A DIGNIFTED PROGRAM.

Lyman H Howe is practically the
only exhibitor in this country who
presents pictures with the seriousness
and dignity that should characterize
this modern art. This claim is well
substantiated by mere mention of some
of the features of the new program
to be seen at the Towle Opera House
tonight. 1t covers a trip to Naples,
India, Savoy (France) and Sicily. A
personally conducted drive through
Rome, a review of a brilliant military
pageant in London, as well as the
Reedham Orphans in new drill, stir
ring scenes of Australian sports and a
still more exciting steeplechase in Eng
land, novel and weird effects of physi-
cal phenomena, and the strange friend
ship of birds and animals. as well as
many others.

Dead Historians.

for my part believe in the dead
historians. 1 glory in the possession
of some hundreds of volumes by them.
A great deal of cant is talked and
written on this subject. There is an
idea in some minds that book on
history to be good must be new. In
nine cases out of ten the new book Is
commonplace restatement of facts
that were better presented by an older
writer.-London Sphere.

Wear Eurs Continually.

Throughout the cold ATTITUDES OF
China during the winter the Chinese
of all classes wear fur, wool or hair
lined garments. Even the coolies
have their sheep or goat skins. and
people of the middle and official
classes have many sets of garments
lined with the richest furs. Their
houses are rarely heated to comfort
able temperature, and in consequence
they wear their furs both indoors and
out.
