The Outlook for American Plays.

In a letter which lies before me, I
find this sentence from the pen of Mr..
A. NJ. Palmer, manager of the Madison
Square theatre, New York: II am sor-
ry to say that the numerous plays sub
mitted to me every year are all, or
nearly all, totally defective in con.
%struction." Critics of a pessimistic
turn Of mind may find here food for
lugubrious rumination upon the de-
cadence of the American drama, the
decay Of art, the corruption Of taste,
and the general decline and fall of the
creative Imagination; and | cannot
find it in my heart to deny them this
sweet sorrow. Yet l may be permitted
to remark that, TO me personally, the
sentence above quoted seems the most
hopeful sign of a renaissance in our
drama that has so far appeared OH a
very dark and lowering horizon. Ii
Mr.. Palmer had said, these plays
show no originality" or 1.-THE charac-
terization is feeble" or 1.-THE plots are
all stolen from the French" then there
might have appeared just reason for
lamentation and despair; but a knowl.
edge of construction, as everybody
knows who has had any practical ex.
perience in writing plays, is some
thing that almost any one can become
proficient in by a reasonable outlay of
time and studious application. Itsus-
tains to the art of play writing much
the same relation that grammar sus-
tains to oratory. - Professor Albert

A correspondent who describes him
self as "a man of mature years, but
limited social experience" wants TO
know:
IF there is any trustworthy record
as TO the origin and practice of kiss
ing. | have been told" he says,
shat every tribe of people that have
been found anywhere in the world are
addicted b. the practice. should like
to know if that is so, and also who
were the first people TO begin kissing"
SO far as our Investigations show,
the first kiss on record is the oscula-
tory salute between Isaac and his son
Jacob, mentioned in the 9th chapter
of Genesis; but it is not unreasonable
to suppose that Isaac had kissed the
mother many times before ne ex-
chaned kisses with the son.
The ancient Hebrews seem to have
reduced kissing 10 IN exact science,
and To have given it a nomenclature.
We find from the Ola Testament that
they had the kiss Of homage, OF sub
lection, of reconciliation, OF approba-
ton. Of welcome, of love and JOY, Of
sorrow, of peace, of idolatrous wor-
ship. of valcdiction, of gratitude and
many others. We also read in the
Scripture Of hypocritical kisses, like
that bestowed by Joab on Amasa
when about to slay him; and worst
and foulest of all, of the t%raitorous si-
lutte by which Judas betrayed the Sa-
viour.
The primitive Christians inter
changed kisses before receiving the
communion. as a token of religious
fellowship An attempt was made
some years ago at a certain place oil
worship in New York to revive the
practice, but owing to modern de
g~eneracy," or some other cause, the
kissing church was far from being
q moral and religious success. Scan.
dal's envenomed tongue soon began t.
wag against the brothers and sisters,
and the experiment was given up.
Il is not true that every tribe OF peo
pie indulge in kissing. Some OF the
lower tribes do not seem 30 know any
thing about hat token Of affection
which is SO dear to the more enlight
ened races. But among people who
have risen n little above the savage
state, il seems that kissing, as Dog

A GLASS TELEPHONE.
A Novel Invention That is I'm Successful
Operation.

