How few theater goer* of the present day realize that centuries ago, when there were no actors or actresses to argue with managers as to the size o f type their name should appear ill or what place on the program they were to have, the great amount of amusement of the people of that day was derived from the marionette drama. The ma rionette theater was the only place where o h could hear or sea a play. The artists were the puppeta, and their ability lav in the deftness o f the thread poller, which was the Sanskrit name of the stage man ager, and yet some of those puppets were as famous in their day as our well known stars of today. A peep into the origin o f this form o f drama shows that it is al most as old as the world itself. The word marionette ia derived from m ono, meaning fool, or from Marion, the man who divorced marionettes from the church plays and used them for small comedy plays in Paris, where today they are popular in several manikin the aters. The word fantoccini ia Italian for marionettes, being derived from fantimo, meaning child, and the word peppet comes from poupee, a baby or doll. Marionettes are o f high antiquity, because figures with movable limbs’ have been found in the tombs o f Egypt and in the ruins o f Etruria. They were common among the Greeks and from them were imported to Borne. Mario nette plays are now popular in Chi na and Lidia and for many centu ries maintained an important place among the European countries. Goethe and Lessing mention them, and as late as 1721 La Sage wrote plays for puppets to per form . Don Quixote wrote “ the cu rious puppet show which represents the play o f ‘Melissandra and Don G eyferot/ one of the best shows that have been acted in time ont o f mind in this kingdom.” Greece, Rome and Egypt bad their marionettes centuries ago, and the historian Herodotus mentions them. Prethernos o f Athens was , given the very stage in Athens on which the dramas o f Euripides were enacted for his pnppets by the Archons o f Athena. - Today they are a favorite amusement in Java, the land o f coffee, the Javanese marionette being moved by long, slender sticks from behind a fence; and the figures o f wood and leather are taken as highly serious by the tectators, some o f them portraying /unities in religious themes.— Philadelphia Ledger. Uncle Sam is now too big, too prosperous and too much in a hur ry sven to count his money, and in stead of counting his coins by hand he limply runs them through a sort o f hopper operated by electricity, and an automatic register shows how many went through. The coins fall into a tyg and are tied up and sealed, the government guarantee- that the correct number is in the bag. The machine can make no mistake ; hence Uncle Sam feels safe in making his guarantee. In this way all the money is counted out at Washington to go to the sab- treasuries and banka throughout the country. The treasury does a great deal o f counting o f money, and for the purpose women are em ployed rather than men, aa it has been found after long experience that women make fewer mistakes: hence the operators at the electric machines are o f the female sex. But there, is one place'in the life o f the coin whdft it most be count ed by hand, and that Is when it comes back to the treasury for re demption. The money then must be gone over by band to separate the foreign, mutilated, worn out and counterfeit pieces, a work that requires very quick perception, and women have been found to do it excellently well. Usually they can detect a counterfeit coin by its col- or as it lies among the others on the table, but if not then the operator captures it when she tosses it from one hand to another, for there ia a false ring in its chink as it leaps into her palm. There are some interesting facts connected with copper cents. You would think that, inasmuch as nies are money, they would be ly well taken care of, wouldn’ t yon ? But they very mysteriously creep away and are seen no more. We have to pnt 80,000,000 o f them into circulation annually, and the ma jority never come back for re demption. Y on can hardly destroy such a coin, so we infer that as they are changing hands frequently and are o f small value they are handled carelessly and lo st One woman in the treasury at Washington spends all her time in the little paper covert are seen around the sacks of er coins in the banka; They are called “ cartridges” and are pop ular with the banka, aa they are easily bandied.— American Banker. A Wira Chaira. An old philosopher who had two rapils one day gave each a sum o f money and told them to purchase something with it which should fill the room where they studied. One rapil bought a large quantity o f lay and straw, and the next morn- ng he invited his master to see his room, which he had almost filled with the results o f his purchase. “ A h l Very good, very goodP' exclaimed the philosopher. And now, turning to tne other pupil, he said, “ Well, friend, what nave you bought?” “ A small lamp and some oil which will fill the room with a light in the dark evening hours. This will en able ns to continue our studies by night as well as by day if ws should so wish,” replied the pupil. “ You have made the best pur chase,” said the philosopher. H . W as Hatpin«. A Baltimore man whose son is a student at Princeton has had fre quent occasion to remonstrate with his boy touching'his extravagance, bat the father invariably “ comes to the front” when request is made for further funds. In his last letter to his son the father, after the usual recital, stat ed that he was forwarding s check for $50, and he wound up w ith: “ My son, vour studies are costing me a great deal.” To which the hopeful in his next letter replied: “ I know it, father, and I don't study very hard either.” -—Harper’s Magazine.

But in the production o f the new forms there is, generally speaking, a slight variation in some cases from the parent form , and it is in the direc tion of these variations that natural selection acts. The variation re peats itself and keeps on doing so until finally the change is so mark ed that what practically amounts to s new species results. Thus are ac compli shed by slow results, extend ing through ages perhaps, the ends that man by artincial selection ac complishes in a few years.— Ex change. J fJ aiw-A'i » . y !

When it came time to dress for the big event in the evening I got all rigged ont and then looked in the closet fo r my shoes. They weren’t there nor anywhere else. I had packed them in that trunk, and they were in the baggage room five miles away. The stores were all dosed. It was just an hour before the ceremony. Nothing to it. I borrowed our coachman’s beat pat ent leathers and was married in those.” — New York Sun. Mary, Quran of Seat«. Mary, queen o f Scots, was tall and slender, but very graceful in all her actions. Her face does not seem to have been especially beau tiful, for she had rather irregular features, but her fascination of manner was irresistible. She had a way o f cocking her head a little to one side and o f looking sideways at the person with whom ahe was talking that gave a strong impres sion of coquetry. She had very small hands and feet and was fond o f showing both, often having her 'owns shortened in order that her set might be seen. She always had her own hair cut dose and wore a wig to save the time and trouble e o f naird ressing. Siberia. Siberia ia no longer thought o f as a land o f desolate ice fields and bar ren steppes. On the other hand, it is known to be one o f the most won derful lands on earth. The rich prairies o f the middle Amur and the Udai region, where the wild vine grows freely, and the fertile black earth plains o f the Tobal and the Ishim— not mere patches o f rich land, but steppes covering tens o f million« of acre*— and vaat tracts densely covered with forests predict for this far northern country a re markable future. Its population is steadily increasing, and it ia already beginning to be one o f the great in centers of the earth.— New ork American.
