The term was first used, however, for the route from Europe to India via Egypt, the desert and Suez. It was in conlrmllw} tinction to-the Cape route (by the Cape of ,Good Hope), which was by | water only. It became more applic- able In 1837, when the route was across the European continent by Mare in 1845, when that by Trieste vas followed, and in 1872, when that yia the Mount Cenis tunnel and Brio- | disi came into use.

There was a time, shortly after the first theater was opened in London, when the opposition ta the new form | of entertainment was so great that | an ordinance was passed by parlia- ment for the 'compulsory closing of these “palaces of amusement,” and | making it a crime to be present as a spectator at a play. This was in 1642, when only two theaters existed in London. The first | building specially erected for dramat- fe purposes was built by an actor, James Burbage, at Shoreditch, in 1576, and called the Theater. A year or so Curten was opened, also at Shore- ditch, and these two playhouses ca- tered to London audiences untll the ! suppression of the theaters. | q plays were once more per- | including the Globe, mt Southwark, | which was built by James Burbage, | the Rose and the Blackfriars and | Whitefriars theaters. Probably the most luxurious of these early theaters was the Fortdne, built by Edward Alleyn, an actor, in 1509, and so christened because It cost its owner the then fabulous sum, Includ- ing the ground it stood on, of £1,320. The only illumination during the per- formance was that afforded by candle- light,) gas being unknown until 1817, when' the first performance by gas- light was given at Drury Lanoe.

So the lady of the house consulted the cook. “What about that crate of pigeogs out in the barn?” asked the cook. “How many are there¥ 'asked the lady. [} “About eighteen,” was the answer. “Well, wring their necks and fix them up.” “Dirner was served and the large platter of squabs was brought to .the table, * “What's that?’ exclaimed the doc- tor. “Now, Fred, just go ahead and serve,” sald his wife. “But what are these?” he expostu- lated. /“Just some pigcons we found In the _Excelsior basketball aggregation which won the indepen- dent championship of the North Excelsior and the Bemidji west 1918-1919.

The wood of the mangrove tree which is found in French Guiana, is’ considered by the French as a wood that will not rot. 11 exposure and efforts to break ‘dow its fiber in four years' experiments by the French rail- way service have been useless. The 'grain of the wood is so close as practically to exclude all moisture. Its density is placed at 110, as against 40 for fir and 70 for oak, In addition to this closeness of fiber the man: grove has a large amount of tanning, in its composition.

Both gave thelr lives not only to letters but to af- fairs, and both were honest and high- minded. Johnson wrote “literary Eng- lish,” Fesonant, sonorous, even-flowing, in long antithetical sentences. Frank- lin wrote in the language of the' peo- ple—familiar words and short, immeé-" diate, homely sentences. Today John-: soii is known chiefly because he is,the subject of the greatest biography ever written, but Franklin is studied as a master of forcible living. English.= Youth’s Coang?llon.'

NERVE OF WIW HE GIYS ALLTHE MONEN AND \'00 ALL THE WORKY Ben Franklin Took Poker Into Paris. In Paris poker was first fntroduced by Benjamin Franklin, first United States ‘ambassador, who taught mem- bers of the court that poker had dom- inoes beat a mile. To this day a group of white-haired™ Frenchmen, ‘descend- ants of the clud Franklin founded, meet every night at six o'clock on the first floor of the Tavern Royale and play poker, with mary ejaculations; and the-most absorbed_seriousness un- til'it is time for dinner. They num: ber among them two milliopaires, the head of a famous dressmaking firm, & senator and & famous Socialist a1 and they play with sous as chips and a limit of 50 centimes—about 7 cents at present rate of exchange—on the game.- _One of Franklie’s peculiarities was a contention that a flush beat a full house, and even now the, majority of. Frenchmen play that way. 3ubacrt for The Daflly ‘Ploneer.
