Portland Theatre.
There will be but one performance at
the theatre this week, and that tomor-
row evening, when the drama entitled
Fair Play will be produced. The
seats are now on sale at the box Office,
and there has already been good de-
mand for them.
Sousa's Band.
Speaking of Sousa's Band, which will
make its first appearance in Portland in
the Stockbridge Popular course at the
matinee and eveningIconcerts Saturday
next, the Detroit Tribune says:
''Their ensemble playing is unexcelled.
Not one of the so instruments ever devil
ated the slightest degree either in time
or tone. The effect was especially no.
ticeable in the piano and pianissimo pas
sages in which the band is extremely
successful. The same may be said of
their crescendos and decrescendos, which
were executed with an exactness and
precision seldom heard, the oboes, clar-
inets and flutes were in lovely harmony.
At times the music SCUM ed as if COM
ing from one gigantic organ, and one
would almost forget that so men instead
of one, produced those sweet strains.
The different sentiments of the three
Peer Gynt themes were cleverly repre-
scented, and when the low and mournful
tunes changed into the loud and vehe-
ment music of the chase, the audience
was carried away"
Notes.
Now is the time to secure course seats
for the Elite and Matinee courses at
Stockbridge's.
Stockbridge's music store will be kept
open all day Thanksgiving for the sale

day set aside, in the late autumn, after the
fruits of the field have been gathered into our

His Infinite goodness and mercy. The present

African Pignlies,

During the very hungriest time spent
by Stanley's expedition in going through
the dense forest it happened that the dis
covery of little child of the dwarf
tr he proved truly providential.
Upon approaching one of the settle
ments of these people, the natives fear
ing that the Arabs were upon them, has.
tily retreated to the depths of the Jungle,
leaving in the village one of the young
children. He was an ungainly little
creature. and from Saleh's description
had an enormously big head, protuding
lower jaw, and an ungainly fat body.
The Zanzibaris sat about in detected
groups, complaining of their present hard
existence, and the sad contrast of to-day
with their joyous life in their island
home away in the Indian Ocean, The
little Teki-Teki (pigmy), although not
more than three years old, was busily
searching for something in the dry
leaves. The Zanibaris were attracted by
the child's activity. Presently the
sparkle Of his eyes and the increased
earnestness of his hunt showed that he
had been successful; and, indeed he re-
turned to the campfire carrying a lot of
pods like enormous beans. These no
scraped to fine powder, which he
damped, rolled in some big leaves, and
then toasted in the ashes When cooked
to his satisfaction he opened the dainty
package and the whole camp became
filled with the pleasant odor of this new
dish. The men of the expedition then
closed around and, much to the young
Teki-Tekis disgust, helped themselves to
tasting pinch.
The Zanabaris knew the tree quito
well; it was the "makneme. This dis
covery brought CLEAN of hope to the
hearts Of these hungry beings. The
capture of the tiny woodsman was
godsend, and Selah said that had this
unhappy little creature understood their
language he would have been over
whelmed with the heartfelt blessings
showered on him. A few days afterward
another tribe of these same small people
was met, and the child was handed over
to them to be returned to his parents,

Unless Chinese father happens to be
q schoolmaster and at home with nothing
to do, he never thinks of teaching his
daughter to read; it would be prepos-
ferrous. 1t is like wedding the field fo1
some other man, or putting gold chain
around the neck Of some one else's puppy,
which may at any moment be whistled
off, and then what becomes of the chain
O.,e of the underlying assumptions o!
thinese society is that it is the body of
the girl for which the parents are re-
sponsible, and not the mind. TO almost
any Chinese it would probably appear a
s''If evident proposition that to spend
time, strength, and, much more, money
in educating the daughter-in-law of some
one else is sheer waste.
But she is your daughter, you say to
him.
Not after she is married, he replies;
"she is theirs. Let them educate her
themselves if they want her educated.
Why should | teach her to read, writo
and reckon when it will never do me any
good?"
With this unitarian inquiry the educa.
ton of most Chinese girls has been ban
ished from human thought for the spaca
of some millenniums. The anxiety
which all her friends begin to feel about
Chinese girl as soon as she attains any
considerable size is exhibited in the in
quiries which are made about her when
ever she happens to be spoken of. These
inquiries do not concern her character or
her domestic accomplishments, much
l'as her intellectual capacity, of which
-" has theoretically, none to speak of;
but they may all be summed up in tho

