ENTERTAINMENTS.
Grand Opera House.

OEN1u ODCEA 11ouAEa
 A big feature and a taking one with nearly all classes of theatergoers is the old plantation songs and pastimes by genuine negroes. such as existed in the old south on the big plantations in ante bellum times. Almost true to nature and tradition are the plantation scenes presented by Manager Washburn of the Stetson company in Uncle Tom's Cabin." which appears at the Grand opera house tonight Tuesday and Wednesday nights with daily matinees commencing to-day. All the old melo- dies are sung in that rich plaintive voice so peculiar to the southern dark ey. Songs which our daddies sang when they went to war, and songs that our mothers hummed as they rocked the babies to sleep. ssThe Old Folks at Home,' "Suwanee River,' Picking Cotton and Stephen Fosters never dy- ing melodies will all be rendered by large contingent of genuine eplantation darkies, male and female. A Mississip- pi landing with the arrival of a cotton boat and the manner of it's unloading, also genuine buck and wing dancing will be shown. In the Stetson company wonderful exposition of life in the sunny south among the slaves is given. It shows the black man in his joys and sorrows so realistically that it is hard to imagine the spectator is not actual ly on the plantation. The evilution of the negro since the late unpleasantness is forcibly demonstrated in the great cake walking contest wherein twenty I dusky belles and beaux vie with each other to win the cake. The cast of white artists with the company is said to be the strongest artistically ever seen in this production, while the pa rade and it's many novel features are, | we are assured, a revalation in outside display for a company playing in opera | houses.
 Don't forget the matinee to-day.
 The eccentric comedy 'Tangled Rela- tions," in which Robert Whittier is to
 appear at the Grand Opera house fol three nights, beginning on Thursday, is said to be more to the liking of the | young comedian and one in which he fairly abandons himself to the hilarious l opportunities of the comedy. Tangled Relations" contains more roistering merriment and genuine fun than any of Alexander Gisson's works. so say the Parisian critics. This is saying much, for after an author has given us such delightful successes as "The Masked Ball. ''On and Off" "Dr. Bill,' and lco-author of "Because She Loved Him So'' anything coming from his pen is bound to receive particular interest by local theatergoers. There will be the usual matinee Saturday.

Little Provocation.


At least it was no small matter that
brought Russia and Japan to hostili-
ties. There was good deal of truth
in the saying that England drifted
into the Crimean war without knowing
exactly why it did SO. No less accur-
ate was Lord Palmerston's familiar
declaration concerning the Schleswig-
IIolstein troubles. Only three men in
Europe, he said, ever knew what those
war-making troubles were. Two of
the men died before the war broke out
and the third forgot what was the
point in dispute. A sighting refer
ence by Frederick the Great to Nine.
Pompadour was one of the exciting
causes of the seven years war. An
overturned glass of water was one Of
the contributing elements to another.
The omission of simple ''ete" was
the peg upon which an earlier one was
hung. The theft OF a lady's pettic0at
brought Moors and Sps.niards to blood
shed. The smashing of a mandarins s
teapot was the basis OF war between
the imperial forces of China and hill
tribes which lasted for generations.

And my heart was uHderneath:

it
With blossom and eiinSing wreath:
A voice came. borne on the stiffness:
Though the way Seem hard. be true;
On-Ive thy life for the living
As the dead have lived for YOU
raised my hand unto heaven
And pledge I made that day.
(The Voice had shown me my duty.
And a light shown OH the way.)
And these. the words Of the promise,
That my constant guide shall be:
I'll live my life for the living,
As the dead have lived for me.
The dead since earth WAS created,
Lived they not for you and me?
They made the world that We live in

And live your life for the living

Canary's Annette.

Persons who are very dainty are
sometimes said to have only the appe-
tite OF canary. An experiment has
recently been made in the direction
Of finding out just what the appetite
of a canary is. A canary was weighed
and it was found to turn the scale at
pa grains. or something over half an
ounce. The food was also weighed.
and it was found that the bird eats
Lhirty-two times it's weight every
month. or actually more than it's
weight every day. thus showing that
the proverbial pig is light eater
compared with the canary.

STIMULATING INFUSION MADE IN

and for centuries It has been the
national beverage OF the countries of
South America, while in Paraguay
and Arger' ina it forms the sole slim

usually drunk as a very hot infusion
through metal tube, but it can bs
taken as we take tea and coffee, with
milk and sugar.
Most people. however, acquire the
native habit and prefer to drink it
without admixture. So prepared it is
very bitter, but those who drink it
soon learn to consider it an agreeable
and palatable beverage, Some ma

start work at daybreak and go on
seemingly without fatigue until the
midday meal, five or six hours later,
and this midday meal is the first

Those who have investigated the
properties of mate say that the in

percentage of caffeine and the amount
