HE WON THE HOUSE. Ned Harrigan’s Pies st a Critical Point In a Play. Edward Harrigan once said that the most trying moment iu his theatrical career occurred in New Orleans soon after the civil war. He had gone south with his company and, yielding somewhat to popular request, put on “The Blue and the Gray.” The play had been a success up north, but down south, with the air still full of the bitterness of the war, it was a dangerous experiment. Tony Hart wns to represent the Confederate gray, so he bunted up a uniform of the Louisiana Tigers, and when he came marching on, young, stalwart, handsome, the typical soldier boy in the tieloved uniform, the bouse, men and women, cheered and shouted and cried for all their heroes embodied In this boy. Harrigan, standing In the wings in bls northern blue, waiting to go on, had just one thought —"They’ll kill me!” Then he stepped out, the embodiment of the enemy, and a cold, dead silence fell upon the house. Not a hand moved for him. The audience was tense with emotion, and there w-as only an Instant to act If the play was to be saved. Harrigan, big, kindly, good looking, came swiftly down to the front and stepped over the footlight gutter, leaning down to them. “For the love of heaven, won’t you give the Yankee a hand?” he exclaimed. At once the house was caught and all the pentup feeling turned the right way. There was a yell of applause. RULE OF THE ROAD. Decided Abroad by the Sword and Here by the Gun. Several travelers were seated In the hotel lobby discussing the difference In customs of the various countries they had visited- “What struck me as most peculiar abroad,” said one, “Is the custom of keeping to the left instead of the right, as we do here. Why Is the rule reversed?” “I think I can explain that,” said a reserved looking man In the corner. "In medieval and later periods abroad men were In the custom of wearing swords. The sword was worn, as it Is now, on the left side. Consequently In drawing their weapon it was done with the right hand, and to get quickly upon guard a man had to have his right side to his opponent; hence the custom of .keeping to the left. “In America when every man carried his life in his hand on account of savage Indians all men carried guns. The easiest and most natural way to carry a gun, either afoot or mounted, is over the left arm with the muzzle pointed outward, and It takes but a very slight movement to throw the butt against the right shoulder. For that reason the early settlers kept to the right of the road so their weapon could instantly be brought to bear on any mark that was necessary.”—Philadelphia Times. Romanes of a Shadow. It Is hard to believe that a shadow Is probably the origin of all astronomical, geometrical and geographical science. The first man who fixed his staff perpendicularly in the ground and measured its shadow was the earliest computer of time, and the Arab of today who plants his spear in the sand and marks where the shadow falls is his direct descendant It is from the shadow of a gnomon that the early Egyptians told the length of the year. It is from the shadow of a gnomon that the inhabitants of upper Egypt still measure the hours of work for a water wheel. In this case the gnomon Is a Ihurra stalk supported on forked uprights and points north and south. East and west are pegs In the ground evenly marking the space of earth between sunrise and sunset In a land of constant sunshine a shadow was the primitive chronometer. It was also the primitive footruie.—London T. P.’s Weekly. Men With Green Hair. “Copper is scarce,” said a broker, “but there is still enough of It left to turn the copper worker’s hair green.” “His hair green?” “Precisely. In those copper districts where the ore is of a low grade it is roasted in open furnaces to refine it and make it more marketable. A gas emanates from the furnaces that turns the firemen’s hair a bright green, this arsenic green that the firemen’s hair takes on. “So if you ever see a man with green hair you can say, a la Sherlock Holmes: “ ‘There, my dear Watson, is a copper furnace tender.’ ” A Request “I shall never forget,” says the eminent man of wealth during the course of his little speech on “How to Become as I Am,” “I shall never forget bow I saved my first hundred dollars.’’ At this juncture a weary individual in the audience, who has heard this story many times and has read it many times more, interrupts: “Well, if you can’t forget it, for heaven’s sake give the rest of us a chance to.” —Chicago Post A Friendly Tip. Sapleigh—Would you—er—advise me to —er—marry a beautiful girl or a sensible girl? Hammersley—l’m afraid you’ll never be able to marry either, old man. Sapleigh—Why not? Hammereley—Well, a beautiful girl could do better and a sensible girl would know better.— Exchange. All They Could Find. “What’s all that noise in the next room?” "My wife and three of her girl friends are trying to play whist with only forty-seven cards in the pack.”— Louisville Courier-Journal.

