lights in a manner not only to delight collegians but also to provide the average theatre-goer with an agree able and expressing entertainment
 How successful Mrs. Young has been in doing this---in vitalizing the charac] teristic incidents of 2 great University Into making a successful play-is at- tested by the long runs in both New York and Chicago and to repeated en- agreements in all week stands. The story of the play is woven about the affairs and fortunes of the college rowing crew with the excitement of a great race against an English eight as stirring climax. But although coll ge spirit and youthful exuberance Is pronounced as it's dominant note, the advance sketch of the plot indi- cates that the morals of collegiate society. good and bad enter into 1t a good deal more than the Harvard regulations-ever intended they should, part of the story striking tragic note to which none of the other great col lege plays aspire.

Eating Test For Cooks.

In certain employment agency ten
cooks out Of job waited one after
noon last week for a situation to turn
up. Presently well gowned woman
who was short Of servants applied at
the desk for the desired help. The
manager referred her to the ten cooks.
The woman interviewed each Of them
In turn with unsatisfactory results.
mot one Of them," she explained to
the manager Of the agency, ''likes to
eat the things that we like" L.
'sBut what difference does that
mahe?" asked the manager. ''They are
no doubt good girls for all that
''Yet they wouldn't suit me-" the wo-
man replied decisively. my family
have very pronounced tastes in cook
cry, and my experience has taught me
that only cook who likes the same
dishes that we like can prepare them
satisfactorily. That is a matter Of SIM
pie common sense. It stands to reason
that any dish cook likes will turn
out better than one she doesn't like;
consequently I will do the work my
self till find girl whose tastes agree
with ours. "--Philadelphia Ledger.

Awed by tho Beau,

When Beau Brummel, the celebrated
dandy, was, in consequence of his
fallen fortunes, residing at Calais, he
had occasion to visit Paris. Through
the kindness Of the consul at the for
mer place he was enabled to accom-
pany kings messenger to the capital
and thus travel free of expense. When
the messenger returned, the consul was
curious to know how he and his arls-
tocrat1c companion had fraternized
upon the road. 'sWhat kind Of trav-
cling companion did you find Mr.
Brummel?' asked he. "Oh, a very
pleasant one, indeed, sir; very pleas
ant" replied the messenger. "Ahl And
what did he sayT' "Say, sir? Moth
ing! He slept the whole way" "slept
the whole way! Do you call that be-
ing pleasant? Perhaps he snored"
The messenger acknowledged that
Brummel did so, but Immediately, as
If fearful of casting an improper re-
Election upon SO great a parsonage, he
added, with great gravity, "Yet I can
assure you, sir, Mr.. Brummel snored
very much like gentleman!"- largo

"a BibuIous Lord Mayor.

Any one with a love Of queer names
should study the names Of past lord
mayors Of London. Besides one or two
that are merely uncommon and did
not belong to men Of any distinction,
such as Sir Richard Spaa, mayor in
1852, there are some that deserve mo-
ice also for the sake Of those who bore
them. There was Sir ] ohm Brugges in
1920, whose ancestor fought at Agin-
court, when, curious1y enough, the
name had the more modern form Of
Bridges. There was Alderman Mica
jah Perry in 1879, who laid the first
stone Of the Mansion House, and Sir
Benjamin Hamet, who was fined Fl, 600
In 1907 for refusing to act as mayor
positively a cheap way Of getting out
Of it. s.
The most appropriately named lord
mayor seems, however, to have been
the cheerful Sir Robert Viner, who en-
tertained Charles II. and drank the
kings health SO often as to become un-
duly merry. The king tactfully sought
to retire, but Viner plucked him by
the sleeve and vowed he should "stay
and take the other bother Charles
II, never at loss, complied. murmur-

What Ho Did Know.

st. Thomas Episcopal church, in
Fifth avenue, has under its julisdic-
ton an east side chapel. One Of the
features Of the chapel is a gymnasium,
In which boys are trained in all Of the
branches Of physical culture. Some
Of the boys are quicker in this sort of
training than they are in the more
polite talk Of the west side boys.
The rector Of st. Thomas, the Rev.
Dr.. Stires, visits the chapel freqtent-
" and Is fond Of talking with the
lads about their work. He said to one
little fellow who halls from near, the
East river:
"Well, my son, they tell me you won
quite victory In your last contest
with. the boys Of rival school,"
II don't know bout that, but wen
we went up ag'in dat bunch from St.
Pats we put it all over 'em, and dey
amt never peeped since."-New York

Nature and the Barnacie.

In the barnacle we have a unique
and wonderful case of a creature that
can afford as age comes on to dispense
with the eyesight that was so useful
In youth. For the young and old
barnacle are as different one from the
other as fishes from seaweed. In the
heyday Of life the barnacle swims
about the sea, seeking it's food with the
aid Of it's eyes and generally leading a
roaming existence. Later in life, how
ever, 1t grows tired of this aimless
wandering and settles down to worry
ships captains by attaching itself to
the keel Of their craft and defying the
much advertised powers Of various pre-.
ventive paints. Once, then, the barna-
Gle has become a fixture, whether on
ships or sharks, its eyesight Is of no
more use. It cannot seek it's food, and
it cannot shun its foes, for it never
more will move. Therefore it's eyes
become superfuous and, according to
natures invariable rule in such cases,
disappear. =,

Well, 'even an oyster may be crossed

Tho Fliqht Of a Great NebuIa.

One of the most striking spectacles
revealed by telescopes Is that of the
great nebula in Orion. In the COM
plextty Of it's glowing streams, spirals
and strangely shaped masses, inter-
cepted by yawning black gaps and
sprinkled over with stars arranged in
suggestive groups and lines, it has few
rivals in the heavens. The impress
sion Of establishment made by the sight
Of this nebula is heightened by knowl-
edge of it's enormous size. The entire
solar system would appear as a tiny
speck beside it. Yet this tremendous
aggregation Of nebulous clouds and
starry swarms has been proved by the
researches Of the astronomers Of the
Lick observatory to be flying away
from the earth and the sun at the rate
Of eleven miles in every second. But
SO vast is its distance that a hundred
years reveal no visual effects Of the
great nebula's swift retreat. If it were
near by it would seem to become rap
idly smaller.-Chicago Record Herald.

Lived to Eiqht Another Dav,

Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at Molwitz, his first battle. Had
he not been king it is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat of the
carnage he got an idea that the army
under his command was being over
whelmed, SO he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild fight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill, awaiting, as he thought, cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discov-
cred that the army he deserted had
won the battle. AS Frederick was a
prince, everybody tried to forget the
incident just as quickly as possible,
and after that, when the king went to
war, he was just as brave as any 9TH
or soldier.

The Ualiest Beast,

Probably the ugliest beast in the
world Is a monkey, a grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki.
This is so utterly grotesque a beast
that It would scarcely be safe to let a
child or nervous person see it. The
ugliness is not of an amusing kind, but
Of an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has sort Of beard and countenance
unlike anything else in shape and
lines. The monkey itself is not partic-
ularly savage, but is so hideous that
the natives Of It's country, South Amer
lea, say that no beast Of prey, however
hungry, will tackle it Even a hungry
taguar will starve in a cageful Of sakis
