I THE OLD CITY CHURCH. The moon and the stars were shining down On the silent streets of the mighty town, And I heard the bells from a distant tower Strike out the solemn midnight hour. And then, as I stood in the shadowsdim, There came the sound of an old, old hymn, And myheartwasfullofpeacefultears, As I heard the hymn of my younger years. ——The Quiver. BY THE LANTERN. [From the French of Eugene Marano. In 2814. At Mesnil-sous—Bois, in Champagne] In the little living room of the presbytery, where the closing day—a gloomy and cold one of April—gave only a doubtful light—- Mlle. Lys, the niece of the abbe, was ar- ranging in the bottom of the armure a sur- plice and other clerical garments. From the street there came up vague sounds of calling voices, and through the mist, like shifting fires, passed the unsteady gleams of moving lanterns. All at once in front of the house the pave- ment resounded to the tramp of many horses; the door knocker, rudely sounded, made glasses shake, and the voice of Jean Bigorne, the sacristan, was heard by the young girl, mingled with the clinking of spurs and con- fusion of sabers dragging over the pavement of the corridor. She raised herself, frightened, when the door was suddenly opened by the sacristan. Two men crowded past him, and he cried out, choking withanger: “Ah, the beggars! the scoundrels!” “Jean, what is it?” she asked. “What is it? It is the Cossacks, mademoi— selle!” and pushing forward he stopped,' seized one of the heavy silver candlesticks from a table and stood straight again. “It is also true that they call me Jean Bigorne, ex-sergeant of the Twelfth dra- goons, wounded by a bayonet at Arcola, by a saber stroke at Lutzen, almost killed at Marengo and nearly buried at Jena, and I do not advise you to advance, you others.” “Let them be, Jean, let them be,” said Mlle. Lys, very pale. ‘ “Let them be? But, mademoiselle, the abbe would never forgive me. It is not alone that this is God’s house—lot of brigands that you are—it is the church of M. Chanteloup, and because he is cure now it does not hinder that he was always my commander and got no hurt from you under the emperor.” One of the men advanced to repulse Jean. “A thousand thunders!” roared the sa- cristan; “if you touch me”— One hand was raised to strike when the grave voice of the Abbe Chanteloup asked: “Well, what are you doing, sergeant?” “M. Abbe—my commander”— “I have cautioned you not to swear such oaths. It is a habit of the regiment which you must lose in the service of God. What do these men want?” asked the abbe. “The officer has a billet of lodgment here for the night. A lodging—misery!” “It is well; give him a chamber.” “And which one, then?” “Mine,” said the abbe. Jean bowed his head and growled some- thing between his teeth. The Officer started to follow him to a room, when a gesture of the abbe detained him. “Do you understand French? Yes? Then a word, I pray. The man who receives yOu has been a soldier, as you are. He was five years a commander in the guard, and would be still if a ball had not shattered two fingers at Wagram.” And the abbe showed his right hand, which had lost its middle fingers. “N ot being able longer to aid the country with my sword, I have thought I might still aid it with the cross. I was educated in pro- found Christian sentiments, and have become a priest. And my ministry commands me to be today, between you and the country to which you come an enemy, an intermediary of peace and conciliation. ‘ Enter, monsieur. You are in a heme of a man without defense. My poor Jean is an old man, and my niece— come forward, Lys—is only a child. Before God, who pardons and punishes, I put my home under the protection of your honor as a soldier. Welcome, monsieur!” In the evening, near 10 O’clock, Mlle. Lys retired to her chamber. The Cossack officer had not yet returned to the house from the village through which his men were billeted, although the most of them looked in at the tavern, when Bigorne came to tell the abbe that a man, dripping with rain and covered with mud, had just arrived from two leagues away through the woods to ask that the abbe should go to his house, where his mother lay at the point of death and needed the last con- solation of the church. “I will go,” said the abbe. Jean Bigorne looked at him. “But, M. Abbe,” said he, “you cannot think of going at such an hour. The roads are bad, it rains like a benediction and is so black there that the devil goes with his tail down, my commander.” “Give me my hat,” replied the abbe. “But it is not God’s will! You will meet those brigands at all corners of the woods, not counting that evil officer that you leave here. Surely it is net prudent, M. Abbe; it is not prudent.” “Are you not here?” replied the abbe. “And he has not returned this evening, and may be on duty all night. .For the rest, I will be back in two hours. Prepare the holy oil, and tell J anniot at the tavern to saddle a horse for me. It is the good God who calls me to that friend who is going to him. Go.” “It is enough, my commander,” said Jean, resigned 1y. It was on the stroke of midnight when the Abbe Chanteloup returned his