as natural for an Ohio River steamboat
officer to swear as it was for him to hit a
deck hand with board, or it is for dude
| to look silly.
During the war an Ohio minister was
| on his way south as an emissary of the
! CHRISTIAN Commission and he boarded an
ONO River boat at Portsmouth. At the
: frst landing below the mate turned

their eyes, their hearts, their lubberlv
feet, their lazines, their whole line of an
cestry from Adam to that hour. Finally
exhausted, he turned to the shocked
minister with the query:
Don't this beat h-l?"

On another occasion an Ohio stock
dealer had been buying stock in KEN

running in every direction but toward

pltch an old kentuckian stepped up and
said, admiringly:
wv ell done, sab! What boat ah We run
ming on?"
the old-time feature of river naviga-
tlon, with its distinct and dialectic pro
faulty, IS thing of the past. The boats
are still running, but the business has
taken on different character. In the
great whirlpool of uncertainties of this
lie the peculiar river character has en-
countered too many rivals in defeated
political candidates, men who travel on
street cars, and other victims of circum-
stances, and has reluctantly yielded the
palm of profanity.

\ New Japanese Game.

1t is played with fans, and the pretty
paper balls of different colors, which are
inflated through Il tiny hole which closes
with valve from the inside, and so pre-
vents the slightest escape OF air, writes
Mrs. Burton kingsland IN the LADIES'
Home Jopy1,dL The balls are tossed as
high as possible and the game consists in
preventing their falling by tanning them.
1t Is quite as active as tennis and the
effect is exceedingly picturesque to those
looking on. The one who succeeds in
keeping her ball the longest from touch
ing the ground beats the game, and in
this case won prize-a dainty fan OF
white bolting-cloth with pink sticks.
The mother Of the young hostess, who
was much skilled in the use of water
colors, had painted on the white back
ground in letters formed Of a succession
OF tiny roses, the word "Darina," the
name of the place. 1t is an Arabic word
signifying our happy home.' A long.
pink satin ribbon was tied at the end. 10

charming souvenir of delightful occa-

ADJUSTMENTS

Africa" the musical extravaganza of
Clay NJ. Greene, J. Cheever Goodwin and
randolph Cruger, was played and sung
last night at the Metropolitan Theater by
george Thatcher's Company, to one of
the largest audiences ever assembled in
mat building. 1t was literally pack of
the house from pit to dome" The ex-
traVaganza and spectacle took well. 1t is

some OF the lnterpolated songs were very
superior, and We're given with a spirit

Moore, Thos. Lewis, R. J. Jose, Miss de
Berger, Miss Hayden and Mr..
frlllman gave prominence to airs
OF the piece and to selected
songs that won thunders of applause and
many encores. George Thatcher, Otis
Harlan, John A. Coleman and Charles J,
Stlne furnished the comedy of the piece
IN the main, and left nothing to be de-
sired in that direction. "Atrica'' is full
OF .gon; it has vitality, freshness and
originality of design; it is musically very
pretty, and as an extravaganza it is
mlrthful to the full. 1t scintillates wit
al all points, and the humor of the story
Is rich and bountiful. 1t is an admirable
thlng to aid one in forgetting the days
trials, and in reveling in laughter and
Keen enjoyment of low comedy effects.
Nothing in the musical extravaganza
line has been seen here for years that
equals it in the brilliancy of perform
ance or the odd wit OF its story. and no
company for long time has visited this
city that is so rich In good comedians and
line balladists. "Africa'' will he re-

\ Boy and His Father.

Striking boy will never improve him.
writes Edward w. Box in the ladies'
Home Journal. Every blow given a bov
removes him just so far from his fathers
confidence, 1t Is bad sign when a son
fears his father. A parent should cain
the respect, the confidence and the love
OF a SOD. This he can do with firmness
OF discipline. A boy admires trmness
in his father just as much as we business
men admire that same quality in each
other. SO with boy. His admiration
OF tirmness in his father may not be
based upon Judgment, but by his verv
instinct he respects it. A boys respect
for his father is gained in proportion as
he knows that his yes means yes, and his
no means no. Firlnness Of character and
unwavering discipline will do more for j
boy than all the punishment father can
inttict upon him. The one develops re-
spect, the other develops passion and re-
sentiment.
