ANIMAL INSTINCT IN WINTER.

With many forms of life the readi-
ness for winter is not to secure place
to protect them from cold or even from
freezing, but for security against sud-
den changes of condition and of temper
allure. 1t is a protection in some cases
similar to that Of the plants on the
lawn that were covered with straw by
the gardener when he made them ready
for winter. In some places Of the kind,
for instance, in the squirrels nest, there
is undoubtedly real animal warmth and
coziness. Fish seek the deepest parts
of pools, where the temperature of the
water is a little above freezing and
where it remains very near this point
until spring.-St. Nicholas.

MAKING MARBLE OUT OF CHALK,

MAKING MARBLE OUT OF CHALK.
In nature marble is made out of chalk
by water which percolates through the
chalky deposits, dissolves the chalk
particle by parties and crystalizes it,
mountain pressure solidifying it. 1t has
been found that similar results may be
accomplished by chemical means.
First slices of chalk are dipped in a
color BATH staining them with tints
that will initiate any kind Of marble
known. For this purpose the same
mineral stains are used as are en-
ployed in nature. For example, to pro-
dee counterfeit verde antique" oxide of
copper is utilized. In like manner
green, pink, black and other colorings
are obtained. Next the chalk slices go
into another both, bywhich they are
hardened and crystallized, coming out
to all intents and purposes real marble.

VIRGINIA HARMED IN IRIS" AT
THE HYPERION.


THE HYPERION.
Pinero's latest production, Iris" in
which Charles Frohman will present
Virginia Harmed at the Hyperion the
alter Friday evening next, has provoked
more general comment than any other
for many seasons. 1t is play of I'M
usual strength and Mr.. Pinero has
never written a weak play He is a
master Of the English language and
has probably given the stage more
study than any of his contemporaries,
either in England or in this country.
The following named persons comprise
Miss Harned's company: Henry jew
EFT, William Courtnay, Arthur r. Law
renee, Ethel Winthrop, Louise Drew,
daughter of John Drew, Mable Snyder,
Eleanor Sanford, Stanley Dark, R. r.
Neill, Harry Lewis and Lawrence Ed
dinger. This is the same cast with two
exceptions that produced the play in
New York, where it had a. run Of al
most four months, to which were at
tracted nightly the largest audiences
that ever assembled in Mr.. Frohman's
Criterion theater. Seats now on sale.
Prices $3.50, 81, 75c.
The story of Harry B. Smiths new
musical comedy, 1.-The Liberty Bellies -
which Klaw & changers Troubadours
and Harry Gilfoil will present at the
Hyperion on Saturday, matinee and
night, is both original and humorous.
There is an especially clever thread of
hunor in the first act, in the dormitory
scene, in contrasting the different tenn
peraments of school girls in the forma-
tive period of their characters. The
school girls form the chorus and they
are incorporated into the actual dra-
matte action of the piece on the theory
that thirty very handsome and clever
girls having a definite place in the plot
are more attractive than larger num-
Der Of plain ones who have nothing TO
do with the plot. Accordingly the
handsomest young ingenues known to
the New York stage were engaged for
the parts of the school girls. Each
one of these young women is especially
clever in her particular characterize
ton, several of them displaying great
dramatic ability This company, dur
ing its great run at the Madison Square
theater in New York, attracted great
attention and secured a record of re-
ceipts which gives it the credit of be-
ing the most substantial success pre-
scented at the Madison Square theater
since the days of the farf1out Hazel
Kirke." Seats on sale Thursday. Prices
$3.50, 81. 75c.
1.-The County Fair" which with Neil
Burgess himself as Abigail Prue, will
be presented at the Hyperion on We'd
nesday, February 4, matinee and night,
is a pastoral sketch with chorus of
corn huskers, beautiful farm scene,
marvellous horse race and particu-
larly felicitous love scene.

