tisuc ability. Miss May Warde, the
daughter of the distinguished actor, will
be seen in the role of Bonetta, in which
she appeared with such favor last sea-
son. Other artists in the company in
clude Mr.. Cyrus Hales as Lodovico; Mr.
Frederick Forester, as Count Malaesta,
and Mr.. Alexander Mckenzie, as Matte,
Governor of the Palace.
The Dukes Jester this season is
promised to be deliberately staged and
magniffcently costumed
Monday and Friday nights Mr.. Warde
and his company will present Lord Lyt-
toms historical play In five acts, Erich
elieu," Mr. Warde appearing in the role
of the crafty cardinal. Mr.. Warde has
made thorough study of this unique
character, and since the death of Law
renee Barrett the role is said to have
had no more artistic impersonator.
His reading is at all times impressive
and scholarly, and there Is always in
dicated an amount of reserve force more
potent and artistic in the impersona ton.
In this play Mr. Mckenzie appears of
Louis XIII, king of France. Mr.. E. R.
Spencer will be seen in the role of Adrian
de Mauprat, Miss Isabel Pengra-Spencer
in the role of Julia de Mortimer.
For Tuesday and Saturday nights Mr..
Warde and his company will present
Shakespeare's tragedy "OtheIlo.' The
Othello of Mr.. Warde has been COM
mented upon as being among his most
artistic representations. His conception of
the role leans toward the rational view
as to the question, much vexed, or Othel-
los color and he is in sympathy with the
modern interpreters Of the role who have
discarded the idea that Othello's COM
pleXion was that of negro The trust
ing, almost childlike nature of the Moor
is exhibited by Mr.. Warde in his inter-
probation, which serves to emphasize the
opposite condition when the jealousy Of
Othello is finally aroused, and it Is in
these scenes that his acting is strong and
all of the intense jealousy of the Moor Is
exhibited. In this piece Mr.. Spencer ap-
pears as Iago.
To indicate the amount of study he
has given to Shakespeare Mr.. Warde will

arly. In this play Miss Isabel-Pengra-

Hamlet" Mr.. Warde, it is said, does
not play Hamlet according to accepted
traditions, but he is said to have evolved
a carefully studied and intelligent COM
ecption of his own. His Hamlet is de-
scribed as a man of action, ready enough
to suspect every one about him. and with
strength to hate his own when the occas-
ions demand the decision. In this
drama Mr. E. r. Spencer appears as the
king of Denmark, Miss Isabel-Pengra-
Spencer as Ophelia, part which she is
said to well enact

He next meets the widow who comes to
Blackstone Tomkins law office TO try

his assistance. With this for a founda
ton the various characters are made to
play at cross purposes, and situations
that are irresistibly funny follow one an
other with quick succession. The lines

ment relieve the tension Of merriment
and furnish contrasting episodes; the az

seemingly hopeless tangle, from which
they are finally extricated to the advant-
age and JOY Of all concerned.

FAITHFUL SHEPHERD DOGS.

Last October cold spell in Montana
killed sheep herder in the Great Falls
district; two feet Of snow covered the
range in places, and the thermometer in
dicated 40o below zero.
The herder was froz N TO death on the
prairies while caring for the sheep, and
it was three days before his fate was
known to his employers. Two shepherd
dogs we're with him when he died, and
one Of these staid with his body while
the other attended to the sheep, just as
though the herder had been with him.
The dog drove them out on the range in
the morning and back again at night,
guarding them from wolves and pre-
venting them from straying off. Neither
dog had anything to eat during the three
days vigil, sn far as could be ascertain
ed, but the $500 sheep thrived as well,
apparently. as though directed by human
agency. The singular fact about the
matter is that these faithful animals
would have starved to death rather than
harm one of the sheep left in their care.

GULL THE HERD.

The foundation of all profitable dairy
ing lies in having cows that will produce
a large quantity of rich milk at the low
est possible feed cost. In order to have
this kind Of cows the dsirymsn must
weed out all that do not come up to
profitably productive standard, and when
he has got his herd upon this basis he
can continue the process by still further
wedding out the poorest Of these.
or course in order to intelligently Gull
a dairy herd the owner must know what
each animal in the herd does during the
year. He must not guess at 1t, but must
know. Fortunately he Is not without
the means of knowing, for the spring
balance, the Babcock test and the indi-
vidual milk record, taken in connection
with the feed given, will enable anyone
to ascertain the yield of the cows COM
posing the herd per year, and its cost,
both absolutely and comparatively one
with another. Science has come to the
dairyman's aid with these facilities for
finding out what his COWS are doing, and
it will be the part Of wisdom to employ
them.
Many dairyman has found on apply
ing the test and keeping individual rec
ords, that cows which he thought were
only indifi rent ones really made all the
profit that the dairy made, while others
thought to be good ones were making
very little money and were sometimes
actually losing money and being kept
by the better work of their herd mates.
A profitable COW is not necessarily the
one that gives the largest amount Of
milk when fresh. 1t is not even the COW
that gives the richest milk; it is the COW
that during the year will send the largest
amount of butter fat to the churn at the
lowest cost per pound.-Mirror and

Green Not Restful to the Eyes.

