THERE is revival of popularity in
Yankee plays and characters on the
stage. About ten years ago the liking
for them faded out almost entirely, and
even John Owens "Solon Single
ceased to draw anywhere. Now the
largest theaters in the country are filed
by Denman Thompson's "Joshua Whit

and Neil Burgess "Widow Bedott."
and all these are characters of the old
fashioned Yankee kind.

Charles O'COnOr in Public Life.

Hon. John Bigelow contributes
'Some Recollections of Charles O'Con-
Or to the March Century. from which
we quote the following: ''Mr. O'Conor
never understood nor became entirely
reconciled to his want of success in
public life. Why every one loved to
recognize and do homage to his pro-
fessional and personal supremacy, and
so few cared to accept him as their
political guide, was a problem which
always puzzled him, and contributed
not little, | think, to weaken his faith
in popular judgments. The true solu-
ton of it probably is that the very
qualities which gave him his preemi-
nence at the bar in a corresponding de-
gree untitled Aim for the representative
duties of statesman. He went so
deeply into the philosophy or the
rationale of every subject that he natur-
ally had little respect for the superficial
and often puerile reasons which the
mass of mankind would assign even
for the best inspired actions He could
never pool his opinions in committee
or in any representative body, and be
content, us every statesman, in a de-
mocracy at least, is required to be,
with the resultant decisions of ma
iority. Thus it happened that in the
Convention in 1916. to which he was
chosen more especially to secure his
aid in rcmodeling our Judiciary, he
usually voted alone on committees,
and opposed almost alone the Constitrl-
ton as finally adopted The logic of
his mind was so ineXorable that he
could not bow to those subtle forces or
instincts which go to make up public
opinion, nor recognize the soundness
of Talleyrand's famous saying that
There is one person wiser than Any
body, and that is Everybody He was
thoroughly loyal to the conclusions of
his own mind when they had been de-
liberately formed that it seemed to him
pusillanimous to surrender them to
mere numbers or because of any possi-
bic consequences that might result to
himself or others from adhering to
them.

The March of The Workers.

What is this, the sound and rumor? What is
this that all men hear
Like the wind in hollow valleys when the
storm is drawing near,
Like the rolling on of ocean in the evetide OF
fear?
'Tis the people marching on.
Whittier go they, and whence come they9
What are these of whom We tell?
In what country are they dwelling 'twixt the
gates of Heaven and He'll?
Are they mine or thine for money! VIII they
serve master well?
Still the rumor's marching on.
Chorus-Hark the rolling of the thunder!
Lo, the sum- and 10, hereunder
Riseth wrath, and hope. and won
And the host comes marching on.
Forth they come from grief and torment; on
they wend toward health and mirth;
All the wide world is their dwelling, every
corner of the earth.
Buy them, sell them for the service, Try the
bargain what It's worth.
For the days are marching on.
These are they who build thy houses, weave
thy raiment, win thy wheat,
Smooth the rugged. fill the barren, turn the
bitter into sweet,
All for thee this day-and ever. What reward
for them is meet?
Till the host comes marching on.
Many hundred years, passed over, have they
labored, deaf and blind:
Never. tidings reached their sorrow, never
hope their toll might find.
Now at last they've heard and hear it, and
their cry comes down the wind;
And their feet are marching on.
o, ye rich men, hear and trembiei for with
words the sound is rife:
"Once for you and death we labored; changed
henceforward is the strife.
We are men, and we shall battle for the world
of men and life;
And our host is marching on.
SIS it war, then? viii ye perish as the dry

Ia it peace? Then be ye of us; let your hope
be our desire.
Come and live for life awaketh, and the world
shall never tire:
And hope is marching on.
On we march, then we the workers, and the

For the hope of every creature is the banner

The Maintenance of plant-Life.

