The Courtenay-M Morgan company gave
eminent satisfaction at the Opera House
last evening, when they gave their second
performance and presented the re ,lstic
drama entitled Felicia, or Mother and
Son" TO an appreciative audience.
The play is one OF historic origin and
dates back to the sixteenth century.
The costuming for an entertainment OF
this kind was, OF necessity, very fine and
historically correct in every particular.
The different characters in the play
we're all well taken and reflected credit on
all the performers alike.
Between the acts many pleasing spe-
cialties were introduced.
The company will play at the Opera
House every night this week and will also
give an entertainment for school children
on Saturday afternoon. A change of
play will be made nightly and something
entirely new is promised at every enter
tainment.
Everyone who attends il given ticket
which gives the holder q chance on the
pig which will be given away TO the luck
person at the conclusion OF the perform
ance Saturday evening.

WOMAN AND HOME.
QUEEN NATALIE's NECK.

Its Beauty and Symmetry Is the Talk of
 All Europe.
 The most beautiful queen of Europe is Natalie of Servia, and her greatest beauty is her neck. The world has just been let into the secret of the method which has largely enabled her to de- velop this charming feature.
 The queen takes frequent and regular exercise with Q heavy pitcher on her head. The result of this is to straight en and strengthen the neck and to give 1t the form which the highest standard of female beauty requires. Not only does the exercise add to present beauty, but it arrests .he ruvages which time makes more quickly in the female neck than in any other place.
 Natalie is woman whose career has perhaps been more exciting and pie turesque than that of any living oc- cupant of European throne Her beauty is of an order that is in keeping with the vigor of her character. Neither amiability nor feminine gentle ness enters into the latter to noticc- able degree.
 Natalie is now living in the dignity proper to the rank of a queen-dowager, while her husband has pension, but is not allowed to enter his own country. He spends his money as soon as he gets it in drink and riotous living. The rest of the quarter he lives by begging, bor- rowing, sponging and playing cards. The queen, on the other hand, engages in the much more laudable and whole some employment of preserving her neck and shoulders.
 If you could obtain admission to the grounds of the queens residence near Belgrade, at about eight o'clock in the morning, you would see her majesty taking brisk walk, with her pitcher on her shapely head. She is accompanied by dame d'honneur, who is not herself an expert in the art of pitcher carrying.
 Queen Natalie has very abundant black hair and rich coloring. She is a very finely developed woman. Her fig- ure is very strong and erect and her car. riage is perfect, for her favorite exer- else tends to develop the latter quality as we'll as to beautify the neck and shoul- ders. These are adorable and beyond all criticism. She takes care to dress in way to show these to the best ad- vantage.
 From chin to bust Queen Natalie's flesh has the firmness of marble; al- though, unlike that substance. it is full

THE RIVER OF TIME.

There's river that always is flowing; It is bearing your life-boat and mine, On It's mystic and fathomless bosom. And we call 1t the River of Time. And 1t often flows stilly and quiet.
 As 1t windeth through blossom-lined
 ways,
 And we gather life's roses and lilies. In the beautiful sunshiny days. 1t is then. with our loved ones around us. That we list to the songs of the birds And our hearts gladly echo the singing. To the music of each loving word. But in some spots the waters grow troubled. For deep whirlpools and rapids are there, And 'tis many fair vessels that founder On the sharp. jagged rocks of despair. Ard there sometimes come storms and
 thick darkness.
 When we sorrow. and shiver. and moan, And we find when the daylight Is breaking, We are drifting. bereft and alone. On, the mystic and fathomless river. That is bearing your life-boat and mine, Oh, the peaceful, the storm haunted river. That we know as the River of Time! There's no man e'er beheld its beginning. Nor can tell when its ending shall be, Hut we know that twill bear us on and on, Till we enter Eternity's sea. -Lottie c. Mosey. in Farm. Field and Fire

of life and blood. Her head is placed or her shoulders after the manner of Venus of Milo. There are no protrud- ing bones, no wrinkles, no hollows, but neither is there any superhuous fat ness. The whole is beautiful poem of form.
 The exercise to which Natalie owes SO much of her charm is one which has been practiced by women of the poorer classes in many countries, from the earliest ages. Rachel, it may be re- membered, met Jacob when she was going to the we'll with herpitcher. The women of oriental countries, of Greece and of Italy have always been accus- toned to carry pitchers and other bur. dens on their heads. They have little idea of beautifying themselves when they do this, but, nevertheless, they are doing so.
 The American woman who worries about the shape of her neck probably never thinks that its defects are due to lack of proper exercise tending to espe- cially strengther this part. She may be able, suggest~ the New York Jour- nal, to profit by the example of the queen of Servia.

