What a great pity It Is. to be sure.
that so many plnywrights are fixed in
their opinions that certain appeals must
be made to the groundlings in order to
produce q successful pay. There must
! De coarseness or profanity, or the
! Fay Will not be q success many Of them
think. and yet. 1t is just the reverse.
They however hold to their opinion. and
as consequence many ladies do not
dare TO go to the theatres. There is no
question that the objectionable features
! In plays have kept more people away
from rlayhouseS than 1lave been attract
ed thither. There arc plays which one
is sometimes made better by seeing
them. There are others, simply pieces
OF delicious absurdities-purc fun, which
leaves no stain-and those are the plays
which should be encouraged Among
the former is '.nhc Old Homestead"
Young and old may see this play with
perfect safety-with no fear Of having
their sensiblitics offended.
The people who mainly support the
theatres seek them for pleasure. and
they find the purest plays the most sat
isfactory. There should always he the
pleasure giving element in them. to be
sure, but there is no need to introduce
coarseness in order 10 make them a sue
cess, as many piaywrights seem 10 be-
lieve. The playwright who resorts to
coaracness with the hope of winning APP
piausc makes a mistake, and convicts
himself of L lack OF capacity TO do better
work.

drink. says that the official reports show
that our population of II 100000 In 1896
consumed 7l,051,S77 gallons Of spirits as
against $3.50, COO consumed in 1887. AS
about 100000 gallons of spirits are
annually used in manurac tures, the
quantity actually used as a beverage is
about 60.000,000 gallons Bar-rooms
make sixty drinks out OF a gallon. and
get At the lowest calculation about ST.. 80

was. therefore, 500. 0O0, 900 as against

was l0l 100000 gallons. The Government
lost ST., 900, 900 of revenue by the decreased
consumption. Beer is more largely con-
sumed now than formerly. The cor
sumption per citizen twenty years ago
was hut six and n half gallons, as
against fifteen gallons IA 1896. The total
consumption Of beer In 1896 was ESQ
626,165 gallons, on which the Government

The result thus far Of the medical

~ facetious writer in the New York
Press referring to the fact that several
Northern girls arc spending the season
IN Aiken, 5. G., in short skirts and yell
low lesgins, the regulation bicycling and
golfinS costume, tells the readers Of that
Journal that because Of the manner Of
their dress, "the native maidens, who
sweep the streets daily with The hens of
their garments, are Mortified hey ond de-
scrIption." Flc says, however, that
Southern girls are quick to learn, and
addS: Having overcome the first shock
the bellies of Aiken will hereafter wear
shorter skirts and longer laggins than
their Northern sisters"
No doubt the sportive writer in the
Press intended this as left-handed
compliment 70 the young ladies CT Aiken,
but see how beautifully the Charleston
News and Courier gets back" at him
and the aforesaid Northcrners VINO have
invaded the town OF Aiken with their
new ideas of dress. Ii says:
1T Is evident that the New York
Press does not know anything about
the bellies of Aiken. They are not
given. In the first place. to initiating
Inc WICKED ways or me world, and
we are told, by the Aiken county
member Of our staff, who claims to
speak with some knowledge Of the
subject that even If they should de-
termine upon making an exhibition
OF their supports, the bellies would
not find II necessary to resort to
the artificial reinforcement of yellow

of their Northern sisters it is q mat

and particularly to tho Southern
young men. why tho Northern sisters
should ever risk themselves in short
