THE ANNUAL UPHEAvAL.

have always had a masculine hor- TOT of that time honored, feminine car al--housecleaning. It may seem q misnomer to so designate this periodic war on germs and dust, bur truly the affair is really one grand sweet song for most women. While it is godlike to be clean and the desire to overhaul everything is truly commendable, yet, like all good things, it is frequently overdone. Why woman will deiiber- ately wear herself out. plunging in and doing work that is depriving some Gn- fortunate person of a way to make an honest dollar-proyiding she doesn't do it for reasons of enforced economy-is a mystery There seems to be q fas- cination about this kind of warfare that is irresistible to womenkind. She tears around all the springtirne for nothing else. neglecting her health, hus- band and children-for what: Per haps in madame's estimation it is worth while to become cross and irri- table, tired out and sallow-f faced, so that the house may shine; but how much better does it look than Mrs Nextdoors, who says frankly she merely bossed the job, as there would
 
 was dead and her husbands second wife would no doubt criticize the way it looked, even if she wore her fingers to the bone fixing up in applepie order. At any rate Mi Nextdoor didn't have to eat his meals on the piano and go out in the barn to sit down and smoke his pipe. She didn't believe in having the entire house upset simultaneously, but room by room is renovated in turn.
 It is wise woman who will saeri- fee some bit of extravaganza in dress to have the heavy part of 1he spring cleaning done by others if she cannot otherwise afford to do so. She will save herself for something more worth while than beating rugs and hanging out of windows scrubbing ihe exterior It may sound like rank heresy to say all this, but it is merely a friendly word of warning to those of my fem mine readers who belong to the too ambitious type, who consider it a neg lect of duty to entrust the bulk of tIe housekeeping to servants. But is the bad case of nerves" and backache which follows the strenuous course an acquisition to domestic happiness? l? Do your husband and children desire spick-and-span house at the COST of your strength and temper? Of course not. So. my dear reader, be sensible and don't break your neck chasing cobwebs. Don't let it asyitate your soul because you can't do everything in a minute. There is more than one day coming In which your house may be. cleaned-if there isn't what matters it if never cleaned? Don't let life be- come a burden for the next six weeks to that precious family of yours, and make them wish they had lived in the day of cave dwellers. Life is too short and dust accumplates too quickly to worry ones self to death about it. This is my advice-and now go ahead and tear your house to pieces ;n any way that you enjoy best; for when all is said and done the houselleeper does enjoy it even if she suffers foc 1T after ward rd.-Hartford Post.

quent scenes The following two acts are filled mainly with the chill dren. Fan Fan and Claude. All is so natural, so tender and so brave, that these two acts are an idyl which might easily serve as a play without the preceding or succeeding acts. 4 uniformity of dramatic power and skill is apparent from the first scene to the last, no situation or climax falling into commonplace or insignifi- canoe. and each action without the slightest exaggeration. To sum it all up, it is pre-eminently natural. The realistic features of the play are enhanced by the admirable scenic eff fleets. which are. as heretofore, made feature of the production. The company which delineates the char acters in the drama is excellent, com prising many of the old favorites, in- cluding Miss Neva Harrison as Fan Fan. Katherine Vincent. Arthur Cog liser. Del La Barre, James Baum, c. Bodden. Prominent among the new members of the company are Ray Scott, who has ben specially engaged to play Claude. Jessie Lansing and Alice Ethel Hamilton. Prices are popular.

WISHED HE WAS A MOSQUITO.

! It was before the hour of recess in one of the lower grades of a primary school in the northwest part of the city. The class had just finished a reading lesson and was started on arithmetic. A lesson in multiplication
 was given, and the chatter of pencils over the slates. coupled with the con- stant hum of the tots in figuring out the examples, made. a noise in the room not unlike that in a machine shop. AL though it was early in the day, the teacher looked weary, for she had a class of about 30 boys and p girls, and the boys were mischieyous lot and
 up to all the school tricks of the day.
 There was one little fellow seated on the last form that seemed to be strug
 gling harder than the rest to accom- piish the task before him. Finally he let his slate fall to the desk, and with a bang his pencil dropped on the floor, breaking into many pieces. He threw
 his elbow to the desk and held his head in his hand. There was an, atti- tude of don't carev about him, and all this attracted the teacher, who upon going to where he was seated, found the example on his slate done in four different ways and each with differ
 ent result. Whats the matter?s ask
 ed the teacher. There was no reply. and the teacher again asked, Cant
 you do the example?'' The boy by
 this time had evidently lost his bash fulness and answered. ..No'm, I wish I
 was a moskeeter, though Why.
 that's a peculiar wish to make, said the teacher; isn't there something
 nicer than that to long for?' Well 2
 began the diminutive lad papa told
 me last night that moskeeter multiply so fast.''
 The recess bell then rang and pre- vented an uproar among the children, although the teacher who now tells the story says she has many a good laugh when she thinks Of the incident. Phil adelphia Telegraph.

