oErIendso at the Grand.

On Tuesday, December 10th, at the
Grand Opera House will be presented
Edwin. Milton Royals comedy drama
OF Friends" The company Is Ger
tainly a strong one, and one well cal
culated to bring out the pure wit and
epigramatic bits that abound. The
story is a simple one. A poet and a
musician, young men with one dress
suit between them, and two good,
sized hearts live together and hunt
elusive fame Even when the woman
comes, the friendship stays, and Jack
helps Adrian through the difficulties
that hedge Marguerite about. She Is
a singer OF noble birth, but doesn't
know II. A director Of the opera
house does. and uses his knowledge
TO further his own ends. The interest
OF the story is admirably sustained
throughout, the plot Is consistent, the
incidents are crisp, and the dialogue is
forcible, witty and appropriate. With
desire to render the play in a truly
artistic and worthy manner Manager
Ben Stern has secured the following
well-known people ; Mrs. Selma
Fetter Royle, Miss Mabel Dlckey, Miss
Irene Grey. Mr.. e. Milton Royle, Mr..
Emmett Shackleford, Mr., II. b. Brad
ley and Mr. Wright Kramer.
The engagement is for one night
and It is safe TO predict that Salem will
echo the sentiments and Impressions
that the play created elsewhere. Usual
prices.

Kill Superfluous Girls
ndus of High Rank Daughters

A Capuchin monk engaged in mis-
sionary work in Nepaul, writing of
Hindu family life, remarks that 1t is
very difficult for parents to make ad-
vantageous matches for their daugh-
ters. The Hindus therefore find
means of ridding themselves Of too
many daughters by numbering them.
1t is a well known fact that Hindus, OF
high birth. those who are called
Rajputs caused their daughters to be
put to death after their birth by men
specially engaged to do so. This GRIM
inal custom had become so universal
that in 1910 in the seventy-three vii
lagos of the Allahabad district there
were only three girls under IL years
of age, and three years later in the
town of Agra there was not one to be
found under that age. All had been
put to death, says the London Pail
Mall Gazette.
The English government has very
naturally passed very severe laws
against this abominable crime, but to
eyade them the Hindus allow their
girls to live until the age of II. after
which they do away with them by ad-
ministering poison in small doses,

Have No Use For Clocks.

"No human being can know The time
of day as well as the sun, since with
out him there would be no time, ant
that is why we look to him whenever
we desire TO know what o'clock it is
That is what the shepherds of Bearu
say to tourists and others when they
ask them why they still use the anti
quated timepiece of their forefathers
and never think of buying an up-to
date watch or clock.
Each of these primitive timepieces
consists manly of a pillar, in which
the various hours of the day are
marked by grooves. The sun, as il
ascends and descends in the heavens
casts shadow on one division after
another, ana thus these simple rustics
are always able to form an approx
mate idea us to the time Of day. They
admit themselves that they are unable
10 tell it TO The minute or second, but
they claim that for all practical pm-
poses their solar clocks are all that
they need.

Story of the Killing
of the Last
Big Buffalo Bull

The following account of the killing
of the last big buffalo bull appears i'll
the Macleod Gazette in the form of a
letter signed Wyoming Bill":
Early in November, 1887, John Nolan
and other half-breeds were near the
forks OF the Red Deer and South
saskatchewan when they came across
a bunch of eleven buffalo, one of the
bunch being n very large bull.
They killed the big bull, two cows
and calf and brought them into
Swift Current. j. Grant got the head
of the bull and Curry Bros, got the
two cows heads and hide and the calf
No doubt atterward the half-breeds
cleaned out the rest of the bunch, for
they Were never heard of again.
Hine of Winnipeg mounted the bull' S
head and in 1893 it was loaned to the
government and was sent to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, where it was
much admired.

According to American Medicine, the

According TO American Medicine, the
dsinfection of paper money should at
tract the attention OF hygienists.
When patients with smallpox or other
contagious diseases are quarantned
they must pay for food, etc, and it is
certain that bills sent by them may be
carriers Of contagion. 1t is almost
impossible for the larger banks to car
ry out thorough dsinfection of money
with the present devices, and for the
small stores and working men it is
more difficult. A simple, cheap and
effective disinfection device is highly
desirable. Banks may lessen the
danger by returning to Washington
for redemption notes that are not only
badly soiled or damaged, but that are
slightly so. 1t would be well is the
English system of redemption were
also in use in our country. Our Gov.
ernment should be more liberal to
banks in this respect.

Sldy Peasants Bdthe in the
Sacred Waters of the Jordan


Is occupied in prayer and silent deVo-
ton. To many pilgrims this occasion
is one of the greatest life can bring
namely, to be permitted not only 10
visit the Jordan, but actually to Dathe
in its sacred waters. Suddenly chant
ing is heard, and the crowd quickly
opens to let procession OF purple
clad ecclesiastics pass to the water,
then the pilgrims close in again, and
station themselves along the banks,
eager and watchful. And now, quite
reveTently, jeweled cross is laid by
the patriarch on the surface OF the
stream to bless it, and no sooner does
the sacred symbol touch the water
than dive is made into it by the
enthusiastic crowd, which splashes and
prays and wallows and dips-alto-
gether a strange scene.
Such is the baptism, and the longer
it lasts the greater the merit the pill
grim will enjoy. All dripping with
water. each shroud is now wrung out
and slowed away to serve as the cere-
cloth when the pilgrimage of life is
over, and the body is ready for the
grave. As the traveller rides away the
next day to Jerusalem, he will see
these childlike peasants, bedraggled
with mud, and fatigued by constant
sleeplessness, plodding along toward
the Holy City chanting and singing as
they go, and leaning on their sticks
of reed. But there is now a smile
on their faces, and joy in their hearts,
for have they not bathed in the waters
of the Jordan?-London Traveller.

George Washington, when he was
President of the United States, rode in
coach drawn by six horses. This
coach was made in England and it ar
rived in New York in 1888. The body
and wheels were of cream color, with
pilt relief, and part of the sides and
fronts were shaded by green Venetian
blinds. Upon each of the four panels
was a picture emblematic of one of the
four seasons. The original Indian
name of New York was Manhattan. In
January, 1855. Congress met in Federal
Hall. at the corner of Wall and Nassau
streets. and this city was the national
capital for five years, says the Brook

Captain Sterling was building canoe
from three logs, and as he had plenty
Of time, it occurred to him to use two
more logs and put on a deck. On his
first trip to Baltimore with this pecu-
liar craft he was hailed many times by
passing vessels, whose captains invari-
ably asked what was the name of the
queer vessel. To each inquiry Captain
Sterling replied: It's bugs eye Ii
Captain Sterling We're living at the

The name stuck to the craft, and it
has been known ever since as the bug
eye. The first vessel of this class was
called Il punt, and was made from ono
log followed out; then came the canoe,
and, finally, the most complete vessel
of all-the bugeye.
"The bugeye is now the most popular
vessel among oystermen in Somerset
County, and at least 100 new vessels
of this type are built every year. Some
of them are Of at least ten feet beam,

spot where there is any considerable
