. The Coming Play.
In anticipation of the coming of "Miss
Petticoats'' to the North Theatre on
Monday Jan. 11 it is interesting to note
the reviews of the production which
were given its premier performance,
when it played a very successful two
weeks at the massive Bo9ton Theatre to
very large audiences. The Boston Poet
says: "Miss Petticoats," a dramatiza
tion by George T. Richardson of Dwight
Ttlton's novel of the same name, was
presented for the first time in this city
.last evening at the Boston Theatre., Mr.
in has preserved many of the
) salient features, and has evolved a
i that suggests in some degree those
of the "Uncle Terry" type, where the
heroine has been reared from childhood
by( a seafaring character. The story of
Agatha Benier, who brought up by
Captain Joel Stewart, her grandfather,
in New Bedford, afterwards seeing more
of life as companion to Mrs. Sarah Co
peland, and 'latter becoming Countess
Fornay through her father, a titled"
Frenchman, furnishes many episodes,
some intensely pathetic, others more of
the comedy nature, yet all so well con
nected that interest never lags, although
the happy ending of it all can readily be
guessed. The final of Act 3, when
Agatha is unjustly accused of grievous
wrong-doing, is worked up to excellent
advantage. The Fourth Act, showing
how the heroine gets the better of the
villian, Guy Hamilton, in a deal in
stocks, makes a fine climax, which ldads
Baturaliy to the closing scene. The
sailor's dance in the ballroom scene' -'is
one of the best among the comedy hits.
While some of the lines border upon the
conventional, there is but little if any
portion of the text' that is not plain, in
easy style, pleasing and easily compre
hended. Walker Township.

PUSHING

v
TOO FAR.
Nephew's" Logical Deduction That
Somehow Displeased Uncle.
Dr. W. J. McGee of the geological
survey said in Washington, after a
visit to the Adirondacks, that the for
est fires had cost, at a conservative
estimate, $1,000,000 a day.
"It seems," said Dr. McGee, "rather
foolish to make laws against timber,
cutting so as to preserve our forests,
and to make no laws to preserve- them
against these terrible fires, which de
stroy more trees in a day than the ax
could destroy in a year.
"The-trouble is carelessness. The
hunter is careless, the inhabitant is
careless, the railroad is careless, and
the hunter's fire, the inhabitant's
match, the railroad's sparks, burn up
every autumn an untold wealth of tim
ber.
"If every one would but take home
this lesson of carelessness! We, none
of us7 though, care to take home les
sons. It is like old Jacob Grimes.
"Jacob was an Illinois farmer, and
one summer his, nephew from Chicago
came to work on the farm for him
Jacob told the boy that the first prin
ciple of farming was to use up and
wear out the old things first.
"'Don't touch this year's fodder,' he
would say, till last, year's has been
consumed. Don't use the new harness
while the old holds out. The new red
cart, runs better, but we will keep it
in' the barn till the old gray one
breaks down.'
"Jacob, sounded tills principle of his
till the bojf got tired of it He would
'get especially tired when he would be
obliged to eat last week's bread and
so forth, according to the principle.
"Jacob one stormy-night said to his
nephew:
" 'William, Tve got to go to the vil
lage. Fetch up and harness one of
the horses from the four-acre field.'
" 'Which shall I fetch,' said William,
the old horse or the young one?'
"'The old one, of course,' said
Jacob.. 'Always wear out the old ones
first, you know.'
"William paused In drawing on his
rubber boots.
"'In that case, uncle,' he said,
hadn't you better go and fetch the
horse?' "

Ingenious Photographic Apparatus In

Photographs taken from airships or
.balloons have long been considered a
practical method' of learning the
whereabouts of an enemy's forces or
fortifications In time of war, but snap
shots by a camera attached to a
pigeon are an altogether ' new idea. .
This minute photographic apparatus is
the invention of a German, Dr. Neu-
'bronner, and has just been patented..
The officials at the German patent of
fice, were disposed to ridicule the in
vention at 'first, but after proofs of its
practicability were offered their opin
ions changed. The German war office
recognized, its strategic value, and they
believe-, that photographing pigeons
can render "much assistance to a be
sieging army. -

