THIRTYW DOLLARS A SEAT. .
What Sedate PhlIadelphians Paid to See
Their Actors Play.
I Playgoers growl at the price of seats,
in the theater to-dmy, but let them read
what was charged in Philadelphia at
one time,.,as told- in the interesting new
volume of stage 1emmisoence, “Shake-
speare’s Heroines on the Stage,” and
then rest content. The story' is told' 1n
these words in the book:
. “In 1769, at Annapolis, ‘The Mer-
chant of Venice’ was produced by the
New American company, with Mrs. Os-
borne, the heavy tragedy actress, as
the heroine. .The' curtain rang up at
six p. m. in the ‘new’ playhouse. Gen-
tlemen who desired to pay out five
shillings sat,..pcrforce, in the pit or
upper boxes; those who could afford
seven shillings Sixpence chose the more
fashionable lower boxes. Some of
the cheaper seats were not easy of
access, if we may judge by this adver-
tis ement in the paper of the day: ‘Up-
per boxes are now preparing, the pas-
sage to which must be from the stage;
I it is, therefore, hoped such gentlemen
and ladies as choose to fix on these
seats will come before the play begins,
as it is not possible they can be ad-
mitted after the curtain is drawn up.’
“As for the cost of going to the theater
in the New York playhouse at this time,
that ran lower; gallery seats there sold
for two shillings each, pit seats for
four shillings, and the boxes, of which
there were ten, for five shillings. These
prices, however, were apparently very
moderate (whether they were in New
York shillings or sterling shillings)
compared with the prices at the Philaa
delphia theater in 1780, when fifteen
dollars was charged for the admission
[of a. child, twenty dollars for a gallery
seat, thirty dollars for admission to the
pit and fortv dollars for a. box; but
these later prices, it may be added,
were in continental money.”
SNAKE PILOT. ’ .
Glides Ahead of the Rattler to ‘Varn It
of Danger.
The rattlesnake has a pilot. The
purpose of this pilot has never been
satisfactorily explained, but it undoubt-
edly serves to protect him in some way.
It is well known, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, that the rattlesnake is a slug-
gish reptile, slow of movement and
short-sighted.
‘ He can strike only to the distance of
his own length, and is not of the con-
strictor species, fighting with his fangs.
He is not, therefore, dangerous, and
can be easily whipped bf: :1 blacksnake,
or any of the constrictor family. Even
adog can get the mastery over a rattle-
snake without much danger of being
injured.
The pilot appears like a. rattlesnake,
except that he has no rattle, and is
somewhat darker in color. He is also
of much quicker movement, and when
other reptiles or animals appear that
possibly might prove dangerous to the
rattler, the pilot, which is not so near-
sighted. conducts the latter away to a
place of safety.
Singular-1y, the pilot has received but
scant attention. except among the na-
tive people of the district Where it is
found, and but little is known about
him. The only species of rattlesnake
having the pilot for a guide is that
found in the mountains, the prairie rat-
tler has to look out for himself.
PLENTY OF HORSE DOCTORS.
__
Like Other Professions, That of Veterinary
Surgery Is Overcrowded.
“ ‘I don’t care to study law; they’re
too many in the profession now,’ you
often hear folks say,” remarked a law-
yer to a Philadelphia Call rep01.ter
“The same thing 15 said w ith refei ence
to medicine, and, in fact, all the pro-
fessions. That the statement is not
without ifoundation was shown the
other day by an incident on Eighth
street. A carriage horse had fallen to
the ground as the result of the oppres-
sive heat. In less than five minutes
there were eight or nine veterinary sur-
geons on the scene, each of them pre~
scribing different remedies to resusci-
tate the stricken steed. A great crowd
had gathered around and the excited
driver—he evidently valued the horse
very highly—remarked: ‘Well. who
would have believed that so many horse
doctors could be summoned in so short
a time?’ It has often been stated that
there are fewer practitioners in this
profession than in any other, but the
incident I refer to would seem to chal~
lenge the assertion.”
Foghorn Experiments.
A series of experiments with fog-
horns, which will piobably result in
systematic investigation, have recently
been made. In one of these a boat
steamed directly toward a lightship
from a. distance of four and ahalf miles.
At two and three—fourths miles the
sound of the horn became audible, and
at two and one-half suddenly increased
in loudness, and held the same inten—
sity until the boat was within two
miles of it. From one and three-
fourths to one and one-half the sound
could scarcely be’ hand, but after that
it at once increased and became so loud
that it seemed quite close to the ves-
sel. Here the steamboat reversed its
course, and the fluctuation was found
to be the same. Again reversing, the
sound disappeared and reappeared
after one and one-half miles, became
entirely inaudible at half a mile, reap-
peering again at a quarter of amile,
after which it steadily increased until
the light-ship was reached.
Had to Do It That Way.
On a New England farm not long ago
it was necessary to count a flock of
geese, and Pompey, a colored boy, was
stationed at a. little gate through which
the geese were to be driven and was
told to count them as they passed.
“One, two,” began Pompey, loudly,
“tree! Dar goes anudderl Dar goes
anudder! Dar goes anu'dder!” “What
do you mean by that!” demanded the
farmer, hurrying up to the excited
darky. “Why, "said the innocent boy.
“I cyant count no furder dan tree' 1n
numbers, massa, so I hub to do it dat
way!”

