MANAGING a Husba nd.

The management of husbands is a topic
not new, but of never failing interest to
the mass of women who find their matri-
monial path not completely obscured
from view by rose leaves. A clever
writer when asked her views on the sub
ject said: "The wisest women usually
know the least about managing Il man.
If you wish to gain ideas of value ask Il
little woman with a retrousse nose and Il
weakness for bonnet and changing fash
ions. The sensible woman wouldn't be
like her for the world, and yet ten to one
that little woman has the more sense of
the two. e., more sense about the vital
questions of life-relative to domestic
happiness. She won't tell you her Sc
cret of making a devoted slave out of Il
selfish, everyday kind of Il man. but you
may depend upon it she doesn't worry
about the butcher and the baker and
other bill collectors who call OH the first
of the month. She buys silk stockings
and wears ribbon bows on her under
wear, and Sews sachet powder into her
gowns and never let's him know she can
wash dishes or. make beds or do COM
mon-place work that you can hire done

he is gone. He has no time to tlirt. 1t
isn't a good thing for a man to have too
much time on his hands. The best of
them are inclined to firt. This is what
the %pug-nosed woman would tell you if
she told you the truth. She won't tell
you, though. Shells far too smart to do
that.
Everyone has her business in life. The
business of IL married woman is to make
a good mana model man-out of the
man she -murries. This is not simple of
achievement. 1t often requires both
courage and genius.

George KEENAN,, who travels extensively and
then lectures to make money out of his wan
derlngs and ponderings in many lands, has
the honor OF being blaeklisted in Russia. The
Car OF to-day honors the memory OF John
Howard, who died more than hundred years
ago this month, and offered Is, 900 rubles for
biographical essay of the deceased; but when
George KEENAN, followed in the footsteps of
Howard drew back the curtain and showed
the shudder1ng horrors in Siberian prisons the
Car offers larger sum for a successful essay
on the modern traveller and lecturers life. John
Howard sleeps in lnnocuous silence at Kherson
but George KEENAN, is awake and speaking to
the civilized world. He will lecture at Golden
Gate Hall next month, illustrating his dis
course with stereopticon views from photo
graphs taken by himself while travelling
through Russia. The sale of tickets for the
series will commence tomorrow morning at
sherman, Clay Co.'s. By the way, it may as
well be mentioned that Mr.. Grant, founder of
the Geographical Society in this city, greater
traveller than even Mr. KEENAN,, and who spent
many years in Siberia, dissented from many re-
marks made by the lecturer on that country,
as not being founded on fact. Travellers, like
doctors, Will disagree.

A Hiatus.

The Baldwin is silent, and will remain so for
two weeks. The singers have departed after
an operate engagement that has used up a
couple of tenors, but, at the same time, has in
creased Manager Pratts bank account in a
most satisfactory degree. The hiatus in the
business OF this theater is due to the cancella-
ton of the engagement of Claxton and Janu-
schek, old seasoned actresses, who promised to
come here and indulge us with D'Ennerys
"The Two Orphans"
The theater reopens on Monday, February 4.
By that time the double-star combination of
Warde and James will have arrived with a
handsome list OF Legitimate plays including a
group from Shakespeare. "Henry IV' is con-
sidered the mainstay of this engagement, which
is said to be most sumptuously mounted, and
in which Warde as Hal, and James, as the fat
knight, have made themselves favorably talked
about. The Ward-James repertoire includes
francesca da Rimln The Lions +, Mouth
ginius," etc.
Following Warde and James at the Baldwin
we are TO see the George Edwarde's Company
from the Prince of Wales Theater, London, in
their successful piece, "The Gaiety Girl"
which has made marvellous hit in the East,
having played for over three months to crowded
houses at Days Theater, New York.

George Osbourne and Ethel Brandon will re-
turn TO this theater, their old stamping ground
when the audience was in an applauding hui
NOR, on Monday night, January 81, as prfnci-
pals in H. Grattan Donnelly's "An American
Girl" which Manager Howe expects to stage in
elaborate style to secure popular and long en-
gagement. 1t is likely that Mr.. Osbourne will
remain in charge of the stage for an indefinite
period, and that he and Miss Brandon will be
often seen together in new pieces. With these
old-time favorites once more on the boards, a
dramatic revival at this theater is looked for.

