"a Ruined Life at the Bljou this after
noon. Pretty pictures of the dainty and
clover little actress. Elsie Crescy, will

twentieth year, has startled the critics
all over this country.
The play, IA Ruined Life" Is crowding
the Bijou theatre at every performance.
1t is deliberately staged and we'll acted.
Next week the attraction at the Bijou
will be "a Little Outcast," which Is
playing to standing room only at the

the season. Seats are now on sale.

RELIGION IN CHINA.
iNere Are Three state systems, Con
fucianism. and Taoism.

~" buuu u .
In theory Confucianism is tie re
iigion of the state. The state officials
are h literati who have securcd their
positions through the study of the
classics-i. e. the sacred Writings OF
Copfuclus.' The Confucianist tempt, :
are protected and honored by the state.
and the worship of Confucius is carried
on ut the expense of the state. In Il
limited sense, too, Buddhism can also
lain to be IL state religion. The same
Is also true of Taoism. since deceased
generals and statesmen are assigned
their corresponding ranks with the
Taoistic king of the lower world in
hades. In this role they are worshipcd
in Taoistic temples. In this way it is
possible for a Chinanan to make use
OF all three religions wit--out getting
into conflict with the distinctive prin-
ciples of any of them. Their officials
worship together. LII funeral services
monks of both orders are found per
forming functions on different days.
The public temples are usually in
control of the TaoistS. but sometimes
are in charge of RuddhiSts. Not rarely
Taoistic gods are found in buddhist
temples and vice versa. Sometimes
they differ only in name. Inc Bud
dhist goddess of mercy is the Taoist
goddess of heaven. The pearl king of
the Taoists is the imperial ruler of the
Buddhists. Both systems teach the
same leu princes in hades. and even
a reproduction of the Buddhist punish
ment in he'll is found in the Taoist en-
niles

Two ESCAPED CONV|CIS

The Ellefords are presenting an at
tractive bill this evening in the Black
Flag which has been reserved pending
the arrival Of W. J. Elleford and Jes-
sic Norton. The black flag which is
always hoisted over Portland peniten-
tiary, England upon the escape of a
prisoner gives the name of the play aud.
suggests it's main action which takes
place in the stone quarries OF the pris-
on where a thrilling attempt at escape
is made by the hero and Lazarus
Hebrew OF involuntary comedy played
by w. ]. Elleford. Jessie Norton has a
fine part as Ned the boy who sacrifices
his life to save his master and res
cuer from cruelty.
The Black Flag Is full Of action and
strong climaxes. while the carefully
written and cleverly thousip-out dia-
logue rescues the play from any sus-
picion of sensationalism. It should
draw big houses. being Just the bill to
suit those who love a sterling PLAY

Old age hath yet his honor and his
toll;
Death closes all, but something ere
the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet
bedone,
Not unbecoming men that strove
with gods.
The ligths begin tc twinkle from the
rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon
climbs: the deep
Means round with many voices.
Come, my friends,
IT'S not too late to seek a newer
world.
Push off, and sitting well in order
smite
The sounding burrows; for my pur-
pose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the
baths
Of all the western stars, until l die.
It may be that the CULTS will wash
us down;
1t may be we shall touch the Happy
Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we
knew.
Tho much is taken, much abides;
and tho
We are not now that strength which
in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which
we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and fate, but
strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not
to yield.

HYGIENE OF THE FARMHOUSE.
Simple and Practical Suggestions for
Health Preservation that Can be Put
in Use in Every Farm Household.

by GEORGE NJ. s~TERNBERG, NJ. D., LII. d.
published by the Boston Youths COmpan-
ion, April, 1903, and reprinted in The Pro-
gresstve Farmer by special permission.)
We now have an accurate knowl-
edge of the form and of the condi-
tons governing the growth of a
large number of disease germs, and
also of the agents most useful for
destroying them. 1t is evident that
to employ this knowledge in a prac-
teal way for the destruction of di-
sease germs we must know, too, where
to find them. This we also know,
and it is safe to say that if this
knowledge were generally dissent
mated and acted upon, the next de-
cade would show a most remarkable
reduction in the death-rate.
To illustrate this point, let me
mention a single disease-pulmonary
consumption, which is often spoken
of as "the great white plague" The
death-rate from this disease has
heretofore been about o~ne-seventh
of the total mortality in various
parts of the world.
DESTROYING A BACILLUS.
During the census year 1890 the
mortality from consumption in the
United States was two hundred and
forty-ive in every ten thousand of
the inhabitants. In 1900 it was one
hundred and ninety in every ten
thousand.
This is a very notable gain, but
in the light of our present knowledge
it is not only sad but disgracefu7
that so many lives should be sacri-
fed to a ~preventable disease.
Consumption depends upon the in
PRODUCTION of the tubercle bacillus
into the lungs of a susceptible indi.
vidual, and this bacillus in the vast
