Mmny of the peculiar effects produced upon the stage, imitating moonlight, sunlight, thunder, wind, rain and other natural phenomena, are a puzzle to those outside of the business. How such real­ istic representations of those thiugs as are often witnessed upon the stage can be mode is a question that often enters the mind of the spectator, and is seldom answered in a satisfactory manner. It is always the ambition of scene painters and stage carpenters to devise improved methods of imitating these things, and henca the stage may be said to try to hold the mirror up to nature in a ma­ teria^ as well as a moral sense. Au­ thors, in wilting plays, are always on the looiiout for an opportunity to pro­ duce a telling effect. The amount of work bestowed uixrn their production in a theater is simply astonishing to those unacquainted with that mysterious realm known as " behind the scenes." Thunder is a common stage effect, and is used with great advantage in many plays. In former days it was produced by shaking a largo piece of eheet-iron hung immediately above the prompter's desk. This contrivance pro­ duced a go»d imitation of sharp, rat­ tling thunder, but failed to give the dull roar which is always heard in storms. A contrivance for this purpose was soon invented. A heavy box frsrne is made, and over it is tightly drawn a calf skin. Upon this the prompter operates with a stick, one end of which is padded and covered with chamois skin. A flash of lightning, produced with magnesium, and a sharp crack of the sheet-iron, fol­ lowed by a long decreasing roll upon the "thunder drum," produces an effect which is startlingly realistic. Travel­ ing companies are compelled to be sat­ isfied with the Bheet-iron alone; and"the tragedian who enters a theater provided with a complete thunder apparatus al­ ways is bappy to think that his battle with the elements in "King Lear" will be worth fighting. The rain machine in large theaters is a fixture placed high in the •' flies." A cylinder in made of "half-inch" wood. It is usually five feet in circumference, and four feet in length. Upou the in­ side are placed rows of small wooden teeth. A lot of dried peas is placed in the cylinder, a rope belt is run round one end of it and down to the prompter's desk, and is it ready for a drenching shower. By turning the cylinder, the peas roll down between the teeth, and the noise produced by them makes a good imitution of rain falling upon a roof.. A sudden pull of the rope, ac­ companied by a gust on the "wind ma* chine," gives tin; sound of the sweep of a blast of wind during a storm. Trav­ eling companios often meet with thea­ ters where there is no wind machine. A sutliuiently-good one, however, is easily produced. A common child's hoop is obtained, and a sheet of brown paper is pasted on it after the manner of a circus-rider's balloon. A handful of bird-shot is placed npon the paper. The " machine " is canted from one side to the other, and the shot rolls around the paper, producing a fairly-good rain effect. Wind is an item that is very useful in heightening the effect of stage storms. It is often dispensed with in theaters where strict attention is not paid to de­ tails, but not without a loss of "real­ ism. " It has, moreover, a great influ­ ence over the feelings of spectators. The wind maeliino is constructed in this manner. A heavy frame is made, in wliiehis set a cyliuder provided with paddles, and resembliug very much the stern-wheels seen on Ohio river tow- boats. Across the top of this cyliuder is stretched as tightly as possible a piece of heavy gros-grain silk. This silk re­ mains stationary while the wheel is turned by a crank. The rapid passage of the paddles across the surface of the silk produces the noise of wind. Often traveling companies are in theaters where there is no wind machine. Then the property man groans audibly and proceeds to do what, in theatrical par­ lance, is called " faking" the wind. He selects a heavy piece of gas hose, called by stage men "flexible," and, finding a quiet corner where there is sufficient «pace to swing a cat without danger--to the cat--he whirls it around his head with the greatest possible rapidity. This method produces very satisfactory results --to every one but the property man. He is a long-suffering person ; but the extraction of wind from " flexible" causes him to find life tedious. Every one has heard the startling crash that is produced when the hero kicks the villain through a four-inch oaken* door. One would think that not only the door but the villain must be com­ pletely shattered. This noise is