LAST OF THE STAR SERIES.
Fred 9. Hand Speaks About the Con-
cert of March 81.

To the Music-loving Public OF Scran-
ton and Vicinity:
The closing entertainment in the
Star Musical Series of the present sea-
son will take place at the Lyceum
theatre on Easter Monday evening.
March 81. when, in compliance with the
wishes of large number of sub
scribers and patrons, shall have the
honor of presenting Madame Schu-
mann-Heink, whose appearance last
season made an impression which Is
remembered with pleasure by all who
heard her at that time.
1t is an undsputed fact that Madame
Schumann-Hei is the worlds great
est contralto today. She was the
bright particular star in the galaxy
OF great artists specially selected for
the entertainment recently given in the
Metropolitan Opera House by the peo-
pie OF New York, In honor of Prince
Henry of Germany who was the city's
guest. Her temperance in Scranton
will undoubtedly give renewed delight
to the music-lovers OF this section who
appreciate her artistic worth
While 1 take great pride in bringing
to Scranton the most eminent artists,
anne Nordica and Paderewski am
none the less gratified to introduce
Scranton talent of high order, which
/ am sure we have with us. 1t gives
me special pleasure, therefore, to an
nounce, in addition to Madame Schu-
mann-Heink, that Miss Claire Horan,
OF this city, will make her first public
appearance as a pianist on this occa-
sion. Miss Horan has just returned
from Europe, after a four-year course
of study with the world-famed Lesch-
etZky, the teacher of Paderewski,
where she achieved high rank as an
artist, and the people of Scranton will
appreciate this opportunity to hear her.
Professor Theodore Hemberger and
his fine quartette will also appear The
splendid impression made by Professor
Hemberger and his admirable SYM
phony orchestra at the Nordica concert
in the new armory, is still remembered
favorably by those who We're present.
l believe ! am justified in predicting
for this closing concert success fully
as great in attendance and enjoyment
as that Of any of the preceding enter
tainments of the series.

TO BUILD new
CLUB HOUSE
PROPOSITION is TO BE CON-
sIDERED TONIGHT.
Scranton Club contemplates Putting
UP Handsome Building on
Washington Avenue, to Be Used
Exclusively for Club Purposes.
If the Views of the Building Com
mittee Are Favored, 1t Will Cost
Not Less Than $15o,oo0-Country
Club Also Acquires Property.

At meeting to be held tonight, the
Scranton club will discuss, and prob
ably decide, the question of building
for itself new home. Sentiment
strongly favors the construction of a
club house, and the likelihood is the
project will go through.
1t is proposed to put up structure
that will be exclusively IA club house.
Its cost will not be less than $3.50 900. if
the ideas of the building committee are
favored.
Options have been secured on three
desirable sites. the Broadbent and
Finch properties, on dagonally oppo-
site corners, at the intersection Of
Washington avenue and Mulberry
street. and the property south of and
adjoining city hall, on Washington ave-
nue.
The clubs present quarters, on the
upper floors of the Board of Trade
building, are somewhat cramped, and,
besides, do not permit of many access
sories now almost indispensable to a
modern club house. There was some
talk of putting UP club and office
building somewhat after the style Of
the Board of Trade building, just
across DIX court from the Board OF
Trade building, but the best Judgment
was that such q building would not be
a good investment now, and the propo-
sition was dropped.
1t may be that the new club house
Will not be a reality right away, but it
is surety that it will come within a
few years, and that when it does come
1t Will be something OF which the city
can be proud.
The Scranton Country club recently
purchased from the Pennsylvania Coal
company, for $4,000, the land which It
has had under lease and on which its
home is located. The club will expend
$4,000 in enlarging and improving the
house. Bowling alleys and gym
nasium are among the new things to
be provided. The improvements are to
be made at once

rooa For the ArsSa.

Food for the aged. according to a prominent English authority. should consist in the main of fruits and vege- tables, as the acids dissolve out the lime salts from the tissues and so pre- vent too early stiffness of the joints and other parts. Tea and coffee are best avoided. as they cause paralysis or want of proper control over the limbs. Pork, veal, cheese and much flesh food must be avoided, as a heaxy meal of any of these foods is liable to induce a stroke of apoplexy. All food should be simple. plainly cooked and taken in great moderation. lest the digestive or gans be overtaxed. Breakfast may consist of porridge and milk. whole wheat bread and milk or whole wheat bread and fruit and cup of cocoa or milk. Dinners may consist of yegeta- ble soup and bread. macironi. vegeta- bles and some simple plainly cooked nonfiesh dish; for dessert. stewed fruit and bread or plain rice. sago. tapioca or maclroni pudding If flesh or fish Is eaten, it should be of the most digesti- ble kinds, as lean beef or mutton or boiled or baked white n.e;ltpsl fish. and then in moderation. Supper may con- sist of whole wheat bread and fruit CT boiled onions. celery or beet root and cup of cocoa or milk and water. Food should not be taken for at least three hours before going to bed.

Birds In Indian Legends.