Theatrical
 Fraterna1
VAUDEVILLE AT THR JACQUES

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Of the many fine acts that go to make this weeks show at the Jacques of such special excellence none has attracted more admiring at tention than the conversation act of the Quigley brothers. There is an originality and brightness about their talk, and this is delivered in a quaint way that stamps the act as decidedly novel among its kind. The Irish co- median of the pair tells his jokes in the natural style that is characteristic of the bright Irishman in real life rather than of the stage type, and al- together the act is one that gives a new and more creditable illustration of the true Irish wit than we are ac- customed to on the stage. Then there are among the other acts so much comedy and novelty as to make the show one to enthuse over, as is being done all the week. Prices are 10 and 20 cents afternoons, ladies 10; evening prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

MAN AND HIS COLLARS.

In the frequent proclamation of the man by his apparel a mans shirt collar takes very decided part 4 man does not clothe his neck with a collar or a particular shape merely because that particular shape suits the con formation of his neck. You see men With long necks who affect collars turned down to their shoulder blades. You also see men of apoplectie diathe- SIS, ana With no neck at all to speak or, who strangle themselves n tight all rounders. Why should the one cul- tlVate an uncalled for decollette ap- pearance and the other exhibit equally uncalled for s'collared head?' It is tnelf individual way of proclaiming themselves, I take it. You can hardly imagine MT Balfour, for instance. in an all rounder; and Mir Chamberlain would be unrecognizabIe ln the latest phase of neckwear known as the Ioby' collar. This is an adaptat;cn TOT children of larger growth of the more expansive collar you sec dis played over the jacket of lower form boy. It Is much in favor, I observe With undergraduate youth, and may be taken to proclaim them. Nj. Rostanl and certain school of French olay
  wrights affect the collar of their grand Fathers, who turned down it's points over the cascade of tremendous black satin cravat For advertisement uur- poses, the Rostand collar may be recommended, no doubt, but it is diifi. cut to conceive that anyone would mount 1t for any other purpose. Still. the ways of the collar wearers are not always to be thus explained. At least when you behold q man seated oppo- site you at dinner in a collar with the points carefully. arranged so as to catch the angle of his jaw Whenever he moves his head a hairs breadth out of the straight line and to bring tears into his eyes should he happen to dis remember you can hardly suppose that he wears that collar for the purpose ef proclaiming himself of weak mind.-- 1 Pail Mall Gazette.

POLITE BUT SPUNKY.
A German Boy Whose Father Was
 Proud of Him.


 Proud of Him.
 The following story is told of a German, who, after making a fortune as saloon keeper, decided to move out upon small farm in the suburbs Of Philadelphia. Soon after his change of residence, during a visit to the city, he met one of his former neighbors. MT Schmidt, beaming all over with smiles, told him how glad he was to see him, 'sand,'' says he you must gome and see my place. And you must see leetle Yawcob- since ye moved oud, he vas shust so pefllte and shpunky as can pe." Several months after the neighbor paid Mir Schmidt visit, and after supper they were sitting out upon the lawn, while little Yawcob was busy making mud pies on the driveway. Suddenly Mr Schmidt called out: 'Yawcobp' Well. fader?'' said Yaw- cob. "Nodding," said MT Schmidt. and turning to his visitor ha remark ed: You see, he is perlite; he al- ways answers me init reshpeck.'' Five minutes later the same test of Yaw- cob's politeness was made, with the same fattering result. 'sYou see,' observed the proud father, ssI can call so often as I please, and he always reblies nit reshpeck."
 After another brief spell of conver- sation the old gentleman again dis turbed Yawcob in his amusement Like flash the boy turned and yelled out: ''Vader, if you don't shut up. I'll hit you in de face" For & mo- ment the father was nonplussed, but gradually a smile broke over his face as he remarked: ''You see. he ish sphunky, too"

cHAuNCEY oLCoTr.

