' The Divine Sarah find n Foroelul Way of
Expressing Her Anger.
"‘I notice,” said a local theatrical em-
ploye, “that Sarah Bernhardt is get-
ting fat. I hope it is sweetening her
temper. I remember a. little incident
that happened at the Lyceum theatre
when Sarah played her last engage-
ment here, and I can tell .you that it
gave me a wholesome" respect for the
talented lady. In “Cleopatra," in the
scene where the 'queen is reclining on
the couch, a footstodl should be placed
near her feet. Bernhardt was a terri-
ble stickler for all these little stage
details, and she never let the curtain
go up until she had carefully looked the
stage over. Well, on this particular
night She took a step or two from the
wings and ran her eye over the props.
Instantly she noticed that the stool was
at the head of the couch instead of at
the foot. She carried her own stage
manager with her, and, as she raised
her head in her usually queenly 'way,
She immediately located him. He was
standing-at the opposite side, with a
sickly smile on his face, rubbing his
hands nervously together. Sarah made
three tigress strides, and, grasping that
stool by a leg, fiung it fiercely at the
stage manager’s head.
“Like the less gifted of her sex, the
divine Sarah was a. bum thrower. The
stool missed the stage manager and one
of the 'hands caught it as it flew to one
side. He ran and placed it properly
and the play. went on.”—Cleveland

'B'ut if your guide were a native, he
would tell you that the sound was made
by a campanero, as they call it, al-
though to foreigners it is known as the
anvil bird.
This bird is '11 little larger than a.
thru‘s‘h‘. The plumage is perfectly White;
the eyes- are a pale grey color and the
naked throat and slain around the eyes
are of a fine bright green, while it's
more northerly relative is orange and
black, very mueh like our orible.
It is generally in the early part of
the day that the campanero sends forth
the wonderful note that can be heard
at '11 distance of three miles. Marvelous
indeed must be the mechanism of the
vocal organs of so 111111111 11- bird to pro-
duce so far reaching a note; but there
is no doubt of the fact, for many tray-I
elers have heard the strange sound ut-
tered by the bird when perched on the
topmost branch of some withered tree.

Iron Grows Tired.
A constitutionally lazy man is, in_ or-
dinary conversation, commonly said to
have been “born tired. " This capacity.
(or becomng fatigued b'y slight encir-
111m was always. supposed to be charac—
teris'tic of animate bodies; but the scii-
entists, who have been probing with
their microscopes, spectroscopes, and
other scopes into' the molecular consti-.
tution 0 steel and iron, and testing,
their strength under varying condi-
tions, have discovered that even such
inanimate objects grow tired, and pos-
itvely lose much of 'ther strength and
elasticity by long-continued subjection
to quite moderate stress or vibratons.
When allowed to rest for a tinre these
met-alsrecuperate and recover their
pristine strength. This statement may
seem fanciful, and even absurd, toiith'e
general reader, who is not» especially
well versed in scientific lore; but this
observaton has been made so often, and
has been so thoroughly proved by re-
peated laboratory tests, not only on a
small 'scale, conducted with the great-
est care and accuracy, but also upon
a large scale, with full-sized bridge
members and other commercial forces
of steel and iron, that it has become
generally accepted by engineers as a
positive and well-understood law.

THE " E vuni m
DANCERS SUPPLIED 'i'D ORDER. '
A London Dry Goods store Provides
Dancing Young Men to Its Customers.
Among the articles purveyed to its
customers by a mammoth London dry
goods store are young dancing men. In
London, as elsewhere, hostesses have
the greatest difficulty in, obtaining the
requisite number of male dancers for
their balls. Outside of the military.
dancing men form a very small minor-
ity of the regular residents in the me-
tropolis. On the other hand,tl1ere are
almost at all times plenty of-visitors in
London, young men Who came up for a
few days from the country or universi-
ties, who would be only too glad of the
opportunity to attenfi.‘ private ball but
are debarred therefrom owing to the
limited extent of their acquaintance in
the city. :
To obviate this difilculty ,and bring
the would-be hostesses and guests to-
gether, a. plan has been devisel by the
management of the big shop which is
said to work satisfactorily. When a
customer intends to give a ball and
finds that she will not be able to find
partners for all her women guests, she
notifies the "shop to supply her with a
specified number of young men. The
order'is filled through the medium of
a list wherein male visitors to the city
are requested to enter their names. Of
course the management of the shop has I.
to be very careful concerning the social
status of hosts andguests. It would
never do to send small tradesmen to the
house of a. woman of rank. This diffi-
culty is obviated by a system of tabu-
lation. The managers take care to find
out all about the hostesses and the men,
and, having satisfied themselves con-
cerning their position in society, ar-
range them in groups accordingly.
Thus everybody can be suited with-
out danger of unpleasant contretemps.
The Scheme is said to be profitable to
the store, for of course the young men
who are thus accommodated buy their
gloves, ties and other necessaries there.

