Power Behind the Throne"
Mildred Holland.
The first act OF 1.-THE Power Behind
the Throne," the new play in which
Miss Mildred HOLLAND is one of the
most beautiful exterior stage pictures
ever presented, will again be seen at
the Opera House on next Monday. It
represents an Austrian willow grove
and walled-in flower garden. with an
old German cottage on one side. To
produce the desired effect thousands OF
plants and vines and various varieties
are carried. The other three acts will
be equally perfect in every detail. All
the necessary furniture was especially
built for the production. The locale
of the play is laid in an austrian
province at the end of the 18th cen
fury. The story is a typical one Of m
trigues of that time.
A Poor Relation.
A large audience at the Opera House
last evening witnessed one of the most
pleasing and artistic productions OF the
winter. 1t was "A Poor Relation"
with Mr.. Frank j.. Keenan, in the role
which Sol. Smith Russell made famous.
It would be difficult, indeed, to say too
much in praise of the acting OF Mr..
keenan,. He was supported by a splen-
did company. The play itself is a
clever admixture Of droll humor and
irresistible pathos, and when the aud
fence was not laughing, there We're
evidences that the efforts of the cast
were not appealing in vain to the OPP
posite emotion. Mr.. keenan, was given
a curtain call at the close of each act.
After the strong climax at the end of
the second act, the audience was so
insistenf that the curtain went up sew
eral times.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

vital forces are seldom visible.
All tricks come back to the trickstcr.
Hasty judgments are apt to be

Some flowers must fade that their

The flowers of honor bloom IN the
soil Of humility.
A man may have keen mind WIN

Aluminium Wire.

There are three separate transmi5-
sion circuits from the Niagara power
house to Buffalo, two Of which are
copper, and installed on the same pole
line. The third circuit is strung upon
a separate pole line throughout its en-
tire length, and is Of aluminium instead
Of copper This aluminium line has the
same resistance as each Of the other
two, and is composed of three cables
of 100000 circular mills each, made up
Of thirty-seven strands. At the pres
ent market price Of copper it is cheap
er to use aluminium for overhead lines
where the conductors do not have to
be insulated. The conductiyity Of alu-
mlnum is less than copper, and the
price per pound is greater, but tL1
volume per pound Of aluminium is
much greater than that Of copper on
account Of the lower specific gravity
Of the metal. When, therefore, resist
ance per pound is taken as the basis
for comparison, aluminium is found to
be cheaper Casters Magazine.

SOME sPlnER STORIES.
Proctor Knott's Story of the Spider Tha
Caught "A Mouse.

1t is curious fact that floating
threads from the webs Of spiders will
take the bluing Off a gun barrel. have
been unable to find out why. The
threads of the big tropical spiders are
distinctly bitter to the taste, but
though the first thought a man has
when he tastes anything bitter is that
it must be good for medicine, the only
use the healing art makes of spiders
webs is TO use them to stanch the flow
of blood. The kind of web used for
that grows under the counters Of gro
cerles, and it was one Of these spiders
that caught a mouse. l Will admit
right in the beginning that this looks
like a pretty large story, but 1t is sub
stantiated by no less a parsonage than
the late Proctor Knott who was then
Governor of Kentucky, though his
greater claim to fame was his speech
in Congress about Duluth, the zenith
city of the unsalted seas' as he hui
morously called it, which is very far
indeed from being anything nowadays
but plain statement of fact, as he
lived to see. Governor Knott made n
statement of the event and sent it to
Professor McCooS, whose authority
on the spider question nobody will dis
pute. He saw the spider shortly after
she had shared the mouse by the end
of its tail, and while it was still alive
and struggling halfway off the
ground. and he saw it after it had been
hoisted nine inches from the floor ana
all wrapped up in silk. He calls par
ticular attention to the way the spider
kept stirring up the mouse by biting
it so as to get another line on 1t.

In the case Of the actress who COM
mitted suicide in New York City, over
weening ambition was mistaken for
genius. This is a common error We
seldom find great genius without cor
responding ambition, but the differ,
ence is wide. Genius possesses pa
tience-indeed, ambition and patience
form together it's greatest part And
suicide springs more than anything
else from the impatience which can
not brook the petty delay or unappre-
citation which may sadden the truest
genius but can never murder it.

A careful statistician would find, no
doubt, that firearms get nine persons
into serious trouble where they get one
out. The public as reflected in the
daily criminal news, is quite too han
dy with a gun. And the gun itself
appears to be quite too handy for use.

in his calmer moments, put all fire

The English tongue seems to have
the advantage to-day. A hundred
years ago English was a barbarous
sound to most of the inhabitants of
the globe. In 1900 there were only
twenty millions who heard that drum
beat which Daniel Webster spoke of
later as rolling around the world. To-
day there is more warning Of suprem-
acy often ir the English voice than in

Good Eneets of Apple Eating.

The apple is such common fruit that
few are familiar with its remarkable
eiticacious properties. Everybody
ought to know that the very best thing
they can do is to eat apples just before
retiring for the night. The apple is an
excellent brain food, because it has
more phosphoric acid in easily dlgested
shape than any other vegetable known.
1t excites the action Of the liver, pro.
notes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. That
is not all. The apple agglutinates the
surplus acids Of the stomach, helps the
kidney secretions and is one Of the
best preventives known Of diseases Of
the throat.-Dr. Searles, in Jognal Of
Agriculture.
