SHOW TONIGHT •'My Wife's Family” Will Drive Away Dull Cares. If you wish to drive dull care away and forget the blues, don t (ail to see the laughable three-act musical farce comedy success. “Mv W'ie’a Fam ly," from the pen of Stephens and Linton, who are known as prolitlo writers of excellent farce. This merry corned t met with universal succes* where ever produced last season, in fact it was such a hit that return <ltte* were played in many places. Bright lines, absurd, laughable situations and a budget of original song and dance numbers by tbe authors add spice and color to the record breaker of the comedy world. “My Wife’s Family’’ will be seen here at the opera house this evening

One of tl.e Resolution'* gunners was ' standing by bl* gun as the sbip i sbeerel abreast of De Grasse's flagship. Tl:e gunner was all ready, just giing to Lre. when a shot came In at tbe port and took bls leg off at the' knee.

su..>e • - <»ru». “Spider" is a less attractive word tli u "spinner.” but It is really the s-.me. "Splther," the earlier form of the wool, stood for “splnther.” meank 3 rpiuaer—the disapitearance of the "n” bes ire the "th" I cing cs’npensated f r by the lei trhcn.r.g of the vowel. Just as "tooth" really represents “tonth." There was ouce in use another word for the creature, that was ugly enough In meaning—“nt tereop." which ' r.ppeirs In WycllFs Bible. It sign!Ccs ‘li tis-.m bunch" and is still used In : the north of England an 1 In Antrim. I Inland, as an uncomplimentary term! f>r a shrewish person. Pram “altercop” or frr.il a similar use of “cop" or "cob.” a bunch, to mean a spider, comes "cobweb." A Green Old .Ase. "A green old age” is a phrase often grossly a’-used. It Is a literal transition of Virgil’s description of Charon, the ferryman of the nether regions. The p iet speaks of him as "Jam senior, se i cnida dec vlrl Haque seuectus” (somewhat ag.-d. but his godsblp’s old age was still fresh an 1 green). This we might say of a bale sexagenarian but to talk, as we do. of the green old age of a nonagenarian, however bate, is sheer nonsense. The Art of Dolnar Mothlug. There Is a side of life fo* which no prepatation at all is made. No life Is or can be one of unremitting work. Sooner or later every one bns a day off and in nine cases out of ten has never been taught how to use it. In the schools of our Utopia th-re will tie professors of the great art of doing nothing, of “sitting on a gate.”—London Saturday Review. A“• Wild Hair.** A “wild hair" is the most annoying freak of uature a man can be afflicted with. It grows in from the eyelid instead of out nnd. constantly brushing against the eyeball, sometimes causes an Irritation that results in a Joss of sigh*. To pull It out gives only temporary relief, since in a few weeks It comes back, as well grown and s ron* as ever. The only way to kill it is to destroy the sac from which it springs. This is done by means of the electric needle.

