There is danger in taking ether. A man
may let out the inmost secrets of his life while
under its influence. A citizen of Lawrence,
Mass, inhaled the insidious vapor the other
day for the purpose of having a tooth ex-
tracted, and as he began to regain his con-
sciousness, anxiously inquired, 'Where am
IP' ''In Jail for killing your wife," respond
ed the facetious dentist. ''In Jail for killing
my wife! always thought it would come to
that" That man needs watching.
Gin London no man thinks of blacking his
own bootsp' said naughty Britain once to
the late Mr.. Lincoln, whom he found polish
ing his calfskin CATERS. ''Whose boots does
he black ?" quietly responded Uncle Abe.

through the archaeological enterprise of Mr..
Wood. During the last twelve months a con-
siderable area Of the temple has been freed from
the alluvial deposit which, following on the
ravages of the Goths and the Byzantines, had
closed over the remains ofthe giant building, and
oblitsrated its very site. In the course Of this
psocess Of oisentsmbment many architectural
marbles, more or less mutilated, have been dis-
covered, and colossal columns-with diameter
Of six feet-have been unearthed, proving this
Temple Of Diana to have exceed in magnitude
all other known examples Of Greek archits scturei
Mr.. Woods labors were first carried on at his
private expense, but subsequently the trustees
Of the British Museum took the matter in hand,
and the more recent Investigations have been
conducted under their auspices.

those who have investigated the subject can
be aware of the enormous waste caused by

full serio-comic drama of "Rent Day !"
will be presented i'll fine style, as also
the amusing comedy Of" Nan the Good

French song in his inimitable
style. We advise those desiring to
secure reserved seats to apply early,

house. Everybody will he bent upon

few will let slip the chance to attend
so pleasing an entertainment as that
Of Saturday bids fair to be.

THE THEATRE.

The fourth entertainment given by
the d. S. G. 3. Theatrical Association
at the new hall, last Saturday evening,
was better attended than its prede-
cessor, and passed off very pleasantly
indeed. Quite a number of the mem
bers of the Ascension Brass Band and
the St. Cecilia Philharmonic Society
were present in response to compli-
mentary tickets of invitation, and like
the rest of the spectators enjoyed the
performances greatly if their outward
expressions of approval are to be taken
as evidence of inward qualification.
The splendid drama Of "The Old
Guard" was rendered in fine style.
Mr.. J. j. Claverie as the Old Guard
carried off the laurels of the occasion,
being well sustained by Miss E. Con
dram in the character of Meidnie. Miss
C. Blumenthal as Lady Bcaurile, Mr..
J. Gondran as Henri Lcfeuere, and Mr..
Victor Maurin as Rdrson.
This was followed by recitation
of "The Drunkard's Dream" by Mr..
L. E. Bentley, which the audience
were pleased to applaud quite hearth
ly.
An amusing French farce entitled
Tranchant ct Tonnant" came next,
and was performed with much gusto,
provoking frequent bursts of laughter
and applause from the spectators.
Messrs. j. Lafargue and j. Israel as
Tonchdnt and Ionnant proved them
selves excellent comedians, while
Misses E. Gondran and NJ. Ferrier as
Rosa and Julia performed faultlessly
we'll. Miss Terrier appeared for the
first time, and the self-possession and
good memory she exhibited indicate
that she possesses the traits necessary
for !, successful dramatic performer.
Mr.. j. j. Claverie as B,i>urd was up
to his standard, and Mr.. j. Gonuran
us Team made no errors.
The character recitation of "Pity
the Sorrows of Poor Old Man" by
Mr., John A. Cheeyers followed. and
was well received. Mr.. Cheevers has
considerable reputation as an actor
in our community and he fully sus-
tanned it Saturday light.
The entertainment concluded with
the amusing French farce of q Tn
Chereu pour Dcur Tctcs," which was
well rendered. Messrs. j. j. Claverie
as Bddureau, Gervais Gauthreaux as
Dr.. Pa,Juito, and Jules Gondran as
1obin, and Miss Marie Ferrier as
Ihercse formed the cast of characters
and it was good one.
Altogether the entertainment was
gratifying to audience and perform
ers, and we feel confident is but the
precursor Of many more to follow.
