AT the Opera House last Friday
night was a success. The cast of

were well sustained. 1t was a capital
performance and did credit to the
young Thespians who exhibited de-

and genius for "histrionics'' among

would be well for them to cultivate
their talent in the field Of legitimate

food for thought in their hours of re-

New Process " Blue Flame -
Oil Stoves.
Golden Anvil Ranges,
Pansy Stoves.

Nothing is so annoying in
business as being disappointed
in the arrival of goods that
are easily turned into money
and in a great many instances
prevented from filing orders
that have been placed in adj
vance. This has been our eX-
perience with the New Pro
cess "Blue Flame" Oil Stoves.
Owing to the immense sale of
these stoves in the United
States, the makers have been
unable to ship until now our
invoice ordered some months
ago. the same having arrived
on the last Australia.
Possibly the most positive
proof of the success of the
New Process Stove is the re-
suit obtained in baking. BY
the use of a simple device it is
impossible to turn the wick too
high, thus ensuring a steady,
perfect flame at all times. The
use of coal oil (kerosene) is so
general that every household
is provided with it; hence there
is no annoyance in the matter
of procuring fuel. The num-
Der "1O5" has three burners,
and No. "1O6" four burners,
otherwise, they are exact
counterparts Of each other.
We have a few Of the small
sizes in Golden Anvil Steel
Ranges, and a fine stock Of
Pansy Stoves in numbers 5,
6 and 7.

sometimes unfortunate, great writer

latter asked "Why, what is the matter

for the residence of japanese are to
be provided at each of the treaty ports
of China. The japanese Consuls are
to have full control over the roads and
police affairs of these settlements"
So far the Jap has followed in the
footsteps of the European. But the
Japanese. on the other hand, agree
that the Chinese may impose such tax
alton as they see fit on articles manu-
featured by Japanese subjects in
China, provided it is not higher than
that imposed on Chinese manufacture
ing the same articles. The Japanese
thus abandon for their own subjects
the benefit clause in the treaty of Shi-
monoseki, by which such goods were
to pay no higher inland duties than
imported goods now pay"
This renouncing of right under the
Smimonoseki treaty looks very pretty,
but what beautiful cause of quarrel
it leaves should it be at any time re-
quired. Everyone knows how corrupt
Chinese officials are, and none so better
than the japanese themselves, for the
japanese understand the Chinese as
no American or. European ever will
know him. 1t will not be in the ma
ture of the Chinese official to restrain
himself from imposing as heavy a tax
as he pleases, and then will come COM
plants, diplomatic requests, a gun
boat or two and a squeeze of the China
orange. 1t is really a beautiful little
scheme and shows how long-headed
the Japanese diplomatists are. If
their bodies are small their brains are
large.
The other move of the Japanese
comes from the British Trade Journ-
al" That papar says, in substance,
that the japanese Government has APP
pointed experts to STUDY the steel and
iron making processes in the United
States and Great Britain. In addition
to this their tour will take in the prin-
cipal iron and steel centers OF France,
Belgium, Germany, Austria and Swed-
en-. Russia is not mentioned, but the
iron centers of Russia are worth
studying.
On the return of the commissioners,
their report will decide the japanese
Government as to what is the best
plant and what are the best processes
for the manufacture of steel and iron
on large scale in Japan, using Jap
anese coal and iron ore. That they
are ready to go in on large scale is
evidenced by he fact that the Jap
anese Government has at its disposal
50 100000 voted for the establishment
of such works near Shimonoseki.
The energy and push of Japan are to
be admired but the Anglo Saxon race
on the borders of the Pacific cannot
afford to be idle. Japan is looking
abroad for her expansion. The United
States still keeps looking within. 1t
may, indeed, be a case of the giant and
| the dwarf, but the dwarf is very ac-
/ tive. Looking at the two cases cited
above, looking at the mass of Japan
csc constantly coming to these islands,
against whose advent it is impossible,
by treaty, for our Government to pro-
test 1T would be wise for the United
States to make the first step forward
and, by grasping the central position
in the Pacific, place herself now where
eventually Japan will be in the future.
| The Annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands will some of these days be
vital to American trade.

The RICycIe Face.

1t has been demonstrated recently
that the screwed-up condition of the
countenance known as the bicycle
face" is not at all the result of bicycling
particularly, but is induced by any vio-
lent demand on the muscles. An ar
ticle on The muscular contraction of the
face, published by DR.. A. Fournier, in
La Nature, illustrates this fact by pre-
senting picture Sf young man in the
act of jumping a hurdle. During the
jump" the doctor says, "the entire
body leaves the ground, and for the time
being floats through the air like pro-
jectile. The effort of giving the i'm
pulse provokcs a contraction of the
muscles of the entire body; the trunk
and the eXtremities of the body form at
the moment of leaving the ground but
one rigid unit. The picture shows the
body at that moment, and it repro
duces the full effort and the complete
contraction. AS the jump was rather
high, the violence of the effort is well
accentuated in the jumpers expression.
He looks as if in great distress and as
if he was about to break into tears."-

A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
By irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our nancial and in
dustral woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out q
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be OF immense service III uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
