IN A LONDON THEATER.


A First Night as Seen by an Artist
Every One in Evening Dress.
A London audience is brilliant. Every
one is in evening dress and the audience
is often more entertaining than the
play, says Scribner's. This is espe-
cially true on the first night. AT such
times the pit is watched most anxiously
by the management, as the success of
the piece generally depends on its YER
dict. 1t has often occurred to me when
l have seen people on a storm night
forming a line on the pavement out
side the pit entrance, taking it all seri-
ously enough to stand there for hours
before the doors were opened, that by
letting them inside the management
might improve their spirits and they
in their turn might be more gentle.
And it has also occurred to me when
I have seen stout man standing in
the aisle fumbling for a sixpence or a
shilling in pockets that probably only
contain q bank note and gold piece
that the management might further
improve the spirits of its audience by
doing away with women ushers and by
selling the programme at the same
time it sells the seat, for it is hardly
fair to the first act of play to make
it overcome the fretfulness caused by
annoying attendants before it can hope
to amrse. But the second act is sure
to have a fair start and if the play is
good from there on it will have no rea-
son to complain of it's audience.

ADVANCED DIAGNOSIS.
Denver Physician Suggests n New
Treatment for Tuberculosis.

Denver Physician Suggests New
Treatment for Tuberculosis.
DR.. A. Mansfield Holmes, of Denver,
delivered very interesting address at
the pan-American medical congress. in
which he spoke of the possibilities of
diagnosing tuberculosis in a stage early
enough to permit a cure being effected
"In the so-caled active stage of tuber-
culosis there are disintegrating and
wasting of tissues.
"If we trace tuberculosis backward
from the stage of visible disintegration,
we shall sooner or later reach a period
in its development in which the evil
dence of disintegration disappears from
the patient. In the active stage of the
disease we were studying the patient.
Now we are studying his leucocytes Tor
white corpuscles)." DR.. Mansfield pre-
pares the blood films, fixes, stains,
mounts and studies them. The finger
of the patient is cleaned antiseptically
and pricked with a sterilized needle.
The drop of blood should be used i'm
mediately, drop for each film. Cell It's
sues, as well as almost all other animal
tissues, possess great affinity for stains.
By long study, the shade that a stain
ing solution communicates to cell it's
sues in a normal state may be fixed in
ones mind. Then abnormal conditions
may be easily recognized by varia-
ton in the staining reaction of these
tissues. The doctors careful study of
100 tuberculous cases in all stages of
the disease shows that the law that
causes disintegration in tuberculous
patient brings about the same process
at an earlier date in tuberculous leu
cocytes. He believes it possible to esti-
mate the degre of tuberculous condi-
ton, and also of recuperative power;
that diagnosis based upon the funda-
mental principles of biology" may be
made

A Profitable Garden Crop.

Spinach is an important crop in our
market gardens and one of the most
hsily managed of vegetables, requiring
but little culture, and may be had fit
for use the entire season. The main
crop is sown in August or September
for spring use, and, although ex-
remedy hard, requires to be protected
oy light covering Of hay or straw
during the winter. For summer use
It may be sown at intervals of two or
three weeks, from April to August.
Spinach is best developed and most
lender and succulent when grown in
hch soil.

KITTIE FOR A LIVE DOLLIE.
A Little Girl Travellers Queer Conn
paniOn.

A little girl IL years old recently
Travelled all the way from Wichita,
Kan, to Rochester, n. Y, with no COM
panion but her kitten. She was allowed
to have the pet in her lap, although it is
against the rules of railroad companies
to allow animals in the passenger coach.
Perhaps this may have been due partial
~ to the fact that the kitten was dressed
like folks" in clothes. The cat was
as handsomely attired as favorite doll
and infinitely more amusing. Her little
dress did not seem novelty to her, and
the little waist with bishop sleeves and
lace at the ankles. or more properly
wrists, was dainty, while handsome
lace baby cap completed the most
fetching toilet.
The little girl apologized for the state
of l1ittie's clothing, as she said she had
but one change out of her trunk But
kittie had spent the most of her journey
on her mistress lap or on the velvet
car seat and was not in the least be-
draggled. The little girl said she did
not care for dolls, because they weren't
alive, and kittie could play with her;
besides. kittie did not object to be-
ing dressed and undressed, so she had
all the pleasure of playing doll with
live dollie.

a DOG THAT CAN TEST METALS.

silver TIP Knows Good Money from
Bad, Every Time.
No bank teller in Iowa has a truer
instinct for real, genuine cart-wheel
lilver dollars than has a Rock Rapids
dog called Silver Tip, says the Chicago
TiInes-Herald. Silver Tip is tan-colored
and weighs about ten pounds. All his
two years of life he has been the prop
erty of Landlord Barber, of the Lyon
hotel, at Rock Rapids, but it is only
within the last year that his power of
immediate insight into the nature of
metals has become known to his owner.
The way Tip manifests his powers,
as his owner puts it, is as follows: If
one takes pile of coins the size of an
American dOllar-say trade dollar a
Mexican dollar, fve-franc piece and
some counterfeit dollars-and puts one
genuine dollar piece in the center of
the pile, Tip will rummage around
among them for an instant and then
snatch the good coin and proceed to
take care of it in approved dog fashion
to an accompaniment of growls and
bites. Or if one rolls a coin along the
floor Tip can tell every time whether
it is good stuff to be chased.
Tip never makes mistake, and there
isn't a bit of doubt about his powers.
He has been tested by Chicago bust
ness men and by committees of Iowa
scientists. He gets no human help in
his work. The good coin is not marked
in any peculiar way for his benefit.
nor is it scented. Anyone can use his
own coin in the experiment. Nor does
Tips powers depend on signs from his
master. The latter leaves the room
without detracting from the dogs abil-
ity in the least.
Mr. Barber has refused all offers for
the purchase of Tip.

Monthly Three of these were false, one

not verified, but probably false. All
these rellte to subjects in my thoughts
and were probably suggested by circum-
stances. Four were true, of which one
might have been suggested by circum-
stances. The other three were not only
true and not apparently suggested by
circumstances but were among the most
agitating experiences of my life. One
drove me in spite of the resistance of
my reason to take a journey which
seemed the act of a lunatic and proved
the wisest thing l could do. Another

possible. I do not, of course, quote
these few experiences as proving the
existence of teiepathy, but merely as
illustrating what mean by apparent
ly telepathic phenomena"
The vast majority of apparently SUI
pernormal phenomena are susceptible
of a telepathic explanation, but in a
few cases one is driven to other concep-
tons. Sometimes knowledge is shown
of events not known TO anyone, and at
other times a percipient will seem to
"see" things at distance. or to become
aware of events remote in time.
