"Babes in Toyland" possesses the
merit of being particularly rich in
music and more than usually sup
plied with comedy of the brand
classified nowadays as wholesome.
Victor Herbert's music delights the
ear and surpasses in many respects
to the material supplied by him in
the past in his many comic opera
compositions. The combination of
Herbert as composer and Glen Mac
Donough as librettist is proving
happy one if their work in this par
titular musical extravaganza may be
taken as an indication. 1t is the
best product in the field of light op
cratic entertai nment offered in re-
cent years. The sumptuous produc-
ton is under the personal stage d.
rection OF Julian Mitchell, who has
produced some of the greatest "rec-
ord breakers" in the past decade.
The company comes intact with the
original New York production,
which will be presented here COM
plete in every detail.
With a musical comedy above the
average and a company made up
0! entertainers who have earned rec
ignition in this particular form Of
theatrical pastime, the company
should receive the hearty support OF
the theater patrons of Lewiston and
vicinity. 1t will be we'll to secure

AUSTRALIANS SWEET TOOTH.

An estimate by the British board
of trade of the sugar production of
the world for 1906 makes total of
14,312,716 long tons, of which
7,317,472 tons were cane and $685.
244 tons beet, the production of both
kinds advancing practically at the
same rate since 1898. In the produc-
ton of cane sugar, British India
had the largest output of 2,223,400
tons, and in beet sugar Germany
ranked first, with an output of
1891 tons. The Australian has
sweet tooth, for in the consumption
of sugar per head Australia stands
first at 1879 pounds, the United
States coming next with 80 pounds
and the United Kingdom following
at 81 pounds.

THE Ex-EMPREss EUGENE.

The Empress Eugene, who has
had SO many years of heartache,
finds her comfort in getting close to
Mother Earth" At her Riviera
villa she leads a very quiet life, and
in her garden often weeds the beds
with her own hands, still so delicate
and pretty, though old. No half
withered bud or blossom is left on a
rosebush or a plant, and she knows
how to wage war against slugs and
snails. At Sir Thomas Lipton's es-
tate in Colombo, where she was re-
cent guest, one wonders if she as
sisted in the gathering of the tea
leaves. When it rains she plays pa
tience, laying the cards before her on
the table in a solitary game. To
play patience and to poke around the
flowers! Even an empress must
thus find her comfort in lonely old
age.

OF THE PLUMB LINE.

One of the curious things that
men of science have discovered in
their innumerable efforts to measure
and map the earth with the least pos
sible error is the fact that there are
places where the direction of a plumb
line is not vertical. Irregularities of
density in the crust of the globe may
produce this phenomena. A remark
able instance has been found in the
island of Porto Rico, where the devil
alton from the vertical is so great
that, in mapping the island, the
northern and southern coast lines, as
shown on the older maps, had each to
be moved inward half a mile.
