PARK THEATRE.
THE HUsTLER-OCT. 2STH.

1t is not likely that any other comic
entertainment on the stage at the pres
ent time brings forth quite as loud or as
much laughter as is evoked by The
Hustler" 1t is prominent among those
attractions which seem never to grow
tedious. The piece has held a very i'm
portant place among all big productions
for several seasons, and this year is
making a strong bid for the top seat.
1t has been refreshened, rejuvenated, and
rendered up to date. and yet retains all
the hilarity and highly meritorious fea-
lures which originally attracted theatre
goers of all classes. For it's new produc-
tion notable company OF eminent and
versatile entertainers has been secured.
In plot episodes and dialogue, THE
Hustler" is perfect specimen of that
sort of entertainment which is made "for
laughing purposes only" It's special
ties this season are new, and glance at
the list of the company promises that
they are of the most diverting order.

on Saturday evening by Nr. William
Mcvay and support. Williams piece
is in three acts. Il has a sparkling di-
alogue. and clever scenes follow in
rapid succession. While the work of
Mr.. Mcvay and some OF his associates
was equal TO all requirements. on the
whole the acting OF the people was
no. nearly so satisfactory as II was in

lamentable lack OF the comedy spirit
and snap, which may como. however.

"Not many people know that the
average growth of the finger nails rs
one thirty-second of an inch a week,
or little more than one and half
inches a year. observed aphysician
recently. "The growth, however, de-
pends to great extent upon che rate
Of nutrition, and during sickness and
abstinence from good, nourishing food
it is retarded. Nails grow faster IN
summer thanin winter, and the growth
differs from different fingers, being
usually most rapid in the middle fin
ger and slowcst in the thumb. The
average time taken for each finger
nail to grow to its full length is about
four and half months, and at this
rate a man of 10 years Of age would
have renewed his nails 1856 times.
Taking the length Of each nail at half
an inch, he would have grown seven
feet nine inches Of nail on each finger,
and on all his fingers and thumbs an
aggregate Of .79 feet 6 inches.

The Laugh Wasn't on the Boy.

It is said that Professor Blackie
often told this anecdote son himself. .
This genial old professor used to form
a very picturesque feature in the
Edinburgh streets. He was wiry
old patriarch, with handsome features
and hair falling in ringlets about his
shoulders. No one who had seen him
could possibly forget him. One day
he was accosted by very dirty little
bootblack with his "Shine your boots,
sir?" The professor was impressed
by the 6lthiness of the boys face.
II don't want a shine, my lad, .
said he, "But if you'll 60 and wash
your face I'll give you six pence
"a richt, sir, was the lads reply.
Then he went over to neighboring
fountain and made his ablutions. Re
turning, he held out his hand for the
money.
"Well, my lad, said the professor,
