THE KNEIsEL QUARTETTE.

THE KNEISEL QUARTETTE.
 The Kneisel quartette is to give tine final university chamber concert of the season Wednesday evening in Lampson lyceum. This course is now in it's nine- teenth year, and is a most valuable factor in the education of the musical taste of the community. The concerts during these many years have been of the highest order, and no expense has been spared to secure the best artists.
 The Kneisel duartette, which has played the most prominent part in the chamber concert course, and the cele- brated Joachim quartette of Berlin are without doubt the greatest organiza- tions of their kind in existence. How ever. during the last few years Herr Joachim has lost some of the technical facility which he possessed In his prime. and with his decline the playing of the quartette has deteriorated. The Kneisels on the other hand are still on the upward path and show no signs of staleness or lack of enthusiasm.
 Their concerts are invariably a de- light and are far above criticism in any respect It is fortunate that lovers of good music have this opportunity for hearing the remarkable quartet at a price within the reach of all,
 The concert Wednesday evening will be given in Lampson lyceum. This is the second season of chamber concerts in this beautiful auditorium. The ly- ceum has proved itself an ideal hall for music of this kind. It is spacious enough to accommodate comgortably the audience, and yet not so large as to destroy the intimacy between the performers and listeners, so essential in chamber concerts, The beauty of phrasing, and the refinement of shad- ing displayed by the Qneisel quartette would be quite lost in large room.
 Tickets of admission to Wednesdays concert may be obtained at the bur sars office in Lampson hall or at Stein- ert's music store.

at the Biiou theater will present the laughable farce comedy, My Uncle from Japan" It is one of those farces that is constructed for laughing pur- poses only, and while there is plot to the play, it only tends to blend the lines in such manner as to create amuse- ment. It is a series of gross misunder- standings and mix-ups between a young lawyer and his uncle which causes all the laughter; then there is the hen pecked husband who married for mon- ey, and numerous other characters that tend to create incessant laughter It is nothing but laughs from start to finish nothing else is claimed for it, The play has been presented by the stock company before in other cities, but this will be it's first production in this city, and, judging from the many press com- ments, it Is safe to say that 1t will re- ceive a cordial welcome from the pa irons of the cosy Bijou theater. The management claims that it will be a week of joyous laughter, not even the trace of tear being in evidence. Pre- ceding the play one-act playlet enti- tied "A Story of the Heart will be pre- sented by Everett Butterfield and James Gordon, The sketch was writ ten by MT.

REASONS FOR HEAD HUNTING.

It Is a Token of Valor to Decapitate
 a Man-Dyaks of Borneo.
 The principal reasons for which heads are taken may be summed up in a few words First, as a sign of valor and token of manhood, and, second, as a ready method of keeping the score in blood feud. Some of my readers may be surprised that I stop short at two reasons, for it is common belief in England that the wild Dyak of Bor- GO is in the habit of proving around with a large knife, like the lion of Scripture, seeking whom he may ve- vour," and also that he collects heads in much the same way as his white brother collects. postage stamps or but terfies. This however, is far from be- ing the case, and the native of the far interior is in realty a very mild savage whose principal vice is the ha- bit of becoming extremely intoxicated on a fermented drink which he makes from a far too large portion Of his rice crop.
 We will briefly analyze the first of the two reasons given above for which the young buck sallies forth on a head hunt. Undoubtedly in days gone by the possession of head implied that the owner, or rather the new owner, had successfully met and con- quered an enemy. The young brave swaggered him with newly acquired | trophy, feeling that he had at last donned the toga virilis, and was enti- tied to marry wife and join in the councils of the men. Festivities were held, large quantities of tapia (rice wine) were consumed, and the hero of the hour, having taken possession of room in the married portion of the | long house, that shelters the whole of aDyak village, and found a damsel to share it, would proceed to hang up the head as proudly as his English brother hangs up his first sporting trophy,
 Times have deteriorated since these good old days, and to find the reason il faut chercher la famme. The young matron whose huband had three heads hanging before his room would sheer at the woman whose spouse could boast but two, and the latter probably nagged at and badgered (for women are alike the world over) till he went out and procured another. And so by degrees the first question asked by prospective father-in-1aw of a suitor off his daughters hand came to be not How much brassware have your" but How man heads have you?" and no selfrespecting girl would look at a man who could not boast of two or three. Wellknowing this, the ardent lover would take good care to provide him. self with the necessary number As time went on successive generation be- came less particular as to the way the heads were procured, till at the present day a head is merely a head, no matter what age or sex of the original owner.

"BEH1ND THE MASK

A new play, by one of America's suc- cessful authors, Edmund Day, will be the attraction at the New Haven thea- ter on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day nights, March 26, 27, 2S and at the matinee Wednesday. The title is Be hind the Mask" It tells a story of a man wGlo had his start in the early days of Colorado as a gambler in the rough mining camps of that state. He has reformed and risen to a place of high standing in the social life of Dem yer but is found by his old associates, and by threats of blaclSmail forced to aid them in their nefarious enterprises. Bob COurtaine a young detective att tached to the United States secret ser vice, enters the story in hunting down q gang of criminals, perating on the same principals as the big business trusts of today His love for the daughter of the man whom it is his duty to bring to justice furnishes the strong heart interest that helps to make the play so interesting,
 Some of the scenes have been painted from photographs taken especially in the mountains of Colorado, and a moonlight view of the great George town loop on the Colorado Midland is one of the most beautiful and natural scenes ever placed upon the stage.
 The characters are well drawn and the comedy element reigns supreme Behind the Mask" is an American play for American people.

4p1m VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
weyv People Know How Useful it ia In
 Premerving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dis InfectanG and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better 1t is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities alway present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and sminently safe cathartic.
 t absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great bens eft.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T ad- wise Starts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; also believe the liver is great Iy benefited by the daily use of them. They cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I be- leve I get more and better charcoal in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges than in any ef tAs ordinary charcoal teblets" !.
