All the standing room allowed was occupied in the thea ter, the audience composed of the city's best and most prominent citizens.
 Mrs. Fay in her marvellous thauma- turgical act mystified and amazed, as usual. She made many happy and astounding hits, and the audience was alternately roaring with laughter and the more susceptible-shuddering over the tragic, or sad, predictions made by the seeress.

DUKE OF KILLICRANKIE.

Something of the popularity of '"The Duke of Killicrankie,' at the Hyperion theater next Thursday evening, may be gathered from the fact that it has not only played the longest engagement of any piece at the Empire theater, New York, this season, but that it is even now being given in London, where it was first produced, by MT. Frohman's s English company. To see it is to be- lieVe that it was especially written for John Drew. so delicately. masterly and perfectly does he acquit himself in the role of the eccentric duke.
 In few words, the plot centers about the young, eccentric Duke of Killicran- kie, who, after three unsuccessful pro- posals, has decoyed the beautiful Lady Addison to his Scottish castle, entan- gling in the same trap Mrs. Mulholland, as chaperon, and MT. Pitt Welby, M. F., as general assistant. The strategy used by the duke to obtain the lady's hand, while at the same time observing the necessary conventions of social life; the defeat of his plans by the Iady's own cleverness, and the journeys at wit and repartee between Pitt-Welby and Mrs. Mulholland-all charmingly sus- pended in it's solution until the very last line-are really beyond description and must be seen to be adequately ap- preciated. Seats will be on sale Tues day.

FOR CARE OF HIGHWAYS.
Representative Bennett's Bill Approved
 hv Commissioner Macdonald

RepreSentat1Ver BennettS Bill Approved by Commissioner Macdonald.
 Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald, of this city, endorses the bill which Representative Bennett, of Cheshire, has before the legislature, the purpose of which is to provide for the care of the highways improved through aid of the state appropriation. ~ Commissioner Macdonald is, as every one knows, an enthusiast on the matter of state highways, and it is his great hope to see Connecticut's roads second to none in the Union.
 There are all told 15,00O miles of roads in the state and just one-third are main highways.
 Representative Bennett's bill provides that the state shall appropriate enough money this session to repair the state highways already built, so that the money already expended may not be lost.
 The good roads movement in this state is ten years old, and, in the esti- nation of commissioners from other states, great deal has been accom- plished, considering the amount of money which the state has appropriat- cd for the purpose. .sss5t N@sase&..'5

have been put through an extractor or

enough to cover it, and boiled for half

To make wax sheets use board three

board is next put in water to cool for
little while, after which it is taken
out, the edges trimmed with a sharp
knife and two sheets Of wax peeled of.
To make these wax sheets the wax
must not be toe hot or it will crack.

The 4Tale OF a Tub"


One Of the most ancient Of all sea
yarns" Is one that ships have escaped
from the fearsome monsters Of the
deep BY throwing them a tub to divert
their attention, In much the same way
that q laldsman might sacrifice gar
ment In order to escape q bull. IN
MINISTER'S "Cosmography," published
in 154s, there is a picture Of vessel
escaping from a whale by this strata
gem, while the earlier editions OF
Swift's Tale Of Tub" have similar
one. These stories were usually teld
In such an ircoherent way that people
became skeptical Of their truth, and
when a pleader named Tubb put d
cause before Sir Thomas More In out
rageously rambling language that chan
cellor jocularly remarked, Here is a
tale Of q tub" Thereafter the express
sion became part of the slang Of the
period until much later it was raised
to higher rank by becoming the title
of STift's famous work.
