fifth of a square degree.
The area of the whole star sphere in
consequently about 400,000 timet the
area of the full moon. . A total of 100,
000,000 of stars gives therefore 500 star
to each space of sky In area to the full
moon. This seems a large number, but
tars scattered over as thickly as this
would appear at a considerable div
tance apart when viewed with a tele
scope of a high power. As the area of
the moon's dink contain about 780
square minutes of are, there would not
be an average of even ono r.tsr to each
square minuUt. A pair of stars half a
minute, or thirty aeconds, apart would
form a very wide double star, and with
Unplaced at even thl distance the
moon's disk would cover about 1,000, or
is times the actual number vU'ble in
the largest U-leaoope.

REFUSED TO BE RESCUED.
A Parblaa Aetre roed Death Ratkae

"One of my most exciting adven
tures," said Mr. Strakoah to a Washing
ton Post reporter, "was an incident
which happened when I was managing
the South American tour of Mm.
Sarah Bernhardt. We were on the
British steamer Cotopaxi and a good
tout vessel she was but somehow or
other, as we ware passing through the
Straits of Magellan we ran into a sand
bank. The steamer drew eighteen feet
of water, and had, unfortunately, en
tered the straits at low water. Every
one believed that we were shipwrecked,
that our engagement at Chill would
never be fulfilled, and that we were
doomed to stay where we were for
three weeks for you must know that
it la only usual for the steamers of this
line to pasa there every three weeks.
Sarah waa distracted.. 8he tore her
hair, she beat her breast ia her inimit
able manner, and she used the well,
classical language for which she la
noted. There we were and there waa
no prospect of relief. , This waa about
nine o'clock in the morning. The
scene can better be Imagined than
described. The ladies were in tears
and frightened out of their boots,
and even the men of the company
felt uncomfortable, Jli- asanrances
of the captain that all would be well
were of no avail, and everybody was in
despair. At last, about noon, the
amokeof an approaching steamer waa
seen in the distance. Every body's hopea
revived. Aid waa at hand and we
would be rescued from our unpleasant
position. Time went by and the
steamer drew near. As she approached
the Cotopaxi hoisted signals of distress,
and aha bore down upon as. ' But as
soon as her flag was recognizable pa
triotism got the better of fear. The ves
sel flew the German color. Sarah did
not hesitate a moment Her alarm dis
appeared. Rushing to the eapUln, a
bluff English sailor, she flopped on her
knees before him and Implored him for
the love of God and of France not to
tender her over to the tender mere Us
of her enemies. Hhe would rather stay
shipwrecked all her life, abandon bar
profession and loan all her hopes of
artistic and financial auoceae than set
foot upon the deck of a German ship.
Surprised at her change of tone tho
eapUln consented and told tho German
eapUln that his paaacnjrer did not
need assistance, and the Teuton nailed
sway. Buhlng down to her eebln
Mme. Bernhardt brought out a silken
French tri-eolor which had beea pre
sented to her by some admirer and as
the German nailed away she hoisted
the flag of Franoe and waved it tri
umphantly at the parting foe. About
aevea p. m. the tide me and we floated
ad reached our destination In safety."