• COWBOYS OF SPAIN. Splendid Horeemen, but They U»e Their Spurt Without Mercy. The jierfectlon of Spanish liorsemanshlp is to be seen among the vuqueroa, gnnnderos and gnrrochistas, by which various nnmes the mounted herdsmen of the Andalusian plains are knownin brief, what we should call a cowboy. Every farm seems to maintain a large number of these, for each herd, flock or drove has its own herdsman, goatherd or swineherd, as the case may be. The vaqueros are a fine looking lot of men. Tall, thin, light and loosely made, they look Ideal horsemen, as, in point of fact, they are, though their mounts are poor. The vaquero rides very high on a huge saddle, with a long stirrup and straight leg, using a single rein and a very heavy curb, but he has such beautiful hands that, although using this barbarous bit, he never cuts his horse’s mouth about. It is different with the animal’s sides, however, for he uses his spurs without mercy, and the white horses—of which there are a large number—all have ominous red stains behind the girths. All the herdsmen who look after cattle carry a long lance, called a garrocha, of thick and heavy wood, which, except when standing still, they always carry “in rest” and not “at the carry,” presumably on account of Its great length and possibly its weight. With this weapon, in the use of which he acquires amazing dexterity, the garrochista is able to control the most unruly brutes in the herd, not excepting the savage fighting bull.—Wide World Magazine. BIRTH OF £ WING. Evolution of the Aquatic Pupa Into the Dragon Fly. Says a writer in the Scientific American: “A wonderful spectacle is presented by the sudden apparition of an Insect's wing at the completion of its metamorphosis. The transformation of the grub into the butterfly, though familiar, is none the less amazing, but the evolution of the active and gossamer winged dragon fly from Its ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa is still more Impressive. Early on a May morning the pupa emerges from Its cocoon at the bottom of a ditch, swims on Its back by paddling with Its long haired paws to the stem of an aquatic plant and climbs up out of the water. Then, after a momentary pause, the skin suddenly bursts open and the perfect insect appears, with closely folded wings, which soon unfold and assume their final form. “The older naturalists thought that the insect ‘swallowed air,’ with which the wings were Inflated. In reality the air is absorbed in the digest!tve organs, causing an increased blood pressure, which mechanically expands the wings. The presence of dew is also necessary; heifce the first flight is always made at dawn. “This spectacle of the birth of a wing may be observed in dragon flies reared In an aquarium, the atmosphere of which should be moistened with an atomizer* when the pupa rises to the surface.” Ego. An ego is a Latinized I. All men are created egos and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable somethings of which neither statute, ukase, edict, injunction, beggar, magnate, book agent nor promoter can deprive them. Be who steals my purse steals trash, but he who filches from me my ego takes that of which he already has enough and makes me not at all. Women without votes have egos and, strangely enough, would still have them if they secured the votes; hence egos are not a political issue. An ego is what a man is when he has nothing and is nothing else; that is to say. he is then first person singular and no particular gender. An ego is neither soul, liody, spirit, family, country nor race. It is neither moral nor pathological. A criminal has just as much ego as a parson and no more. Some egos are better than 'others, chiefly our own.—Life. Cockney Chivalry. There was a crush in the pit, and the anaemic looking girl stood with the late comers behind the last bench. The young man in front of her, comfortably seated, was not too absorbed in the musical comedy to note that the girl looked tired as she doggedly stood out the first act He rose when the curtain fell. “Would you,” he asked, pushing past her, “like to mind my seat while I go out for a drink?” The age of chivalry is not past.—London Chronicle. Individuality. To each intellect belongs a special power. We belong to ourselves, and we lose control of our own when we try to be some tone else. The original mind is a magnetic center for The attraction of other minds. But the lodestone loses nothing by attracion; It remains the same. — Ix>ndon New Age. A Goal Ho Had Navor Reachod. “You are the greatest inventor In the world,” exclaimed a newspaper man to Alexander Graham Bell. “Oh, no, my friend, I’m not,” said Professor Bell. “I’ve never been a reporter.”—Ladles’ Home Journal. Plain Talk. “Shave,” said the crusty person laconically. “Close?” inquired the barber. “No. I’m not close, but I’m not In the habit of giving Ups if that’s what you’re driving at.” He who reigns within himself and rules prejudices, desires and fears Is more than a king.—Milton. 1
