"Faust"
The Greatest OF All Legitimate
Dramas.

Faust" at Rempel's Opera House
Monday night was played az 1t was
never played here before. Consi-
deriug the stage facilities, the
scenic aud mechanical effects were
on grand and magnificent scale,
as the company carry all of their
own scenery to illustrate this grand
production from the pen Of Gothe,
and those of Logan's theatre goers
who braved the chilling blasts Of
the wintry winds to attend the play
were amply rewarded for their
trouble. A very noticeable improve
ment for the better in the makeup
Of the cast is apparent since its last
appearance here three years ago.
The play carries a moral, in fact
is moral in itself; the constant
church attendant could well have
sat out the play Monday evening
and as he followed "Faust" and
"Mephisto" through their lines,
without drawing on his imagina-
tion, witnessed the snares and pit
falls laid to entrap the feet OF the
young innocent; how the "Imp OF
Darkness" encourage and urge on
his fluttering satellites to seek the
luminous flames of worldly pleas
ures and passions until the wings
of innocence are singed and the
soul, which for the privilege Of sip
ping the hector of sinful pleasures,
for a few short years at last suc-
cumb to the inevitible, sink to the
lowest depths and drain the dregs
of degradation.
The piece was we'll mounted and
magnitcently staged, the access
ories were all that could have been
asked for; to the writer we can see
but little difference between
"Morrison's Faust" and "Labadie's
Faust" the only materisl differe zee
is, Morrison has the advantage Of
playing the large cities and the
benefit of plenty of stage room and
the necessary electrical appliances
required in the illumination of the
scenic effects illustrating the piece.
This grand scenic, spectacular
and mechanical production is
biblical allegory, beautiful and
sublime, from the raising OF the
curtain in the first act introducing
"Faust" in his study making his
compact with Satin, the garden
scene, the cathedral handsomely
illuminated, compelling one TO sit
in wOrshipful awe listening to the
chin es. of the great bells and the
chanting of the "Benedictus" by q
well trained choir; the fatal duel
wherein the brother of Marguerite
meets his death at the hands of
Faust; the great Brocken scene
showing the entire stage envelloped
AS in fry calrdoon in the midst
Of which stands the Gimp Of Dark
ness" surrounded by his Imps obey
ing his every command; the prison
scene, the death of Marguerite;
MephistO's descent into the lower
regions enveloped in flames, closing
with beautiful tsbleau represent.
ing Marguerite in heaven, all blend
into mystery which produced
with the mechanical effects must
be seen to be appreciated and when
once seen Is never effaced from
ones mind but remains there for
all time, and showing two sides Of
life, mans duplicity, and youthful
innocence. 1t is an allegorical pro-
duction, which when produced by
competent people will have made
US all the better for having wit
messed it.

event was quite swell affair and
one In which the sterner sex were
debarred from participating. They
do say the young ladies made hand
some gents attired in brothers white
shirt fronts and did escort duty to
their lady loves as graceful as the lord
Of creation could. The evening was,

glomeration of mirth, music, cards
and dancing. After wearying of

There is room for an instructive
treatise upon a subject entitled why
Women's Bonnets Don't Look Well"
So many foolish virgins and matrors
ruin otherwise charming toilets by the
way they put on their hats, which are
often equally charming in themselves.
A bonnet put on too far back or dane
ing over the eyebrows with a smooth
space where the hair is brushed up or
down showing beneath the bonnet and
the coiffure is always ugly and quite
destroys the style of the bonnet. Then
a veil worn with a bonnet for which no
veil is intended, and which hides the
trimming with inartistic folds Of net
like sWaddling clothes, is a common
mistake. If a veil is worn with such a
bonnet at all, it should be one of sin
gle width and put on with great care,
so that the flowers or other trimming
are only softened and not concealed.

Something About This Awful Scourgc OF
Our Climate.