pro­ duced by the crash machine, one of the oldest implements of imitation still used on the stage. It is similar to the wind machine in construction. A wheel with paddles set at an angle of alwut forty-five degrees to the radii is the main part of the machine. Upon the top of the wheel one end of a stout piece of •wood is pressed down by fastening the other end to a portion of the frame-work. When the wheel is turned, the slats Sussing nndT the stationary piece pro-nce a rattling crash. The principle of the machine is illustrated by the small boy who runs a stick along a paling fence and is gratified by introducing into the world an additional morsel of hubbub. There is nothing that can be so well counterfeited on the stage as moonlight scenery. And yet there is nothing which requires more work. The artist begins the task by painting a moonlight scene. In daylight such a fc na is a ghastly sight. It is done in cold grays and greens, in which Prussian blue and burnt umber play an important part; and the lights are put in with white slightly tinged with emerald green. The strong moonlight of the foreground is produced by a calcium light thrown through a green glass. The fainter light upon the scenery at the back of $he stage is obt lined from " green me­ diums -a row of argand burners with green chimneys. These are placed upon the stage just in front of the main scene, and are " masked in" from the view of the audience by a " ground piece." A tow of them is often suspended from the " flies," in order to light the top of the scene. This upper row is masked m by "sky borders." Thus a soft green light is thrown over the entire dis­ tance, while its source do^s not meet the view of the spectator. A usual feat- are of stage moonlight scenes is water, because it affords an opportunity for the introduction of tue "ripple" -r-a charmingly natural stage ef­ fect. The main scene in a moonlight view is always painted on a "drop"-- that is, a scene made like the curtain let down between the acts. The posi­ tion of the moon being determined, im­ mediately under it, beginning at the horizon, a number of small, irregular holes are cut in the drop. These are then covered on the back with muslin and painted over on the front to match ,tlie rest of the water. Behind these holes is placed an endless towel, about eight feet in length, running around two eyiin- ;ers, one at the top and one at the bottom. The lower cylinder has a cr nk by which the towel is turned. In this towel is cut a number of holes similar to those in the drop. A strong gas- burner is placed between the two sides of the towel. When the machine is turned the flashing of the light from the passing holes in the towel through the stationary ones in the drop produce a fine ripple. It is always better to turn the towel so that the holes pass upward, as that helps to make the mimic wave­ lets seem to dance up toward the sky. Instead of a towel a large tin cyl inder lias been used, but it is cumber­ some and noisy. It is necessary to turn this towel with great steadiness ; other­ wise the ripples will go by fits and starts, and entirely lose their natural ap­ pearance. Stars are easily put into the sky. Each twinkl ng orb consists of a spangle hung upon a pin bent into a double hook. The slightest motion of the drop causes these stars to shake and the flashing of the light upon them pro­ duces the twinkle. One of the most beautiful effects pro­ duced upon the stage is the change from day to night, or from night to day. Of these the former it the more striking, and a description of it will serve to ex­ plain the principle of both. In order to produce the proper effect, the back ctop is made nearly double the height of the usual scenes. The upper half of it is painted to represent a suuset sky, and the lower half to represent moonlight. It is hung so that the upper half alone is visible. The scenery of the distance is then painted upon a separate piece, which is " profiledthat is, the irregu­ lar line of the horizon made by trees, mountains or houses is sharply cut out with a ci&ular saw. This piece is placed immediately in front of the sky drop. A few feot further in front is hung what is known as a cut gauze drop. This has sides and top of canvas painted as the case requires, white the center is filled with fine gauze which lends au aerial ef­ fect to the distance. Rod "mediums" are employed to give a soft, sunset glow to the scene. At the proper moment, the back drop is very slowly and steadily hauled up, while the red mediums are slowly turned off and green ones turned on. The moon is made in