Browns S in Town.

There is no name upon which more
indignity has been heaped, nor any name
that has been responsible for more that
is bright, clever and startling than the
dulcet name of Brown. 1t is doubtful
too il there is any other editice large
enough to hold all the Browns there are.
in which case the Park opera house Fri
day night ought to be taxed to its ut
most with those who will want to see the
latest farcical etfusion Browns In
Town" The author has constructed a
farce which is said to be entirely new in
its theme, and one that is original in its
lines and situations. The plot hinges on
a secret marriage which the young man
wishes to keep from his father whose
matrimonial experiences were such as to
give him just cause for prohibiting his
son from taking unto himself a wife.
Farces such as browns in Town" rely
on measure upon the people interpre-
ting them. They must not only be good
actors, but actors especially adapted to
farcical work. This farce has players
who will fulfil their requirements ad-
mirably. II you are Brown or if you
know Brown, his reason for being in
town will surely appear particularly
funny to you.

HEMP BREAKING.

The Russians roast the seeds Of the
hemp plant and use them on bread.
OIL made from crushing seeds Is utiliz-
ed to some degree In mixing paints and
In preparing varnishes.
The time has arrived for farmers
and capitalists to consider the profits
which may be made from hemp rais-
ing. There is much waste land in the
United States in the very districts
where hemp Will grow readily, and
such tracts can be purchased az low
cost. Then, too, as soon as ilemp seeds
h1yc been planted no attention is given
10 the growing plants Until the crop is
ready for cutting. Farmers for this
resson like TO cultivate hemp.
The diversifying OF crops is much
discussed here in the south. why not
plant hemp? A leading farmer said to
the writer recently; 81 have been
planting hemp for many years, and
have always made money on the crop.
Hemp requires little care, and al! ask
Is that prices should be fair"

An Experience In the Monkey Tenn

An Experience In the Monkey Tenn
pie nj Benares.
On the occasion of our visit to the
monkey temple at Banares we had
provided ourselves with popcorn and
other goodies which We expected TO Of
fer their holinesses. But the monkeys
did not give us chance to do that.
They snatched the dainties from our
hands. and when our supplies were ex.
hausted they amused themselves by
mimieking US
One of our party, who had a bad
cold, used his handkerchief with con-
siderable emphasis. Scarcely had he
replaced his handkerchief in his pock-
ct when a monkey seized the protrud-
ing end, pulled it out and gave an ex-
cellent imitation of the act. Then, Of
course, some of us had kodaks, and
after we had taken several pictures
another personification of impudence
picked up little block of wood which
lay upon the ground and with 1t took
several snapshots at us.
A third i'll conducted simian Ia vain
female, who deserted her infant for
the purpose) grabbed from my shoul-
ders red chuddar scarf and in few
flying leaps carried it to a lofty nina
ret. There she put it on and evidently
''fancied herself" immensely. But she
was not allowed to retain her prize.
in about three minutes at least 40 mon
keys had bit piece of nay precious
chuddar.
Then our native guide informed me
that the monkeys were very fond of
scarfs and that they captured a great
many on the stone "ghats" near the
temple while their owners were bath
ing in the river. Perhaps on the prin-
ciple that misery loves company" he
seemed to think his item Of news
ought to console me; but. although the
'monkeyshines" continued as long as
we stopped in the temple compound"
no longer found them quite SO lu-
dicrous.-Chautauquan.

THEOSOPHY. I.
Religion Of Despair.
aq
Subject as Treated by
Rev. J. H. W. Blake.
One Of the Substitutes
For Christianity.
He Declares 1t Is a Mist OF
Human Error.
Belief Is Of Recent 0rigin-An Ex'
ceIlent Lecture.

Rev. J. Fl. Blake delivered very in
teresting address on Philosophy in st.
Paul's Episcopal church Sunday even
ing.
1t was the second in his series Of
talks on substitutes for christianity.
Rev. Blake said he had no intention
of arousing an Improbable discussion,
or to ridicule any of these beliefs but
1t is fitting that we seriously consider
one by one the various substitutes for
the belief in Christ As general rule
men will not change any old thing
for something new. unless they know
that they will be benefited by the
change.
True religion must come from above.
Men once thought that they might
change religion to suit their fancies,
but this has proven fallacy. Chris
tianity claims to be from God, as a
system ii has been before the world
for nineteen centuries, teaching the
fatherhood of good, the brotherhood of
man. 1t has frowncd upon injustice,
has been the basis of the greatest gov
crnments in the world. 1t has filed
the same with reverence.
Theosophy is very difficult to define.
Its advocates differing widely in their
opinions 1t seems to rest on old
eastern systems of religion and seems
to have been founded about 1875. The
osophy is to be found here and there
In the ancient philosophy. 1t
maintains that there is n
supreme deity from which all nature
has proceeded and will return again.
Theosophy does not believe in God,
teaching only pantheism. Stones,
birds and trees are all parts of God.
All things are fixed by eternal ncccs-
sity. Prayer is USE, 's and will avail
nothing. all is governed by fate. Man
is composed of one spirit, three souls,
two bodies. Mans ego. his PERSONAL
ty, goes on through the lands Of
dreams, Reincarnation is one of the
distinctive features. The ego must
change again and again, without re-
gard to sex or color, and will eventual
ly fall into the abyss of impersonali-
ties called God.
Compare Theosophy with chrstiani-
ty. Christianity is the sunlight of
truth, Theosophy is nothing more or
less than the mists of human error, it
is the religion of abstract despair.

CUTTLEFlSH INK.

rious Animal Elects.

rious Animal Elects.
The cuttletish are caught in great
numbers off the Cornwall coast and
are used as bait for the conger eel,
for which this par. of the world Is eel
ebrated. The cuttlefsh possesses no
real mouth, but has long, cylindrical
sucker with which 1t adheres firmly to
the bait The method Of capturing the
fish is as follows: A long line from
which are suspended from 200 TO 800
hooks baited with portions OF pilchards
almost the only bait the cuttlefish will
taie) is let down into the sea ana al
lowed to stop there for about half IN
hour. 1t is then drawn up, and the
cuttlefsh are found hanging by means
of their suckers to the bait.
The moment that they leave the wa
tiers they eject with considerable force
a great quantity of deep, black, visccus
substance which is about the consisten-
cy of treacle, and the stain made by il
upon the clothes of the fishermen is
permanent If IL happens to fall upon
them.
l had n conversation with one man
who has several times received a full
charge in his face, and he assured ME
that beyond the smell, which is most
nauseous, he felt no Inconvenience at
all, no smarting or pain in his eyes and
no bad after effects.
If any of the liquid gets upon the
nets, it rots them beyond repair I'M
less it is washed off Immediately. An
other curious fact is that this fluid
will not injure cloth in the slightest
degree beyond making n permanent
stain. One man told me that he had
used jersey for several years which
had been squirted all over at different
times by these cephalopods, but that
except for the cloth being stained it
was as good as ever.

Russia, Italy, Holland, Turkey, Great
Britain, the East Indies, the United
States and the Philippines are the prin-

world. 1t Is singular how greatly Is
the hemp plant influenced by its en-
vironment. Some climates 30 affect 1t
that the fibers are ruined as far MS any
commercial uee IL concerned. In the
United states no such trouble has been

Hemp Is used In making rope. In
