pearing young fellow-Thurlow Bergen
by name-whose home is in Washington.
So many local people have achieved emf
nence in professional ranks within the
last few years that this fact is hardly nota-
BILE. excepting in that it begins to appear
that denizens of this city will soon have
as much reason to be proud of Mr. Bergen
as they have to admire Wilton Lackaye
and Giles Shine and Charles B. Hanford.
An extremely good-looking young fellow
and a man of distinct intelligence. Mr..
Bergen has found little difficulty in win

THINGS THEATRICAL.

Ability is so seldom appreciated that
any expression to that end Is aIwaVs note
worthy. Such acknowledgement was made
Manager John Grieves last night at the
Bijou Theatre by his associates in the
vaudeville business, aided and abetted bv
hundreds of those who have enioyed the
hospitality of the charming little play-
house since 1t has come under his manage
ment. The capacity of. the auditorium was
tested early in the evening, and more than
surpassed before the rather lengthy pro-
gramme was ended. The occasion was Il
notable one in the histrionic history Of
Washington.
The entertainment was opened with a
half hours musical melange. in which were
introduced solos by Jack Flood, Flora Scott,
Sol Goldsmith. Viola Sheldon. Billy Wat
son, Kittie Bingham and Lin Taylor
while Sam Adams. Dot Davenport, and the
Danish Sisters were seen and heard to
good advantage. This popular portion Of
the performance was ended by an Amazon
march. arranged under the direction of Mr.
Grieyes From the very raw material in
hand, the manager evolved finished en-
semble, the local fayorites attracting un-
told attention in fresh. new fieshings.

wonderfully enjoyable one. After the
first part Manager Gieves was presented
with an immense floral piece from New
York friends, a neat address being made
by Comedian Carr.

Wonderful Hairdressing.

Hairdressing in Zululand is an i'm
portant feature, both to the bride and
bridegroom, and the attention paid to
the couture of the pair would shame the
performance of west end hairdresser
who arranges a brides locks and fastens
the orange blossom chaplet.
A cone shaped erection, for instance,
is the lawful couture of a Zulu wife,
and this cannot be legally worn till the
marriage rites are duly completed Save
for the all important cone, the head of
Zulu bride is closely shaved, an as
sagai being used for the purpose, while
as soon as a youth is of manageable
age his head is shorn to leave a ring
around the scalp and then literally be-
smeared with fat and ocher, without
which unguents no Zulu would feel fit
tingly decorated for his bride.
When the bridegroom elect has been
shorn of all his hair save the wool on
the crown, which is trained in circu-
lar shape and some four inches in diam
eter, ring is sewed to this gum and
charcoal. In this the Zulu thrusts long
snuff spoons, needles and small utility
articles and is very proud of his ring,
which is the badge of manhood. Cas-
sells Magazine.

Two Dangerous Trades.

File cutting and glass polishing are
the two trades in which the operatives
are constantly subjected to the slow and
stealthy growth of industrial disease.
The danger in their case is even more
alarming than in those which have been
previously dealt with, as the power
which daily menaces them is that most
pernicious and treacherous evil, lead
poisoning. In the case of file cutters
the mischief is contained in the bed
upon which the file is placed for cut
ting. This is composed of metallic lead,
for, although other substances have
been tried, it is declared that none of
them give the desired amount of re-
sistance without residence obtained by
a lead bed.
Glass polishing is dangerous in that
the powder with which the edges of cut
glass are treated contains go to 70 per
cent of oxide of lead. Here, again, the
same remedies are demanded, and for
tunately they are not so difficult of at
tainment In both these cases the poison
pursues it's victims with malice as re-
lentless as it is appalling, which kills or
mains as surely as does any explosion
or accident by violence. -Fortnightly

-Four Ugly Beats.


There are four beasts in the world
that can give long odds in the way of
ugliness to anything else that lives.
One of them is monkey, a grewsome
looking beast called the bearded saki.
This is SO utterly grotesGue beast that
it would scarcely be safe to let child
or nervous person see it. The ugliness
is not of an amusing kind, but of an
evil, sinister nature The beast has
sort of beard and countenance unlike
anything else in shape and lines. The
monkey itself is not particularly saw
age. but is SO hideous that the natives
of its country, South America, say that
no beast of prey, however hungry, will
tackle it. Even hungry jaguar would
