This: That for the comforts of life she has sold herself, that her name is now uttered lightly, with little show of respect.
 Poor Iris! Poor, luXury-loving Iris! No honest man now wants her for wife, and the men who have sought her society of late soon show their interest was but feeting.
 The rich man that has paid most of her bills the last two years becomes tied of her. Not only tired, but fairly loathes the sight of her; so one night with curses and they say such things happen) blows, he drives her out of his presence. She goes out into the night. Where? The curtain falls. The playwright leaves you to picture the end for yourself.
 All smiles and pleasure we find the Iris of the early scenes; very fearful and emotional the Iris of the later ones. And perhaps it is thus Mir. Pinero conveys the moral alluded to by Mir. Sothern. Perhaps the tears and the casting-out are meant to give another illustration of "the wages of sin is death.' 1t may be, but why should the woman always point the moral? Why not have the man that has eaten the forbidden fruit for once also be driven out? Somehow or other Mir. Pinero, with all his clev erness and originality, persists in giving the old tritc illustration; the wages of sin is death--to the woman.
 Miss Virginia Harmed (Mrs. E. H. Sotherm has been on the stage evec since she was a mere slip of girlI Her notable successes, previous to her work this year in the role of Iris Bellamy, have been made in the parts of TIilby, Lady Ursula and tlse role of Pauline in '"rhe Lady of Lyons" In Iris" it is agreed she has found character better suited to her per sonality than any she has yet DOT trayed.

AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
As a Rule the Women Are silently Attentive and the Men Noisy
 and Demonstrative.

American audiences are strangely
 alike in some things and strangely dis similar in others. A good committee
 will take as much pains in the ar
 rangement of it's audience as of it's
 speakers. An audience seated without
 crowding is seldom enthusiastic.
 Neither is an audience whose hands
 are occupied with bundles or umbrel-
 las, an audience largely composed of
 women, or an audience in 9 cold
 room. The easiest audience to ad- dress, the most responsive and inspir- ing. are those composed of men, crowded and packed together and warm, says a writer in Scribner's Magazine.
 naturally donot applaud and cheer. They are by instinct more self restrained in the public expression of their emotion than men. Every public speaker is complimented by their
 presence, knowing, that their quiet word at home is oftentimes more eff fective in results than the most en- thusiastic shouting on the street cor  meeting, however, the audience gets it's cue from those nearest the speak CT. I remember we'll two audiences, both from the same social class, both
 crowded, both in large theaters, and
 both largely attended by women. One happened to be in Colorado; one in Massachusetts In one meeting the orchestra was reserved for women. In the other women had the lower gal lery and all the boxes. In both cases the audiences were entirely friendly to the speakers. The second meeting
 was marked by wild enthusiasm; the first one, by respectful attention. In the second case the mass of men in
 the orchestra urged on the speakers by continued applause. In the first
 case the men in the galleries who started to applaud were checked be-
 cause between them and speakers was
 mass of absolutely silent femininty
 in the orchestra. I do not say that
 one meeting was less effective than
 the other, but the difference in the
 strain on the speaker was marked

The small tenant farmers are rap idly forsaking their holdings for other businesses, and tenant farmers in Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefec- lures, where the agricultural land is largely owned by few rich farmers, are steadily leaving for abroad. h consequence, the agricultural indus try in Japan is declining rather than progressing. Some years ago, the government established an agricul- tural and industrial bank in each pre- lecture, with a view to improving matters. Money was advanced cheap ly, and the rate of interest fixed at eight per cent, but when the fees for the survey of property and the reg istration of hypothecation were paid, the rate of interest rose to il and 12 per cent. The only measure now open for the relief of farmers is the banks to reduce the interest.

New Port fn south Africa.

The one great drawback of South Africa, from commercial point of view, as indeed of the continent as U whole, is the want of safe and capa- cious harbors. Table bay itself is notoriously unsafe during the north west winds, and during recent great storm no less than IT vessels were driven ashore, chiefly at the dan gerous open roadstead of Algoa bay. Extensive and costly harbor works at Cape Town and Durban have but partially remedied this vital defect in the natural equipment of South Ali rica. The fine harbor of Delagoa bay has, for England, two great draw backs it's frightful climate and it's possession by foreign power.

and tempting sparklers are displayed before her eyes by this same man. She is used to the richest and most fashionable apparel, and all this the man stands ready to bestow upon the weak woman. She puts aside thoughts of the absent lover, begging away for her in the land of dollars across the water; she accepts the at tentions and conditions of the mar i'll the field.
 Iris, who had once queened it in society with such easy grace, begins travelling the downward path. She explains herself in these lines: Lone, poor, weak, sordid Iris, who must lie i'll the sun in summer, be- fore the fire in winter, who must wear the choicest lace, the richest furs; whose eyes must never encoun ter any but the most beautiful ob- jects-l -languid, slothful, nerveless, in capable almost of effort. Do you re- member the story of the poet Thom- son and the peaches? He adored peaches, but was too greedy to await their appearance at table and too in dolent to pluck them himself, so he used to stand propped up against the wall upon which they grew, and with half-closed lids bite into the fruit as it hung from it's tree.

BAMBOO IN THE HOUSEHOLD,
It rs n Wood That K of Great Value to thc Artisans in A~iattc
 Countries.


 The increasing importation of bam- boo seems to indicate that Americans are beginning to appreciate the ex- ceeding utility of that remarkable plant. In the orient it fills so large place that 1t may be compared with iron and steel in the occident. When dried and cut into slivcrs it makes nails which never rust. These bamboo nails have recently appearedin q Broadway shop as souvenirs. When a portion of it's surface is removed, steamed, or heated in fire, it becomes pliable, and may be bent into various angles. These two properties enable the eastern cabinet maker to manufacture it into stools, chairs, tables, screens, eta geres, trunks and armoires.
 In the United States. says the New York Post, bamboo and attan are made into ornamental furniture on a small and delicate scale, but the use of the large-sized bamboo for massive and Durable furniture has not yet been attempted. Builders in the cities on the eastern coast of Asia use the bam- boo for masts, poles, ladders, step- ladders, scaffoldings, painters stag ings, and other purposes where both strength and rigidity are demanded. With equal weights, bamboo is five times as strong as wood. and with equal strength is but one-third as heavy. The joints in the stems enable workman to lash two poles together without any possibility of slipping, which is not the case with ordinary timber poles. This does away with the necessity for nails, and so increases the life of scaffoldings indefinitely Every bamboo is practically series of air chambers. A boat hook whose shaft is one of these stems is a life preseryer which will support one or two persons; while a bamboo gaff or boom will keep dozen persons afioat. In household furnishing and decora- ton the eastern reed offers unlimited variety. Thus far it has been employed i'll this country for picture frames, easels, fancy chairs, and curtain poles. In the orient larger sizes, which range from three to 12 inches in diameter, are sawed into various lengths and used for card receivers, sugar bowls, cigar boxes, hand trays, spoon hold CTS, umbrella stands, drinking uten- l sils, and jewel boxes. The larger ones l are cut through and sawed with scroll saws into various patterns, which are utilized as iardinieres or the holders of pewter boxes, incense cases, and mantel ornaments.
 When softened by hot water and l split into thin strips these can be woy- en with cord into yeranda and window shades, door mats, and hall mattings When split still finer the strips can be braided into table mats, chair seats and backs, dado wall covers and fiool covering, which is almost indestrucSi ble.

Import of wood Into Hamburg.

During the past year the import of wood into Hamburg amounted to $a,- 379,2O0, not including $2.6iO,000 for basket hoops, bark, tan and piassava. Compared with 1900, there was de- crease of $309, ,400-due principally to d decline in the import of hickory from the United States, which amounted to $1,213,s in 1900 and to only $975,s00 in 1901. The import of cedar amounted to $404,600. Timber comes chiefly from the harbors of Russia and Prussia which border on the Baltic sea. The dearer kinds of wood, like West Indian pockwood ($34, ,034), Brazilian and East Indian
 iacaranda wood S2s,0s4), boxwood from the West Indies and Venezuela 1925, 704). and veneer from Russia, France, Germany and Great Britain ($42S, ,400) were also received in smaller quantities than last year. Imports of cork wood, mahogany. slaves and ebony show an increase. Cork wood worth $1 ,094, 800 was im- ported. of which $7S5,4 worth came from Portugal and $23S,00o from Al- geria. The import of mahogany amounted to $714,000 in 1901 and S642,- GOO in 1900, and that of ebony to $127,- 56s in 1901 and S110,194 in 1900. Maj hogany comes chiefly from West Af-

This huge breakwa- ter will form the base for the wharves and jetties, alongside which ships of the largest tonnage will be able to discharge direct into the rail- way trucks in any weather and at any state of the tide. One of the accom- panying illustrations shows the steamship Venice lying alongside a six-foot jetty--an absolute impossible
