BIG ATTENDANCE AT SHOW
Re$ardless Of the Disagreeable Weather
Yesterday and Last Night.

there are Introductory exercises at
this entertainment that have Mont
Pelee skinned a block. and yet no
effort is made to bring these features
into prominence.
Reference is made to Mile. Roberta, |
who gives about the most artistic per |
formance to be seen anywhere in the |
fair The word artistic is used shere
erence to color, form and plastic beau |
".
Mile. Roberta is a graduate Of the
Paris art school. where she served
| a long apprenticeship as a model, and
| acquired that easy grace of posture
and statuesque beauty that mark all
fective but when it is complemented
| by color scheme, embracing every
tint of the rainbow, flashed from an
electric light focused upon her per
son, revealing new combination OF
| colors, and all following each other
in continuous series. one color eHect
eXcelling the other in beauty ana
harmony. the effect is a treat to the
eve that makes one regret its ter
mination.
In addition to this the same artist
gives a skirt dance. with the usual
Gashlight accessories This tent should
be renamed and called the Mile. Ro-
berta artistic poses, with Mont Fesee
ON the side. The Mont Pe'ea end
of the show is realistic and al that
is claimed for it. but Mile Roberta
is the star feature, and there's no use
to deny it.

Infant Geniuses,


When he was but schooboy in the
Jesuits' college at DIXON Jacques Bos-
suet was known as one of the best
classical scholars in Europe
At eight Louis de Bourbon, prince of
Condo, was a perfect Latin scholar.
Three years later he published a work
on rhetoric, and at seventeen he was
appointed governor of Burgundy.
Fenelon displayed so much precocity
that he won fame as preacher of rare
eloquence when he was but fifteen
years Of age. Pascal wrote treatises
on acoustics at twelve, at which age he
was busily occupied in constructing
elaborate circulating machines, and at
sixteen he published his treatise on
"Conic Sections" which Descartes re-
fused to believe was not the work of q
great master.
John Stuart Mill was studying Greek
at three, had practically mastered the
language at seven and a year later
was acting as schoolmaster to his
younger brothers and sisters. John
Ruskin actually produced manu-
script work in three volumes before
he reached his seventh birthday.

A full grown sea otter is from four to

more wide. When hunter secures one

the body the hide being SO elastic that
this is not q difficult job. 1t is then
stretched over a smooth board six and
a half feet long. nine inches wide at
one end and ten ut the other end Each
end of this board is tapered to a point.
Another board exactly the same size IL
then inserted, and the skin is stretched
q foot or eighteen inches longer than its

Child study.

The study of child psychology is at
Hacting ever increasing interest and
enthusiasm Problems in crime and
insanity are becoming sovable. The
right of the child to proper treatment
bodily and mental. is making strong
ef appeal. 1t Is coming to be better
known just what treatment fosters a
balanced development and just what
physical conditions preclude the posi-
billty of such development Parents
Will know that the nervous. fractions
child needs the services of Il brain ex-
pert, possibly afterward of skilled
surgeon. 1t will be understood that
stubbornnesS can be cured if ration
ally dealt with or made nucleus of
crime if muruerously mismanaged.
May every educated parent aid in this
beneficent work by studying his own
child fairly and impartially and col
lecting materials from his neighbor-
hood that will give the students a
broader outlook! Fair, honest state
ments from varying environments are
of value. Read, study along this line
and see what wonderful avenues of
thought open up.-Health.

Mark Twain In n Fog.

Mark Twain's former lecture. man
ager told this story of an entertain
ment given by the humorist in London
during heavy fog: "One night the
queens concert rooms were like a
smokehouse, and l saw from my chair
in the royal box Il shuGowy dress coat,
supported by a pair of shadowy trou-
sers. girdled by the faint halo of the
Intellectual footlights. A voice was in
the air. but it was difficult to locate it
with any degree of certainty. The ap-
parently headless trunk of the lecturer
told what he knew of our fellow saw
ages, the Sandwich Islanders, and at
intervals out of the depths assembled
the mutfled murmur of an audience in
visible to the naked eye. Mark began
his lecture on this occasion with del
icate allusion to the weather and said.
Perhaps you can't see me, but 1 am

Blood Corpuscles.

The war between the white corpus
cles of the blood and the microbes of
disease was first described by the Rus
sian pathologist, Metchnikoff. While
devoting himself to the study of in
Examinations he in each case noted the
presence of white cells in the blood
currents in abnormal numbers. In
side these white cells he invariably
found the specific microbe of the dis
ease under consideration. 1t seemed
that the big corpuscles We're devouring
the poisonous microbes. Sometimes
the number taken up by "a corpuscle
was too great, and it died as a result.
If this overcoming of the white cor
puscles by the microbes was general
the patient died.

matism and nothing relieved me

One of them is covered with salt crys-

form a setting white as the driven
snow to the water. which not only
shows all the colors from violet to rosy
red, but from which rises a perfume of
violets. Both the perfume and the col

The speakers right hand man is call
ed "clerk at the speakers desk and is
one Of the most useful men in the
house Of representatives. 1t is his bust
ness to know things, all things; in
fact, everything connected with legis-
lation. He must know parliamentary
law, precedents Of the house and must
have them ready at seconds notice,
so that they may be cited by the speak
er or the chairman Of the committee Of
the whole house whenever point of
order is raised or parliamentary point
is to be decided. He must know all the
members of the house and from what
state they come in order to tell the
speaker or the chairman how to rec
ognize them when they address the
presiding officer. He must know all
the secretaries Of the president and
clerks Of the senate, SO as to tell the
presiding officer when there is a mes
sage from the president or the senate
to be received by the house. He keeps
the time on men who are addressing
the house, and the "hammer" falls
when he says that a1lan has consum-
ed his allotted time OF all these
tasks the greatest is to be well in
formed upon parliamentary law. There
Is no index to parliamentary rulings,
