BROKEN BRIC-A-BRACS.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of
| New York, explains some very interesting
| facts abont Majors Cement.
| The multitudeS who Use his standard ar-
| ticle know that it is many hundred per
cent. better than other ccments for which
| similar claims are made, but great many
| do not know why. The simple reason is
that Mr.. Major uses the best materials
| ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not Use them, because they are too eX-
pensve and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements of
his cement costs % IS II pound, and an
other costs 2G5 II gallon. while II large
glue upon the market are nothing more
than siXtccn-cent glue. dissolved in water
or citric acid. and III some cases. altered
slightly in color and odor by the addition
of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement rctals nj fifteen and
twenty-five cents II bottle, and when Il
dealer tries to sell substitute you can de
pend upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is rs much
rs any dealer ought to max" on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene-
fit of Mr. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over $1,000 Il month. throughout
the country. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept

MARY HOWE AND THE BOSTONlA
SENTETTE.
Mary Howe and the Bostonia Sex
tette club sang and played Tuesday
evening to the largest audience that
has yet gathered in Music hall. 1t
was the fist appearance mere of
Ncrmont's best known singer, and
her name and the reputation of the
other artists We're sufficient to fill
the house to the last seat. 1t was
perhaps the best musical entertain
ment Woodstock has ever heard,
many coming miles to hear it, and
incidentally to enjoy good music in
a new and beautiful hall.
1t is enough to say that the selec-
tons hy the seNtette and by its in
dividual artists were of character
to be easily understood, enjoyed and
appreciated by everyone in the audi
cnce, and that they were beautifully |
played.
The overture by the scxtettc, ''Lc
Pre- aux Clcrcs," and the following
number by the string quintette,
1.-THE Poets Dream" and "Evening
Breeze" especially pleased the audi
cnce, which was generous in APP
plausc considering that Woodstock
audience is never ovcr-demonstru-
tive. The violin solo by Mr.. Loud
and the clarinet and cello solos bv
MIR. Stats and Mr.. Porter complct-
ed Il charming instrumental program.
Mary Howe is a delightful singer,
with a voice clear, sweet and en-
prcssivc, and of much charm of
manner. Her songs won two of
the recalls of the evening. Too
much has not been said OF her sing
ING and Woodstock will want to
% hear her again. Her accompan-
st, Mr.. Lucien Howe, played with
rare discrimination and skill.
The success of Tuesday evenings
is due IN good part to a. b.

OCnl managers of the on trrtuinment !

TEIEPATHIC ENGAGEMENT.
A Fad That Is Now Popular with
the Young People.

One of my girl friends, says a
writer in the Milwaukee Sentinel,
who keeps up with the times, informs
me that the very newest thing is the
telepathic engagement, and she says
that it is keeping her busy remember
ing to think of certain people at GER
tain hours Of the day and remain pas
siye at other times when some one
is supposed to be directing her men
tai apparatus for her. AT Is minutes
to six each night, she sits down and
composes her mind into something
as nearly like a vacuum as she, being
an energetic sort of a young woman,
can make it. She is supposed to SIM
ply await whatever message is sent
her by the man with whom she has a
telepathic engagement at that time,
he in the meantime being engaged
in transferring his thoughts to her
In that Is minutes She watches for
any mental sign that may come-an
impulse, a desire, a wish-and this
she notes down in a small blank book
the duplicate Of which is being kept
by the man for comparison when the
two meet in their bodily selves. 1t
wouldn't be so if he were the only
man, and the IL minutes before six
the only time, but what is driving
this young woman to distraction is
the multiplicity Of telepathic en-
gagements that are piling up. She
has them made for a week ahead,
sometimes of the active, sometimes
of the passive sort, and she is never
quite sure these days whether the
thought she is thinking actually be-
longs to her or has been lent for the
occasion. When she is seized with a
mild desire for honey nOugat she is
not quite sure, you see, whether 1t is
because some one has willed that she
should spend. her money in this way
or whether her system is really de-
handing bit Of sweets. And when
she feels particularly unselfsh and
charitable she can no longer glow
with inward satisfaction because she
fears that at heart she is neither and
that her goodness is only the reflex
action Of the mind with which she
chances to be in telepathic commune
cation at that particular time. 1t
sounds exciting, but being oId-fash-
Toned I'm not quite sure that these
mental attentions would altogether
suffice or entirely take the place of
certain small courtesies. But there
is no doubt that the telepathic en-
gagement is a great saving in time
and money for the man.