"Hard times" come to most living
things. Plants as well as animals have
periods when they need to conserve all
their energies, husband all their vital
lty. All vegetation obeys the iniunc-
ton to multiply and replenish the earth,
but with the greatest determination
when there are present suffering and
impending death. A drought hastens
the processes of reproductions. and in
sufficient nourishment encourages an
early if not an abundant fruitfulness
In climate where hot and cold, or wet
and dry, seasons regularly succeed
each other, many of our most common
economic plants have adapted them
selves to these stated changes of out
ward conditions, and run their course
during single growing season. Such
plants constitute that large portion of
our vegetation known as the annuals
The great suntlower, that grows into
giant in single season and defies the
summer sun and storm, falls an easy
victim to the frosts of autumn. 1t,
however, prepared the way for many
successors, in the ripened seeds, each
one OF which when given favora BILE con-
dltlons Will germlnate, grow, repro
duce its kinds, and thus finish another
cycle III the realm of vegetable life.
The bean-plant, in different way,
climbs its appointed pole, enjoys the
same sunshine and showers, produces its
blossoms, fills long pods with ripened
seeds, and gives up its life like all its
fellows in the field. A compliant COM
pletes its growth in not far from hun
Ira1 o,I
vitality stored up in the grains upon
the ear. The prospective life and
activity of whole field of waving corn
may be considered as stored up in
few pecks of apparently liieless seed
corn safely housed in The granary
We thus see that in the annual plants
the life of the species is. so to speak,
carried over from one growing season
to another in the ripened seed. The
seed is also the form in which plant life
Is easily transported from place to
place. The seed of some hedrerow
weed, as it becomes loosened from its
attachment upon the lifeless mother
plant, and is blown for rods or even
miles over the surface of the incrusted
snow,is familiar and perhaps striking
example that may enforce the meaning
TO be here conveyed. The young
plantlet in the seed, snugly packed
within thick coats, is preserved from
death, and at the same time is carried
far from the place where it was pro-
duced. The seed is the offspring OF the
plant and the childhood of its kind,
though so fashioned and protected that
itcan pass safely through a period of
drought or cold when its parent would
have succumbed. '.H0aU Funqi

An Arab Household.

He was a grand-looking old man, and
looked all the more so in his pictur-
esque Arab costume. Following him
through small lobby we ascended a
dark and narrow wooden staircase. At
the top of it we found ourselves in an
arched gallery running round a small
court. Here a few goats were wander
ing about, and from behind curtained
doorways numerous dark faces were
peeping at us. The principal lady of
the household received us at the door
of the sitting-room, and soon we were
surrounded by at least dozen women
and lots of children, not two of them
dressed alike. The poor children were
all perfectly laden with bracelets, ank-
lets and nose-rings, while few had
even nostril-rings. Indeed, many of
them looked queer little objects, with
patterns painted on their faces in scar
let, yellow or white. Some of the wo-
men, too, had white spots painted round
their ears. | thought these extremely
ugly, for they strongly resembled rows
of teeth. One exceedingly smart baby
was dressed in a yellow silk dress with
a bright crimson border and little cap
SUI uIlHOuHteu ny IuTl Ol IedlneTS All
the colors of the rainbow.
His arms and legs were perfectly
laden with jewels, and his little neck
smothered by rows and rows of beads,
from which were suspended all sorts of
charms and talismans. Several of the
women were afraid to shake hands with
me, aud one little fellow, with an enor-
nous nose-ring, screamed most Justify.
This led to our discovery that they were
afraid of my dark hands. for 1 had on
pair of brown gloves. 1t was the first
time that any of them had seen pair
of gloves, and the whole party were
very much astonished when | took
them off to find that my hands were
white. Miss Allen produced a scrap
book, and handed it first to the old
gentleman. He commenced looking at
it at the wrong end, as Arabs always
do, and evidently enjoyed the pictures
quite as much as the children. Shortly
after our arrival the servants brought
in a gilt tray with two large green COB
lets full of sweet sirup, and we had to
drink little of this, as well as three
small cups of coffee. the old gentleman
particularly wishing me to understand
''that it was Arab custom to drink not
less than three"

Mexico as a Winter Resort.

