There is a certain bright English actress who comes over here every year or two to play an engagement, says the Saturday Evening Post Among her admirers on this side is a middle aged theatrical man of a seri ous turn of mind.

Fronting the Imperial palace at Pe king are two beautifully carved lions of enormous size which, if we are to be lieve the mandarins, are of solid gold and have been there since time im memorial. When the combined armies of England aud France advanced on Peking in 1800 the Chinese painted these statues gray in order to make the Europeans believe that they were of bronze and therefore to insure ngainst their being melted. Later, dur ing the Japanese war, these lions dis appeared for a time, but at the con clusion of peace they reappeared in their original position. Tbs value of these relics ia said to be incalculable, and they are tn native eyes a symbol of the unity of the empire.—Harper's. CLOUGH. T— | Grotesque Sport That la a Part ef th. Holl Festival. The curiously childish horseplay of the Holl festival, which is celebrated aunually by the maharaja of Patiala, la descrllied by Mrs. Charles Bertram in “A Magician In Many Lauds. The author made the acquaintance of the famous Hindu ruler during a tour or India aud was invited to remain over for the festival. Early in the morning I went to the club, where I found many of the guests, wbo were taking part lu the ceremony for tbe first time We were provided with a complete new suit of nindu garments, and our dressing was superintended by the maharaja s servants. We had camels, elephants and victorias provided for us. I was on an elephant in a kind of box, and we drove in procession to tbe palace in the native city. We were received with great acclaim by the natives, and I was led to be lieve that it was to be decidedly a dig nified occasion. But I was woefully mistaken. The fun had not begun. Certain formalities bad to be gone through before the signal was given. We took our seats in the courtyard of the palace at a long table that was loaded with large gilt dishes filled with different colored balls as large as oranges and filled with Holl powder. At n signal the brother of the mahara ja came to the front of the table and salaamed to the prince, who took one of the balls and threw it gently across the table, striking the officer on the breast. The ball broke and scattered the powder over bls costume. Then there was a general scramble, and In less time than it takes to write hundreds of balls were flying about, their many colored contents scattered broadcast on the crowd. Next baskets of loose pow der were thrown upon us in handfuls. It was no use to expostulate. The moment you opened your mouth some body filled it with powder. The battle grew fast and furious, when suddenly an enormous stream of water from a fire engine drenched everybody. The colored powders became wet and. min gling together, dyed us all in brilliantly variegated hue«. After this sort of thing had gone on for half an hour it ceased by mutual cousent, and we returned to the pri vate gardens of the maharaja, where we were most unceremoniously pitch ed into a tank of running water. I was dyed a deep scarlet all over my body, and it was fully a month before the color entirely disappeared from ay face and hands.

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE, THEY WERE VERY RICH What Elsa They Were Was Quaintly Told by Mary Lyon. When in 1837 Mary Lyon founded Holyoke college she collected the mou- ey required for its first building in sums thnt ranged from 6 cents to $1,000. She got 1,800 persons to sub scribe. Her feat gave the new enter prise an unusually wide foundation iu the public interest, but she did not ac complish it without much hard work or without gaining wide exjierieuce of human nature. One evening Miss Lyon arrived In the village of Ashfleld. Mass., at a home where she was always vvelcomcd. gladly. She was full of hope and en thusiasm. Would the squire take het at once to W„ jvhere, she had learned, there was a family of wealth that might give liberally toward the semi nary building? "Supper and a good night’s rest. Mis Lyon,” was the reply, "and then m;- horses shall take you there.” The next morning as they were start Ing the squire's wife laid n gentle hum on Miss Lyon’s shoulder, with th. warning: “Do not expect too much, ins dear Miss Lyon. We know the pcoph I fear you will not be successful.” With a beaming face Miss Lyon re plied: "Ob, I am told they are ver;, rich. I am sure they will help liber ally.” When she entered the house on her return Miss Lyon went quickly to her friend, and. grasping her arm. while conflicting emotions played over her face, she said: "Yes, it is all true, just as I was told They live in a costly house, It is full of costly things, they wear costly clothes”—then, drawing nearer and s’most closing her eyes, she whispered with unforgetable emphasis, “but. oh, they’re little bits of folks!”—Youth’s Companion. FREEZING TO DEATH Sensations That Com. With Exposure to Extreme Cold. In the course of a series of experi ments with extreme cold carried on at Berlin, Raoul Pictet, an investigator. Inserted bls bare arm beyond the el bow In a chamber refrigerated to a temperature of 157 degrees below zero F. and kept it there for several min utes. He suffered no permanent dam age, but experienced a number of pe culiar and painful sensations. Tbe chief of these aud the most trying was a feeling of pain in the bones of the hand and arm. The pain increased steadily. It was located chiefly in the interior parts of the arm and was far less severe in the portions near or at the surface. The skin was purple when the member was withdrawn. In about ten minutes n vloleut reaction set In with violent burning sensation of the skin wherever it bad been exposed. Investigations carried on with dogs indicated that the process of freezing to death is not necessarily an unpleas ant one. Placed in a temperature of —125 to —150 the animals displayed quickened breathing and heart beats, with a decided rise above normal in the blood temperature. These signs pointed to a sudden and violent auto matic effort of the heart to preserve the bodily temperature. In spite of en ergetic heart action the temperature of the blood fell gradually to 71 degrees. At this point the heart action ceased very suddenly. The sensations of bodily warmth and languor mentioned In descriptions of death by violent cold can easily be un derstood in view of the above expert aaente.—New York Baa. Killing Time. Perhaps the busiest time of the year in old colonial days was November, called "killing time." When the chosen day arrived oxen, cows and swine which had been fattened for the win ter’s stock were slaughtered early in the morning that the meat might be hard and cold before belug put in the An Ancient English Weekhouee. pickle Sausage«. rvllcbee and head Ia the rewords of St. Thoma«' hospi cheese were made, lard tried out and tal, London, la an entry of the year tallow saved. 1570 to the effect that "to consider:! tlou of the bote tyme of the yet»" the poor be allowed "every one a day three pyutto of Bera for two nwnttai." a quart at dinner and a pint at supper and at th« end of two month, return to 'There old« ordinary allowance, which la one quarto." Th« food at this ancient workhouse was to be dealt with as liberally as the drink.

All these words are merely oar puny euphemisms for X, the uuknowi quantity. Not a day passes but the story of a remarkable coincidence is brought tu public notice. A stranger incident net- er occurred, however, than this one. the account of which is in an old copy of the Chronique de Paris. A youth of about nineteen vu brought to trial for having broken th« window of a baker’s shop and stolen a two pound loaf. The Judge—Why did you steal tin loaf? Prisoner—I was driven by hunger. "Why did you not buy it?” “Because I had no money.” “But you have a gold ring on yonr finger. Why didn't you sell it?" “I am a foundling.
