Canton,a water-caocrx.

The famous clepsydra, or water clock, of Canton is housed in temple on the city walls. In China: the Long-Lived Empire." Miss scidmore tells of visit paid to this famous temple. We went into . sort of rub bish-room and sat down to wait un- til the expected bargaining should be concluded and we were free to en. ter some further hall the supposed splendid Temple Of Time. "Lady, jump down. Lady sitting ancient wa ter-clocls," said An Poll, our swagger- ing parrot of guide; for three big earthen jars on successive shelves be- side us, fourth and lowest one with wooden cover, constituted the whole clepsydra, and we had unwittingly sat down upon q quarter-section of all time. The water descends by slow drops from one jar to another, the brass scale on float in the last crock telling the hours as it rises. Every afternoon at five o'clock since 1921, A. D., the lowest jar has been emptied. the upper one filled, and clock thus wound up for another day. Boards with the number of the hour are dis- played on the outside wall, that tha city may know the time.y

stFoxY oUILLER..

Probably the biggest thing that we have had in the way of comic opera, this season at least, will be offered at Polls on Saturday evening, when the big Klaw x Erlanger company. head. ed by Jerome Sykes, will appear in De Koven and Smiths splendid opera. Foxy Cutler" The opera was writ, ten especially for NIr Sykes, who will be remembered here as the Foxy Quiller of "The Highwayman." The new opera, however, Is not a sequel to The Highwayman,, as the other characters of the, opera are entirely new to the stage. An all star cast ap- pears in the opera, including such well known artists as the liliputian come dian Adolph Zink, Helen Bertrain, Grace Cameron, Julius Steger, W. c. Stewart, Harry MacDonough and Louis Cassavant. There are by actual count S2 persons in the company, which makes 1t the largest that has appeared on the local stage.

FOR WOMEN READER s.

A vigorous war is being waged in several German cities against the trailing dresses of women in the streets.
 The growing demand for women in the factories of Germany is bringing the servant girl problem more and more to the front.
 Mrs. Humphry Ward writes on a real roof garden of her London house. It is handsomely fitted up like regular room, and on dull, dark days lighted with lamps fitted into wind-proof globes.
 Margaret Deland has a perpetual bit of summer introduced into her Boston home. A small glass conserva- tory, filled to overfowing with gay jonquils, is where this brilliant writer does her work
 An interesting fact brought out by the recent elections in Colorado is the marked tendency of Colorado men to elect women as city treasurers. Mrs. Margaret Robins was unanimously chosen city treasurer of Idaho Springs. At Aspen Mrs. E. A. Ken ney was reelected to the same office by large majority. Mrs.. Jennie Gale was elected city treasurer at New Castle, Mrs. Emma c. Palmer in Greedy. Mrs. Clara A. Clark at Alma, Mrs. Mary Shanks at Ouray, Mrs. Nell lie E. Donahue at Victor and Mrs. A. N. Frowine at Manitou.

"A ROYAL PRIsoNER.n

The interesting romantic drama, "A Royal Prisoner will follow at the Jacques, opening with n special mat lnee tomorrow. True S James, who wrote the play, appears as the star, and he has made marked success in the role. Of the play 1t has been said that It never appears to be trying to educate the audience, yet 1t is refined and elevating in its style, but holds even the smallest boy's closest atten- uon. The story moves with such ra- pldlty and directness that the auditor at times wants to laugh at the hero's comlcal position, yet is restrained from the Tact that new predicaments are in store for him, which may result most disastrously. The pardoning scene In the third act is very original, and Is claimed to be one of the most artistic scenes of the kind ever placed in a drama. The end of the play itself Keeps the auditor in total suspense and the final tableau brings u huge sigh or relief, and at the same time the eye Is feasted upon a final picture, which sends one home to think for many days of the beauty of 1t, and to always remember "A Royal Prisoner" by that one last look.

MILDRED HOLLAND.

The return engagement of Mildred Holland in "The Power Behind the Throne on Friday evening at Polls is attracting attention on all sides be. cause of the splendid impression made by the play when Miss Holland pre- sented 1t here in January. Few plays or stars are remembered with more pleasure, and 1t was because of many requests from those who witnessed the previous performance that the local management induced Miss Holland to return, guaranteeing her a good busi- ness for the return. She has had many experiences of this kind, how ever, and 1t may be said that wherever she lias returned to present the play she has been greeted by immense au- diences. If the general interest ex- pressed in the return engagement here may be taken as an indication, she will undoubtedly fill the house here. The sale of seats opens tomorrow morning and a large demand Is ex- pected. Prices are 20, 30, 90, 75 cents and $1.

