There is not much call for elaborate
monotony I'm the play, but the setting
is all that could be desired. The story
OF Young Mrs Winthrop" has a moral
that perhaps was not wholly neglected
by those for whom IL was spe cially in

necessity of making the hsme and its
duties the first thing to l.. considered
i'm the lives of the married.
Mr.. Wright Huntington plays the part
OF the husband and man OF business In a
way that shows his versatility and abil-
ity as an actor. The pathos OF the part
he carefully portrays and he at the same
time is never lacking i'm the force re-
quired at other times. He showed the
parents sorrow and anxiety in the scene
when the death of the child is whispered
to the father and mother i'm a manner
that won the earnest approval of the
audience
Miss Isis Maynard, as Constance Win
throp. played a difficult part we'll She
was the discouraged and angered wife
when the occasion seemed TO demand
that view of the character and she was
gentle, pathetic and forgiving in the
other scenes OF the play. Her part
is one of deep interest for almost every
one and she does the work so well that
she won very warm commentator from
the audience.

The Duty on Cats.

How many persons know that cats
are dutible, and that if any common
feline is imported it is subject to
tariff of twenty per cent, ad valorem?
The plain, frowsy pauper cat of the
old world cannot get into this coun-
try without paying for the privilege.
And as very few of that kind of cats
can do SO there really is no great
danger of serious invasion of this
sort. Our Toms and Tables can
monopolize the back fences at night
and work their own sweet will with
rats and mice with no alien rival to
swell the chorus of discord or divide
the predaceous spoil. But the rule
does not apply to cats ofhigh degree.
The facts are brought out through a
recent decision by the Secretary of
the Treasury. A law was passed in
1897 for the benefit of those engaged
in breeding pure blooded animals for
farm use. Under this law societies
properly vouched for furnish stud
books, which contain records of ami
mails which it is desired to import,
and these are admitted free of duty.
The list includes horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, goats, chickens and other live
stock.
The law has not been construed to
cover cats. Last week the Secretary
of the Treasury issued instructions
to collectors of customs requiring
that all cats brought into the coun-
try for breeding purposes be allowed
to come in duty free. The record of
different families of cats mentioned
embraces Angora and Persian cats,
which are long-haired, and Siamese,
Manx, Mexican, Abyssinian, Indian,
Russian and Japanese, which are
short haired. But let no ordinary
foreign cat try to come in. If it does
it will find itself classified under the
head of call other live animals not
specifically provided for" in the law
and subject to a duty of twenty per
cent of it's declared value.

An Alabama Man Who Was Among His

How many of the rs, 900, 900 of in
habitants of the United States heard
Daniel Webster deliver his address at
the laying of the cornerstone Of
Bunker Hill Monument, and saw
Lafayette uncover himself in the
presence of the acclaimiDg nultitudes
on that occasion? One of them lives
in this city. To-day april 29) he
is enjoying the ninety. first anniver-
sary of his birth in pretty cottage
on the South Highlands, happy in
the ministrations of a sweet-faced
daughter and the memories of a life
of usefulness. He is James Brazer of
1929 Fourteenth Avenue, South.
"I'll tell you how / came to be
there, on that 18th of June, 1925, "
said Mr.. Brezer. "My father was a
Mason and had part in the parade,

ons, and carried golden box, in
which there was lock of General

in the battle of Bunker Hill.
"By the way, my grandmother
father, Capt. Henry Farewell, was at
Bunker Hill, and on the retreat was
shot in the breast, mind you, with

officer, believing my grandmother's
father was mortally wounded, order
ed him removed to the roadside, but
he raised himself on his elbow and
cried, | am not dead; will live to

die until thirty-three years after

between England and France, and

Z" Home Nursinu. I"

We have before us copy of new
publication, entitled "Home Nur-
sing" The object of the book is to
give practical instructions how to
take care of the sick by the inexper-
fenced. In training schools for nurses,
instructions are of course given in all
matters of this kind, but let any
woman ask herself. "Could / give a
bath to a person in bed without wet
ting the clothing, or change the
undersheet while the bed was occu-
pied?" and she will smile at the
seeming impossibility; yet when she
is shown, she will wonder why she did
not discover the right way herself.
In this little book practical in
structions are given for the perfor-
nance of all necessary ffces pertain
ing to the sick. The knowledge OF
any of them is not taken granted,
and the writer has tried to DO it in
such a plain, simple manner that no
one need mistake the easiest way.
