HERBERT l.. FLINT.

occult powers of the highest type. He

has them under perfect control ready

is done without the slightest detriment
to the subjects. They go through the
most surprising feats and then awaken
and enjoy the entertainment and laugh
at their comrades, who are executing
some ridiculous feat in their turn. We
know Of nothing that will compare in
interest with the work of DR.. Flint.

in all she does-a clear big thought
and it is in this she is most remark
able, for the capacity of the stage emo
tionalism is by no means invariably
coupled with the intellectual faculty.
IN all the various passages of tragic
poetry her grip was firm, her passion
electrifying, her are true" Speaking of
the play of The Shulamite" itself, he
credits it with being well written
and possessing cumaXes of enormous
acting value" Al the Chicago critics
dwelt especially. upon the surprising
quality of her voice. The Inter Ocean
says: She is an actress of fine con-
trasts, capable of tigersh ferocity in
her anger. of sympathetic appeal in
her ealmer moods. and there is a
strange, almost harsh penetration to
her voice when it rises in protest before
injustice-a harshness, however. that
thrills as it penetrates. which is proof
of the heart behind it." The Record
Herald remarks: 1T is a voice capable
of wild. sweet music of lyric rap
ture, of the tenderest notes of musing
and of thrilling impression made by
Miss Ashweu upon her first critics in
this American advent of hers. She re-
mains at the Garrick for only one week
more, her stay being limited to October
- next as she goes directly to New
York City for her run at the Lyric the
alter there.

Towle's Opera House, Sunday Night.

Clyde Fitch's famous play $'The Stub
borness of Geraldine" in which Mary
Mannering scored one of the greatest
successes of her career. The produc-
ton will take on an added interest
next week, in that it will serve to in
troduce Jane Oaker as the new leading
woman of the company. Miss Oaker
will be seen in the role of Geraldine"
The play is typically the work of
Clyde Fitch, and contains not only
bright lines but also many humorous
situations. The first scene is the deck
of an ocean steamer. In the course Of
the second scene tea is served on the
top of thirty trunks and the third
scene depicts party of society women
cheating one another at bridge Among
the characters one that is particularly
prominent is that of vi Thompson, the
girl from Butte. Montana. The play
gives admirable opportunity for elab-
crate staging effects and for the dis
play of handsome gowns. All members
of the company are well suited in their
respective characters.

furnishes such opportunities for col

auditorium. The city of Jerusalem,
the interior Of the Roman gallery, the
raft of Ben Hur bu1eted by the angry

all strangely realistic. The tent of the
Arabian shiek Ilderim glows with bar

where the beautiful Iras reelines in

AT THE GARRICK.

The first American appearance of
Miss Lena Ashwell. the great English
emotional actress brought to this coun-
try by the Schuberts. has proved to
be a pronounced triumph. All the Chi
cago critics and play reviewers have
paid her the highest tribute for her
portrayal of the title role Of The
Shulamite" at the Garrick theater in
that city. Theirs is the first Anne rican
verdict upon this distinguished Lon
don artistic and they are unanimous
in their praise of her art. Mr.. w. L.

Ashwell is an actress whose coming to
this country is fully justified. She has
scored a distinct triumph. She sways

plete mistress of her artiatic powers.
and she possesses temperamental gifts
which enable her to move and touch
her hearers" Mr.. Burns Mantle in the
Inter Ocean exclaims: Miss Ashwen is
thoroughly good actress in all that
the term should mean, and one who
is certain to win a following in the
United States" Mr.. James O'Donnell
Bennett in the Record Herald sounds

Sni,lers In History.

Spiders have played a greater part
in history than most people are aware
of. Everybody knows how the perse-
verance of spider encouraged Robert
Bruce to regain his kingdom of Scot
land but not so many know that ac
cording to Jewish tradition, spider
saved David's life. Saul was hunting
for him, and his soldiers approached
cave where David was hidden. Short
ly before. however, a spider had spun
her web at the mouth of the cave, and
the soldiers taking ii for granted that
if he had taken refuge in the cave he
must have broken the web, departed,
forgetting the web might have been
spun after as well as before his EN-
trance.
Frederick William was king Of Prus-
STA, and an attempt was made to poi
son him with cup of chocolate. BY
chance a spider fell into the cup, and
for this reason the monarch gave the
chocolate to a dog, who Immediately
died. Inquiry was made, with the re-
suit that the cook was hanged, and
large spider wrought in gold now
decorates one of the chief rooms of the
Winter palace at Potsdam in memory

Ants Live on Lice.

In their migrations from plant to
plant the lice are often aided by their
foster mothers the ants, for many spe-
cies are carefully cared for and guard
cd by the ever diligent ants. A pecul-
lar sweetish liquid called "honeydew'
is secreted by the aphides Of which the
ants are extremely fond. To secure
this they herd the aphides, much as if
they were little green cattle. Ere
Quently an ant may he seen tapping an
aphis with her autennae, upon which
a drop of the honeydew is exuded and
quickly Tapped. Thus the ants are
probably entirely responsible for car
rying the young aphides which affect
the strawberry roots in Delaware
Maryland New Jersey and elsewhere
from the foliage down to the roots and
for carrying them from plant TO plant
as the plants wither from their injury.
The melon louise is similarly carried by
the ants from hill to hill But most re
markable of all is the case of the corn
root aphis, which lays its eggs in ants
nests In the fall, where they are care
fully guarded all winter, and in the
spring the young aphides are carried

A Brain In Your ThrHnt.

Did you know that the throat has
brain of its own? | suppose few peo-
pie are aware of it, but it's fact
There is small ganglon which eXer-
cises direct control Of the muscles of
the throat and acts as its brain. OF
course it is subservient TO the genuine
brain, but at the same times does a
good deal of independent thinking for
itself. 1t is very timid and suspicious
of any strange objects that come near
the throat. For this reason it is very
difficult fora physician to operate on
the throat. Before anything can be
done in this direction it is necessary
for the operator TO gain the confidence
of the little brain that dominates it, II
frequently takes weeks before this con-
fdence can he secured, and until it is
secured ii is impossible to perform any
operation. Woe to the man who at
tempts rough treatment to the throat
before gaining the little brains conf
dence! His operations will be resented
with violent paroXysms, first of the
throat, then Of the diaphragm, and if
the operator still persists the patient
, will be thrown into commissions. Still
more curious is the fact that this little
brain has memory, and if once fright
ened in this way it is almost impossible
to ever gain its confidence, no matter
how gentle the operator may be. -

The most wonderful piece of natural

any visitor to the Cape Verde islands.
This specimen of natural art work is
without doubt the most colossal and
marvellous freak known to the geolo-
gistS and gcographers. San Vincente
is the principal town of the islands.
As the ship enters the harbor of the
above named place one sees a bold
ridge of dark volcanic rocks lying in
the distance. The crest of this ridge
forms an exact likeness of Washing

upward. as if in sleep. The large,
bold features, the backward wave of
the hair the rotund form of the mass

a scale of such magnitude and
grandeur as to be absolutely startling.
The fidelity of the outline is such that
the freakish forms assumed by the
stalactites and stalagmites in the well
known natural caverns are not suita-

monument to the greatest of American
heroes is the first object to meet the
gaze of the observing sightseer as he
