was on the whole in one respect a
worthy performance. The tempera-

was cool and calculating. Mr.. Newton

recognize Beers in the arrangement of

oxpress.vely. of England's poet lau-
roate's best idylHc poem. 1t WAS such
a production that aWcd the usual
patrons OF RedmOnd's TO silent admira-
ton. Ii was scenic and spectacular.
The cliffs of Old England's sea shore

the idea Of the gloom and terror OF fatal
disaster. Mr.. Beers IS a sincere and
robust persOnatOr OF EnOch Arden.
While we think of the latncnted Adams
IN saying SO, Beers must be forgiven IN
certain portions, particularly as the
>npwreckcd saliOr, where he can be
more mellow and sympathetic. He has
given the production most generous
and wealthy surroundings. As
far as correctness Of scene, expense and
implied gogeOusness of the scenic
artists talent, 1t probably compares
iayOrably with the average protcnuOus
productions seen on the stage OF TINS

actually on par with Barretts Fran

The company is one OF the most nu-
merOus wehave seen IN this theater, and
works faily well. The specialties IN the
third act were received with much
hilaritv. As far as scenery goes with
out anv reference to TennysOn's text or
dramatic license. II must be SAID that
even to the intelligent observer IN this
respect. Nj. Beers dazzled the thought

brush.
But to come again to the text. there
was scarcely n ghost of the poets con-

Is a less and less demand for elabora-
ton and expense in funerals. This
turn u, began less than two years ago.
Inc desire and practice is generally
growing for private funerals. One Of
the causes of all this, 1 imagine, was
the abuse of privilege by people who
forced themselves upon the mourning
ana rode in the carriages and otherwise
forced themselves upon the funeral
circle. Why, there were people who
made it a business to go to all the flu
n n they possibly could, even upon
the most casual acquaintance, or no
acquaintance at all. It was a sort of
manla-among women, of course. Then
there were actually many thefts COM

stead OF many carriages for friends and

any more than just enough carriages

Well, there are flowers used in great

A New Cement.

A new cement, for securing iron into
stone, is described in some of the foreign
papers. The cement is made by melt
ing resin and stirring in brick dust,
which must be finely ground and sifted,
until sort of putty is formed, which,
however runs easily while hot. In us
ing, the iron is set into the hole in the
stone prepared to receive it, and the
melted putty poured in, until the
space is filled; then if desired bits of
brick, previously warmed, may be push
ed into the mass, and little of the
cement thereby saved. AS soon as the
whole is cool the iron will be firmly
held to the stone, and the cement is
quite durable and uninjured by the
weather, while, unlike lead and sui
phur, it has no injurious effect on the
iron,

nIiterate French.Cauodians.

According TO Winnipeg paper, 80
per cent. of the French half breed chill
dren in Manitoba can neither read nor
write, although there have been sepa-
rate schools since 1872. Apropos of
this statement it is interesting to learn
from the statistical reports of Massa-
chusetts that Of the French Canadians
OF voting age ID, 319 are illiterate while
but 1913 are literate, or able to read
and write. The reports rank French
Canadians as the last of nationalities in
point of scholarship. Eastern Catholic
schools seem to be no more successful
than those of the west.
