Hyperion 0heater,

"The Walking Delegate" new com ic opera, which had had an extended run in Boston, was presented last night to large audience. The libretto is excellent and would carry a much weaker opera musically to fair success. However, in the idea of "The Delegate" we get blending of two distinct types of play that is new and interesting. The music is smooth and even, and the melodies follow each other without jar ring. There are a few airs that are likely to become popular, notably "To Arbitrate" and "The Turtle Dove' songs, and the orchestration and ar engagement of choruses are excellent. There is little, however, that will make lasting place for itself in the mind of the public, and at times it degener- ates into decided "reminiscences.
 The opera was adequately staged, al- though not lavishly and the ballet in the third act was Very effective. Oscar Girard made a cap al delegate, and while he has the comedian's usual lack of voice, he never descends to horseplay and reads his lines with appreciation of their humor, and his facial expression is wonderful. Nicholas Burnham, as the German consul, could not have been improved upon, as he was natural and looked his part perfectly. Christie Mac Donald. as WooMee, was very pretty and made the hit of the piece. Her voice is a clear, pure soprano and she sings with intelligence and plenty of spirit. She was especially good in the Turtle Dove" song in the second act, and received two encores.
 The company was excellent and the chorus was well drilled and sang well together, save, perhaps, in the opening chorus.
 'rhe Walking Delegate' will be re- peated this evening.

THE WHEELS OF HEALTH.

There is no better exercise for young woman in thoroughly good health than bicycling On the contrary, if she suffers from weakness or disease of the distinctly feminine organs, if she rides, at all such exercise should be very sparingly indrlged in. Women are peculiarly constituted and their general health is peculiarly dependent upon the health of the specially feminine organism.
 It is the health of these delicate and ifn- portant parts that makes the wheels of general health go round" Their strength and vigor are as important to woman as handspring to watch, or sprocket and chain to bicycle. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for delicate women. 1t makes them strong where they most need strength. Taken during the Interesting interval" it ban ishes the usual squeaInishness and makes baby's admission to the world easy and all most painless. 1t fits woman for indoor work and outdoor sports.

City and the Klondike country in gen. eral will not be very difficult or ex- tensive undertaking, in the opinion of Collingwood Schrieber of Ottawa, who is now in this city. He arrived yester- day with party of Ottawa people, in cluding E. Newcomb, deputy minister of justice. In discussing the building of road to Dawson, MT. Schrieber says:
 1.-TWO surveys are now being made from different points on the Canadian Pacific. The latter company is mak- ing one of the surveys, and the govern-, ment is making the other. It will be necessary to build only ninety miles of railroad to make good rail and water route from the Canadian Pacific line to Dawson City. The railroad can be operated the year round, but dur ing the winter months the water route will not be open for steamboats."

You Can Marry That Person.

You can marry with reasonable as surance the person who uses Pearlo- dento. That person is cleanly.
 When one is particular about the care of his teeth it is reasonably certain he Is refined by nature, and, after all, re- hnement counts in the long run.
 We say that Pearlo-dento and refine ment go together because we know that those whose teeth are not clean are not refined. and they would not appreciate Pearlo-dento. It is only those who really want to take proper care of their teeth that We care anything about. To such We advise reading our circular in the Violet boxes containing Pearlo- dento. They will learn what all refined persons are glad to know.

that country specimens of tea seeds and young
plaAts These arrived in good condition., and in
August. 1859 over fifty thousand fine tea plants
were growing in the United States Propagating
Garden, AT Washington. In the Agricultural Re
port for that year considerable space was de-
voted TO tea with reasons why il could be raised
successfully in America, and in the 1860 report
there was "A long article by Spencer Ronsall. Of
Philadelphia. the title OF which ran thus:
