THE STAR OF THE TROUPE
4 CHAT WITH MISS ADAIR, THE
SKIRT DANCER.
Young, Pretty and Charming-Has
Dances and Costumes for Honolulu.

Miss Elsie Adair, the petite sweet
faced star and head of the company
engaged for a season in Honolulu, is
daughter of California. Il am II
Westerner and am proud of my ma
tivity," asserts she with a shrug evinc-
ing the truth of her proposition. She
is young, and noting this fact, one is
puzzled to couple her age with the in
ternational reputation she enjoys.
Miss Adair is in some respects an eN-
traordinary type of woman. She has
been described in many ways. She is
quite small and trifie delicate. Her
complexion is fair, eyes blue, hair
dark. Eyes are bright, but lack the
boldness so common to stage people.
She possesses a winning smile and an
amable disposition. She possesses the
qualities necessary to make friends
and keep them.
| Miss Adair began her career on the
stage a few years ago as Shakespeare
can actress. This was soon given up
for acrobatic dancing. In that line
the young lady gained many admirers
and won for herself II reputation.
From this she entered the field of
more graceful and artistic dancing.
The present perfection of the serpen-
tine dance is due to her explorations
in this new field.
My work as an acrobatc dancer,
! said she, was begun in New York
City. 1t seemed to please, but was
distasteful to me. | regarded it as n
rather low type of dancing and took
up my new line. Since then | have
appeared successfully in all of the
llarge cities OF America, the Orient and
Europe"
Miss, Adair usually gives four dis
tinct dances at each performance. She
has subdivided the serpentine dance
into Il number of parts, of which the
following are a few Dreamland, Al
!
Fire Dance, Scarf Dance, Midnight
Les Lys, etc. All of these require
separate and distinct costumes.
AS might be presumed these cos
tunes are very elaborate and eXpeu
sive One of them contains 500 ward,
of the lightest silk to be obtained in
the world. So delicate is it that if
can be easily drawn through an ord
| mary bracelet. Some of the shorter
dresses can be drawn in the same way
through a finger ring. The material
rs so light that the air started by the
motions of the hand raise the folds in
a thousand shapes and move them as
easily rs if they were composed OF
vapor.
The dresses are so delicate that they
! have to he made up with exceeding
care. The little artist personally
superviSes each stitch. Days are con
sumed in the making of each garment
and they are not infrequently ruined
! The long dress will be used in the
performance Monday evening.
When here in 1893 Miss Adair ac.
companied her troupe as far as Java.
where she was taken with fever and
| had to return to America. This time
Java is out of the program The com
pany will proceed to Japan, to China.
Nladivostock, the Straits settlements,
Siam, Burmah, India, to Cairo and into
Africa
Miss Jardine, of the Adair Com.
pany, is vocalist. She is a native of
Germany, though has lived twenty
years in America. She will appear in
comic specialties and character songs

Call Them Wheelways,

There is need Of good word for des-
ignating a road from place to place ex-
clusively for bicycles Bicycle path is
the term commonly used. There are sew
eral reasons why this is not suitable
term.
In the first place, the word path prob
ably is derived from the Greek verb pa
tein Ito walk), and means footway.
Secondly, the expression is too long; it
has four syllables. Thirdly, it is clumsy /;
it has two accents Fourthly, it is not
euphonic.
Instead of bicycle path The Compan-
ion respectfully suggests wheelway.
This word is analogous in its formation
to driveway. The word has not been
used in any other sense except by one or
two writer's incorrectly to designate
those parts of wagon road i'll which
the wheels run Way means the entire
road, and not some part of it. Wheel
way is better than wheel road for the
same reason that driveway is better than
drive road. 1t suggests recreation before
utility. Companion.

Where the Bee Works,

Properly considered, beehive is a
wonderful shop and each individual
insect is a curiosity. The inhabitants of
hive are classed as drones, workers
and queens. The queen is the mother
Of every insect in the hive unless she
has been installed instead Of a queen
who had died and left the hive without
a mistress. The queen bee is the wonder
Of the whole insect tribe as far as egg
laying is concerned, often depositing
1000 eggs day for days in succession
during the most productive season. The
chief wonder connected with the work
or bee is the admirable manner in which
his body is shaped and fitted with in
struments for honey gathering. These
natural instruments consist of cups,
combs, brushes, knives, tunnels, scrap
ers, ETC., each of which is worthy of a
week of careful and painstaking study
under high grade microscope. -Chica-

STRONG ON ECONOMY.

