The liehts-they are something. In mod

OF greatest Importance. The proper manir.-
ulation Of them is a science In itself. How
to get certain picture-effect by throwing
one light upon one grouping Of stage cos
tunes and scenery. and how to get an en-
tirely different effect with another light
and another color group-that is big ques-
ton. In this. as in acting. the effort should
be to suggest nature; not to dumbly coun-
terfeit and drearily commonplace, OF
course; but to ingeniously exaggerate the
beautiful. the interesting. the impressive,
the inspiring.

Take. for instance. the shifting of coll

This rule should be observed in producins;
stage shadows. Instead Of square films.
set into opaque frames, likewise square,
there should be a continuous transparent
sheet; and. instead OF one color abruptly
following another. the changes should be
gradual-through a scale of tints to the par
ticular color desired. This change need
not be tiresomsly slow to be gradual; ma
ture's shiftings Of light are frequently
rapid. yet they are never abrupt.
The successful doing OF this requires

No Noxious Doses. NO Weakening of the
Nerves. Pleasant and Positive Cure
for the Liquor Habit.

It is now generally known and
understood that drunkenness is dis
ease and not weakness. A body filled
with poison, and nerves completely
shattered by periodical or constant use
of intoxicating liquors, requires an an

MEET THE TOWN BOARD.
Haynes and Clausen Seek a Franchise for
Their Line to Truesdell.

Patrick F. Haynes and Gustav l..
C1ausen, of Chicago, were in Kenosha
this afternoon meeting with the mem
bers of the Town Board of Pleasant
Prairie in regard to the presenta ton
of an ordinance to the Board asking
for a franchise for the railway from
this city to Truesde11. The Board will
probably be called in special session in
the near future to take some action in
regard to the matter.
The farmers residing along the right

very anxious to see the line finished
during the present year and many of
them are giving the road a great deal
of support in assisting to secure the
signatures of wavering ones to the
petition to the Town Board for the
franchise.
1t is impossible to tell how some of
the mem bers of the Board stand on
the proposition of the railway promot-
ers, but one of them stated this morn
ing that he thought that there was lit
tie doubt but that the town would con-
sent to the construction of the road.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inf1aned you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

Governor La Toilette Approves Bill
to Tax All Ice Removed From
Lakes in Wisconsin.
1T HITS A KENOsHA INDUSTRY
Knickerbocker Ice Company of Chicago
May be Forced to Give Up It's Vast
Holdings in This County.

Contrary to all expectations, the bill
placing tax of ten cents ton on all
lake ice sent out of Wisconsin was
approved by the Governor Thursday,
and one of the main industries of the
county of Kenosha dealt hard blow IS
the result of the approval of the Gov
ernor. In sending his approval of the
bill Governor La Toilette held that the
law was perfectly constitutional, as
the ten cents ton charged on the ice
was not to be considered as tax, but
rather as the purchase price of the ice.
In this regard the Governor held that
all ice on meandered lakes in the State
was the property of the State, and in
1evying this tax the State simply pro-
vided for the sale of the ice to the Chi
cago companies.
The effect of the law will be far
reaching in this county. For the past
eight or ten years Kenosha county has
been developing the ice cutting indus
try, until at the present time almost
one half the ice sold by the great Chi
cago companies is harvested on the
lakes of Kenosha county. During the
winter just closed the three big COM
panies cut in the neighborhood of
100000 tons of ice on Kenosha county
lakes, and they have arranged to even
extend the industry during the coming
year. The approval of the ice tax bill
came like bolt from clear sky, and
as yet the managers of the big COM
panies have not decided whether they
will continue to cut ice in this county
or not.
It is barely possible that, with the
close of the season, the company will
no longer agree to pay the tax and will
either seek to have the law declared
unconstitutional, or they will seek
new lake region for development.
Should the latter course be adopted
Kenosha county will lose one of its
greatest industries. During the Win
ter just passed thousands of men were
employed in the harvesting of the ice
crop.

EGG-PACKING TESTS.
Summary of Valuable Report Is
sued by the New York State
Experiment Station.

A few of the methods of packing
eggs dry for keeping have been tried
at the New York experiment station
and reported upon. When fresh the
eggs were wiped with rag saturated
with fat or oil which had been mixed
with some antiseptic, and were packed
tightly in salt, bran, etc. Eggs packed
in salt during April or May, and which
had been wiped with cottonseed oil to
which had been added boracic acid,
kept from four to five months with a
loss of nearly one-third, the quality
of those served not being good. Eggs
packed in bran after the same pre-
liminary handling were all spoiled
after four months. Eggs packed in
salt during March and April, after
wiping with vaseline to which salicylic
acid had been added, kept four or five
months without loss; the quality was
much superior to that of any ordinary
lined eggs.
These packed eggs were kept in
barn cellar, the temperature of which
varied from 60 to 70 degrees Fahren-
heit, and each box was turned once
every two days. Little difference was
observed in the keeping of fertile or
infertile eggs, and no difference was
noticeable in the keeping qualities Of
eggs from different fowls or from
those under different rations.

ANTIPATHiES OF DOGS.
crent Aversion Is shown to Some In
animate Objects by the
CANNES.

Persons who are fond of dogs cannot
fail to notice what very odd antipathies
they take. A pug dog owned bp an up
town man showed the greatest aversion
to bags of charcoal, purchased by the
owner in winter to conserve the heat OF
the fire. If one of these bags was placed
across the threshold of room the dog
would bark and spring at 1t with the
greatest demonstration of ferocity OF
which a dog is capable; but he would
not touch the offending object
The production of the charcoal bag
was found to be much more effective
punishment and means of restraint
than the severest whipping.
A man who heard this story told an
another, says the Philadelphia Record,
concerning his Gordon setter, which
manifests the most extravagant terror
at the sight of bicycle pump. AT the
approach of the pump he will scurry
away, barking shrilly in the widest
excitement. At times he will become
so Infatuated as to leap toward it, but
he always turns tail before actually
touching it, and the sight of the pump
will subdue him when all other meth
DDS of correction fail.

INDUSTRY OF A TINY BIRD.
It's Enormous Appetite Keeps the
Little Wren Busy During Its
Waking Hours.

One of the most industrious of
birds is the wren. It's industry is
probably due to its appetite, which
is seemingly Unsuitable. 1t seems to
be always hungry and is ever on the
alert for means to satisfy the crav-
ings of it's appetite.
This is the season of the year when
the city man returns from his two
weeks outing in the woods, prlmed
up with more accumulated knowl-
edge than the good old man with
the hoe" has been able to acquire in
a lifetime. One of him, who has been
spending the vacation time in Vir-
ginia, furnishes details as to the
abnormal cravings for food displayed
by young wrens. He found a nest
and took up a position where he
could walch at his leisure. The moth
err wren made 10 trips to the nest
within four hours and a half, and
this was the bill of fare which the
three baby birds consumed:
Twenty green caterpillars, 16 May
flies, 20 unidentified insects, II
worms, two bugs, ten grasshoppers,
seven spiders and a chrysalis or two.
