Gilbert is the dead wood of the firm.
We saw that this season in New York.
THE Chieftain," by Sir Arthur, was I'M
usually successful, but "His Excel
lency" failed. Gilbert reads just as
we'll as ever, but his books won't act,
and that is where the trouble comes in.
The only thing that disposes me to
think that there is in reality some value
in The Grand Duke, or the Statutory
Duel" is the opinion of ], G. Duff. Mr.
Duff went to London in the interests Of
the Brooks-M Miner $50,000,000 syndicate.
He was commissioned to see the Gilbert
G. Sullivan opera and secure the Amer
lean rights if necessary. He cabled
back: "Emphatically no good for
America" Those were the only cheer
ing words l have heard about "The
Grand Duke" 1t cant be wholly bad,
or ]. C. Duff would not have condemned
it so severely. There must be merry
and a pellucid quality about it or Mr..
Duff would not have been so certain it
was a failure. If had been connected
with the Brooks-Miner $4,000, 900 syn
dictate, l would at once, upon receipt Of
Mr.. Duff's cable, have secured the
American rights of THE Grand Duke"
Duff is an unerring guide. When he
says things good, it is sure to be bad,
and when he says things bad, there
ara millions in H. ALWAYS min nv
faith to Duff's judgment, which is in
fallible if vice-versa'd.

The imports of rice into the United
States for the eight months ending
March were 4S,O43 short tons, as
against 64OS7 tons during the same
time the previous year. Included in
this were 22,255 tons of clean rice,
against 1892 tons during the same
time the year before. There were a.
900 tons Of rice flour, rice meal and
broken rice imported, as against 23,141
tons the year before. The notable fea-
ture of these imports is the falling OFF
in the imports of cleaned rice from 49,
1872 tons in 1S94-95 to o. 55 tons during
the same period in 1886, The low
prices at which homegrown rice has
been selling seem to have had the effect
of diminishing the imports Of compet-
ing rice to the extent of some $4,000
tons. Our annual consumtion OF rice,
domestic and foreign, is estimated at
about 100000 to 100000 tons. These
reduced imports would seem to indi-
cate a comparatively bare rice market
this summer and better prices than last
year when the new crop shall begin to
come in.

against 1t as we will, our hair becomes
ilabby, and when that is accompanied
by homely gown, the result is de-
plorable.
These remarks doubtless seem super
fetal, but is there one business woman
In ten who, when she buys her gowns
for the season, thinks of a rainy-day
costume?
Bicycling and tennis are slowly but
surely affecting cloudy-weather dress,

useful in these sports serve equally we'll

They should be worn under a short
walking skirt. Chevlot or serge, of any
color but blue-that turns green after
being wet a few times-is best for the
suit.
It's pretty idea to have a tam-o'-
shanter designed to wear with the suit

Over the costume should be worn a
long, sleeveless circular coat, or thin

Items About Dress.

Adellne wants to know on what day
of the week was December 26, 1879
How should girl of seventeen weal
her hair? How to trim short circular
cape? Will light ecru ribbon look vel
on a black chip hat? Answer: De-
cember 2G, 1879, came on Friday. A
girl of seventeen may wear her hair
in a rather loose knot at the back Of
her head or in braid tied with rib
bon, II she is small for her age and
looks young. A short circular cape
should be trimmed according to the ma
terial of which it is composed. A vel
vet cape may be trimmed with lace,
feathers, embroidery or passementerie,
a cloth cape may have embroidery,
galloon, braid or silk trimming. One
very pretty cape is braided about four
inches around the lower edge; another
is embroidered; a third is trimmed
with alternate rufTles of the cloth OF
which it is made and glace silk. Light
ecru ribbon will trim black chip hat
appropriately.

Notes.

ban-shaped brim of fine jets. The
crown is pulled chiffon. The trimming
is of very short ostrich tips curled into
rosette shape. These are Get around
the sides of the hat, and long plume
falls over the back.
A round hat of satin braid has a
moderately low crown and trimming
of at least ten loops of wide Dresden
ribbon set at one side and falling over
the crown. Three very full ostrich tips
are set at the other side of the crown
and fall toward the front.
Chatelaine belts Of gold and silver,
with numerous pretty but useless pend
ants, in the style of those worn fifteen

silver trinkets makes music for envious

But the new chatelaine bag made Of
various kinds of fancy leather is thing
for use as we'll as beauty. Bags of liz
ard skin and tan suede, with gold, silver
or aluminium ornaments, are especially
desirable. Some are fastened securely
to the belt and others are held by a
metal clasp.
To make ordinary cloth waterproof,
put half pound of sugar of lead in
pail of rain water, with half pound
of alum; stir at intervals until the wa
ter becomes clear, and then pour it off
into another pail. Put the cloth or gar
ments into it and let them stand
twenty-four hours. Then hang the
clothes up to dry without wringinG.
Garments treated thus can be worn in
the widest storm of wind and rain
without the wearer even getting damp.
The rain will hang in globules upon the
cloth, and cloth that is waterproof is
better and more healthful than rubber
goods.

asks what she can do to make present
able a light colorcd waist that has been

be used to conceal the silk that is soiled.
The material should be adapted to the
ground work, and much of its beauty
will depend upon the careful way in
which it is applied. If it is liked, black

the house. They rarely get anything
OF any value, assuredly not enough to
justify anyone stalking his life to save
the stolen articles. OF course, If he
should happen to capture a burglar hG

With a terrible cold in his head, and
his eyes heavy and sore, the editor sat
on broken chair, and earnestly, Bit
terly swore. A youth had dropped in
with poem, man was there with a
dun, and chap was there to tell him
how the paper ought to be run. An
irate subscriber had told him that his
paper was not fit to be read, while en-
other had carefully promised to punch
the editors head. The devil was calling
for copy, and the wind whistled in at
the door, and this with a few other
reasons, is why the editor swore. But
the angel took it to heaven, and record
ed the verdict there; "The jury finds
in the present case it was justifable
swear" And who can doubt it, in the
least, that when Gabriel shall sound
the trumpet the editor will have a place
right up in the center aisle.

