James Young, the tragedian, who
will appear in Hamlet" at the Audi
torium next Monday evening, January
10th, is recognized by many able critics
as the legitimate successor to no less a
genius than Edwin Booth. There are
many older players than Mr.. Young,
who have bid for the position of fore
most actor in America, but none have
received more encouragement to legiti-
mately claim the title than this young
artist. And there are several TRACE.
dians, like Mr.. Young himself who
have come into public notice only since
the death of the great players, Booth
and Barrett, and while some of them
possess talent that has won them many
admirers, and the good will of many of
our best Shakespearean critics, Mr..
Young appears to enjoy-to judge from
the views of the critics-the greater
numb of qualities that go to make up
peculiar face, figure and elocutionary
and physical fire that are SO necessary
in the makeup of an ideal tragedian,
and, as in the case of Booth when he
had gained no more of a reputation
than his alleged successor, Young has
extreme youth. for he is only "a years
of age.

strels, which appear at the Auditorium.
Tuesday evening, January 11th, is a
choir of Madrigal boys, handsome lit
tie fellows, whose voices are heard to
advantage in the swelling choruses and
delightful refrains which form such a
prominent feature of the long and
toothsome menu which Mr.. Field is
serving up to his patrons this season.
With all his past triumphs in mind it
must still be conceded that, in this
seasons mammoth minstrel aggrega-
ton, Mr. Field has a company far supe-
rior at every point as well as in the
general ensemble, to any he has ever
carried. Fortune has been kind to AL.
e. Field as she is to every one who dis
plays the same talent and energy as
this popular manager and he is repay
ing his thousands of patrons by furnish
ing performance which he confident
ly claims is the biggest and best ever
presented on the minstrel stage. His
crowning feature this season is the

acrobats, seven in number, who have
created furore abroad and are repeat
ing it with his company on their present
tour.

SILENT MONEY MAKERS.
Penny-in-the-SlOt Machines That
Have Earned Fortunes for
Their Owners,

81 observe" remarked a shreMd and
successful promoter of industrial en-
terprises, "that some one has invented
a penny-in-the-slot machine for pump
ing the pneumatic tires of bicycles and
carriages. If all the good things said
about the device are true the inventor,
it is to be hoped, will profit handsomely
by his discovery.
Sew persons are aware of the money
making possibilities of slot machines.
They have been called the little, silent
workers. and they transact their busi-
ness SO unobtrusively that capitalists
are inclined to smile at the mention of
their earning capacity.
''The man who promoted the weigh
ing machines worked with coin in the
slot made $4,000. 1 don't know how
much the inventor made. Of the
slot machines the three most profitable
are those that tell your weight, sell you
chewing gum or show you pictures.
81 once investigated the earning ca
pacity of slot machines for an inventor,
and there was such a Col. Sellers COM
pleXion about the figures that l was
surprised. Slot machines are cheap to
make, for they are usually made from
cast or stamped metal, and the first cost
is usually comparatively insignificant.
They require very little care, and when
the pennies and nickels accumulate
rapidly the dollars take care of them
selves.
It's the little things that pay best,
after all. There is something pleasing
and at the same time amusing in con-
templating machine that sells air, or
another that sells you information
often unreliable-about your weight.
My experience in business is that the
best things to sell are those which can
profitably be disposed of at prices rang

THE OLD RULE APPROVED.
Character of Prospective Wife May
Be Accurately Judged from
Mothers Nature.

81 have great faith" said an old mar
ried man who was telling younger
companion just how to choose a wife,
Sin the old saying which calls the moth
ers of fair young daughters warnings
In selecting . wife, always go by the
mother of the girl. It's coed rule, and
I've never yet known it to fail. There's
a good long stretch of future before
most people who make up their minds
to get married, ard for conSiGerab bic
proportion Of that stretch the girl Will
be much more like her mother than like
herself
IT'S easy enough to choose a wife so
far as the present is concerned, but if
you want to know something of your
wife for the future you should take her
mother into account. When you see
truly charming mother you may be
pretty sure that her daughter is to be

FOR THE CYCLISTS,

Beeswax and turpentine will polish
enamel and remove all but very deep
scratches.
Russia has established a military BIZ
cycle corps, and a squad is attached TO
each regiment. These wheelmen attract
favorable attention, but their utility in
war is yet to be proven.
Slowly, but surely, we are coming to
the gear-case. 1t is ugly and clumsy,
and adds weight; but it is being adopt
ed, because it saves the chain and thus
adds life to the wheel. 1t is really a
common sense idea, and in the end fash
ion always has to bow to utility.
Lady Griffin, one of the society lead
ers of London, has given it out that she
does not consider it dignified for elderly
women to ride a bicycle. That is very
true, but Lady Griffin forgets that peo-
pie do not ride bicycles in order to ap-
pear dignified. If that was taken into
account, very few men or women would
ride.
The following advice to make a new
chain dust proof is given in the Wheel
"Coil it up and place it in a small tin
box. On the top put pieces of any good
candle, and place before hot fire. The
candle will melt and run all over the
chain, and find its way into the links
and blocks. When this has been accom-
plished, put aside the box and contents
to cool, and when the melted candle has
solidifed. wipe off any superfluity.