Another big audience was present at PoIi's theater last night to see Chauncey Olcott in his new comedy Of "Garrett O'Magh" The play was nicely staged and the company is a fairly good one, but Olcott has gone back very fast as singer and it is a hard strain for him in some of his songs to take the notes. The play was dressed very neatly and the stage settings are elaborate and rich Miss Mary Moran, who plays the part of Josephine, the French maid, gives a unique conception of the character and her work was very fayorabiy re- ceiyed- She was one of the best of the company. Miss Margaret Fitzpat- Tick as Mrs Mary Devlin, Edith Bar Ter as Eileen Nagle and Charles M. Collins as Roger Nagle wefe also very Interesting in their parts.

RESTING THE CLOTHING.

Clothes last much longer and look
far fresher if not worn too fire.
quently. If a wooden dress looks
dusty and shabby, it may be wonder
fully rejuvenated by brushing and
airing it well out of doors and then
hanging it away in a dark closet for
a week or two. When taken out it
will look quite fresh and %wearable;
the wrinkles gone, color revived and
odors imperceptible. A color that re-
spends to this treatment especially
we'll is dark green; there seems to be
some quality in the dye that renews
it remarkably and seems to eat up
small spots of dirt or grease, after
hanging away in the dark, says
American Queen.
Take off the dress you have worn
all day, shake the dust off, turn it
wrong side out, and hang it out in
the sun or frosty air. This will soon
dispense the odors caused by the ex-
udations of the body which give
such an unwholesome air to wooden
clothes that are worn constantly
without proper airing. Take off the
shoes you have worn all day, brush
or wipe off the dust and set them on
the window sill or in a good current
of air over night.
In the morning put on another
dress and another pair of shoes.
Keep two or more sets going in this
way, and you will feel yourself well
repaid, not only in the greater
length of days afforded the garments,
but in the added freshness and
sweetness that will surround you
daily.

RUNG UP HUSBANDS WAGES.
The CoAductor's Wife Makes - Fine
T1ssse Paper Lamp shade with
His Punch.

Mackenzie is a conductor on an owl
train on the 81" consequently he does
his sleeping in the daytime, says the
Chicago Record-Herald.
Now, as everyone knows who has
had occasion to use the elevated after
IL o'clock, the fares, after passing GER
tain points on the line, are collected
by the conductors, who for the pur-
pose of registration, carry the little
bell punches once so familiar on the
surface lines.
One afternoon lately he was reused
from his diurnal slumber by his indus
trious little wife, who brought out for
his admiration a lamp shade made of
colored tissue paper. She made it
with her own pretty hands, and it's
scalloped border was perforated with
innumerable little holes, through
which the light Of the parlor lamp
would fall on the table.
"Tell me if you think it pretty" de-
manded Mrs. Mackenzie, holding the
shade out for her husband to in
spect it.
1T looks lovely" began Mackenzie;

but as he scrutinized it more closely
he turned pale and said, hoarsely:

eyes, DEAR" said his dear little wife,
blithely, while you were asleep. It
was SO convenient to punch holes with.
But what makes you speak that way"
demanded the little woman, greatly
alarmed at the sudden change which
had come over the unfortunate Mac
kenzie.
ooh, nothing" he replied, "only
you've rung up enough fares on that
lamp shade to use up six months sal
airy. Every one of those holes will cost
me five cents, that's all"
And the unhappy Mackenzie, in the
agony of his spirit, groaned aloud.

SHOULD GO TO- COLLEGE.
of Attending a School OF Higher
Learning.

The best answer that can be given
to the question: "Why should the
girl go to college?" is the college
girl herself as she goes forth
equipped in body, mind and soul for
her life work. Indeed, to those who
know her best, no other answer
seems necessary. But until she and
time shall have convinced the ques-
TONERS, another answer-the most
obvious one, perhaps-is to be found
in the declared purpose of the col
lege; that is the intellectual. In a
broad sense it comprehends not only
that which disciplines and enlightens
the understanding, but also whatever
corrects the temper, cultivates the
taste and forms the and
habits. What girl able to secure it
will not be the stronger, nobler wom-
an for the development and training
afforded by the many-sided life of
the woman's college of to-day?
Surely not she who has her own way
to make in the worlo, says Woman's
Home Companion. Whatever the diff
ffculties and problems of her field
of labor, she will meet them with
the power and confidence she has
gained by meeting similar ones in
the college world. She has served an
apprenticeship to the business of
life-has come to know others and,
more important still, to know her
self.
