Have you seen '"The Star Bout" al Polls this week? If not you are miss ing one of the greatest treats of the vaudeville season. "The Star Bout is one of the most expensive and most elaborate acts in vaudeville, incorpO- rating three mammoth stage settings, among which is the sensational six round bout between two expert glove artists, presented in sixteen-foot rnig and with all the realism and de- tail of a genuine championship con- test. In addition there is a human interest story woven through the piece a touching love story that appeals to everybody in the audience. An oppor- tunity is given in "The Star Bout" to those who have never seen a real ring side exhibition to glean accurate knowledge of just how an affair of the atr of manly defence is carried out
 The entire bill this week is clever and finished. One of the most artistic items is the famous mechanical doll presentation. Others who are making hits this week are: Coombs & Stone, in their laughing success, "The Last of The Troupe;;'' The Three Lelliotts, Marry Musical Monarchs;'' The bur- lesque "The Misfit Army" Shewbrooke & Berry, a clever travesty duo; and the Electrograph, introducing the lat est in motion pictures.

MEANING OF
 CANDLEMAS DAY
Symbolism of the Day Explained as # IS
 Understood in the Catholic Church.

l In the Catholic churches today IS ] Candlemas Day, or the Feast or the | Purification of the Blessed Virgin. According to the Mosaic law mother | who gave birth to a man child was considered unclean for forty days When the allotted days were over she was to take lamb or some similar offering to the temple as sacrffica. The priest prayed for her and she was cleansed. Forty days after the birth of Christ, or after Christmas Day, the Mother Mary compiled with the pre- cept of the law, she redeemed her first born from the temple, and was purt- fled by the prayer of Simeon the Great in the presence of Anna the Prophecies (Luke ii, p, e. t. sq.)
 Today, Feb. 2, is forty days after the birth of Christ. At one of the masses the candles used throughout the year are blessed and distributed to the lality.
 Tn churches where sufficient number of priests are to be had, procession is held. The body forms in the church and then marches outside, again marching inside. representing the en- World.
 The candles that are used must be of beeswax, which therefore being al- ways pure, represent the body Of Christ. The wick symbolizes the soul of Jesus Christ, and the flame the D1- vinity which absorbs and dominates both.
 At Easter time the Pascha1 candle is lit, and represents the True Light. while the smaller candles represent the Christians.

THE THEATRES
SMITHS.

The weeks engagement of Quincy
 Adams Sawyer" opened last evening and everyone in attendance enjoyed the production to the utmost. The attrac- tlon is far out of the ordinary. and it was universally agreed that the criti- clsm that it is ''the best New England play ever written was fully deserved. The daily bargain matinees. at 25 cents to all parts of the house. will afford the ladies especially an excellent op- portunity of seeing this beautiful play, and there IS little doubt that they will avail themselves of the chance in large numbers. The play tells a very pretty and engaging story. and it is filled with heart interest and humor from one end to the other. This should be the banner week at Smiths theatre, for this is one of the prettiest plays ever seen here. and is even better than it was during it's earlier days. for the cast is entirely worthy. and the stag ing of the play has been we'll attended to. It is just six years ago that the play was seen here. and it is appar- entity just as popular to-day as 1t was then.
 Clyde Fitch who has first and last. by the production of fifty plays. de- clared himself the champion of the American girl has again given delight full evidence of his love for and faith in American womanhood in his latest play 'The Happy Marriage" which Charles Frohman will bring here next week Wednesday evening. In Joan Thornton, the heroine of the new play, MT. Fitch has drawn the American girl whose purity and honesty are unas- sailable: they are so much a part of her that she is not herself conscious of their possession. '"The Happy Mar riage' tells the usual story in an un- usual way. The young wife who be- gins to feel herself neglected the young husband who believes he is de- voted to his business for his wife's sake, and the young social idler. These are the component parts of this inter- esting play.

ANGER is DANGEROUS.
u Wrecks the Whole System and
Tends to Shorten Life.

II is we'll known that violent fit Of
temper affects the heart instantly, and
psychophysicists have discovered the
presence Of poison in the blood imme-
diately after. such outburst. This ex.
plains why we feel so depressed, ex-
hausted and nervous after any storm
Of passion-worry, jealousy or revenge
has swept through the mind. 1t has
left in its wake vicious mental poison
and other harmful secretions IN the
brain and blood.
There is no constitution so strong
but it will ultimately succumb 10 the
constant racking and twisting Of the
nerve centers caused by an uncon-
trolled temper. Every time you be-
come angry you reverse all Of the nor
NAL mental and physical processes.
Everything In you rebels against pas
sion storms; every mental faculty pro-
tests against their abuse.
If people only realized what havoc
Indulgence In hot temper plays In
they could only see with the physical
eyes the damage done as they can see
what follows in the wake Of tornado,
they would not dare to get angry.
When the brain cells are overheated
from fit Of temper their efficiency Is
seriously impaired, If not absolutely
ruined. The presence Of the anger pol
son, the shock to the nervous system,
is what makes the victim so exhausted
and demoralized after loss Of self con-
trol.-Orison SWEET Marden in Success

lSHMAELS OF CEYLON.
The Rodisas, a Curious Tribe Of So
eal Outcasts.