its color is confined to the gems, which are indicated by ovals and circles. The model from which the drawing was made is designed for use with dainty blue and white china, and nile tur- quoises are used, but it might easily be varied to suit any scheme of color. The edge is buttonholed with white floss. All the design is worked with white ex- cepting only the turquoises, which are stuffed and worked in French over and over stitch with blue floss as near to the color of the real jewel as possi- ble. The effect is delightful, and the dolly harmonizes to perfection with the dinner service for which it was made.
 The use of single jewell such as the turquoise, has the advantage ot simplicity, and work so done requires less knowledge of harmony than docs a combination. Two or more gems can be used, however, to give rich and elegant result. Often the design proper is executed in color, but white as O foundation is safest and can be trusted to set forth the jewels at their best. An ambitious piece of work shows the topaz and amethyst combined and is really very effective. The colors be- ing brilliant and decided it can only bs used with judgment, but as resting place for cut glass bowl of maidenhair ferns it is decorative in the extreme.- Chicago Chronicle.

The cows, with their heads held in

The cows, with their heads held in the heavy stanchions, had thrown them- selves, strangled themselves. tangled themselves-done everything which the ingenuityof their exuberant fear could suggest to them.
 Here, as at the we'll, the same thing happened to every man save one. Their hands went mad. They became incapa- ble of everything save the power to rush into dangerous situations.
 The old man released the COW nearest the door, and she, blind drunk with ter TOT, crashed into the Swede. The Swede had been running to and fro, babbling. He carried an empty milk pail, to which he clung with an unconscious fierce en- thusiasm. He shrieked like one lost as he went under the cows hoofs, and the milk pail, rolling across the floor, made a flash of silver in the gloom.
 Old Fleming took fork, beat of the COW, and dragged the paralized Swede to the open air. When they had res- cued all the COWS save one, which had so fastened herself that she could not be moved an inch, they returned to the

 Two little trinngles of wrinkles ap- peared at the corners of his eyes. Evi- dently he appreciated some comedy in this recital. Down near his feet, how ever, little Jim, his grandson, was visi- ply horror-stricken. His hands were clasped nervously and his eyes were wide with astonishment at this terrible scandal, his most magnificent grand father telling such thing.

BE YOUR OWN DOCTOR.

Easily Applied Remedies for A Number of
 Minor 8tlmeDts.
 Don't send for a doctor whenever you feel badly or your heart isn't right or you have q cold. There are many sim pie and direct remedies which you can paste in your hat and apply on occasion. Give Nature a chance ana heip her all you can.
 Thus, for instance, both sneezing and coughing can be arrested by pressing firmly on the upper lip or in front of the ear.
 Boxing the ears of person suffer- ing from hay fever is said to be a sov- ereign remedy for that inconvenient malady. That severe attacks of rheu- matism are greatly relieved by bee stings has been noted, and in Malta and in Russia, where bees abound. they are in such repute as a cure that resort to this primitive kind of inoculation has been a common practice for genera tions, with most satisfactory results.
 Excessive palpitation of the heart can always be arrested by bending double, head downward, and hands hanging. If breathing is temporarily suspended while in this position, the effect is nll the more rapid. Hiccough can almost always be stopped by this simple ac- tion, which is more readily available than the often recommended fright or sudden start which one cannot easily get up for one's self on the spur of the moment.
 The distressing cramping of the fin- gers from constant use of pen, which may in time develop into writer's cramp, can always be prevented by en- larging the holder either by wrapping string around it or by running tho handle of the pen through bit of rub bcr tubing.
 The innumcrable hosts of new and infallible cures for colds would easily fill good-sized volume, and still they come. One quite too simple way of nip ping cold in the bud is to sit down in front of a good fire and warm your back thoroughly, for the back is the place where cold is usually caught, be- ing careful, of course, not to go at once into cold room. A French physician goes to extremes by applying a piece of ice at the spine. Indeed, nowadays the curative value of cold is being high ly spoken of, and the inflammatory sore throat, which used to be treated by poultices and warmth, is now said to be easily and quickly cured by sucking ice and keeping the patient in low tenn perature. Ice at the neck is also powerful curative for asthma. In fact, it is even predicted that the dry, cold, clear air of the arctic, keen and free from germs, will, before long. be rec commended for ailments springing from weak chests.--N. Y. Journal.