horse to the tavern and regained, across the sleeping village, the lane that led up to his house. As he walked‘ along by the wall of the church he heard a call: “Here, this way, M. A'bbe!” , “You, Jean! how are you there?” asked he, . astonished. “It is the officer, my commander. He re- turned and pushed me out when I .went to fasten the door. He is intoxicated, the scoun- drel!” At that moment a window of the presby- tery wa's opened and Mlle. Lys, all in her night garments disordered, with shoulders bare, leaned out; but a hand pressed upon her mouth pushed her back before she could utter a cry, and the smothered sound of a struggle could be heard in the street. The abbe threw himself like a madman upon the door that Jean shook also with a terrible push; the fastenings gave way and struck noiselessly against the wall; and'the two men flew up the stairs, near which Mlle. Lys had fallen senseless. “Jean,” said the abbe promptly, “carry her to her chamber and restore her to sense! You enter there, monsieur!” and he pushed toward another room, the door of which was wide open, the ofiicer whom that scene had sobered. _ _ Then, facing the culprit, and looking him straight in the eyes, the Abbe Chanteloup said: “Listen to me! At Ber-game, during the campaign in Italy, I was made lieutenant. The place was surrendered and one of my men, who had bravely done hisduty in that campai , that evening stole a watch. I had the re r shot. In Egypt my. orderly, a dragon who had helped save my life at the NORWALK ‘ struck a dervish who was coming out of a mosque. I had that man dismissed from the army. At Wagram, finally, I sur- prised the oldest Officer of my squadron, of. which I had been commander for five years, trying to ruin a woman. I myself killed the villain.” The CoSsack bowed, but said nothing. The abbe continued: “You are to your soldiers the example of discipline and honor. You have stained it, mousieur. If I had not arrived in time you would have committed here in my home an infamy—sullied a home which I left under the safeguard of your loyalty. It is neces- sary that you shall account to me; and if you refuse I shall compel you. Forget, then, that I am a priest, and remember only that I was a soldier.” The Abbe Chanteloup approached the wall and took down from its place under a cross the cavalry saber which had served him through the great wars. “Come, monsieur!” said he then. bring a lantern and follow us.” As they passed by the chamber where Mlle. Lys sat alone, sobbing, with her face between her hands, the abbe entered. “I have defended you from tears, my child,” he said. “Your father died fighting this shameless enemy—you ought then to be strong.” And then with the utmost tender- ness: “Embrace me, my little one!” The girl threw her arms around the abbe’s neck, who pressed her to his heart and then, disengaging himself, said: “Remain upon your knees, my child, and pray for him who is to die!” I The three men descended, traversed the vestry and the wings of the church, drowned in shadow, where the lantern of the sacristan scintillated like a little golden star. The abbe passed behind the great altar, made a sign before the cross, and pushed the creaking bolts of a low door, which opening permitted him to pass out into the Wet and cold night air. The stranger in passing the threshold struck his foot upon a stone, which made him slip. “Be careful, monsieur,” said the abbe. “We are in the field of rest and that stone is a grave.” They passed on under the great yew trees and the willows, where the grass reached almost to the knees, and halted behind a wing of the church. Looking around, the abbe said: “We shall be very well here. Jean, hang the lantern on a branch of that cross.” The sacristan obeyed. The lantern, swung by the wind, cast a shifting glimmer, which revealed the gloomy silhouette of the priest and the pale face of the officer against the great shadows dancing on the wall of the apse. The abbe made with his maimed right hand the sign of the cross and grasped in his left hand the hilt of his heavy sword. “Come on, monsieur,” he said calmly. The officer wiped his forehead, drenched with sweat, and slowly drew his sword. The two great blades touched and then, amid the surrounding silence, their flashes met in ring- ing blows. Meanwhile J can Bigorne, on his knees in the grass, and with his hands clasped, fervently repeated the prayers for the dying: “Suscipe, Domine, servum Tuum"— “I am hit,” said the abbe, partying a blow. The sacristan sprang to his side. The blade of the Cossack Officer in passing over the abbe’s wrist. guard had trave‘f'éed his arm and made a wound. “You cannot continue my commander,” said Jean. Then the officer stepped forward and said: “I cannot fight with a defenseless man, mon- sieur. You cannot hold your sword with that hand and the other is maimed.” “To your place I” said the Abbe Chanteloup, seizing his sword with his mutilated right hand. , “The crime you have committed ought to be Obliterated and I will kill the memory of it with you. Jean, take your handkerchief and tie this hand firmly to this hilt. The sword will never fall but with the