RICHMOND THEATRE.

The Theatre has also been embellished
and improved, and will be opened for the
season tonight, when Beacon Lights "
will be produced. The scene Of the
drama is laid in Mexico, and the plot
calls for maraudcrs, miners, and soldiers.
The story is said TO be one that appeals
TO the better class Of play-goers, and the
audiences are first moved to pathOs by
the sight of n mother in search OF her
husband, accompanied by her little boy,
and this element is strengthened as the
play progresses, so that the emotional
theme is never dropped. Aftcrward the
plot is wholly one of incident. The wife
finds that her husband is dead. Before
dying he had found fortune in a rich
deposit of gold, which he left to his son.
A villain becoming acquainted with this
fact gets possession Of the boy with the
hope of ultimately securing the fortune.
This William Dawson has n Nemesis in
the person OF Phil Gordon the hero),
Il man whom he has wronged, and whose
sole desire is to bring him to justice. He
phil Gord0n) follows him to his noun
tain retreat. where, disguised san Italian,
he obtains possession OF the boy, and
successfully defies the whole band OF
maraudors. In search Of the hoy the
aid of the United States soldiers is in
voked. and the announcement Of bis
discovery by beacon-lghts is effectively
used. The plot, OF which only small
portion is here used, is most ingeniously
worked out, enlisting all through strong
interest
The comedy element is given to Colo
mel Clay Calhoun, Of Virginia, Sab, and
his rollicking niece, Carrie Calhoun

HoKY 10 DeYeIOn the Lungs.

The exercise which have found of most
value in developing the lungs may be de-
scribed as follows: Standing as erect as pos
sible, with shoulders thrown back and chest
forward, the arms hanging close to the body !;
the head up, with lips firmly closed, inhala-
ton is to be taken as slowly as may be; at
the same time the extended arms are to be
gradually raised, the back of the hands up
ward, until they closely approach each other
above the head. The movement should be so
regulated that the arms will be extended di-
rectly over the head at the moment the lungs
are completely filled This position should
be maintained from five to thirty Sec
OndS, before the reverse process is be-
gun. As the arms are gradually lowered
the breath is exhaled slowly, so the lungs
shall be as nearly freed from breath as pos
sible at the time the arms again reach the
first position at the side. By these move
msnts the greatest expansion possible is
reached, for, upon inspiration, the weight of
ths shoulders and pectoral muscles are lifted,
allowing the thorax to expand fully, while
upon exhalation in lowering the arms we
utilize the additional force of this pressure
upon the upper thorax to lender eszzi95ir Gtiea
as complete as possible.
These deep respirations should be repeated
five or six times; and the exercise gone
through with several times a day. 1t is
hardly necessary to remark that the clothing
must in no way interfere with the exercise
In some cases this exercise is more advantage
Gus when taken lying fiat on the back, in
stead of standing. In this position the in
spiratory muscles become rapidly strength
ened by opposing the additional pressure ex-
erted by the abdominal organs against the
expanding lungs. And on the other hand,
expiration is more perfect and full on ac-
count of the pressure of these organs. This
is an exercise now advocated by several lead
ing vocal teachers Of Europe. John L

Parasites Always With Us.

The habitat of parasitic fungi is extremely
varied, says Trouessart Roumeguere has
devoted more than forty pages of a large
quarto, printed in three columns, merely to
the enumeration of fungi, classified accord
ing to their position in plants, animals, or
ganic or inorganic substances, and the au-
thor himself admits that this list is far from
complete. Parasitic fungi are found on
plants belonging to all the families of the
vegetable kingdom, and also other fungi on
living animals, vertebrate and invertebrates;
on their dead bodies and on excrement; in
stagnant bodies and in the sea, on piles and
rocks.
Others prefer marshes, turf boys, healthy
ground, dunes, caves and holes, or even
places completely covered with soil, as is the
case with trufiieS. Others, again, grow upon
stones, walls and rocks; in the open air or in
ruins; or, like torula conglutinata and hi
mantia cellaria, in the darkest caves where
they form species of felt work, which, in
the course of a few years, overspreads the
walls of cellars. Other fungi inhabit our
houses, attack our food, clothes, utensils of
every kind, wall papers and books, linen, and
even our toilet sponges, and may even be
found on the most powerful chemical sub
stances. Other fungi attack the different
parts of animals, including man.-Arkansaw

Fun at a Luncheon.

A query corner correspondent asks for
some pretty devices" to enhance the attrac-
lions of luncheons, teas, etc., and also what
souvenirs may be given. At recent lunch
con, before each quest was placed a prettily
decorated bowl or cup containing beans The
one who guessed nearest to the number of
beans in her own cup received the first prize
To the one who made the next best guess was
given the second and to the one who made
the poorest guess was given the 'booby"
prize. 1t created much fun and merriment,
and the pretty cups We're taken home as SOU
venirs. At another luncheon a large bowl
with beans was placed in the center of the
table, and prizes given in accordance with
the guesses, prize being provided for each
person at the luncheon.-Mary E. Bryan in

Hot water taken freely half an hour before

Cement for Knife Handles.

A material for fastening knives or forks
into their handles is much needed. The best
cement which is used for this purpose is
made by melting one pound of colophony,
bought of any druggist, and eight ounces of
sulphur. 1t may be kept in bar or reduced
to powder. Take one part powder and mix
with iron filings, fine sand or brick dust, and
fill the cavity of the handle, heat the stem OF
the handle, then heat the stem Of the knife or
fork and insert When cold it will be found
to be firm in its place.-Good Housekeeping

woman has told ME that this is one rea-
son why men fall to selfish girls for wives,
to wit: that these look cooler, keep fresher
and better arrayed than the girls who help
their mothers and have less time to look to
themselves. 1t were well, think, both for
man and for woman who reach age to be
married, to search into any one who looks
well kept, and discover whether, like fruit,
he be not altered altogether by the pickle
that has preserved HIM, or his heart be not