A Philadelphia Husband Dispenses With
the Services OF Carpenter.
Anewly married man, who had never
had much experience in doing small
jobs about the household, told several
Of his associates Of his first attempt to
gain his wife's approval by doing fn-
vor for her.
lyon know am very fond of dogs"
said he. "Well, I purchased fine lit
tie fox terrier pup, and he was so full
of ginger that he chewed up everything
he could get at about the house and
nearly worried my wife's pet cat to
death. Then she suggested that get a
carpenter to build pen in the yard for
him. But was strong ON the economy
lay and resolved to build the pen my
self The first thing I did was to order
~ feet of wire netting. 1t was the kind
with holes in it about two inches in
diameter. This cost me So. When I got
home, l found l had to have four posts,
each five feet long, and these cost me So.
After I got the posts planted I had no
hammer and nails. These cost me 49, 20.
II worked hard at the job for several
evenings and finally completed it.
Then called my wife to bring out the
pup, and also expected to receive her
congratulations. Triumphantly placed
the dog inside the Enclosure and then
waited to have my wife bestow her
praise. The pup walked around the in
closure and then deliberately climbed
up the coarse netting as easily as if it
had been a stepladder and fell on the
outside, and he's been at large ever
since. "-Philadelphia Record.

EXERCISES FOR THE THROAT.
A Branch Of Physical Culture Not Often
Touched On.

A Branch Of Physical Culture Not Often
Touched On.
The chronic sore throat is not infre-
quently produced by the misuse Of the
vocal organs. Very often that unruly
little member, the tongue, is accounta-
BILE for the difficulty, as it is for great
many other troubles in this transitory
life. Many people have habit when
talking Of pushing the tongue so far
back against the delicate membranes
that line the throat that irritation more
or less painful is caused, and if it con-
tinues any length Of time ulcers will
form, and SO will a Doctors bill.
Control Of the tongue Is excellent in
all senses of the word. Physically this
organ may be managed by depressing it
into a hollow at point three-quarters
Of an inch back of where the tip of it
comes when in natural position i'll the
mouth and at the same time singing
very light head tones. This exercise
requires some patience at first, but the
habit of keeping the tongue down is
soon acquired. in speaking or singing
it should not be allowed to hoop up and
fill the mouth thus interfering with
the free passage of the tones of the voice
from the throat to the front of the
mouth, where they should strike and
then escape clear as bell. This hoop
ing upof the tongue in the mouth is the
cause Of much of the indistinct and
often obliged to listen.
In many people we notice the line
from the point Of the chin to the neck
is in the form Of a right angle. In q
shapely throat this line forms q curve
just as canary's does when the small
yellow artist is warbling his carols.
To develop the throat and make this
angle curve, stand before mirror so
that you may watch the throat swell
out. Now thrust your tongue out as far
as it will Co. then draw it back quickly
and forcibly, at the same time bringing
it downward in the mouth as far as you
can. Place your thumb and forefinger
against the larynx Commonly called
the Adam apple), and if you are MAX
ing the right movement you will feel
the larynx pass downward. For week
or two make the movements lightly.
After that time put as much force into it
as you can The exercise should be
practiced for few minutes several
times day to insure rapid and good
results.
To fill up the hollows Of the neck,
stand correctly, and then slowly fill the
lungs with air without elevating your
shoulders. AS the air is forced upward
into the throat hold it there few Sec
onds and then expel slowly. This exer-
else is best performed soon after rising
in the morning and before retiring at
night. New York Post

Since succeeding the abovenained firm,
whose entire stock, fixtures and good will we
have purchased, we have remodeled the cele-
brated Braddock Dstillery in all Its APP
purtenances, until it now stands without
rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of Il
perfectly pure all-rye Whiskey for medicinal
or other purposes, free from fusel or other
poisonous oils so frequently found in less
reliable goods.
We have testimonials from leading phys
icians IN all parts of the country commenting
the Braddock for its medicinal properties
Among the latest is one from Professor.
J. III. Mallet the distinguished chemist of
the University of Virginia, who, at our re-
quest, made very careful analysis of it, and
writes as follows:
THE sample of Braddock sent me upon
analysis contains no sulphates nor heavy
metals such as copper, lead or zinc, and APP
pears to be sound, genuine whiskey, free

from all deleterous foreign substances and
free to a more than usual extent from anylic
alcohol"
Ask any physician his opinion of this
analysis.
We take great pleasure in recommending the
Braddock Pure Rye to all seeking or desiring
to obtain an absolutely pure rye whiskey as
beverage or for medicinal uses. Ask your
dealer for it; don't be induced to take some
thing else. If he does not keep it, order di-
rectly from us.
