LAsT NIGHTS Play.

LAST NIGHTS PLAY.
Pensacola has been fortunate to see
many musical comedies which were
better in every respect than The Cir
From kay's," and it has been also
unfortunate to witness performances
of this nature with considerably less
merit
There is one good feature about
The Girl From Kay's"-it improves
with each act. At the opening most
people felt already the spell of disap-
pointment casting its shadow over the
occasion, but after the appearance Of
Jack Bernard as Max Hoggenheimer,
the Jew millionaire, the clouds OF
dullness began TO roll away and the
spirit of levity prevailed. Mr.. Ber-
nard made an ideal Jew, ever on the
alert to guard his possessions and
constantly figuring in his social ma
neuyering how to compromise. The in
depreciation was so well presented, so
accurately and infinitely portrayed,
that his every word and gesture call
ed forth storms of laughter from the
audience.
The singers as a whole were but
ordinary, but some of them possessed
excellent voices. and repeated hits
were made by several of them.
The piece was well costumed, but
the scenic effect was poor, in fact,
about as poor as it could possibly be-
Some Of the musical members were
great hits, among them being Tips, ."
THE Girl From Kay's," "Semi-De-
tached," Make 1t Up" and "Sufi-
ciency."S These songs with encore
were very acceptable.
All in all there is absolutely nothing
to THE Girl From Kay's" Without
Mr.. Bernard in the play the piece
would be rotten. Even then he has
nothing upon which to hang his abili-
ties. The best part of the comedy
was the purely Bernard Comedy"

How Much One should Eat.

HOW muCh OhG ShOuAu ASANs
One of the much discussed questions
of the day on which there are almost
as many opinions as individuals is the
quantity Of food one should eat. Doc
tors all agree that the majority of peO-
pie eat too much. Babies from the day
of their birth are forced to eat too
much, and they grow up with this art
fetal appetite. The most reasonable
estimate yet made is probably that
which fixes one-twentieth of the aver
age weight of the body as the average
daily quantity required. If you weigh
40 pounds you should consume seven
pounds of food. This includes drink
as well as solid food. But it is ridicu-
lous 70 set down, a hard and fast rule
Such a quantity might kill some, and
there is a case on record of a man
wasting away on a diet of seven
or eight pounds of food day. He
cut down his diet to three-quarters of
a pound OF liquid and the same Of
solid food, ard as a result he grew
stout and lived to a ripe old age.

Siamese Love For Games of Chance.
The Siamese are devoted to the holi-
day making and ceremonies and pro-
cessions which accompany the most
important anniversaries or incidents Of
life, death and religion and which
cause an infinite amount Of money to
be squandered and time lost.
They love consolidating, a sort
of shuttiecock football and fighting
with cocks. crickets, beetles and fish,
though it IS TO be surmised that the
main attraction of these pursuits con-
sists in the scope thereby afforded for
betting and gambling, which are the
cardinal national vices.
a Siamese will stake money on any

ist in the cities and are a large source
OF income to the government, which

New Era in India.

Experiments checked by highly
trained officials of the Geological Sur
vey Department of the Government Of
India show that the demand for coke
for the blast furnaces will render prof
liable the extraction at Indian collieries
of coal tar and ammonium sulphate,
both valuable b~y-products. For this
purpose sulphuric acid factories are to
be set up in Western Bengal to utilize
the hitherto improbable deposits of
sulphureus copper ore which have long
been known to exist in the Chota Nag
pur district.
This means that India is about to
enter the field az a producer of both
copper and chemical MANURE Is well as
of iron and aluminium. Its cheap
labor, abundant raw materials, and
enormous local markets gives it a po-
sition of great advantage in this con-
nection.
Already Indian coal supplies nearly
all the requirements Of Southern Asia,
to the exclusion Of Cardiff coal. Indian
jute mills have secured almost a
monopoly of the supply of sacks for the
grain producing world. Indian tea is
driving Chinese tea before it from St.
Petersburg to New York. Iron and
steel are already being manufactured
on q small scale in Bengal. The de-
yelopments which are pending have the
history of the past upon their side

Dry Weather Plants.

In damp regions the roots of peren-
NAL plants sink deeply and sustain a
great growth above ground. In a mod
erately dry climate plants develop
bulky roots and store up supplies which
outlast the summer drouth; or the
plants themselves, as in the case of the
cactuses, become feshy reservoirs Of
water and food. In the extreme des-
ert neither CT these resources is avail
able, and perennial herbs are conse-
quently few. Only stunted shrubs and
hardy ANNALS are able to exist at all,
the former growing very slowly, with
toughneSs of texture, the latter flourish
ing briefly during the spring rains, de-
voting little energy to making stem or
leaves or fowers-mostly inconspicuous
and wind-fertilized - and fastening

