The Idiotio Stare ID Good Form and II
Doubtless Easily Acquired,

Doubtless Easily Acquired.
tits said on excellent su hority. says
the New York Sun. that the idiotio
stare Is still In favor amo ong the exotic
youth OF swelldom. and any fashion,
able young man who cannot learn to
abstract every atom OF expression
from the countenance and look on
vacancy with an expression OF I'M be-
cility. cannot belong to the select
coterie or hold rank in the inner
circles. There are other impor tapt
matters which must be carefully
committed II one desires to be in the
van OF fashion. The first OF these
relates to the walking-stick and this
involves. perhaps, the most serious
responsibility. For the stick must
bo let at homo whom going TO bust
ness, to church or to make calls-
The reason Of the latter bylaw is
that in the language OF the stick, to
call upon q young lady while carry
ing a cane. implies that the caller is
on sufficiently intimate terms to look
in on her casually any time. What
finer subtlety than this is to be
found in the intricacies OF feminine
etiquette. Then there is a fixed
and immutable law governing the
carrying OF the cane. The correct
style is to hold it at an angle Of
forty-five degrees. with the ferrule
uppermost and forward. OF course
this is the sort Of thing no man
could possibly discover for himself
for the unsophisticated would natur-
ally carry his stick with the point to
the ground and in SO doing stand re.
vcaled as uninitiated in the supreme
refinement of etiquette. No man
with a particle OF selt-respect would
wear made-up evening tic. and as
some men find it impossible to learn
to tie the bow themselves there has
sprung up new industry for women.
A young woman in London has taken
up the unique calling OF going about
from house to house tying the neck
gear OF distraught bachelors who
cannot do it for themselves. The
custom will probably be introduced
on this side along with the other
English quirks. Let no man in his
conceit assume that when Pandora
opened her casket women monopo-
lized all the vanity. Besides it isn't
good form to be so critical. A uon-
chalant benevolence. superior and
patronizing. is the latest mode. and
it is not good form to be caustic or
pessimistic any more

NInpnrn of tho Snake.

The belief is expressed by many who are In
n position to know that the time is not far
distant when the great falls Of Shoshone, the
Niagara of the Snake River Of Idaho, will be
used TO supply power for manufacturing and
other purposes.
New Developments in the scheme to operate
an electric railroad between Shoshone and
the falls tend to confirm that belief
Negotiations have been In progress for
some time regarding this road, and, recently,
State Treasurer lllll received n letter from a
New York capitalist, who became interested
In the enterprise some time ago, saying he
was satisfied money could be raised not only
to build and operate the road, but to put In
nn extensive electric plant to furnish power
for mines and manufactures which the same
men would, doubtless, put In operation as
soon MS sufficient power was assured.
The length of tho proposed electric railway
will be forty miles, and if II be built, Sho-
shpne Falls will shortly become one of the
leading summer resorts of the West.-I,riga-

Tho Era of Muscle.

This Is an athletic age. Everybody wants to be
strong. The craze-for 1t has well nigh reached
that stage-affects both sexes and even childhood.
The pugilistic phase OF this fad in young Ameri-

one thing to be endowed with vigor and another
to be Sdndowed with muscle. Super muscularty

health and calculated to shorten life. The vigor
which means regular and efficient discharge Of
the physical functions, is the first medium at
which all may safely aim without causing rup-
lures or breaking blood vessels. Hostetter' Il

Flights of Birds.

As TO the speed with which the
migration flights of birds are accom-
plished, Canon Tristram, in tho
British Association. quoted Herr
Gatke as maintaining that godwits
and plovers can fly at the rate of 240
miles an hour. DR.. Jerdon had
stated that the spine-tailed swift,
roosting in Ceylon. would reach tho
Himalayas, 1000 miles, before sunset
In their ordinary flight the swift was
the only bird the author ever knew
to outstrip an express train on the
Great Northern railway.

Tonight the Rice, Wolford & Sher-
idan company opens 3-nights en-
gagement at Harper's theatre. A few
years ago should a man expend
thousands of dollars equipping

printing, special scenery. ETC., for a
tour of the country at 10, 20 and 80
cents, all would declare that he was
bereft of his senses. but so great is
the competition in the theatrical field
at present that popular price compa-
nies are required to give as good a
performance as higher price and
more pretentious organizations. for
when the people are once seated in n
theatre they seem t. forget the price
paid for admission, and compare the
performance with the laat one they
saw. even though they paid $l.00 for
it. Thus it is that a steady improve
ment is noticed in popular price
companies. Probably the best equip
ped company of this sort is the Rice,