the night half of the sky-drop, and rises with it. When it rises above the distant horizon, the green mediums are turned on to their full power, and the green calcium light is brought into play. The effect of this cliange, when carefully managed, is always very beautiful, and is sure to draw forth applause from an audience. Moonrise, in a scene where ihere is no cliange from daylight to darkness, is of- t^n produced with a muslin drop and a " moonbox." The muslin drop is paint­ ed to repreeentthe sky, the clouds being painted on strips of canvas cut in the required shape and sewn on. The moon is made with a box on one side of which a circular hole is cut. Over this hole is pasted a piece of white muslin. A couple of wires serve to draw the moon up tvard. Of course the white illuminat­ ed circle shows plainly through the mus­ lin sky, but disappears when passing be­ hind the canvas clouds. By having an­ other piece of muslin painted red and imperceptibly fading to white, placed at the back of the drop in the ihoon's patli, the orb of night can be mode to appear red at the horizon, and gradually cliange to pale yellow as it sails slowly upward. Floating clouds are easily imitated by hanging in front of the sky drop a gauze drop upon which are sewn muslin or canvas clouds, and moving the whole slowly. An ocean of heaving waters is made in this way : Each bounding wave is cut out separately. The first row is 6et up with a distance of three or four feet be­ tween each billow; and the second row is set so as to show in the oj>enings left by the first. Small boys furnish the motive power. The waves are rocked back and forth, not from side to side; and the effect is very good. The noise of water rolling upon a beach is well im­ itated in a simple manner. A box of light wood is lined with tin. By putting two or three ounces of bird-shot into this and causing it to roll around, the desired sound is produced. Fire scenes are sometimes dangerous ; but with proper care they may be ren­ dered comparatively safe. That they are not so hazardous as is generally supposed by the uninitiated l>ehohh r may be learned from the following descrip­ tion : One of the most familiar fire scenes is that which occurs in the " Streets of New York," in which a tllfree-Btory house burns down, the roof caving in, the shutters falling, and the walls breaking with a wonderful appear­ ance of realism. The house is painted on three separate pieces, the top one of which is swung from the flies ; this con­ stitutes the roof. Upon the eocpnd is painted half the wall, and it is joined to the bottom piece in an irregular zig-zag line. The simple dropping in succcssion ol these pieces to the stage product s the falling Of roof and wall. The fire itself is represented by chemical red fire and powdered lycopodium used separately, the former to give a red glow and the latter to represent flames. The shut­ ters, which are to fall, are fastened to the scene with a preparation called "quick-match." This is made of pow­ der, alcohol and a lamp wick. The win­ dow frames and sashes are made of sheet iron. They are covered with oakuo soaked in alcohol or naphtha. These sallies and frames are not fastened to the canvas scene at all, but are placed a short distance behind it upon platforms. The quickest possible touch of flame ignites the oakum, and, in a moment, the fire runs around the sash and nothing is ap­ parently left but the blackened and charred wood. Steam is used to repre­ sent the smoke that issues from the cran­ nies in the walls of the burning build­ ing ; and an occasional crash, followed by the ignition of a little powder to pro­ duce a sudden puff of smoke, gives the spectator an idea of a falling rafter. Be­ hind the entire soene is plaoed a very large endless towel upon which is paint­ ed a mass of flames. This is kept in constant upward motion; and, when viewed through an open window in the house, gives a good idea of the suppo^ed raging furnace within. Add to these things a real fire-engine on the stage, a host of yelling supernumeraries in dis­ carded firemen's uniforms, and the spec­ tator is easily filled with a sense of tre­ mendous danger. Nevertheless the only flames upon the stage are those arising from the burning of lycopodium in a " flash torch ;" and they are only al­ lowed to blaze up for a second or two at a time. Fires in theaters, resulting from a file scene, are usually caused by care­ lessness in handling the powder which is used to produce puffs of smoke. Pntnam and Longfellow. "When we were at Putnam," the man on the woodbox said, "do you know we forgot