arm. Now we will proceed, monsieur.” And then the fight recommenced, and with it the voice of Jean Bigorne, intoning the funeral verse: “Libera. domino, animam servi tui." Closer, without breathing time, hand to hand the furious fight went on, and the as- saults of the officer, more agile, upon the abbe. Slowly the old soldier parried that blade, which fell like a club. But he parried it, and at last he passed under the stranger’s arm, raised for a terrible blow, and thrust his own blade into his throat. “He has it, my commander!” And Jean Bigorne seized the lantern, drip- ping tearfully with rain, and held it near the face of the man stretched upon the ground. A red froth bordered the lips between the clenched teeth. "May God give you mercy as I pardon you,” said the Abbe Chanteloup, “nor leave you to suffer in soul or body I” And absolved the Cossack expired. “Jean, ‘ Feminine Tact. In a little episode of village life we had lately another interesting instance of femi- nine tact. Upon the conclusion of amar- riagc in a village church, the bridegroom signed his register with his x mark. The pretty young bride did the same; and then, turning to a young lady who had known her as the best scholar in the school, whispered to her, while love and admiration shone in her eyes: “He is a dear fellow, miss, but he cannot write. He is going to learn from me, and I would not shame him for the world.” Tobe able to say the right thing at the right moment is a great art, and said only to be acquired by those who have a natural talent that way. When a careless talker, who was criticising a young lady’s father severely, paused a moment to say, “I hope he is no relation of yours, Miss B. ,” quick as thought she replied with the utmost non— chalance: “Only a connection of mother’s by marriage. ”—Chambers’ Journal. A Fight with an Eagle. The two young sons of James Mean, of Roxbury, N. Y., had a fierce battle with a gray eagle which thev trapped. The bird was held in the trap by Its toe, and when one of the brothers approached the eagle flew a short distance, carrying with it the trap and a ten foot pole to which the trap was tied. Fearing that they would lose both trap and eagle, the boys attacked the bird, which thereupon made a vicious fight. It grabbed one of the boys with its hooked beak, threw him down and pounded him with its wings. The other boy grasped a club and shortly suc- ceeded in dealing the eagle a deadly blow on its head. The bird measured 7 feet 2 inches from tip to tip of wings. —- Philadelphia Ledger. No Difference of Opinion. It is characteristic of some good‘ natured men always to agree with those with whom they converse. It is with them apoint of politeness never to differ, which sort of polite- ness is certainly a very amiable kind of tact. We havea capital instance of the value of this policy in the sensible speech of the man who, during one of the Belfast riots, was asked by axmob what his religion was. He didn’t know whether his interrogators were Catholics or Protestants, but he looked at their weapons, their bludgeons and their fire- arms, surveyed all carefully and answered: “Gentlemen, I am of the same opinion as that gentleman there with the big axe.”— Chambers’ Journal.

ORAUFURD, Investments, Real Estate and Insurance, ROOM 2, MASONIC BUILDING. now To BECOMEIANACTOR IMITATNE FACULTY AND PHYSICAL FITNESS REQUIRED. Suggestions for Persons Ambitious to RI- val Booth, Barrett and Irving—Some of the Popular Errors—A Talk with a Master. “Acting can be taught as readily as music or painting,” said a well known actor and skillful stage manager, a man distinguished by his profound knowledge of everything pertaining to dramatic art. “To become an actor,” he continued, “the pupil must be able to recognize emotion and must have the imitative quality to represent it.” “You think, then, that any one can be taught to be an actor?” asked the reporter. “Yes, provided he has the imitative quality. Generally speaking, that is the sine qua non, just as the recognition of tone and time is to the student of music. There are exceptions to all rules, and I know men wholly destitute of imitative quality who are Very acceptable on the stage, simply because they do not try to act at all, but appear in their own persons just as they do in private life, being so for- tunate as to have parts which merely em— body their own individuality. If a man can appear gracefully as a gentleman in modern society he ought to appear to equal advant- age in the same character on the stage. Men of this kind sometimes achieve moderate suc- cess in the dramatic profession because they recognize all that they are capable of and do not strive beyond, it.” HOW TO TEACH ACTING. , “What method do you think the best for teaching the people to act?” “First of all make them understand defi- nitely what we mean by acting. To my mind it is the representation of human emotion by means of artificial and natural language. The former consists of the words which we employ as a medium to express our ideas. The latter is made up of facial express'on, gesticulation, tone of voice, quality and an- tity of voice, infiexion and modulation of voice and rate of movement in speaking. Natural language is universal, and is the same yesterday, today and forever among all the people of the earth. There is a German proverb which says: ‘Love understands all languages,’ meaning that the natural lan- guage of love is the same among all races and nationalities, and it is equally true of all other emotions. Artificial language is of many different kinds—French, German, En— glish. In acting, the natural and artificial language must be made to harmonize. This is what Shakespeare meant when he made Hamlet say to the players: ‘Suit the action to the word, the word to the action.’ “When the pupil has been made to analyze the physical effects of all the various emo- tions, and consequently the natural language in which they find expression, he should be taught their various grades and their mode of passing from one grade to another. Thus joy subsides, first into gladness, then into happiness; grief becomes sorrow, sorrow becomes sadness, etc. Let him then take up some dramatic author, read a passage, and, having decided what emotion it is meant to express, let him interpret the author’s artifi- cial language with appropriate natural lan- guage of his own. This should be practiced till he is as familiar with the natural language of all the emotions of the human mind as he is with the alphabet, and can represent every one of them by that language with as much readiness and facility as he can repeat the multiplication table. “When he has mastered the natural forms of emotional expression, turn his attention to the artificial ones. Artificial language should 1’ be most carefully articulated, that its every word may be distinctly heard by the most distant auditor. The most powerful voice is nil without distinct articulation. How often we see actors, clergyman and other public speakers who, though they have the voices of stentors, fail to make themselves understood simply because they have never learned to articulate their words clearly and distinctly. Though all graduates of colleges should un- derstand how to do this, I am surprised to find how many of them are wholly ignorant with regard to it.” so CALLED “FEELING.” “Well, admitting that all men can be taught to act,” said the reporter, “you surely do not think they can all be taught to act equally well; that every man can be taught to act as well as Booth, Barrett or Irving, for example? You . must allow something for gemus?” “Genius is simply an intensely earnest de- sire to do, with constant application to the doing. There is nothing beyond these. Any man possessing the physical requisites of an actor in the same degree with Booth, Barrett or Irving, and, having the same amount of imitative quality, can, by earnest desire and constant application, make himself as great Ambition and hard work—of which the latter, in the actor’s case, means study and practice—are the only factors of success in anything. Tom Moore says, in his ‘Life of Sheridanz’ ‘Labor is the father of all the great works in the world, whether in lit- erature or stone, poetry or pyramids.’ One great stumbling block in the way of actors is the false idea, so largely entertained both by themselves and by dramatic critics, that act— ing is a matter of feeling. Now, if the actor feels his part and merely portrays his own feelings he does not act at all, but that he does not feel it is proven by the fact that af- ter portraying emotion which caused serious illness and perhaps death to the character he is acting, he will completely recover his equanimity the moment he comes off the stage. “Dumas’ play of ‘Camille’ is founded upon a story of real life, and he tells us that the original of Camille, after the parting with Armand, was sick almost unto death for six weeks. Did any actress who has played Camille ever ‘feel’the part to that extent? I think not. Every Camille I have ever seen, after going through the most heartrending agony at parting with Armand, would come off the stage and immediately commence to rail at her dressing maid in good set terms for some real or imaginary fault. “The stories you hear about some actor so feeling the part of Richard III that he fancied himself really that personage and rushed into the street in his stage clothes, brandishing his sword and calling fora horse, are simply nonsense.”—Washington Star. Civilian Control. Our system of military administration has been growing more and more civilian in character since the days of Wellington. Then the commander-in-chief had far more power and influence in the decision of military ques- tions than at present. Then the supply of guns, arms, ammunition and of all sorts of military" materials was in the hands of an ofiicer selected on account of great experience in war. He' was styled the master general of the ordnance. He was a member of the gov- ernment and often a cabinet minister. He was, in fact, the adviser of the government do all military matters. That office was abolislwd, and at present all this duty of sup- ply, which requires great technical training and military experience, is relegated to a civilian member of parliament. Soldiers don’t think the arrangement a good one.