their pernicious fogyism, shake of'some
of their assumed decrepitude and adj

If in order allow us to suggest that
old and young unite during the coming
winter to get up and maintain a good

an endeavor would more than bring
back its reward in the pleasant occas-

writer i'll Rarper's Magazine.
He was the art critic, and he had Just
sent out an unusually brilliant account
of a recent exhibition of paintings to
the desk editor, who, not having made
much of study of art, was naturally
unfamiliar with the language of the
studio, but was preparing to wrestle
with his difficult task. He was new at
the work, and it was beset with pitfalls.
Heading the list was this enigmaticaI
sentence: "A Landscape in Sepia."

The Girl at Home.

These sentiments by writer in Kate
Fields Washington are worth thinking
about: Every one must know some
home where diligent cultivation OF the
amenities dates from the every day
when the newly graduated daughter
and her newly polished piano made
their appearance. They bring with
them little breeze of change and prog
ress which, on the whole. makes de-
cidedly for cultivation. The culture of
this ornamentally useful maiden is not
usually of the highest type, but it is al
most always an effort toward a home
lite marked by greater dignity, broader
hospitality and more careful attention
to those details which make an old and
finished society differ from a settlement
of pioneers. When l was In college we
had phrase which we used to describe
any young woman who had not con-
fesSed longings for career. We spoke
of her as simply aiming to make home
happy The phrase was ironical at
first, but think we used it until it lost
this faint, and meant to S that the do
nestle side of. life had its triumph, and
was worth deliberately choosing as q
destiny. 1t was an admission that the
girl who meant to go home and stay
there need not apologize for her coarse.
Alas, that things have come to such a
pass that this is now almost impera-
lively demanded"

Use of Dumb Bells.

The use of dumb bells Is now common
with society women who have time and
inclination forphysieal culture, says the
New York Press. In lieu of exercise
she has hitherto given herself up boldly
to the massage operation. This brought
all her muscles into play without a
particle of self effort, but it did not cul-
tivate for her the erect position produced
by the use of dumb bells. And now that
slenderness of waist, sloping hip and
well developed bust count as small mat
tiers compared to pretty dimpled back,
the dumb bells come into vogue-the
one thing whose use will straighten up
the figure and hollow the pretty dimples
i'll the shoulder. Actresses are all
gone" Oh this back display, and just
now big salaries are offered for the
woman who can wear her dress all cut
out at the spinal column. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
Mrs. Langtry is very fond of athletics.
Her hobby IS the dueling sword, but she
goes in for physical development with
all sorts of gynnastic and athletic APP
planes, and is not a poor hand with
the mountain staff and the rod and gun.
She is not an expert rider or driver, but
loves horses, and is not altogether a
stranger to the saddle and carriage seat.
She says that athletic and gvmnastic
exercise develops the figure and imparts
a grace and suppleness of movement.

Women Who Vote.

Wyoming's state constitution grants
women the unconditional right of stuff
rage and Office holding. The Isle of
Man and Iceland are said to accord her
the same right. But several states per-
NIT women to vote fC. school offers.
The question of wcmen's municipal
suffrage IS at present attracting atten-
ton in Denmark. A bill has been in
troduced in the Danish second chamber
that unmarried women twenty-five
years of age who pay taxes should have
municipal suffrage. The Copenhagen
Female Suffrage society held largely
attended meeting to discuss the bill,
when Fru Berg-Neilson maintained
that it did not go far enough. 1t ought
also to include married women. Several
well-known men spoke in support of
the bill as small step in the right di-
rection, and resolution praying the
government to comply with their wishes
was passed. Mrs. Fawcett. speaking at
Birmingham in support of the claim for
woman suffrage, stated that not only
were there $4,000 female landowners in
England and Wales, but 10000 women
were actually engaged in farming on
their own account.

good in the overture "Pique Dame" by

IN THE WINGS.

