WILLIAM H. CRANE.

The American public is generally
 credited with caring only for the light and frivolous form of entertainment, and yet it is fact that general favor has been accorded William IT. Crane in the serious play Business Is Busi- nessp as this will be seen at Polls to- morrow evening. Although he has been known as q comedian only. MT Crane is credited with having scored ,in this serious drama the biggest hit of his career. The play comes from what is considered the worlds first theater, the Comedie Franchise, in Paris. All ready it has had production in Ger many, Austria and Italy, and arrange ments are completed for it's production in England. The play treats of a strong character, man who has a
 thirst for gold and who holds money above love, honor, and all other things on earth. It teaches powerful les son and furnishes much food for re- fiection for the intelligent play-goer. Mir Crane is surrounded by fine com- pany. The sale of seats opens to-mor- row at 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

ON THE MAR CANAL, SRINAGAR. series of ever-changing pictures. Here Is a barge, laden with specimens of the silversmith's and copperworker's art; there a boat with lovely embroidsries and shawls of the well-known "Jhelum- loop pattern; another contains papier. mache articles, ornaments of crushed turquoise and river crystals and carved wood; next comes a native doongah boat full of vegetables and fruit, with Rash miri woman seated at the extreme end steering by means of a heart-shaped paddle; and lastly we see the luxurious shikarah of the English visitor, pro- pelled by numerous hanjis, or boatmer in gay uniform, with rich awnings and dainty cushions to add to it's appear, ance. .
 All the principal merchants have theii shops on the river, and they ply theiI trade from houseboat to houseboat the whole day long, except during the ex. treme heat of the day, becoming verita. ble nuisances before one can shake them off; for they intrude into ones sitting. room, spread all their wares out nolens yo ems, and squat there for hours.
 In a well-known book of travel, read the other day description of 'the beau tiful silvery-looking rooofs'' of the tenn. pies in SrinagaT; but these are really made on the tops and sides of petroleum tins, nailed and fitted like states on the rafters. One wonders sometimes how people existed at all in India before pe- troleum was introduced; for during the last nine months I have travelled all over India-from Mandalay to Pesha- wur, and from DarjeeIing to Kashmir- and everywhere I have seen petroleum tins in use for every conceivable pur- pose, from roofing whole villages to car- rying the gurrum pani (hot water) for ones daily tub.
 The quaint wooden bridges of the city form an important feature in the land cape, and are peculiar to Kashmir,. being built of logs of pine and cedar wood on the cantilever principle. They look rickety, but they are, in reality, very strong, and have heard that the idea of the Forth bridge was taken from one of these. Truly, Scott might have called this the land of the mountain and the food,' for the floods in the Happy valley are a force to be reckoned with, and this year there are to be seen on every side traces of the great flood of July, 1908, when the river rose in the city more than ten feet in the cellars, and incalculable damage was done in every direction, half SrinasaF flying for refuge to houseboats, while many (in- cludlng the residents famiIy) camped out on the top of Takht-i-Suleman

Radiun Emanations from Springs

Radiurn E1nanations from Springs.
 Monsieur Curie, whose wife was the original disCoverer of radium, has lately. investigated the radioactive gases given of by the waters of certain mineral springs. These emanations are strong est from the waters of Bad Gastein in Austria. They are also found in the waters from Plom bieres, Bains-Ies- Rains, and LuxSuil in France. Monsieur Curie thinks that the emanation does not come from radium salt dissolved in the water, but is due to some as yet un- explained cauPa It has been shown by others that g. from tho air and the soil can set up ihuGced radio-activity in other substances. It is suggested that tho emanatiops from mineral springs may account for the physiological ef- Eects of certain waters whose properties h that respect are not explained by their chemical composition.

concerning the best way to prevent a repetition of last winters tragedies.
 Of course, every one, old and young, rich and poor, can do some good by feed- ing the birds at home. They can put out rough wooden trays, and keep them we'll supplied with seeds, cracked oats, wheat, bread and table scraps; they can tie Jumps of suet to the shade trees, and they can clear wide spaces on the lawns and in the yards, and keep these spaces covered with different kinds of bird food. This will be great help to many kinds Of birds, but there are many other kinds which will not come so near the house, and these, perhaps, are the ones which suffer most. Tn order to save these, regular relief parties should be organized. If there Is bird club in the town, of course the feeding of hungry birds should be directly in the line of its work, and surely there is 10 woman's club which would refuse to assist in such an undertaking.
 Perhaps there is no better medium through which to distribute food to the birds than through the students of col- Ieges, academies and high schools, and

PraOticine Medicine at Ninety.

Longevity of Irishmen is proverbial. but even in that country for doctor to be in practice at the age of 90 is unique. Dr. Woods, of Birr, has that distinction, and at the last meeting of the district board of guardians it was decided to grant him full superannuation allow lance. Popular with his patients, whom he visited on a bicycle, the venerable practitioner strenuously objected to re- tiring when the proposal was first brought forward. He urged that be was willing and able to earn his salary, and did not wish to take money from the public that he did not earn.

Et is the custom of old King Christian of Denmark to give small coins to beg gars and old women he meets on the street.

Christian said that he did not carry his pictures about with him in his pocket. The beggar said that he doubt less had one in his purse. though. He aot it--on gold piece.
