The Virtues of the Apple.

The apple is such common fruit
that very few persons are familiar
with its remarkably efiicacious
medicinal properties, Everybody
ought to know that the very best
thing they can do is to eat apples
just before retiring for the night.
Persons uninitiated in the mysteries
of the fruit are liable to throw up
their hands in horror at the visions
Of dyspepsia which such sugges-
ton may summon up; but no harm
can come to even delicate system
by the eating OF ripe and juicy
apples just before going to bed.
The apple is excellent brain food,
because it has more phosphoric acid
in easily digested shape than other
fruits. 1t excites the action Of the
liver, promotes sound and healthy
sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the
mouth. This is not all. The apples
help the kidney secretions and
prevents calculus growths, while it
obviates indigestion aud is one OF
the best known preventies of diseases
OF the throat Everybody should
be familiar with such knowlede.

Some Clever Comedians Provoke
Laughter in Miss

An Excellent Per for nance of "Faust'
Is Given at the Matinee-Albers
as Valentine.

| Two entirely different troupes appeared
at the California Theater yesterday and
both won large share OF applause. Grand
opera held the stage at the matinee per-
| formance, and in the evening the operetta
company made its San Francisco debut In
"Miss Helyett."
Faust" the afternoons bill, began at l
o'clock. and with judicious cuts and a
shortening of the waits it was over before
most of the other matinees, although
| there were two balets. the Kermess in the
market scene and the Walpurgis Night
the latter of which is SO frequently
omitted.
| The Marguerite was Mile. Marthe Ber-
| thet, who made such success as Ines in
"L Africaine." Her voice is too distinct
lively a light soprano. to be perfectly
adapted to the role of the Goethe-Gounod
heroine, for Marguerite is soprano of
mezzo carattere. In the Spinning Song"
and the Jewel Song" and the long love
duets with Faust the lack of dramatic
force was most noticeable, although she
sang sweetly and pleasantly. 1t was evil
dent, however, that Mile. Berthst saved
her powers 1or the trying prison scene in
the last act, for she sang magnifcentIy
| there, especially in the final trio with
taust and Mephistopheles, which was
| persistentIy encored in very iIl-tlmed
manner for the dramatic effect, seeing the
Marguerite had to postpone her death to
! oblige the audience, just as she was pre-
| pairing to expire tragically.
An innovation which Mile. Berthe t
| should abandon as quickly as possible is q
| hysterical laugh, which she introduces as
| the curtain falls on Valentines death
scene. One can imagine Calye doing that
| sort of thing and startling the house into
admiration, but Mile. Berthet's Marguerite
| was not tragic enough to warrant such a
grewsome departure as laugh overValen-
| tin rs remains.
usual carried off the lions share of the
honors. He was superb both in the mar
ket scene and in the church scene. In
| deed he died so magnifcenrly that the
audience showed q strong disposition to
see him repeat the feat. In his maledic-
ton of Marguerite he enunciated much
more distinctly than he has done hitherto,
| every word being as distinct as if he had
been speaking instead of singing.
| Massart is less at home as Faust than
Vasco da CANA. His voice in the garden
scene sounded slightly fatIgued and he
might have been more impassioned in the
love e-making, though he warmed to the
work toward tho end OF the act. He, too,
rose to the occasion splendidly in the
prison scene.
NJ. Javid was the most jocose Mephis-

Next Wednesday night San Francisco Tent
of the Knights of the Maccabees will give an
entertainment in Union-square Hall, on which
occasion the Sir Knights OF the tent will give
an exhibition of very fine floor work known al
"the march of the Macca bees"
At its last held meeting this tent initiated
two candidates. The same evening a recep.
ton was rendered to c. A. Luckenbach, the
general supervising deputy for the Pacific
Coast, who, In response to a call, delivered a
very interesting address on the opportunities
of the order. There were present Sir knights
from other tents in this City aud tents on the
other side of the bay.

degree last Saturday. The members of this
tent are, as one of the members said, "work-

side the Imagination of untrammeled
Gauls, but they are more amusing th an
the diluted Miss Helyett and her father in
the American version.
The absurd and risque little incident on
which the play is based proved to be
about the same in the French as in the
translated edition. There were one or
two remarks made during the course OF
the operetta which would excite little
comment in la belle France, but which
are :abooed in polite society on this side
of the Atlantic, but taken altogether, the
dialogue in "Miss Helyett," is not very
different in the French from the American
version.
1t was the actors who gave a different
Interpretation to their parts. Mime. An.
dree Savine, the heroine, was chic, mis-
chievous little creature, who iknew how
to use her hands and acted with verve and
dash. In her conversation she affected
high nasal rwang, which was presumably
an effort to talk in French like down
