Opera House Tonight.

Dawson tonight, at Barts opera house.
oy one OF the strongest companies be-
fore the public in that charming and
most interesting comedy-drama, 1.-THE
Burglar"
The Harrisburg Call has the following
very complimentary notice of the play
and the troupe:
The audience at the opera house last
evening were treated to a most agreea-
BILE surprise and are fully convinced that
play cannot always be judged by its
title. ''The Burglar" was the bill, and
1t proved the most interesting comedy
drama that has been presented here this
season. 1t is not sensational piece,
but play that appeals to the highec
class of theater goers,of which the audi
ence consisted last night. The play was
produced under the direction of A. O.
Scammon, one of the most popular
managers in the business. He always
brings superb attractions to this city.
His company is strong in every part and
each member an artist There were
number of curtain calls and the audience
was more than pleased"

COURTESY TO PUPILS.
A Thought for Those Who Arc Teaching
the Young.

A Thought for Those who Arc Teaching
the Young.
If courtesy to parents is duty, it is
not less duty to pupils. Everybody
knows how Luther's schoolmaster, the
famous Trebonius, used to take off his
hat when he entered his schoolroom.
81 uncover my head" he would say,
"to honor the consuls, chancellors,
doctors, masters who shall proceed
from this school," DIR. Arnold won his
way to the hearts of Rugby boys by his
simple respect which he showed in &C.
cepting their word as true.
A masters success has sometimes
been imperiled by so slight q matter as
the mistake of not returning boys sa-
lutes in the street. For courtesy begets
courtesy; it is passport to popularity.
The way in which things are done is
often more important than the things
themselves. One special point of per-
sonal courtesy you will let me mention;
it is punctuality. To keep a class wait
ing is to be rude, and to seem to be un-
just. For sense of speculation arises
when master is apt to be late; if he is
generally four minutes late the boys
will count the chance of his being one
minute later, and the result will be dis
appointment, disaster and then dislike.

Samoan Marriages.

The marriage customs of these peo-
pie are very peculiar. The actual cere-
mony is performed in church, but the
courtship is out of the common. When
a young man hears of a young lady
who is likely to come into a tract of
land or q large and valuable stock of
mats he takes twenty or thirty of his
friends and goes to her village for a
visit. This, of course. sets all the girls
hearts in a futter, for they are care
fully guarded by old women. After
spending q few days in the village the
young man leaves, but orders two of
his friends to remain behind. This thev
do, and hang around the girl and oon-
stantly sing his praises. When they
think she has been won they send for
the young man, who arrives with lot
of friends, bringing with them from
fifty to one hundred pigs. These arc
killed and roasted, and everybody in
the village has feast. The young man
then proposes and is accepted, and the
girl and her family go to his home and
the ceremony takes Chicago

Tho Greeks Originated Medical Museums

The Greeks Originated Medical Museums.
There have been discovered among

On the island of Cos, in the Greek archi-
pelago, now a possession of Turkey,
there was afamous temple of Esculapius
in charge of some skilled surgeons who
exacted that every patient receiving
treatment there should leave behind a

EVERYDAY ATHENS.

Impressions Received ON Entering by the
Pireus Road.
The road from the Pirmus, which in
the height of summer is almost ankle
deep in white dust, passes on it's way to
the capital through the Eleusian
groves, where a glimpse is caught of the
course of the Ilissus, narrow stream,
generally dry or semi-dry, unless in the
rainy season. The traffic along this
road is considerable: officers driving
out on business to and from the port in
their uniforms, much like those of the
French, strings of mules and mule carts
carrying produce from the various
markets, and wayfarers in nondescript
dresses which it would require a thor
ough knowledge of the Greek isles and
provinces for miles round to assign to
their proper localities, all come and go
deliberately; no signs of the high pres
sure of modern life hereabout, unless
exception is taken to the presence of
the railway near at hand, which makes
its way through groves of olives, vine
yards, and aloe hedges to the station
of Phaleron, the great bathing resort
of Athens in the summer time.
This absence of rush is most strik-
ingE manifest in even the principal
streets of Athens. In this respect it
resembles country town; and in much
the same way as wayfarer on enter
ing a county Town :receives vivid i'm
pressions of all sorts of trivialities, so
would he, arriving by the Piraeus road,
find himself engaged in some absurd
little speculation of which he is
ashamed when he realizes where he is
and what castle in the air it is that is
SO intensely outlined against the sky.
On entering q London suburb the spirit
of London meets you, takes possession
of you, and hurries you on in thought
to meet the millions in its bosom. On
entering the outsk irts of Athens it is
the Spirit Of the Past which you en-.
counter and which carries you back SC
far that the wearied mind turns and
reposes in the present, in keeping with
the things animate and inanimate in

PREVENTION OF HvoRopHoe,A.

The Proper Caro- and 1lanagemens OF the
Dog the Only Necessary Precaution.
With many persons dogs aud hydro
phobia are closely associated mentally,
and I recently read IN article in which
the author spoke of the dog as the
breeder of hydrophobia. The socie-
ties will do good by publishing actual
statistics and other details bearing on
the nature of this dreaded disease.
have also read arguments for the COM
plete extirpation of dogs, based on the
fact that some sheep were worried.
The plain preventive for rabies is the
proper care and management of dogs;
and for sheep-worrying, the confine-
ment of dogs at night, which would be,
indeed, a proper proceeding if no sheep
existed.
A roaming dog is no more desirable
than a human tramp; but no one has
advocatedsthe destruction Of the human
race to get rid of tramps. In attempt
ing to spread sound views in regard to
diseases that are common to man and
our domestic animals, such as rabies,
indirectly much information will be
given to the public about the care of
dogs, with view to avoiding condi-
tions that stimulate this terrible mall
ady.
The "mad dog" Of the streets is, we
know, rarely rabid, and usually only
needs little judicious and kindly as
sistance to restore him to health. 1t is
just about as reasonable to pounce on
and kill a human being that falls in an
epileptic fit as the majority of the dogs
that are attacked and killed by an ex-
cited crowd.-Popular Science Monthly.