— Gen. Viscount Wolseley, K. P., etc., in Bar- per’s Magazine. . bowl. CONCERNING PLUMBING. Something That Is by Many Regarded as a Necessary Evil. By a. great many people plumbing work is regarded as a necessary evil. As to its being necemary for comfortable and economical living there can be no doubt. As to its being an evil, that depends. There is no reason why all plumbing work should not be safe from a sanitary. standpoint. There is no rea- son why there should be vexatious plumbing bills to disturb one’s peace of mind and de- plete his pocketbook. Plumbing work may 'be laid out and executed in a way to be en- tirely safe and economical of maintenance. There are a few principles which one needs to consider in order to bring about the re- sults above outlined. All plumbing work is essentially a system of water supply drainage from the house, and the attachments to the drains are the fixtures, such as kitchen sinks, water closets, wash stands, bath tubs and laundry tubs. All of these fixtures have con- - nection with public ER or private water . supply or both. The drainage from the fixtures and t h e i r connection therewith is the ' part of the plumb— , ing work requiring the most skilled at- tention. The main ‘ drain outside of the house has direct connection with a vault or sewer. It is important that the inside connec- “s” TRAP. tion with this drain I be such as will prevent the passage of the contaminated air of the sewer or vault into the house. This is done in two ways. First, the fixtures have a trapped or water sealed connection with the drain. Second, the air in the drain has an exit above the top of the house. This is done by continuing the drain above the roof. This is what is known as drain ventilation. All drains with all fixtures should be ventilated in this way. The “S” trap referred to gets its name from its form, which is illustrated by the sketch. The drain water comes down through the trap frOm above into the lower part of the bend and then upwards and again down- wards and into the drain. Thus there is a certain amount of water always in this trap. This water is called the seal. The depth of the seal is dependent upon the depth of the bend in the trap. It will be seen that the air would have to pass through the water to get into the house. There are many conditions under which the trap would fail to act. The water may be siphoned out, may evaporate, or it may be- come contaminated from long connection with the air in the drain. The ventilation of the drain and the ventilation of the trap re- duce this risk to a minimum. There are hundreds of different kinds of traps, but they are all constructed on the same principle. They are all largely dependent upon the water seal for protection to the inside of the house. Abundant flushing is highly important as a precautionary measure. Flushing means a discharge of large quantities of water through the traps and drains. The frequent use of plumbing apparatus contributes to its safety from a sanitary standpoint. Sketch No. 2 is of a water closet of_a wash- out pattern. There a re hundreds of makes of w a t e r closets constructed in this way. The body of the closet is of porcelain. The upper part is a large bowl, having an “S” trap con- nection with th e soil pipe. The seat is of w ood an (I there is a flushing tank above. This has a 1% inch con- nection with the When the closet is used the chain handle is '5'»- pulled and the bowl‘ is flushed with a large quantity of water. This is the simplest and best type of water closet now in use. It will be no- ticed that the closet proper is entirely ex- posed to view. Sketch No. 3 shows a modern washstand. It is carried on brackets made of marble or iron, the top and back are marble, and the bowl of porcelain ware. It has a standing over- flow at the back and inside of the bowl, this bowl having a straight back rather than a true semi-spherical form, as is common. The WASHOUT CLOSET. MODERN WASHSTAND. ordinary waste, which is in the back of the bowl, becomes foul from rancid soap which accumulates therein from time to time. The standing overflow mentioned here can be lifted out at any time and washed. It also acts as a waste when one desires to drain the water from the bowl. By merely turning the little knob at the top an opening is formed. An objection to the plug and chain waste is that the chain gets foul and is never perfectly clean. After it has been used once it is foul for use next time. It will be ob- served that in this instance the entire under part of the washstand is left open. The bath tub shown in sketch No. 4 is of iron, porcelain lined. They are made Of planished copper, solid porcelain and cast iron unpainted. The copper tub is the cheap- est; the porcelain the best. The iron, porce- lain lined, is a very agreeable compromise. It has the standing overflow, same as that described for washstands, and this tub is not cased at sides or ends any more than is the washstand and water closet described. The kitchen sinks have been described be- fore. The laundry fittings will be considered at some other time. LOUIS H. GIBSON.
