Copenhagen's Temperance Scheme.

From the Baltimore sun
In Denmark reformers do not attempt to-
tai abstinence from alcoholic drinks. but
aim at supplying beers and other drinks
having less than Pc per cent of alcohol. At
the same time they seize upon the social
attractions of the saloon and establish
Temperance homes" which are combina-
lions in one building of a restaurant, beer
saloon and rooms for social gatherings,
amateur theatricals, concerts, balls and en-
tertainments of other kinds Here families

feature and taking part in amusements. 1t
Is claimed that the light beers served make
the people the more ready to give up whisky
and class themselves as temperate"

Denmark puts no tax on light BEERS and
there is no politics in temperance 1t Is the

NO GHOST AT CHINESE THEATER.
The Playhouse in Doyers Street, New
York, Run on the Cooperative Plan.

The Playhouse in Doyers Street, New
York, Run on the Cooperative Plan.
From the New York Sun.
The Chinese theater on Doyers street near
the Bowery is run on the cooperative plan.
Every week the fortythree employees OF the
playhouse share the net receipts, and not
one Of them would listen to any other ar
rangement for their remuneration.
The building which houses the Chinese
John Drews and Ellen Terrys has the base
ment partitfoned off into sleeping rooms for
all the employees of the playhouse. from
the leading man down to the scrubmen On
that basement floor all the employees stand
on an equal footing although the dignity
of the actors requires that they have lit
tie more space for living room than the
cleaners.
A section of this basement is fitted up
with little compartments about the size or
Coney Island bath houses. and In each OF
these dwells an actor. There are twenty
eight such rooms. and the lowliest member
of the cast has just as big an apartment
as the leading man.
In another section of the basement which
isn't cut up into rooms are hunks. In this
section live the musicians, who are appar-
entity thrown together in order that the con-
ductor of the orchestra may call rehear-
sal any time he chooses without troubling
the other employees.
In a smaller room the three men cooks
live together. The cleaners occupy another
room. smaller than all the rest.
On an ordinary night the profits OF the
house do not average more than $50, but on
a gala night Of New eYar's season the
stockholders of the cooperative theater
have nearly 5000 to divide.
Incidentally, the Chinese theater is the
only one In Greater New York which never
locks its doors. 1t would be scarcely prac-
ticable to give every one Of the forty-three
employees A key to the place. and 1t would
also cut down the receipts if the profits had
to be divided with the doorkeeper. There
Is: nothing about the theater furnishings to
appeal to burglars but wooden benches, and
they can't be easily carried off.

Early Marriage Results.

From the Throne.
Divorces are. happily. rare in society
circles. Separation by mutual consent, how
ever, grows more frequent every year.
Every one has upon his or her visiting list
husbands and wives who never meet II
they can help II. but between whom there
has never been an open breach. Incompat-
ibility of temper IL the usual cause. and the
reason for that Is. one imagines. the still
common custom of encouraging the younger
generation to marry before they have be-
gun TO approach years of discretion.

TELLS HOW TO MIX IT.
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet Re-
markabie, Home Mixture.

A welI-known authority on Rheuma
tism gives the following valuable. YET
simple and harmless, prescription
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, One-half
ounce; Compound kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, Dt-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take
This pleasant mixture, if taken rcgu-
larry for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of rheumatism
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there arc
many so-called Rheumatism remedies
patent medicines, etc, some of which
do give relief, few really give pcrma :
nent results, and the above will, nc
doubt. be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time