LONDON GAME SHOPS.
iEnglishmen May Have Their Choice
from the Best cf Wild Fowl
That ITIics.

To the naturalist, and in some cases
to the gastronclnist, the wild fowl in
the London shops are even more inter
esting than the game. The first rush
of the duck, teal and widgeon finds its
way to the market at about the end
of the first week in October, and from,
that time till December these three
standard ducks" for the table form
the main part Of the supply. Their
numbers are supplied equally by Eng
land and Holland, though it is noted
that the Dutch ducks are nearly all
mallards, not more than 10 in 100 BE-
ing females. In one large dealers shop
in Leadenhail market the writer saw
mountain" cf 1900 wild duck, teal
and widgeon, all freshly killed, which
arrived from Rotterdam on the morn
ing OF November Il.
Some duck come from France to Lon
don. This was shown by a curious
piece OF circumstantial evidence. In
the inland lagoons and lakes in the
Landes, near Bordeaux, ducks are reg
ularly shot by means of decoys. Tubs
are sunk in the water for the gunner
to stand III, sometimes backed by a
subsidiary tub to hold his water poodle,
and the decoy ducks are fastened to
strings some six yards apart. The gun
is carefully laid SO as to shoot down
the lane between the rows cf decoys,
and the gunner waits until enough wild
birds are collected and then lets fly.
The decoy ducks are a cross between
the wild mallard and the white tame
ducks, partly that they may be dis
tirlguished by their color. One of these
French "decoy ducks" was included in
batch cf foreign wild fowl on sale
in gaze shop in October. 1T hnd.ap-
parently been taken in real "decoy"
with others, as its neck was broken, and
it was not shot.
In December the 'fancy ducks" and
wild brent geese appear. The brent is
a small black-necked goose, of quiet
and elegant plumage. When plucked it
is not much larger than tame duck.
Last year they were early on the mar
ket, and few bernicle geese, another
black and white sea goose, also ap-
peared. The usual price asked for a
brent goose is two shillirgs six pence,
but little bargaining reduces him to
two shillings, as there is little demand
for any out-of-the-way fowl. Birds of
the year bred in the arctic circle and
fed later on sea grass round our coasts
are excellent. They may be eaten with
in three or fourdaYs of being shot. The
breast is as good as that of wild duck,
though the legs are apt to have slight
ly fshy favor. The pochard, red
headed duck, almost as large as mall
lard. is not common, but when it can
be had is better even than teal.-Corn-
hill Magazine.

ANCIENT GLOVES.
Made of Chicken Skin and Worn at
Night In the Sixteenth Century.

Made of Chicken Skin and Worn nt
Night In the Sixteenth Century.
The wearing of gloves is a more an
cient custom than it is generally
thought to be. Homer speaks of gloves
and tells of one who wore them to pro-
tect his hands while working in his gar
den, says the New York Tribune. The
use of some coverings for the hands
was known to the ancient Persians and
Old Testament writer's also mention
them. They were in such common use
among the Romans that they were worn
even in the wild country by the Britons.
ST. Anne. the mother Of the Virgin
Mary, was. it has been said, knitter
and manufacturer of gloves, for which
reason the glove-makers of France long
ago made her their patron saint. At
one time gloves had certain meaning
attached to them, and were chosen to
show the character or occupation of the
wearer. There are records of gloves
being ordered for "grave and spiritua.
men," About this time, the sixteenth
century, gloves made of chickens skins
were used by both men and women for
whitening the hands and were worn at
night.

CANADA'S POPULATION.
The Majority I'm Her House OF Com
mons Moving from the East
to the West.

The shifting of the majority Of the
Dominion house of commons from the
eastern to the western portion Of
Canada, which has been going on slow
ly since the union Of the provinces, is
likely to be greatly accelerated row.
In the first parliament after the union
there were only SO members for all of
Canada west of the Ottawa, ard 90 for
the portion east of the Ottawa river.
In the present house there are 10l lreem-
bers from the east and 100 from the
west, The expectation among those
who watch the drift of population is
that the redistribution of the pariia-
mentary representation, following upon
the census of 1901, will add materially
not only to the western. contingent at
the expense Of the east, but also to the
total number of the vests representa-
tives.
The province of Quebec is holding it's
population much better than during
the last census period. This means that
there will be several thousands more
of population to each of the 65 members
to whom she is entitled, AS result,
the population unit, per member, in the
other provinces must be increased also.
In the maritime provinces, where the
natural increase of population still
drifts largely to the western portion of
the Dominion, or to the United States,
a reduction in the representation will
be inevitable. The increase of popula-
ton in the west will more than make
up for this shriDkage. Unless western
prophets are entirely too sanguine,
there will be population of at least
100000 between Lake Superior and the
Pacific by the end of the century. The
fact that the west will be in a few years
hold the control of political power in
the Dominion is becoming more and
more apparent to public MEM. Y.
