NOTES OF THE PLAY.

Too much praise cannot be given Prof. Mahler for the success If the entertain ments. He devoted much of his valua- ble time to the training of the young peo- pie in the cast and spe cialties and it was evidently a S gratifying to him that the performances were successful in their entirety as to the most ardent admirers present. As a manager he has proven his ability and he deserves the highest encomiums of every one interested in the welfare of the Birmingham Carnival society as we'll as the city of Birming-. ham.

EQUALLY AS GREAT
Was the Matinee Performance of Youth and old Age" as Was
 Its Predecessor.

O'Briens opera house was the. scene of a gay assemblage yesterday afternoon. the occasion being the matinee perform ance of Youth and Old Age" for the benefit of the Carnival Society.
 The performance was much better than the one of the night before and the actors and actresses are deserving of additional praise.
 The prologue was especially interest," ing. the following young people being in the cast:
 Reuben ..... .. ..........M Merlin Herzfeld Cynthia ..... ...... ....... Marie Hudgins Silas ....... ........ ..Claudia Bardman Marie ......s. .........t.. ...ElolSs Terry Joshua ...t. ............ .'.....Hd dIR cai D0rcus ........ ....... .'....L .Lucllle i1dii1 PflselHa .,.... ..... -, Mlihe bdIiuinslli Eben. ........ =. ....

 Each of the youngsters vied with the other in speaking their lines and dancing the minuet and all are to be compl- mented.
 Reuben, Silas ard Joshua, the second being represented by a girl, were deeid- edly clever and their associates fully as good.
 The pictures of expression were by far better than at first and the beautiful mafdens in snowy white, made beauti- fu1 pictures The song Sweetheart, the Time Wil Come" by Miss Hattie Tut wiler and Kathleen Mavourneen" by Miss Aileen Gotten. were gems of vocal iZation.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

1t is estimated that the water of the
whole ocean contains in solution over
100000 tons of pure silver.
On the summit of Ben Lomond ale
the smallest trees in Great Britain.
They are dwarf willows, and when ma
ture are only about two inches in
height.
In the fiords of the Norway coasts
the clearness of the water is wonderful.
At depth of 30 fathoms objects the
size of silver dollar may be clearly
seen.
The average distance of the great
planet Jupiter from the sun is 4s2, 000,-
900 miles. The course which he follows
is therefore rather more than five times
as great in diameter as is the path pur-
sued by the earth.
Knowing the average diameter of
Jupiter, as well as that Of the earth,
it can be shown by little calculation
that so far as bulk is concerned, not
fewer than 1880 globes, each as large
as the earth, could be rolled together
into one to form single globe as big
as Jupiter.
Almost all plants sleep at night,
though in the plant world there are
owls and bats that exhibit most life and
animation after the sun goes down.
The Nicotina affinis, variety of the
tobacco plant, the night blooming
cereus and many others are examples
of night life in the world.
The teodolites used at the Blue Hills
Meteorological observatory for meas
uriDg clouds were recently turned upon
flock of ducks that were flying over.
The birds were found to be at height
of 95s feet above the lower station in
the Neponset valley, and they were fly
ing at the rate of 47.S miles an hour.
We now know the mass of the planet
Jupiter, certainly to within the hun
dredth part, and probably to within the
thousandth of it's total amount. 1t
seems useless for our purpose to ex-
press this weiSht in billions of tons. 1t
will suffice If we compare the weight Of
Jupiter with the weight of the earth.
The result is that we find Jupiter
weighs as much as $40 bodies would do
II each of them had the same mass as
the earth

sYLPHLIKE EFFECTS.
Some Things That the Stout Should Al
ways Avoid.

Some Things That the Stout Should Al
ways Avoid.
Ii you are stout, avoid checks as you
would avoid the plague. If you are
stout do not let the most seductive bar
gain in stripes, the most persuasive
orator among modistes, induce you to
wear gown with horizontal lines. On
these two commandments hang at least
half your hopes of beauty.
If you are stout shun the primary
colors. Nothing makes a woman of
portly proportions look quite so gigan-
tic, quite so hopelessly heating as reds,
clear violets and orange hues. There
are colors which can be used effectively,
only in small quantities. Let white and
cream color severely alone. They may
make you look statuesque, but statues
require gallery for background, and
are out of place in a modest home.
Unless you are wise woman, as well
as stout one, you will occasionally fall
into the error of thinking that strong
lacing strings are your best friends, and
that the more tightly you can grid your
self the more sylphlike you will appear.
1t is a delusion. Tight-ftting gowns
merely accentuate your defects.
You begin to suggest smotherings,
strangulations and other unpleasant
conditions. Superabundance of curves
may be hidden beneath kindly folds and
beneficient fiuffiness. They are only
made the more conspicuous by attempts
to reduce them by main force and corset
steels.
The corset of the stout woman, by the
way, is something to which she should
give great attention. Only the Glow"
ones should be worn. High ones, which
crowd the bust into the neck so that
chin and chest meet, are the ones to
which most stout women fly with a
fatuous blindness.
Skirt trimmings, which take from the
apparent height, are also to be avoided
Broad belts, which decrease the effect
of length, are also among the tabooed
articles. In fact, the woman blessed or
cursed with "embonpoint" must be eX-
ceedingly wary in the matter Of belts
She must, whenever it is possible, wear
those of the same color as her bodice or
her skirt. The former adds to her waist
length and the latter to her length of
limb. Belts which are slightly curved
over the hips and pointed in the back
and front are among those which she
can wear with excellent effect.
The high collar should be another of
the stout woman's aversions. She fire.
quently has a pretty neck as one of the
small compensations granted by Provi-
dence for an ugly figure, but the high
collar hides and spoils it. The fichu
was particularly intended for her; so
were the falling over lace frill and the
rather narrow ribbon bands. Fluffy
feather and lace boas belong to her only
when they are long and when instead of
coming under the chin they fall in long
lines down the front of the gown On
either side.
In short, the stout woman's sartorial
salvation lies in conscientious adj
herence to the 'long line" principle.
Whether they are stripes woven in the
material or folds laid by the dressmaker,
they are her only means of giving the
effect of graceful height.-St. Louis Re-
public.

