Concerning Madame Sans Gene" to

Angeles Capital says: There has
never been moment since the death,
some seventy years ago, of the Man
OF Destiny at st. Helena, when the
public interest in his unexampled,
IL not exemplary career, has been SO
great as to-day. Many volumes have
appeared and every magazine of any
standing has contained during the past
year articles historical or critical re-
rerring to the first Napoleon. 1t is but
natural, of course, that a Frenchman
should have written the best play bear
Ing upon his life. Sardou's Napoleonic
play, Nine. Sans Gene and not except
Ing La Tosca' or Fedora is said to be
this playwright's biggest effort. If the
subject of a play is historical and the

people are more or less familiar, it's

In this country have realized the neces-
sity of this. Months of labor must be
spent in preparing a new play for
presentation, each different department
OF the theater attending to that partic-
ular portion which comes under its
head. The reflection is brought about
by the fact known to the writer that
Augustus Pitou has spent months in
making the necessary arrangements for
the production of Nine. Sans Gene
Mr. Pitou has succeeded in having every
property used in this play historically
accurate in its production. The crown

in Washington in dress. Belonging to one of the oldest and richest families in Washington, he was supported with an abundant income. The effort for physical development he had made in college caused an impression on his mind which resulted in his padding his shoul- ders to a tremendous degree. With this eccentricity he also had a ten dency to large-sized collars and cuffs the cuffs always being made to order and twice the size ordinarily worn by men. His neck he painted red and hls face was coated with white. which gave him ghastly appearance. This mode of attire Dunlop continued to the day of his death, his clothes be- ing made by the most fashionable tailor here. During his earlier years he was a constant attendant at theaters and at social events, for he never stood lon any formality," and would go to recep- tions without invitation, his well known family always guaranteeing kindly reception for him in the coterie with which he was familiar. But notwith- standing these eccentricities, MT. Dun lop is pronounced by men who knew him most intimately to have been one of the soundest and most discerning literary critics of his day. He left an immense library, buying and reading every new book of any note. Only a couple of weeks ago he visited the capi- tol building for the last time, He was nearly seventy years of age. and despite the enormously padded shoulders and arms walked foebly. He was the most unique eccentric character that Wash ington has ever known.

n- o.I rO1 LIKE PERFUMES.
But the Reminiscent Odor of a Cigar Was
 Another Matter.

Another Matter.
 It was at a lecture; the room was hot and crowded, and Mrs. Bittersweet noticed that her husband was suffering under sense of injury, says the Chi eago Tribune.
 What is it, dear?" she whispered, under cover of one of the speakers rounded periods.
 MT. Bittersweet's sniffs became more audible. Its the abominable odor of perfumery in the room," he puffed. I'm almost asphyxiated by it. Why, I can count fourteen distinct scents every time the women about us ap- plaud."
 70, well, try not to notice it" whis- pered his wife, with that cheerfulness always displayed by the friends of the sufferer in such cases. ''Do listen to the lecture; it is just splendid"
 ''Humph; I suppose you like the odor: women always do like whatever costs money. Do you happen to know what is spent annually on perfumery in America alone?"
 "No, dear, don't. What is it?"
 "Um-well, I don't remember the exact figures just now. but assure you it is something enormous. For my part I think that the carrying of perfumes into public places should be prohibited by law, and the amount of money which would otherwise have been wasted upon them might then go to- wards endowing an asylum for those idiots who don't know that others have rights in public"
 'Sh-sh! You are disturbing people. The lady in the violet bonnet is looking daggers at you"
 ''Humph, the one whose handkerchief is poisoned with patchouli; don't care if she isn't pleased. Say, I think I'll step out for cigar"
 ''Do," said his wife, with smile, T thought something beside the perfume was troubling you"
 He came back before long with smil- ing face and settled himself contented- ly in his place. As he did so the lady in the violet bonnet, who sat next to him, began to wave her handkerchief before her face.
 ''Isn't it awful, she whispered to her companion, wherever one goes it is just the same-some horrid man poi sons the air with the odor of stale to- bacco; positively I couldn't endure it if l hadn't some strong perfume about me as an antidote."

LACK OF ORDER.
The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline,

The Chinese are an untidy race, whose cities in their native country are frightfully unclean, and whose special quarters in our cities are apt to afford anxiety to boards of health. The Jap anese, on the contrary, are extremely cleanly, orderly and neat; and one of the stories told of Chinese soldiers in the present war tends to show that this difference has played no small part in determining victory or defeat.
 The Japanese are armed with mod ern weapons, of which they take ex- cellent care, and which they handle with skill and efficiency. A lady writ ing from China says that the Chinese troops are provided with curious va riety of European arms, obsolete. ancient and new; and that cartridges for perhaps twenty different makes are all served out together.
 In Manchuria she actually saw cart ridges piled carelessly on the ground, mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps like potatoes and short, fat and thin, all mixed together, and soldiers uIGlHS tucIu IO GHelr E uHS, ryluS Gneu, and throwing away those which were too large or too smallw

He sell dom waits that chance; he runs, and throws his useless rifle promptly away that he may run the faster.-London Spectator.

 When packing butter, learn what sort of package suits the customers best and give it to them as desired. A square brick or print is always suitable and neat and tidy in appearance Bricks or prints are made by printers of the form desired and will weigh up butter to very near the desired weight It is wrapped in parchment paper, making the butter attractive and of uniform size. The parchment may be printed with the name of the farm, dairy or creamery on it. Parchment preserves the butter in every respect and the air is excluded. The pound package is just the size required by city customers. Anyone would pay more for neat pound print than for butter put up from tub with a mangled appearance.-Farm and Home.

Specimen of the Argot in Use Among Aus
 tralian Sheep Shearers.
 If the specimen of Australian dialect which Gilbert Parker gives in the Idler is fair sample of what we may expect when dialect writers begin to work up that country, we have not yet seen the worst. Here is little story which reads like missing word puzzle or a cipher telegram: ''Tell ye low it was. I toddles off to the shed, pulls down me tongs, 'auls out a bloomln' papillion, and was goin' down the whippin' side, both blades 'eavily load ed, wen the boss drops and shot me dead. I takes 'op skip an a jump back to the ut, put two folds in the old shirallee, sings the 'og 'ide on the tall crocodile, goes up the river like frog, sits down along sleepy Jim's muster and strips hundred and forty by four o'clock next" And here is the inter- pretation which Mr. Parker is kind enough to furnish us:
 ''This is how it happened: I walked off to the shearing shed, took down my shears, hauled out sheep, and was clipping down the right-hand side with all my might, when the manager came and discharged me. 1 went back to the hut, folded up my blanket, put the sad dle on my horse, galloped up the river, stopped at Sleepy Jim's sheep pen and shore a hundred and forty by four o'clock next day"

 Students of mental character have an interesting study in the character of Francis Key Dunlop, who died in Wash ington recently, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. Mr. Dunlop was known to everyone who has spent much time in Washington during the last third of a century. At college he was an athlete and developed himself physically to a remarkable degree. He received a severe tall while still at col lege, and this resulted in brain trouble that made him the most eccentric man
