Dallas Female college Enieriainmeni
According to IA previous announce
mOnt, there was pleasant entertainS
ment at the Dallas Female College
building last evening. The weather
being agreeable, large aud select uu-
dirnce gathered and filed the house.
The entertainment was opened by n
beautifully executed medley Gy Par
ker's band. Then came the tableauX
as per programme, with music be-
tween each scene. The tableauX were

tangled,n "Esther before Ahasnerus,"
"Wathohing the old year out" See
Ing to new year in" "Game Of life"
Ia three scenes, appeal Of Mary
stuart to Elizabeth" The selections
of tableauX was an excellent one,
were excellent, aud the genuine
art and talent displayed Ia
their arrangement reflects great
credit upon the lady directors.
The statuary appeared IN cold and
rigid ~ marble itself, and told plainly
that all parcipitators had determined
to perfectly portray their respective
representation. When this part OF the
performance closed, the audience
directed their steps to the second story
Of the building, where most bounti'
ful supply of luxurles were spread for
the enjoyment OF the inner man. The
guests exhibited their appreciation of
the whole affair by their merrlment,
and reluctance at leaving. We would
like to make personal mention Of the
enterprising ladies that have spent
30 much time and energy In 30
laudable cause, but fearing we
have not all their names must
forbeat mentioning any. We are
privileged to announce that another
entertainment and supper will be given
in the same house, and for the same
purpose to~night, when all who wish
not only to enjoy an evening, but aid
in IA noble enterprise should not fail
to attend. More seats will be pro.
vided tonight, hoping to accommodate
all.

MOrDllOlflania.

It is said that the practice of injecting
morphine into the body to allay suffering
and sleeplessness, has introduced new
and very formidable scourge in Ger
many, called morphomania.
"Tradespeople, merchants, judges, bar.
risters, soldiers, students, doctors and
clergymen become the victims of the
habit, and when the medical attendants
are called in it is too late to counteract
the evil. At first, these simultaneous
injections offer the quickest and easiest
means to allay pain and bring rest to the
suffer. But to prove efectual in its cure,
the treatment must be continued for a
certain time; and during that period the
patient becomes so accustomed to these
skin injections that they become indis-
pensable. When the medical practition
er refuses. to increase the doses, the
patient, unable to sleep or rest without
the calming injection, procures the nee
essary instruments and applies the
remedy himself. Sometimes, also, even
after the patient has been cured without
any undue doses, and when he should
dispense with the opium injections, he
delays doing 80 under the plea that they
make him sleep and rest SO we'll. In
fact, when once these simultaneous in
jections have begun, they can be rarely
left off. Like drink, the appetite for
them increases until chronic drunken
ness ensues." tss.t IS

Artists SuDerstitiOns,

The Signale of Leipsic records the fol-
lowing superstitions of artists: Jose
phine Gallmeyer always is tardy in her
dressing room because she believes it
brings her bad luck to be punctual.
Frederike Gosmann always executed
three scrapes with her right foot before
stepping on the stage. Therese Tietjens
believed that the person would speedily
die who shook hands with her over the
threshold at parting. Rachel and Mars
claimed to have celebrated their greatest
successes Immediately after they had
met a funeral. The petitr Dcjaz"t always
made her entrance with a tiny seed in
her mouth, which she would lhrowHNdv
as soon as she had to open her lips Once
she dropped the seed from her auJNh
when the Marquis de Y. made pfuI ~ll
of marriage to her, and She rejected liU.