ONE OF BILL NYE'S TALES.
The True and Touching Story of Lara
mic Goat in a Frame.

mic Goat in Frame.
Laramie has seal-brown goat with
iron-gray chin whiskers and breath
like new-mown hay, wrote Bill Nye.
He has not had as hard a winter as
the majority of stock on the Rocky
mountains, because he is of domestic
turn of mind and tries to make man
his friend. Though social in his nature
he never intrudes himself on people
after they have intimated with a shot
gun that they are weary of him.
When the world seems cold and dark
to him and everybody turns coldly
away from him he does not steal away
by himself and die of corroding grief.
He just lies down on the sidewalk in
tive fragrance of which he is the sole
proprietor.
One day just as he had eaten his
midday meal of bootheels and cold
sliced atmosphere and kerosene barrel
slaves he saw a man going along the
street with large looking-glass under
his arm.
The goat watched the man and saw
him set the mirror down by gate and
go inside the house after some more
things that he was moving. Then the
goat stammered with his tail few
times and went up to see if he could
eat the mirror.
When he got pretty close to it he saw
a hungry-looking goat apparently COM
ing toward him, so he backed off few
yards and went for him. There was
loud crash and when the man came
out he saw full-length portrait of a
goat, with heavy black walnut frame
around it, going down the street with
a great deal of apparent relish.
Then the man said something derog-
atory about the goat, and seemed Of
Tended about something.
Goats are not timid in their nature,
and are easily domesticated.
There are two kinds of goats-the
cashmere goat and the plain goat. The
former is worked up into cashmere
shawls and cashmere bouquet. The lat
ter is not.
The cashmere bouquet of commerce
is not made of the common goat. 1t is
a good thing that it is not.
A goat that has always been treated
with uniform kindness and never be-
trayed may be taught to eat out of the
hand. Also out of the flour barrel or
the ice cream freezer.-Utica Observer.

countless cures among prominent and famous
personages whom everybody knows, as well as
among the common people everywhere, that

and that no other remedy in the world ever
made So many cures, such wonderful restor-
atoms to health as DIR. Greene's Nervura blood

Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
should be used now-first, because it is the

A WALTONlAN TALE.
Duck Seeks Aid to Rescue Her Mate from
Box Trap.

q BOX Trap.
Some time ago was up in Wisconsin
hunting and fishing with a party of
as jolly fellows as you would want TO
be with. Game and fish were plenty,
and each one in the party enjoyed him
self in the way he desired, with his
rifle, fowling piece or tackle. When
evening came each one had new eX-
perience to relate-some daring adj
venture to tell his companions around
the camp fire. The -vieing with each
other, and the guying each author re-
ceived, when the story was beyond
probability, was enough to tax the wits
of our best story-telier in his next en-
deavor, that he might keep pace with
the rest. l cannot say that everything
that was told around that camp fire
during our three weeks stay would
stand the test of the usual oath admin
istered to witnesses in court, yet I'M
der all circumstances each member of
our party banked ON his honor and
integrity, and at times was heroic in
his own defense. We were simply

out in those Wisconsin wild woods.
The story that 1 am about to relate
was told for the truth, yet no one was
an eyewitness, and hence l can only
vouch for ii by telling you that told
it, and when you understand the Ego
of this tale it will present itself forci-
bly, to your doubling minds as ''the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but

We have all read stories time and
again of the instinct of animals in 10
nestle life, but 1 have never read any
thing like what l have to relate, and
hence it may serve to advance the
knowledge already acquired in this di-
rection.
1 left camp early one morning with
tackle in hand to try my Waltonian
skill in one of the little streams that
emptied its waters into the lake, on the
shores of which we had pitched our
tents. I had also taken my fowling
piece along for any emergency that
might arise. On reaching desirable
place where my piscatorial art could be
used, as l thought, to the best advan-
tage, threw out my lines, and seated
myself in a convenient place to await
"bite." After some patient waiting
without even as much as "nibble'' to
remunerate my loss of time, l was at
tracted by a strange noise emanating

1t is stated IN the Boston Post that
the inventor Of the whistling buoy,

first idea of the device from seeing a
small boy pushing an ordinary tin
horn mouth downward into hogshead
OF water. The air thus compressed was
forced rapidly through the small end,
with whistling noise, and that same
principle is now embodied in all the APP
