The Theaters In Japan.

The theaters are the very places to
study the japanese. In many theaters
the entire house is divided by rails
into square pens by 4 feet, intend
ed for Four Japanese, but often con-
tanning half dozen. The men and
women are barefoot, walk the narrow
dividing rails to reach their reserved
"seats." The patrons kneel within
these square pens, or, when there are
no pens, they squat upon the floor in
little circular groups and smoke, eat,
drink, fan themselves and chatter.
Many come In and go out at random.
Children run to and fro. Frequently
the spectators bring luncheon and pass
the day within the theater, the play
continuing uninterruptedly.
The stage, which In some theaters
revolves to change scenes, has two de-
tached projections three feet wide, ex.
tending among the audience. Upon
these projections the performers run,
reciting and acting.
Their acting is sufficiently curious.
A villain slain walks off the stage. a
Jap mops with dirty cloth the chief
actors face while he is speaking. The
prompter, dressed all in black, gown.
hood and girdle, will follow the actor
all around the stage. Other persons,
also In black, run to and fro across the
stage. Those costumed In black are
supposed to be invisible. Stage car
penters and helpers often stand upon
the stage and gaze and laugh at the
actors, and so on.-Baltimore Sun.

Clayton E. Rollins.

At about eleven click on Monday
Dec 25, 1899, the struggle ended, the
weary wheels Of life stood siill, aud the
spirit of Clayton +. Rollins, of Burr
Oak township, returned to the God
who gave it. For nearly two years il
was evident to those who knew him
best that disease had made such inroad-
upOn his system that there was little
hope of recovery. But upon his part
the progress Of disease was met with
unflinching courage. Every possible
means that human skill could devise,
was employed for the recovery of
health, but all i'm vain. A loving hus-
band, u kind and affectionate father,
loyal and generous neighbor, an up
right citizen, has gone tojoin the silent
majority. He will be missed by all,
but especially in that home, to which
the best efforts of his life had t'een con-
secrated. On Wednesday Dec. %, the
funeral services were held at the M. f..
church in Burr Oak, conducted by Rev.
VIM. Cummings where large assemb-
ly met to pay the Last tribute to all
that was left of &. e. Rollins, who was
born in Rock CO., Wis, Nov. %, 1850.
He came with his parents to Iowa in
1865; was married to Hannah Frances
Stead, March 81, 1875; and departed
this life in hope Of eternal life on Dec
%. 1899, leaving father and mother,
three brothers aud one sister, besides AL
affectionate wife, three daughters and
one son, to mourn his loss. -

There is more Catarrh in this sec-
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be lncurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nOunced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurnble. Science
has proven catarrh to bea constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consliiu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cuie,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co..
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter-
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to Ire. Send for circulars
