When Umbrellas We're Heavy.

The great objection to umbrellas
100 years ago was their weight, and
when it is stated as matter of fact
that the uery smallest umbrella thes
weighed no less than three and halt
pounds it will probably be admitted
that the objection was a justihabie
one.
Instead of the thin rainproof fabrics
which now form the covering OF um-
brellas nothing better was known than
leather or oilcloth The ribs were Of
wood or whalebone, and such thing
as a steel rod was, of course, unknown-
The stick was usually of heavy oak
In those days, too, many umbrellas
had the additional incumbra nee Of
feathers over the top, on tine theory OF
shedding water off a ducks back
But the ollcloth and leather umb, elias,
Notwithstanding the feathers, were APT
to leak.

CURRENT COMMENT.
PEOPLE WILL TALK, AND THIS is WHAT
THEY HAVE TO SAY.

That what is the use of being at
odds with the world2 What is the use
of being blue and respondent ? The
world is full of trials for US all--has
plenty of troubles and worry to hand
out even to the best of us from time
to time. But there would be no need
for men and women-we could all be
babes-if there were no great prob
lens to solve, no burdens to bear, no
sorrows to live down. These are the
balance wheels of life. They are the
trials we have TO face in order to
strengthen us and broaden us to the
opportunities and the real happiness
that riches do not command, nor
poverty bear.
That the late DR.. Parker regarding
smoking says: 81 hate smoking. From
one end to the other it is nuisance.
1t ends in cancer, apoplexy, bad TEN
per, bankruptcy, and almost in hyd-
rophobia. 1t is an invention of the
devil. 1t is the pastime Of perdition.
No dog smokes. No bird pines for
tobacco. No horse is a member of
the pipe club. No intelligent person
ever put a cigar in his mouth. The
whole idea and practice of smoking
must be condemned as atheistical.
agnostical and infinitely detestable. "
Mr.. Spurgeon's says: 81 smoke to the
glory of God" forms and interesting
counterpart to DR.. Parker's diatlibe.
That Srusa the popular band master
was summoned to play before King
Edward VII. Alter his men had rem
dered various selections he spoke a
quiet word of command, and THE
Star Spangled Banner" rang out. At
the first note of it the king rose, and
the whole brilliant audience followed
his example. Our American folk may
learn lesson even from king. 1t
is no true democracy that tries to
demonstrate its worth by a display of
bad manners. Wherever our national
air is played or wherever our flag
waves, there hats should came off and
a salute be given. Girls ought to de-
wise graceful gesture of respect.
Boys have theirs prescribed for them.
On such marks of reverence patriotism
thrives, and there will never come "a
day when a republic can live without
vital patriotism.

MISS ALMA STERLING.

A delightful attraction is "a
Daughters Devotion" which has
been booked for an engagement at
the Grand Opera House Saturday
evening. The play is a new one
and is full of action. 1t is a comedy
drama, with scenes laid in Peun-
sylvania oil fields and New York
City, and the heroine, Lena Snyder
will be played by Miss Alma Sterl-
ing, one of the most charming of
American character actresses. who
was the first to give to the stage
that peculiar type of dainty Dutch
character acting which has made
her famous. Her manager has given
her an elaborate production and sur
rounded her with an exceptionally
good company. The climaxes OF
the play are thrilling and unusual.

Every rural community has its
centre where the people-the men

trast this with the we'll furnished,