Mr.. Jerome Prince, of Milford, has
lately been granted a patent on a new
telephone of his own invention. His
invention consists in the transmission
of sound by the vibration of glass, and
his attention was directed to the sub
ject i'll peculiar way. While waiting
in Boston one day he CHANGED to
wander into one of the dime museums,
and as he entered he observed Young
girl playing tune on tumblers, each
tumbler being partially filled with
water. .sMr. Prince instantly thought
II the vihEation of glass can be made
to give forth such varied and musical
sounds by the manipuiations before
him, why cannot this vibration of glass
be brought to some practical utility,
and with these thoughts and expecta-
tons he set to work.
The new telephone consists of a
diaphragm or transmitter of simple
glass resting on number of glass
rods, and these communicating with
an ordinary wire. The line In opera
ton at Milford extends from grocery
on Main street to the residence of one
of the proprietors, a distance, perhaps,
of some thirty rods, passing some five
or six sharp angles before reaching its
destination. Over this wire the tick
ing of watch can be distinctly heard,
and a whispered conversation carried
on with no difficulty whatever. The
distance that sound can be transmitted
with the new telephone varies accord
ing to the thickness of the glass trans
mitter.
The one in consideration allows a
whispered conversation three miles,
and by using thicker glass a much
longer distance. 1t makes no differ
ence how many angles the wire takes
i'll reaching its destination, the sound
is transmitted just as readily. Another
popularity of The invention is the in
creased intensity of the sound that is
transmitted. Each vibration seems to
gather strength and force from the vi
brations behind it, and when the
sound reaches the ear of the auditor
it is wonderfully Clear All distinct.
The transmission of these sounds with
out the aid of electricity would seem
to be dependent upon principles not
hitherto well understood.-Boston

Fashion Notes.

Gowns are 70 be much trimmed with
astrachan this winter, whether i'll its
natural tint of gray or in black.
Bands of the fur are introduced upon
the skirts, and others of less width
trim the bodices. The latter are
scarcely more than hem or border,
though the collar is always wide.
English turbans of cloth or felt with
close-rolled brims of velvet and low
crowns exactly like those worn twenty
years ago when the turban first came
into use, are the favorite among morn
ing hats with young ladies.
A novelty this winter is the Russian
circular of seal-skin, with fitted back
and straight circular front with arm
holes; the trimming is Persian lamb
skin tapering to the waist IN front and
back, then widening again to the foot.
The little bow is the newest of all
the new oonceits in millinery, looks
precisely like butterfly on the wing.
Tied usually in velvet or cloth, 1t has
centre knot, with each little wing cut
butterfly pattern, the edges left raw.
For house dresses there are many
STYLES of sleeves, one of the favoritc
fancies being loose, straight piece of
dress goods, held by ribbons instead of
being stitched up on the front seam,
with which an under sleeve of lace or
muslin is worn.
Rain-cloaks are shown in silk in
tasteful patterns and in light English
cloths III neutral colors. The new Eng
fish cloth waterproofs are really pretty:
and have none of the old-time hideous-
ness of the waterproof. They range
from 50 to $14 i'll price.
Misses wear plain Directoire GOATS in
princess style, extending to the foot of
theil dresses, and finished with huge
pocket flaps at the sides, huge buttons
of pearl, little square Directolre
revers below the straight collar in
front, and straight cuff.
The draped corsage for dresses made
with round waists i'll Empire style is
more used than ever, and in some cases
the full sleeves are made up in such a
way that the whole hodies appears to
be mass of classic draping OF which
the sleeve is only part.
The prevailing shape for jackets this
season is close fitting at the back and
plain in the front, but fitted as snugly
as they can be without darts. This
Jacket is shown in double and single
breasted shape and is made of rough
and smooth beaver, or ohinchilla
beaver aud other cloths.
Many skirts are mounted quite plain,
save just at the back, where some
extra fullness is gathered into the belt.
When this is the case the side seams
are gored so as to fit them easily over
the hips, and give some additional
width to the lower portion of the
petticoat.
Short seal-skin wraps are little
changed in shape from those of last
year, retaining their short fitted back
with longer straight fronts, and either
square, bell-shaped, or flowing sleeves
set high on the shoulders, and turning
over collar, or trimming of another
fur set round the neck and down the
front i'll boa shape.

