MAIN TERMS FULLY OUTLINED NORTHWEST MARKET REPORT MORE THAN HE COULD STAND Absence of “Properties’* Caused Actor to Leave the “Bally Rotten Show’’ in a Hurry. SCENES LINGER YET EVENTS ONE RECALLS FROM OLD VOLUMES. Humorous recollections of a slip In stage business turning a thrilling cli- max into a comical sight is told in E. II. Sothern’s book, as shown in the dra­ matic department of the Sunday Post and that brings to mind the funny ex­ perience of Taylor Holmes, the young farce comedian remembered in “The Third Party" and “His Majesty Bunker Bean.” It was when Holmes was with a stock company in Newark. N. J. The heavy man was a well-known actor. who was playing in stock to tide him over the summer financially, and he was unaccustomed to the free and easy way of doing without things used in the play. The regular stock actors made no complaint when props were missing, but improvised as best they could. The opening night in "Ticket of Leave Man,” as Jack Dalton (the heavy) and Melter Moss (Taylor Holmes) were supposed to be kidnap­ ing Bob Brierly to a churchyard. Holmes said to the heavy in the wings Just before their entrance: “Don’t ask me for the light. Cut the line.” "Why should I cut my linos?” de- manded the heavy with all his dignity. "You'll have to cut them,” insisted Holmes. "I haven’t any lantern to give you.” "My word, what a bally rotten show,” said the heavy. "I'm not accustomed to tills sort of thing,” ns he stalked on the stage. All his lines fled—excepting the one he should have forgotten. He looked blankly at Holmes, stuttered and stam- mered, then thundered: "Moss, give me the glim 1” “I can’t gif you no glim; I ain’t got no glim,” said Holmes. But the heavy was now past comprehending. “Moss, give me the glim—give me the glim !” lie shrieked. “I ain’t got no glim. Didn’t I tell you not to ask for the glim? You don't need no glim; it’s light enough for your dirty work,” said Holmes, frantically trying to ad lib and set the heavy straight la the scene. The heavy gave Holmes one disgust­ ed look ; snorted as he threw up his hands, and said : “Good night, this is awful. I cannot stand it. I’m not used to it,” and stalked off the stage, leav­ ing the audience howling with glee. Big Collection of Brains. The brain collection of the United States National museum, which has lately received valuable additions rep­ resenting the higher apes, was starteli 13 years ago by Ales Hrdlicka, and now contains about 1,500 human and animal brains. Of these 223 are hu­ man, including 95 of whites and 128 of other races, and 348 belong to the goril- las, chimpanzees, orangs, gibbons, balloons and other primates. The num­ ber of adult anthropoids, though It em­ braces only a single adult chimpanzee, is believed to exceed that of all other known collections. Besides those of the primates, the collection now has the brains of 165 carnivores and cetaceans, 50 insectivores, 266 ungulates or hoofed animals, 81 rodents, 47 edentates or toothless animals and marsupials, or pouch-bearers, and 287 birds and rep­ tiles. Danger in Raw Pork. There is considerable danger in eat­ ing pork or pork products raw or not thoroughly cooked. The disease fre­ quently resulting is called trichinosis. It is caused by certain round worms, microscopic in size, that often infest tlie flesh of hogs. Of 8,000,000 hog carcasses micro­ scopically inspected by federal inspec­ tors in eight years, about one in every thirty-nine contained these worms. Of about 1,200 American cases of trichino­ sis, 255 came from eating raw sausage and 213 from raw ham. In a community in Wisconsin last year 21 cuses developed In five fami­ lies and three deaths resulted from eating sausage that was only slightly cooked. These round worms die at a temperature of 140, so thorough cook­ ing does away with possible danger. They Just Want to Know. The inquisitiveness of children which, ns Oliver Wendell Holmes says, makes them the terror and despair of their parents, has no object save the craving to know about things, so Dr. J. Mitchell Bruce, consulting physi­ cian to Charing Cross hospital, Lon­ don, told his students at the opening of the winter session. The small boy Is hungry for knowledge for its own sake, Just ns he eats because he Is hungry, without any notion of physio­ logical use of food. Beneficent Motives. “What makes you keep boosting the price of commodities under your con­ trol ?” "Philanthropy, my boy,” replied Mr. Dustin Stax. "Economy makes people happier and better; and