Baked Mushrooms-A half pound Of
large mushrooms will be needed, with
a half teaspoonful of minced parsley,
an ounce of bread crumbs, three ia
blespoonfuls of salad oil, salt, pepper
and a little lemon juice. Put half
oil in the baking dish and sprinkle
with half the bread crumbs, half tho
parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Lay
half the mushrooms on this and put
on the rest of the oil, bread crumbs,
seasoning and parsley. Bake half an
hour, and just before serving dust
with cayenne pepper.
Almond Layer Cake-An almond fill.
ing for layer cake is a favoTite in the
Boston Cooking School. A quarter Of
a pound of almond paste is beaten
with the yolk Of an egg until smooth.
then add, one after another, the yolks
of four more eggs, beating thoroughly
each time an egg yolk goes into the
mixture. Two tablespoonfuls of but.
ter, two ounces of blanched almonds
chopped fine. half a cupful Of sugar,
and half a cupful of hot milk. Cook
in q double boiler until. stirring con-
stantly, the. mixture thickens. Flavor,
when cold, with vanilla. Use this be-
tween the cake layers and ice the en-.
tire cake, trimming it with blanched
almonds.
Hungarian Salad-What to Eat rec
ommends this Hungarian salad: Cut
two Spanish onions in slices, putting
them in a large bowl and pouring boil
ing water over them, letting the onions
remain in the water for just one min
ute. Drain and plunge into ice water,
letting them remain for several hours.
Prepare four long green cucumbers by
pairing and slicing and letting them
remain in ice water for the same length
Of time. Drain the onions and cucum-
bers and place them in a bowl, pour
ing over them a French dressing. This
quantity seems rather large. A Span
ish onion sliced fills a great deal of
space. One onion TO four cucumbers
ought TO be about right.
Chops en- Casserole-Crops in the cas-
serole are very good. One way of cook
ing them is TO remove all the fat and
season with salt and pepper. In the
casserole put a layer of sliced tomatoes,
or, in winter. some well-drained canned
tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with
salt, pepper, a little chopped onion.
and ever so little sugar. Lay several
chops on the tomatoes, and add a few
mushrooms and some diced raw pota-
toes. Add more tomatoes, then more
chop, and have tomatoes for the top
layer. Moisten with a cupful of stock,
preferably chicken stock. and cook
slowly for two hours. A little kitchen
bouquet is an addition.

eHIcIN OF THE ARAB HORSE,
Peculiar Marking of This Type OF ths
Eastern Steed.

The eminent naturalist, MI. Richard
Lydekker, reports an interesting dis
covery in connection with the origin of
the thoroughbred horse. Recently he
wrote to the London Times asking for
the skulls of pedigree horses for the
British Museum. In explanation of
that request he explains that it was
recently noticed that a horse skull from
India in the British Museum showed a
slight depression in front Of the eye,
evidently representing the pit for the
face-gland like that of a DEER, which
existed in the extinct three-toed hip
parions, or primitive horses. "A similar
depression was detected in the skulls
of the races Stockwell and Bend Or
and of an Arab horse. Subsequently,
Professor Lancaster and Mr.. Lydekker
ascertained that it exists also in the
skulls of the famous racers Eclipse,
Orlando and Hermit. Thus far they
have failed to detect it in those of any
Of the ordinary English and Continen-
tai horses. On the other hand, it exists
in a less rudimentary condition in the
fossil true horses of India. Apparent.
~, this face-gland rudimeat exists in
the skulls of all thoroughbred and Arab
horses, and is absent in those Of Euro
pean horses. The presumption is that
the Arab and the thoroughbred (as has
been suggested on other grounds) have
an origin quite apart from the horses
of Western Europe-presumably from
an Eastern form related to the fossil
horses of India. To convert this pre-
sumption into a certainty requires a
much larger series of pedigree horse
skulls than the British Museum now
possesses, and this is why Mr.. Lydek.
ker is anxious to secure as many addi-
tional specimens as possible.

Cleaning

Directions for cleaning carpets on the
floor ave given in the House Beautiful.
The same method might be used to
clean rugs: Make a suds with good
white soap and hot water and add
fulIer's earth to this until it is Of the
consistency Of thin cream. Have plenty
of clean drying cloths, a small scrub
bling brush, a large sponge. and a pail
of fresh water. Put some of the clean
ing mixture in a bowl and dip the
brush it it. Brush a small piece Of
the carpet with this, then wash with
the sponge and cold water. Dry as
much as possible with the sponge and
finally rub dry with clean cloths. Con-
tinue this until certain all the carpet
is cleaned, and then let dry"

Housecleaning as Exercise.

You can make work play or play
work according to your temperament.
You can sweep yourself into an invalid
by doing it wrong, and you can end a
half-month's housekeeping with rosy
cheeks and a light heart if you have
the right training and the spirit of hap
piness in you.
First Of all. practice breathing and
walking correctly. It's just half breath
ing and walking in a heap that wears
out most women. 1t is not action.
Stand straight, chest high always
high, shoulders low, spine erect, abdo-
men drawn back; stand this way, walk
this way and work this way.
Then breathe slowly, filling the lungs
with air, expel it slowly and W let
your chest sag. A chest out Of plump
means weak lungs, round shoulders.
anaemic bust and poor circulation, and
equally important, a figure wholly de-
void of style.
Next, dress sensibly. This doesn't
mean to put on a fresh shirt waist and
stiff linen collar and snowy apron, and
be miserably neat all day. 1t near
to do your housekeeping in boomers,
coming just to the knees, loose and full
and washable.
Wear golf stockings; low, stout, COM
Portable shoes. and see what fun you
can get out of the March bugbear.
One point more: To keep absolutely
free from colds. to avoid the exhaust
ing reaction that comes from a super
abundance of unwonted physical exer-
ton, always end up the days work
with a quick bath, preferably a cold
plunge, though a lukewarm sponge is
very restful.
Have your room warn and the water,
without fail, soft. If you can't get
rain water, soften the ordinary well
or city water with pure borax. If you
put a teaspoonful of borax powder into
a tub Of water. the water will feel to
the skin as though it dripDed to the
caves in a June shower.
No matter whether your bath is
warm or cold. soften the water with
borax to Get the best effect. 1t not
only softeDs rhe water, but gives it the
power of cleaning antiseptically. and
is a stimulation to the skin, leaving it
