KEEFS OUT OF SIGH YET THE WORK OF THE ST/ ^CARPENTER IS IMPORTANT. J Sexteto the Stage Manager thc St Carpenter Is Probably the Person TI XtWe Most Authority lieh ?ixl the Sec ^ a Theater-His Duties. As tho public must \now, every v ordere?.1? theater has connected with i bodjpof of?ieials~who are never seen the stage except by accident. This i chanicalrftajf difi^rs injsiae^and abili but a fair'number for a'good house ?P comprise a stage carpenter and his sistant, a property man, a fiayman, t firemen and a. gasman.

Tl only difficulty arises in the case of very small theater, when the scene som times has io be cut and lapped. There is a great deal cf diff?rence i the ease with which scenery may t handled. Take, forinstance, the ston s*fene in "Cleopatra." The one used J; jpvte. Bernhardt w?s made in Franc and was so heavy and massive fhat gave no end of trouble wherever it wen Fanny Davenport's was much light* 4,nd. irt?nS easily handled, although th fcireci wal more elaborate. We cou! prepare it in a very short time and wit.l out the slightest hitch. Some actors an stage managers are much more fastid. ?us than others.

One day he pulled j out tho ugly, ghastly, grinning skull j and began to handle it. Finally he de? fended that he.wanted that skull opened ' so that he could study the inside struc I ture.^^eWbeing several seams in fie I skull ne decided to fill the skull with peas and soak them in water, thinking that they would force the seams apart. . He tasked the editor to help him, and the latter poured peas and water into the hollow .bone aim corked up the eye and nose holes to keep them from run? ning out. Some time after th? editor was startled to see that peas had sprouted in the skull and the vines were of most I wonderful growth. Out of the hole ; where the backbone is joined to the j neck an army of little vines had grown, j and by some unknown instinctive power they-had twined in and through all the bones of that body. The young tendrils had wrapped around the stovepipe and table legs and the whole skeleton had been reared up waj;d.m<?he muidle of the room. From tli^??o?trils abd %es vines were stream? ing that had clustered around and upon the presses, stands and tables, and from each joint hung a pod in Kkeness of a small skull, the exact counterpart of the large .one. It is rumored that when the editor beheld these things he left the office by:the window route, and the skeleton is still in full editorial control. -Chicago News. The American AT Helve.
