The Stage Heroine.

Poor Evadne is always in trouble:
her father is bankrupt, her husband
wrongfullv accused of murder, and the
bad man of the play glowers and rolls
his r-r-rs at her on every occasion. She
bears all with meek patience, for she
Is very good, is the stage heroine. The
comic man expresses the belief that she
is a born angel. She reproves him for
this with fearful smile lit couldn't be
her smile if it wasn't fearful. "Oh
no she says sadly, of course): Il
have many. many faults" Her only
/ pleasure in life is to go out in e snow
storm with no bonnet on. She ALWAYS
brings her child out with her on these
occasions. She seems to think it will
freshen it up. One thing that must
irritate her very much Is the way in
which the snow seems to follow her
| about. 1t is quite fine night before
she comes on the scene; the moment
she appears i begins to snow. The
instant she goes it clears up again
and remains dry for the rest Of the
! evening. A curious thing about the
( stage snow-storm is that the moon is
! always shining brightly throughout the
! whole OFF And ii shines only on the
heroine and follows her about Just as
! the snow does. Although Evadne

asked to repeat a conversation that she

asked the witness whether ANYBODY

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Too Much Shade.

Houses in places otherwise unexcep-
tlonable are often so closely oyerhung
with trees as to be in state of humidity,
by preventing free circulation of air,
and by obstructing free admission of
the suns rays. Trees growing against
the walls of houses, and shrubs in con-
tinedp'aces near dwellings. are injurious
also, as favoring humidity; at a proper
distance, on the other hand, trees are
favorable to health. On this principle.
says DIR. James Clark, it may be under
stood how the inhabitants of one hous
suffer from rheumatism, headache, dys-
pepsla, nervous affections, and other
consequences of living in confined,
humid atm osphere, while their nearest
nelghbors, whose houses are otherw Use
situated, enjoy good health; and even
how one side of a large building, fully
exposed to the sun and to free circu-
lation of air. may be healthy, while the
other side, overlooking damp, shaded
courts or gardens, Is unhealthy. Humid,
confined situations, subject to great
alterations of temperature between day
and night, are the most dangerous of
all the physical qualities of the air,
and humidity in general is the most in
furious to human life. Dryness, with
free circulation of air, and full! ex-
posure to the sun, are the material things
to be attended to in choosing a resi-
dence.-Medicdl Classics.

The Prevention Of SunstrOke.

The following hints for the proven
ton or sunstroke are given by DR.. Ed
win {. Mann, of New York City, in an
article upon this subject in one of the
medical journals: To avoid sunstrohe
exercise in excessively hot weather
should be very moderate; the clothing
should be thin and loose, and an abun-
dance of cold water should be drunk.
Workmen and soldiers should under
stand that as soon az they cease to per-
spire while working or marching in the
hot sun, they are in danger of sunstroke,
and they should Immediately drink
freely and copiously, to afford matter
for cutaneous transplration; keep the
skin and clothing wet with water. I'M
pending sunstroke may often be warded
of by these simple measures. Besides
the cessation of persplration, the pupils
are apt to be contracted and there is
frequency of micturition. If there is
marked exhaustion with q weak pulse,
resulting from the cold water appllca-
ton, we should administer stimulants.
The free use of water, however, both
externally and internally, by those ex-
posed to the direct rays of the sun is
the best prophy Tactic against sunstroke,
ana laborers and soldiers and others
who adopt this measure, washing their
hands and faces as we'll as drinking
copiously of water every time they come
within reach of it, will generally eniov
perfect immunity from sunstroke.
Straw hats should be worn. ventilated
ut the top, and the crown of the hat
filled with green leaves or wet sponge.
IT is better to wear thin flannel shirts
in order not to check perspiration. We
may expose ourselves for long time IN
the hot sun and work or sleep IN q
heated room and enjoy perfect i'm
munity from sunstroke if We keep our
skin and clothing wet with water.

