MOODS AND TEARS? One Woman'* Vleni About Weeping nt Theatrical Performances. “There is just this about crying at the theater,” said the average woman—"you'll cry if you're in the mood for iti i and you won't if you’re not, no matter j how harrowing or nonbarrowing the; play may be. Like most average worn , en, 1 rarely cry either at the theater or anywhere, but I long ago discovered that it depends entirely upon my mood at the time. I once went to a genuine comedy and found the tears fllling my eyes just because I happened to be blue at the time, and I've been at many a play with all the women round me mopping their eyes and drying their pocket handkerchiefs on their fans while I. being for some reason or other uplifted, sat there dry eyed, almost smiling. "No matter what my mood, however, the thing sure to keep me from weeping nt the theater is any emotional display on the part of her who Is with me. I can attend the weepiest kind of a play unmoved with my sister, for she starts in way ahead of time, making me feel more like laughing than crying. and then when the true lachrymose opportunity arrives it finds me pathos proof. This is the only way by which I may make myself immune from weeping at theaters upon all occasions.''—Philadelphia Inquirer. TIPPING IN LONDON. No End to the Fee* to Servitors In Heatauranta, As an old Londoner I have seen changes in the manners of the city which amount to a complete transformation. I remember well the time when there wasn’t really a good restaurant In all Ixmdon and when men had to be content with dining and supping in the back parlors of public bouses. You got very good food in those dark, low eellinged. stuffy rooms, and I remember when you were considered to be doing very well when you handed the somewhat time worn and ill elad waiter twopence or threepence as a tip. Nowadays you go into a restaurant which is palatial, and you see men, especially if they belong to the Stock Exchange. giving huge tips that in olden times would have paid the price of a whole dinner for half a dozen friends, j And the tipping never seems to end. I You tip one waiter for one thing and ; another for another, and you tip the , carver, and then you tip the man who gives you your wine, and as you are leaving you tip the porter who puts on your coat and the other porter who calls your cab. It Is. In fact, becoming almost impossible for men of moderate means to go to most of the restaurants of today.—M. A. P. HEAT AND MOTION. Various Theories About the Connection Between Theae Agents. The Idea that beat Is a kind of motion was entertained by Plato, who makes Socrates say: “For heat and fire which generate and sustain other things are themselves begotten by impact and friction, but this is motion. Are not these the origin of fire?” Bacon defined beat to be “a motion acting in its strife upon the smaller particles of bodies." Newton. Boyle and Hooke considered heat to be motion. Locke described it as “a very brisk agitation of the insensible parts of the objects which produces to us that sensation from whence we denominate the object hot; so what In our sensation is heat in the object is nothing but motion. This appears by the way b“at is produced, for we see that the rubbing of a brass nail upon a board will make it very hot.” Many scientific men have held heat to be matter, and In spits of Rumford's vigorous exposition of its fallacy this material theory h«Jd its ground until a comparatively recent date, when Sir H. Davy took up the subject and by his experiments proved conclusively that this view is unsound. Causeway ot Bendina Pillars. Nature has hewn many upright pillars from the rock at various prehistoric periods, but so far as is known she has completed but one group of bending pillars. The causeway at Staffs, in Scotland, is after this original design. The stone shafts rise perpendicularly to a height of fifty or sixty feet, when they curve inward in d long, sweeping line at once graceful ! and massive. In some places a perfect Roman arch has been formed in this w-ay. The formations are so symmetrical as to suggest the hand of the architect.

Antiquity of I'iea. ' Pins of various sorts have been In existence ever since our "first parents" clotbed themselves in palm leaves which grew wild in the garden of Eden. As a matter of fact, pins claim a very high antiquity, the earliest form being a natural thorn, which is still , used to some extent for fastening the dress by the peasant women of upper Egypt. In prehistoric times pins were also made of the small bones of fish and animals. Os Course Wot, “Mar-tage," remarked the morallzer, I "Is a lottery.” , "Yes," rejoined the demoralizer, "but It's one of the games of chance that clergymen do not try to discourage,”— Cincinnati Enquirer.
