THE WOMAN WITH A PAST.
Her Frequent Appearance In tho Dram
10 Causing Discussion.

Her Frequent Appearance In the Drama
10 Causing Discussion.
Several high class English weekly re-
views have joined the London Times in
exhaustive discussion of the modern So
oiety drama, or what Labouchere de-
scribes as realistic Magdalen plays. -
Beerbohm Trees latest success, "John-
a-dreams," is the usual text employed,
but the subject has been made widely
comprehensive. Mr.. Tree was at first
somewhat resentful in resisting the at.
tacks upon his piece. In his latest let
ter, however, he admits, for the sake Of
the argument, that the woman with a
past has been too frequently upon the
stage Of late, but he affirms: Certain
it Is, however, that the best and strong
est dramatic work which this decade
has produced has been that whose SUBJ
ject some Of your correspondents have
SO severely reprobated The inference,
make bold to say, is obvious. It is
the epoch, not the actor or the author,
that is arraigned. The taste of the pub
lie is undoubtedly for discussion of such
problems, as is evidenced not only on
the stage, but in the lecture hall, in
magazine articles and in novels. The
desirability of such discussion is a
matter of opinion. To 60 to the root Of
the whole matter, What is an immoral
play? I hold that an immoral play is
one which deals in a spirit of flippancy
with those passions that are the very
central fact Ct life, which makes a jest
Of virtue, which flatters vice, which
panders to the lower instincts of our
nature and which clothes the naked
ness Of evil with transparent and allur-
ing garments. challenge any one to
point to single passage of Mr.. Cham
bers' play which could be thus de-
scribed"
The Times, in summing up the sub
ject, takes the side of the DIRECTORS, say
ing:
"We have had great deal too much
Of the woman with a past, and too
many of her. If she had been confined
to one play, she would still have had an
amount of calculation altogether out Of
proportion to her Importance. But she
is forced upon our attention with such
persistent assiduity that people who do
not want to hear about her find their
opportunities Of theater going seriously
curtailed. She has been elevated into a
cult The leading doctrine of the new
woman school, which contains certain
number of effeminate males, is that the
one thing worth living and working for
is free discussion of unsavory subjects
by men and women. When manager
desires to have little variety i'll the
way of play which does not turn upon
adultery, he has to engage in prolong-
ed struggle with playwright resentful
Of the excelsior of what he thinks the
finest thing in the piece.

THE REPORTERS REPLY.

He Quickly Discovered That He Wasn't
Talking to . Gentleman.
On Monday night we'll known op-
cratic star appeared at one Of the lead
ing opera houses. 1t was rumored that
she had bet 81, 900 on Levi P. Morton.
A reporter was sent over to the opera
house to inquire into it, but the bust
ness manager of the troop would not
let the reporter enter behind the scenes.
When the opera was over, another re-
porter was sent over to the hotel where
the operatic star was stopping. 1t was
half past IL when he sent up his card
requesting to see the singer in regard to
her bet. A moment later the business
manager came down stairs and con-
fronted the reporter.
do you consider yourself gentle
man," he was asked.
The reporter said he did and asked
what the business manager meant by
such question.
"Well, Miss - is lady, and no
gentleman would presume to call on
her at this hour. ;"
The reporter got somewhat heated by
this turn of affairs.
"Have you ever been a newspaper
MANI" he asked of the business mana
ger.
The business manager said he had.
"Well, then, said the reporter, ''you
must know that a reporter seldom dis
turbs any one of his own accord. It was
my duty to come here and try to see
Miss --. You might have sent word
down that could not see her. You say
that Miss - is a lady. do not
doubt that, but will say that she did
not get a gentleman for her business
manager, and before the business man.
ager could reply the reporter was gone.

DRUGGISTS MUST HAVE GOOD NOSES.
Missouri Pharmacies Preparing to Have
. Smelling Contest.

