MRS WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE

 Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch"
 which comes to Polls tomorrow af- |ternoon and evening He is the dear. little fellow with whom Lovey Mary
 ran away from the orphan asylum and was sheltered in the home of Mrs Wiggs, that kindly optimist, whose
 arms were always ready to receive a distressed and unfortunate. This three year old actor is hit of the highest calibre, and thousands have felt the appeal of his cherubic inno- cence and grace. Mrs Wiggs" was a very hard play to cast, ewing to the
 unique and strongly accen tuated na- ture of all the leading characters.
 Not the le1s troublesome role to i'll
 was that of Tommy, but in Master Silman the management have found
 the ideal actor for the part. Seen
 among two hundred applicants for
 the position, tae young man was at

CURIOUS HOTEL CUSTOMS.
Where Every Cuss Word Costs n
Penny.

Where Every Cuss Word Costs a
curious custom prevails at an Edin-
burgh hotel. says Tit-Bits. Whenever a
customer is heard to swear he is re-
CURED to place a penny in box on the
bar counter. 1t is not a matter for
surprise that the landlord hears much
less bad language than some Of his fell
low publicans in the capital of Scot
land.
The following is a quaint idea for
providing funds for picnics and social
evenings. 1t is carried on with much
success at an Ashton-on- Mersey inn ::
A 'Fknocking club is connected with
the inn, and when customer calls for
refreshments he is expected to knock on
the table or counter before drinking If
he fails to do this he is fined one penny.
Any one who wrongfully accuses anoth-
er of breaking this unique rule is also
fined. The money thus obtained pro-
vides funds for many enjoyable outings
and pleasant evenings during the course
of the year.
At another hotel. known, as the Old
Hundred, customers are allowed only
one drink. If one is not sufficient to
quench their thirst they are obliged to
go out of the hotel and take a walk be-
fore they are allowed to have another.
Till recently the proprietor Of an old
time hotel in Warwickshlre used to In
Vite ell his customers TO accompany him
and his wife to the service at the parish
church on Sunday mornings, which was
situated on the opposite side Of the
road, the house being closed while they
were away. On returning each custom
er was invited to partake of refresh
ments offered by the hospitable landlord
free Of charge.
Visitors to a certain hotel In Aber-
deenshire who wear brown boots must
remember to keep them In their room
over night. Otherwise the boots will be
BACKED, regardless of the original color
of the same. In one Of the rooms of a
Dumfries public house is an old arm
chair which is said to have been fire.

increase in Candy COnsumptiOn.

An example of the enormous sums
which the American people spend an
nually on luxuries is shown by tn,
statement in the Confectioner' and Ba
kers' Gazette, to the effect that Tho
wholesale value of the candy output il
the United States for the current yea
viii exceed $1O0,O00,OO0. The cost t,
the consumers win run fully $4,000
900 in excess of this sum, this repre-
senting the profits Of jobbers and re-
taiIers
The manufacture of candies has been
increasing in leaps and bounds for the
asst three decades until the total cap.
IF the finished product have reached
tremendous proportions.
According to the United States cen.
sus figures the capital invested in the
manufacture of confectionery was So.
1864 in 1880. This had increased in
1890 to $685. 99, in 1900 to $26,-
319,195 and in 1905 to $43, 1875 ,40s. The
cost of materials used has increased
from $17,125,775 in 1880 to $31,116..
629 in 1890, to $35,354,208 in 1900, and
to $4s,S10,342 in 1905. The census
figures report the wholesale value of the
finished product as $25,637, 033 in 1880,
as $55,997,101 in 1890, as $60,643, 946
in 1900 and as $s7, Os7 1853 in 1905. At
the present time there are approximate.
ly 1900 factories engaged in this work.
According to Henry W. Hoops, presi.
dent of the National Confectioners
Association, people in the trade figure
the average value of the finished prod.
uct, at the factory, at is cents a pound,
so that the estimate of 500 DOC. 900 for
the product this year would mean an
output of approximately 667 900, 900
pounds Of candy, or nearly s1S pounds
per annum for every man, woman and
child in the United States.
The amount of glucose, parafine,
cheap favoring extracts and various
deleterious substances used in produc,
ing this output can scarcely be guessed
at. According to chemists and health
officials paraffine is used even in the
most expensive of chocolates. This is
true to such an extent that the pur.
chasers of chocolate candies annually
treat their digestive organs to several
tons of candies in this way.

EMPTY HOUSES m LONDON.

Fifty Thousand of Them at Present
Said to he Lacking Tenants.
Fifty thousand empty houses in Lon
donl John Burns made this startling
announcement In the house of commons
recently, says Tit-Bits. Large as thii
number Is there are those who believe
1t Is under rather than over the mark
A remarkable change has taken place
during the past FIVE or six years
Whereas, formerly landlords were mas
tiers OF the situation, tenants have nov
the whip hand in nearly every district
and are offered all manner of induce
ments to take houses.
1t is not long since that a premium
or, what amounts to the same thing
key mOney"-was demanded by prop
erty owners in some parts Of London
Today numbers of such men will act
ually allow tenants a discount, which
consists In the case of small property
of the expenses Of removal up to FL
or else of SO many weeks occupation
free. Usually no rent Is required for
the first fortnight, but in certain 10
calities the competition between prop
erty owners is so keen that the period
in some cases is one month, making the
discounts about e. Is or e IS.
A more curious bait is free insur'
ance. One company gratuitously in
sures each Of its tenants against fire
while another, besides safeguarding
the householder against this conting
ency, relieve him of apprehension re
speeding any damage to his furniture
by lightning or food.
Certain separate charges have also
been swept away, particularly in the
case of flats, which, it is said, are now
a drug in the market. Some landlords
for instance, made one for the clean
ing of the common staircase, this, with
the extra" for gas, amounting t.
about Is Cd per week. The IS pence
was really rent, and the reason 1t was
not called such was partly to evadt
payment of rates. When-this is ar
actual Casa man owned about fifty
flats and returned their rent as IL
pence per week each less than 1t really
was, his assessment was considerably
lower than 1t ought to have been, and
consequently he did not pay his due
proportion Of rates. But, of late Tex
tras" have frequently been cut to the
amount formerly set down as rent"

the secondhand man will have nothing
but whole papers, and they must be
clean, at that" This little monologue
may be heard most anywhere. The con.
ditions are about the same in any city
Of large or medium size. There is a
great deal Of accumulated material
around a house which is quite difficult
to dispose Of. 1t might be burned, but
an effort to dispose of the mass in an
ordinary stove would more than likely
lead to disaster, even II the stove is
Of suitable proportions to accommodate
the collection. Most of them are not.
The housekeeper's quandary has led
to the invention Of a model device to
be added to the equipment Of the house
hold 1t Is a refuse Instructor, in
which the accumulatlOns of the house
hold are to be disposed of by burning
in the back yard without danger. The
destruetOr is basket Of wire built on
an iron frame, supporting 1t several
inches above the ground. Into this the
household accumulations are dumped,
as we'll as the sweepings. A match ap-
piled soon reduces the big pile to a
handful Of dust. Such a device solves
completely the problem Of the disposal
of q great deal Of material.