There is q curious tribe of people in
Ceylon called the Rodigas, who live
the life of social Ishmaels, despised
and cast out by their fellows. Until
quite recently they lived apart from
the abodes of other men, in holes and
caves. In no case may they lie down
to rest with other men. They may not
enter q temple or court of justice
and on all occasions are compelled to
'stand afar Off" So low down in the
scale of humanity are they placed that
they may not even speak with stran-
gers except through the intermediary
Of q man of the lowest caste above
their own. OF late years their status
has been improved, and they are less
servile IN consequence, but even now
they fall on their knees with uplifted
hands to address people of the lowest
recognized caste, and upon the ap-
proach Of traveller they shout to
warn him to stop until they can get Off
the road and he can pass without risk
Of defilement from the proximity Of
their persons. 1t Is curious and yet so
characteristic of society In all coun-
tries and all levels that even among
these people, who seem to have reached
the very lowest rung of the human lad
der, there are classes and social dis
tinctions. Thus the ambetteyos, or
BARRIERS, and the hanomoreyos, or betal
box makers, are looked upon with con-
tempt by the despised, ostracized Rodi-
gas. who go to the length Of shutting
up their dogs lest they should stray
into TIA houses of the lowborn or
gnaw bone that they may throw at
them.-Dundee Advertiser.

DON'T FIGHT THE WEATHER.
Try the Plan of Being on Friendly
Terms With IL.

What q great misfortune this Is, the
habit of considering the weather-of
thinking that we must consider the
weather.! 1t is largely due, is it not to
clothes2 No mention Is made Of rain
I'm the garden of Eden, but we must
not therefore contend that rain was
disagreeable and omitted. We must
recollect that Adam and Eve did not
need to consider rain. Furthermore,
that 1t was anything to be considered.
To mind the rain no more than the
May sunshine, but to plunge into 1t
and let the drops pelt as they will, to
accept snow without thought Of dis
comfort, but, rather, to enjoy the
thronging presence of It; to pursue
ones daily stint regardless Of whether
the sky be dun or blue-this is state
which we, especially OF the cities, long,
long have lost.
We regain 1t, some Of us, In the will

All the centuries of fussing and FUN.

the weather one particle. 1t still rains

as dictated by circumstances. There.

Where Parliament Failed.

According to all accounts, the Cam
eron highlanders militia are a fine
body Of men physically. Not long ago
four of them occupied the least crowd
ed seat in a full compartment on a
Scotland railway. Just as the train
was moving off dlminutive little cler-
gyman jumped into the compartment
and tried to edge himself in between
two Of the highlanders. Not finding
It very comfortable, he turned to the
one on his right and said: "Sit up,
please. You know that according to
act of parliament, the seat holds five"
The highlander looked at him for a
moment and then replied: THAT may
be a richt enough for your kind, sir,
but shairly ye Gamma blame me for no
bein' constructed according to act Of
parliament!

WONDERS OF VELOCITY.
A Piece Of Thin Cardboard Will Cut
Through Wood.


Velocity has great deal to do
with one substances ability to break
through another, and II is remarkable
what can be accomplished by a COM
para lively soft substance against a
much harder one when the former Is
given enough velocity. a bullet made
of tallow candle would smash fat II
fired against board from a toy gun,
but when shot from an army rifle 1t
will go right through the board. A
stream Of water has been known to
have such swiftnesS Of movement that
q sword was broken In two when q
strong man tried TO cut 1t through.
Cyclones have b.-n known to drive
such frall proJectlies as straws well
into tree.
An interesting experiment showing
what n soft substance can do may be
performed by attaching bristol
board disk TO the motor Of an electric
fan and setting II to revolving at the
fans usual rate. If piece of wood,
such as Il lead pencil, for example, be
carefully applied to the edge Of the
revolving disk, the wood will very
readily be cut through. OF course if
the disk were TO revolve slowly the
wood would soon blunt its edge.-Path-
finder.

Paris Under tho Rule of the Third
Napoleon.

Never was there so pleasure loving
and so easy going court, and seldom
has there been one which was exter-
nally so splendid. The emperor spent
money like water and thereby produc-
ed a prosperity for the time and with
It popularity for the government.
Hundreds Of millions were lavished
upon Paris, much Of 1t being wasted,
yet none the less with the result that
the city really deserved its title la
vile lumiere. In these days 1t has
gone to seed and grown shabby, but in
1869 everything seemed fresh and
new and brilliant and imposing. The
army was rotten to the core. Yet the
emperor's cent gardes were splendid
soldiers to the eye. Society was no
less demoralized, yet its gayety was
exhilarating. These were the days
when 1t was said that good Americans
when they die go to Paris. The en-
peror conferred distinction by recog-
nizing any foreigner. The empress set
the fashions for the world. 1t was all
sham, but it was thoroughly mag
niflcent in It's way. 1t can best be
understood at present by reading 10
las early novels, by recalling some
chapters OF Daudet's "Le Nabab" and
by remembering Jacques Offenbach,
whose opera bouffe was the most char
acterlstic production Of an empire
which itself was bouffe. That shall
low and yet catchy music was tonal
sneer Every libretto was mock at
the old time virtues Of chastity and
honor and courage.-Harry Thurston

Colds In the Head.
"When l was a boy" said a doctor,
81 didn't believe In drafts. / thought
that they who imputed colds to drafts
were cranks. But one November
night at concert / felt all the even
ing a strong draft on the back Of my
neck. 1t was so strong 1t resembled a
suction pump. Now said / to my
self, wen see II this draft will give
yours truly cold.'"
He shuddered.
"For week." he said, II was laid
up with so vile a cold that / couldn't
breathe save with my mouth open.
And now l am satisfied that nine out
OF every ten colds are solely due to a
draft on the back of the neck.
81 know how to prevent such colds
Hence l may practically say that /
know how to prevent all colds. 1t Is a
fact that none Of my patients. thanks
to my method, know what cold is.
"They learn from me to do this-tO
bathe the back Of the neck every
morning in cold water. Thus the spot
becomes hardened. 1t becomes draft
proof
"And when new patient, peculiarly
sensitive to colds, visits me, my pecul-
lar treatment Is to blow on the back
Of his neck with bellows for several
days In succession. The bellows. in

him from all future susceptibility.
