More or Mr.. G.. ID. Shaw.

From Brentano's comes another volume
OF Mr., George Bernard Shaw's plays with
characteristic prefaces. John Bulls Other
Island the play on Ireland which gives
the title TO the book, had a successful run
in England but attracted little attention
in this country. The author provides IL
with a sixty page preface for politicians
which ia also chiefly for British consump-
ton. To his Salvation Army play, Major
Barbara he preixes forty pages OF preface
in which he jumps on theatrical critics
and explains what he thinks OF the Sal
vationists.
The third play contained in the volume
is his skit on Candida and puff OF his
own play, How He Lied to Her Husband
The preface deals with the treatment Of
Mrs. WarreR's Profession in New York
and would have more point If Mr.. Shaw
had undertaken TO ascertain the facts in
the matter. His admirers will enjoy the
volume thoroughly, for Mr.. Shaw parades
himself before them in plays and prefaces
with his usual eelf-assertion and paradox.
Those who do not worship him will derive
amusement from the plays, which are clever,
and 40 much, probably. from the authors
posing. Whether astonishing combinations
like cant and I've and hasn't" and
'hveshillingsworth' and spacing instead
OF italics are due to author or to publisher
we cannot tell. They are not pleasant.

The woes Of the amateur gardener
are very amusing to others, but de-
cidedly real to the msn who has
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his
hands and lost his temper in his ef-
forts to make things grow.
A young man, recently married.
early in the spring secured sub
urban place, mainly with the idea of
fresh. homegrown vegetables Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out to his garden,
where he displayed more energy than
skill. But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the
ground in his neighbors' gardens, his
own remained as bare as the Sahara.

WHITE WAS WARNED.
Plot to Kill Former Russian Premier
Discovered in Time.

Discovered In Time.
st. Petersburg.-From revolutionary
sources there has been obtained and
published full details of a sensational
reactionary plot to compass the MUIR
der of Count White, the former Rus
sian premier, who represented his
country at the peace negotiations at
Portsmouth. This assassination was
planned by the Moscow branch of the
Union of True Russian People, the
organization to which the emperor
sent a communication on June II,
conveying his blessing to the ultra
reactionary party and his hopes for
the success of its purposes. The exc
cution of the plot was entrusted to
the leader of the Moscow branch, a
man named Kazantzeff, who came to
st. Petersburg the latter part Of May
and secured employment in factory
as a common laborer.
He befriended several of his fellow
workmen, and after announcing him
self as an anarchist, he enlisted four
men to aid him in carrying out his
commission. 1t was planned to throw
"a bomb at Count Whites carriage from
the window of a cheap boarding house

attend a meeting Of the council Of EN-

PRIVILEGES OF A GENTLEMAN.

In Course OF Time.

There is a small boy in this town,
says the Baltimore American, the
son of a rather distinguished lawyer,
who has decided opinions on what
constitutes true aristocracy. One day
recently a friend called upon his
mother, and, while waiting for the
hostess, was entertained by the small
boy.
what are you going to do when
you grow up?" was the stereotyped
question she propounded In the effort
to start the conversation.
"Oh, am going to smoke"
"Yes?"
"And chew"
"Oh!"
"And gamble"
'Indeed!"
"And swear"
Really"
"And drink corn whisky"
"And why are you going to do such
things?" asked the visitor aghast.

in Italy, and has done SO for more

MADE A NEW FASHION,
o00a Joke Played In Old Days on
Would-Be Fashionable.

Old Camden, in his Remains" tells
good story of trick played by
knight upon would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
OF Norwich in the time of King Henry
VIII, OF the proud humor which our
people have to be of the gentlemen's
cut. This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
him gown, and sent it to the tailor's
TO be made. John brakes, shoe
maker, coming to this tailo..'s and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
same price and pattern and make it
OF the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was.
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made Of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make it," John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear it. Perceiving the same to be
full OF cuts, he began to swear at the
tailor. 81 have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor, "for
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is,
even so have l made yours" by my
latchet!" quoth John brakes, Il will
never wear gentlemen's fashions
again!"-London T. P.'s Weekly.

THERE is A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

The Medical Times for April in a
moment of frankness explains the
whole opposition of physicians to "pat-
emit" medicines which are taken with
out a prescription, in the following
words:
1--WE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year $62,OO0,O00 has been ex.
pended on patent medicines in the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country yearly
income of $4,000. In the face Of such
facts as these, all talk of love of hui.
manity, altruism, self-abnegation and
the like becomes cheap and nauseat
ing. 1t appears to us that such bun.
combe should give place to homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount of the patent" medi-
cine business is about $40,000,OO0 in
stead of $62,OOO,O0O but taking the
Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay of considerably
less than 81 per capita for home medi-
cation. The cost of doctors fees ex-
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period,
probably was approximately $3.50, 000,-
900. This is reached by allowing an
average income of $4,000 to each Of
the $4,000 physicians in the United
States. Even allowing that a gross
business of $62,OOO,OOO is to be divid-
ed between $4,000 physicians the in
come of each would not be increased
more than $540.

Galleries Under the Sea.

At Cape Breton there are immense
colleries being worked under the
ocean. These submarine mines cover
a thousand acres, and are being in
creased steadily. The mines are en-
tered at the shore, and the operators
follow the vein beneath the water for
more than a mile. 1t might be ex-
pected that the weight OF the water
would force its way into the mine.
The bed of the ocean is as tight as
a cement cistern. A sort of fireclay
lines the submarine roof of the mine,
and the sediment above is held in
place and packed down by the water
nressure until there is not crevice
NOR a drop of water from overhead.

The defense operated on Thursday
along nearly all of it's lines. There
were attacks on Orchards testimony
at several points, there was show
ing that union miners had been
abused by the mine owners and mill
tia at Cripple Creek and Telluride,
there was a showing that Pinkerton
agents had advised violence and en-

who served with the relief committee
that looked after the families of the
deported miners at Cripple Creek
swore that she had been twice ar

positively denied Orchards version OF

that he made trip from Cheyenne

of getting $500 from George A. Petit
