MATTERS.
John a. stevens Gives a Very oredIta-
Bile Performance.

The size Of the audience which assem-
bled at the opera house last evening was
disproportioned TO the merits of the at
traction offered. The drama of Unknolcn
is of the sensational order. but as pre-
sented by Mr.. Stevens and his company,
is without the strained effort, the high
strung rant which 50 often makes the SEN
s~ational drama an abject failure. Sensa-
tional plays are the objects of the special
wrath of critics, yet there are times when
a strong cast, a delicate adaptation Of in
cidents to the progress Of the events por-
trayed. the introduction of appropriate
comedy. and the absence of attempts to
crowd too much incident into the plot,
will rescue the sensational drama from the
errors so generally charged against it.
UnAnoion, as given by Mr.. Stevens and
his company, is an illustration of such an
exception.
The difficult and dangerous role as
sumed by Mr.. Stevens is carried just to
that invisible line where successful acting
ends and ranting begins, but no matter
how great the temptation, he never crosses
the impalpable barrier; although the char
acter Of the Unknown" continually sur
rounds the actor with dangers, Mr.. Stevens
avoids them every one. The captious
critic could not deny the strength of the

THE FIG.
IT'S PREPARATION FOR MARKET'

The preparation of the fig for
market is so simple that any family
having the trees may succeed.
They REQUIRE no sugar or syrup, as
the fruit dries, it forms its own
sugar. The best plan is to hold a
sheet under the trees, then shake
the trees, then shake the limbs hard
enough to make the ripe fall. Do
not place the sheet upon the
ground as the ripe figs will burst
omen and be ruined for drying.
Prepare a bath of strong I've, made
from potash, such as as will swim
an egg have this boiling hot put
the figs in a basket and dip them in
clear water let them drip a short
time and they are ready for drying
The reason why they ire placed in
the boiling I've is to destroy the
acrid gum in the skin and to des-
troy the color of the purple fig. Ii
dried in the open air hurdles
should be made with narrow Stats
upon which to place the fruit.
Keep them in the sunshine as much
as possible to facilitate rapid dry
ing. The second day you can fat
ten the figs by pressing them with
the hand. The hurdles with the
fruit on them must be placed under
shelter at night, or when it rains
The objection to drying in the open
air is that fly lays its egg in the
fruit and in short time they be
come wormy this can be obviatec
by heating them in an oven O
stove, just hot enough to destro!
the vitality Of the egg, but not no
enough to candy the fruit. 1t re
quires little practice to know
when the fruit is dry enough the,
should be soft enough to pack clos
in a box with moderate pressure
keep better when packed close AM
are freer from the attack of insects
The boxes should contain fro1
ten to fifteen pounds, as in masse
of this size they are not likely T
become dry and iusipid. In max
ing the boxes use oak, cypress 2
gum, but do not use pine, as it WI
impart turpentine taste to th
fig.

a new use for snaiIs has been
discovered. Rev. Francis Barnes
Of London, was suffering from q
severe attack of eczema. Walking
at nightfall in his garden, his leg
paining, his eye SUDDENLY fell upon
q snail. In an instant he seized 1t
and rubbed it upon the itching
part. The result was immediate
reliof, and not the creepy, crawling
sensation preiudiced persons might
anticipate. Encouraged thus he
hunted up two or three more snails
and, determining to get at the ker-
mel of the matter, stripped of their
shells aud applied the houseless
slugs to the eczema in such q way
that their essential juices should,
as he puts it, "dry in" That night
he slept in perfect ease. In a day
or two his eczema was gone.