SHENANDOAH opens at the Metropol-
itan tonight. 1t comes direct from Chi
eago. and returns to the Windy City for
its fourth week within period of seven
weeks. Shenandoah" was one of the
big successes in st. Paul last season,
and it returns as the Tecord-breaking
play Of the period. A recent computa-
tion made by the author of "Shenan-
d0ah" showes that its receipts have ex-
ceeped 100000 covering period of 140
weeks. This is beyong peradventure
the largest sum ever earned by any play

"After Dark" is numbered among the
best. 1t is picturesque with love and
villainy; and, despite the fact that it is
not its first presentation in this city, the
Grand opera house management was
forced to display the sign, "Stand-
ing room only" long before the
signal for the curtain to rise. The St.
Paul public is familiar with after

the house was literally packed is a suf-
ficient encOnium to its merits. Old Tom

cast-under the management of William

scenery is alkthe property of the COM
pany, and especially prepared for the
effective presentation of the play.
''After Dark" is at the Grand for the
entire week, including the usual matt
nees.
Griffin & Wilson's ''Peck's Bad Boy
company opened with matinee and
night performance at Hilton's Play
House yesterday to good business. The
play follows the plot, or tricks, as SET
down in Gov. Peck's writings very
closely, and certainly they lose none of
their humor by dramatic treatment
The company interpreting the play is a
very capable one. The boy is in the
hands of George Cohan, bright, viva.
cious youth. with pleasing personality
and voice. The eccentric grocery man
is made very funny by the well known
Dutch comedian, Dick Morosco. John L.
Bannon,as the policeman; Jerry Conan
as Peck; Nellie Cohan, as Mrs. Peck
Blanch Hillman, as Lizzie, the hired
girl; Bessie Louise King, as Jimmy

performance has an agreeable conclu
sion in the strong speciality work of the
company. The company will give but

QUESTIONS OF THE DAY
Patriotic Advice by Hon. j. l..
Macdonald to the Crusaders.

Patriotic Advice by Hon. j. l..
Macdonald to the Crusaders.
A very large audience greeted Judge
Macdonald yesterday afternoon at Cru
saders' hall, he having been announced
tospeak there. He opened by speaking
of the great cafe which should be eXer-
cised by all in casting the alI-powerful
ballot. In order to do this properly it is
necessary to look closely into every sub
Ject that is likely to be brought into
each political campaign, We should
endeavor to make ourselves we'll enough
acquainted with these questions to be
able to know whether or not the dis
cussion, when IT comes. is full. In
this way only can we hope TO
draw our own conclusions. In
many instances politicians are allowed
to draw all the conclusions. He took up
the Farmers Alliance, and said that the
fact that so many men are so deeply in
tereSted in it should cause us to make a
careful examination of their claims.
The demand of that body that the gov
eminent assume control of all the rail-
roads III the country may be made an
issue before long. and we should he pre-
pared to vote lntelligently on the mat
ter should we ever be called upon to do
so. The next question discussed was
the proposal made by many of electing
United States senators and the presi-
dent by a direct vote of the people. He
gave a few of the more important rcd
sons which have been adduced in sup
port of the movement, with the
objections set up by those who
oppose the change. Following this
came the question of prohibition. We
may have to vote OH it before long.
Next came the trouble with England in
the Behrlng sea fisheries. The conten-
ton of the English was set forth, as
we'll as the reasons why this country
takes issue with her. He said that the
tariff question had been so much dis
cussed that he would pass it by; and he
| proceeded to the silver problem. A
| plain and full statement of the position
| OF the supporters of and opponents to
| the free coinage of silver was made,
with brief history of legislation on
| that subject in this country down to
| the present time.
In none of the subjects discussed was
| the least effort made to influence his
hearers to vote on one side or the other.
| The question was simply put in such
| form as to excite curiosity and encour-
| age investigation. Altogether it was
| considered one of the most useful adj
dresses ever delivered in the hall.
j. r. O'Reilly, president of the RAM
| sey county societies, delivered a short
! address, setting forth the advantages OF
the society. Very choice vocal and in
| strumental music was provided by
| Messrs. George Danes, F. j. Ellis and
E. n. Smith.
