“The Call of Youth,” a new comedy by Frederic and Fanny Locke Hatton, authors of that famous success, “Years of Discretion,” op ening at the Blackstone June 1, promises to be the all-summer sensation of Chicago. The demand tor seats has been so great that the seats for the first week’s performances were practically sold out on May 25, when the box office sale commenced, mail orders swarming into the Blackstone all during May. The celebrity of the playwrights, as successful dramatists and as social favorites, the fame of “Years of Discretion,” the proved brilliancy of the new comedy Which had a fortnight tryout in neighboring cities, and above all, the extraordinary youth, beauty and distinction of the great cast, must explain the great interest manifested in the new Hatton production. Theatregoers everywhere will recognize the unusual eminence of the following list of youthful and popular players: Gertrude Coghlan, Virginia Hammond, Vivian Martin, Elsie Weston, Hazel Kelly, Walter Hampden, Arthur Stanford, Forrest Winant, Edgar Norton, Schuyler Ladd, William Lewers, Curtis Oook-sey, Redmond Flood and. James G. Morton—such a castall principals would not be possible In one company at any other time of the year. The distinguished director, George Foster Platt, staged and directs the remarkable production.

WHY THE BIG TREES ARE BIG.

Heavy Rainfall Gives Quick Germlna- '■ tion and Steady Growth. The magnificent forests of Douglas fir in Washington—it is called Washington fir there and Oregon fir (ita commercial name) In Oregon—do not have an equal anywhere else in the world. Thia la not surprising if we take Into account the rainfall, which in the Puget Bound country is about fifty-three inches, while up in the higher Cascades near Beattie It Is 100 inches and even reaches 150 Inches. Under such climatic conditions the seeds of trees germinate readily and all trees continue to make a vigorous growth. These * great forests, says Horticulture, are due to the climatic conditions of the region. On. the east slope of the Cascades the rainfall Is much less, and here the bull pine is found, interspersed with beautiful white pines, which sometimes reaches a height of 200 feet and a diameter of 6 feet, although thqre are many trees over 100 feet high and 3 or 4 feet in diameter. The trfee resembles our Eastern white pine, but is more slender and with slender spreading or . somewhat drooping branches.

Valuable Chinese Medicine.

Curious experiences occasionally come to administrators of even so prosaic a department as the customs.' A Sydney correspondent tells of one which recently befell Mr. N. Colston Lockyer, the Federal Assistant Comp-troller-General. Above the mantelpiece In his office is nailed a sun dried lizard. It had been imported by an enterprising Chinese merchant, who desired Mr. Lockyer to take particular note of it and instruct his officers as to its nature and the amount of duty chargeable on similar consignments in bulk. ’The Chinaman explained that dried lizard 4vas a very important item in the pharmacopaeia of the Celestial Empire, and when ground to powder possessed medicinal properties of untold value. The officers of the department were at a loss to know how to classify the article, their choice apparently lying between drug, preserved food and prohibited vermin. Mr. Lockyer cut the Gordian knot by classifying the “medicine lizard" as “unenumerated” and admitting it duty free.

New 12-Cent Stamp.

A new twelve-cent postage stamp la to be provided by the Post Office Department to meet the changed conditions resulting from the increase of the fee for registering letters and parcels from 8 to 10 cents. Acting Postmaster General Stewart has requested the Secretary of the Treasury to authorize the preparation of such. The new stamp will ultimately result in the discontinuance of the thirteen cent stamp. The latter was calculated to cover the cost of the eight? cent registry fee and the 5 cents internatlonal postage rate. The fifteen cent stamp will serve this purpose for the registry fee has been increased from 8 to 10 cents. The proposed twelve-cent registry fee and the two-cent postage rate In this country and for England and Germany. The twelve-cent stamp was discontinued some years ago. It bore the head of Washington.

Valuable Common Land.

No fewer than 1,500 towns and villages In Germany still own and have owned down from the middle ages so much common land that their inhabitants pay neither rates nor taxes. Five hundred of these townships and villages derive so great a rental from their lands that they are able, In addition, to pay every citizen, on New Tear’s day, a bonus of from $25 to SIOO as his share of the surplus revenues.

One of Fashion’s Follies.

A lady came on an odd-looking bag the other day In one of the fashionable London shops. It was in expensive leather, and seemed too large for an ordinary hand-bag; also it had a curious opening cht at one side towards the top. “Ladles use It for carrying their little dogs.” the salesman explained.

Early Showed Greatness.

Andrew Jackstm was a marvel of precocity. He carried a flintlock musket, as a soldier of the revolutionary army, at the age of 14. At 23 he was appointed by Washington district attorney of Tennessee. He was a Undted States Senator at 80. He did not reach the presidency until he was 62.—Sunday Magazine.

Intellect and the Body.

Men of .stupendous intellect too often have little bodily powers, for, according to the law of the balancing and conservation of energies, all power here goes to the brain, and little Is left for physical use and conventional display; and, indeed, genius has too often lacked even self-ontrol.

To Take Place of Saltpeter.

By the aid of electric-chemical production of manures containing atmospherlc nitrogen, Germany expects soon to largely decrease Its Importation of saltpeter from ChllL

A Suggestion.

I cannot think but that the world would be better and brighter if our teachers would dwell on the Duty of Happiness as well as the Happiness of Duty.—Sir John Lubbock. ?r ’

The Servant Question.

’That woman seems to have a lot of trouble with her help.” “Tea, she passes her life on the doorstep, either welcoming an angel or dismissing < fiend!”—Ufa.