Speaking of the display at the Glas- gow exhibition, writer in the New England Engineering Magazine says that America has not separate sec ton, but American exhibits occupy a large space in the machinery hall. Next to Great Britain, Russia is the largest exhibitor. NJ. witte, minister of Fi- nance, announced to the Lord Provost of Glasgow the Czar's desire that Rus sia should be largely represented, so that 'The participation of Russia in the Glasgow exhibition will be n new step towards the establishment and consolidation of the amicable relations which are so important for both coun- tries" So large were the demands of Russia for space that section of the ground had to be set apart entirely for her requirements. The government of the Czar made q grant of aS0,000 for the erection of suitable buildings, and imperial commissioners were ap- pointed to prepare and supervise the Russian section-the first which Russia hns ever had at m international exhi- bition within the United Kingdom. ov- CT two acres are required to aecommo- date the buildings sanctioned by the imperial government. The four prin- cipal pavillons are devoted to agrieul- ture, minerals, forestry, and the pro- ducts of the imperial estates. All are designed in old Russian style, and the oruamentation and other features are exactly as they appear to-day in the northern parts of the empire. They were put up by Russian workmen sent specially from St Petersburg, who worked for ten hours daily, and with a short-handled axe as almost sole instrument

BLACK EYE ARTISTS.
They Do a Thriving Business in
 Our Large Cities.
Discolored Optics Repaired While the Customer Waits Strange Profession That Calls for Much
 slkill and Discretion.

"The men who fail in literature and art become critics" said the late Lord Beaconsfeld in one of his splentic moods. There is truth in the saying, especially where literary men are concerned; but men who fail in art can sometimes find more lucrative profession ,than that of criticising the works of their former brethren of the brush, says a Philadelphia paper. There are at least two men in Phila- delphia--both of whom at one time hoped to gain recognition as artists who earn very fair living by restor- ing black eyes and bruised faces to their natural color. Both men have studios and do more or less cheap pot boiling for the picture dealers, but their principal source of income is de- rived from professional boxers and from men who have been beaten in some chance barroom scrap.
 Their clients or patients are sorry looking lot when they assemble in the early morning to have their bruised and battered faces restored to some thing like natural appearance. The fast young man who has heard the chimes of midnight is there awaiting his turn along with a tough from . waterside ward.
 An ordinary black eye, such as the fast young man carries away with him from his latest barroom scrap, is easily managed, but the bruised and battered face of an earnest .profes- sional' after well-contested set-to requires very delicate manipulation.
 The artist who restores black eyes to their natural color sets his palette very much as a portrait painter would do when expecting sitter. But there is a wide difference between the hu- man skin and prepared canvas, and strong drying oil is usually mixed with the colors intended to restore a black eye or recover a bruised cheek. When the artificial flesh tints are
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-05-08

nearly dry they are lightly powdered with dry color. This deadens the gloss of the drying oil and gives natural, fiesh-lile appearance to the restored face Indeed, it would be impossible to detect the imposture, so cleverly is the work done.
 One dollar is the fee charged for re- storing black eye, and, as the work rarely occupies more than half an hour, the payment certainly compares very favorably with that received by a s,ic- cessful artist whose pictures find a place on the walls of the Academy or at the Art clubs exhibitions. In the case of Q badly battered face several sittings may be required before the patient is again able to face his friends and society at large, and then the artist in black eyes reaps golden harvest. A very popular "Kid," who was knocked out at a sparring exhibit tion in New York, went to Philadel- phia for the express purpose of hay- ing his face restored to something like . natural appearance, which was compliment to the art and artists
 
 passed unnoticed.
 For the complete restoration of this gentleman slugger the fortunate ar- tist received the unusual fee of $25. But the "Kid" was desperately in love with a pretty chorus girl at the time and thought nothing of the expense.
 "It's curious trade, sure enough" said the most successful of the two Philadelphia restorers of black eyes, "but I have learned to like the work, irrespective of the money return it makes me. It enables one to study hu- man nature, for one thing, and it is full of curious surprises for another.
 "0nce lady in full evening dress came to me with badly blacked eye, and the marks of a mans fingers still distinctly showing on her bare throat. She was in a highly nervous condition, and could scarcely control her voice or keep back the tears when she tried to talk to me. She spoke vaguely of 'an accident on the stairs, but, of course, there was some brute of man back of it all. have had many another patient of the same sex, but never one so attractive and so mysterious. As rule, they are unmistakably fast, and obtain their black eyes in some drunk en quarrel with another woman of the same class. But my beautiful patient in evening dress was an unmistakable lady, as have said, and I have always fancied that her visit to me was after the first act of domestic tragedy which is not yet finished."

