The box office of the Clunie Opera

sale of seats for the musical comedy
and spectacle of Thursday evening,

quite sufficient to say that Eddie Foy,
the inimitable low comedian and clown.
is at the head of the troupe, for Foy
would not connect himself with any
thing disreputable or sadly weak. His
own reputation would prevent that.

1t is original with Mr. Clement, the
conception of his genius, for he is the
author of the play, and in action the
character is the product of his fine art

is the character of Bonar by Jeffrey

as gentle and attractive as that of the
Baron, Mr.. Williams personation of it

the Josephine of Mrs. Clement are
charming, indeed, lovable charac-

the playwright and personated with
ease, w.t. grace and charming natural
ness IF there is sufficient real demand
here for thoroughly good dramatic
work and high-class performances, it
should be made evident tonight and

That Telltnle Tag.

She was a poor, plain little woman,
evidently just in from the country, and
she stood looking longingly at line Of
gaudy purses which hung along IN q
row by the notion counter.
After minute she stepped into a
corner, took out her own shabby little
leather purse and counted over the
money carefully.
She evidently found out she could
afford it, as great extravaganza, and
so at last walked shyly up to the coun-
ter, selected one with pearls set in
along the chain and big emerald flash
ing in the top, took up the box in
which it was given her and vanished in
the direction Of the waiting room. Not
more than five seconds later she appear
ed again-her old purse tucked out Of
sight and the new one hanging proudly
round her neck. 1t was almost pitiful
to see her-sbe took SO much pride in
the gaudy thing-and then, more pitt
full, yet more laughable, there came
into view behind her the price tag,
tapping gayly from its little pink string
and proclaiming to the world at large
that that particular purse had cost just
80 cents!
Nobody who saw that saucy tag had
the courage to tell its wearer, and yet
that would have been kindest too. But
she vanished down the street with it
still in view. How do you suppose she
felt when she found it out?-Cleveland

Holmes AZ n Face Reader.

The Youths Companion tells this
story of Oliver Wendell Holmes, one Of
whose hobbies was to trace genealogies
and family resemblances. At the open
ing of the term of the medical class one
year, while he was one of its lecturers,
he met for the first time a young mem
Der who introduced himself as, let US
say, n Perry of Cambridge.
The little doctor looked at him keenly
and said: "You are also one of the W. g
of Cape Cod. know it by your upper
lip"
The young man flushed and made
haste to answer that be never had heard
of the WIS and did not know any per-
son in Cape Cod.
But the doctor smiled obstinately and
at intervals through the winter would
inquire whether Mr.. Perry had looked
up his ancestor, receiving each time the
assurance that inquiry had been made,
but no trace of this strain Of blood could
be found in the family.
One day Perry came to him. "You
were right, DR.. Holmes. We have found
in an old Bible record that my great
great grandmother was w. and came
from Cape Cod. -
The doctor beamed with delight. "No
upper lip ever deceived me yet" he
laughingly exclaimed, and carried his
little triumph to all of his friends with
as much pleasure as if it had been a
long lost treasure.

A Simple sunshine Recorder.

Procure an empty quarter plate card
board box, and in the top of the lid cut
q hole about half an inch in diameter
close to the edge of one side. Then paste
bit of stiff brown paper over this hole,
and when dry prick hole in the brown
paper with pin.
To use the sunshine recorder place a
piece of paper in the bottom of the box,
but sensitive side uppermost, and on
this place a glass plate to keep the pa
per fiat. Now put the lid on containing
the pin hole, and stand the whole thing
fat on window ledge, the pin hole side
facing the south and make a pencil mark
all round the box, so that you always
place it in the same position, and change
tho paper once day, when very clear
record of every peep of sunshine will be
found.-New York Mail and Express.

"a few nights ago." writes Trans
vaal correspondent, II, in company with
a chum, took stroll round the Native
Location which lies about 200 yards
from the railway station. We made for
a row of huts, four in number, in the
front of which wood fires were burning.
"On reaching them we noticed the
natives were in the act of catching To-
Gusts, flying ants and other queer look
ing insects which were swarming around
in hundreds, being attracted by the
bright light of the fire.
after their wings had been singed
through coming in contact with the
fire, the insects were scooped into a
large hole dug in the sand. We waited
several minutes wondering what the
motive for all this could be, when the
niggers formed a circle round this mole
and commenced taking out handfuls Of
these hideGGs looking things and eating
Them
This, as we ascertained, formed the
niggers' evening meal, they informing

''Oh, Father Wooden. must die.

