 The Spendthrift is Frances Ward tDorris MitchelD the wife of a hard working broker, whose eXtr%aganee brings him to the brink of ruin. She is a beautiful woman who cares more for social triumphs and the gilt er- ing incidentals of association with the money spending set than any thing else.
 It is necessary, in order that the audience be convinced of Mrs. Ward s extravagant habits, that she appear in some rather expensive clothes ere et ons. Because of that Miss Do1is Mitchell, who plays the part, vii! have the pleasure of displaying to a series of audiences which are probably as discriminating as any in the world, several gowns calcul ted to make women open their eyes Nith delight at the sight of them, and men close theirs at the Idea of having their sight assaulted by bills for similar sartorial triumphs.

Death Often Unkind In the Manner os
 Their Taking Off.
 Of the monarchs who have reigned over England since the days of the Norman conquest nearly one-quarter of the number have met violent deaths William l. was killed by fall from his horse, William II. was shot while hunting. whether by accident or de- sign is still one of the unsolved prob lens of history; Richard l. was killed by shaft from a crossbrow while besieging the city of Chaluz, in France; Richard II. was murdered in Pontefract castle. Edward II. was murdered in Berkeley castle and Edward V. in the Tower of London. l:ichard III. was killed on the battlefield of Bosworth. and Charles 1. had his head cut oil in London.
 Elizabeth's death was hastened by remorse that she had ordered the ex. ecution of Essex. and her sister Mary sickened and died soon after the loss of Calais. declaring that the name of that city would be found after death written on her heart. The death of Edward Ills son. the Black Prince, caused the aged monarch to die of grief. So. after the loss of his son In the White Snip. Henry l. was never seen to smile again and lived only 9 short time. Henry VI. and George III. were insane during the latter years of their reigns and finally died from what in these days would be called paresis. Charles H.. Henry VIII. Ed ward ". and George ". hastened their deaths by the lives they lived. Only two monarchs died of that great na' tional scourge. consumption. They were Edward VI. and Henry VII. Queen Anne's death was due as much as anything else to overfeeding. Only two mouarchs, Henry VI. and George ILL. died after long illuesses.-London Tntler,

Many Uses of Sand.
3 sands of the sea are singulariy

The sands Of the sea are s1ngular1V useful. They are of primary impor- tance in glassmaking. They have an important place in warfare, as a bank of sand twenty inches thick is proof against modern rifle shots. The cleo trieal properties of sand show that 1t has positive electricity, although a rod of silica, the chief constituent of sand. is negative.
 The singular drying effect which oc. CUTS when stretch of wet sand is pressed by the foot is due entirely to an alteration in the piling of the Sand grains. Normally the grains are close together, but abnormal piling is brought about by pressure of the foot. the space between the edges of the grains being enlarged and the water drained away. If the pressure of the foot Is continued the sand becomes wetter than ever, the partial vacuum quickly bringing water from the sur rounding sand.
 In Quicksand the moving character Is thought to be due to the imprlson- ment between the grains of gases from organic matter.-Chicago Tribune.

 MonaI Institution.
 "Nhen We think of Harvard or Yale, the former dating from 1898 and the latter from 17O1, we think of them as old universities" says writer ill the American Educational Review; but when we pass to the other side of the world We discover that even the oldest American universities are in reality very young .nstitutions.
 "The oldest educational institution in the world Is the University of El Ashar, Cairo, fonud"4I III the year 9SS by the great Sal,,ilh. 1t Is the central seat of learning for the whole Mo- hammedan world, as well as foun- tain of spiritual life. It occupies an ancient mosque in the Arab quarter of Cairo, surrounded by confusing maze of nArrow streets where the population Is made up of representatives of every race that follows the prophet.
 'The old mosque covers sGgeral acres and consists of a series ei evarts sur rounded by long cloisters with low roofs supported by forests of columns The floors of red tiles are covered daily by a multitude of men and boys, squat ting in semicircles around their teach CTS, who sit with their backs to tha columns featuring in monotoEes.
 "The chancellor of the university iH always descendant Of the prophet and Is usually man of ability and learning. He occupies apartments in Ell Ashar and Is not only the supreme educational but the ecclesiastical head of the church of Egypt
 "There is no organization similar to that ill modern universities.

St. Louis, Nov. 24-Hunting for a needle in a haystack isn't to be com- pared with hunting for the pin that is somewhere inside Miss Mary Smith. 1210 Grattan street, accord ing to the physicians at the City hos p:tal. There were originally three pins in Marys interior, but all save one have been found.
 Miss Smith, who is 21 years old, swallowed the pins Wednesday even- ing while laughing at a Polish joke. AS soon as she had swallowed the pins, she not only saw the point, but felt three points. She at once stop ped laughing.
 When Miss Smith arrived at the City hospital the doctors couldn't see the point, or points, even though they used an X-ray machine. But at 6:30 a. m. Thursday Miss Smith coughed mp two of the pins. The other is still sojourning in unexplored re- gions.
 Miss Smith put five pins into her mouth when she went to get her coat and hat from the wardrobe at the Lungstras Cleaning company's es- tablishment at Thirteenth street and Park avenue, where she is employed Several girls, crowding about the 'N'ardrobe, pushed an old Polish wo- man, who good naturedly made 8 joking remark in Polish. The laugh ter and disappearance of the pins fol- lowed.