Every day on which one of Hol"vy'~

Meyerbeer regularly washed his hands
before beginning an overture, and with
closed eyes prayed a Hamalach Hagoiek. A
story is also told Of a Vienna tragedienne

the SiQnale claims to have often seen peep-
ing from this singular hiding place.

preached in Jerusalem. Here was

preached in Jerusalem. Here was
Lazarus, His friend, whom he called
from the tomb. Here lived Martha and
Mary, whom Jesus loved-Martha who
served Him at supper and Mary who
chose the better part. We ride under
the overhanging ruins Of the dwelling in
which Jesus found home, shelter, friend
ship, love; where He came for peace
after the hard days work in Jerusalem.
We walk around Bethany-which is
only a collection of ruins and novels
passing over the graveyard where
Lazarus was buried. We continue along
the road that leads to Jerusalem again,
not over the mountain, but the one slop-
ing near its base. 1t was over this road
that Jesus rode when he entered Jerusa-
lem on an ass. We are told also that
here it was that David passed in sorrow
when pursued by the ungrateful Absalom.
But our thoughts are not with David,
and we pause at the head of the hill,
where Jerusalem comes in view. 1t was
here that Jesus wept over Jerusalem and
prophesied its destruction, and we can
we'll imagine the beauty of the fair city
as it nestled on the hillside-the temple
dazzling all eyes with its glory, the bat
Elements and walls menacing all men
with their power. Then we kept on
down the valley of Jehoshaphat and
over the brook and around the city to
another entrance called the Damascus
Gate. 1t was only from thence short
walk to our hotel. The walk had been
a weary one, but no one felt WEAKNESS,
for every memory it awakened was a
memory of the noblest moments of our
lives, and every step we had taken had
been over hallowed ground.

Vaccinating with Wax.
From the San Juan Cali Times

Ao WIN ~H' u van NSoi'l AihcS.
Some years ago, as the story goes, there
was great furore in the neighborhood
in which the physician resided about
smallpox, which was then raging fear
fully at San Francisco, and perhaps 9th
err placed in the state. Everybody
desired to be vaccinated that had not
gone through with the operation, and
those who had children were DESTROYS to
have them vaccinated also. People APP
piled to the physician in question, and
he sent to San Frncisco for a quantity of
pure vaccine matter In the course of
time it came to him n,losed IN wax.
He commenced vaccinating, and in q
short time hundreds had undergone the
operation. Finally the vaccine matter
was reached, and then the physician dis
covered why it was it had not taken on
any of his subjects. He looked at the
matter and smcIled it, and then said
" Confound it, the matter is rotten;
know now why it didnt take" He
threw it away. He had vaccinated all
his subjects win wax.

Novelties in Paper.

When the usefulness of compressed
paper for railway wheels was demon
two or three years ago, people
asked "what next?" The question can
now be answered. The latest use of
paper appears to be for chimney pots.
They are made in Breslau, and are light
and durable. Before the paper pulp is
moulded and compressed into the requir-
ed shape, it is treated with chemicals
which render it non-infammable.
Specimens of paper and cloth made from
the California cactus was recently ex-
hibited before the Maryland Academy
Of Sciences. The cactus grows album
dainty in many Of our western states and
territories, and it is found on arid soil
where nothing can be cultivated. The
success that has been met with in making
paper from this plant is so marked that
the business will probably be attempted
on large scale.

Cricket Fighting.

In some parts of China crickets are
regularly trained for combat as English
pugilists, the method being as follows:
The crickets when captured are kept
singly in earthenware pots, at the bot
torn of which is small quantity of mold,
and very small Cup containing few
drops of water for the insects to drink
out of and battle in. Their food con-
sists of two kinds Of fish, called man-yu
and kut-yu. Insects called loo-kum-
chung, tun-tsit-chung, and pin-tam-
chung are occasionally given to them.
They get honey to strengthen them, and
other items of their diet are boiled chest
nuts and rice. For two hours every
night the female cricket is placed in the
pot with the male. Smoke is supposed
to be injurious to their health, and the
rooms in which they are kept must be
perfectly free from it. A charm or mys-
tic scroll to avert evil influences is some
times placed on the cricket's pot. If
they are sick from over-eating, red in
sects called hun-chung are given them.
If the sickness arises from cold, they get
mosquitoes; IL from neat, SnOOLS OF Ine
green pea plant. Shuk-tip, or baL,boo
butterflies, are given for difficulty in
breathing. At the cricket-pit, which
the Chinese call lip, the insects are
matched according to size, weight, and
color. The stakes are in some cases very
large. It is, however, generally sup
posed by the government that they con-
sist Of presents of sweet cakes. A cricket
which wins many victories is called shan
lip, or conquering cricket, and when it
dies it is placed in a small silver coffin
and buried. Crickets which display
great fighting powers are not unfre-
quently sold for large sums.

