Wonders of Balance King.
Teddy Helmerichs and his balancing
feats seemed to delight both large and
small. He balanced everything available
from a turkey feather to bunch of six
chairs. He tossed lighted lamps into the
air and not a chimney broke. He balanced
a sharp sword on the end of his nose
and when he left the ring for good ii was
only after he had exhausted every trick
in his repertoire.
The clowns frolic was the real great
piece of work In it was involved a
of students who delighted to serve their

A Much Talked of Play

Wouldn't 1t be splendid to happen into Greater New York just at this time and glimpse the new plays? Particularly would it be attractive to be on the ground floor of the controversy between MT. Harrison Grey Fisl1e and Col Henry w Savage, over the most talked of play of the hour-known as "The Devil''? It is running at two theatres-two versions of the same play-Mr. Fiske presents MT. George Arliss at the Belasco, and Colonel Savages "devil'' at the Garden is Mir Edwin Stevens
 The rival managers accuse each other of theatrical theft and legal proceed ings are to take place at once.
 An amusing proceedings on the premier evening was a string of sandwich men who paraded around the Belasco, carry ing signs bearing the legend, Thou shalt not steal"
 "Toujours rAudace" appears to be the motto of this play, as it is of nearly every modern production. And why? Bronsen Howard succeeded with his clean, wholesouled plays, why not others? We have had enough of the Shaw, Ibsen, Sudermann type. It seems pity these problems can't be thrown to the winds and the submerged side of life eliminat ed from the theatre. But-"The Devil'- let us see what he says:
 'oOnSluer WHal u Stupiu Worlu It Woult be If we all told the truth-there would be no conversation" is one of his plati- tudes-and proceeding on this line "rhe Devil' appears a highly polished gen tleman of cynical wit and worldly philos- ophy, and Is intedded to represent the evil side of a mans inner conscience per sonified. while he never passes the line of mortal possibility, and might, after all, be nothing more than a meddling cynic. His victims are four normal mem- bers of Viennese society, while the only one who escapes his clutches is already a social outcast
 The play is from the pen of a Hun garian, Terenc Molnar, MT. Fiskes pre- sentation being translated by Alexander Konta and William Troubrdge Larned, while MT. Oliver Herford has done Colo mel Savages
 Mir George Arliss. who will be remem- bered in the south by theatregoers in his splendid work with Mrs. Fiske in Leah Kleschna, is simply carrying New York by storm. He is said to have achieved the greatest artistic triumph of his life-which is saying much for this wonderful artist.

A bargain sale in shoes was respon- sible recently in New York for very clever sch eme which two people put into effect in the shoplifting line.
 A woman and girl appeared and pro- ceded to the basement of one of the big Sixth avenue stores, where the sale was going on. It looked like bedlam. Wom- en were pulling, fighting and tearing each others clothes off for a pair of shoes marked down to $1.49 from $5. It looked like a female football team making a center rush. These two peo- pie got in the fight hauling over and looking at the various bargains until they finally found the numbers they wanted. They promptly sat down and put on the shoes, and as no clerk ap- peared they gazed around hopelessly, as though really looking for one.
 Presently the girl said:
 Let's not wait any longer; we'll never be waited on."
 The two walked quickly to the en- trance and got away, leaving their old shoes behind them. It was some minu- tes before the theft was discovered the manager being the first to notice the two pairs of discarded shoes. He rushed about trying to find out who had been trying on shoes, but tn cou- pie had already got safely away The game was a bold one, and would prob ably fail save on the occasion of a bargain rush.

Around the House

In hanging pictures the stepladder may be made more secure by taclting pieces of rubber on the bottom. There will be less danger of slipping.
 Cane chairs may be frightened in the water and soap dry them in the open air, and besides being clean they will be as tight new.
 If your table Is disfigured by alcohol from the chafiing dish treat 1t by first rubbing in well little wood alcohol then to remove the resultant whitish mark wet a piece of very soft flannel with camphorated oil and rub the spots thoroughly. Leave the surface very oily for several hours and finally polish en- ergetically with a bit of chamois.
 To clean books with light leather bind ings, use piece of flannel dipped In pow dered pumice stone.
 If the cellar is dark and the steps are dangerous, a good idea is to have the last step painted white so 1t can mark the descent, even in a dim light.
 Squeaky hinges may easily be avoided by the generous use of kerosene oil.
 A good idea to keep away fiiks, moths and other insects Is to drop little para fein in the water when cleaning windows and hoors
 To preserve lemons place them separate ly under a glass on the pantry shelf. They will keep indefinitely.
 Brass beds may be rubbed with olive oil every fortnight with good effect Apply with a soft flannel cloth, and rub off inn mediately with cheese cloth.

Canned Fruits

An authority in a well known eastern newspaper recommends the following re- scipes for canned goods:
 To one pound of peaches use half pound of sugar. Put sugar on fire with a little water and let it boil until clear Pack jars tightly with peaches and fill them up with syrup. Put jars in large boiler of water standing them on slabs of wood.
 Canned Pineapple.-Pare ripe, juicy pineapples, cut into slices an inch thick. To one pound of fruit allow one-fourth pound of sugar. Put them into preserv- ing kettle together, and add very little water if the juice is not enough. As soon as they are well scalded put into hot jars and seal at once. A
 Canned Pears.-To every three pounds of fruit allow IF pounds of sugar and a half pint of water. Peel pears and lay them in cold water to keep them from turning dark. When syrup is boiling put in pears and cook until they are clear and fork will go into them easily. Have jars standing in pan of hot water and carefully filling them with the fruit. Pour syrup over them, filling to top. Seal at once.

Birmingham, study it's intricate complica- tions and then try to comprehend the proposition of serving 100000 people.
 Thirty-two mail trains dump their cargoes of mail matter on the distrib- uting clerks desk in the Birmingham postoffice every day. These trains bring an average of 5000 letters each making a grand total of 100000 letters alone. This does not include papers and packages
 Stop minute and think of this. More than letter and a half for every man, woman and child living in the territory served by the free delivery carrier ser vice of Birmingham every day. These letters set on edge back to fact would make a row of letters standing on edge two-thirds the distance around one of the city blocks.
 Split open, the envelopes would paper every inside wall in the Brown-Marx building. The envelopes and enclosures spread out would make a tent large enough to accommodate the actual pop ulation of Birmingham seated.
 Do you wonder that practically all this enormous mass of mail hits the spot without a moments delay on the part of the distributing clerk7
