ARAB ACTORS AND THEATRE
j. f. Woolacott describes Perfor-

j. f. Woolacott Describes a Perfor-
nance of "2oIaeo and Juliet.
J. Il. Woolacott writes from Carlo,
thus describes a performance of "Ro-
meo and Juliet" by Arab actors:
'From our box facing the stage we
look down on n sea of red tarbooshes,
broken here and there by the turban
of sheikh. On our left few harem
boxes with white lace curtains drawn
tightly across the front indicate that
the fair sex are not entirely shut out
form the joys of the drama. The peep
holes originally cult to enable the
ladies to obtain n clear view Of the
stage have been In several instances
materially enlarged by the hands OF
the fair playgoers, and we catch now
and then glimpse of Il face, the flash
of TN earring, and the red glow of
lighted cigarette.
Impatient for the play to begin,
tho occupants of the back benches
stamp their feet with logged persist
ance, and after ten inmates of this
amusement the curtain Is rung up, re
vealing the entire company, stiff and
erect, formed In two rows, the princi-
pals, OF course, In the foreground.

mournful groans, we have tho pro-
logue, and assuredly the 'misadvent-
ured, piteous oyer-throws' of the lovers
OF Verona never fathomcd the depths
of woe suggested by this Arab choir.
The curtain falls amid vociferous ap-
plause and five minutes later rises
again, revealing the amorous Romeo
clad In red dOublet and sky-blue
trunks, gazing with rapture ut the
balcony of his lady-love
MY mentor assures me there Is good
literary workmanship In the version
of Romeo and Juliet that Is being
played. But the story Itself has been
materially tempered with. The gar
rulous old nurse does not appear, and
the Count of Paris furnishes all the
comic relief vouchsafed by the Trans
lator This doughty nobleman's cos
tune consists of brown velvet doub-
let, sky-blue combinations, which only
continue to the knee, ending there In n
little lace frill striped socks, and
brown slippers. Juliet houts him to
his face, whcreat the Arab playgoers
howl with delight"

Suuaws As Lacemakers.

Specimens of the beautiful lace that
is being made by the Chippewa Indians
are now seen in n few of the fashion
able houses of New York. They are
mainly in the form OF table covers,
bed spreads and plano covers. The
lace is peculiarly adapted for these
purposes. as the designs are bold and
forcible and show to great advantage
when placed over a delicately colored
silk lining In quality and style, how
ever, the lace Is quite subject to vari-
alton as is that of any other make, and
ample opportunity Is therefore afforded
for the individuality of the worker to
assert itself.
1t is to Miss Sibyl Carter, OF New
York. that the Chippewa squaws owe
their knowledge of lacemaking. In 1891
she conceived the idea of teaching
them this accomplishment. The bead
work they formerly made, while 1t dis
played their patience and nimbleness
of touch, was quite unstable. The &C
compllshed teacher that Miss Carter.
aided by the Episcopal mission, sent
to theui, was Miss Pauline Colby. She
speaks OF her pupils as being most
eager to learn, and says that the idea
once grasped they work with an ac-
curacy which far surpasses that of
white women.
| From the first the lace found a ready
sale among wealthy New York women,
who encouraged the work by giving
large advance orders. Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt and Mrs. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan have fine bedspreads of 1t for
which they paid 5000 apiece. Mrs. As
| tor. too. has been a liberal patron. The
Indian women receive at the rate of 10
cents an hour for the completed work.

Value of Book Titles.

1t is said that Samuel Richardson on
his deathbed told his wife that she
would find among his effects some ex-
cellent titles which only needed to have
books written for them to give her AN
income. There is no question of the
great importance Of well selected
name for book as for a person. Some
very wretched books have achieved at
least profitable sale by means Of
taking title, and. ON the other hand.
many good book has been handicapped
by an awkward or an Insignificant title.
Yet it would be unfortunate if authors
should come to regard the title as hav
ing any considerable weight besides the
contents of the book.
Perhaps many people do not know
that one can copyright title without
having written a page of the book. We
know man who never wrote a book IN
his life, and probably never will, who
has Copyrighted a score of titles fer
novels which he would like to write.
Some day he will hold an auction and
BELL off his titles. Kansas City Journal.

Finger Nail Fancies.

In early times 1t was considered that
bad luck would certainly attend any
person who neglected to either burn or
bury the parings of his finger nails.
Among the Hebrews it was the custom
to pare the nails ON a Friday, and the
operation had TO be conducted in GER
tain manner. The little finger on the
left hand had first TO be operated on,
then the middle finger, followed by the
fourth finger, thumb and forefnger.
The nail of the middle finger of the
right hand had next to be cut. Then
came the thumb, then the forefnger
and afterward the fourth and little fin
ger.
When fortune telling was more in
vogue than at present. the shape and
appearance of the finger nails were
looked on as having reference to ones
destiny. The nails were first rubbed
over with mixture of wax and SCOT,
and after being thus prepared were held
so that the sunlight fell full upon them.
On the horny, transparent substance
were supposed to appear signs and char
acters from which the future could be
interpreted. Life.

PAPER and String.

Franklin's time honored and cumu-
lative adage. For want of the nail the
shoe was lost, for want of the shoe the
horse was lost, for want of the horse
the man was lost" should have the
addendum of Irvine and paper bags
put to 1t to make it complete.
Few things are more aggravating
than to be ready to tie up a package
and find no string, or to carry a few
apples, oranges, eggs or bulbs a short
distance and find no bag to hold them.
Strings should always be wound In
ball and kept ready for immediate use
where the family may find them, and
paper bags, as soon as emptied, should
be folded neatly and laid in drawer
for use as needed.

PRICE OF MEAT
Going Higher for Two Years In Pro-
portion to Stock Shortage.

PohtA " 5tOth OhOEtuBCs
The rise IN the wholesale price of
meat has been gradual and due to
causes over which the packer himself
has had no control. 1t has been the
commercial result of the gradual rise
in the price of live stock; and this en-
HANGING of the value of the herd has
been brought about by the general
shortage of live stock for slaughter
purposes, and the increased cost OF
producing hand stall fed beef, be-
cause of the shortage of feed and the
increased cost of getting 1t. If the past
prices of meat Were right the present
prices are so, since they are calculated
on the same basis. A comparison of
the market for beef cattle on the hoof
In Chicago and Kansas City for Aug.
10, 1897, 1903 and 1909, shows that the
following top and average prices were
paid by the packers at the stockyarda
in open competition for hand fed ana
choice Western beef cattle Aug. 10,
1897, prime cattle, live weight, $3.50,
average, 415, making the prime dead
meat cost 800, or nearly 8 cents per
pound to produce. The butcher paid
less for It. Aug. 10, 1893, prime stock
fetched 1925; average good heifers
biphhhN E.oOs ulb hiGoo=
ed beef cost $50, or Size per pound
landed. August 10, 1899. prime beef
cnttle sold for $500; average good,
1925, making the carcass Of prime
cost landed. $9.25( or 0Ac. per pound.
The price OF cattle has been creeping
up for two years in proportion to the
shortage of stock and the expensive
food and weather conditions for pro-
ducing marketable beef. We have
warned the retail trade of these adj
vancing conditions and from time to
time advised them to meet the newt
able by putting up their shop prices.
That they have fingered at the old
prices for two years and are now
forced to meet the state of trade In one
jump Is ms unfortunate as 1t was un-
necessary, but the wholesalers are not
to blame. inasmuch as the stock grow
err draws first blood from the slaughter
and for spot cash Mt that. If any one
questions this statement let him bid
