DEAF MUTES AT THE PLAY.
More of the UnfOrtunates Than Usual
~ the Theater Daring the
Past Season.

"One curious phase of the theatric-
al business of the past season has
been the number of deaf mutes in the
audiences" said the head usher of
New York theater. For several
years a good many deaf mutes have
been attending performances of pan
o<amas, spectacular plays and high
~ spiced melodramas, but this year
they seem to have declared them
selves in favor of high art, and have
patronized dramas that are short on
action, but long on talk. Deaf mutes
generally attend the theater in a
party. We have had them come to
our house in winter in squads of 20
or 80. Mute auditors of a play al
ways buy good seats. Being deprived

PENNSYLVANIA is the latest state that
is trying to encourage and regulate
marriage by new methods. Repre-
sentative Roth, of Lehigh, introduced
a bill in the state Legislature lately
which provides that a male citizen of
Pennsylvania over 40 years Old max
ing application for marriage license
shall pay to the clerk of courts a Ii
cense fee of 500. This is to be turned
into the state treasury for the pur-
pose of maintaining homes for women
over 40 years old who have not had a
suitable opportunity or offer of mar
riage and have not means sufficient
to keep themselves in clothes and
spending money. Any bachelor over
40 years who shall go outside of the
state for a wife shall pay 500 into the
state treasury. The act is irrevoeable
and can never be repe aled without the
consent of the majority of the old
women who have been regularly add
mitted to the homes established for
them.-Chicago American.

of enjoyment through one of their
senses, they have to make up for the
loss by catering to the sense of sight
and they choose seats that give a
clear view of the stage. Another
thing noticeable about them is the
enthusiasm with which they applaud.
'At first blush it might seem strange
to see so many of the deaf and dumb
fiocking to the theater, but they are
really but little worse off than the av-
erage American who goes to see play
in a foreign tongue. The American
hears, but as he is unable to under
stand two words of the dialogue he
has to depend upon his eyes for his
knowledge of the action, so in that re-
spect he and the mutes are quits"

A clustering young woman, out of

rushed up the steps Of the mint the
other day, and asked to be directed
to the bureau of information.
There isn't any," replied the uni

ALCOHOL AS A MEDICINE.
Experience Demonstrates That There
Is No Excuse Whatever for Using
1t in That Capacity.

1t is very common thing even
among strong temperance people to
use wine or liquors for nearly every
ailment; it is still considered uni
versal remedy for everything. How
much of this idea is true we can learn
from the words of a very prominent
physician and temperance worker:
ut is well that the human nature is
so strong, that it can resist not only
the sickness but also the alcohol"
In fact, there is at the present
time no excuse whatever for using al
'cohol as a medicine. The physiolog-
ical action of it is such that it not
only does not help where it is intend
ed to do so, but instead causes much
harm; acting sometimes quite con-
trary from what it is expected. Espe-
'cially is this the case when an alco-
holic drink, whether warm or cold is
given for a cold or for any lung or
throat trouble. AS is well known, al
cohol lowers the temporal ure of the
body to such an extent that even the
hot drink does no good. The very
best thing for cold is hot egg lem
'onade. Heat is needed and alcohol
takes away the natural heat of the
body.
- 1t is about the same in stomach
troubles. Alcohol burns the stomach
and temporarily paralyzes the feel
ing of pain. But it also infiames the
stomach, and thus causes a much
worse trouble than the one it is
hoped to cure.
Examples can be multiplied; it is
just the same with everything. AL
'cohol is of no use as a medicine.
But, you ask, why do so many doc
tors prescribe liquors, wines and malt
beverages for sick people? First, I
will say, that the number of doctors
doing so grows smaller every day.
Further, that they do not prescribe
them because they are convinced of
their good effects, but simply because
their patients want them.
A temperance man called a doctor
to his sick wife. "She must have
some port wine," said the doctor.
@'No," the man answered, "she is
temperance woman and will not take
wine"
That is the most sensible thing I
have heard for long time. Give her
some unfermented grape juice, that
is a hundred times better"
Every doctor who keeps up with
the times would say the same thing,
if he could give his honest opinion.
Only few years ago most medi
cine was given in the form of strong
alcoholic tinctures o: extracts. To
dag the favorite form is a powder or
compressed tablet? Why? Be
cause the alcohol did as much harm
as the medicine did good.

REV THOMAS Dixon, Jr., is map
who looks like an overgrown boy,
six feet and more in height, with
long arms and longer legs. He looks
akward when you first see him, as
he slouches toward the front of the
platform, with his heavy black hair
tumbled and his heavy eyebrows
contracted, and he looks still more
akward as he grasps his thin chin
in his long bony hand and peers at
the people before him. But when
he begins to talk and move in con-
cert with his sentences, you remem
Der only that he is giving most
brilliant display of vocal fireworks.
He begins like race horse working
the first quarter, develops into a
good sized Empire State Express
making up lost time, and before one
realizes what is happening he is a
streak of chain lightning, zig gag
ging up and down and around the
paths of 1oratory at rate ordinarily
thought impossible. Sometimes he
is comedian of the Sol Smith Rus
sell type, sometimes he is mono
loguing minstrel like Lew Dockstad
er, then he becomes Pitehfork Till
man in disguise or John McCul-
Tough laundering forth his sen
fences. But more often he is Dixon.
