 Shakespeare's grand tragedy of Mac beth," which next to Hamlet" is per- haps his greatest work, vii be present. ed by the great Polish actress Madame Modjeska on Monday night. The play has been seen but rarely in recent years. probably from the lack of actors who are equal to the demands of the great role of Lady Macbeth. In other days the play of Macbeth was the most pop- ular of the standard works, and conse- quently now we are to see it again at the hands of a genius such as Modjes- ka, interest in the event is already en- thusiastic. It not only gives Modjeska great opportunity, but also the mem- bers of her company, among whom are to be found many of the ablest actors now identified with the legitimate stage The part of Macbeth will be played by Charles Herman, who has earned most enthusiastic comment from the critics At the Christmas matinee on Monday Ndudl1e hOuJSShd VIII EIeSSHI Mdi y Stuart

LONDON LADIES' PETS.
Queer and Weird Creatures Which
 Find Favor in England.

Queer and Weird Creatures Which
 Find Favor in England.
 In the ordinary course of things wolves are not regarded as desirable household pets; but in the neighbor- hood of Regents Park, appropriately enough, there is one often to be seen taking it's walks abroad, securely muz- zled, and in the charge of either lady or a gentleman.
 A Daily Mail representative called the attention of MT. Albert E. Jamrach, the naturalist, of St. George street east, to the fact, and asked him whether keep ing wild animals as pets was coming at all into vogue. His reply was that, while wolves were not popular pets among ladies, there were some very weird creatures from the desert, or the prairie, or the jungle, that nowadays found their way into household. Several instances were given. As a rule, he said ladies prefer small ami nals a$ pets. A very popular pet is the coat,mundi which is sometimes known as an ant eater. Its home is in South America, and it very quickly be- bodger, and can be safely kept in the | house, or it can be allowed to frolic about the garden if there are not any ! flowers in the way.
 1 The suricate, which comes from South Africa, very readily submits to a quiet domestic life. The late Frank Buckland always kept two specimens ir his room. The suricate is a carnivorous animal. about as large as a ferret, and 1 is great favorite with Zulus and Ka- i frs, who almost worship it.
 Lately there has been a great demand for the rrongoose, a curious little anima which is introduced in one of RudyarG Kipling's famous jungle stories. Int mongocse, which no doubt owes it's pop ularity to Kiplng, has rather a fiery | spirit and is useful as a rat-catcher but it can be remarkably tome, ant then it finds warm place in the hearts of lady admirers.
 Up to few years ago the kinkajou, z native of South America, had promi nent place in English homes, but it rar away before the advance of the railway engine, and is now running wild in in accessible parts of the great southern 1 continent. Formerly the kinkajou which has a very fine prehensile tail was seen in many houses, but it is nov rarely seen. There is one in the Zoolog ical Gardens, and the keeper proudl, points 1t out to ladies, who at once fal in love with it. Among animals othe than dogs which ladies keep as pets ar large squirrels, Australian opossum ard kangaroos.
 Birds as pets have gone almost out O fashion, and there is now scarcely an, demand for them. In the old days well-stocked aviaries were to be seen i, nearly every lady's house, but the poo birds have been forsaken since the ad vent of bicycles, and they are scarcel ever inquired for now.
 At the present time the most popula bird is the orange-fanked parrakeet which is delightfully."- tame, one of it principal recommendations being tha it willingly takes it's food while perche on lady's fineer.-London Daily Mai

Bone again got the ball and with a nice run past Ever ett and Menard passed the ball to Lin- coln, when Cusic very foolishly left his goal and with quick pass to Bone this player had an open goal and took advantage of it. After fifteen seconds Bone again caged the ball from a fine pass by Leydon amidst the cheers of the crowd. No further scoring took place, and Captain Whiting and his men retired with another well earned victory to their credit, which now ties them for second place.
