NOTES FROM KeITHS

Patrons OF Kelth's next week will see
one of the greatest vaudeville novelties
and prettiest spectacular features OF the
season in the act of the Eight English
Roses. Al least six OF these handsome
English girls look enough alike 10 be
sisters, and this fact permits an exceed
insly fetching opening TO their act. A
triangular series of frames IL placed across
the stage. each frame contafiing a prac-
ticable curtain. When one Of the Roses
draws these curtains aside there appears
within the frame an exact duplicate OF
herself. Every motion or gesture OF the
girls In front II faithfully reproduced by
the girls beyond. even to dancing steps.
and AK the girls are all exceedingly coed
TO look upon az well as graceful and
young, the effect is one To command the
attention of the most hard boiled stole.
An ingenious climax Ia reached when one
girl. dancing at center, is precisely mi
tated simultaneously from different points
OF reflection by three girls behind the
frames, In the end, or course, the pre-
sumaby mirroed girls step through the
frames and all unite In a dance down

NEW YORK CUSTOMS FRAUDS.

The frauds recently unearthed in the
appraisers Office at New York are be-
lieved to have robbed the government
of nearly 81 ,000, 600. For months it has
been noticed that certain importers OF
Japanese wash silks in New York-cou1d
sell these goods below what would be
the legitimate cost if the duties were
paid. Chicago importers suspect dis
honesty on the part of their New York
rivals and set a trap to. convict the
guilty parties This measure of self
protection has resulted in stopping a
conspiracy of fraud which was cheat
ing the government out OF enormous
sums annually.
The Chicago merchants believed
there were dishonest officials in the ap-
praiser's Office at New York who were
in collision with dishonest. importers
in that city. To test their theory they
refused to pay the duty on thirty cases
of silk in the Chicago custom house
and had them reshipped to New York
on some pretext, with the result that
the whole system of fraud has since
been unearthed. The dishonest prac-
tees in this case are the more mex
cusable because there is no opportuni-
ty for error as to the amount of the
duties. The customs charges on silks
are levied according to the weight of
the goods in pounds. There is no ex-
cuse for a clerk who makes an under
appraisement of goods subject to. Soe-
cific duties by the pound or yard.
When goods are taxed on the ad valo-
rem basis the importer may be tempt
ed to undervalue his goods in order to
reduce the duty, and the appraiser may
be deceived. Frauds of that kind are
frequent and hard to get at, but the
silk frauds are more daring ara I'm
usual.-Chicago Tribune. astS-'

the demand of Hawaii for protection
for it's home coffee growers. Under the
decision of the supreme court, con-

ties upon any imports into these terri

gests an interesting illustration OF the
theory of protective tariff. Coffee

TWO WATERS FROM ONE WELL.

A well that furnishes two separate
and distinct kinds of drinking water
from the one opening is a freak of
nature which the town of Lyons, Miss,
few miles south of Memphis, is now
enjoying, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. One stream is said by experts
to flow from an underground current
having its source in Lake Michigan,
while the other is identified by taste,
odor and chemical analysis with the
waters of Waukesha Springs. The we'll
goes to a depth of 975 feet, and was
sunk by Albert Goldsberry, of Mem
phis. The two streams emerge from
pipes of different lengths, the one
which taps the Lake Michigan stratum
having the greater depth. Lyons is sit
uated in a part of the country where
good drinking water in all seasons is
difficult to obtain. and recently when
Memphis parties proposed to sink an
artesian well the suggestion was scout
ed by the residents of the town. The
discovery of the two streams, one
pure, clear, soft freestone and the
other a strong, sweet, chalybeate iron
water, is a source of wonder to the ma
uves. Both streams gush above the
surface, the freestone to a height of
thirty-five feet and the chalybeate
twenty-one feet.

DEsICCATED VEGETABLES.
Dried Garden Truck VIII He Used by

Dried Garden Truck Will He Used by
Uncle Sans Soldiers.
Desiccated vegetables are coming on
the market, for use especially by pros
pectors and hunters, who are obliged
to economic every ounce in the weight
of the provisions they carry. Necessity
compels them to select such foods as
combine the maximum of nutriment
with the minimum of bulk and avoir-
dupois. This implies water-free sub
stances, and dried fruits and vege-
tables are especially adapted for the
purpose. OF late the War Department
has been experimenting with products
of this kind; it has found them whole
some and in all respects desirable, and
is likely to use them largely in future
years.
White potatoes, carrots and sweet
potatoes have been found particularly
available for desiccation. The sweet
potatoes are cut up into little cubes,
while the, white potatoes and carrots
are sliced. When wanted for use, they
have to be soaked in water before
cooking them; as sold. they are sup
posed to be absolutely water free.
What saving in weight and bulk they
represent will be realized when 1t is

carrots 80 per cent.
Experiments have proved that the
drying process causes no loss of nutri-
ment and that the product furnishes
most valuable addition to the food of
people who are unable to get fresh
vegetables. The desiccated wife po-
tatoes are as rich in muscle-formfng
element as the best wheat flour. though
consisting mainly of the s.archy ma
terial which is so useful as fuel for the
body machine. The same thing may be
said of the carrots and sweet potatoes;
but a notable fact is that dried eastern
vegetabl es are richer in starch and
poorer in muscle-forming material
than those grown in California.

With footstep light and free;
Not bent to kill-his heart was good
A modern Nimrod he.

Held fifty shots; three by four
camera, in short.
Far better we should nicely frame
The prizes of our skill
Than with the victims of our aim
Our greedy stomachs fill.
And when a-hunting he was stirred
To go, from dawn to gloam,
No need to pity beast or bird
He'd proudly carry home.

Within the forest, green
save that he met, along his way,
A peril unforeseen.
Shot fifty times he brought to town

to keep his breaches dry, rode through
on a soldiers back. Crawford OBJ

minute was splashing through the

To Tell Time BY sight.

Some Boston people are much inter-
ested in a project to establish a sys-
tenn of recording time by means of
flashing lights on the dome of the
state house The plan is to automatic
ally turn off a certain number of lights
at one second before the hour and turn
them on again one second after the
hour At every succeeding ten min
utes smaller number of lights would
be turned OH. and then on again. Pre-
sumably some indication of the quar-
ter hour and half hour would also be
given, perhaps by turning on colored
lights in certain combinations. The
effect would, of course, be pretty and
less troublesome than the jangling of
chimes at every quarter, as is done in
some cities, especially abroad.
