BITS OF Wisdom.
The Remembrance of Which
Might Prevent Many
Family lars.
GLOVE ETIQUETTE.
Not So Stringent as in the Middle
Ages-An Empress's Queer
Fancy.

A young girl once heard a bit OF
wisdom from the lips of a very aged
woman-a woma who had rounded
tine full term of ninety years, and
with eyes still bright and clear looked
out upon the inrolling waters of eter-
nifty. The girl was impressed by the,
emphasis with which the vener-
able dame said to her. Bessie. lever
insist on having the last word" The
determination to have the final word
leads to more quarrels and more Bit
terness of feeling at home than almost
anything else in domestic life. The
fact Is, that one may so control her
tongue and her eyes that she may
allow her opponent the pleasure OF
this coveted concluding thrust and
yet placidly retain her W opinion,
and in the homely colloquial parlance
of the up-country, where n finds
s~trong-willed people liv ing together
in great peace with the most pro-
nounced diversity of characteristics,
do as she's a mind to-"
Another bit Of wisdom may be con-
densed into a pithy sentence. Avoid
explanations. In some families moth
ing is taken for granted. Every action,
every decision, every new departure,
every acceptance or rejection OF an
invitation, must be endiessly talked
and fused over, explained, and re-ex-
planned. In that way lie all sorts OF
stumbling blocks. As a rule, beyond
your parents or your husband, there
is nobody who las the right to de-
mand Of you explanations at each
step of your onward path. Don't
give them. Establish a reputation
for keeping your own counsel. 1t will
serve you we'll in many a crisis, and
be no end of a comfort.
Again. don't be forever setting
people right. There is a house
hold fend with a memory for
dates and details, who can never
sit still and hear papa say that
he went down town on Monday
at eight, without correcting the state
lnent with the remark that the hour
was half-past. Ii mamma happens to
allude to Cousin Jenny's visit as ha "
ing occurred last Thursday, this wasp
like impersonation of accuracy inter-
poses with the statement that it was
Friday, not Thursday, which brought
Cousin Jane. A dozen times a day
exasperating frictions are caused by
needless corrections of this sort, re-
ferring to matters where exactness is
not really imperative, the affairs in
question being unimportant, and no
violation of truth being for an instant
intended.
A manifest bit of wisdom is to re-
frain from criticism of food. The
sauce may not be quite piquant
enough, the salad may be wilted, but
in the name of decency say nothing
about it in either case.
Silence is golden in nearly every in
stance where a defect obtains in the
home economy.
To abstain from superf1uous apollo
gies is also the habit of discretion.
There should seldom be the occasion
for apology in the household. where
all would do well and wisely to be
constantly gentle and courteous

DORIS" WELL RECEIVED.
Miss Ellsler Wins the Plaudits of a
Large Audience Last Night.

Miss Ellsler Wins the Plaudits of a
Large Audience Last Night.
The presentation of Doris" at the
theater last night by Miss Efie Ellsler
and her well selected cast of characters
was one among the best performances
that have appeared this season. Miss
Ellsler was greeted by a large audience.
and they were with her throughout the
entire play.
In Doris" Mr.. Robert Drouet gave the
public one Of the most interesting and re-
fined plays on the American stage. There
is not an Objectionable feature in the en-
tire play, and throughout its lines human
nature is ably and aptly portrayed The
story is an interesting and attractive one
from beginning to end, and throughout
the play its success depends on Miss ELL
sler, who is so admirably adapted to the
title role which she assumes that sue
cess is certain. She is 50 natural, so ear
nest, so fascinating that the sympathies
or the audience are with
her from the beginning of the
first to the end of the last act. A part
such as Doris Vane must be assumed by
an intelligent and sympathetic woman.
OF these two qualities Miss Ellsler pos
sesses an unlimited amount, and her
dramatic passages are those of mistress
in the art.
Mr. Frank Western. Miss Ellslers hus-
band, as Dr. Brien O'Neil, was excellent
and received his quota of applause MIR.
c. w. Couldock, who is so well known,
made an ideal rector, and MIR Farren as
Stephen Brand, the convict, was villain
ously good.
Mr.. Drouet, who himself assumes the
role of Kenneth Ashley, lends additional
dignity to the part by his able rendition
Of the character.
Miss Ellsler and her company will
present Hazel Kirl1e" for the last time
at the matinee this afternoon. As a
souvenir Of the farewell performance a
set of beautiful prototypes representing
four scenes from the play will be pre-
scented TO each lady in attendance. They
measure 10xl4, and will be suitable for
framing.
Doris will be repeated by the com
pany tonight.

THOSE SPECIFIC TAXES.
Capt. McGowan Has List of All Who
Have Not Complied With the Law.

Have Not Complied With the Law.
There are certain specific taxes on pro-
fessions and other businesses which are
required under the state laws, which are
very strict with regard to their payment.
The notice of the tax collector with refer
ence to taxes for 1898 makes mention of
these.
Taxes have to be paid" said Capt Nc
Gowan yesterday, when asked about the
matter, "and it is better to pay them
promptly than to delay and run the risk
of extra expense, besides the loss of time
in waiting in the great rush at the end Of
the season.
Speaking of taxes, it might be well to
remind those interested said Capt. Nc
Gowan, ''of the state special taxes on
liquor dealers, billiard tables, tenpin
alleys, etc. Many persons appear to be
under the impression that they can com
mence to do business subject to special
tax during the last two or three months
of the year without paying any tax for
that short period. This is a grave mis-
take. Under the state law every person
engaging in any business taxed, is at once
liable for the whole amount of the special
tax thereon for that year. and is required,
under heavy penalties, to register with
the ordinary and pay the tax TO the tax
collector on or before commencing to do
the business taxed. The law also makes
it the duty of the tax collector to report
all delinquents to the solicitor general for
indictment; and the governor is duly en-
powered to collect by f. ia. from the tax
collector and his bondsmen the amount of
the special tax due by any delinquent
against whom the tax collector should fail
or refuse to inform
Another error not uncommon among
parties who begin business at this time
is the idea that they can buy the tax re-
ceipts Of another dealer which they sup
pose will protect the buyer for the unex-
pired portion of the year. Under the law,
however, none of the privileges acquired
by paying any of the special taxes can be
transferred to another person"
The tax collector has now in his posses
sion the names Of several persons who
have not complied with the law. 1t is
not his wish to be severe with any one,
but if they do not attend to the matter in
the next few days, it will be his unpleas-
ant duty to proceed against them as the
law directs