STEWARD OF AN OCEAN LINER.
A rewltlon of Rnponclblllty with aa Army
of Subordinate to Oversee.
It may surprise some old globe trot
ters to know that the big ocean grey
hounds running between New York
and the European ports carry on an av
erage nineteen thousand pieces of
sterling silverware for their table serv
ice, and that this large amount of plate
is handled during the voyage by from
two hundred to two hundred and forty
waiters or "stewards,Has they are called
on shipboard. The chief steward is
responsible for every piece, says the
New York Mail and Express. He must
be a man of quick powers of observa
tion, a student of human nature and be
up to all the little devices of a small
array of subordinates usually keener
and quicker witted than those found
ashore in the same calling. It is a
busy day for the steward twenty-four
hours before the time set for departure.
He has purchased or contracted for all
the supplies and an assistant sees that
the contracts are fulfilled. But his per
sonal attention must be given to silver
ware. He keeps a regular debit and
credit account and can tell to a tooth
pick just what he will start away with.
On the voyage passengers sre apt to
lose spoons or forks or other ware by
accident, and occasionally a gay blade
may think It amusement to toss a sugar
bowl or half a doxen knives through a
port hole. It is needless to say that he
furnishes a quid pro quo before he
goes sshore. When the other side Is
reached the chief steward spends a day
in balancing accounts. He started with
so much, snd so much should be on
hand. If there is a difference he seeks
to find it, and if he can't find it he
"makes good" himitelf. The responsi
bility of such a position naturally com
mands a high salary, and every chief
steward on every ocean steamship run
ning from this port Is, without excep
tion, a man of unimpeachable Integ
rity. The extraordinary record la that
In thirty years there hsve been but
two accusations of a betrayal of a trust

In Paris he said that he looked to chem
istry for deliverance from present so
cial evils and for the possibility of re
alizing the socialists' dreams that is,
if a spiritual chemistry could be .dis
covered to change human nature as
deeply as chemical science could mod
ify the globe. This change, he de
clared, will be greatly due to chemis
try utilizing the heat of the sun and
tue central heat of the globe. The
latter can be obtained by shafts of
three thousand or four thousand me
ters in depth, which modern engineers
are equal to the task of Binking.
The water down so deep will be hot
and able to keep all possible machinery
going. By natural distillation it will
furnish nulu free from microbes, and
be an unlimited source of chemical and
electrical energy. This could be ev

years might pass without any notice

of heat all. chemical transformation
would be easy. Theoproduction of ali

principle, and has been for forty years,
by the syntheses of grease and oils.
That of hydrates of carbon is going on,
and that of nitrogenous substances is
not far off. .
When energy can be obtained thus
cheaply, food can be made from carbon
taken from carbonic acid, hydrogen

the air. What work the vegetables
have so far done science will soon be

they will not be pestiferous from ages

- TWO NOTED SISTERS.
Owe KeftiMd t l'ay Taxe and the Other
Translated the lllhle.
At a recent meeting of the Equal
Rights club of Hartford, Conn., Mrs.
L. I). Bacon gave an Interesting sketch
of the late Miss Abby Smith, of Glas
tonbury, Conn., who for many yesrs
refused to pay her taxes because kite
did not have a vote. While her sister
Julia raised cows ami made five trans
lations of the Bible, Abby raised the
b recce that wafted them to fame. In
the days of the "Mlllerltes" and their
talk about the end of the world, Julia
wanted to learn If there was any war
rant in the original Hebrew for Miller's
predictions, fixing the end of the world
in IH43; no ahf studied Hebrew snd then
went to work snd translated the Bible.
"I have been unable to find," said Mrs.
Bacon, "that any one man ever trans
lated the whole Bible alone. The Bible
has been worked up by many different
hands, and has appeared nnder differ
ent names, ss W k-liffe's Bible,' "Tyn
dsle's Bible,' t'ovenlale's Bible,' t run
mrr's Bible,' snd 'King Jsmra' Bible.'
No one man ever did the work aloti
and unaided. This was left for s woman
to do, snd not only tw Ice, but Ave times
did she perform Ibis lli-rvulcsu labor,
snd then niodfittly shut the translations
up in her closet for a quarter of a cen
tury, never st that time Intending to
publUli tlinu. I'rolisbly no women
sfter thesifeof i-lirhty rnn show such
a record a that of Julia hiulth. At
the age of rlffhty two she had S lawsuit
In her town which wsa decided In her
fsvor, snd wis Ihrii spM-alcd by the

on the aland, In spite of her founnnr
years snd two. At the see of eighty
four she puhlUhed her translation of
the Bible. At the sge of eighty till she
ws married, making a record which
easily dlatance the rronlaof ordinary