Then Wooden, from his mighty throne,
Called every living thing
The trees, the flowers. the beasts the fish,
The birds with shining wing;
He bade them swear an oath most strong
That none would do great Baldur wrong
But wicked Lak God of Hate,
Laughed with a hendish glee:
For To- the mistletoe was left.
As twas neither flower nor tree.
And with branch Of mistletoe
She laid the mighty Badur low.
Then did all living things make moan.
When mighty Baldur died
The heavens rained tears the mountains shook.
The earth for vengeance cried;
While awful Wooden cursed the thing
That did such dreadful sorrow bring.
The mistletoe bowed low with gIiei.
And since that time. tits said

And hangs its pensive head.

From the shepherd College Pickett 4.
True Etiquette.

We sometimes meet individuals who
are excessively ceremonious and pre-
else; who are unwilling TO speak, or
move, or even to think, apparently, I'M
less they can find detailed directions for
their expenditure of energy in some
book of etiquette.
Others, on the contrary, affect lofty
disregard of forms sheer at the idea OF
conformity to any usage or standard IN
matters of personal habit and recog-
nize in such matters no law other than
their own uncontrolled desires and im-
pulses.
The middle course, between these ex-
tremes, seems TO us the one to pursue.
There are some usages of good society,
in the highest sense, to which we must
conform if we wish to be considered
persons of refinement and culture. And
upon examination it is found that all
rules of etiquette worth needing have
their foundation in the Golden Rule.
Perhaps few illustrations may not be
out Of place. No position should be in
dulged in which is likely to be distaste-
full to anyone present such as an un-
due elevation of the feet, half recliu-
ing posture, chair tilted back, &c.
There are many details of the toilet,
also, which are highly important, but
which should not receive public atten-
ton; such as cleaning the nails, arrang-
ing the hair by the aid of hand-glass,
&c.
Passing to matters of broader scope,
we find the underlying principle of un-
selfshness and regard for the comfort OF
others in all rules worth needing. Take
the call due hostess after the enjoy
ment of her hospitality; is it not fit-
ting acknowledgment of the pleasure re-
ceived through her kindness
Take the notification and expression OF
regret which society requires of one re-
fusing an invitation is itnot imperative
that be should+Gi y lat amount Of trou-
bic to prevent the inconvenience and an
noyauce which may otherwise be given
the hostess?
For one who has the instincts Of a
gentleman or lady, true politeness and
courtesy is not hard to cultivate. But if
the right impulses be lacking, then the
task is indeed difficult, and one which it
is useless to attempt except by striking
at the root of the matter reforming the
whole moral nature. For there IS no
veneer Of good manners which will not,
at some critical moment, rub off, and ex-
pose the baser material beneath.

Thursday night, December 22d, the
members of the Greek and Latin classes
of the school gave very enjoyment en-
tertainment. The first part Of the pro-
gram consisted Of well-chosen and we'll
delivered Rotations and declamations
selected from the best American authors.
These were followed by an Grafton by
Mr.. r. p MCGarry, who set forth the
origin and growth of the Greek drama.
These exercises were followed by the
drama Iphigenia. The characters were,
Iphigenia, Miss Hess; Orestes, Mr.. Hill (;
Pylades, Mr.. Neill the chorus, Misses
Elba Hoffman, Katie Lucas, Lutte ALL
stadt, Lalla Reynolds, Florence Miller
and Nina Hill The parts of the play
were we'll sustained.
The school can congratulate itself upon
having those among them who can and
are willing to make these old classics so
interesting. The stage settings were as
nearly like those Of the times as circum'
stances would permit. In tue back
ground stood the image Of the temple OF
Diana. The altar and all seemed real.
After this drama followed the tab
leaux Dido, Gree, Golden Apples,
Apollo and Cassandra, The Seasons.
These were excellent and made pictures
long to be remembered. The whole was
under the management of Miss Johnson,
the teacher of Latin and Greek, and re-
fleets credit upon her.
We will not attempt to speak of any
one part of the program specially. The
interested audience spoke for them AL
felt that the evening had been well spent.