DANGEROUS oooas.
One Smell of [Highly Concentrated Prussia
Acid Will Kill a Man.
' Some smells are dangerous. A single
sniff of highly concentrated prussic
II‘I. . acid will kill a man as quickly as a shot

The odor of. a bad
egg is due to the presence of sulphuret-
ted hydrogen and the objectionable per-
fumes, of Sewers’and bone factories are
attributable chiefly to the same gas.
Chemical laboratories are famous 'for
bad smells. Berzelius who discovered
the element called “selenium," once
tried the experiment of permitting a
bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas
to enter his nostril. For days after—
ward he was not able to smell strong
ammonia, the olfactory nerves being
temporarily paralyzed. selenium gas

purpose of purchasing the pearl, about
which so much had been said and writ-

from $5, 000 to $500, 000. It was thought
th. :t he might succeed in closing the
bargain for about $125, 000, but this
proved to be a great mistake. The sum
first offered was $50,000, but the deal
remained open for several days even af-
ter that offer had been increased to
$375,000. Finally the bargain was closed

Infantry Were First on Shoro.
Washington, June 24.-eFurther par-
tloulars in regard to the landing of
Shafter's army Iof 16, 000 men at Bai-
quiri, near Santiago, on Wednesday
nigh-,t as given in our dispatches of
yesterday, show the event to have
been one of the most remarkable of
modern times That the landing of
such a large '-body of men on hostile
soil could have been accomplished in
so short a. space of time and without
a single fatality or accident, seems al-
most incredible.
How It Was Accomplished.
A little before nine o’clock the bom-
bardment of the batteries of J1’1ragua
was begun by the ships of Bear Ad-
miral Sampson's fleet. This was evi-
dently a feint‘to cover the real point
of attack, Juragua. beinghalf way be-
tween Baiquiri and Santiago de Cuba.
The bombardment lasted about twenty
minutes.
'The scene then quickly shifted back
again to the great semi-circle of the
transport fleet before Baiquiri.
At 9.40 o’clock the New. Orleans op-
ened fire with a gun that sent shells
rumbling and crashing against the
hillside. The Detroit, Wasp, Machias
and Suwanee followed suit and soon
the hillsides and the valleys seemed
to be ablaze, as. shot followed shot in
swiftsucce'ssion amid the wild and .ex-
cited cheering of the soldiers on the
transports. I
In five minutes the sea. was alive
with fiIotillas of ,small boats headed by
launches speeding for the Baiquiri
dock. Some of the boats were manned
by crews of sailors, while others were
mwed-Ivby the soldiers themselves. Each
boat contained sixteen men, every one
infighting trim Iand carrying three
d-ays' rations, a shelter tent. a gun and
200 cartridges, ready to take the field
on touching the shore should they be
required to do so.
The firing of the warshipshhowever,
proved to be a needless precaution, as
their shots were not returned and no
Spaniards were visible. .
General Shatter, on board the Segu-
ranca, closely watched the landing of
the troops. .. 1
. The First to Land.
At 9.50 the first boat load containing
the men of the Eighth and First in-
fantry, started for the shore, followed
by the Twenty-fifth (colored), the
:’1_‘;ent‘h and Twelfth infantry, at _10. 10.
Predigi'ous cheering Jfrom the shore,
caught up by the nearest ships and fly-
ingI' from vessel to vessel through the
squadron, announced the mementous
fact- that the American artsy had be-
gun a landing on Cuban soil, the hon-
.01' of setting the first foot on the is-
" land falling to a “detachment 'of the
Eighth infantry that was towed ashore
by the tug Wampatuck.
This. 'important5 operation?“ thus suc-
cessfully completed Without. .loss of
life or accident, the troops on land
formed and moved up and away to
quarters without confusion. .A force,
of mounted Cubans, Which had been
under cover during: the bombardment,
now arrived and congratulations were
exchanged. '
IAt 11. 30 a detachment of the Second I-
Massachusetts volunteers started] for
the shore and by noon probably. threeII
thousand ,men had landed. Other de-I
Igtachments were following as rapidly as
'the steam '
launches could be made
available.
The sea was auspiciously calm and
the sky clear. A cool breeze was blow-
ing. The troops were in the- highest
spirits and thestrains of “Yankee
Doodle” were greeting every string of
boats going in.
An Immediate Advance.
An immediate advance will be made,
and as soon as the military forces are
in possession of the hills back of San-
tiago a combined attack by the fleet
and army will be ordered.
It is expected that before Saturday
Santiago, with all its fortifications and
the strong fleet under Admiral Cervera
will have fallen, either captured or de-
stroyed.
A Cuban who had deserted from the
Spanish ranks surrendered Thursday
night to the Marblehea'd, saying that
he was unable lenger to endure the
starvation rations issued to the Span-
ish troops. He declared there were
many others in the same condition and
anxious to surrender. It was expected
that a number would go aboard the
Marblehead yesterday.
Many Recruits R-jected.
