The Hazard Of the Play.

Patients who are advised by phys
icians that the theater is a better tonic
than medicine for tired nerves and
faded frame, are prone to retort that
the price of good seats makes the play
house an expensive luxury. This is a
careless reply, given without consider
ing the cost OF modern amusement en-
terprises or the hazards attending
them. The rewards seem high, to an
outsider, for success in the theatrical
world, but the manager is never free
from the realization that it is largely
a gamble, and the disasters of the pro-
fession are as forbidding as the prizes
are alluring.
New York, that spendthrift center OF
pleasures. has Just permitted a highly
praiseworthy Italian opera company to

each play represents a tremendous out
lay before the first production which
may stamp It a failure, and even then

The Teakettls and the Wife.

Ever since man became civilized
enough to demand hot water Tor a
shave and woman became addicted to
the condolences OF coy tea, the kettle
with a swan-neck spout has played the
role Of leading lady in the melodrama
one of his most popular stories with a
dissertation on how the teakettle be-
gan 1t. 1t was the teakettle that gave
the inspiration for the steam engine.
All these years man has been consider
ing the teakettle as a sort of idealized
songbird of household comfort, whose
activity was concurrent with the purr
of happiness in the breast of every
faithful wife.
1t t~ranspires, however that all is not
happiness that sings. Lulled by the
tactful h~ousewifery behind whose smile
he sought not the shadow, nan has
been suffering his daughters to go in
for athletics and higher mathematics
and other physical Inc mental calls
themes remote from acquaintance with
kitchen range and sink. The women
have been too busy with their dTudgery
to interfere, or it may be that they have
deliberately let the girls alone in their
pursuits in the hope that the new crops
of husbands would finally get what was
coming to them.
At any rate, more than In the old
fashioned days Of "stints'' that taught
the girls how to cook and wash and
mend, the modern miss has approached
her future state with a dream, as one
wise wife of experience puts it, of a
dainty kitchen walled in blue and white
tiles, with neat scrim curtains and red
geraniums In the windows, and ca
naries singing in golden cages. To one
dreamer this good housewife said
Wait till o discover the pathos of
the teakettle, the sadness of the flat
iron and the tragedy of the mop"
1t can readily be seen, when one
stops to consider, how the constant fill
ing and refilling Of the teakettle would
tend to inspire yearnings for a change
of duties upon even the most enthusi-
astic devotee to her husbands creature
comforts. Reduction Of the fittings and
reliftings Of that kettle to foot-pounds
as an estimate of the p~rodigious vol
ume of that single item of work, would
rout a man, yet the oma must keep
on singing her roundelay in unison
with her kettle. And the kettle is only
one of the distracting diversions In the
merry play Of keeping house.
Fortunately. there Is hope. Dawn is
at hand. The high schools Of the coun-
try are to start the kettle on its inspir-
ing way to a higher education which
the universities are to finish. Even so
great an institution as Columbia is
leading In the crusade for the abolition
of domestic drudgery, and by its, school
of household arts is to demonstrate to
the world the a with which a man
on a small salary may have a home Of
contentment without making a slave of
his wife. The holder of the degree of
mistress of household arts is to flaunt
her diploma in the face of the grocer
who reports that eggs is gone up"
the sheepskin is to serve as a solace
against the discovery that the sugar
has run out, and under it's magic use
as a wand the broom and the mop and
the coal scuttle will have vanished and
the wall of the teakettle no more will
be heard in the land.

Fig Growing on The Eastern Shore

The culture of figs, which has been en-
gagged in by number of persons in the
vicinity of Royal Oak and St. Michaers,
Talbot county, for several years, has
reached higher state of perfection during
the present year than ever before. Not
only has the yield been larger than ever
before, but the fruit has been more perfect
and of larger size. In many instances figs
have been gathered that would equal in
size medium-sized pear, and Inequality
is equal to any.of the imported article.
1t is said that the soil in that vicinity is
especially adapted to the growth of this
fruit.
There are always two crops of figs, the
first usually droppingl from the bushes
before maturity, the second crop being the
one from which the yield is expected.
This year, however, the first crop matured
on the bushes and the fruit was even
larger and of better quality than the
second crop. The second crop, however,
produced larger yield