2 ounces, and that is considered the
maximum weight which" a homing

TJIACCt WATER UNDER GROUNO.
Inventlen of Frenchman Discovers

A rational device for finding under

vented by a Frenchman named Dish

ment known as Daguin's aocwstele a
device for the analysis of sounds, look-.
ing somewhat like a megaphone. To
.use it a hole about a foot deep' js sunk

horn is placed in it, tube attached to
the small end being insertedin the
oars. If there is underground tunning,

be heard plainly, the sound resembling'
that of the wind in a forest Still wa
ter, of course, cannot' be detected. Ex
periments with this instrument near
known subterranean streams have suc
ceeded wall, but it does not appear
that it has ever discovered any hither
to unsuspected stream. There seems
to be no reason, however, why it
should not be so used.

Freeh Grapes Air Winter. :
The grapes were very fresh

These must be hothouse grapes,"
said the guests. N-
But the host pointed from the win

sheathed in ice, a leafless vine shiv
ered In the blast
The grapes came from that vine,"
ho said, two months ago."
"But how have you kept them so
freshr
"I'll tell you the secret When I
want to keep my grapes I cut each
bunch with a long stem, with quite
eight inches of stem. Then I take a:
lot of wide-mouthed bottles and fill
them with water. Then I hang the
grape bunches hi the cellar, their long
stems each, in a bottle, taking care
that the grapes themselves are in con
tact with nothing (that would rot
them), and that the stems are buried
deep in the water. They keep so for
five or six months. I can, keep so a
hundred bunches all winter without
losing a bunch."

He was the laziest tramp that ever

"Partner," he drawled when a
young man passed that way, "got any
tobacco?"
"Guess so," responded the youth,
fumbling in his pocket and pulling
forth a bag of mixture.
"Got any cigarette papers?"
"A few."
"Well, make me a cigarette, that's a
good fellow."
With a few dextrous twists the
stranger handed over the "coffin nail."
The tramp yawned.
"Say, pardner," he said, finally,
"would yer mind puffing dat dope an'
blowing de smoke in my face? ' I feel
awfully tired too tired to smoke."

AS EXPLAINED BY THE GUIDE.
Garrulous Old Woman Found Out
What Caused Streak en Water.
The garrulous old woman In the
sternr of. theJboat had pestered the
guide with her comments aad ques
tions ever since they had started. Her
meek little husband, who was hunched
toad-like In the bow, fished in silence.
The -.old woman had seemingly ex
hausted every possible pout in fish
and animal life, woodcraft and per
sonal history when she suddenly es
pied one of those curious paths of
oily, unbroken water frequently seen
on small lakes which are ruffled by a
light breeze.
"Oh, guide, guide," she exclaimed,
"what makes that funny streak in the.
water No, there Right over there!"
The guide was busy rebaiting the
old gentleman's hook and merely mum
bled "U-m-mm."
."Guide," repeated the old woman in
tones that were not to be denied, "look
.right over where I'm pointing aad tell
me what makes that funny streak: in
the. water."
. 'The guide looked up from his bait
ing with a sigh.
"That? Oh, that's where the road
went across the ice last winter."

head of a large and prosperous bour

all busy with our various avocations.
The evenings are devoted to more seri
ous things reading, music, conversa
tion, society." This is surely the nor
mal point' of view of a civilized man
living in a civilized society.

France, is take,aomewhat more seri

every 'evening) la set apart for receiv

more crystallised, where the social
game is better played than in any com

- Mrs. Pierre Lorillard Ronalds, at a
luncheon in New York, narrated her
impressions of the great city that she
had not seen for 20 years.
"New York has now taken her place
among the world's capitals," she said.
"New York is no longer young" and
unsophisticated. She has now all the
weariness and vice of Paris, London
and Rome.
"They who speak of New York as
young, childish, innocent, speak very
foolishly. They remind me of Lord
Exe of the Carlton.
"Lord Exe, at 70, tried to lead the
life of a youth of 25. He dyed his
hair, wore a corset and frequented the
music halls, Piccadilly circus and the
Burlington arcade.
"One afternoon, as he drove from
the Carlton in his brougham, a 'mem
ber said, smiling:
" 'There goes Exe. He told me over
a whisky and soda just now that he
felt as fresh as a two-year-old.'
"Another member sneered.
