"The Idols Eye.

The Bijou Opera company, who made such a hit in sThe Ameer'' two weeks ago, will return to the Bijou tomorrow night for a farewell week engagement presenting Victor Herberts most tuneful and humorous opera, "The Idols Eye" The management declares that the bill for this week will afford more pleasing entertainment than "The Ameer" and that means a great deal.
 "The Idols Eye' is another of Frank Daniels greatest success. Wells-Dunne- Harlan bought the original production just as presented by Daniels, and the fact that William Corliss, Frank Daniels un- derstudy who played Daniels part near ly half of the time, will play the part with the Bjou Opera company gives as- surance of a finished performance. The company established itself on it's first visit here two weeks ago and will with out doubt add greatly to it's popularity the coming week, as 'The Idols Eye" Is a much funnier and more tuneful opera than the "Ameer."
 In assigning the parts in "The Idols Eye" Otis Harlan has made no mistake. William Corliss as Abel Coun," the aero- naut, has great opportunity to produce laughter. and he uses it to advantage. He has a close second in the fun business in Harry Carter, one of the best eccentric comedians on the American stage. Miss

QUEER THINGS IN NATURE.
Some Questions to Interest Wide
 Awake People.

Whatever opens up new doors or win dows for us into the world about us, whatever widens the field of our interests says John Burroughs in Country Life in America. But much of the so-called na- ture-study opens no new doors or win dows; 1t affords no mental satisfaction, or illumination, or esthetic pleasure; it is mainly pottering with dry, ,unimportant facts and details. Do you know the edel- weiss flower or our own matchless arbutus after you have merely an- alyzed and classified them? No more than you know a man after hav- ing weighed and measured him. The function of things Is always interesting What do they do? How do they pay their way in the rigid economy of nature :? How do they survive? How does the bulb of the common lawn-lily get deep CT and deeper into the ground each year? Why does the ginger root hide it's blos- sons when nearly all other plants f1aunt theirs ?Why do the roots Of trees flow through the ground like Tunnels of mol ten metal" often separating aud uniting again, while the branches are thrust out in right lines or curves? Why is our common yellow birch more often than any other tree planted upon a rock? Why do oaks and chestnuts so often spring up where a pine or hemlock for est has been cleared away? Why does lightning so commonly strike a hemlock tree or pine or an oak. and rarely or never a beach? Why does the bolt sometimes scat ter the tree about, and at others only blow a channel down its trunk? Why does the bumblebee complain so loudly when woking upon certain flowers? Why does the honeybee lose the sting when it stings a personwhile the wasp, the hor- net and the bumblebee do not? How does the chimney swallow get the twigs 1t builds It's nests with?

About Pie Eaters.

"Upon what meat doth this, our Caesar, feed that he has grown so great?" de- manded the sour, sarcastic Casslus, which puts one in mind that the world takes a curious interest In the gastronomic habits of prominent persons; particularly if they have any peculiarlties in their feeding. Senator Platt of New York has been noted since adolescence as a dainty diner. Even with old age now stealing over him, he can play a good knife and fork with n-c best of the younger trenchmen. But Sen ator Platt of Connecticut takes the tart, or to speak with scie tiflo accuracy, the pie among senators. Che of his favorite lunches Is custard pie; he has been known to consume three-quarters and Is under suspicion of occasionally surround ing whole one, when a particularly im- portant debate Is impending. This Platt, of course, Is quite understandable in such a preference in asmuch as he halls from the pie-belt pre-eminent. Years ago witty fellow was asked his opinion of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and he replied; q size up your New England seer and mys- tic as a splendid speciment of a confirmed eupeptic. l reckon he could eat mince pie three times a day and never hear from it." Not long ago after the fact came out that Emerson actually could, and did indulge In that dainty three times a day, when 1t came his way

BY W. T. MANNING.

Washir' May Miss Roosevelts 8 attack C. -.3n measles has revived the old-time discussion as to the sanitary conditions of the White House. There seem to be just grounds for the belief that the grounds about the presidential abode, as well as the mansion itself. need a more thorough scientific inspection and overhauling than they have ever had. The lives of our rulers are put in jeo- pardy enough from the increasing army of cranks. that require all the skill and vigilance of our secret service men to keep them at a safe distance even from a popular president, without any addi- tional subjection to danger either in per- son or family from that temporary off, cial home the Nation provides for its chosen chief.

Wants Indian Wife.

The Secretary of the Interior-this item has no necessary connection with the de- mands of pie-eating senators just pre- viously considered--is now in daily ex- pectation of having a problem in stirpi- culture, or the prevention of race sui eide, up to him: for the officials at Mus kogee, Indian Territory, have received a queer request from one Orland Hand, a Long Island farmer, who wants a pure blooded Indian maiden to come on and make him happy as a wife. Farmer Hand is a likely youngster just turned sixty and, according to his episte to the Indians, a model character; neither drinks, smokes or swears. He keeps twenty cows and used to keep the post office. Last year he only raised 1000 bushels of corn, 5000 of turnips and 10, 900 of Irish potatoes-mealies! Having bred stock and run a postoffice before the dreadful day of investigations. Farmer Hand evidently believes in crossing breeds now and then so that the race-of life will not fall Into the dangerous habit of running in ruts. While the Indian Agency politely intimated to him in reply that 1t was not exactly matrimonial bureau. 1t suggested that there was plenty of room and chance for hustlers like him in Indian Territory, provided the Secre- tary of the Interior should signify his approval and assent If MT. Hand writes or calls on the Secretary, the Secretary's hand will be called.