we’re teach­ ing economy to people who never had any previous Idea of what the word meant.” By No Means Always the Most Impor­ tant Things Recorded That Remain in the Memory After a Lapse of Time. There is a peculiar pleasure In striv­ ing to remember something of books enjoyed years ago and never read again. It happened with us, und may ! with most people, that in many in­ stances one or two scenes, one or two | gestures, starting out of a sort of fog, stand for the whole book. There are numerous fogs and each one has Its own quality. Ail that is left to us of “Rob Roy.” Don Marquis writes in the New York Sun, its a woman with a broadsword in her hand who stands upon a rocky way that overhangs a lake and screams forth a vehement command. Someone, we believe, is about to be cast over the precipice at this furious lady’s order. The earth round about is reddish brown and overhead the clouds are moving rapidly. “Bleak House” is a woman who clings to an iron gate and peers through its bars. And we have also some faint rec­ ollection ot an echo thut was like the footstep of a sentinel ghost. The fog from which emerges the woman at the iron gate is more than fog ; it is a black vapor—inky black. We cannot see the heroine of “Lorna Doone” at all, but we still know how John Ridd felt when he all but drowned in a swirling, icy pool ; we can still see him as he bends over and tries to catch little fish with his fingers in the cold brook just before he falls into the pool. The pale glitter of a faint sun upon shaken drops of water and a sense of much snow and rain generally are our only other impressions of the book. "Tom Sawyer" is a boy groping and fearing in a cave; of Tom's humorous pranks we remember nothing. "Huckle- bery Finn” we almost know by heart, but then we have read it a dozen times. In “Toilers of the Sea," where the man is seized by the devilfish as he himself is hunting crabs to eat, Hugo elaborately builds up a scene which is the epitome of the whole tremendous book and the symbol of the gnunt eter­ nal struggle between man and nature (animate and inanimate) which the book dramatizes. And yet, for all Hu­ go's cruft nnd power, that scene thrills us less—speaks less stirringly to our blood and nerves—than one Incident of fur less significance in the same vol­ ume. This incident, which stirs us more, deals merely with the murder of a guard on tlie edge of a cliff that over­ looks the sea. It is a tiling that in no wise touches the moral bones of the story; it Is not essential to the struc­ ture of the tale as a tule; another de­ vice might lia ve ween used If Hugo had not evidently fancied tills one for his own sake. But it gets itself remem- bered. The devilfish scene, informed though it is of the essential spirit of the book expressed in the terms of phy- sical conflict, will have left us long be­ fore we forget the coastguardsman’s murder. “Casket" Factory. The fact was revealed at the Rhond­ da tribunal recently that nt Treorchy, a colliery village in Kthondda valley, one of tlie largest coffin industries in the kingdom is carried on. It was stated that those works, which contain 25 machines, can turn out 80 to 100 coffins in six hours. In America coffins are now called caske. . Before the war coffins were exported to till parts of the world, but naturally lit­ tle business is done In this direction nowadays. Nevertheless, between 200 and 300 coffins are turned out weekly. Practically all the coffins necessitat­ ed by big disasters are provided by this firm, and requisites for use nt cre­ matoriums are manufactured.—London Mail. Takes Casts of Records. Joseph Sanders of Washington has just patented a method of making phonograph records. He makes a disk of material Hint becomes plastic under heat ; heats only that part which is to bear the record, sprinkles a powder □ver this part and Impresses a record upon the heated surface under high pressure. Thus he takes a cast of any record on his disk and forces the cen­ tral part that is to bear the label out of the plane of annular margin, or rec­ ord part. A Proud Moment. "How was the musicale at Mrs. Gadder’s house?” “A great success from Mrs. Gad­ der's point of view.” “Yes?" "Everyone who attended professed to be amazed nt the sums paid the artists who took part." In Receptive Mood. “Our graduating class comprises 35 young ladies." Matter o’ Money. "How many of them have planned “I thought Katherine figured on mar- I careers?” rylng Jack Hansom.” "None that I know of.
