Knives Are Tiny Saws. Knives, no matter how carefully I sharpened, are little saws. The grind- ’ Ing away of the steel, done by the ( stone, is not an even work, but when the edge gets thin is a process of tearing away tiny bits of steel by the grit of the stone. This tearing makes the teeth. A line stone makes fine teeth, a coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving knife used on meat is sharpened on a coarse stone or a steel and has coarse teeth, although its edge is thick. Its action in parting the meat is more that of a saw than a tine wedge. No matter how soft it may be it will not cut easily unless it is drawn over the meat and not simply pressed down. A razer, however, with its paperlike edge, will cut into flesh with a simple pressure. It is a wedge dividing the fibers of flesh just as a wedge of iron divides the fibers of the log it splits. But a razor is a saw, too, only as it is ground on the finest stones and later finished with a leather strap, its teeth are very flue Indeed—hundreds and hundreds to the inch of blade.—C. H. Claudy iu St. Nicholas. Origin of Curtain Calls. The first curtain eall took place on the evening of Feb. 26. 1743. On that memorable evening Voltaire’s “Merope” was performed for the first time in Paris. The author was known to the Paris public, but nothing that they had seen of his had pleased them so much ns “Merope,” and the enthusiasm found expression in noisy demands to see the : author. Iu a letter Voltaire says this of the incident: “They dragged me out and led me by force to the box occupied by the Duchesse de Villars and her daughter-in-law. The whole theater seemed to have gone mad —all shouted to the duchesse to kiss me. The noise became so great that the lady finally obeyed. So I was, like Alain Chartier, publicly kissed, but he was asleep, while I was wide awake.” Now’ authors answer similar calls by appearing before the curtain. They gain in so far that they can be seen , better by their audience, but they must | dispense with the duchesse's kiss—at ( least in public.—Berliner Tageblatt. Pronunciation of ‘'Theatre.” If “theatre" was originally written “theater” in English, has its pronunciation also varied among the orthodox—that is to say, was there ever a time when correct speakers said “theayter,” as many of the incorrect still do? There is no direct evidence in verse of a serious kind for sueh pronunciation so far as we know. Shakespeare certainly pronounced the word as we do now, says a London journal. But since “theayter” does really represent a long “a” of the original Greek and Latin It is not easy to understand how the vulgar could have blundered on to it of their own accord. It would have been more comprehensible if they had turned an orthodox “theayter” into “theater,” just as the second “a” in “Amasis" goes too often popularly shortened now. The French language has had to mark the length of the “a” in “theatre” by giving it a rather irregular circumflex accent. Luck In Filling. “It’s a peculiar thing the tricks that luck will now and then play a chap,” said a prominent physician recently. “Take, for instance, the breaking of bones in one’s body. Did you ever stop and think how very many hard and high falls a man can have, light on rocky ground with half his body twisted under the other half, so to speak, and come off with not even a scratch? Then, again, a fellow will just trip over his own foot and, falling to the ground, break a .leg or an arm. A good many will say it all depends on how one alights, but that seems to have absolutely nothing to do with it, as I have seen a man alight in a certain way from a high fall and never injure himself, and then again have I seen a second chap alight in the same identical way and break a leg and an , arm.”—Columbus Dispatch. — Diplomatic Reticence. The social reformer was paying a ' visit to the convicts in the penlten- ’ tiary and asking them various ques- ' tlons. “And what are you doing here, my friend?” he said to a good looking man in the shoeshop. “Making shoes,” was the reply that • discouraged any further inquisition in : that direction. Discharging the Cook. “Well, cook’s gone at last, John,” said Mrs. B. “Good. You must have had more courage than I gave you credit for to discharge her.” “I didn’t do it. She discharged herself. I flattered her so about her cook- > ing that she thought she was too good ’ to stay with us, and off she went.” ; , Music Hath Charms. i “Waiter!” called the customer in the restaurant where an orchestra was *; playing. “Yes. sir.” “Kindly tell the leader of the orches tra to play something sad and low while I dine. I want to see if it won’t have a softening influence on this steak!”—Tit-Bits. Shifting the Blame. Husband—Where did I leave my I spectacles last night? Wife—Let me see! I saw them somewhere, but I can't remember where it was. Husband—That’s just like a woman—can't remember anything.—Exchange. Coming Forth. Stage Manager—Why didn’t you go on when you got your cue, “Come , forth?” Super—Ol was waitin' for the other three to go on first. Sure, an’ how could O1 come fourth if I wint I first?’ j

I Expensive Moaesty. I “What’s tue matter, old man? You I look sad.” “I am. i just asked Farnsworth to lend me $5.” “And I suppose he said he didn’t have that much in the world.” “No. He had to get a ten dollar bi ll changed in order to let me have what I had asked for.” His Intelligence. Purchaser—You told me that parrot I bought of you was the most intelligent bird in your collection, while the fact is he doesn’t talk at all. Dealer— That’s what I meant when I spoke of his Intelligence. The Secret. He —Why did you tell me this If it was such a secret? She—But if I didn't tell it to somebody how could anybody know I could keep a secret?— Baltimore American. Age does not make us childish, as some say. It finds us true children.— Goethe. 0 SPECIAL EXCURSION RATES via CLOVER LEAF ROUTE. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Meeting American Medical Association. Tickets on sale May 31st to June 3rd.