Gnstau Walter a Plungar,

The Orpheum continues to draw large audi
ences despite the inclement weather and the
keen opposition OF other strong attractions in
the city. Nor is this to be wondered at when
the qualities of the weekly programme are con-
sidered. Walter is a "plunger" in the matter
of securing talent. 1t matters not to him what
the cost of transportation of artists or what
their figures may be, so long as he considers
their acts suitable for his patrons. He brings
them on, whether it be from Europe or Arme-
mia, and the success that he has achieved speaks
volumes for his enterprise and managerial
instincts.

6ing-Sing"; an Oriental surprise, "The Caliph

principal features in this great professors "bag
o tricks" we give in detail:
THE AsIATIC TRUNK MYSTERY
is described as being Herrmann's greatest ad-
dltlon TO the puzzles OF wonderland-one that
in TACT battles the keenest comprehension. 1t
was suggested to him by q crime committed
short while ago BY this feat the TACT is shown
that II is possible for person to escape after
being bound in two trunks, and he having dis
appeared another individual is found in his
place This is accomplished in fourteen sec
onds by the watch, and is incomprehensible TO
the audience. although the feat, during its
brief progress and the manipulation as we'll, are
the cynosure OF all eyes.
THE ARTISTS DREAM
May be called mOno-act play with magical
incident forming the central feature. 1t is rep
resented as decided novelty and quite out Of
the groove of orthodox occultism. In it Herr
mann takes the part of MephistO, Dr.. Faustus'
familiar, and Nine. Hermann that of hand
some young artist who has painted picture
OF his ideal form of feminine loveliness, which,
like the statue in the classic fable of Pygmalion
and Galatea, becomes vivitied before his aston
ished eyes. The accessories 10 the illusion are
more notable than the illusion ITSELF and con-
sist of electric, spectacular and calcium sur
prises combined, with special scenic and me-
chanical devices.
Is comical deception. There is a craft made
with relative dimensions, after the pattern Of
that biblical vessel which Bishop Colenso used
as means to show that the historian OF the
Pentateuch was not good mathematician.
Hermann takes this miniature ark 10 pieces
and shows to the audience that il is not ten
snted by any living thing. Then replacing the
parts, prestoi draws forth an entire aviary of
birds and q menagerie OF animals of all kinds
These greet the spectators in their own way,

the "Noah'S Ark illusions Mr.. Fox will play

SUICIDE AMONG WOMEN.
The Tendency to End Life Is Rarer Than
on the Part of Men.

The Tendency to End Life Is Rarer Than
the Part of Men.
1t is beyond question that the tendency
toward suicide is much rarer among wo-
men than men the proportion of female
suicides to male is, in fact, all over the
world about one in five. But general sta
tistics are of little use for full and pro-
found analysis of this psychological and
social phenomenon, because they do not
show the special fields and sundry forms
of female suicide with which the student
of woman and her psychological charac-
teristics must deal.
AS it is consequently necessary to divide
the suicides into classes, according to their
motives, and to study those classes sepa-
rately, the first task would seem to be to
find the best and most natural classical
ton of the motives for suicide. Destitution
does not lead SO frequently to suicide
among women as among men. The finan-
cial ruin of man involves almost always
the ruin of his relatives; and, therefore, of
several women, such as his wife, his daugh-
tiers and sisters. Indeed, while the man
generally causes and is responsible for the
disaster, the consequences of the calamity
strike the female mem ers of the family

could ever live to be as old as Corporal Brewster
looks; he appears to be nearer 900 Than 80,
and in comparison with him Methuselah. at
the very end of his life, must have seemed a
mere lad. No detail of the portrait, however
painful, is spared us. He is hideops, sinister
puppet; the trembling hand, the red eyes, the
causeless tears, the audible tapping OF the tea,
the eapricous temper and anecdotage are all