SIMPLE HEALTH RULES. Tr«»l>vr*mvr. So Worry, » »<>mhl«l Mind. Meet* «< A faiuou* New York physician, now huie nnd han Isume at seventy the. sums up bis half a century of medical practice and observation in these simple rules of bealtb: First.—Ro tewi»erate in all things. In matt' r» of amuseuient or study a* well ,a» iu regard to food* and drink*. To I* temperate In all thing*, however. due* not imply that one tuu»t be * pi-oli.bltioulst about anything. Second.—Don't be afraid to go to tleep, far sleep Is tbe beet restorer of wasted energies. Sleep a certain numt>er of hours every night nud then remember that a short nap during tbe day is a safer rvjuveuator than a cocktall. Third.—Don’t worry either about tbe past or tbe future. To waste a single hour lu regret for tbe past Is as senseles* a* to »<-ud good money after that which has i»evn irrecovernbly last. To fret oneself about wbat tlie future may have iu store is ats>ut ts reasonable as to attempt to brush back tbe tide of tbe ocean with a broom. Worry, of whatever kind, tarnishes contentment, and contentment is a necessity of youth. Fourth.—Keep tbe mind youthful. Live In tbe present with all the other young people. Imn’t get to be reminiscent. Let the oid people talk about tbe past, for tbe mere act of thinking about old things remind* the mind of Its years. Reminiscences are dangerous. whether they lie soothing or sweet or sad. for they characterize old age and must be sedulously avoided by those who would be ever young. Fifth.—Keep up with the times. Don’t fall behind the procession. To accomplish this learn one new fact every day. Tbe mind that I* Mtiafied to live upon tbe lessons it learned iu its youth soon grows old and musty. To keep young it must tie fresh and active— that is. abreast with the times. The old methods of thought and the old fact* may have been correct enough once upon a time, but that time has passed. Today they are obsolete and only amusing as relics of antiquity. To remain young, therefore, one must keep tbe storehouse of the memory clear of all such rubbish. Throw away one of the mildewed relics every day and replace it with some newer, fresher and more up to date fact. Here. then. 1* this New York physician's secret of perennial youth iu a nutshell: Be temperate! Don’t be afraid to g.» to sleep! Don't worry! Keep the mind youthful. And — keep up with the times! It is not a difficult rule of life to follow. It is ever so much easier than wandering about strange lands in search of hidden springs. It is somewhat pleasanter than stewing over ill s—e/'L-; crucibles. Moreover it ha* the advantage of being thoroughly praetieabie. wth-fa makes it well worth trying—New York World. Xeno: hon M a 10<>a Fancier, Xenophon oi>eu-> his disquisition on iioutius i>y ..a enumeration of all tbe defve.s. physical moral, wuicb a hound should not possess, wherein it is eat y io revoguiae ail tne failings which art still among us. Leggy hounds, we My hour. '.*, flat side-1 hounds, flat fm ted UouuJs. undersized bounds, he. dstrong hoands. flashy hounds, sulky bounds, dwellers, babblers, skitters—all are faithfully portrayed and uncozopromlaingly condemned. "Hjuuds wi.h such faults as these, whether due to nature or to bad training, are of little worth. They are enough to disgust even a truly keen sportsman." A good bend should have a light small, sinewy head, a long, round, flexible neck, broad chest, free shoulders, straight, round, wiry fore legs, straight knees, round sides, muscular loins, full t'.ai.ks. but not too full. Histhlghssbould be firm, compact and well let down, his feet round and his stern long, straight and tapering. Such is Xenophon's description of a good bound. It seems to us not amiss for the fourth century before our era.

C'bieorr. "The reason that the root of chicory, the blue flower which covers waste places all over the northwestern states, is not a gsod substitute for coffee is j that we have no alkaloid In chicory," said a Chicago chemist. "Moreover, we have no oil. Chicory contains a 1 quantity of resinous matter and a quantity of matter closely resembling the narcotic principles obtained from 1 the common lettuce. The milky juice I contains a narcotic element. Although not eligible as a substitute for coffee, chicory can be used for adulterating coffee, and many people who get accustomed to the taste of the mixture prefer It to pure coffee. In former times the prejudice against chicory was so great that English laws were passed against adding it to coffee, but I believe there is no restriction In England or elsewhere now. The use of chicory never got enough foothold in America* * to make it significant in the volume of trade.”—Milwaukee Free Press. The Greatest Magee, Probably the most remarkable singer of all time was Farinelli, the tieauty of whose soprano voice remains on eqnaled. It was of large compass, three and a half octaves, exceeding th< ordinary range by six or seven notes. His debut at seventeen at Rome In 1722 was extraordinary from his com petlng with a trumpet player In su« talnlng nnd swelling a note of astou Ishlng length and power. For fifteen years he traveled extensively, and b> reached Spain In 1737. intending t< stay a few months, but remaining twenty-five years Philip V. of Spain bad fallen into a profound meianebo’y and the queen found Farinelli's volet the only remedy.