Another row is on over the purchase of foreign made arms by the war de- partment. The department ordered the purchase of one thousand German magazine pistols, with the understands ing that if, after q practical test by the army, they proved satisfactory, twenty thousand more would be bought. This brought vigorous protest from we'll known American fire-arm company, which claims to have a pistol of Amer ican design and manufacture, in every way as good as the German pistol or dered to be purchased for the army, and which the board of ordinance and Notifications, which recommended the German purchase, did not even test. The protest win not prevent the pur- chase of the one thousand German pis- tols, but it is likely to put spoke in the scheme to purchase twenty thou sand more of them. Every man wishes our army to have the best equipments to be had, but no man with the right sort of blood in him believes that foreign equipments should be bought, when as good can be had in this country. This purchasing of for eign made arms has long been touchy subject with the ordinance bureau, and one which 1t has been almost impos- sible to secure official information about. It may be necessary for con gress to do a little Investigating on this subject.

TEE QUESTION OF SLEEP.

Nothing Is more essential to health and beauty than sufficient sound and refreshing sleep. Some people require more sleep than others For most wo- men eight hours sleep Is certainly de sirable. A good rule for ordinary healthy people Is to sleep till they wake naturally and then to rise at once. This insures sufficient sleep be- ing taken and yet does not admit of sloth. Sound but not heavy sleep ought to make one awake like gi- ant refreshed' and glad to do the work of the day. As the years go on one is apt to wake earlier in the morn ing and when this is the case one should fix ones bedtime somewhat earlier.
 In order to sleep quickly one must prepare to do so, and the best way is to avoid work and all exciting talk for an hour or so before retiring, and instead devote oneself to light and pleasant story. Late suppers are bad, but hunger is even worse, and many sufferers fom insomnia would find their troubles overcome if they would take a cup of bread and milk or a little beef tea with slice of toast just before retiring, or, better still, after they are in their beds. Some people sip a glass of hot water while undress- ing to induce sleep. while others be lieye implicitly in the good effect of a warm (not hoD foot bath, or in the time-honored hop pillow. These reme- dies are all harmless, but beware of the '.nightcap' of toddy and the use of sleeping draughts. The sleep which Is the result of drugs or spirits seldom lasts long, and one wakes up feeling restless and unrefreshed. Never take any narcotic except by a doctors or der, and after 1t has been used destroy the prescription. The harm people do themselves by using old prescriptions is immense, especially in the case Of narcotics.-Journal of Health.

spnin's Reorganization.

Things pertaining to tue Spanish army are still of some interest to the average American. Gen. Linares-- who, by the way, is the same general who surrendered to the American forces at Santiago--has drawn up the new army organization bill for Spain. In it he provides for regular standing army of so,ooo men, which does not include the carbineers or the civil guard. This, of course, is on peace footing. The cavalry will be entirely reorganized, and the present 2s four squadron regiments will be reduced to 24, but with five squadrons each, in- stead of four. Ledger Monthly,

The radical position taken by Repre- sentative babcock, of Wisconsin, as to the necessity of revision of the Ding ley tariff, so as to put trust-controlieu products on the free list, has, Tn the opinion of hide-bound protectionist republicans, made it impossible for MT Babcock to be chairman of the re- publican congressional campaign com mittee in the next campaign. Mir Babcock's friends say that he decided not to continue as chairman of that committee before he publicly an- nounced his attitude on the taritf. Democrats who have been quietly keeping tabs on the talk about MT Babcock's proposed tariff reform, are decidedly pleased with the outlook. They believe that the question will bring about a war in the republican party, compared with which the old stalwart and nti-Stalwart war will seem child's play, and that the result is bound to be beneficial to the Demo cratic party, not only because it will hold the balance of power in congress, but because there is a strong probabil- ity that it will also cause it to elect the next president. If Mir Babcock can get the republican votes he claims, tariff reform bill along the lines he ad- yocates can be put through congress with the assistance of democratic votes and MT Mckinley can veto it if he dares.
