LIKES THE PROBLEM PLAY.
an Impeeunious Young
New Yorker.

"They can say what they like Of the
problem play" said Reggie, according
to the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser, "but it's been a good friend to
us fellows that haven't much money
TO spend on other people. Why, be-
fore the problem play came into ex-
istence a chap was expected to take the
girls to the theater to see all the new
things, and, of course, in many cases
that meant the girls mother, too, and
supper for three after the play and a
carriage, and, by Jove, to do that twice
a week made a big hole in beggar's
allowance.
'But the playwrighting fellows got
wicked and wrote frislIy pieces, and
now one can go alone or stay away al
together, just as one pleases. It's a
case of free country and rights of the
individual. We owe those dramatic
chaps a big debt, and we ought to be
grateful No one expects us to invite
the girls, with or without their mann

suppose the mammas would mind GO

won't go, principally because they've

would go, but they don't expect you to

At this season in particular, ow
ing TO atmospheric conditions, any
thing likely to produce odors will
be very likely to emit them. Es-
peoially is this the case with outside
closets and while they may be in a
reasonably good condition yet they
may and probably will be more CT
less offensive. An excellent rem
edy is the frequent use of small
quantity of fresh earth. This is
slight trouble and if all would take
the precaution to procure a box and
fill it and place it for convenient use
much of the annoyance now exper-
fenced would be wholly obviate1.
Let every householder try this sim
pie remedy.

HIGHLY CIVILIZED ANc1ENTs.
Contents OF Long Hurled TOmbs show
Fine work of EARLY
Artisans.

The middle-aged man who has ex-
plored life to weariness and whom nov
els will no longer stir may find his
sense Of mystery and wonder excited
anew by the account of discoveries in
buried Egypt, says the London Out
look. Prof. Flinders Petrie, who has
devoted his life to exploration of the
soil and research into the history of
that ancient land, completed last week
a series of highly instructive lectures
at the Royal institution. Long-buried
tombs of ancient kings have been dis
covered and explored, aud, although in
nearly all cases these have been pre-
viously pillaged in the Roman age,
enough of the contents remain un.
broken or overlooked till now to afford
ground for reconstructing, in outline
at least, a wonderful and unsuspec cted
civilization. When we are shown, for
example, specimens of goldsmith's
work dating from 4,75O years before
the Christian era, which have never
been surpassed since in technical skill,
working of designs, variety of form
and perfection of soldering, we are
sobered somewhat in our belief that
the process of time means progress
and that the present is the best and
noblest era of civilization. We are
proud, for instance, Of the products
OF modern steam spinning and weav-
ing Yet the linen woven 5000 years
ago was finer in thread and closer in
web than our finest cambric.
