"A Gaiety Girl" will be at the Provi-
dence Opera House every evening next
week and matinees Wednesday and
Saturday.
The unmistakabl sign OF novelty which
pervsdes the atmosphere in the announce
fDent OF the production of "A Gaiety
Girl" is evidently contagious, as ali coun-
tries appear to be affected alike.
1t is announced as a musical comedy in
two acts, combiniDg the interest and CO.
herency OF a comedy, TO the attractive and
slluring qualities of comic opera and
extravaganza.
Sixty persons are engaged in its repre-
sentation, which is given with a wealth
of scenic adornment and rich costuming
most attractive to the eye.
Since its original production in London,
where 1t ran for 400 nights, IL has been
sent through Europe, even reaching the
far off point OF South Africa, and
In every instance nothing but
success has been recorded OF il. Finally
II reached this country, having been
brought over by Mr.. Augustin DAILY, to
fill an engagement at his New York house,
where ii was produced on Sept. II. last,
and Immediately caught the town.
Its successful run there OF 100
nights was cut short on account OF
the reviously-announced opening OF Mr..
Days regular company with Miss Ada
Rehan, otherwise there seems to be no
doubt it would have run the season out.
The favorable reception of this production
appears to have been unusual in all cities.
The company that will appear here comes
direct from Days Theater, London, as
well as New York.
The organization numbers 60 persons In
all, while the scenic adornment and
elaborate costuming are features OF
msSksd significance. The character of the
production, which is termed a musical
comedy, appears TO be a concentration of
the attractive features of comic opera and
extravaganza.
IL never descends to vulgarity and re-
tains an natmosphereof refinement through
out. In construction IL is cup to date"
which naturally enhances the charm of
expectancy in those who have not yet
seen 1t, for after all the one element for
which theater- goers OF tho present age
have q universal hankering, is that
essential quality OF novelty. The story of
the play is not particularly complicated,
but is just sufficiently interesting to re-
tain ones attention.
A fine bill, indeed, is that offered for
next week, beginning Monday, March IS,
ut b. +. Keith's Opera House when Peter
#. Daley, a most talented and popular
comedian, will begin a return engagement

John Hare, the English actor, and man
sger OF the Garrick Thester, London, who
is coming to America next season with
his own company, is not q star In the
generally accepted sense OF the word.
That is 10 say, he does not always take the
part in the play that has the most dialogue,
the most effective speeches and the end
OF every climax. Sometimes he lets an
other member of his company be on the
stage longer than he II himself. Hare, II
is said, achieves his successes by his fine
and subtle delineation of character. He
impersouates role with every attention
to the smallest detail of gesture and be-
hsvior.

the bounds of proprlety in criticising
the action of the board. If he Is not

CULTURES IN THE DAIRY.

Considerable attention has been
directed of late to tho production of
cultures for ripening cream, so that
the practical tests recently made at
the Canadian Experiment Farm are
extremely timely and interesting read
ing to dairymen. The conclusions
arrived at from these tests are as fol-
lows:
/. The flavor OF butter is largely
determined by the ferments Tor bac-
teria) which develop in the milk or
cream.
2. The ferments which cause milk
or cream to ripen are ordinarily intro
duced into them from the atmosphere,
from the milk vessels, from the bodies
of the cows, or from the clothing and
persons of the mixers.
3. Where no disease exists, and
where no offensive odor is prevalent,
the ferments which get into all milk
and cream produce only odors aud
havors which are agreeable in the but
ter.
A. The atmosphere of thoroughly
clean dairy building contains ferments
which get into all milk and cream ex-
posed to it, and which are capable OF
impnrting to the butter flavor OF
high market value.
5. The culture of ferments obtained
by the Central Experimental Farm i'm
parted a more valuable flavor to the
! butter than the pure culture of Tactic
ferment from the Danish laboratories.
9. The homemade culture produces
slightly more butter per pound o
butter fat in slightly less time thar
when the cultures we're used.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Eat mp lot of those young cocker
els. What's the use of feeding them
longer?
A little lime. water, applied to plants
occasionally will kill the little worms
in the soil.
Don't forget to brace up the fowls
occasionally with a liberal feed OF
green cut bone.
Do you furnish grit for the fowls?
They cant properly digest food with
out it, and ground oyster shells don't
cost much.
If You have an abundance OF tur-
nips and carrots, boil them up with
small potatoes and give to the fowls.
They made excellent food.
Don't forget to give the fowls plenty
of fresh water all the time. Be-
cause the weather is cooler does not
take away their desire to drink.
Have you put those dry leaves in
your scratching pen yet? 1t will be n
good plan to put barrel or two OF
the dry leaves away for use during
the winter.
Have barrel handy in which to
throw the droppiDgs as you clean them
from beneath the perches. Alternate
this with the layer of Stacked lime,
and keep the barrel covered. 1t will
prove valuable fertilizer for your
garden next spring.
If you have surplus OF cabbage
leaves, beet leaves, ETC., pound them
all down together in box or barrel,
and cover them mp tightly. You car
draw on that silo for green stuff oc'
casionally, all winter. and nothing il
more conducive to eggs than greer
stuff in winter.
Better kerosene your perches onc'
more just for luck. Though it is get
ting pretty cold for lice to work mucl
yet there is need of precaution TO
they will find warm corners and crev
ices, in which to live all winter, an'
their eggs will hatch out in the sprin
aud why not clean the last vestige ou
now.
