Indication of a desire on the part of the

be reached. Tickets
better class of plays have been advanced
to a figure that Is beyond the reach of
many who do not care for th class of
plays afforded at "popular prices." but who
do want to attend f .e theater. For these
the stock companies, such as that at the
Burwooa last winter, offer an Ideal condl
t.on. The best of plays are offered at a
cost that Is reasonable, and under condi
tions that are apuropriate and enjoynble.
The light expenses make It possible for the
management to secure players who are
capable of handling the best works Intolll
rently, at least, and give satisfactory per
formances of pieces made popular by the
great stars, in this way a great class of
the publlo la now being provided with first
claaa amusement at the theaters, and un
der conditions that will surely bo of benefit
to the stage in the long run.

The stage has many detractors. "It does
not represent real life," says one. A stage

When the great Are of Chicago ate up

away the theater buildings as well. For a

became rampant. After a few weeks a

K. II. Sothern and Julia Marlowe have

Hhakeapearlan festival at the Academy of
MuhIc. This week ths bill has been "Much

has been tsr greater than might have been
expected in view of the warm weather.
Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe have not
been seen In this play since their original
engagement at the Knickerbocker theater,
when they first appeared as Joint sturs.
The Benedick gives Mr. Sothern ample
opportunity for his high comedy sketches,
while In her part of Beatrice Miss Mar
lowe Is perhaps at her best. The play Is
being given with the full strength of the
organisation and the production Is, Indeed,
a handsome one. The engagement of the
Academy Is really proving to be one of
the most successful in its history, capacity
houses often being reported. For next
week the bill will comprise "Taming the
Shrew."

The Royal Hawaiian band, which comes
to the Auditorium very shortly, is one of
much attractiveness. I heard it, if I re
member rightly, at the Portland exposition
last summer. The mon play well, and their
singing is full of dash and natural sweet

where the former says of a friend that
he was "pinched," the latter observes that
they "pressed his tail."
In order to establish the sisterhood of
proverbs It is only necessary to take a
few touches of .nature which make the
whole world akin and regard them from
various national aspects. The classical but
homely truth, "Drive out nature with a
pitchfork and she will return," crops out
In many a negro tribe In quaint forms,
such as the following: "A man that keeps
the birds away keeps them away, but a
pretty face cannot be kept away." The
Idea conveyed by "He needs must go
whom the devil drives" Is universally rec
ognized. Some tribes put it, "The stomach
has no ears," others, "The empty bag
cannot stand upright."
The idea we express In the words "Only
the wearer knows where the shoe pinches,"
Is conveyed quite as aptly by the Bwahlli
In his proverb, "Only the dead man knows
where the grave Is too narrow." Seafar
ing tribes say "The bottom of the ship
knows best how the sea presses." Our
familiar sayings about "running after two
hares" and "falline between two stools"
are again paralleled and capped by the
Zambesi proverb, "The rider of two horses
splits asunder."
This qualntness of setting forth often
"goes one better" on our homely proverbs.
Our saying, "Don't do as I do; do as I tell
you," Is good; but the Dntch, "The monk
preaches against thieves with the goose
in hla larder," or the American, "When the
lawyer get the fowl stealer acquitted he

lsn parallel is quaintest 01 an. ine iriar
condema the thelf with the pudding up
his sleeve." Where we say "If you want
a thing dona do It yourself," the West
Indian gets a shade ahead of us with the
advice, "Send a dog, and the dog will
send his tall."
The same advice Is given In a still better
form by the Armenian, who observes, "If
you send a messenger on an errand, go
with him." And the astute unbelieving
Chinaman, who, like his proverbial Image
maker, puts no faith either In the gods
or the messengers of the gods, "for he
knows what they are made of," sums up
the situation In a way that la perhaps
as correct as it is sweeping: "If you
want a thing done," ce aays, ' go yourself;
if not, send
There Is , probably no better proverb In
the English language than "Still waters
run deep." No other nation "goes one
better" than this, though many oome near
It. The Turk says, "Distrust the water
that does not warble, and tha bird that
does not chirp." This laoks the element
of paradox which occurs In our English
rendering. The African parallel has more
of that element "Beware of the silent
man," It runs; "he has a brass band In
his mouth;" and a- more southern tribe
puts the idea equally well 'a the shape
of "Silence hath a mighty . else."
On the subjeot of woman It goes with-
-
out saying that all the nations of the
earth formed the same opinion of the fair
sex long, long ago, and up to the present
none of them have seen any reason to
alter that opinion, but whether the opinion
In which they all concur Is concealed or
revealed In proverbs, It would be an insult
to the reader's reason and common sense
to state. As for the proverbs, which can
readily be distinguished at sight aa true
or false by the clever student of feminine
human nature, they yield a good harvest
of parallels.
"A woman, a dog and a walnut tree, the
more you beat them the better they be,"
Is a remark upon which no two sane per
sons can hold different opinions; and the
same may be claimed for the central Afri
can saying, "A man Is not obeyed by his
wife In his own house, nor does she con
sider him her husband unless he beats
her thwack!" or for the Corslcan's asser
tion that "Just as a good horse and a
bad horse both heed the spur, so a good
woman and a bad woman both need the
tick."
The Spaniard says: "Were a woman as
little as she Is good, a pease cod would
make her a gown and a hood;" Tha Italian
leaves off killing his kings to whisper: "If
If a man lnaes a woman and a farthing
he will miss the farthing;" the Frenchman
pauses between his absinthes to remark:
"A woman of gold is worth a man of
straw;" The negro medicine man swears
to his tribe that "Women are words, deeds
are men;" the Persian asserts that
"Women and dragons are best out of the
world;" The German contends that "Wher
ever there Is mischief brewing a woman
and a priest are at the bottom of it," and
that "There are only two good women In
the warld; one la dead and the other is
missing." London Globe. ,