Something About This Awful scourgc OF
Our Climate.
Pneumonia, or Inflammation of the
lungs, is one OF the scourges Of oar
climate, a disease far more fatal to
jewellers in the north than yellow fever
is to the inhabitants of Rio de janet
70 or Havana. 1t claims its victims at
all seasons, but prevails especially in
winter and spring. There are several
forms of inflammation of the lungs.
One. called catarrhal pneumonia, at
tacks chiefly the very young n the
very old, although people of middle
age are by nc means exempt from it.
1t often occurs in the course Of a Sc
we're bronchial cold, and is simply an
extension of the catarrhal inflamma-
ton from the bronchial tubes into
their examinations within the sub
stance Of the lungs. 1t is this form
that is meant when it is said that one
is threatened with pneumonia One
is eve threatened with the other
form, called croupous pneumonia, Or
simply pneumonia-it strikes like a
hammer, without warning. 1t is a
healthy are especially liable to be at
tackled by this form of pneumonia.
But this is only apparently true; pneu-
monia is n of the very few diseases
from which one hitherto in perfect
health may die SO quickly, and SO its
attacks are the more noticeable; but
the1fact is that it is much more likely
to attack those who are below par
physically, and the previously healthy
man has a much better chance of re-
covery. 1t begins suddenly with a
hard chill, followed by fever, rapid
breathing, a sharp pain in the chest,
flushed face, and the eXpectoration Of
thick mucus usually tinged with blood.
In favorable cases the fever falls sud
denly from the third to the ninth day
by "crisis," as it is called. The
symptoms OF an attack Of pneumonia
are ordinarily so severe that there is
no question of self-treatment, but the
physician is called in all haste. For
merly it was the practice to bleed re-
peatedly and to forbid the patient any
food. At the present day the treat
ment is just the opposite, but unfor-
%tunately it is not much more success
full. This form Of pneumonia, like ty-
phoid fever, scarlatina and the like.
is what is called a self-limited disease:
that is to say, it is a disease for which
most physicians believe there is no
specific remedy. Acting on hat belief,
they do not attempt to cure the dis
ease, but try to keep the patient as
comfortable as possible and sustain
his strength until the disease has
spent its force.-Youth's Companion.

Som ethfng About Tides.

According to the law of universal
Erayitation, the moon attracts matter
stands near to her more strong
ly than that which is more remote. It
follows that the attraction on the
ocean, at the side Of the earth which
is nearest to the moon, must be great
er than that exercised on the solid
earth itself. Hence there is a tend
ency for the sea to depart from its
natural spherical shape and to bulge
outward toward the moon. So far the
is simple, but it is perplexing
to many that the moon should appar-
emily repel the water lying on the
further side Of the earth. This &C
ton, however, is not due to any &C
tual repulsion from the noon, but re-
from the fact that on the fur
Their side the moon must attract the
solid earth more strongly than it does
the water. On the nearer side the
moon pulls the water away from the
earth, and on the further side she
pulls the earth away from the water.
thus producing an apparent repulsion
of the water to an extent equal to the
attraction on the other side.

Catarrh in it's various forms is rap
fdly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discovered
by DR.. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of it's virtues and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn CT cure is ca
tarrh. Public men of all parties rec
ognize in Pe-ru-na a national catarrh
remedy of %unequaled merit. Send to
DR.. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, for a
free book on catarrh.

A CAT, A BIRD, AND A SNAKE.
A Story That Shows tho Cats Intelli.
renee.

People that are especially fond of
cats often claim that they have as
much sense as dogs, and that they
have reasoning powers, and this story
seems to prove that this is so: In the
mountain district of Pennsylvania two
wrens have built their nest under the
caves Of an old farmhouse, and there
they reared a small family. Among
the members Of the farmers household
was a white cat, and when the wrens
became SO tame that they used to hop
around the plaza in search CT crumbs
the Gat would lie in wait for them,
and several times came within an inch
Of catching the adult birds. When the
farmer noticed this he punished the
cat, and she finally learned that it
When the baby wrens grew larger n
of them fell out Of the nest one day,
and being too young to run or fly, lay
helpless on the grass. The cat saw
the accident, and ran rapidly to seize
the bird, but, seeming to remember the
lGSSOu taught nel, Wlon she cache
the helpless little thing sho only
touched it daintily with her paw, and
then lay down and watched it. Present.
ly there came a black and yellow gar
den snake toward the bird. The cat
was doing and was awakened by the
fiuttering of the bird. Instantly she
rose and struck at the reptile with her
paw. This was an enemy that the
snake did not like, but it was hungry,
and, darting forward, it attempted to
seize the bird under the very shelter
of the cats head. Like a flash, how
ever, the cat seized the snake just
back Of the head and killed it with one
bite. When the farmer happened along
in the afternoon he found the cat
crouching in the grass sheltering the
bird, and ten feet away was the dead
snake. This made it clear that the cat
had carried the bird away from the
snake. The young adventurer was
soon returned to his anxious parents.

WHAT Is.

Alabastine is the original and only dur
entirely different from all kalsomine
preparations. Alabastine is made ready
for use in white or twelve beautiful
tints by the addition Of cold water. 1t is
put up In dry powdered form, in five
pound packages, with full directions on
every package. 1t takes the place Of
scaling kalsomines, wall paper and paint
for walls. Alabastine can be used On
plaster, brick. wood or canvas, n a
child can brush it on.

WHAT "KALSCMINES" ARE.

K~alsomines are cheap and temporary
preparations, manufactured from whit
ing, chalks, clays, etc. They are stuck on
the walls with decaying animal glue. Ala
bastine is not a kalsomine. 1t is a rock
base cement. which sets. and it hardens