WAR INDEMNITIES.
How Much the Losers Have Had TO
Pay i'm Times Past.

ray 1AlHcn
As far as yet known, Turkey is to pay
/, 400, 900, 900 of rubles, besides 100000
of rubles to compensate Russian residents
in Constantinople for the losses during
the war, and also (amount not stated, but
considerable to pay for the maintenance
of prisoners of war; for the reopening of
one of the most accessible mouths Of the
Danube, and for giving bonds to REIN.
burse Russian holders of Turkish "prom-
ises to pay" Estimating the silver rube
at IS cents of American money, the
Russian merchants in Constantinople
are Immediately" to receive 81, 100000
in hard cash, and the war indemnity will
amount to $l,259,0G0, GOO. In lieu Of
Cash payment Che who cannot pay in malt
must pay in meal, saith the proverb),
Russia is to obtain occupation, which
means ownership, of territory in Armenia
and on the borders of the Black sea.
These may seem to be, and are. very
heavy demands, but cannot be cited as
unusual. There was Russo-Turkish
war which terminated in September,
1929, by treaty under which Sultan
Mahmoud IL. had to pay $4,000,000 as
compensation to Russian merchants, and
also 100000 in ten half-year INSTALL
ments of $2,500,000 each, Russian troops
to occupy the country until the utter
most farthing had been reimbursed, the
whole left bank of the Danube being sur
rendered to the Muscovite invaders.
There are yet further instances. Ma
poleon, during the whole of the first en-
pire, had paid one-half the ex- general
penditure of France by pecuniary as
sessment on foreign countries. After
Waterloo, settling day arrived, on which,
by the treaty of Paris Nov. 20, 1879,
France had to pay the large sum of
$780,, 100000 to the foreign countries
that had SO been laid under contribu-
ton; also, having to pay, clothe, and
entirely maintain foreign army of oc-
cupation 100000 men) for not less than
three, nor more than five years, under
the command of Wellington, until the
whole amount was paid.
This is no isolated incident of the past.
The principle which was acted upon, as
here stated, at the close of the French
war in 1915, and of the Russian war in
1928, was reviewed in 1864, when Prussia
and Austria, having invaded Denmark
without any just cause, overpowered her
numerical force, robbed her of the
Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, and
exacted a large money payment to defray
the expenses of the war. Still more
recent was the exaction OF five millions
of francs (S1, 0o,00O,000, by Prussia
from France, as war indemnity in 1871 !,
with the surrender of the Rhine PROV
inces of Alsace and l. rrane. The
money was paid in gold before the APP
pointed day, and the provinces were an
nexed at once. Bismarck was far more
exacting toward France in 1871 than
Gortschakoh has been against Turkey in
1873. The Franco-German war cost
1926, 100000, which, deducted from the
$l,O00,0 100000 of indemnity paid by
France, leaves clear profit III S765 ,00O,-
900. The cost of the war was 81 ,S55 ,00O,-
600, without reckoning the money value
Aisace-Lorraine, estimated at $500 1000
600 more. War is bad thing for the
losers

Miss Bella Smith spent ..4..
and early womanhood at Louisville,
KY. Just prior to the dawning of mature
age Miss Smith happened into an ice
cream parlor to refresh tortured nature.
On the wall was hung the picture of a
mana seemingly fair and noble Romeo.
The effect was thrilling. Miss Smiths
bright star of destiny had risen and she
had beheld it. Forty-eight hours from
the first overwhelming realization Of the
existence Of her preordained better half
Miss Smith had written to the original
of the picture at Dallas and was speeding
thither. The original of the picture de-
clined her. Poor woman! Her vision
was Of a Romeo; its realization was =
seedy, tobacco chewing man; the result
of her wooing, rejection, and its conse-
quence trial by q court and Danish
ment to an insane asylum by jury.
