IT not infrequently occurs that
plants shipped late in the fall or during
the winter season, in mild weather, are
caught by severe weather and become
frozen. Many persons would think
them perhaps fatally injured. and OF
little value; but exposure to frost is
not harmful provided the plants may
thaw gradually, unexposed to light and
heat. The best plan, therefore, is to let
the box remain unopened, and put u
in a cool cellar. 1t may take q week
or more to thaw out; but under proper
conditions there viii be no harm done.

No one who has taken the trouble to
scan the average American bill OF fare
can fail to recognize the Importance
of the frying pan with us; fried ham
or bacon and eggs, fried oysters, fried
potatoes, fried steaks, and so on, ad
nauseuln, seem to be staple articles OF
food. What can be done to lessen the
fried-food nuisance? Perhaps moth
ing SO long as present conditions exist;
so long as the highest ideal of the peo-
pie is to accumulate dollars rather
than to develop and preserve healthy
bodies which shall be the servants OF
healthy minds Yet if those who teach
physiology in our public and other
schools understood their subject and
it's practical applications as they
should; if there We're more schools IN
which wholesome, economical cookery
were taught as it should be; if physi-
clans took every opportunity to I'M
press such facts of practical HYGIENE
Importance as they should, there can
be no doubt that by some sensible
and well-informed people the fried
denominations would be avoided.-Phil-

An original and decidedly novel con-
coction of farcial conglomcrations, for
which the master mind Of purely up
roarious comedy, Willie Erwin is re-
sponsible, will be given an important
hearing at Byrd-Ada opera house
Tuesday night, April 10th, on
which occasion additional interest
will be given the presentation on ac-
count Of the exceptionally noted array
of talent engaged. When taken into
consideration that such able artists
as Boyle & Graham, May Donohue,
Alta De Norman. Ed Clark. Gerald
Griffin, Andrew Leigh, Mead & Ben
nett, and others OF equal prominence
are in the big cast, some idea may be
had concerning the worthiness Of the
attraction. "His Better Half" is es-
teemed above all as one of the COM
mendable bookings made for the pres
ent theatrical season, and, as such,
it will doubtless enjoy couspious
place in the happy memories Of those
who will avail themselves Of its in
vitatiOn.

and in spite of all his efforts he only
succeeded in getting out OF breath, SO
at last the dancing master lost patience
and told his pupil that he was incapable
of learning. The judge therefore went
to law, and got the following verdict
in his favor: Seeing that man who
has no physical defects is not unfit to
be taught to dance, the professor is
hereby condemned to continue his les
sons until his pupil is proficient" The
willing magistrate and the unwilling
dancing master have therefore set to
work again.

the blank sheet Of paper with the
formal resignation Of the governor. At
this astounding piece Of information

fused to believe their own eyes, but,

"The lieutenant governor succeeded
to the vacancy and assumed the reins
of Office Immediately. The intelligence
of his deposition was conveyed to the
ex-governor in Europe, and his tour
was cut short.

avowed purpose of taking vengeance on
the new governor and all his friends.
The ex-governor landed at Rio and was
about to proceed up the Amazon TO
his former capital when he was met
with the polite message that if he at
tempted to ascend the river the
steamer which carried him would be
met by a gunboat from Amazonas
and be sent to the bottom with all on
board. This not only tended to cool
his ardor but made cold chills run up

Of Amazonas."