Arriving at Cuautla, we found an ex-
cellent hotel, the San Diego, directly
across the plaza from the railway sta
ton. The landlord was German. and
had been in the country about thirty
years. The hotel was one-story
structure, built around a large court,
the rooms opening upon tile-roofed
veranda. In the court was tall date
palm, with sprays of rich, orange-hued
blossoms rising among its graceful
plumes of dark green.
hardly expected to meet in an OBJ
scure Mexican town party of Ameri-
can tourists passing the time in placid
ease, just as they might be encountered
at nice Swiss inn in some Alpine val
ley. Yet we encountered at the San
Diego most delightful company of
our compatriots. One. an eminent art
ist, who was something of an invalid,
was enthusiastic over the delicious air
and glorious scenery of the place.
These winter days in Cuautla were all
like our ideal June weather at home, he
said. There was no intense heat, while
cold and chilliness were absolute
strangers. Mexico he regarded as su-
perior to Florida as winter refuge.
In these warm lands, beside the endless
scenic variety, there was an unchang-
ing climate all through the winter; at
least on the Pacific side of the noun
tainS.
''And then there are no mosquitoes
here, said another friend. Il have
never seen land so free from them.
The few insects one meets here are
really contemptible; | feel inclined to
pity them for their feebleness."
1t Il, indeed, q great mistake for peo-
pie to come to Mexico from the North
in the winter, and confine themselves
to the capital. They experience the
chilly weather which now and then Wis
its the high regions of the central ta-
bleland at that season, and with the
abrupt transitions of cold and heat
from morning to noon and night they
at times feei more discomfort than in
their wintry Northern homes, where
genial hearth-tres glow, unth at last
they perhaps leave for home in disgust,
matchmaking the whole country. All
this is mistake, when on every hand
are pleasant places like Cuautla within
easy reach OF the capital by rail, jour
neying to which might fill many weeks
with round of health-giving pleasure,
novel scenes greeting the eye every
where. There is much of the greatest
interest TO tourists to be seen in and
around the capital, but there are pleas
anter winter abiding places near by. 1t
is, however, a good central point from
which to make agreeable tours all over
the country. Now that railway COM
munication with the United States is
completed, there will be many pleasure
travellers to Mexico. w en- they come,
they should remember that there are
rich, warm valleys down below, close
at hand, where simple existence seems
a luxury, amid the delicious airs Of
genuine tropical surroundings. .-Syt-

The Quadruped's Superior Power

One evening, many years ago the
writer of this attended a social gather
ing of young folks in Wisconsin vii
lage, and, after various games had been
played, all involving more or less os-
culatory practice. there was lull in
the exercises, and we all sat around
in the front parlor eating nuts and pop
corn. A very fine Newfoundland dog
lay stretched out near the fire, and
Carrie, the lively daughter of the host
ess, called Bruno to her, told him to
stand up, and amused us for some time
by placing kernels of corn on his nose,
and repeating: "One, two, three
fret when the dog would toss the
corn up. catch it and eat it with much
relish. She then made him lie down
and roll over, and do various tricks,
finally closing by having him stand on
his head. As the noble dog resumed
his natural position. Carrie said to
Charlie W: There, Charlie, you
can't do that" just at that moment,
when all eyes were still on the dog, ne
dropped on his launches, and COM

Balky Cook Stoves.

Julia writes, saying she has anew
range in the kitchen that vexes her
badly, because it won't draw. and asks
what she can do with it. We wrote
back and told her that Judging from
the fact that it was in the kitchen we
inferred that it was y short ran re, and
advised her to either go out of the bus
iness altogether OF else put up Creed
moor range of 1000 or /, $50 yards. If
she erected range of this kind we
told her. and then advertised literally
and offered a lot of 800 medals. cost
ing 20 cents dozen, as prizes, and
hired an assortment of ancient colonels
and brigadier-generals to loaf around
the premises in full uniform, we thought
it would be apt to draw aud paw her
for the outlay, provided she run it in
connection with tirst-class bar-room.
Then she wrote back and told us that
her range had no target and that her
husband was policeman who was all
the officer she needed. and informed
us she referred to new $50 cook-stove
which she had just purchased, and
which she could not induce to draw by
any means. We board in bean -es-
taurant at the South end ourselves,
and are not troubled with balky cook
stoves. Before coming to Boston we
drove mnle team, and whenever they
threw up their heads and refused to
draw We got some shavings and kind
ling-wood and built fire under them
1t worked to perfection every time. 1t
is understood that cook-stoves have
been made to draw by the same method.
1t would be a good plan to try this
scheme before swapping the stove away

and corn pepper. Boston Globe

THAT DIRTY DANDRUFF
just as the Baby Wore 1t.

