LEMON GAG IS ANCIENT
1t Was Started in Washington Thirty
Years Ag0-New Jokes Are
Scarce.

1t now turns out that the lemon gag
comes within the category that there
is nothing new under the sun. Ac-
cording to a Washington man it IS
fully thirty years old. This Washing
ton man has theatre program which
goes long way to prove his cOnten-
ton.
On the night of March 5, 1877, Au-
gustine Daily produced play at Ford's
theatre called Lemons, or Wedlock
for seven" How it came to be SO
named the program does not state.
1t was sad frost in the national capt.
tai. At the second performance there
was only handful of people present
and naturally Daily was disgusted.
During the progress Of the play Daily
and Samuel G. Kingsley, the treasurer
of the theatre, were standing near the
back rail.
"'Dismal, Ell, Kingsley Mr.. DAILY
said to Mr.. Kingsley as the curtain de-
scended on the first act.
VARY, VARY sad,' replied Mr..
Kingsley, alphabetically.
"'Sour little audience, eh?' said Mr..
DAILY.
"'Sourer than the title of the piece.

to have picked out-"Lemons." You

lemons when you did that. Mr.. DAILY

at the Lemons performance that even

General William Booth. the head of
the Salvation Army, who recently trav-
ersed the American continent on his
way from England to Japan, was born
in Nottingham April 10, 1929. He was
educated by private tutor and in
1852 he entered the ministry of the
Methodist New Connection church.
The ordinary circuit work of this de-
nomination was distasteful to him and
after submitting to it for several years
he withdrew in 1861 to devote himself
to evangelistic labor. Arriving in Lon
don he was struck by tho destitute
condition of the eastern portion of Its
population. and commenced, in July,
1865, special efforts on their behalf.
This effort was at first styled the
Christian mission, but developed in
1873 into the Salvation Army. Since
that time the organization has grown
until it now is established. in fifty-two
countries and colonies, and maintains
over 10000 men and women in the
field. In his efforts to build up the or
ganization General Booth was; greatly
aided by his wife and family. In the
course of his work General Booth has
visited the United States and Canada
half dozen times and has made sew
-eral complete circuits of the globe.

Rest.

Women sit too much, and women
wearisome than standing about"
even to the we'll trained body that has
been drilled into good poise, and sit
ting is not resting. however cleverly
women may delude themselves on this
point.
The young woman who desires to
keep away crows feet and the jaded
look and to retain the suppleness and
bloom of youth should, when off par
ade and duty and in her own room.
make a couch or floor for her habitual
resting place. Absolute repose comes
to the tired muscles only when the
body is in a, reclining position, and
absolute repose comes to the over-
strung nerves only when the muscular
system is perfectly at rest, relaxed.
The middle-agcd woman can WOO
back some of the freshness and lith-
someness of girlhood If she will be at
a little pains to learn how to rest
Five minutes Of rest nat on the back
on the floor or on a hard. smooth
couch, are worth half an hour of SO
styled rest in an armchair, or in that
unreposeful tcmpter, the rocking
chair.
Some one has said to the woman of
today: Never stand when you can sit;
never sit when you can lie down. This
ticity, is an excellent beauty recipe.

Tribute to tho Women Of Spain.

Henry Watterson. editor in chief OF
the Louisville Courier r-Journal, writ
ing from Spain to his paper, pays this
deserved tribute to the Catholic wom-
en- of Spain:
'The decorum Of the Spanish woman
is everywhere noticeable and notable
In the streets Of Barcelona, neither by
night nor day, is the Cypriane in evil
dence. The little Andalusian serving
maids in the cafes chantants are mod
est to a degree, taking hot milk in
tiny mugs when they are invited to
drink, polite to the point of semi
affection, but not obtrusive Even the
performers, the dancers, tambourine
players, the castanet singers and bal
lad singers lack the brazenness and
the blare of the Partisan demi mon
daine. Vulgarity, except from French
artistes,' is unknown to the Spanish
stage"

The Woman. and tho Farm.

The deserted farm and the woman
who must support herself have one
thing at least in common-they are
not local problems Careless writer's
have almost made it appear that all
the deserted farms are in New Eng
land, and all the women who have to
earn their own living are restricted
by circumstances to the cities. Two
essays recently read before agricul-
tural societies in the central west sug-
gest a wider and truer view Of the
situation.
One essayist told o. woman who
bought a farm, when overwork forced
her to retire temporarily from her pro-
fession. She hires a man for out
side work and a. man to do the
rougher housew orx. she enjoys pure
air. fresh vegetables and plenty OF
milk and butter and eggs. and re-
ceives enough money for the hay
produced on the farm to meet all her
expenses.
The heroine Of the other essayist
was a successful stenographer., who
wanting a house Of her own, pitched
upon a three-acre place which was
far from cities, but within reachable
distance of several summer hotels

Probably there is not county in
any state which does not offer SINH
lar opportunities for tired women ia
rest by change of occupation, and
meantime earn a living; or for ambi-
! tious women to take up fruit growing,
! market gardening. poultry-keeping, or
some other speciality, and carry it on
at a profit. We glory in the women
who have sought out such openings

him in his absence in directing the

in the conspiracy he was sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment. He was
released in 1870, being expelled for the
rest of the sentence. Spending this
time in France, he returned later to
Ireland and had lived in Dublin ever
since, taking part in all the literary
movements of his time and being, ac-

less interesting. The glories of Ire
land are inseparably linked with the
Catholic church: her Golden Age was
during the four centuries succeeding
the mission Of st. Patrick, during
which her lovely valleys and green
hillsides were studded with churches
and monasteries, when it was known
as Ursula sanctorum ct Doctorum,"
the Island of Saints and Scholars,
when the great st. COLUMBIA in his
verses declares, that to sleep on the
dust of Aran and within sound Of her
church bells is as desirable as to be
laid to rest on the threshold Of the
Apostles
1t was during this period, whilst
the lights of learning, extinguished
on the continent of Europe by the in>
roads Of the barbarians, they were
burning brightly in this far off west
ern island. Students from the cont-
nent thronged the Cloisters of Armagh,
land sent out swarms Of missionaries
to found monasteries in Gaul, Ger
many, Italy, Switzerland and England,
and to help found the first two great
universities at Paris and Pavia.
There are about seventy round tow
ers still remaining, thirteen Of which
are perfect, ten retaining the conical
cap. They are about eighteen feet in
diameter and from sixty to 11O feet
high.
They are familiar and interesting
features in Irish scenery. They enter
largely into the legends and poetry Of
the island. You will remember Moore's
beautiful verse: ..
"On Laugh Neagh's bank as the fish,
ernan strays,
When the clear cold ewes declining,
He sees the round tower of other days
In the wave beneath him shining.
Thus shall memory oft in dreams sub
lime,
Catch glimpse of the day that are
over;
Thus signing, look through the waves
of time
For the long faded glories they cover"
