At the Crawford.

Among the picturesque scenes that
abound in Mrs. Fiske's production of
Mary of Magdala." to be seen at the
Crawford on Saturday, March ., is one
showing a junction of streets in Jerusa-
lem. The setting used reproduces not
only the Jerusalem of Jilate's time, but
also the Jerusalem of today for the city
has changed little with the passing of
centuries Travellers who have been in
the Orient declare that the picture is
accurate in all its details of architec
ture. The costuming of the populace that
thrOngs the streets is also true to the
period of the play and the fabrics used
in making the costumes were secured in
the Holy land. To this scene the ad-
mirable stage direction of Mrs. Fiske has
impaired wealth of animation and at
mosphere. The life of the ancient city
is graphically pictured in a hundred bits
of business" For several moments
none of the principal characters appear
on the scene. its movement being en-
trusted to minor players, each of whom
has his or her part in giving color and
reality to this unusual feat of stage di
rection. The originality of Mrs. Fiskes

Driving Ostrich to Wagon.

The work of breaking an ostrich to
harness requires infinite patience. He
wears a collar at the base of his neck,
and from this straps are passed under
meath his body and attached to the
wagon. No bit is placed in his mouth,
the reins being simply tied over his
bill. In driving him the reins are
crossed, for the reason that he will in.

from that in which is head is pulled
If you pull his head over to the left,

it back and swerye to the right. Just

Whatever the reason. ehis habit is a
great advantage to the trainer, for
with the lines crossed he can be driv.

Korean a Hard tanouaoe.

Korean is difficult language to
learn. Trifling errors are likely to lead
a foreigner into great embarrassment.
1t was only the smallest mistake that
led an impassioned preacher to warn
his congregation that unless they re-
pented they would be relegated to "a
cellar"-the Korean word for cellar
and the neither world being almost
identical. In like manner the story
of Lazarus. who fell sick, was told to
a Sunday school class with an unau.
thorized ending. The native form cf
expression is entering sickness" :"
anu by trifing confusion the teach
er was made to declare that Lazarus

Linen From Wood puIu,

Fifty years ago practically all the
paper In use was made from rags
preferably linen rags. To-day most
of 1t is made from wood pulp. Now, If
the plans OF certain experimenters are
carried out, the linen itself, or a good
substitute for 1t. will be made from
wood pulp. Artificial silk made from

market, and the demand s-said to ex-
coed the supply. A process has been

Remedial Value Of lioht.

Prof. Finsen's death recalls a curl.
GUS fact about his discovery Of the
remedial value of light. In one re-
spect it was a striking example Of the
scientific return to a superstitious
practice. His researches led to his
theoretical conclusion that red light
would reduce suffering in smallpox
and prevent permanent marking of
the skin. Experiment has confirmed
his theory. But the curious thing
is that medieval doctors prescribed
for smallpox and fever patients Sc
clusion in rooms hung with scarlet
cloths and in books little more than a
decade old this treatment is ridiculed
as an example of the quackery from
which modern medicine has delivered
mankind.

Deep Valley. Pa. Oct al.-(Spe-