Green Not HestIu1 10 INC Eye"
It seems as though cherished notions
were no sooner on an apparently firm
foundation than some inconsiderate
iconoclast comes along and throws
them down. People have for many
years supposed that the color green
was restful to human eyes and have
been referred to the green grass ana
green foliage that nature has been 80
prodigal with for the benefit Of wearied
vision.
Now, according to a German profess
or Of Berlin. nature wasn't thinking
Of human eyes when she made her pro-
fuse verdant display and that her col
or scheme was carried out absolutely
regardless of the visual needs OF hu-
manity. He says that greer does not
protect the eye. and he denies that 1t
has any beneficial effects whatever.
He declares that green paper, green
shades. green glasses. green decora'
tions and green umbrellas are all
mistake and that by increasing the
green light we are simply provoking
q nervous disturbance.
He says that each Of the colors tires
a different set Of nerves Of vision, and
therefore looking at one particular col
or saves one set Of nerves at the ex.
pense of another. The best method.
he says. is to dim all Of the rays Of
light by smoked or gray glasses. which

A Sisters Advtce.

I tell you, nobody but a mother
knows how q mother fe5ls when she
looks at her child and fears that hs
may not be spared to her.
The hours of her life are dark and
heavy when she does that.
But that is what Mrs. Frank T. WASH
burn, of Kennebunk, Maine, did more
than once, when punches had formed
on her little boys neck.
She knew they were scrofulous
punches, and she knew scrofula is pro-
gressive and one of the most destruc-
tive of diseases.
She was alarmed, and told her sister
about her fears for the little fellow, and
her sister comforted her by telling her
that many wonderful cures of scrofula
had been wrought by Hoods sarsapa-
rilla, and that she should give this
medicine to the boy.
It is difficult to conceive how her
sister could have thrown more sunshine
into her life at this time, and it is
certain that better advice could not
have been given.
For, mark you'll this is what Mrs.
Washburn said, on the 18th OF Octo-
Der, 1900:
"Hood's sarsaparilla cured my boy:
The punches gradually softened and
disappeared. He has been real well
ever since and now, at three years Of
age, is . rugged, healthy child. I am
grateful for what Hoods Sarsaparilla
did for him."
This is q simple statement of one Of
the thousands OF radical and permanent
cures Of scrofula effected by Hoods
Sarsaparilla-which is the medicine Of
all medicines for this disease and all
its manifestations, punches, abscessss,
eruptions, inflamed eyelids, sore ears,
ricketts,, wasting and general debility,
% well % for dyspepsia, catarrh, kid
ney complaint and rheumatism.

CLIPPINGS.

The good dairy COW is the compara-
lively lean one.
A medium hog has the best profit and
will bring the best price in the market.
Selling too young and feeding too long
are both errors to be avoided.
Rich color In milk does not necessarily
mean large amount of butter fat. Poor
milk from some cows may be more
highly colored than the rich milk from
others.
There is in Denmark company which
ships from l 900 to 1000 pounds OF froz-
en- milk daily to other countries. IL Is
ssid that milk so treated remains per-
fectly sweet for several weeks.
The German dairymeu have stall
which seems nearly perfect. Inc plat
form Is Just the right length for the COW,
and behind it Is a deep ditch OF SIX OF
eight inches, with a ledge part way
down, so that the COW in slipping on
does not slip clear to the bottom. Inc

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION FOR
THE FARMER.

The evenings at the fireside are the
farmers opportunities for the study OF
agriculture. During the day he is busy
with his work-the art of agriculture -
but the evenings are his, and he may u,
industry. Science is the knowledge ~ d
art is the application OF that science Tor
results. These evenings which 81 many
farmers make so much Of, are of untold
value MS the means of educating people
VINO have TO work with their hauds dur
ing tn. day time.
1t has only besn within recent years,
since books and papers have become so
chesp and plentiful that the habit OF
reading has become so common to all the
people. Ii was not many years ago when
people felt that papers and bonks were
luxuries and could not be aft ,rded by
everybody. This was true to the extent
that families united in subscribing for
the weekly religious, political or agri-
cultural newspaper and each issue was
passed around to the two or three fam
lilies.
With the multiplicity and cheapening
of publications Of all kinds, we have the
far too common desire to read everything
in sight, and the result is that there is
frt quently more reading than thinking,
anu much of the time the quality of thu
matter read is not what il should be.
Even in our agricultural journals we
find articles that teach more rallacy than
truth. This being 50, how is the young
farmer who is trying to educate himself
by home reading to reject the theories
that are false? True, ne may in great
measure protect himself by selecting
few Of the standard publications rs his
guides, but it is only by experience, or
contact with reliable teachers that he
can feel sure of himself.
The trained, reliable institute worker
is a wonderful aid to the farmer, In
bringing home to him the reasons that
uuderlie and support the theories he ad-
vocates his practicing, and no farmer
should miss attending an institute II 1t
is within reasonable distance Of him.
These meetings have proved to be great
helps to the farmer in every state, and
cannot be too highly priced because they
reach so many workers.
The bulletins of the Experiment Sta
tions of the different states are invalu-
able to the novice as well as the ad-
vanced student, but probably not so
great opportunities are open to the farm
er as those offered by the Short Courses
at the Agricultural Colleges, for here
they are given drill in the theory and
practice Of the subjects that are OF the
utmost usefulness to them. Such courses
are provided especially for them.-Turf,
