Te Mysterious Customer.
I was playing Mr. SpiccrJ?umford iI
"Artful Cards," and you knowin the second
act he goes to an evening party, and he has
bought a pair of white kid gloves-regular
party-going gloves, warranted not to split,
at one-and-six. But they do split, and
here is the fun of the Introduction of those
comical articles called hand-shoes by the
matter-of-fact Germans.
The gloves were necessary for the fun of
the play; they nmst be split or there is no
fun; and I usually kwp a dozen pairs ready
In case of emergency, as I have to split
them before going upon the sttge.
When acting in a celebrated provincial
town, where they are extremely critical and
particular down to the smallest detail, my
dresser told me that I had no gloves; I had
used themi all.
it was a dreadfully wet night, pouring
cats and (logo, and all the best sliops were
shut up; so I told the coachman to stol, at
the first gloverstore lie caine to. We cane
to a halt at a. miserable-looking fourth-rate
shop, where they sold cheap braces and
mouldy neckties, fly-blown shirts, and the
most alarming brass studs fixed into card
board.
The proprietor of this dingy emporium
was just about t' close, and seeied half
asleep. I could see at once lie was a surly
ill-conditioned fellow, and I don't think I
improved his temper by making my re
quest very earnestly and in a low tone, ae
companied by a gibberish which lie could
not understand.
I heard him muttering to himself,
"What does lie mean? the man's a fool.''
When suddenly, as lie was bouncing about
and losing his temper, I said, as distinctly
as possible, "1lave you got any white kid
gloves? I don't understand you )roviiicial
dialect.
It was as well to turn the tables at once,
and put him in the wrong.
Ile groped about until at last, when lie
was red with the exertion, lie found a for
gotten box of white kids. They were mi
commonly dusty, and had evidently been
the original stock of his grand-fiather's
shop. I picked out a pair, amid lie wient
through the stupid old formula of doubling
them across my knuckles.
"I think these will do," lie said.
"Ohl will they? then give me a pair of
scissors."
"They are untied; you don't want any
scissors."
"Yes, I do."
I then deliberately cut the gloves in five
or six places. The man positively shud
dered and said, 'Oh, (lon'tl" It seemed to
hurt hun, although the gloves were inne.
'1he more he shuddered, the Inre e
away.
"But I could have got you a larger pair
without that," lie whined, as if lie were in
dreadful pain.
"They are quite large enough, my dear
sir," I replied, hackihig away; "but I like
plenty of ventilation."
lie shudderett again.
"Give me another pairl" I said, fiercely,
as if I were thirsting for (lestructioni.
'Will you have a larger size? Do," he
murmured. "Don't hurt them," lie a<led
with real pathos.
"No," I said, melodramatically. "t,ive
me some larger scisors!"
I saw a large pair of seissors on the
counter, and, seizing them, cut away it
two or three pairs as eagerly as a ch1jild cutl
thg up paper. The more I cut, the mIore
puzzled 1111(i distressed he looked. " I here
that will do said I, throwing dowvv the
money and pocketing the gloves.
"Will You have ainy paper? OhI dear!"
lie roared, as if the scissors had been rip-I
ping him open, and lie wits recovering fiom
the shock.
"'I'o, indeed, not. I. lkelinda shall be
revengedl" I groaned betweeni my teeth.
'"Thus will I dlestiy mViy llfated r'i val.''
le backedl away' froini mei as I wavedl the
scissors In the air, anud I couild see by3 his
teirrified face that lie thought I was star'k
staring mad0(. A s 1 was leaviing I lie shop I
looked out and saidi,
'"It's a lovely morning, isn't it?'' It was
7 o'clock ini the evening, and1( raining ini tor
rents.
"Don't talk lnonisenise, sir,'' he replied
angrily, but evidently very frightened and
astonished.
With a hideous grimace I left the shmop
and jumplled inito the carr'iagc. iii live

amuse the audienee withi the pepexte

Whien examinhing the surface of the
moon, May 27, 1877, D)r. Ilermann J.
Klein of' Koln, nioticedl what seemied to
him to be a new crater on thei MueI
Vaporum, a little to the nort,h-west if
the wvell known crater of Ilyginus.
Being (deep and dark, and about three.
milces in diameter, It formed a consp)ie
nous object on the (lark gray Mare

served this region during the last
twelve years, Dr. Klein felt 'ertalin
that the crater wvas new. Commuul-~
eating his observation to Dr. BIehmidt,.
of A thens, lie was assmred by that vet
eran selenographier thit no such crater
appeared in any of his numerous dr tw
-inge of that part of the lunar' suirface ;
nor is it shown by Schirotor, Lohirmanni,
or Madher, who carefully dre'w the
same region with the ine refractor' of
Dorpat. in April, 1878, Mr. Klein laid
the discovery before the Seleniographi
eal Soelety, and since then the new
e rater has beeni observed by several
English students of the moon. The
Mare Vaporumn lies close to the eentre of
the visible surface of the moon, so that
objects in this regIon are very slightly
- affeoted by the lunar hibratlons. The
regioa has been closely studiled by
many, and as it contains several well
.known craters, some of them less than
a mile in diameter, It is evident that
