■\Vhnt a charitable man Professor William Stirling, of Manchester University, is! Everybody knows ' that sleepy feeling that comes over many people during sermon time. Some unscientific people have blamed the. ! sermon. Professor Stirliug, in a lecture to the National Health Society on "Health, Fatigue, and Repose," said the explanation lay rather in the badly-ventilat-cd atmosphere, and in the. "fact that Sunday,- though the' first day <jf tho week, was 1o most churchgoers the close of the week. There are 'still, however, one or two difficulties we should like cleared up. How is it that in tho churches with tho most closely-packed congregations there is tho least sleepiness? Arc they better ventilated than others, have the congregations not worked so hard during tho week, or can it he, after all, that there is an enlivening emanation from tho pulpit? —"Christian World.". One of tho sensations in-"Aladdin" pantomime is what is described as tho ragtimo revuo. This is the latest novelty introduced to Australia by Mr. Lester Brown, from Now York. : Hs claims it is two years ahead of London. ' The whole, of the company, of something like 300 peoplo, do a fascinating ragtimo parade ovar a specially constructed promenade down tho full length of tho stalls, and over the heads of tho audience, in their pantomimo costumes. ■ As , tho house is in total darkness excepting tho specially coloured lights down this promenade,' the fine effect can be . imagined. After the company lias completed tho parade over tho heads of the people in tho stalls,, they assemble on aspecially constructed dais on the stage, and, led by two ragtimo exoerts from Now York, feature several of tho latest , ragtime melodies, the company at the ', same time suiting the actions to^'tliewords. >.!:•■ v
