end of his resources. reduced TO the necessity OF
getting money out of Ford. and less unctuous.
If not less less pretentious and arrogant, than
the Merry Knight in his prime. Mr.. Weir made
Fastaff real character, spontaneous In ut
terance. natural in gesture and pose realistic In
his affection for sack. SLY in his articles for
evadlng detection and rich in unaffected hu-
NOR His style was entirely free from self
consciousness and natural and unforced in by
play. Possibly the note of distinction was
missed. Falstaf was a gentleman by birth'
and unlike the rustics and rascals with whom
he kept company. Even in his fallen estate
there should be evidences of the survival OF
good breeding. Mr.. Weir has fine voice for
the Shakespearian text and his impersonation
was far from being conventional.
Mr. Weir was supported by a company OF ver
satile talents. Mr.. Benson took the minor part
of DR.. Caius. and acted IT with muscular energy
and robustness, making him one OF the clowns
of the piece and perhaps enlarging the re-
sources of the text for broken French. Mr.. III.
o. Nicholson was almost equally effective as Sir
Hugh Evans, the other clown Mr.. Alfred Bry-
done as Justice Shallow was perhaps too realis-
tic in his denotement of senility, but Mr.. Lyall
Swete as Justice Slender was delightful in ia
ciaI expression and unforced humor The Bar
dolph Pistol and Nym were picturesque figures,
and Mr. Quantermaine made fine comic study
of the small part of Simple. Mr.. Frank Rodney
and Mr.. George Fitzgerald were excellent as
Ford and Page, and the part of Fenton was
well played. Mrs. Benson was to great ad-
vantage as Mistress Ford. II her laughter
unrestrained, she entered with zest and evident
enjoyment into the misunderstanding of the farce,
was always graceful in pose and danced gayly
in the final masquerade. Miss Chester supported
her with intelligence as Mistress Page, and Miss
Alice Dennil ingenious in byplay and eff
fective as Mistress Quickly.
A characteristic effect of the Benson per-
formances is the general impression left at the
close of the play that single actor has par
ticularly distinguished himself but that there
has been good all around work by the entire
company. This was true the first night OF
"The Merry Wives of Windsor" II there had
been no special display OF subtlety fulness
OF humor in Falstaf, there had been a rollicking
rsvel OF practical joking, grotesque antics and
high spirits, in which every actor had brought
out forcibly real traits of character; and the
final scene. with It's beautiful harmonies OF
color and graceful and spirited dance. left the
audience with full sense of enjoyment of q
performance remarkable for symmetry. balance
and proportion. The play was received with
heartiness and appreciation. and after the fall

scene between Sir John Evans and DR.. caius on
The felG Of Frognore becomes a rough and tum-
Die all around fight, in which everybody joins;
and the various episodes in which Falstaff is

Location For Growing Fruit.

The location for growing fruit will
depend chiefly on the kinds OF fruit tc
be grown. Grapes and the tree fruits
will stand fair facilities for shipping
much better than berries, and the
packages go with the fruit; with Der.
ries they are generally returnable. and
the more perishable character OF the
fruit would make home market more
desirable, and be much more economi.
cal in the capital required 70 be in.
--Tted in baskets and crates. With a
distant market fully ten times as many
crates and baskets will be needed as
in a home market, because of the de-
lays in returning the empty baskets.
and some never find their way back;
and 10 get out of packages in the midst
Of the picking season is a contingency
that must be provided for. In a home
market you can look after these things
yourself and the prices are apt 10 be

home market will compensate for a
good deal of difference in adaptability
of soil and location. \ thoughtful
consideration of the above difference
should influence the decision. - DIE

FITTING Cor, Corner.

According 10 an authority, the fitting
up of an oriental room or coZy cor
ner does not necessarily require the
expenditure OF small fortuLe. al
though thousands can easily be ex-
pended. IL thousands Of dollars are
available for the purpose. But there
are reasonable priced materials that
are used with excellent effect in the
adornment of a Moorish or whatever
style of room is desired, and IL is TO
be noted that the arrangement OF these
draperies is more simple than former
ly and, therefore, the materials are
not so apt 10 prove dust traps. An
advantage in the cotton goods is that
they can be easily cleaned and, IL
draped artistically, the effect is as
good as IL the more costly material had
been employed. The arrangement OF
light is one of the most important ad.
juncts in connection with the fitting
up of an oriental room and whatever
be the method employed the light must
be so tempered as 10 produce the mel
low effect that is half the charm Of
oriental draperies. whether costly or
ipexpensive.-Brook Eagle.

The Moral Value OF Nsatness.

One Of the serious mistakes made by
mothers In training their children, is in
supposing that careful habits can be
cultivated in careless surroundings.
A ragged or worn carpet, so little
valued by the mother that grease or
ink spots can be left on IL without
causing comment, may become NOR
al calamity.
Tying the child up in n bib and Civ
ing it the liberty to spin its food when
eating, is responsible for bad table
habits in the men and women whom
we meet. A child who is made TO eat
its food carefully, in room where
the furnishings are respected. where a
penalty will follow carelessness. nat
urally acquires careful manners.
Many a mother spends more time re.
pairing damages, the results of care
less habits, due largely 10 the furn-
ishings in the dning-room, than she
would need 10 spend in setting a table
carefully and keeping the room in or
der, SO that its order and neatress
commanded the respect Of the chill
dren.
The ounce Of prevention Is worth
seven pounds Of cure in the training of
children, and ii is pity that the ounce
of prevention is not administered in
the inhnitesimal doses necessary in
childhood. rather than in the radical
doses necessary to overcome neglect in
matters that are never minor, for man
ner and habit mark the man. a man
may be n moral man and eat with\his
knife. but he would be more vafua-
BILE man In the community IL he rec
ognized the uses for which the knife
was designed and applied IL only TO
those uses. And so with many other
habits and manners that prove to
be such trials to the meE and women
Of to-day. which might have been
avoided If in their childhood the "mor-
al value of neatness,' and the neces-
sity Of thoroughness in training. had
been nappreciated.-Philadelph!a r. cord.

After doing odd things in his sleep

the only son OF a prosperous farmer
living near Dewitt. Iowa. has capped
them all by committing suicide while
In somnambulistic condition. In the
middle OF the night he got up. loaded
his gun with buckshot. went down 10

how the other farmer did it. and II
