Athielc tiuo's troupe.
A house without a vacant seat and a per-

the characteristics Ot the entertainment held
at the Carnegie Music Hall last night, under
New York A. c. auspices. The performance
was tho fourth in the annual series given by
the amateur Ministries OF the famous athletic
organization and 1t eclipsed anything hitherto
attempted by them. The primary object in
view was the raising OF a fund to purchase a
fast launch for coaching purposes during the
rowing season. The not result would almost
justify an investment in n small fleet.
The boxes were sold by auction at the club

Pastor PISSED Its Examination ne Levttan

BosroS, Dec. 13- Leonard J. Pastor who came
here from Brooklyn about q year ago. has
played trick on the Massachusetts Board Of
Registration and Pharmacy that it will not
soon forget Pastor who IL an experienced
druggist. being out Of work and short Of
money last summer conceived n scheme for
making $50 which completely outwittcd the
State Board. Meeting in boarding house a
young man from New York named Eugene
Levitan. who wished to become n druggist.
Pastor agreed to impersonate him. go before
the Board. and get a certificate OF examina-
ton in Lovitans name. This he did. telling
the President that he was but 81 years old. so
apt was he in answering questions that after
the examination was over, President whitney
OF the Board said:
Young man you have done exceptionally
well. For one so young. you have made great
progress in pharmacy / wish you success
sir
gracefully and stuck to II that he was only 81.
In September an application came from
Leonard J. Pastor: and he arpeared in Lerson
for his examination looking very different
from what he did in June. His thick nous
tnche was shaved of. and he mad changed his

He passed with high honors the September
examination and received another certificate
from the Board OF Registration. Anonymous
complaints then began to come to the effect
that crook edness had been practised. hut hc-
cause they were anonymous no notice WAS
taken 81 them. Finally q registered druggist
who had hired Levltan reported that his new
clerk knew not hing whateycr about com
pounding prescriptions. Before this complaint
had gone in. Lev.t tan had branched out for
himself. no and another young man. who also
knew nothing about the business. having

A Meeting of Sewing Glasses.

One Of the practical results of the
great good done by the sewing classes
held among society gomen during the
past season is a determined effort about
to be made to place the sewing schools of
New York on more practical and sci
entifc basis.
Notwithstanding the large number of
these schools and the great change
wrought during the last few years in all
industrial education, the sewing schools
still remain in large measure isolated,
and those engaged in this work are with
out the advantages of comparing expert
ences with others working along the
same lines and receiving suggestions
from them.
In view Cff this fact it has been pro-
posed that a conference of sewing school
workers be held at the Teachers college.

SHE SHOULD SLEEP.

The average woman doesn't sleep
enough; and that is why she finds
herself growing fretful and irritable,
prey to nervous disorders. The in
crease of these troubles of the nerves
is positively alarming; and it is real
trouble, and not an imaginary one, as
some persons like to believe. The al
deviation is, in many cases, in the suf-
ferer's own hands; and the other
women who as yet have not succumb-
ed may prevent the disease by simply
taking more sleep. A woman will
plead that she hasn't time to lie down
for a few minutes in the daytime; and
she will infringe upon the hours Of
the night, which should be given to
sound, healthy, needed sleep, in order
ty finish some piece of work which
could as well be completed on the
morrow She will rush and hurry all
day long; and then, when the house
hold is hushed in slumber at night, she
will sit up to read the daily paper,
thinking she will not have to pay for
the time she is stealing from the
health giving sleep that comes before
midnight.
A physician, who is a specialist in
nervous disorders, says that women
should sleep at least nine hours at
night and one hour in the daytime.
Some women insist that they cannot
sleep by daylight; but, if they persist
every day in closing the eyes at a reg
ular time, slumber will come, and rest
to the nerves will follow.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Drained tea leaves scattered over a
carpet before sweeping, help to bright
en- it surprisingly. Coarse salt may
be used in the same way, but it rusts
the tacks and doesn't do the carpet
any good.
To Danish red ants from the pantry,
strew whole cloves around the shelves.
The same is also considered a good
moth exterminator.
A simple relief for collie is warming
by means of an inverted hot saucer
wrapped in flannel and placed over
the abdomen. 1t will quickly relieve.
Roses like rich soil. Old COW ma
nure is the best fertilizer for them.
Dirt from an old chip yard, too, is
good. Keep them well pruned, re-
moving all weak branches.
The practice of ''trotting'' baby
on the knee, though it has the sane
ton of long practice, has not the sane
ton Of common sense, and should
never be INDUCED. Treating the
adult body in a ratio Of corresponding
strength, the exercise would be equiv
alent to being ourselves churn ed up
and down on the walking beam of a
good sized steam engine. Tt has been
very properly said that ''gentle move
ment is as pleasing to the child, as
driving in an easily running carriage
on smooth road is to an adult; knee
jolting as unpleasant and harmful as a
journey over the worst corduroy
roads"