There is silver mine near Sarhad, in
Afghan territory, which has curious
history. Three men, says an exchange,
were sent from that country to Cabul,
the residence of the Ameor, to be exc.
cuted for an offense against the State.
They told the Amer that If he would
let them Off they would tell him where
he could fad abundant supplies of silver
The Ameer deferred the execution and
sent them under guard to Irkansham,
where they went to work digging.
They and the two men who were put
to work with them dug for 20 days,
finding nothing. The Ameer's officer
told them at length that they could dig
for seven days more, and if they did not
find silver within that time the sentence
Of death would be carried out.
The next day they came to a very rich
vein of silver, and now about 100 men
are employed in the mine, which was
visited recently by an English traveller.

How to Sharpen a screwdriver.

The screwdriver is found not only in
the tool chest of every mechanic, but in
most houses, and in not a few Offices. Ii
ranks with the hammer, the saw, and axe
in general utility, and yet very few per-
sons know anything about how it should
be sharpened so as to do its work most
efficiently; that is, with the least expon-
diture of power and the least injury to
the heads Of screws.
In driving u screw into the wood, the
force used to press the screwdriver against
tie head fthe screw tends to aid the lat.
ter in penetrating the wood but whep
we attempt to extract a screw, every
pound of pressure that we apply tends
to render it more difficult to get the
screw out. 1t therefore becomes very
important that the screwdriver should
be SO formed that it may be kept in tho
nick of the screw by the exertion OF
the very least degree Of force, for if it has
any tendency to slip ont, we can keep it
in place only by applying pressure. in
which case we run great risk of injurin2
the nick and rendering it impossible to
draw the screw.
If we examine a screwdriver in the
condition in which it is ordinarily found,
We dil find that it presents a section in
.Icii the sides OF the wedge, in which
II sc.,tdrivers terminate. are curves
II the convex sides outward. Now,
the ,ff""t of thIs curving the sides of
til s wedge is to render it greatly more
obutse. Moreover, when we turn the
screw river, the tendency to slip out Of
the nick is just in proportion to the OBJ
tuseuess or biuntness of the wedge, and,
therefore, this form is the very worst
that can be chosen. In the hands of
most good workmen, therefore, we find
that the screwdriver ends in a wedge, OF
which the sides are perfectly straight.
This is very good form, but is not
equal to form in which the sides of the
wedge are curves, but with the concave
sides turned outward. In this way
we lessen the obtuseness Of the wedge
at the extreme point, and produce turn
screw which may be kept in the nick by
the least pressure endwise. To grind a
screwdriver into this form it is necessary
to use very small grindstone, and many
of the artificial stones found in the mar
Eet answer admirably.

SIOUX FALL, S. D., is considering a
novel proposition-at least in this
country, though it has been tried with
great success in Sweden. 1t is to take
charge of the whole saloon business,
and establish in the city number of
liquor dispensaries, as post offices are
established by the United States.
This system has many advantages.
In Sweden it is governed by strictest
rules, which greatly diminish the
evils of intemperance. No treating is
allowed, no sales of liquor on credit,
no sales to drunken men or to those
in the habit of getting intoxicated

drink, and the profits on the sale of
liquors are appropriated to the support
of poor houses, schools and roads.

DISSATISFIED DEMOCRATS.

Letters accumulate on our hands
from Democrats who are dissatisfied
with the ticket made at Chicago.
They come, as a rule, carrying the
writer's signature, and containing in.
ternal evidence of deep and sincere
concern for the future of the Democ-
racy. They are not all from New
York Democrats.
For example: Mr.. Francis Lee, of
this town, writes: ut requires no
prophet to foretell the defeat of Grover
Cleveland at the next election. Not
even the grim spectre of the Force bill
can save him." Mr.. S. S. Decker, OF
Havana, New York, writes: ~ do not
like Cleveland stock, and there are
thousands of the same opinion in the
state. The Democrats are going to
show the Mugwumps in November
that it takes Democratic votes to elect.
Those that were for Hill are Hill men

our purpose as well as a hundred.
