who claims that he has been able
to weigh the human soul.
Prof. Twining uses mice and
kittens in his experiments. In one
test he used a good sized mouse.
1t was enclosed in a Theoretically
sealed glass flask. The scales
were the most sensitive In the
world, and were enclosed in a
glass case from which all moist
ure had been removed. The
mouse, which weighed 1886
grams, lost suddenly at death 81
milligrams.
A kitten used in another ex-
pertinent lost 100 milligrams
while dying, and at it's last gasp
lost 60 milligrams. After that ii
lost weight slowly, due to mois-
ture evaporation.

A Sad Accident. !,

On Wednesday, at the ranch Of his
father, on west branch Of Williams
river, Joe Sullivan sustained injuries
from which he expired In few

the horse jumped astride the eight
foot corral fence, where he hung for
few seconds, falling of, he fell with
the boy underneath.
The injured boy was taken to Craig

Women ON the Stngc.

There was n time when no woman
was permitted even 10 enter the
theatcr. much less to enter the
atrical career. The feminine parts
on the stage were taken by men and
boys Even Shakespeare never saw
one Of his female characters enact
ed by woman. His Portia7,
Juliets, Desdemonas and Ophelias
were taken by boys. Professor Ra-
leigh ascribes to this fact the m.-
raculous development of the poetic
drama in the days of Elizabeth,
Archie Bell, a writer in the Cen
tury Magazine, brings out another
aspect OF the same question less
favorable 10 the boy actors. Some
of them we are told were 40 years of
age. and a Jolly old chronlcler in
forms us that real kings were some
times kept waiting for the perform
ance to begin on the stage because
the stage queens were delayed in
shaving. Today this state Of AFFAIRS
is reversed. Nowhere has woman's
emancipation been more complete
than on the boards.
Woman, Mr.. Bell declares. has
done more for the theater than any
other single force. The theater in
return has lone more for woman
than any other institution, and at
present her supremacy is almost un-
questioned In the theatrical world.
Nordau contends that the future
OF poetry belongs to children and
women. May the same be true OF
the stage? Mr. Bell evidently holds
the belief that 1t will, which he bases
upon the fact that, not content with
oyershadowing man, woman even
takes his best parts from him, and
in place OF the boy-actor OF former
days we have the woman appearing
in masculine parts Adelaide Keim
as Hamlet, Maude Adams as Peter
Pan and L'Aiglon, of this genera
tion, and several women Of the past
century have given ample satisfae-
tionin masculine roles. The COM
plete monopoly by the weaker
sex" of everything dramatic is not
one OF the impossibilities OF the
future.
Likewise Sarah Bernhardt's re-
cent announcement that she may
add the role of Mephlsto to her vast
repertoire is not without significance
In Mr., Bells opinion. The chorus
man. he concludes, is already count
ed the representative OF the lowest
caste in theaterdom. and his more
fortunate brothers are merely hang

British and American Shopping.

British and American Shopping.
Lady Auckland, member of the
British aristocracy and dealer in art
curios, complains that American
buyers "bargain and haggle" when
they cometo her shop on Baker
street. They "turn over things" T"
and when an offer of shillings for
guinea article is refused walk
out without buying"
Possibly they have had experience
In guinea charges for 5-shilling ar
tlcles. But that the complaint can
be made, and the plain, blunt term
applied to what with us is designated
by the polite euphemism of "shop-
ping" illustrates all the difference
between English and American
methods Of retail trade.
Here the entrance of a customer
into a shop carries no implied obli-
CATION to purchase. In the case of
American department stores 1t may
mean only desire for a moments
diversion or to hear an advertised
musical selection or to look at an
art gallery. Even in the more ex-
elusive shops It may amount at most
10 the casual examinationof an ar
ticle with a remote view to buying
after prices have been compared
elsewhere.
The American storekeeper, with a
shrewd appreciation of the curiosity
of shoppers, makes a subtler appeal
to their patronage by allowing them
every possible liberty of selection
without restriction. Clerks too in
sistent in their attentions to Gus
toners usually defeat their object by
the prejudice their solicitations
create.
If the old notion Of shoppers 3
moral obligation to buy and the old
custom of soliciting purchases at ev-
cry counter still obtain in London.
Il might be wise for shopkeepers to
do away with them. The American
dollar has cometo be large item In
their receipts. AS an example of its
Importance It is noted that 30 per
cent OF the patronage OF one OF Lon.
dons leading hotels last year was
American, afainst "a per cent Brit
ish. The accounts of Bond and Re-
fent street dealers would probably
reveal no less considerable per-
centage OF American custom
To invite rather than to discour-
age their trade, even at the cost OF
violating insular traditions, would
appear TO be good business policy.
Or do London shopkeepers fear that
by making concessionsto American
demands they will ALLEVIATE their
more Conservative British patron

on personal attention at the coun-