JessIe's Philosophy.

Men who complain of their homes too
often overlook the fact that they them
selves are more or less responsible for
the atmosphere which pervades it..
Consideration for a wife is one Of the
sweetest flowers which husband can
grow and nourish in the home garden.

quets which he can bring home from
the florist. 1t is the little things in this
world that make life attractive, and it
is the little acts of courtesy and con-
sideration on the part of the husband
which deepens her love for him, height
ems her respect for other men, and
makes her daily and hourly grateful
to God, through whose infinite wisdom
her life and that of her husband we're
brought together Marriage is never a
failure in a home where consideration
fills the minds and lives of the hus-
band and wife. 1t Is a golden bond be-
tween them which brightens years, and
binds them together when they are alb
sent from one another.
Kind words are the music of the
world. They have power which seems
to be beyond natural causes. 1t seems
as if they could almost do what in
reality God alone can do-soften the
hard and angry hearts of men. No one
has ever been converted by sarcasm;
crushed, perhaps, if the sarcasm was
clever enough, but drawn nearer to
God, never.

shoot a burglar in his own house is
foolish. 1t is even more hazardous than
running ahead of teams on the street
Suppose one should tumble down. No
driver has such command over his
horses that he could stop them soon
enough to prevent an accident. 1t al
ways makes me nervous to see some
smarty go lodging under the horses
nose. Now, a burglar has nine out of
ten advantages over theman being bur-
glarized. The burglar is wide-awake,
on the alert for danger, has his means
of escape perfectly planned, and is
around for anything that may threaten
him or cut off his escape. The man
being burglarized is usually awakened
from sound sleep, if he awakes at
all. and is naturally in dazed condi-
ton. This is proven from the fact that
about three-fourths of the men thus
aroused, who shoot at burglars hit
some member of the household instead,
in two cases out of three, of the re-
naming fourth, are themselves hit by
the burglar. In other words, about one
out of every twelve who enter house
is shot at and rarely hit. The safest

Green's superb and beautifully trained
contralto voice, but to her remarkable
beauty, cultivation and charm of man
ner, and to the fact that although she
has resided in London since her mar
riage, both she and her husband are
Americans. Mrs. Green Ia a member
Of the old family Of Van der Veer and
was born in Brooklyn. Her voice as a
young girl gave great promise, and
after her marriage, when her husband
became the London manager Of large
American exporting firm, she went to
Paris and studied under Marchesi.
Her American birth and associations
made her at home in this country at
once upon her first appearance in con-
cert here last November After spend
ing several weeks in New York, where
her voice and beauty made her promi
nent, and the recipient Of unusual social
attention, she started on a tour Of eleven
weeks with Madame Albani through
Canada and the west From this tour
she returned early in April, and after a
short stay in New York returned to st,
Louis and Chicago, where she repeated
the successes she won earlier in the
year. Mrs Green's best work has been
done in the Messiah" which is also
her favorite work. She recently made
tour of New Zealand and Australia,
where she also achieved rare success.
Still young woman, Mrs. Green
would seem to have a brilliant career
before her. 1t is possible that she may

Mr.. Hoyts farces might not with
stand Schlegel analysis, nor could our
highest critical authorities give them
unqualified Endorsement as elevators Of
the stage. Before the great tribunal
OF the American public, however, their
vindication has been always triumph
ant. They have season runs in the
metropolis, and on the circuit they hll
the theaters year after year. They are
so essentially and unmixedly Ameri-
can that they would miss fire with for
eigners If their authorrmanager had
time to take them abroad, The latest
perfect example in their kind is "a
Black Sheep" still current at Mr..
Hoyt's Madison Square theater, where
it has been holding forth uproariously
for some months past. The dominant
character in this piece is Hot Stuff (Mr.
Otis Harlan), the spdrtive BLACK sheep"
of nice New York family, who wins
his sobriquet by an Arizona episode in
the first act. The rest of the play is
in the cohtrasted environment of New
York City, where Hot Stuff assumes
the ultra garb Of "the English as we see
them on Broadway" AS such he is
represented in the Photographic por-
trait which is reproduced. Mr.. Hoyt
has been exceptionally fortunate in his
choice of an interpreter for this role,
inasmuch as Mr.. Harlan's personal eX-
perience in real life is understood to
have been not unlike that which he por-
trays so inimitably on the stage. In
reai life many men know how to take
a drink at the bar, to carry on two
courtships simultaneously, or to sing
and dance. But to do all these things
as Mr.. Harlan does them in this play
requires a light-character comedian of
the first rank.