Missouri Pharmacists Preparing to Have
Smelling Contest.
In Missouri druggists are preparing
to hold big smelling contest at the an
nual meeting Of the State Pharmaoeut-
ical association next spring. That pill
roller who can name the greatest num-
Der Of drugs just by smelling of them
will carry off cash prize of $50. 1t
Wit probably be the first contest Of the
sort ev.r held, though druggists have
always recognized the value Of we'll
trained proboscis in determining the
nature of chemicals.
Chicago pharmacists are both inter-
ested and amused over the prospects for
smelling contest. There are few drugs,
common or rare, that are absolutely
odorless, and the test of smell is rec
ognized one among all pharmacists.
"a druggist must have a good nose,"
said one ''The odor Of drugs is part of
the test in all pharmaceutical colleges
A druggist will test drugs first by his
nose, then by sight, then by TASTE
Then he will experiment in chemical
reactions. A great many rare drugs
like cumarin, can be determined by
odor. Cumarin is derived from the
tonka bean and has its distinctive odor.
Other drugs, like carbolic acid in crys-
tails, are easily distinguished. Even sub
stances like oxalio acid, by setting up a
characteristic irritation in the nostrils,
may be determined. Sodium hyposul-
phite has faint smell discernible by
the educated nose, and nitrate of silver
has faint but distinctive smell. The
cyanide salts have an odor like peach
or cherry stones - the prussia acid
smells. All the salts of acetic acid are
easily determined, and iodine and bro
mine salts have also their distinctive
odors. On the other hand, the sodium
salts are hard to distinguish. Hydras-
tine has no smell, and you cannot dis
tinguish the salts of mercury by it's
smell. AS for the tinctures, they are
more easily distinguished by odor than
the salts. Nearly all of them have a
decided smell. Take arnica, camphor,
peppermint, cardamon, even layman
can distinguish them by their odors -
Druggist d. R. Dyche says: cit is
rather comical idea-that of SMELL
ing contest. Probably the pharmacists
in Missouri have better noses than we
have here in Chicago. This lake air is
not beneficial. You could probably run
up list Of 200 or 800 chemicals that
could be determined by smell alone.
Take common drugs like angelica root,
benzoin; rose leaves, even opium, sassa-
fras, annis, peppermint, cherry bark,
spearmint and the many of the aromat-
io oils and fluid extracts like thyme or
buchu or senna-any one not all expert
can easily determine them. If taste and
smell could both be employed, an enor-
mously big list could be prepared. -

Patriotic Boston.

OF late the people Of Boston and vi
cinity have been receiving letters
through the Boston postofice with a
new cancellation mark on the stamp
that resembles the American flag. The
design consists Of a series of curved
lines instead Of the five long parallel
lines which have been in common use.
Postmaster Coveney said that the
new machines were necessary, and SO
was the design. 1t is new feature, and
at present it is only used in the Boston
postoffce, as it has not yet been adopt
ed by the large offices throughout the
country. It is cancellation mark that
can be called thoroughly patriotic, for
It resembles the old American flag. 1t
is a new idea, not much over month
old"

to remark mildly that he had right to
his opinion. II dare you to say that

THE VANDAL IN EGYPT.

Temples and Idols Being Ruthlessly De-
stroyed For Building Material.
w. NJ. Flinders Petrie, in letter to
the London Times, bewails the destruc-
ton of monuments and historical rec
ords which is going on in Egypt. He
says that 'every season sees buildings
ruthlessly destroyed for the sake Of ma
terials and host Of objects plundered
by the natives from towns and ceme-
teries in order that they may be scatter
ed without name or record among the
tourist flock Even those objects which
pass into museums have lost most of
their Importance and of their value in
losing all record Of their original place
and circumstances.
1.-THE laws of Egypt may be excellent
in theory, but in practice it is we'll
known that hundreds of persons join in
this destruction-yet no man is punish
ed for it. There is, then, the most ur-
gent need of saving all that is possible
by complete and careful excavation, in
which the history and meaning of ev-
cry object shall be traced and recorded
as it is found To any person not &C.
quainted with the practical work Of ex-
cavation it might seem that so long as
things are not actually destroyed it does
not matter whether it be an Arab or a
trained observer that may find them.
But there is generally more history in
volved in the position and details of a
discovery than in the object found.
Fossils are worth but little if their
strata are unknown.
"More scientific material has been de-
stroyed than preserved in many or most
excavations, even by Europeans and
Psychologists. +" He then proceeds to So
licit for the Egyptian research account,
which, he says, has been established
mot to undertake great olearanoes or
exploits in the country, but to fit men
for work Of the highest class archmo-
logically, and at the same time benefit
our knowledge and our museums as far
az may be by means Of their excava-