Queer Custom in Venetian Courts

The judicial error of which the man
named Borsas, now liberated, who was
the victim in France, has brought to the
front an old custom of the courts of
Venice. There, when a prisoner is
about to Toe condemned to death, Il tall
and ghOstlv-looking individual, dressed
in a long black gown, walks majestically
to the center of the courtroom, bows
solemnly to the judges, and in a cavern
ous voice prOnounces the following not
oyer-startling words: Remember the
baker :" Then he bows again and stalks
away. Just 500 years ago a baker was
executed in Venice for a crime of which
he was not guilty. When his innocence
was fully established the judges who
condemned him gave sum of money
to the city, the interest on which was
to be devoted to the setting mp and per
pctuaI burning of lamp known as the
clamp OF eNpiation,' III the palace of
the dogcs. 1t is still burning there.

The Photograph and the Blind Chill
dren.-On last Saturday evening, phono-
graphic exhibition was given the pupils Of
the Blind Department, in the girls
study room. Several of the pupils talked,
played and sang into it, and the reproduce
ton of their voices was both amusing and
wonderful. Probably the most enjoyable
reproductions were Jimmy McCambridge s
cornet solo ''Home, sweet home," and little
Charlie Lucas song, ''Flannigan." Every
one laughed when the machine sang boldly
out in correct imitation: "Your wife has
got the poker, and she's looking out for
YOU"

.ysnanAsa Sairea,

The 'Soiree JAPANESE given at the Ats
gusta Female Seminary ON Friday evening
last, by the school of Calisthenics and
Elocution, was both unique and delightful.
Miss L. May Haughwout was the direc-
tor, and the whole of the entertainment
reflects much credit upon her taste, train
ing and management. Everything was
entirely japanese. The stage was artisti-
cally decorated with Japanese fans, lamps,
umbrellas, lanterns and parasols of every
description, and the greatest variety of
colors. AL of the young ladies taking part
in the soiree were dressed as Japs. The
costuming was pretty and very becoming
and here, as in the decorations, was shown
great variety; no one costume being like
any other. The brilliant stage decorations
forming a background for the pretty smil-
ing faces of the girls in their picturesque
costumes, will not soon be forgotten by the
many who were present. The programme
was printed on Japanese napkins-and was
as follows:
1. Japanese Fantastics''- by class of
twelve girls-this displayed much grace
and excellent drilling.
2. Little Tee Hee-Recitation-
NJ. Bohon.
5. Riding Characterization B.
Faulkner.
4. Diamond cut Diamond-Miss n.
Estes.
5. Infantry Drill and Concert Recital
tion-by the little Japs-This was much
applauded, and one might imagine that a
veritable band Of little Japs was before
him. Each was armed with a little rubber
japanese doll, with which she drilled,
provoking great laughter from the ar-
dience.
6. Scene from King J ohn-Shakespeare-
Miss L. Starr.
7. Beautiful Ballad of Waske Wee
Miss L. Gilmer.
8. The Judgment Day-Miss B. Vance.
9. Wand Exercise class.
10. Jack the Fisherman-Miss L. Foster.
IL. Mice at Play-Miss J. Warner.
II. Three Little Maids from School
(Trio) -Mikado Misses Estes, Clay and
Devant. This was a splendid imitation of
the ''Three Little NJ aids y in the % Mikado''
and was greeted with hearty encores. The
''Mikado run" was excellent.
13. The Wreck of the Rivermout1l-Mi
F. Ogier.
The recitations were all unusually well
rendered and deserve special mention.
IA. japanese Kaleidoscope had
been reserved as the grande faole-and it
was a very brilliant one, the young ladies
every moment changing their positions, and
moving about the stage keeping perfect
time all the while with the music, fell into
graceful Kaleidoscope figures. The effect
with the calcium lights was beautiful.
The accompanies for the evening were
Misses Clay, Wheatley and Warner.
