ErRRh Air.

Fresh air is prophylactic. 1t wards
off disease and kills bacteria. No per-
son who leads an outdoor life will ever
die of consumption. On the other
hand, hundreds of consumptives have
lived for years by keeping continually
in the open, even sleeping on cots
placed in tents or on piazzas.-Albany

an exciting one and drawing card.

Lewiston, Me-, Feb. SIS ,eciaD.-
| With the arrival of the professional;

show much interest was aroused about

fessional coach. has been putting on
| the finishing touches for the last few
days, and, tonight, the Boston black
face comedians, Higgins brothers and
O'Brien and West, will rehearse with
the college boys.
The minstrel show is by far the larg-
est undertaking in the theatrical line
ever launched by any of the college
clubs, and if the rehearsals are a cri-
terion the boys will surely make a hit
on their week S trip through the State
Billy" Van. the former manager of
Vans Minstrels. was engaged early in
the winter to coach and manage the
undertaking. He has not only brought
out a specially fine college chorus and
circle, but he has secured four pro-
fessionals to aid the boys. The Hig-
gins brothers have recently been en-
ployed in the 3. F. Keith circuit Of met

F. H. Blake of the class of 1906 is
most conspicuous among the student
talent. His dance is original and his
songs catchy.
The circle and chorus is composed
of members of the GIee

both love and wisdom new definitions.
Learn to love yourself with Il love
that is wise and healthy that is large

active charity in the egoism of a siren

There is both the mystical and the

A great many anecdotes are told
about the late Mrs. John Sherwood,
who vas f1nous among her friends as
one of the most kindly and delightful
of women. and among the public as the
author of that standard manual of
etiquette. Manners and Social Usages.
Among them is the following. which
has heretofore evaded print. Several
years ago Mrs. Sherwood was visiting a
friend who had two young lady nieces
living in the neighborhood These
nieces had often heard of Mrs. Sher-
wood, the granie dame of many
functions, the intellectual companion of
the great, the accomplished and feted
traveller and they hoped. as they were
just out of college, to make upon her
that impression of intelligence and Gull
ture to which the high-minded young
woman aspires. Accordingly they rode
over to their aunts daily upon the most
graceful of wheels, in the most correct
bicycle costumes. and cOnversed
seriously and Intellectually with Mrs.
Sherwood, who was all patience and
and she departed. sending back the
customary letter of appreciation to her
hostess. The nieces arrived simultane-
ously with the letter.
'Oh. Aunt, is it from Mrs. Sherwood?
What did she think of Us? Does she
seem to think we are-are-"
"She says replied the aunt, scam
ming the letter-"she says. Convey my
kind remembrances to the girls with
