LIFELIKE FIGURES IN WAX . Well-Made Dummy le Mistaken for Sculptor’s Wife by VisitorBoy's Comical Error. "Yes,” said a man who turns out j waxwork figures for exhibitors and traveling shows, "the average sculptor In wax can relate many little tales to make you smllo. Not long ago I 1 made a wax figure of a beautiful young lady for a vaudeville actor for t use upon the stage. So long as the I ,face was handsome and the figure perfect, he did not mind whether She was .dark or fair, and told me to turn her 1 out to my own satisfaction. "On the day I completed the figure i I woe called away on Important buslnees, and during my absence the ar- ! tlste called. He was shown into my studio by my assistant, and, seeing the wax figure seated on an ottoman, ’ he said. ‘Good evening, Mrs. Blank!’ mistaking It for my wife, whom he , had never seen. As his greeting was , not reciprocated, he turned to my assistant and remarked, ‘Poor, Mrs. Blank! I had no idea she wae deaf and dumb! What an awful affliction!’ > "When he was told that the lady was of wax. and the figure he had ordered, his surprise knew no bounda. "A little boy who visited a waxwork show I ran onco came to the conclusion that everybody on seats who did not speak was a war figure. I He stared at an aged lady, who was seated, for several minutes, and then blurted out, *What an ugly old thing.’ He was greatly distressed when the Jady rose, called him a rude boy, and 'Walked away In high dudgeon.” TWO SIDES TO MAN’S NATURE Such Was Voltaire’s Explanation of Flagrant Contradiction So Fre- ' , quently Noticed. Voltaire, a precursor of the French Revolution, asked "why the same man, who has seen with a dry eye the most atrocious events, and even committed crimes with sangfroid, will weep at the theater at the representation of similar events and crimes? It is, that he sees them not with the same eyes; he sees them with those of the author and the actor. He is no longer the same man; he was barbarous, he was agitated with furious passions/ when he saw an Innocent woman killed, when he stained himself with the blood of his friend; he became a man again at the representation of It.” The question is much more Interesting than the answer, which is truly theatrical. Perhaps there isn’t an explanation. Carlyle does not explain, but states the fact that Robespierre of the Terror refused to take part In a legal proceeding that might hhve resulted in capital punishment M. Anatole France, Socialist, has said that a danger in loving your fel lowmen is that it is likely to insplrs a disposition to kill your fellowmen That may explain Robespierre. But the explanation remains unexplained. Hidden Secrets of Disease. Although measles and chickenpox 1 are about the most common diseases In every household, their germs have eluded the most elaborate attempts at detection. Back in the eighteenth century Jenner conquered smallpox with vaccination; but the most industrious search, for 30 years has disclosed no trace of the smallpox microbe. Medical men deal with an unknown agent today, just as Jenner did 100 years ago. Reed and Carroll showed how to conquer yellow’ fever; no one, however, has succeeded in Imprisoning any micro-organism of the disease. Scarlet fever, one of the most contagious diseases known, has also successfully hidden its secret. Pasteur, who discovered away to control hydrophobia, searched patiently for its organism, but did not find it Typhus fever, the scourge of American cities 50 years ago, still prevails In attenuated form; but no one has isolated its agent. Trachoma, a dis1 ease introduced chiefly by immigration, has also so far concealed Its definite cause. His Charge. A darky down in Georgia, In a thickly-settled colored district, was holding court as a magistrate for the first time, with a jury before him. This was his charge to the jury: “Genelemen ob de jury: Me bein’ a new squiah, dis am de fastest occasion on which I has been exquired to delibber a chawge to a jury ob my peeahs. It am not unnachered, deahfoh, dat I should be at some loss as ter what I really ought ter chawge yer. But after listenin’ adhesively tell all ob de testimony, an’ de able argryflaents ob counsels on bofe, sides ob de case, I has excluded dat I reckon erbout de bes’ t’ing dat I c’n do is ter chawge yer about a dollar apiece—an’ dat am de vehdick ob de cote. You c’n take de case.” —Pathfinder. Sleepy Guest Sues Hotel. Should hotel keepers bo held responsible for losses incurred by their • patrons because of the failure of hotel 1 servants to wake them in time? This question has been brought be- ' fore the Berlin courts in a suit by a commercial traveler, who declares that he missed a number of important business appointments because a hotel porter failed to call him. i The case has not yet been settled, but the Berlin hotel keepers have decided to protect themselves by posting in every room a notice that tho management declines responsibllty for late rising by its patrons.
