Parker, whose wife is taking the part of Juliet in the charity series, objected to our calling her skinny, and waited for us at the theatre last night. Fortunately. we caught him one on the eye, which destroyed some of the effect his objections might otherwise have borne J. Parker is a danger to the community. She IS skinny, anyhow.

Music and Macaroni.

Henry James in a recent work says he thinks the literary critic should never take up book merely to run 1t down, be- cause if there is nothing good in the work why waste time in discussing 1t? Criticisms that are attacks pure and sim pie he regards as cruel
 What, for instance" he asks, "could be more cruel than Rossinis silent criti- cism of score sent to him by young musician? Rosslni was fond of macaron The musician, knowing this. sent him, along with his score. a packet of maca- roni of unusual excellence In a humble little note he asked the composer to point out the merits of his work, if he found any. Rossinfs reply ran like this:
 Thanks for you score and the maca- ron. The latter was excellent.

Sought to Play YorIck.

One of the oldest bequests ever made was that which fell to Irvings lot when an old Yorkshire man died leaving a clause in his will to the effect that the famous actor, of whom he was an ardent admirer was to have his skull, and use it as Yoricks whenever he played Hamlet. Irving, however. respected the wishes of his admirers heirs, executors and assigns and relinquished his claim to the relic.

Attaehe, said at dinner in Washington: 'The strength of the heads of some of our old-school farmers is quite incredible. "At a harvest supper feast similar in it's way to your Thanksgiving dinner, there was an old farmer who drank a good deal of champagne. The moment his glass was filled he would toss it off. and then, of course, it would be filled again. But the old fellow grew quieter and quieter the more champagne he drank. A frown settled on his forehead. His eyes flashed angrily under his heavy gray brows.
 Finally, when the waiter filled his glass with wine for the twelfth or thir- teenth time, he shook his head and said:
 James, when are you going to put the whisky on the table. These minerals are getting tedious.'"

"A practical method has been adopted sn many of the hospitals in Europe and this country of using pure ethync aieo- hol diluted with water to suit the par ticular case There can be no question that the crude unknown forms or alco- bol. as found in brandes, whiskys ana wines of different kinds are exceedingly uncertain and dangerous drugs.

MoNrpELIER's own CELEBRATION,


Montpelier is proud city We know

are yrious signs and indications which

are the proofs that he who reads runs.
In the latest instance that pride becomes
tantamount to haughtiness. 1t is seen
in the project to celebrate the passing
Of the act which made Montpelier the
capital Of the state That was done
along back in the year 1905. It was a
grand event for Montpelier, and we
doubt not that Montpelier fully appre-
ciated it, for the city, then a village
Of less than 500 souls, pulled itself
together and erected state building
as a peace Offering, designed to heal
the wounded feelings Of other ambitious
towns in the state, 1t was an express
sion Of deep thankfulness. But the new
wore of, and Montpelier got to feel that
it Is its birthright to be the capital Of
the commonwealth It may be 50. And
If possession amounts to anything, GER
tainly Montpelier has sixteen points Of
the law. A century has wagged along
its hundred cycles Of time since the
act making the neighboring city the adj
ministratiye center of the state. TO
commemorate the event an agitation
was started outside Of the capital city
for celebration. Then Montpelier's
memory was set ajogging and the city
woke to the fact that it had had the
benefits Of the capital for hundred
years.
Properly, the celebration Of the hun
dredth anniversary Of the founding Of
the capital there is matter Of state
Importance and the last Legislature
should have appropriated a sum Of mon
ey to adequately celebrate the event.
But the state failed to do So The duty
fell, therefore, upon the individual, either
town or citizens. Montpelier has ap-
propriated $1,000. II was limited from
one source mind you, il was not asked
that Montpelier would be pleased TO
be aided in the project by other cities
