At the Metropolitan Theater tonight
In Gay New York" The story has
gained circulation that the seats have
all been sold for this entertainment.
Manager Henry says this is untrue;
there has been fine sale, but he has
plenty Of choice seats still left So
much has been said of this extrava-
ganza, satire, comedy and musical play
that really not much more remains to
be added. The company is sixty-seven
strong and brings so much scenery
that it Will take all day to mount it on
the Metropolitan stage, hence there can
be no matinee performance. The piece
Will be given here in all fullness with
no cutting whatever. The company is
in no hurry as it does not leave the city
until tomorrow. The piece is in the
nature Of a review, a species Of stage

icleS of new sentimental journey.
Johnny Brown and his bride Sally, rus
tics of Huckleberry Center, Me, leave
their village home for a honeymoon
trip to gay Gotham. Johnny brings
with him $1,000. The Marrnalade Sis
ters who as the Smith girls, were form
er associates of the bride in her rural
home disseminate the news of the COM
ing Of the pair. and incidentally exag-
gerate the contents of Johnny's purse.
They are given a rafting reception as
they emerge from the Grand Central
depot, and from that moment they are
wildly, strictly and universally in the
big city's push" In the society OF
bunco steerers. gold brick operators,
the members of a stranded theatrical
organization, and every kind of fortune
hunter the $1,000 rapidly melts, but in
the process of evaporation Johnny and
his bride are given a rapid sprint for
their coin.

Lucky Plants.

In some parts of the world, one kind
Of aster is in high repute as a sort Of
divining rod. A forked branch is cut
off with various superstitious ceremo-
MES. and the two twigs are taken in the
hands ard firmly held with the point in
q horizontal position. The holder
walks over the ground, and, according
to the popular belief, when immediate
ly over a spring, the point, in spite Of
all efforts to the contrary, will turn
directly downward, thus indicating the
presence of water. In other regions
the hazel is used for the same purpose
and is supposed also to indicate, in min
eral countries, the presence Of veins of
silver or gold. Both hazel and aster
are believed, in some mountain districts
of Germany, to be powerful in protect
ing men from lightning, and sprigs Of
these plants are often seen hung over .
door to preserve the house from thun-
derbolts. The ancients used the lau-
rel for the same purpose, and Augustus
is said to have put on a laurel crown
whenever a thunderstorm came up.
The lily, in some Catholic countries, is
considered a lucky flower, it being the
emblem of the Virgin Mary, who cared
for it and all who loved it. while the
marigold is also lucky, for it is likewise
consecrated to her. The bleeding heart
sprang from a drop of blood wrung
from her by the agony of witnessing
the death of her son, and is therefore
also considered a very lucky flower.
In England, the mistletoe has beenrev-
erenced from the days of the Druids,
but is now considered as lucky for low
ers, the kissing at Christmas time be-
ing done under its branches when sus-
pended in the hall. Johns wort is luck
if it be gathered before dawn on st.
Johns Day: at any other time it has
no power to command good fortune.
The poppy and tuberose are lucky for
the living, because they are loved by
the dead, but oddly enough, the i'm
mortelle is unlucky for the same rea-
son, the difference being caused by
some legend or superstition which has
been forgotten. There is a French SUI
perstition that the spirits of the dead
revisit their graves and are pleased to
see them crowned with immortelles,
and these and the myrtle, which is
sacred to love, are more frequently
seen on graves in France than any other
plants or flowers.
