THEATER ON MOUNTAIN TOP
Opera House at Thale, Germany, Is
the Most Novel Resort in
the World.

Probably the most novel theater in
the world Is that which was recently
opened at Thale, in Germany. The
theater is on the summit of mountain,
and is surrounded on all sides by steep
rocks; the seats for the audience are
hewn out of the rock and accommodate
1000 persons, and the stage, which is
also hewn out of the rock, is so feet long
by 81 feet wide. No artificial scenery
is used, but the background is formed
by the dense forest and by the outlines
of the mountains in the distance. The
dressing-room for the actors is close
at hand in the forest, but completely
hidden from the audience. The theater
is fully protected from the wind, and its
acoustic properties are so excellent that
every word is heard.

BUSY LAKE SEASON ENDS,
More Traffic This Year on Great
Bodies of Water Than
Ever Before.

1.-THE great lakes are about to see
the close of one of the busiest seasons
they have ever known" said a lake
captain in the Washington Post "a
large number of immense new vessels
were added to the carrying fleets this
year, but the increase in capacity was
not sufficient to meet the increased de-
mand. No vessel, no matter of what
class, ever had to be without a cargo.
One OF the big steel vessels of to-day
carries as much as rs or 80 vessels of
the type in use a few years ago, and
they make their trips in about one
fourth or one-fifth the time. Why, Al
we had to depend on the old-timers,
the great lakes would have TO have
more ships, numerically. than there
are on all the seas in the world"

The Leading Hand.

In old days there were angels who
came and took men by the hand and
led them away from the city of de-
struction. We see no white-winged
angels now. But yet men are led away
from threatening destruction; a hand
is put into theirs, which leads them
forth gently towards a calm and
bright land, so that they look no more
backward; and the hand may be a lit

The Christmas Spirit.

It is the desire and effort to con-
tribute to the happiness of others that
makes Christmas the most delightful
of all our holidays. Children at first,
perhaps, think most of the gifts that
they may receive, but every wise par
ent teaches the child to be a giver
as well as receiver, and to find the
deeper joy of the Christmas time in
doing something for the pleasure of
some one else. The maxim, 1T is
more blessed to give than to receive"
is one of those beautiful statements
that is easy to approve, but one never
knows how true it is until one finds
it verified in experience. We often
make the mistake of thinking that
giving" consists in the bestowal of
some material thing. But it really
consists in devotion to another of
what we have; it may be money, or
time, or skill, or thoughtfulness, or pa
tience. There is no one so poor that
he cannot give another something.
That is the real Joy of Christmas time.
If we carried the Christmas spirit into
all the days of the year we would
make life infinitely sweeter and hap
pier.

Toxic, Feb. 18-According to re-
ports from the Shakhe river the Rus
SLAMS are showing increased activity
on both fanks and are extending and
Strengthening their right. They also
seem to be concentrating heavy force
on their left in front of General Ku-
roki. Fushun is the base of the late
operations and it is estimated that the
Russians there number six divisions.
The impression exists that General
Kuropatkin is preparing to assume the
aggressive. The weather is still un-
favorable, but the excessive cold will
soon be over.
Chinese reports to the effect that
General Kuropatkin is preparing to
abandon the Shakhe river line and
retire northward are discredited here.