~ HIS ' MONKEY, ‘AQM‘IRER.:
Years of Absence Failed to Obnterete the
first Love of a Specimen from Borneo.
After a somewhat learned and very .
interesting discussion on the “Near-
ness of Animals to Man,” and Mr. Gar-
ner’s eiforts toward developing a mon-
key language, etc., some one told the
following story:
. "A young lad in a southern family I
know had a. half-gm wn black monkey
sent to him from Borneo. The crea-
ture, shy and strange at first, soon
showed himself respOnsive to kindness,
quick and'intelligent in learning the
usual accomplishments thought neces-
sary inamonkey education. He be-
came warmly attached to his youthful
owner, and the two friends might be
seen anywhere together, the Borneo
perched on the shoulders of young."
America, occasionally giving him an
afiectmnate tap on the cheek, or chat-
tering in his ear in the most human
way possible. After awhile it was de-
creed that Yokko’s master must be
sent north to school, and the desolate
condition of .. that monkey in conse-
quence was really pitiable—he grieved
and refused to be comforted for along
time, and then he suddenly became
mischievous. He played such tricks
and pranks that at last everybody’s
patience gave out and Yokko was dis-
posed. of and disappeared. _ .
“Years went by, and the young
southerner went from school to col-
Soon after his graduation he
was visiting in some western city——
Chicago, I thinks—and passing along the
streets one day he obscrv ed a. knot of
people gathered on a corner. He ap-
proached to see what it meant; sud-
denly a great black thing lighted on
his shoulders, his neck was closely
clasped and a little cold, black paw
was patting-and stroking his face with
such an abandon of affection, such an
excited chattering and murmuring as
completely bewildered the young man
for a moment.
“Of course it was master Yokko, de-
scended to the role of an organ
monkey, and after all the years, all
the travel and toil and change, he had
recognized his old young master! The
delight was mutual, and arrangements
were soon completed for the-repur-
chase of Yokko. Certainly if prompt,
swift}: decisive action is indicative of
something beyond mere instinct—of
intellect, in fact—that monkey had it.
And there wasn’t any, question as to
his ‘nearness to man,’ was there!”
Then a native man who was present
told the following:
“You know sailors are always fond of
pets, and on board a’man-of-war they
are especially so; there are always two-
or three, sometimes more, on board
and a ship in southern waters always
has a. ‘monkey and a. parrot.’ So at
Madagascar they brought a. big black
ape whom the men named ‘Majunga’
from the name of the poet. She was
tame, had had some teaching and al-
together was very well-behaved. When
she first came aboard it was necessary
to‘shut her up while we were getting
off, so a banana was put into an empty
chicken coop and Majunga went in.
While she was, apparently, absorbed
in peeling and eating the banana the
door of the coop was closed upon her
and fastened by means of a. big hasp
over 'an eye and a. big nail slipped
through. So, you see, the monkey was
safe. Now, a monkey is always on the
watch exactly at the moment when it
seems least so; it will look in every di-
rection but the one it needs to—appar-
ently. Consequently, Majunga. had
her back to the door all the time—
when she had finished the banana she
turned around and without one in-
.stant’s hesitation she put her paw
through the bars of the coop, lifted
out the nail, pushed open the door,
and mounted on top of the coop, laid
the nail beside her and with evident
interest watched what was going on.”

