RICH SOCIALIST WOULD FOUND
 THEATER

Alden Freeman Of East orange, the richest socialist in this country. through the death of his father. Joel Francis. formerly treasurer of the Standard oil company. is planning to use his wealth to promote free thought.
 He is working out the idea of an independent theater. in which rad realism can be taught by dramas that will deal unflinchingly with religion. morality and riches and poverty.
 ''I want tn employ this money to educate people" he said. Nothing in the world can accomplish more than education.
 Tt seems to me- he said, expand ing his answer. that an excellent idea would be to promote free thought by investigating and disseminating facts concerning all religions. all sys- tems of morality. the distribution Of proudcts of labor and resources of Nature.
 This can only be obtained by means of free lectures on these sub jects, free schools where they can he explained. and possibly through an in dependent theater. one that is not controlled by any special interests. where radical plays can be produced" New York Mail.

FINISH EVERY DAY

Dear old Dr. Emerson. writing a
 ton to men for generations after he had gone the way of all earth, said:
 Finish every day and be done with
 it. You have done what you could.
 Some blunders and absurdities, no
 doubt, crept in; forget them as soon
 as you can
 Finish every day and be done with it" Make every day as complete in
 itself as if you expected it to be your
 last and wanted your record as man
 or a woman to stand upon it. The
 life lived along that line will rarely fail to be a happy and comfortable one It has its compensation in the knowledge that each sunset finds its work completed.
 Life lived in that fashion Obviates
 hurry and worry for each task com
 pleted at the right time leaves room for many more things and so one may
 be just a little ahead Of his work.
 It was the great general. Napoleon, afterwards emperor of the French who said that he had never found a limit to his capacity for work. With out knowing anything about the per- sonal life of the man who raised him.
 self from the position of an inconspic-
 uous soldier in the ranks to be among the few great generals of all time and to a place where he made nations and continents tremble, one must COIL ceive that he kept at his tasks, what ever they were. with singular fidelity and assiduity. The history of his sue cesses are confirmation of that. Yet Napoleon had his hours of dis coura cement. periods when it seemed as if everything was slipping from him. But one can not conceive of him sitting down in idle and useless grieving In face of everything he continued to work--tO complete his days tasks entirely human, within the prescribed limit of a mans capac- ity to work.
 If we were not human we could
 not make blunders. So why grieve today over the blunder made yester- day? Let it teach its lesson. Make il a warning sign on the road of des- tiny. so that you may avoid similar mistakes in the future. Follow Dr. Emerson's advice, and if they cannot help you. try to forget them as soon as possible.
 Life is too beautiful: it is too full of rich rewards and ennobling com pensations to waste it in idleness or useless repining over things that have passed beyond human power to rem edv. Rather use your energies and your abilities in building up future
 that will blot out any of the errors you have made in the past. That is the best part part of the oppor- tunity offered by the drawing of each new day-a chance to begin over again.

HOUSEKEEPING IN PERSIA.

The young matron who complains of houseWOrk as difficult task should visit the kitchen of the Per sian housekeeper and she would prob ably come home rejoicing that after all the domestic problem was pretty easy at home.
 The chief reason for this difficulty in Persia is the fact that many things, which in other countries may be bought ready for use, must be prepared by the Persian hOusekeeper. If she wants flour, first she must buy the wheat, clean it and sift it and send it to the miller, who lives per haps days journey from her.
 The wheat must be sent by the most trusty servant. who will watch the miller to see that he does not take too much toll, and maybe she will send second servant to watch the first
 The Persian cook stove. or range" is merely row of hollow boxes made Of sundried brick, in which is built a charcoal fire. over these boxes are placed strips of iron on which the kettles rest.
 Native cookery does not include many things that are to Q baked, but if an eccentric foreigner demands a cake or pie the cook will prepare beds of glowing charcoal in two boxes.
 over one of these he will place the article to be baked and this he will cover with copper pan and on top of the pan he will place the hot coals
 Most Persian implements are very heavy and awkward to handle. The cooking utensils are of copper and the bowls in which clothes are wash ed are of earthenware.
 The washerwoman has no bench on which to place the bowl and no board on which to rub them. and it looks rather primitive to see a woman sit ting beside a water course pounding clothes with a stone.
 This. however, is the method uni versally employed by the poorer classes, and it is to he preferred to their washing them by hand, which wears out the clothes as well as the hands at a marvellous rate.

The Clark Mansion.

The great house which Senator Will liam 4. Clark has been building on Fifth avenue.

 It is not only the most costly house" in America. but the most costly private residence ever con- structed in the world.

Current Comment
COMMON SENSE ON THE Ml-
 cRoBE QUESTION.

. good many people will have read the remarks lately made on the mi crobe question by pr. Alvah H Doty. health officer of the port of New York, with sense of lively satisfaction and some feeling of re- lief. Their tenor was that the male ficient influence and activity of the omnipresent microbe as an agent for the destruction of health and life had been absurdly exaggerated and that if people would think less and worry less upon this subject 1t would be a great deal better for them.
 pr Doty expressed the opinion. and it is an opinion in which many will agree with him. that a large part of the agitation over microbes which has gone on within the past few years is to the last degree irrational and
