''M'Liss."

Yuba Bill and Miss, the two
central figures in the favorite
melodrama which is taken from
Bret Harte's story of the same
name, are typical characters and
products of the Western country.
No other author has ever succeed
ed in transferring the actual peo-
pie of this locality into black
and white. so ably as did Bret
Harte, and his story of Miss is
reckoned as one of the best tales
of it's kind that has ever been
written. A handsome revival OF
the play which was made from
the story is to be presented at the
Saturday night by
Nellie McHenry and an extremely
well balanced company, so it Is
under the management
Of Spencer & Aborn.

ECCENTRIC WILLS.

BENJAMIN franklin Left Small Sum
Which Is Now Available.
When BENJAMIN Franklin died, in
1890. he left a small sum of money,
which was not to- be used until the
twentieth century, His gift is at last
available, and the sum now amounts
to $4,000, having been invested at
compound interest, says the Pittsburg
Press. The trustees of the Franklin
fund have decided to use the money
for the erection of Franklin insti-
tute in Franklin square, Boston. Curl
GUS provisions made by will are more
common than one would suppose.
Within the last few months, there have
been several examples of eccentric dis
posals Of property. To one young
woman has been left $4,000 by her
brother under the express condition
that she neither marries nor becomes
a nun, If the conditions are not full
filed, the money is to be distributed
among other relatives. To his three
daughters an Italian who recently died
left 5000 a yeex each if they remained
single and $500 each year If they
married. A late member of the En-
glish parliament left by will to his two
daughters $4,000, with the provision
that the money is only to be payable If
thew attain the age Of IS years, without
marrying either citizen of the
United States or a Hebrew.

he at least up TO, II not slfgnLly ABOVE
the average. But for heavy frosts
during early April in the provinces Of
Malaga and Granada there would have
heen an unusually large yield. The ia
nous Jodran almonds of commerce
are grown exclusively in the province
Of Malaga and from. 125;000 to 10000
boxes is a fair average crop. Valen-
cia' almonds are also Malaga pro-
duet and an average yield would be
about 175;OOO boxes, which, in addi-
tion to the Jordan almonds, would in
dictate a total crop this year of about
400. 900 boxes. Malaga raisins are ia
nous all. ever the world. At present
the production, which has grown
smaller some years ago because Of the
ravages of the phylloxera, is on the in
crease. A good average crop would
mean about l. 100000 boxes. Last year,
owing to the floods and storms, the
crop was short many thousand boxes,
and in all the commercial history OF
Malaga there never was known such
fuctuation in prices. Merchants as
rule had a bad year and lost large
sums of money. This year there is
every promise of an abundant crop of
ane quality, with good ruling prices

Some Oid-Time Recipes.

Some of the recipes in quaint old
book were intended specially for a
''lord's' table. For instance, a pike
was to be served whole to "a lorde,"
alte." Cabbages were to be thickened
with grated bread for ordinary peo-
pie, but served with yolks of eggs for
"lorde." The dishes at this time
used at table were either gold or
silver for great occasions and wooden
trenchers and platters for ordinary
use. It was not till the time of Queen
Elizabeth that plates of metal and
earthenware began to- be generally
used instead of wood.

Broke Leg in Catching Fly.

There have been many cases where
ball players in throwing the sphere
about have fractured their arms at
the elbows or the shoulder, but the
records show only one instance where
a player ever broke both legs in at
tempting to catch a fly ball. Umpire
King, one of the American leagues
Judges of play, several years ago,
while taking part in a game, ran after
foul fly. He misjudged it and in
suddenly turning around to make the
catch he fractured both knee caps.
AS a result of this queer accident he
was confined to his bed for seven
months and never played ball again.

HIT THE NAIL STRAIGHT.