JELLYFISH PROTECTORS.
Under the:

Medusa.
A singular case of commensalism
(living on or with another) has just
been made known by M. Gadeau dc
Kerville. It concerns the young of the
marine fishes called false mackerel,
which are almost always found in com-
pany with the large medusae known as
rhizostomes. These young fishes swim
parallel with the long axis of the jelly-

‘ fish, and in the same direction as the
latter. They remain above, beneath
and behind the animal, but never ad-
vance beyond its umbel. It frequently
happens that some of them introduce
themselves into the cav1ties of the
jellyfish, and are. then visible from the
exterior, owing to the transparency; of
the host. Sometimes the school of
fishes wanders a‘few yards away from
the medusa, but at the least alarm, im-
mediately returns with great rapidity
to occupy its former position. It is
evident that the medusa. very efiica-
ciously protects the young- fishes by
means of its innumerable stinging
capsules. This is demonstrated by the
fact that when the fishes become
larger they no longer protect them-

In His Way.
Elder 'George Champlin was a.
colored preacher who exercised his
calling for many years in Rhode
Island. He was a. man of excellent
common sense and no little wit. At
one time some of his hearers com-
plained that he had been rather too
personal and severe in one of his ser-
mons. “‘ When 1 am preaching,” re-
sponded the elder with a shrewd
glance from his sharp eyes at the re-
monstrants, “when I am preaching, I
try to shoot right at the devil every
time; but if anyone gets between me
and the devil, why, of course, brethren,
he will be liable to get hurt. ”—Youth’s
Companion.

WANTED TO FIX THE ADDRESS.
She Would Have thn’s—Letter If She Had
to Wait All Night. ’
“No, sir,” said the clerk at the stamp '
window, “the life we lead is not what
people nowadays term a soft thing.
If you could spend a day here you
would not wonder why my hair is
turning gray at thirty.
“What worries me?” and the smile
with which he accompanied the words
was bitterness itself. “I’ll tell you
what worries me. A thousand and one
things! A thousand and one persons
of every age. character and de‘scripé
tion, dinning questions into my our
every minute in the day. ‘ And they
expect me to answer with unperturbed
amiability.
“Why, only last Friday,” he con-
tinued, ”a sour-faced old lady came in-
to interview me. It was about eight
o’clock in the evening, a. time when I
ordinarily have a little immunity from
torture, but when I saw her approach
Iscented trouble. ‘Young man,’ said
she, ’I dropped a letter in that place
an hour ago.’ ‘Indeed,’ I repliedypo-
litely, ‘that is the place for it.’ ‘I
know, but I want .it again,’ she re-
torted, ‘it wasn’t properly directed.’
‘I am very sorry. madam,’I expostu-
lated, ‘but it is against‘the rules for
me to return a. letter to anyone. If
your letter is deficient in address write
a. line to the postmaster of the place to
which it is going, and he will. see that
it is properly delivered. Besides there
are a. thousand or two letters in the box
and I could not find yours, even if it
were right I should do so.’ ‘Those rules
you speak about are all nonsense. I
must have that letter to John now,
so’s Ican fix the address.’ I was be-
ginning to get 31. little warm about the
collar; but I held out bravely. “It is
forbidden to return a letter, for what-
ever purpose, and‘I cannot do it,’ this
as graciously as I could, ‘and, as I
said before, I have no time to run
through a thousand or more letters’
‘What!’ she cried, shaking her parasol
in the window, uncomfortably near
my face, 'don’t you s’pose I know what"
You’re paid to do as
the public demands. And I tell you I
must have that letter. It’s to John
Wesley Dyer, Philadelphia, and I
shan’t leave till you hand it out, «if I
have to stay till morning. D’you
hear?’ I tried another argument. I
consented to search the receptacle for.
the letter and hand it to the postmas-
ter, whom she could consult in the
morning. But that would not do. She
must have the letter; she had put it
you’re paid for.
in there and would not stir a. step un- ~
til she had gotten it and fixed the ad-
dress. ’ '
"Making the best of a bad matter, I
went about the task of finding the
precious missive with, as good grace as
I could command, but, though ‘I
worked as rapidly as I'could, frequent
interruptions retarded my efforts, and”
half an hour had elapsed before I final-
ly unearthed it. I asked the woman
if it was the letter in_ question, and
she said it was, fairly snatching it
from my hand. And what do you sup-
pose was the alterationshe deemed so
imperative? Don’t know? Well, when
she returned the envelope to me she
had simply scrawled ‘In haste’ on the‘
corner of it, and when I had recovered
my senses I was conscious lhad broken
one of the commandments.’ --Wash-