Among the faded, moth-eaten but
priceless treasures displayed at the Ex-
position in the Louisiana historical ex-
hibit is a little child's dress with small
handbag to match, cap and linen-em-
broidered mittens. 1t is an absurdly
old-fashioned thing with a long, point
ed waist, lots of gathers and full puffs,
and no one ever saw the like of the tiny
stitches; here and there the yellow bits
of thread lay upon the faded fabric like
fine powder of gold. There are
creases in the cap-strings-that quaint,
old-fashioned cap-and the embroider-
ed mittens make one think long time
ago they were tossed aside hastily for
the last time. And this is So Fifty

The "Ad" Man in History.

History viii take care of the great
events of to-day and hand them down
to our great grandchildren in. many a
ponderous volume; but the more inter
esting picture of the daily life of their
ancestors will have to be made from
the advertisements now printed in the
daily papers. The Romans wrote their
advertisements and notices on the
blank walls of buildings, and these, as
we find them in Pompeii to-day, give
an animated and life-like representa-
ton of the very things we desire E,
know about this once gay and pleasure
loving people. But modern life reflects
its interesting little phases, moods,
rivalries and concerns in the broad
pages of the daily journal; and a hun
dred years hence the advertisements in
some well preserved copy of the Sum
day edition will give more vivid pict-
ure of what is going on in the city to-
day than all the solemn histories fur
nish. 1t is the advertiser who writes
for posterity.-St. Louis ReDu6[icax.

English Ballet Girls.

Mr. Hollingshead. | see, has contrib
uted his views of the ballet to a cotem-
porary. According TO him, ballet
girl ought to be pretty, and it is all the
better for the managerif if Washers come
to look at her, while, if they wait for
her outside the stage door, it is no
business of his That ballet girl
ought to be fairly good-looking is un-
questionable, for her mission is to ex-
hibit the poetry of motion and to post
ure in tableaux. Mothers are not ad-
mitted behind the scenes, for there is
no room for them, and clearly the man
ager cannot see all his ballet girls
home. 1t therefore depends very much
on the girl herself what she does out of
the theater. But the same may be said
of the girls in telegraph offices and in
shops. | do not know how a ballet
girl is exposed to more temptation
when dancing on stage with the foot
lights between her and the spectators
than a shop-girl behind q counter.
There are, no doubt. girls who 90 into
the ballet as means to an end. But
this is the exception. Ballet girls,
generally speaking, are relations of
persons connected with the theatrical
profession. The theater is their world,
and they are accustomed to its ways.
At rehearsals they hang together, and in
their everyday garments they look very
much the reverse of houris Their
chief pleasure consists in eating sweet
stuff and cakes, on which food they like
to lunch. Their language to each 9TH
er, and when in the room where they
all dress, is not refined. but rather the
reverse, and it probably would surprise
a girl not to the manner born and sud-
denly thrust among them; this, howev-
er, is the worst that can be said against
them, and when they leave the theater
they do not loiter, because they have
but one thought-to catch the bus

Points About pauseS.

Judge Jeffrey, the editor of the Ed
inbur@h RcricW. prided himself upon
his ability in punctuating. Lord Cock
burn said Of him: There was no one of
the friends OF his later acquisition for
whom lie had greater admiration or re-
gard than Lord Macaulay. This Judge,
OF a. revised the proof-sheets of Ma
caulay's first volumes of the History of
England with the diligent and minute
care of 4 corrector of the press toiling
for bread, not merely suggesting
changes IN the matter and the express
sion. but attending to the very commas
and coions-a task which, though hum
ble, would not be useless, because it
was one at which long practice had
made him very skillful; indeed, he used
to boast that it was one OF his peculiar
eXcellencies. On returning proof to
an editor of the ReUieW, he says:
Il have myself recti.ied most of the
errors, and made many valuable verbal
improvements in a small way. But
my great task has been with the punct-
uation, on which | have. as usual, ac-
