ADJUSTMENTS.
Lothrop's Grand Opera House

"Money Mad" was the attraction at
Lothrop's Opera House last night and
which is to be given all this week. The
inclement weat her prevented a large au-
dience but neither weather nor audience
took from the energy OF those In the cast.
The play - a very interesting one, full OF
good situations, some being thrilling,
and 1t is sure of becoming popular.
Mrs. j. Clinton Hall, as Aunt Phillis,
was exceedingly good and portrayed the
character Of an old Southern darkey to
perfection. Miss Mack, too, in the char
acter OF Katie O'Neil set out in clever
way the strong points OF the part.
The william OF the play Is Cary Haskins
who tries to Kill his uncle in order to get
his millions. He is the money mad youth
" nose hands are dyed In dark and ques.
tionable plots. }. Francis Kirke gave a hne
Interpretation of this character, as did also
William Farnum that Of Jack Adams. As
Sink Il. X. Burton, and Miss Deane as
Teddy, gave excellent interpretations.
Both are popular artists and are always
welcome. The other parts were also we'll
filed, making the play very strong one.
1t is to be given the entire week.
Keith's Opers House.
Despite the inciemency OF the weather
last evening there was'a very large au-
dience present at this popular house to
witness "Yon Yonson." AS the stolid
Swede, Gus Heege is amusing 10 the ex-
treme. 'rhe support is good. Miss Victory
Bateman as Grace Sennipgs is we'll suited
to the part. Miss Merri Osbourne is
lively and vivacious and Miss Sadie Con-
molly Is very amusing. Charles Mitchell
sustains well the part OF the conspiring
Holloway, and Master Tommy Mcguire
fills the juvenile part OF Roby acceptably.
The Lumbermen's Quartet, composed OF
Messrs. Craven, Maynard, Rees and
Corns, introduce several harmonius Sc
lections during the action OF the play.

The power of continuing motionless,
with the lifted head projected forward
for an indefinite time, is one of the most
wonderful of the serpent's muscular
feats, says the FortnIghtly Review, and
one of the highest importances to the
animal, both when fascinating its victim
and when mimicking some mani
mate object, as, for instance, the
stem and bud Of an aquatic plant: here
it is only referred to OH account of the
effect it produces on the human mind,
as enhancing the Serpent's strangeness.
In this attitude, with the round. un-
winking eyes fixed on the beholder's
face. the effect may be very curious and
uncanny. Ernest Granville. South

frequently went out into the bush
in quest of game, and OH one
of these solitary excursions he
sat down TO rest In the shade of willow

there with cheek resting on his hand he
fell into bOyish reverie. After some
time hs became aware In a vague way
that on the white, sandy bottom of the
stream there was stretched long,
black line, which had not been there at
first. lie continued for some time re-
garding it without recognizing what iJ

shock, became fully conscious that he
was looking at large snake.

so softly and silently was 1t done, the
snake reared his bead above the sur
face and held it there, erect and still,
with cleaning eyes fixed on me in
question of what I was. 1t flashed
upon me then that it would be 9 good
opportunity to test the power Of the
human eye on snake, and set myself
the task of looking it down. 1t was a
foolish effort. The bronze head and
the sinewy peek, about which
