"On Ball" is one of Gilbert's earliest efforts, and in amall way is very good. Gilbert is a cynical humourist, for he has, we belleve, confessed that he tries to write so that "not even the most wooden" can miss the Jokes. That he has succeeded to some extent was proved on Saturday; for the audience could not help laughing someilmes, in spite of the depress- lug effect of leaden marionette action.

Written scrolls are usually while. When the penmanship is extremely fine and artistic or when the scroll is intended as a gift for a special occasion other colors are frequently employed. When written by distinguished professionals they are very expensive and are on white and strong paper so as to casure their durability. The paper used for the purpose is of a particular brand and properly kept will last for centuries.
Scrolls for festivals or weddings are generally on red paper a engrossed in gold or black according to the means of the donor. These intended for mrre ornament are on any colored paper which pleases the fancy or is in keeping with the other decorations of the room. In this class besides the ordinary monochrome rolls, they employ chegaer-patterns, piata colors splashed to silver, bronze, black or gold, or basket and other willow patterns in pale sten- cilled tints.

Wedding and festival scrolls are complimentary and sometimes humorous. Arcestral scrolls are almost falsome. In their flattery of the departed, Jess scrolls recount the historical deeds of the delfed individual in whose memory they are written. Scrolls in sitting rooms often contain aphorisms from Confucius and Chuo-tizo, bis chief disciple. Others contain the saclent proverbs and wise sayings.
The allegorical pictures are of over a hundred different types. They tauge from two to six feet in width and from niae feet in length to the height of the highest apartment. The extra length is secured by a white margin at top and bottom, which sometimes is eight feet long in each direction,
The commonest type is the "Five Blessings." This is symbolized by a group of figures in which a very old man indicates the first blessing, "Longevity," tall and be-jewelled mandarin represents Rank or Power women bearing a bag of gold expreases "Wealth," a man holding a little babe, stands for "Fecundilyor "Prolificness," and a mysterious animal with the bead of a dragon, the shape of a dog, the fece of a deer and a checker-board cost of many colors typifies "Happiness."

And this is just what has came to pass in respect to George Francis Tralo prophesies about Tacom, the "mu broom city" that has recently become the Western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railway Company's line of steamers. The planeer of tramwaya in London (as Train claims to have been) predicted in the columns of the Telegraph fully two years ago that Tacoms would "boom," would, in fact, rapidly become a vast emporium of trade and the terminus of an important line of first-class steamers. At the time the pro- phesies of the globe-trotting crank were diam missed as the ruminations of an interested enthusiast and utterly unworthy the serious consideration of practical business men, but the events of the past few months and the almort marvel'ous development of the "City of Destiny as Tacoma has-been-aptly-termedy- prove beyond doubt that Tacoma is metaphorl The plot consists of a huge practical joka, ́A
