A MUSTARD SPoYGE-Dr 3. W. Rich
ardsun recommends the use OF q sponge for
mustard poultices. He says "A sponge
makes the best mustard-carrier. The nurse
mixes the mustard in a basin with water
until The mass is smooth and of even con-
sistency. Then she takes the soft mass all
up with q clean sponge, lays the sponge in
the center of a soft white handkerchief,
ties up the corners of the handkerchief
neatly to form hold. and applies the
smooth convex surface to the skin. This
and slightly moistened, can be applied
three or four times, IS good for several
hours. and saves the trouble of making q
new poultice for application, often matter
OF importance during the WEAKNESS OF
night-watching. The sponge can afterward
easily be washed clean in warm water."-

Tributes to Senator Vest


Mr.. Vest is one of the best speak
ers in the Senate. His words are
always we'll chosen, and he has q
wonderful command of the English
language. He never hesitates Oh
seems to be groping for an express
sion to make his meaning clear. He
does occasionally fall into that fowery
and ornate kind of oratory so much
admired fifty years ago, and when he
does it is usually done at the expense
of his argument. But so long as he
confines himself to figures and facts
and cold logic Mr.. Vest proves him
self wonderfully interesting talker
In the running fire of debate he ha
no equal except it be Mr.. ingalls,
and he yields in precision and con
ciseness Of statement to none Of hi
colleagues on the democratic side an
to few only on the republican.

Silver Spur.

1t is seldom that better pleased
audience leaves the Schultz opera
house than that which witnessed
Scott Marbles new play, "Silver
Spur" last night. There is some
thing refreshing, after long season
of French suggestiveness and ear
splitting, hair-raising melo-drama, to
see a real American production,
wholesome in theme and moral, strong
in interest, decent in humor and orig
inal in plot and action. 1t is this
kind of play that Mr.. Marble has
constructed. His story is new, his
materials judiciously selected and
the motive clean The dialogue is
rich in language but never breaking
into lrrelevent platitudes-a trick
much In vogue with modern play
wrights end discouraged by all honest
criticism. The interest begins with
the beginning and holds throughout ;
the situations are strong and the eli
makes skillfully reached. There is no
deviation from the narrative, no irrel-
event by-play, no character but has
an essential connection with the plot.
The author has given us an American
soubrette that is not slang-cove,
and Manager Benton has been par
! ticularly kappy in finding person to
create the part. She is charmingly
original, piquant and abundantly
blessed with that pleasant quality
which the French term chic. She
brings to bear on the part rare intel
} ligence and excellent judgment. She
dances cleverly, sings better and
dresses magnifcently. The comedy
element of the play is strong; thu
humor is never forced, the wit nevel
I cheap. The dressing was superb
Manager Benton may congratulate
/ himself on the fact that ''Silve
> Spur" is "go." ."-Zanesville, Ohio