All primitive people regard the bird as specially wise and favored. Living in the air. he Is regarded as exercising control over atmospheric phenomena. and, knowing so well his own migra- tory seasons. the Indians observe his flights as foreboding i'll or good to themselves.
 The HurOns believe that the dove carries the souls of the departed hence. The Dakotas say the storm bird dwells so high as to be out of human vision and carries fresh water lake on his back, so that when he plumes himself 1t rains, when he winks his bright eyes It lightens. when he flaps his wings thunder rolls. The Alaskans hold much the same idea about the thunder bird"
 Among them all the eagle is mighty, brave. aspiring. the symbol of their warriors for apparent reasons. The kingfisher Is anxious to serve his broth CT man.

 In itself LaGrippe is very dangerous, but in its after effects 1t is one of the most deadly scourges that affiicts mankind. It shatters the nervous system, weakens the hearts action, and lays the foundation for heart dis. ease. The accompanying fever consumes the vitality and renders the patient suscep- tible to pneumonia, bronchitis and catarrh. The best treatment consists of Restorative Nervine which quiets the nerves, soothes the brain, restores strength and vitality to the entire system; Dr. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills. nerve tonic acting directly on the nerves of the digestive organs causing them to act in natural and healthy manner, and Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills which speedily relieve the torture of headache, backache and sore ness, the most common symptoms of Grip.

The Strain on the Eve.

There Is no reason why muscle or muscles of the eye should not flag out just us the muscles elsewhere do. Let one bear u weight all day long. does he not attribute his consequent headache to the heavy burden he has borne? It seems without elaborate thinking we could conceive of the results following upon prolonged use of the eye Nature has done all she could to protect and prolong the usefulness of the eye.
 No earthly architect ever yet planned a structure that would not yield. crum- ble and fall. and the house human, so exquisitely uplifted in curious and mysterious ways. falls and returns to dust more rapidly and surely than need be, for the reason that we do not real ize how much one part Is sustained or overthrown by another. One tiny mus cle is potent enough to disturb the whole economy. especially if intercur- rent diseases exist in addition to ''eye strain."

The Cook Was Safe.

An Italian prince who had Sicilian cook was once travelling to his pro- vincial estates. taking with him his cook. together with his entire kitchen force, without which. so fond was he of the delicacies they were wont to prepare. he rarely if ever travelled. At point where the narrow path along the precipice turned the angle of pro jecting rock the prince. at the head of his long cavalcade. heard a shriek and the splash of body falling into the torrent far below. With face white with horror he pulled up and, looking back. exclaimed: '.The cook! The cook! Oh. do not tell me it is the cook!'
 No, your excellency." cried voice from the rear, ''it is Don Prosdocemo." ]"
 The prince heaved sigh of intense relief. then said: ''Ah, only the chap lain! Thank goodness!''

A Sad Story.

Rowling is now very little practiced in the Shetland islands, although many eggs are secured annually. Many thrill ing stories of fowling adventure are told by the Shetlanders. A man who had undertaken to climb a certain steep cliff was neither very experi- enced nor very brave, although he boasted of being both. He pushed up- ward, however, briskly without look ing behind until he had got up about 15O feet, when he stopped to breathe. The pause was fatal to his self posses sion, and he called out in tones of ter TOT, "Men, men, am going-I am go- ing" But he still held on for q little, and it was not till he had shrieked many times "I am going" that he did fall headlong.
 His comrades, having thus been warned, moved the boat out of the way so that the poor fellow came sheer down into the deep water. Mighty was the plunge. but at length he rose to the surface, when of course he was in- stantly caught hold of and dragged into the boat After many gasps and much spluttering of sea water from his mouth his only remark was: "Eh. men. this is a sad story. I have lost my snuffboX. ."-"Sketches and Tales of Shetland" !"

Nepaul RajpOots Cause The Agh. tcrs to Be Murdere
 A Capuchin monk engaged in mis- sionary work in Nepaul, writing of Hindoo family life, remarks that it is very difficult for parents to make ad- vantageous matches for their daugh- ters. The Hindoos therefore find a means of ridding themselves of too many daughters by murdering them. It is well known fact that Hindoos of high birth, those who are called rajpoots, caused their daughters to be put to death after their birth by men specially engaged to do so. This crim- inal custom had become so general that in 1840 in the seventythree vil- lages of the Allahabad district there were only three girls under twelve 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.
 The English government has very naturally passed severe laws against this abominable crime. but to evade them the Hindoos allow their girls to live until the age of twelve, after which they do away with them by ad- ministerfng poison in small doses Orientals are past masters in the art of poisoning. and after some minute inquiries it transpires that in many districts twenty-five out of every hun dred girls have been got rid of in this manner. Those girls who have been spared they marry very early. gener- ally between fourteen and fifteen years, and that not according to their own choice, but by the will of their parents. which is decisive.
 An Indian family of good rank could not keep an unmarried daugh- ter. It would not only be a public shame, but also crime against reli- zion. To procure husbands for those who have not already found them there are number of Brahmans old and decrepit called Kulin Brahmans, who go about with the one object of going through the ceremony of the ''seven steps" with as many young girls as they can upon receipt of large sum of money. but who after ward leave the country and perhaps never see them again.-Pall Mall Ga Zette.
