The splendid stock company at the
Orpheum will close it's engagement
with todays matinee and tonight's per-
Torrance. Alabama is the bill for
both performances. Those whose eyes
are wearieu W the gay trappings OF
soldier costumes, or whose threats are
over moist with Heidelberg stems,
should go and see the restful quiet Of
"Alabama"-a play in the rose gar
dens of the south. 1t is worth while to
go and hear the southern accents
which run in limpid speech through
all the spoken words of this dramatic
story.

During the week the Saltair theatre
sprang into footlight activity. If there
aren't enough theatres around Zion
well build more!
Manager Piper, through friendly
arrangement with the Sailtair beach
people, cancelled the engagement Of
the Royal Hawaiian Band which was
booked to appear at the Salt Lake the
atre. This clears the way for the ia
nous organization to give concerts a
Saltair all next week. No doubt Salt
air will be mecca for music lovers
beginning next Monday.

respondent Of the San Francisco Bulle-
tin.
The BARRIERS not only shave the face
and forehead and braid the queues OF
their customers. 1t Is also a Fart of
their art to clean their ears and re-
move the hairs that grow inside the
opening. This is done with long, slen-
der razOrs almost like sharpened
needles. In addition, they shave the
eyebrows. pull teeth, massage and
scrape the inside of the eyelid.s All
OF these operations must involve con-
siderable discomfort for the victim.
The shaving is done with a razor
much like those at home, except that
it is without a handle, and being
somewhat dull, it becomes case of
persistent scraping. This operation is
performed without moisture or lather
and must be extremely irritating.

Bio Tennessee Rentile.

Probably the largest rattlesnake

ty for many years was the one found
by William Sykes of Baker Station

it was concealed, and the dogs left

Lapland Baby Swings.


Little Laplanders spend the first ten
months of their existence in baskets of
wickerwork, provided at the top with a
conical framework too close for baby
to fall through, and yet giving the
infant plenty Of light and air. Before
commencing her work for the day the
Lapp mother places her child in the
basket and hangs it on the limb of
some nearby tree, occupation being
found for the little ones by slringing
toys upon cord passed across the top
of the basket. Thus provided the child
spends the entire day in the open, and
yet at the same time is guarded from
the troubles and dangers of outdoor
child life in other countries. The bas-
ket idea curiously parallels the Indian
idea Of strapping the pappoose into a
carrying case, but the Lapp baby has
the advantage over it's Indian fellow
in that its limbs are unconfined and a
certain amount of liberty Of movement
is afforded. The child is carried from
place to place in the same basket, the
cord by which it is attached to tree
being slung over the shoulder.

Odd places to Hide Liquor.

Inc sanitarium was for women only
women dipsomaniacs. A luxurious
place, the rate was $125 a week.
This" said the superintendent, 'is
our museum. Odd, grotesque, eh?"
The museum was a collection of in
struments for secret drinking that had
been taken from female dipsomaniacs.
Here was carriage clock with a
false back that would hold a half-pint
of whisky.
Here was a muff with a round flask
of India rubber in it's hollow inside. A
mouthpiece, like that on baby's bot
tile, was hidden under rosette. The
owner OF the muff would press it to
her face-and at the same time take
stiff drink.
Here were dozen sorts of bonbons,
candies of all shapes and hues. each
containing two or three drops of BRAN
dy.
A fan-it would not open-had room
for a half-pint in it.
A number of purses were nothing
but whisky TASKS covered with bead
work or leather or silver or gold.
There was even prayer book with
flask inside.

Why the Ocean Doesn't Freeze.

If the ocean did not have salt it
would freeze somewhat more readily
than it does now, but there would be
no very marked difference.
The ocean is prevented from freez-
ing not so much by it's salt as by its
size and by its commotion. On &C.
count of it's size, large portions of it
extend into warm climates at all sea-
sons, and by reason of it's great depth
it is a vast storehouse of heat. It's

audience, and then light all six. Now,
you begin to relate a story about a
little girl who was alone in the house
and was afraid of the dark and who
lighted six candles to keep up her
courage. She heard queer noises about
the house, and drew close to the light,
and then (pointing to the candle with
the hole nearest the top) the first
candle went out! OF course, you time
your words, so that you say tout" just
before the fame reaches the hole. AS
you reach the second point in your
tale the second candle goes out, and
so on throughout the rest of the six.
You may have the holes vary but a
fraction of an inch in their distance
from the top of the candle, and tell a
very short story, or you may have your
tale long one, with the distances of
the holes from the top to vary an inch
or so. BY first lighting one candle
and watching it burn for a few min
utes. you can tell almost exactly how
long the flame will take to reach a
given point.
If you do not have the candles go
out in rotation, but skip around from
the first to the fifth, then to the sec
ond, to the six, the fourth and third
you can still further mystify your au-
dience. and if your story be well told
the effect will be very pretty, indeed.

Here is one Of the daintiest of par
lor magic tricks, which never fails to
capture an audience and which, at the
same time, is so simple that any one
can do it:
You need six or more candles and
as many candlesgticks, or you can get
along without the candlesticks by
holding a lighted match to the bottom
of each of the candles and then, when
it has softened ever so lightly, setting
the candle firmly in a saucer. The
wax or tallOw will harden in mo-
ment, holding the candle erect in its
place.
Make a hole in one side of each
candle, as shown in the illustration to
the right, cutting clear through until
the wick is severed. These holes must
be at various distances from the top
different in each candle.
Now, If you should light one of these
candles it would burn steadily until
the flame got down to the hole, when
the cut in the wick would cause the
candle to go out. If you should light
them all together they would go out at
different times, as the holes are at diff
ferent places. This is where your
trick comes in.
Place your candles in a row on q
table, with the holes away fIesa yOuy
