NEW STAGE TYPE OFF CHARACTERS.

Miss Hilda Thomas and Lou Han.
who will appear at the Towle opera
house four nights, commencing matt
nee Sept. 81, offers an entirely new
creation of characters in the new play
by Pierce Kingsley. entitled, fancy
Junkins. 1t is positively original in
every respect; different from anything
ever seen on the stage. Some have
suggested that the play follows in the
footsteps of sis Hopkins" but this
the management positively denies. The
conception of Janey Junkins is a copy
or no one, and originated by Miss
Thomas. and runs the gamut of every
emotion from the poor, innocent noun
tain girl, who strives to find out the
meaning of love. to the educated wo-
man holding a cierkship in the secret
service office at washington, and it is
as true to nature as anything ever
conceived. During the action of the
play, the blunders and funny situa-
tions that she finds herself in con-
vulses the audience with laughter. who
now and then brush aside a tear only
to laugh all the more. In fact. at
times the audience is crying and
laughing at the same time. The sun
porting company has been selected
with great care and a most enjoyable
evening is promised to all who at
tend the performance. Hilda Thomas
and Lou Halls unique specialties alone
are worth the price of admission
though there are four acts to the plav
of Janey Junkins.

circulation there IS suddenly poured out more
digestive fluid; not only saliva but the Others as
well. The gastric Juice begins flow the pancreas
and liver get ready, and the entire digestive system
IS prepared and able TO take of any food which
IS reasonable in kind and quantity.
The point OF greatest Importance in all this is
that these fluids poured only when the
mental condition IS right,-when there Is in the
mind a desire for food. If there should be anv feel
ing Of Discrimination for food. if there should be,
even indifference to food, the food taken under
such circumstances would not and could not be
properly digested.
If there is in the mind any feeling other than de
sire Tor food, II Just previous to eating or while
eating anything should disturb or dis
tract the mind. then there would be immediate de
rangemcnt of the circulation. Under these circum-
stances the blood would be withdrawn from the
digestive organs and the elaboration of the fluids
of digestion would cease. Then, of course the body

At that instant there came a stir from the other

bringing the tdings OF their fate. His words

The scout passed 10y the enlisted men without
giving them 50 much a glance, and made his way

asked in a sharp hard voice.

Is, whenever there Is need Tor the activity of any
function the organ which performs that function
receives increased flow of blood. For instance,
q man has taken long walk, and arrives home
tired and ravenously hungry. As he enters the
house he catches the aroma of cooking food.
What happens? Why, to use a vernacular phrase,
hls mouth waters The attention is directed
to the need of eating; and the organs engaged in
eating and digestion at once begin get a greatly
increased supply of blood.
1t out of the blood that these digestive organs
"manufacture" their various fluids by which each
organ accompishes its special part in the work of
digestion So when increased quantity of
blood Is poured into them, each organ begins at
once to make large quantities of its peculiar fluid.
The saliVary glands are IN the mouth-under
the tongue mostly. And when greatly increased
quantity of blood IS sent To them, they at once
elaborate and pour out into the mouth a portion
OF their contents. So the hungry man who smells
the odOr of cooking food waters at the mouth"
Thus the mind governs the body
Now, the action of the glands OF the mouth which
produce saliva is exactly like the action Of the
glands elsewhere in the body which produce gastric
juice pancreatic juice, bile and other fluids through
the associated action of which the process of diges
ton IS carried When the hung-y man smells
the of food, there IS a rush oI blood to all

on this subject says that the individual dressmaking
trade shows falling off of 30 per cent in the num-
Der of persons employed since 1890. By natural in

The great variety and cheapness of the ready-made
garments the surprising smartness of many of them

II Notable Enlightenment.

The story of the engagement of President Cleve-
land and Miss Frances Folsom through the press
of the country about the time of the wedding, the
most romantic account being the following, which
is said to have come from inside circles:
''Miss frankie and her mother to the white
house during the Easter vacation. The presidents
mansion was filled with flowers from its greenhouses
and the Conservatives were mass of blossoms
and greens.
1T was the day after reception and the family
had just eaten their dinner from the elegant china
and fine cut glass of the presidents table. Miss Fol
som had picked the bouquet du corsage which had
been laid beside her plate and had pinned it in the
lace about her neck President Cleveland, contrary
to usual CUSTOM came to the table in full dress His
day had been pleasant one and he feeling in
very good humor
after dinner the party adjourned to the blue
par1or for a moment and then began to scatter;
Miss Cleveland going upstairs and Mrs. Folsom
settling back into chair and devoting her attention
to a novel which she had been reading. Miss Fol
som and the president talking together stand
ing in the door leading in to the corridor and look
ing at the portraits which line the walls.
moment later they strolled down toward the
east room and then strolled, arm in arm, into the
conservatory This dimly lighted and the air
was full Of the odor of roses They walked up and
down its aisles, between the banks of flowers, for
perhaps full half hour, talking earnestly, and their
voices were tender the forget-me that they
passed
Their conversation, decidedly personal,

from the conservatory with happier looks on their
faces Miss Folsom was blushing deeply and the
president held in his hand a rose from her bouquet
du corsage. The engagement had been made in the
conservatory 1t not announced to Mrs. Fol