 The last new thing in embroidery is known as jewel work from the fact that it is supposed to represent jewels scattered here and there. While un- doubtedly considerable imagination must be called into play before anne thysts. rubies, turquoises and the like can be discovered in the rounds and ovals called by their names, it is effec- tive, and it is novel.

was, he answered, finally; pretty well scared, sometimes. Why, in my first battle thought the sky was falling down. l thought the world was con- ing to an end. You bet I was scared"
 Everyone laughed. Perhaps it seemed strange and rather wonderful to them that man should admit the thing, and in the tone of their laughter there was probably more admiration than if old Fleming had declared that he had always been lion. Moreover, they knew that he had ranked as an orderly sergeant, and so their opinion of his iheroism was fixed. None, to be sure, knew how an orderly sergeant ranked, but then it was understood to be some- where just shy of major generals stars. So when old Henry admitted that he had been frightened there was laugh.
 "The trouble was," said the old man, "I thought they were all shooting at me. Yes, sir. I thought every man in the other army was aiming at me in

But with me it was different. had to get used to it."
 When little Jim walked with his grandfather he was in the habit of skipping along on the stone pavement in front of the three stores and the hotel of the town and betting that he could avoid the cracks. But upon this day he walked soberly, with his hand gripping two of his grandfather's fn- gers. Sometimes he kicked abstracted- ly at dandelions that curved over the walk. Anyone could see that he was much troubled.
 "There's Sickles' colt over in the med der, Jimmie," said the old man. Don't you wish you owned one like him?"
 "Um," said the boy, with strange lack of interest. He continued his re- factions. When finally he ventured: "Grandpa-now-wa that true what you was telling those men?"
 "What?" asked the grandfather. What was telling them?" 70, about you running"
 "Why, yes, that was true enough, Jimmie. ltwas my first fight, and there was an awful lot of noise, you know" Jimmie seemed dazed that this idol of it's own will should so totter. His stout boyish idealism was injured.
 Presently the grandfather said: "Sickles' colt is going for drink. Don't you wish you owned Sickles' colt, Jim mie?' The boy merely answered.: "He ain't us nice as our'n." He lapsed then to another moody silence.

one knew that during this time the old lady had been standing in her night clothes at the bedroom door yelling: What's tn matter? Whats tn mat ter? Whats tn matter?"
 When they dashed toward the barn it presented to their eyes it's usual ap- rearance. solemn. rather mystic in the black night. The Swede's lantern was overturned at point some yards from in front of the barn doors. 1t contained a wild little conflagration of its own, and even in their excitement some of those who ran felt d gentle secondary vi- bration of the thrifty part of their minds at sight of this overturned lam tern. Under ordinary circumstances 1t would have been calamity.
 But the cattle in the barn were trampling, trampling, trampling, and above this noise could be heard hum. ming like the song of innumerable bees. The old man hurled aside the great doors, and a yellow flame leaped out at one corner and sped and sped and wavered frantically up the old gray wall. It was glad, terrible, this single flame, like the wild banner of deadly and triumphant foes.
 The motley crowd from the garret had come with all the pails of the farm. They flung themselves upon the well. It was leisurely old machine, long dwelling in indolence. It was in the LoH <>f rrsu tf tx.v ,,,sk reluctance. The men stormed at it, cursed it, but it continued to allow the buckets to be filled only after the wheezy windlass had howled many pro- tests at the mad-handed men,.
 With his open knife in his hand old Fleming himself had gone headlong into the barn, where the stifling smoke swirled with the air currents, and where could be heard in its fullness the ter rible chorus of the flames, laden with tones of hate and death, hymn of wonderful ferocity.
 He flung blanket over the old mares head, cut the halter close to the manager, led the mare to the door, and fairly kicked her out to safety. He returned with the same blanket and rescued one of the work horses. He took five horses cut, and then came out himself with his clothes bravely on fire. He had no whiskers, and verly little hair on his head. They soused five pailfuls of water on him. His eldest son made clean miss with the sixth pailful because the old man had turned and was running down the decline and around to the base ment of the barn where were the stanchions of COWS. Some one noticed at the time that he ran very lamely, as if one of the frenzied horses had smashed his hip.