to go and see the clen where Putnam killed the wolf ?" " Well," the fat passenger said, " I have been there, and I don't take much stock in that wolf business. I tried to crawl into the den. I could lie down on my face and put my head in, but, as for going clear inside, why, Putnam could not have squeezed in. It is--" " But," said the tall, fTiin passenger, " you must remember that Putnam was only a man--" he paused and repeated, timidly, " lie was only a man--" " Yes," snarled the fat pwesenger, "he was a man, but he' wasn't a snake." The tall, thin passenger replied thai j he only meant to suggest that, a man I eoulw. go where a cow couldn't. | The fat passenger said, " Yes, he knew that, but any man who would crawl through a crock in the sidewalk after a lost nickel wasn't exactly the kind of a man to tackle a wolf in the dark." The tall, thin passenger began to say something about a wolf being perfectly safe in the Mammoth cave, if some men were trying to get in after it, but the train reached Boston just then, and that dangerous discussion was abruptly closed. Next day, when we were running out of Boston, we passed through Allston, and lo! the biggest sign in till the town looked upon us from alx>ve the windows of a grocery store: " Henry W. Long­ fellow, fine groceries." "I always did wonder," remarked the sad passenger, " if Longfellow made all his money out of poetry ? " " I wonder," said the cross passenger, "if he stanzas high as he does as a poet?" " If you could have crowded a few more ases in there," said the passengei with the goatee, " you might have start­ ed a Government corral." "Four ases is a mighty good hand," said the man on the wood-box, but no­ body understood what he meant. " That, isn't really the poet Longfel­ low's grocery, is it ? " asked the tall, thin passenger. " It's his name," said the fat passen­ ger. " Let us soap it doesn't teas him." " That accounts for some of his versi­ fications," said the sad passenger. " How's that ? " "Ex ham meter," was the chilling reply. "Arma, virumque can fruit," mur­ mured the tall, thin passenger. This sort of thing would have gone on perhaps to the end of the run if the conductor hadn't come along. We soon heard the man on the wood-box explain­ ing to him that at the last general dis­ tribution of tickets he had been left out, but--etc., etc. And as the conductor only shook his head over the etc., etc., and glanced thoughtfully toward the bell-cord, we hastened to chip in and help the man on the wood-box out. He said he was glad we did, l>ecause the con­ ductor was just going to.--Bob Bur- detle. _ Father is (jetting Welk My daughters «av : " Haw much better father is fine© ho used Hep Bitters.

A great many people make themselves unhappy by needless suspicion aud jeal­ ousy. They cannot reason themselves v>ut of it, for as Shakespeare says: Jealous ttoulx will nut tie annweied to, They are nut j •iilous for a caii!>e, ButJi aUmi for ih -y'rt jealous. It is therefore more easy to ridicule jeal­ ousy than to argue with it. An old Ger­ man who lived in Baden, and was af­ flicted with this malady, was suddenly called to Frankfort. While there the pangs of the green-eyed monster seized him and he rushed to a clairvoyant. This prohetess closed her eyes and said slowly, " I see a young and beautiful woman looking out of the window." " That's mv wife," said the poor man to himself; " I wonder what in the world she is looking out of the window for?" " She is evidently very anxious to see some one," continued the sleeper. The husband began to feel like a pin cushion full of pins. " Ah, there he is, she sees him now, and how her face lights up with joy. "Oh, heavens!" cried the excited hus­ band, "how I-wish I was there," and his eyes flashed in a very dangerous way. "Now," said the elairvovmit slowly, "she rushes down to the front door to meet him." Here great drops of perspiration began to gather on the man's brow. He had l»cen looking for positive proof for a long time, and he had it to his heart's con­ tent. " And now," said the seer, " she takes his head between her hands, calls him 'her precious' aud 'her darling,' and kisses him aguiu and agaiu." This was really too much. The poor man trembled in every limb. " And he," continued the seer, jumps about the rocm as though he were mad with delight, and barks, and wags his tail." " Btii'ks and wags his tail?" cried the frantic husband, "for heaven's sake what are yon talking about?" " Oh," said the seer, "I think I for­ got to tell you that it is a dog that I have been looking at all this time."--N. Y. Herald. • The Difference.

