The attendance at the Academy of Music
this week shows that people are tired OF pc
ing deprived of amusements and welcome
the opening of that playhouse. The Lyceum
has also drawn good audiences. The next
house to open will be Chases, which Will

aggregated efforts of carpenters, plumbers

the parlors the auditorium, and the stage

to the laborious work performed during the
two months since the closing Of the the

caine. two drachms carbonate of lead, two
drachms powdered arrowroot, one drachm
powdered gum acacia, three ounces olive
oil. If you ind that the remedy Is not all
sufficient you had better seek physician.
Such is the life of the Camper, who Is
now enjoying outdoor life to the full, the
only regret being that the season is all too
short for him or her. and life in the town
and city, with its strict conventlonaAties,
will have to be resumed before the elapSe
of many more weeks. The days and even
ings pass quickly, and it seems but few
weeks when the fall winds turn the trees
brown and gold; the dead leaves litter the
camping grounds and the tents are housed
until apple blossom time returns again.

Card Parties at Memphis.
ON the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago tribune
The mayor of Memphis intimates that In
his city women play for prizes Of considera-
BILE value when they meet together in the
absence of their husbands and brothers, and
that If gambling is to be stopped in Mem
phis 1t will be necessary to extend the
law over both sexes.
The mayor does not say that he has
ever known Of womans breaking her
employers till in order to stake the con-
testants at euchre party. He does not
say that he has known Of many euchre
parties that led to insolvency and suicide.
He does not say that whole city depart
ments take whole afternoons off In order
to go to watch euchre parties. He knows,
of course that all these things-theft, in
solvency suicide and neglect of civic
duty-are frequent consequences of the
kind of gambling that prevails among
men. He chooses to heighten the risk of
proceeding against masculine gambling
Of giving feminine gambling a little no.
tice.
Well and good. Let the mayor of Mem
phis raid a few euchre parties and come
away with cards, pencils, puckered fore
heads, fearful eyes and other feminine
gambling paraphernalia. Memphis can
give up euchre in order to get rid of GER
tain other things. And 1t would be worth
while to give up euchre in this case sim.
ply in order to put stop to the euchre
party argument which municipal officials
to proceed against faro. The privilege
of playing euchre Is not sufficient COM
pensation for having to listen to that
argument.

Superfuous Things.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

FROM the Ph1iadelphfa Ledger.
An English writer has been deyotine his
attention to the elimination of unneces-
sary things, and has succeeded in pre-
senting tentative list of articles which
mankind does not need. Like many other
propagandists of a new cult, he goes to
extremes in certain instances, but on
the whole. makes out a pretty good case.
He holds, to begin with. that the resi-
dent of a city does not require a watch.
He goes so far as to say that an UNI
brella is not Indispensable, and cites Lord
Beaconsfield. who never carried an UNI
brella, as an illustrfous example. when
1t rained he took refuge under the UNI
brella of the prettiest woman he could
see." The silk hat is tabooed by this
iconoclast. In his inventory of super
fiuous things we find the flap that covers
the keyhole of the front door which
often sadly interferes with the entrance
of the belated and perhaps bibuloua
householder. 1T is redeemed from alb
solute futiity by Its power of occasional
annoyance" He inquiries as to the use of
in his senses wants a tassel on an UNI
brella."
Why are there two buttons, or even
one, on the sleeve of a coat? The writer
took census of his buttons and found
that sixty OF them were unnecessary. He
Is particularly anxious as to the two but
tons behind on frock coat. Taking a
survey of the whole human family, he
finds that there are s00.O0O,000 buttons
worn. all of them useless. No one has
discovered the necessity for fourteen or
sixteen pockets concealed in mems
clothes. This Is the limit OF superiority.
