ed ordinarily, for the career of that trifle will always be pointed to as one of the American theatrical phenomena.
 "A Temperance Town" Is unlike any thing that Hoyt has ever written with the exception of "A Midnight Bell" It deals with the absurdities of the Vermont anti liquor laws, but outside of the character ization-al of which is perfect-it is not a sincere or fair picture. It would indeed be strange if all prohibit ion advocates were either sneaky or vindictive and all liquor drinkers noble creatures. But that is what A Temperance Town" appears to teach nevertheless.
 Mir. Hoyt tells n rather interesting story and in the comedy and farce sections of the play his work is of a high order of merit, but he is not happy in his efforts at pro tracted pathos, which is generally bathos; or in his attempts at heroism, which is fustian pure and simple. But, in spite of all this, he is such master of stage tech nique and knows so well how to interject fun into the dull artificially sentimental spots before they become really wearisome that, as I have said before, 1 believe that A Temperance Town" will develop into one of his greatest successes. \ few sacri- legious speeches should be eliminated on the score of prupriety, and the 9+-year-old man should not be permitted to sing the single song of the piece. It is in decidedly bad taste as done Rt present.
 "A Temperance Town" Is wisely called on the bills ''a play" It would be hard to put it under any separate classification, like melodrama, comedy or farce, for il partakes liberally of all three of these clements, of which the mclodrama Is least good. Mir. Hoyt has done much excellent farcical work, but he has shown in "A Temperance Town" and "A Midnight Belr' that he knows what rral comedy is and if he de sires to rise above the old things he should write high grade comedy. l believe he could do il we'll

The Man Col q MhipplHr.

Some few years ago in ths depths ot winter an old pair had ascended the wooden hill' for their nights rest. They had been there some time when the old clock struck ?. The next minute they were startled by their bedroom door opening, and in walked tlfeir son Will, with face as long as fiddle.
 Well, Will" exclaimed the fond father, what is the matter:"
 There's man in the house" said the hopeful.
 The father jumped out of bed, snatch cd up the poker, the wife following suit with the tongs, and they went down stairs, followed by Will. The house was searched, but no man was found.
 ''where's the man?' said the father.
 Will, with q twist of the few bristles on his upper lip, strengthened himself, and pointing to his breast said:
 Father, here he is"

 The opportunity was good one, for the tree looked sufficiently strong and massive to hold its own against the tur- bulentice. If the castaways could reach it, they stood fair chance of escaping death. Curtis resolve was instantly formed. He reused Jasper from his stupor of fear and briefly explained what he intended to do.
 Now" cried Curt.
 Jasper caught the dangling roots and pulled himself to a place of safety. An agile spring landed Curt beside him, and the next instant the boat was whirled of into tho gloom. As the lads crept high CT up the trunk, Jasper slipped and was precipitated into the water. In his strug- gles to keep from sinking he seized one of the roots and chung to it frantically. crying for help.
 At the risk of his life, Curt crawled down, and with some difficulty rescued his companion. They lost no time in choosing positions among the heavy limbs and then had barely settled them. selves when down the shock came. The towering masses of ice surged around the tree, burying the trunk from sight at uines ana rocklnS II to ana ITO like a cradle. The peril was frightful and i'm minent for half an hour. The boys were beyond the reach of the ice, however and happily the outriggers prevented the tree from rolling over.
 The night wore on, and when it broke the tree stranded on one of the piers of the Catawissa bridge. Willing hands rescued the castaways with ropes, and when they had recovered from their ex- posture they were sent home by rail whither the glad news had already pre- cedsl them.

Wholesale Plating

One of the most remarkable illustra- tions of progress in electrical appliances is electrolitic painting. Hitherto if cop per or other metal had to be deposited electrically a bath of solution was need ed. Now all this is changed, and a ships hull can be plated as easily as a spoon or teapot. Instead of a hath, insolu- ble salts, ground to a fine powder and mixed with water are used. This mix ture is painted on the metal to be plated by fine wire brush, to which one pole of a dynamo conductor is attached, the other pole being connected to a plate. Not only pure metal, but all sorts of al Joys can be used.-Exchange.

him when he went back to England
 When ''The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" was produced in London. MT. Scott at once de nounced it as n plagiarism of Der Schat- ten,n saying, "An exactly similar plot, character for character, type for type and incident for incident"
 Mir. Pinero's friends very promptly and properly inquired how he should have known anything of play which he had never seen His detractors were hysteric- ally ready with reply that Mir. Pinero had gone to Berlin to look after the pro duction of one of his plays there while Der Schatten" was the reigning sensation, and "of course he must have seen it" Be sides, it was darkly hinted that Mir. Ken dall might have shown the synopsis he had to his intimate friend, Mir. Pinero. And this is the case against England's foremost playwright, whose reputation has been built up by conscientious effort for many years, and whose concededly original work is better than anything which he is alleged to have plagiarized. It is unjust in the ex- treme to condemn unheard a man whose

honor Is so generally recognized. If Mir. Pinero is guilty of plagiarism. it would have been an easy matter to prove it.
 Der Sehatten" will be produced shortly in this country by the company at the Irv- ing Place German theater. and as "The Second Mrs Tanqueray" will be the piece de resistance of Mir. and Mrs. Kendall dur ing the coming tour of this country Amer jeans will have an opportunity to decide the matter intelligently and upon it's merits
 It would not appear that single play was worth all the talk that has been eN- pended upon this one, but the affair as sumes a different complexion when it is stated that the royalties paid the author of ''The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" amount to several hundred dollars q week. Mir Pinero may console himself with the reflection that very few persons in New York believe him to be plagiarist.
 How often n bit of good character work lifts a small part above the level of those intended for the starsl This is the case with Mrs. Jean Clara Walters. who plays the blacksmith's wife in Nat (. Goodwin's $ production of Tn Mizzoura." While she Is surrounded by an excellent company, and her star is one of the best actors in the world, her work in this particular role stands out like gem.
 It is of course not surprising 10 see Mrs. Walters doing good acting. She has been given to that sort of thing for many years in fact, ever since she made her debut in Newark in 1851. She has in her time danced n reel and sung an Irish song. play ed broad farce and acted Lady Macbeth on alternate nights and sometimes even during the same evening. Today she is in constant demand, for she is conscientious in whatever may be assigned to her, and she generally contrives to get more out of n part than it was thought to contain This is where long experience comes so her aid.

Canary birds are often covered with vermin. They may be relieved of them by placing clean white cloth over their cage at night. In the morning the cloth will be covered with minute red spots, so small that they can hardly be seen with the naked eye. These are the para sites, a source of great annoyance to the birds.-Philadelph Press.

It is only one-half as strong as wrought iron. It has a very low elastic limit. It is not rigid, but bends under trans verse strain readily. It is in its alloys that its utility commences to appear.