Price 25 cent*. l Eggs are an article of cheap and nu­ tritious food which we, do not find on farmers' tables in the quantity economy demands. They are very convenient to take to market, and this is the dispo­ sition which too many farmers make ot | them. They prolxibly do not fully com- ! prehend how valuable eggs are as food; | that, like milk, an egg is a complete food in itself, containing everything necessary for ilie development of a per- | feet animal, as is manifest from the fact | that a chick is formed from it. It seems I a mystery how muscles, bones, feathers, | and everything that a chick requires for J its perfect development are made from the yelk and white of an egg; but such is the fact, and it shows how complete a food an egg is. It is also esvsilv digest­ ed, if not damaged in cooking.' A raw or soft-boiled egg is always as easily as­ similated as is milk, and can be eaten with impunity by children and invalids. The average egg weighs a thousand grains, and is worth more as food than so much beefsteak. Indeed there is no more concentrated and nourishing food than eggs. The albumen, oil and saline matter are, as in milk, in the right pro­ portion for sustaining annual life. When eggs bring no more than 20 cents per dozen, it is much better economy to find a market for them iu the family than at the store. Two or three boiletl eggs, with the addition of a shoe cr two oi toast, will make a breakfast sufficient for a man and good enough for a King. An ordinary hen's egg weighs from one and a half to two ounces, a duck's egg from two to three ounces, the egg of a sea-gull and the turkey from three to four ounces, and the egg of a goose from four to six ounces. The Bolid matter and the oil in the duck's egg exceed those in a hen's egg by about one-fourth. According to Dr. Edward Smith, in his treatise on "Foods," an egg weighiug an ounce and three^qftarters consists of 120 grains of carbon and 18} grains of nitrogen, or 15.25 per cent i f carbon and 2 of nitrogen. A writer in the Sci- entijie Farmer estimates that the value of one pound of eggs, as food for sus­ taining the active forces of the body, is to the value of one pound of lean beef as 1,584 is to 900.v As a flesh producer one ponud of eggs is about equal to one pound of beef. A hen may be calcu­ lated to consume one bushel of corn yearly, and to lay ten dozen, or fifteen pounds of eggs. This is equivalent to sayiug that three and one-tenth pounds of corn will produce, when fed to a hen, five-sixths of a pound of eggs. But five- sixths of a pound of pork requires about five pounds of corn for its production. When eggs are one shilling per dozen and pork five-pence per pound we have a bushel of corn fed, producing ten shill­ ings' worth t.f eggs and four shillings, worth of pork. Judging from these facts eggs must be economical in their production aud in their eating, and es­ pecially fit for the laboring man in re­ placing meat--J^rovisioncr. Answer This.

He used to amuse himself and his admirers by betting the drinks with them that they could not hit him--they to do their best to hit him, and he simply to ward off the blows. Tom Ochiltree, of Texas, who has gained considerable reputation from his intimacy with General Grant, and perhaps even more reputation from the fast running horse which was named after him? happened to be in New Or­ leans during the winter. Some of Ochil­ tree's friends told him of Mace's favorite bet. Ochiltree is a short, thick-set, pow­ erfully-built man. His hair is just red enough to indicate a fiery temper. As soon as he was told of Mace's bet he fired up and said he would bet the crowd a champagne supper that he could hit Jem Mace. The bet, of course, was taken at once, and the whole party started out in search of Mace. He was easily found in a neighboring drinking saloon. Mace was standing at the bar in the act of taking a drink. Ochiltree stepped quietly up beside him, and hit him sud­ denly a stinging blow on the cheek. Mace quietly placed his glass on the bar, and, scarcely moving his bodv, brought his right hand up and struck Ochiltree a fearful blow just under one ear. His friends rushed to him, gathered him up, and carried him to the nearest hotel. Doctors were sent for in a great hurry, and after two or three hours of hard work they succeeded in bringing Ochil­ tree back to this earth. He was coutiued to his room in the hotel for three weeks, however. When . he finally reappeared he was forced to furnish the champagne supper. Some of his friends said to him: " What in the world mode you such a blanked fool as to hit Jem Mace?" "Why," said Ochiltree, "I thought I would just tap liim without bis knowl­ edge and would then explain to him."
