About Mackintoshes.

Like golf clothes and other garments that have about served their day, mackin- toshes are little worn now" said a cloth- Ing man. "Yet these coats are extremely serviceable, cheap, and graceful. Although they are rather light they afford far moro protection against the cold than most people suppose and are invaluable in keeping out dampness. Nowadays mack intoshes are seen only on rainy day and are worn by men who can afford two coats, but four or five years ago they were quite popular as an all around win ter garment. on account of their lightness and durability
 Personally, I prefer a very heavy coat of the Ragland style for winter wear, be- cause 1t is both comfortable and durable. but my second choice would be a good mackintosh which would be far less heavier than the Ragland and almost equally as warm

Weekly Magazines.

The advantages of a weekly magazine have often been remarked, but neverthe- less this style of publication continues In the minority. Somehow a certain cheap ness attaches to weekly periodicals, for what reason I do not know, unless 1t be because so many country weeklies have a lazy appearance. There are a number of good weeklies issued in this country, how ever. Among them is the Literary Digest the Saturday Evening Post. Golfers and the Youths Companion.
 '"rhe great advantage of a weekly peri odical is the mere fact that 1t comes more often than the monthly and usually comes at a time in the week when everybody Is prepared to read-on Saturday or Sunday. Yet publishers have to hustle in order to get out a good weekly paper and on that account more periodicals are issued monthly"

Reforminu the Staue.

The converted actor who condemned in Bessemer church all theatre-going because actors go to the dogs. and all plays are immoral, was much too sweeping in his statements. If he had told his hearers that they should not throw away money on rubbishy plays, he would have come nearer the truth, and If they should follow such. in struction they would not go to many plays, for but few are worth ones money.
 But any one who condemns all plays condemns one of our chief educational infiuences-an influence more constant and prevailing in some respects than the pulpit or the press. In maintain ing art and love for the beautiful, in holding up the standards of speech, in intoxicating good manners and good taste, who shall say the stage is not useful beyond even the pulpit or the press? The social, and ethical infiu- ences of the stage cannot well be over estimated, nor can its aesthetic infiu- ence be over-estimated. True, some actors go to the dogs. but so do some clergymen and many newspaper men. and yet the converted actor said noth- ing about staying away from church or refraining from the reading of news papers.
 In theatre-going the line should be drawn by theatre-goers. They should seek not only entertainment, but in- struction as well. A good play af- lords both. Entertainment Is alto gether legitimate, and all persons need some of it, but while they are being entertained they should demand in structicn in speech. manners. taste

Pronramme Advertisement.

"one runs across some queer things in perusing his theatre programmes" said man who likes the stage. "fou can find almost anything advertised you are looking for in the Jefferson programmes, including announcements of politicians for offee but I think the most startling ad I ever saw in a theatre programme was that of an undertaken solemnly offering his services to readers. as if to remind them that in the midst of life they were in death. Even at a theatre the end is liable to come and this man probably thought it all right to call attention, be- tween laughs, that he could be found if necessary.
 "As rule, physicians of the advertis- ing class, fight shy of theatre programmes as an advertising medium and 1t is seldom indeed that an undertaken dares Invade the halls of festivity and tears. but cloth ing dealers, merchants of all kinds, and the railroads take up plenty of space"

pemocracy's Traditional Rule.

The two-thirds rule was adopted in democratic conventions in 1892 at the suggestion of Martin Van Buren. He was a past master in politics, and he needed the rule in his political busi- ness. Tho rule was afterwards re- tained in order to keep the south from expressing the north, and vice versa. but the civil war largely obliterated sectional lines. The rule is retained at present partly because it has become traditional and partly because 1t pro notes scheming on the part of politi- clans.
