MENPHIs THEArER. = Another large
audience greeted Joseph Murphy last
night. The drama Help was the piece
presented and well received. Mr.. Muir
ply is particularly pleasingin the differ
ent roles he presents, and in his
Dutch specially business he is very
amusing. The support rendered by the
Davy Dramatic Company can be com
mended, and especially we may men
ton Mr.. Meredith, as Tracy Randall,
and Mr.. Morton as "Nubbles," both
roles being leading, and we'll sustain ed.
Tonight, Help will be repeated, and no
doubt before a crowded house. On to-
morrsw night Manager Pennoyer takes
a benefit, on which occasion Maum Gre
will be presented, with Mr.. Murphy in
the leading roles, and supported by the
best talent of the Dramatic Company.
Mr.. Pennoyer has been a pains'taking
manager, and has worked hard to please
the public during the season. We hope
to see a crowded house tomorrow night,
so that MIR. Pennoyer may receive a
testimonial as a recognition by the pub
lie Of his services and efforts to please.

Sir John Franklin,

Nearly thirty years ago an English
expedition sailed far into the arctic seas.
There we're two vessels, the Erebus and
the Terror, commanded by Sir John
Franklin and Captain Crosier. The
mysterious fate Of these ships and their
crews has never been known in detail,
but it has passed into history that all
persisted. The vessels reached the east
ern part of Davis strait in safety, and
we're last seen moored to a mass OF float
ing ice in about 760 north latitude. No
special fears for the safety of the party
were felt until 1913; afterward success
sive expeditions went out in search Of
them. At hat time began the efforts
which Lady Franklin has never ceased
to make in hope Of obtaining some news
Of her husband. And recently she has
renewed the offer Of a. reward of Sl0,-
900, and such other inducements as are
within her power to make, for the
recovery of the records Of the expe-
dition. Long ago she was convinced
of her husbands death. In 1860 a tin
case was found beneath a heap Of stones
on a desolate island, and it contained a
document stating that Sir John Franklin
had died in June, l847, that the ships
had been deserted, and that los Of the
survivors had started to reach the Fish
river. And here a dark curtain has
fallen, hiding their fate from view. Lady
Franklin believed that the records Of
the expedition we're buried not far
from the spot where the ships we're
abandoned, and may yet be found, and
also that some documents may be ir the
possession Of the Esquimaux. The
chance Of success seems small to the
public mind, but, with a devotion and
faithfulness most rare, this patient wo-
man clings to the hope OF hearing some
thing about the journey of her husband.
Lady Franklin is in feeble health, but at
her desire q niece Of hers has lately re-
newed the offer Of reward, and brought
to public notice the grounds on which
she bases the probabilities Of success.

German Kitchens.

From Fraser's Magazine.l
The kitchen is a small, bare room,
with a brick or concrete floor; no oil
cloth, no cocoanut mating, no carpet,
no pretense at comfort. You wonder
how all the routine Of cookery and soul
lery can be carried on in it. The copper
pans on shelf aud peg shine warm and
bright from the walls; the window is
clean, and buckets full of water, with a
large brass water-scoop, show that all is
ready for the days operations. The
mere cooking is far more easily accom-
plished in a German than in an English
household. The hot metal plates, pro-
vided With numerous circular holes,
into which rings can be fitted, or from
which they can be hooked out, to suit
the exigencies of the various pots and
pans, accommodate any number OF ket-
ties or stempans. These stand simmer
ing, boiling or stewing, according TO their
position, and are plunged into the circu-
lar holes by which they come nearer to
the fire when accelerated speed is desir-
able. The servant has here again a vast
amount of labor saved her; not only
that she has no notwithstanding, fender
polishing, or black-leading to accom-
plish, but that she can get all her plats
readily, without burning her face and
hands or straining her muscles as with
us, by stretching over a wide hearth in
front of a scorching fire, to the detri
ment alike of her clothes, health and
temper. / may mention that drunken
ness is quite unknown among female
servants IN Germany, and one cannot
help feeling that a great deal has been
done for them by this contrivance of the
hot metal plates.
Knowing the value OF fuel, and the
extreme frugality which is observed in
all households as to this most expensive
item of domestic economy, a German
servant will give you no trouble in the
matter. Having heated water for your
early coffee 10 mere handful of firing
has been necessary for this), she allows
the fame to die out. She will draw the
few living embers to the mouth of the
grating in the hot plate, and lay a piece
Of peat upon them before she goes out to
market. When she returns a few puffs
of breath blow the ~smoldering heap into
life, and her saucepans will soon be
boiling in merry concert. The moment
dinner is over she will I'll every avail
able vessel with water, so that she has a
supply sufficiently warm to wash up
with, and the FIRE again dies down. 1t
has to be lighted for supper, but the
same frugal rule is observed, and as the
hot plate affords no warmth beyond that
Immediately beneath the saucepan,
there is no temptation to make a larger
fire; nor do | remember, in a single in
stance, having had to demonstrate as to
waste Of fuel.

LARGE THERMoNETER.-The largest Their
mometer in the world is probably the Vic
toria tubular bridge at Montreal. In its
construction, calculation had to be made for
its expansion and contraction, by heat and
cold. Either end of each tube rests on
rollers 50 constructed that they move on the
abutments and piers. BY which they are
supported. In sudden changes of tempera-
ture, the length of the tubes undergoes a
great change. and the movement of such
heavy masses, though placed on rollers,
causes considerable agitation. The rumb-
ling of their motion can be distinctly heard
ct points near the bridge. If there was a
graduated scale, attached to the bridge, it
would form a monstrous thermometer.
