The recital by Miss Katharine Oliver
at the music rooms Of Milligan. Wilkin &

OF the listeners. Pathos, humor, Wit,

had her audience al one minute laughing
heartily and almost at the next minute
brought them 10 the verge of tears. Her
recital of Mrs. McFaddeu's comment on
the long sermons of her pastor caused
much laughter. "Dr. McClure's Srug-

"MIKADO" PRODUCED

The production Of Gilbert and Sulli-
vans popular comic opera, The
Mikado." at Mt. de Chantal Academy,
last night. was artistic in the highest
degree. 1t was given as a feature Of
the silver jubilee celebration Of Sister
Angela last week, and repeated last
evening for the entertainment OF
friends and patrons of the institution.
The opera was exceptionally well cast,
and the work of the principals, many Oh
whom were Wheeling young ladies, was
such as to reflect credit upon them
selves as well as the institution. Tn
music was rendered in the faultless
manner which results from natural
ability. backed up by intelligent direc-
ton and painstaking efforts. A special
train over the B, & o. conveyed the
guests from this city and returned al
ter the performance.

No one who saw The Fast Mail"
could believe it to be the first work OF a
youthful dramatist. 1t was with equal
difficulty that The Tornado could be
regarded as his second effort. Both
had their first production on the stage
at Havlins, and both representations
brought out the author, Lincoln J. Car
ter, in response TO enthusiastic and re-
peated calls. The play will be a ire
mendous success. The scenes other
than the first include a shipwreck, a
water scene, a dissecting room and 9th
er matters of equal interest, and the
company is thoroughly trained and eff
cient.-Chicago Mail The Tornado

Hands Across the Sea" was seen for
the first time in this city at the Opera
House last night. The audience was
small. but left the theatre well pleased
with the production. 1t is one of the
strongest dramas which have come
from the pen of Mr.. Petit. The story
is of absorbing interest The scenes
take place in England, France, on the
hiel seas. and in Australia. The stu
atoms are intensely dramatic, and the
climaXes strong. The piece is well
staged. and enacted by a stronger
company than is usually found in mel
odramas of this class Miss Ellerson
in the role of "Lillian" was really ex-
cellent. Mr. Carlton Wells as Jack
Dudley" was a manly and dignified
hero. and made the most Of his oppor-
tunities. The principals received a
curtain call at the end of the fourth
act. Hands Across the Sea will be
repeated at the matinee and again to-
night, and deserves to be greeted by
larger audiences.

When to Eat the Hearty Meal.

A man of science who gives a society
woman pepsin tablets at IS call says
that call, pepsin, money and necessity for
any of them would be saved if women
and men-would learn to eat properly.
He is himself an epicure and eats rich
yiands, but he knows how these are pre-
pared and can prepare them himself on
occasion, and he selects the proper time to
eat them He considers it nothing less
than suicidal for the brain worker, for
instance, to eat hearty lunch. People
who are much in the open air and who ex
srcise freely can eat about what they
please, SO that they satisfy their hunger at
stated periods and are punctual about It,.
But he thinks it is all but criminal for u
woman who has to use her brain and who
must be on the alert with vigorous men
tality to divert the blood from her brain
where it is most needed, to the stomach,
by setting it to work OH u promiscuous lot
of food. He Is of the opinion that the
brain worker should eat most heartily aft
or the days work is done. Breakfast may
be moderately hearty, or quite hearty, If
taken an hour or more before beginning
work. Lunch, however, should be exceed,
ingly light, just little to sustain nature
till dinner time-a cup of beef tea and a
cracker or two, fruit of some kind or cup
of cocoa Dinner may be what you please

the slightest disorder of the organs distinct

THE ARCHER.

When May has come and all around
The dandelons dot the ground,
Then out into the woods ! go
And take my arrows and my bow.
OF hickory my bow is made
Deep in darksome forest glade
Cut from sapling slim and tall.
And feathered are my arrows all.
And sometimes | am Robin Hood,
That olden archer brave and good
And sometimes l m an Indian sly,
Who waits to shoot the passersby.
So up and down the woods | roam
Till sunset bids me hurry home
Before the pathway through the glen
Is peopled by the shadow men.
And, when at night my bow, unstrung
Is close beside my culver hung,
To bed l slip and slumber well
And dream that / am William Tell.
Clinton Scollard in New York Tribune.
