THEATRE AUDIENCES.
. .. - •
I A Sermon For Thooo Who Arrivo La to
and Depart Early.
It Is one of our most hallowed na
tional customs not to go Into a theater
nntil the curtain has risen If b.v some
I stupid blunder we Inive arrived puuc
i tually we smoke a cigarette in tbe
i lobby.
So the cunning playwright takes care
not to start his story until at least five
i minutes later. He occupies these five
minutes with a colorless scene of some
kind just to keep the groundlings
amused. In some eases he will begin
each act in the same way It depend!
on how fashionable bis audience is ami
bow thirsty, i'or a converse reason he
must finish his play five minutes be
fore the flnai curtain falls
Another of our national customs is
to leave the theater the moment Ed
win Ims embraced Angelina, although
the author may have reserved a quaint
; comedy touch or a dramatic surprise
‘ for tbe actual end.
It Is no use altering the hour of |>er
■ formuuce. Begin at midnight if you
like; we shall nut come until five min
j ntes after. Leave off at 10; we shall
i go out five minutes before. It Is in tbe
! blood. The Idea that an audience owes
! any consideration to authors or actors
J is entirely foreign to us. Tbe very
, suggestion of it is almost an tmperti
i neuce.—l>ouis N. Parker in New York
! Times.
I IN All ANDEAN CAPITAL
i They Hava Quaar Ideas About Bath
ing Place* In Colombia.
Ibague. capital of the Colombian
province of Tottroa. claims 2.300 souls,
but tbe count takes much for granted
It hi a aQuare cornered town of almost
■ wholly thatched one story buildings,
! ita wide streets .atrociously cobbled and
its few sidewalks woru perilously slip
| r>ery and barely wide enough for two
feet at once.
A stream of crystal clear water gur
gles down every street through cobbled
gutters, lulling the travel weary to
sleep and furnishinga. convenient
means of washing photographic films.
We drank less often, however, after
| we bad strolled up to tbe end of tbe
i mountain and found three none too
handsome ladies bathing in the reser
voir.
It Is a jieaceful. roomy place where
every one has unlimited space on tbe
grassy, gentle sloi>e to put up bis little
chalky, straw roofed cottage, yet all
toe tbe street line as if fearful of
missing anything that might unexpect
edly pass. Foreigners seem to l»e a
great novelty, and I could find no sat
isfactory.. reason w’by so many Iba
guenos were blind unless they bad
overindulged themselves in tbe nation
at game of staling.—Harry A. Franck
in Century Magazine.

Red Foxes Mate For Life.
Since the days of Aesop's fables tales
of foxes and I heir doings have had
their place in literature as well as in
the foik lore of the countryside. Many
of their amazing wiles to outwit pur
suers or to capture their prey give evi
dence of extraordinary mental powers
Their bill of fare includes many items,
such as mice, birds, reptiies. insects,
many kinds of fruits and on rare occa
sions a chicken.
Ked foxes apparently pair for life
and occupy deus dug by themselves in
a secluded knoll or among rocks. These
deus. which sometimes are occupied
for years in succession, always have
two or more entrances opening in op
posite directions, so that an enemy en
feting on one side may be eluded read
lly. The young, numbering up to eight
or nine, are tenderly cared for by both
parents.—National Geographic. Maga

High Coat of Living Problem. >
Every legislative body would do
well to consider ways and means of
increasing agricultural production and
of utilizing farm products which now
go to waste as a step toward solving
the high cost of living. Science alone
can solve the problem, and no time
should bq lost in setting science at the
task. Some of tbe best brains In the
country are studying agricultural eco
nomics. More should be employed In
the same manner at once. We must
find some way to Increase tbe yield
of food products, not only per acre, but
per man. and we must try to utilize
material which now goes to waste. -

Courses and Dishes.
Three courses seem to have been the
.customary menu in medieval times for
a state banquet, less ceremonial feasts
comprising only two and no private
dinner more than one. Bpt each course
might comprise from eight to a dozen
different dishes. Thus at tbe wedding
banquet of Henry V. there were only
three courses, yet over thirty different
dishes are mentioned in the records.
Irrespective of fruits and wines.—Lon
don Chronicle.