Long live the "King's Daughters. y
There is clause in the rules that gov
ern this organization, which provides
that no member shall indulge i'll gossip
or shrug the shoulders at the mention
of another woman's name. This rule,
enforced and duly observed, should
make of every young woman bearing
the purple badge of the Kings
Daughters, an earthly angel with a
flaming sword unsheathed for doing
battle against that dreadful old crea-
ture, "Mrs. Grundy." Not to speak
gossip will mark the fair Kings
Daughter as one worthy of the title,
for womankind is prone to tear her
sex to tatters with the weapons of
speech and the all-expressive shrug.
The shrug of clever and cold-hearted
woman is by no means humble in
strument in the hands of Satan.
A barely perceptible movement of a
pair of shapely shoulders will often
settle the social fate of an innocent
woman. The fair shrugger has much
to answer for. She has, of late, I'M
ported from Paris new and piquant
shrug that is simply venomous, and it
is high time that the Kings Daughters
influence was brought to bear, not only
upon the unruly members of American
women who love gossip for gossip's
sake, but upon the shrug that injects
italics and exclamation points into the
speech of the fair gossiper, We all
even the most immaculate of us-fear
Mrs. Grundy-though we may proclaim
the reverse upon the housetops-and
we shall all welcome the Kings
Daughters if for no other reason than
their promises to eschew gossip and the
shrug, for in these are found weapons
just fitted to the hand of Grundy.

The Oldest Twins.

The Philadelphia Record recently
published an account of two men, John
and Samuel Nice, born May II. 1905,
claiming them to be the oldest living
twins in the United States. 1t is evil
dent that the Record is not posted, as
am acquainted with pair of twins
born October 90, 1899, which makes
them older by nearly six years. Their
names are Lucy Wixom, now a resi-
dent of Wixom, this state, and Betsy
Wood, who resides near Grand Ledge.
Their maiden name was Clark. They
were born in New Hampshire and
married brothers named Wood, whom
they survive. After the death of her
first husband, Lucy married a man
named Wixom. The sisters, though
past 90 years of age, are both strong
and healthy, their faculties unim-
paired, and they read without the use
of glasses. They are, doubtless, the
oldest twins in the United States, and
possibly the oldest in the world.

Who ArlO Bates Looked Like.

Arlo Bates, Bowdoin's well-known
graduate, the poet and cultured book
reviewer of Boston, is tall, very slight,
wears his hair a trife longer than the
ordinary mortal, and there is a pensive
drOop to his fair moustache. These
things make him noticeable figure in
any assemblage. One day he had been
calling at Beacon street house, where
there was little girl, the daughter of
the house. He has a wonderful gift
for entertaining children. So he held
the pretty mite spellbound with some
original enchanting fairy story.
The moment her entertainer had de-
parted, the child, intensely excited,
ran up to the nursery, seized volume,
hurried down again to the drawing
room, and turning the leaves like
lightning, said to her mamma: "I'n
show you who it is Mr.. Bates looks so
much like; wait a minute-wait q
minute"
AT last, with hop and a skip, the
child carried the volume over to her
mamma and laid it, open, upon her
knees. 1t was "AIice in Wonder
land" and she had turned to the pic
ture of the Walrus. = Lewiston

To the three Graces-Faith, Hope,
and Charity, let fourth be added
Tact. For, woman may be Faith in
carnate, be the embodiment of Hope,
and the essence of Charity, yet if she
has not Tact, she will be as sounding
brass and a tinl,ling cymbal. 1t is I'M
happily, a gift that cannot be acquired
any more than the color of a wOman's
eyes or hair is acquired. The woman
of tact is like the poet, born not made.
With this gift all things are possible.
Gold may bring woman to the pima
Gle of social prestige, but only tact
can keep her there. With this gift
she may still the angriest waves on the
ocean of life, even as oil quiets the
oceans uproar. She it is that is looked
up to in all good deeds; in church and
charitable work, as well as amid So
ciety's Whirl.
She knows just what to do and say,
and she says and does the right thing
at the right time. a woman of tact
wears crown, and other women bow
before her in deepest admiration.
Were it not so rare gift it would not
be so priced, but it is safe to assume
that the woman who possesses this
quality is to be envied by the woman
who has millions but is tactless. And
if any woman of tact would guarantee
that she could successfully bestow this
gift on the daughters of other women,
she might have all the pupils she de-
sired at her own terms. But some
things cannot be learned at any school
or seminary, and the fourth Grace Is
one of these things.
