Home Talent Scores Another Success.

The first production of "Under Ban -
the five-act comedy-drama written by
our townsman, w. G. Miller, was wit
messed by an audience that filled the
opera house from stage to door on Thurs
day evening. The audience was not
only large but it was one of the most
critical that was ever assembled in the
opera house, and the comments that
were made as the play progressed were
OF such nature as to insure the COM
pany's success on the road. The actors
did their work well and but little fault
could be found with any of the charac-
ters. Considering that this was the first
production of the drama on any stage it
is hard to understand how it could be
done any better.
The scenery used was painted entirely
by the author, and it equaled the best
that any travelling company has shown
on the stage here. The ship scene was
highly praised and the explosion that
followed when the fire reached the pow
der magazine was very realistic The
subsequent view of mid-ocean, with the
hero, heroine and two comedians float
ing upon the high waves, could not be
exceled. The speciaties of Messrs.
Faas and Woodring, and the singing of
Miss Marie Timney, were also loudly
appauded.

Fridays Celebration.

The st. Patrick's Day celebration here
on Friday had the largest number of
men in line of any parade held in Free

Encouragement from White Haven

Freeland people want the Jersey Cen
trail to extend its Upper Lehigh or Drift
ton branch into that town. This should
have been done years ago, as the rail
road would receive much traffic that now
goes to its competitors, and the extern
sion could be made at small expense.
Our neighbors should bring the matter
to the attention of Mr.. Harris, of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company

A QUEER PEOPLE.
Africana Who Denr . Worry Close Resem

AFFtcana Who Benr . Worry Close Resena.
bInnco To tho Ape.
Strange stories are told of the Dolnos,
who live among the moist, warm bam-
boo woods to the south of Kaffn and
Susa, in Africa.
Only four feet high, of dark olive
color, savage and naked, they have
neither houses nor temples, neither fire
nor human food. They live only on
ants, mice and serpents, diversified by
few roots and fruits. They let their
nails grow long, like talons, the better
to dig for ants, and the more easily to
tear in pieces their favorite snakes.
The Dokos used to be invaluable as
slaves, and they. were taken in large
numbers. The slavc hunters used to
hold up bright-colored clothes as they
came to the moist, warm bamboo
woods, where these human monkeys
still live, and the poor DoSos could not
resist the attractions offered by such
superior people. They crowded round
them and were taken in thousands. In
slavery they were docile, attached,
obedient, with few wants and excellent
health.
These queer people have only one
fauIt--a love Tor ants, mice and ser
pents, and habit of speaking to yer
with their heads on the ground and
their heols in the air. Yer is their idea
Of a superior power, to whom they talk
In this comical nature when they arc
dispirited or angry, or tired of ants and
snakes, and longingfor unknown food.
The Dolkos seem to come nearest of all
people yet discovered to that terrible
cousin to humanity, the ape.

THEY KNOW IT ALL.
CertC:n Women Who Think Thcmselvc.
Encyclopedias.


EncyciopedinR.
Have you among your acquaintance
one particular individual of the femi-
nine gender who knows it alp OF
course, you have, for her kind abounds
in wholesale quantities, and your circle
would have to be very restricted if you
did not happen to meet once in awhile
one of this disagreeable species, says
the Philadelphia Times.
The strange part about it is that the
woman who thinks she knows it all is
generally the one least informed on the
subject she chooses to debate upon.
Those who are really competent to give
advice and state opinions are usually
silent unless their sentiments are abso-
lutely dragged out of them, but the
woman who knows it all, according to
her own estimate, airs her views with a
lavishness that makes you long to slap
her, If such IN action were but per
missible.
She rifles you continually, she never
rubs you the right way. and if she says
thing is black you are possessed with
desire to swear that it is white, even
though you know that for once she is
right, and that black is black. She
poses as an authority on fashion, reli-
gion, social laws and customs, the rules
OF card playing, and the science of
housekeeping.
If you touch on theosophy she is right
with you, ready to correct any state
ment you may make. If you dabble in
the intricacies of politics she can give
you points on the tariff or the silver
bill, and so impresses you with your
own infinitesimal knowledge Of things
in general that before long you actual
ly hate the sight of her. She is not
popular, the woman who knows it all,
and unless che once in awhile will ad-
NIT IN error or allow a correction such
one is certain to narrow the circle of
her acquaintances to those very few un-
fortunates who cannot by any possibil-
ity get away from her.

Grading Country Schools.

ED ADVANCE -
Ihave before me copy of your
paper of the 26th inst, containing
an article from our worthy Co.
Supt. on grading country schools,
and 1 wish to add a word of COM
mendation to what he has written.
The problem of eleYating our coun-
try schools is a difficult one, but
L think he has struck the right
course. A close look into the work
done in the average public school
shows a state of affairs truly
startling. And unless a change
for the better is made in the near
future it is my opinion that the
public school must go. The teach
er is not ENTIRELY to blame, for
during a considerable experience
as teacher l have found many OBJ
stacles to success, which it was be-
yond my power to remove. One
great mistake, however, made by
a majority of teachers is they fail
to require THoRoUGHNEss from
their pupils. l am now in charge
Of a school of more than 30 mem
bers and not one of them under
stands perfectly even the first pa
ges Of books which they have
studied for years. And worst OF
all they have acquired a habit oil
Swimming over their lessons, study
ing only with a view Of reciting
and not that they may become in
formed. However, / think the
graduation Of the schools as sug-
gested by Prof. Hazard, would
largely, remedy this evil An.
other matter which seems to me tC