PhiIadeIphian's Trite Remark Well
Expressed the Situation.
A well-known minister, in an adj
dress, praised the quiet and domestic
type of life.
"Give me-" he said, s'the evenings
spent at home-evenings around the
bright fire, the father and mother alb
sorbed in good books, the children alb
sorbed in innocent games. That is
the typical American evening, and l
AM glad it is so common in the West.
In the East, am sorry to say, it be-
comes more rare each year.
1T was to an advocate of these
quiet evenings, Philadelphia of for
ty or so, that his gay wife said one
day:
John, we haven't chairs enough
for our company.
"'There are plenty of chairs, the
man replied, but too much COM
pany.'"

Thought of Meeting Irate Mother-in'

Henpecked husbands are not I'M
known in China. They have story
there about three henpecked hus-
bands, who met in secluded spot on
the outskirts of the village to discuss
their troubles. A bad boy thought it
would be fun to play a practical joke
on them, so he broke on their DELHI
erations with the dreadful news that
the three venerable sisters-in-law-
they call married women sisters-in-law
in China-were coming down the
street, each with broomstick. Two
of the men rushed in terror to the
door to see if it were true and, finding
that they had been deceived, returned
to find their companion undisturbed
in his place. AS he had always been
as timid as any of them they could
not understand and resolved to ask
the secret Of his courage. It was
speedily revealed. for when they
spoke to him he did not answer.

Society's New Game-Siberian Whist

Society's New Game-Siberian Whist.
The London Express says that ST.
berian whist seems to be causing GER
tain amount of interest among the vo-
taries of bridge, but up to now is not
much understood in England, although
it is very much in vogue at Constanti-
nople and in Russia. It can be made
a much more gambling game than
bridge, as, although there is no doubl-
ing, az in the former, the players can
outhid each other in the making Of
trumps, and the consequent penalties
on the losing of tricks may amount to
as. much as 5000 points. Indeed, it is
possible to lose as much with penny
points at Siberian whist as at bridge
with points at a shilling.

Women and Nature.

Here is a neat passage from "The
Napoleon of Noting HILL" in which
Mr. Chesterton discussed feminine
nature: 'However much, physically,
about town woman may be; she
still models herself on nature; she
tries to carry nature with: her; she
bids grasses to grow on her head and
furry beasts to bite her about the
throat. In the heart Of dim city
she models her hat on flaring cot
tage garden of flowers. We, with our
noble civic sentiment, model ours on
a chimney-pot, the ensign Of ciyiliza-
tion.''

EXAMINING THE DOCTORS.
Partially Educated Physicians Menace
Health OF the Public.

Partially Educated Physicians Menace
Health OF the Public.
Medical examinations in this state
are strict, but not severe, says the
Philadelphia Times. Certainly no per-
son should be allowed to take human
life into his hands unless he was able
to answer the few questions that are
asked, and yet those who fail consider
their fate a personal hardship. They
probably forget the interests of the
people they would practice upon, if al
lowed to hang out their signs. Con-
slider for moment that in many other
states in this country young men en-
ter at once into the practice of medi-
cine from imperfectly managed schools
which turn them out in short order. II
put to the Pennsylvania test, they
could never practice medicine, but
with imperfect educations, with scant
training, and as a rule with little ma
tural aptitude fer the work, they
physic the body and occasionally OPP
crate upon it with knives and saws.
Considering the thousands Of partially
educated doctors who are turned upon
the country every year, it is wonderful
that the longevity of the nation is In
creasing. Still that may be explained
by the fact that most sensible people
nowadays are not taking medicine ex-
cept under compulsion, and many of
our best doctors are stronger In de-
mands about food, exercise and fresh
air than they are about their prescrip-
tons. The wife of ONE Of the most
successful and most noted physicians
in this country complained the other
day that she never got an opportunity
to give her children medicine, except
when the doctor was called out OF
town.-Philadelphia Times.

Wonders of Flowers.

The sensitiveness of plants and
flowers to certain conditions OF wealth.
er and light is such that it is always
possible that they may have other
properties not yet discovered. There
is. an American garden, for instance.
in which the flowers are so selected
that one set closes at each hour of
the day. Others only open and shed
perfume at night, others curl up and
suppress their existence for months,
yet will open in few minutes and
put forth buds in a few hours when
immersed in water:
