HISTORIC DRAMATICS. The Passion For Acting That Assert* Itself In Man. Some psychologist has asserted that the instinct in many men, great or small, that leads them to pose in order to give dramatic effect to their words or actions has at times been so strong as to be unconquerable, even by death. History records an amusing instance of this in the case of Sir Francis Burdett, who was condemned to the Tower for high treason. Sir Francis resisted the order. His house was attacked by detachments of cavalry and infantry. An infuriated mob raged outside. When the door w r as broken down, Burdett was found calmly seated in his library, an infant son upon his knee, whom he was teaching to read Magna Charta. William Pitt, perhaps the greatest of British orators, was, according to Grattan, ‘'an incomparable actor." Pitt would seize upon every trifling occurrence with the rapidity of lightning which could add force to his eloquence. It is related that on one occasion when attacking a Radical motion late at night the lights of the house went out. Pitt paused, and then in the darkness his voice rang out: “Go on! IT the constitution must be wounded, let it receive its mortal stab now in this dark and midnight hour!" Action on the motion was postponed and' finally lost. One of I’itt’s 'opponents afterward said: "He made us feel like conspirators doing a bloody deed simply by the lack of candles and his marvelous voice.” Pitt was fully aware of the effect of this. He once solemnly began a speech upon colonial reforms by the words, "Sugar, Mr. Speaker”— when he was interrupted by a smothered laugh from some of the younger members. He paused, glared from bench to bench and then in a white heat of fury cried out "Sugar! Sugar! Sugar!" three times. So powerful were the tones of the orator that a frightful silence followed. He looked at the awestruck members , and said contemptuously, “Who laughs at me and sugar now!” and went on with his speech. On another occasion, while hurling contempt at Lord Effingham, he suddenly appealed to a figure in the tapestry on the wall as "an immortal ancestor of this degenerate lord, indignant at the disgrace of his race and country.” So fine was the action, we are told, that the house thrilled with excitement, only remembering afterward that the “great shade” whose wrath he deprecated was worked by a needle upon the canvas. The passion for acting could go no further than in a duke of the great French house of Rohan, who, being told that he had only half an hour to live, caused himself to be taken up. dressed in court costume, with all his orders and jewels, and seated In the banqueting room, where he received bis friends with grace and dignity. Finding himself growing blind, he rose, exclaming. “Ah. the King is here!” saluted and fell dead. Napoleon, according to his biographers, possessed dramatic talent of no low grade. Indeed, It has even been asserted that be took lessons of the celebrated player Talma. At any rate, the Corsican on no occasion lost sight of the dramatic possibilities of a word or an action. How the devoted legions must have thrilled when under the shadow of the pyramids he delivered to them his "Soldiers, from these pyramids forty centuries look down upon you!” Famous Loving Cups. Some of the old loving cups were called grace cups. Os the specimens now in possession of the English guilds and corporations the most famous is the Henry VIII. grace cup, which belongs to the Barbers’ company of London. With its four globular bells hanging around the outer rim, says the Jewelers’ Circular, this cup might well 1 excite the envy of even the most hon--1 est collector of silverware. The name ! of the cup is derived from the fact , that King Hal was the donor, the > grace cup being Intended to commem- ; orate the union of the barbers with the guild of surgeons. The cover carries

the Tudor rose, portcullis and fleur-de-lis, the flnla) of the lid being mounted with the imperial crown, the English and French arms being beneath, supported by the lion and greyhound. The Skinners’ company has a peacock cup, though it is in the form of a peahen. This large silver bird, with three chicks at her feet, stnnls on the silver badge, which was formerly worn by the company's barge master, and around it are the engraved words, “The gift of Mary, ye daughter of Richard Robinson and wife to Thomas Smith and James Peacock, skinners, 1642.” The lady’s two husbands were both masters of the company. Court Fools Who Owned Whole Towns. Hitard, who was attached to Edmund Ironsides, Is the first court jester of whom we have record. He owned the town of Walworth, a gift from the king. He held it through four succeeding reigns, and before leaving England for Rome, where he spent his last days, he presented It to the church, placing the deed upon the altar of the Cathedral of Canterbury. Gallet, Galet or Gollet, a native of Bayeux, was one of William the Conqueror’s jesters. He was attached to William when only Duke of Normandy and saved his master's life by disclosing a plot for his assassination. Berdic was another. He Is enrolled in Domesday Book as joculator regis and lord of three towns, all rent free, and five carucates in Gloucestershire. Rahere was jester to Henry I. and William Plciilph or Plcol jester to King John. Master Henry, who, it is thought, may be Identical with Henry of Avrancbes, the poet laureate or verslfieator, was jester to Henry 111.

To eatch glimpses at every turn in the 1 valleys of cloudy peaks, or when on the mountain side to see through the limpid air valley after valley between the protecting hills, to breathe thia I pure air, to know that summer is al- ' most perpetual—he is only half a man • who does not for a moment forget the , needs of civilization in the intoxication of primitive nature. The loveliness of I Venezuela is something different from that of the Andean ranges farther west • and south. It is more tropical, and the . 1 mountains do not rise to the height in • which the senses are stilled by grandeur, nor is there found so near the , equator that ruggedness or gloom of solemnity which is one feature of the Rockies. It Is a beauty of more human type, which can be enjoyed most when we know that man has his abode there. The Andes, the Alps or the Rockies are bold and austere. They need no life. Life is not meant for them. But such contrasts and changes as are constantly presented to the eye in these softened landscapes are more exquisite when man I* pottering about on the ■ surface trying to Imagine that be Is of some real Importance on the earth.— Reader Magazine.
