theatrical Tidings.

That the favorite come ian. Digby Bell
and his charming wife, Laura Joyce-Bell,
viii achieve additional triumphs in the
roles of "Deacon 1idd" and the "Spin-
ster" is foregone conclusion, inasmuch
as they are pre-eminently fitted for the
parts, and Hoyt's comedy, "Midnight
Bell, !" is unquestionably his masterpiece,
and is generally conceded to be the most
effective of and truest depletion of beauti-
full New England rural life, with the
strongest drawn characters of any OF its
sc-called rivals. The cast supporting Mr..
and Mrs. Bell is a notable one In every
respect. 1t contains the names OF many
weil-known and favorite artists, specially
selected for the respective parts in the
play. The C ompany, all told, numbers
twenty-five people, carries carload OF
splendid scenery, executed by the famous
artist, Arthur Voegtlin, Victor Herbert,
the eminent conductor, has written COM
plete new music for the production,
which will be personally managed by
Duncan b. Harrison. This attraction is
to appear i'm a special engagement at
keith's Opera House week of March 80.

Look Out for the Voice.

You often hear boys and girls say
words when they are vexed that sound
ss if made up of snarl, a whine and a
bark. Such voice often expresses
more than the heart feels. Often even
in mirth one gets voice or tone that is
sharp. and it sticks to him through life.
Such persons get sharp voice for home
use and keep their best voice for those
they meet elsewhere. l say to all BOYS
and girls, Use your guest voice at
home. Watch it day by day as pearl
of great price, for it will be worth more
to yon than the best pearl in the sea.
A kind voice is lark's song to n heart
and home. Train it to sweet tones now

late upon them, then they are dim
and semi-opaque and the eyes are
strained with trying to look through
them.
1t is not an easy matter to keep
glasses in perfect order, especially in
warm weather, and just what is best
to clean them with has long been an
unsettled question. One man has put
himself on record as declaring that
the only cleaner he has found satisfac-
tory was bank note of large denom-
ination. Whether the size of the note
or the quality had to do with the
efficacy of it did not transpire. A
lady has used Japanese paper napkin
with most pleasing results, and says
she buys paper napkins by the dozen
and keeps them on hand for this pur-
pose. Another lady, who must be
very particular about her glasses,
keeps on hand bits of mosquito net
ting thoroughly washed and rinsed in
clear water and ironed, and pro-
nounces them in every way better than
anything else she has ever tried. The
ordinary pocket handkerchief, being
not a practical glass cleaner, these
suggestions are given for what they

The smiles that light some kindred face,
To cheer us when by sorrow bowed. =
Are like the glory beams that chase
The darkness from the summer cloud;
Dear. radiant gleamings of the soul,
The sunshine of affections sky,
They lift the heart from grief's control
And wipe the tear from sorrows eye.
The tear-drops on some kindred cheek,
When joy is mingled with despair,
Our spirits gloom can lif. and break,
And leave joys light unclouded there;
Can lift and thrill the trembling heart,
And soothe us in life's saddest hours,
And sparkle on the soul as clear
As dews that sleep on fainting flowers.
Loves holy smile and PHYS tear,
Like angel footprints from the skies,
They lift us DER the mortal sphere,
And give us CLEANS of Paradise.
Oh, Smiles and Tears, by these alone,
Had we no higher rapture given,
The heart might hope for glory's zone
The soul might wing its way to heaven