For Her Children's Sake Is draw
ing big houses at the Grand opera
house. 1t will be presented at the
matinee to-day and again in the even
ing. The motives of Mr.. Kremer's lat
est play are varied as the title indi-
Gates. It is a story of a woman, young
beautiful, loving and beloved, who
through an unfortunate love affair is
led into devious ways and strange
paths of suffering and illustrating
afresh that out of suffering sweetness
shall always spring. And where one
has to bear a cross, where it is plant
ed, will blossom like an Aarons rod
bright with flowers. The ending is a
happy one. Selma Herman, as charm
ing as she is talented, plays with ease
and discretion the difficult role Of the
Wilful heroine, afterwards the out-cast
mother.

A good story is told of the race track
scene in For Love and Honor" which
is booked as the attraction at the
Grand opera house on Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday this week. During
the race track scene last week in the
third act just as Susie was preparing
to mount for the sensational trip
across the stage as the jockey of the
winning horse, she discovered that the
girth strap was about broken and in
testing it completed the fracture. 1t
was too late to change the saddle, and
the stage manager was about to ring
down the curtain when like flash she
jumped on the horse bareback and with
a cry Come on made the daring voy-
age around the stage twice and saved
the act. The manager now personally
sees to the saddling before the curtain
goes up There will be a matinee Sat
urday.

An Example for Office Boys.

BE good to the Office boy" is moral
taught by the career of William Alden
Smith. He had saved a little money ana
wanted a place to study Blackstone.
This was in 1873 He thought first of
Chicago, and even went so far as to go
to that city and apply for a place as
office boy in the firm of Walker X DeX-
ter. But il was in the summer, and the
heads We're all out of town, and he end
ed by returning To Grand Rapids. Here
he selected the firm of Burch X Mont
gomerY. He had suggested this before,
but they had not needed him: he was
this time confronted by a closed Office
and a card tackled on the door saying
they We're out of town and would not be
back for several weeks. But this did
not daunt Smith, who finally looked up
Mr. Pierce, the owner of the building
and a man of some prominence in the
town. He told Pierce what he wanted.
and finally persuaded him TO give him
pass-key to the office. And so it hap
pened, when Judge Burch returned he
found his offices swept and garnished,
and a brisk young clerk diligently read
ing at one of the desks. To the in
quiries of the judge the young fellow re-
piled that he had come to stay;
that he was the office boy at moth
ing a week. All he wanted, he said
was a chance to make himself useful,
and incidentally to read a little law.
Things looked so clean and the young
man was so respectfully determined to
remain that Judge Burch good naturedly
acquiesced.
In seven years Smith was a member
of the firm. In seven years more he
was part owner in the principal news
paper in the place, and proprietor of a
branch railroad. In another seven
years he had added two more railroads
to his assets, and was in Congress,
Meantime the wheel of fortune has been
turning: Montgomery is on the bench of
the Michigan Supreme Court; Judge
Burch, through the influence of his for
mer office boy, had been appointed as
sistant to the United States attorney
general, and resides in Washington;
while Pierce, who had met with financial
reverses, was rewarded for the pass-key
which he had given Smith by an appoint
ment as assistant sergeant-at-arms of
the United States House of Representa-
tives

G. r. SWift's Maxims.

The late G, F. Swift, the big meat
packer of Chicago, was, fond of few
his business philosophy. Most success
full men, who have made their own ca
reers, generally have in their minds say
ings like Mr.. Swft's. The late NJ, De-
Blowtz, the celebrated journalist and
correspondent of the London Times, was
fond of pointing out that a mans sue
cess in life depends upon his Willingness
to take the trouble; or, as others have
said to take pains. Some of Mr.. Swift 5
maXims, not all of them, are worth not
ing
Every time a man loses his temper he
loses his head and when he loses his
head he loses several chances.
Next to knowing your own business,
it's a mighty good thing to know as
much about your neignbor's as possible,
specially If he is in the same line.
The richer a man gets. the more care
full he should be to keep his head level.
The best a man ever did shouldn't be
his standard for the rest OF his life
You can never make a big success
working for anybody else.
