Some People’s Hard Trials.

A new scheme is proposed by a New York theatre, whereby people who .buy certain seats will be requested to remain in them during the performance. There are people who can sit two hours without a cocktail and they, by ■ sitting together, will not be annoyed by those polite wife beaters who need rum every hour. This is intended to be more ironic than comic, for there is no theatre as yet that has adopted this plan, but I am hoping that they will do so some day. The American custom of insisting on every true friend joining you when you drink may be considered as a relio of crude civilization, but what do you think of asking strangers to st nd up, I both men and women, while you walk over their feeton your way ont :md over their corpses on your way back from your drink ?—Bill Nye.
