Diyey'S varied character impersona-
tons in the last act are superb in their
way, but really. the most humorous
feature of the whole performance is Miss
Summerville's grotesque gestures of the
head in her imperSonation of the village
beauty.
The audience was one of the largest
of the season, the capacity of the opera
house being fully taxed, and the
audience gave unbounded expression
to its appreciation of this renowned
burlesque performance.
The same bill every night this week.
On Friday evening the performance
will not begin until o'clock on account
of the storming of the ice palace. 1t is
also announced that there will he an

DIXEY'S "ADONIS."

"A Large Audience GreetS the First

The only unfavorable criticism that
could be made of Rice IL Dixey's
"AdOnis'' is that it is surfeit of bur-
lesque. One gets tired laughing when
the disabilities are subjected to strain
of two hours at a stretch. The play is
burlesque, that is all, and it is all
burlesque. With scarcely thread of a
plot to hang the performance on. Mr..
DiXey gives production which has
perhaps enjoyed more popularity than
anything that has ever been produced
III this country. While the play is
almost utterly devoid of dramatic force,
the special features are SO cleverly in
terwoyen as TO betray a master hand in
the construction. With Mr.. Rice's skill
in arranging scenic effects and Mr..
DiXey's talent in comedy, it is not sur
prise after all that '.Adonis" has had
such "a remarkable run. Everything
that is done is done in superior
style, even the circus feature

Raising Drowned Bodies.

The bodies of drowned persons are some
times brought to the surface of the water by
the firing of ordnance near the spot. This
effect is produced when the body has been in
the water for some time and has become
through chemical processes nearly equal in
gravity to the water itself, SO that a very
slight disturbance of the water will cause the
body to move. When gun is fired near the
surface of the water partial vacuum is
created by the explosion near the mouth OF
the cannon, the atmospheric pressure on the
surface is decreased and the water tends to
rise to fill the vacuum, causing little waves
to rise Also bubbles are liberated This
upward motion being felt from beneath, the
body will rise with even so slight force at
the top The percentage of successful at
tempts to raise drowned bodies by this me-
thod is very small.

LlNEAL SYSTEM OF TEACHING GEOGRAPHY.
In the cut is shown an outline engraving
Of the United States. The general outline
only follows the more prominent irregular
tiles of the coast or boundary. The dots are
placed in such position that lines drawn
from the points OF dots will show the general
contour of the internal subdivisions into
states. By the aid of these dots the pupil will
soon learn to construct all the subdivisions
Of the country. First, in general outline by
drawing approximate straight lines through
the dots, and afterward the more minute
Irregularities of contour may be indicated by
dotted lines. For instance, the line drawn
from E to would indicate the southern
border of Washington territory Tor northern
boundary of Oregon in an approximate
manner, while the dotted line, E, would show
the more minute contour. The line, N,
would indicate the general contour of the
coast of Texas, while the dotted line, NJ,
would show the features more in detail
These outline charts, explains Scientific
American, may be permanently drawn upon
a slate or blackboard, or they may be drawn
on silica slate, where the general outlines and
dots may be permanent. Connecting out
lines or contours may be drawn with pencil
or other marking implement while the lesson
is in progress, and afterward erased SO as to
leave only the permanent outlines and dots

The Christian Era.

The Christian Era is the term given to the
great era from which all Christians compute
their time. 1t was supposed to correspond
with the date of the birth of Christ: but, ac-
cording to some of the highest authorities,
Christ was born four years before the COM
mencement of our era. The practice of reck-
oning time from the birth of Christ was in
troduced in the Christian church about the
Sixth century. The practice became gen.
eral about the middle of the Fifteenth cen
fury.
Chronologers have divided the time between
creation and the birth of Christ into ages
First age creation to deluge, 4OO4-2349 B. c. {;
second age, to the coming of Abraham into
Canaan, 2s34S- 1922; third age, to the exodus
from Egypt, l92l-l491; fourth age, to the
founding of Solomon's temple, l49O-l0l
fifth age, to the capture of Jerusalem, 1914
$685. sixth age, to the birth of Christ, 1854
B. c. We are now in the seventh age, ac-
cordikg to this chronology.

case, as such test papers have been exposed

for their absolute carrying powers, but for
their penetrative powers. Thus the targets
at which they are aimed are not placed to

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
High Authority Reveals Important 81

High Authority Reveals Important Sc
crets of Success In Society.
To 'get on in society" involves much that
is not included in any code of etiquette
Mrs. Sherwood, one of our leading social
authorities, gives, however, some pertinent
advice to the women who wish to succeed:
She should never show fractions or per-
emptory irritability in small things; she
should be patient if a friend keeps her wait
ing; she should beor, as long as she can, heat
or draught rather than make others I'M
comfortable she should not be fussy about
her supposed rights; she should yield rather
than nsisv upon the best seats. All society
is founded on these concessions. We are not
always wrong when we quarrel brt we
should never quarrel in public; nor should
we, if we meet our deadliest foe in friend S
house, refuse to recognize him. That is neu-
trail territory, and we are bound to respect
our hostess and her feelings.
A woman who would fill high place in
society must be unselfish, considerable, full of
memory, complaisant, amiable and honor
able; sh' must do thousand gracious things
for which she will never be thanked; she
must stand at her post when dying of IA
tigue; she must talk to bores The post OF
honor is the post Of danger. She must submit
to criticism; she must be attacked, sus-
pocted, called selfish, proud and conceited,
false pei haps, although her constancy may
be perfect; but she must never show that she
feels these attacks. She must never adver-
tise her own failures, never complain that
she was not invited, that she had been badly
treated, that she had made failure, that she
had regretted her own lack of success. The
world does not cart for our failures; it re-
ceives us generally at our own rating, and
unless person is dismally sulky, or absurdly
pretentioas, or aboninably vulgar, she will
get on well enough.

Diamond of the First Water.

by their weight clearness and color; hence
la diamond of the first water, whatever its

There is some appropriateness in the phrase,
because of the resemblance of the purest of
diamonds to the sparkling of water as in a
