quite an original species of mar
comania is noted by the British Medi-
cal Journal as having been discovered
by Maj. Jennings, d. S. o., during the
recent operations in South Africa. It
consists in the eating OF cordite, with
which the Lee-Metford cartridges are
charged. The existence of the vice
first became known to Maj. Jennings
from the suggestion Of a regimental
n-conmissioned officer that a GER
tain man had possibly been taking
cordite in order to escape service; but
in concluding his notes Maj. Jennings
suggests that the effects are so ex-
ceedingly unpleasant that none but
the most depraved would ordinarily re-
sort to IT as a stimulant, and that no
man could escape service through its
means except by the exchange Of SER
vice for Incarceration as hopeless
lunatic or for death by suicide.

MUSICAL COMEDIES.

"Since the Shubert Brothers adver-
tised recently that they would give $780,
900 to anybody who would put them in
the way of comic opera or musical

ssKinE DOdo.O

King Dodo," which has been play
ed over 1000 times and which is max
ing a tour of the country with a cast
headed by Richard Golden, is said to
contain more pretty and catchy musi-
cal numbers than any entertainment
of its kind which has been produced
in recent years. All told, there are
twenty-one of them. The Bundle
Bee" song, which is sung in the second
act, is possibly the most catchy of all,
but 'Dr. Fizz," Look In the Book
and See," DIANA" IN Do or Die"
THE jolly Old Potentate" and I'm the
Spring" are calculated to please the
most musicianly of hearers. A spec
. tacular march is one of the features
of the production.

"The Earl of Pawtucket."

There is one remarkable feature OF
1.-THE Earl of Pawtucket," which will
play here Wednesday, Jan. IS, and that
is that one of the most important
characters does not appear at all
This may seem paradoxical, but it is
nevertheless true. 1t is Montgomery
Putnam, who is referred to almost
continually, on whose actions hang
most of the plot of the play, and for
whose entrance, owing to the nature
of the lines of the piece, the audience
is always on the qui vive, yet the
final falls without his appearance.

and above all is novel. To Chelso D.
Peruchi goes the palm, as his comedy
Is as refreshing as a fall day and

Company will present the following
repertoire, "A Southern Rose" THE
Georgia Cracker" The Old Judge, -
"A Noble Serf," Jesse James," ''The
New World" and "A Sleeping City,"
ga Texas Steer"
Hoyts greatest success, "A Texas
Steer" was first produced fifteen years
ago and has been on the road contin-
uously ever since. There are many
reason for this; first, it is probably
the best of Hoyt's comedies, and be-
cause of the excellent cast that has
always been provided for It.

No man need be afraid to have his
will drawn up, even though he may
have many years of life before him. It's
provisions cannot take effect until his
death, nor will Its existence interfere
with the operation of subsequent wills
since the latest will is an ipso facto
revocation of all prior instruments
of the same kind. So much money
has been spent, trouble incurred and
ill-feeling occasioned by faulty and
defective Wills, that we deem it a duty

MAKING WILLS,

Few men care to be advised on the
necessity of making their wills be-
cause it is a grave subject in most
than one sense. 1t implies that the
hour of death is fast approaching and
the time is at hand when you must
part with boarded earnings. To will
is to give away; and the man who
has toiled and sweated to amass a
moiety of this worlds goods does not,
at the end, contemplate With great
degree of pleasure the prospect of
passing over the possession of his lit
tie all to another person. These and
various other influences tend to
make the execution Of Wills favorite
subject of proscrastination.
The hale and hearty old man thinks
be has many years of happiness yet
left, before it will be necessary to
take such step. It's put off from year
to year until the very threshold of ex-
istence is reached. Then it but too
often happens that the mind is weak
with age and disease. The memory
is ebbing away and the reason is un-
stable and flighty. It is very easy
for litigious relatives to charge undue
influence. It is not impossible to
prove a state of mind under which the
alleged will is eclared null and void.
The reports, too, are full of cases
where in the hurry and excitement of
the moment, requisite formalities
were omitted, "faws," important
enough to upset the entire arrange
ment, crept in unnoticed and un-
challenged. noe t.a ssf ssaS.@s5
Even so good lawyer as Rufus
C;:oaJ is said at one time to have
drawn up faulty will. He discover
ed the imprefection only when he
chanched to be getting into bed after
a hard days labor. A stray reflec-
tion had directed his attention to the

TWO POINTS OF VIEW.


A spinster says that
Some men never look sober unless
they are,fuIl.
Man was made to mourn, but
widower usually outlives it.
Much of the experience a man gets
comes too late to benefit him.
Few men can resist the temptation
to swallow undeserved praise.
Lying will never be lost art until
all the men have been buried.
Some men kick because their daily
bread doesn't come already butter

But few men have been injured by
the accidental discharge of their
duty. 80 - @
Women admire a handsome man
when he has good sense-but there's
the trouble.
Some men get 50 tired doing moth
ing that they are never able to do any
thing else.
After a mans acquaintance really
get to know him, they often fail to
recognize him.
When man says there's no use
talking you may as well prepare for
long winded argument.
The number Of things man knows
about woman is only about one per
cent. of what he thinks he knows.
You may have observed that men
who sit around and wait for dead mems
shoes never cut much Of figure in
history.
Beware of the man who smiles
when he is angry; he's dangerous.
And beware of the man who looks
glum when he is glad; he's probably
humerist.
An old bachelor says
A woman can only be logical when
she hates a man.
Matrimony is about the worst joke
a woman can play on q man.
True friendship between is matter
of doubt with most men.
An old maid sees lifelong enemy
in every old bachelor she meets.
A man is the most important piece
Of furniture in a woman's air castle.
A girl eagerly swallows a young
