Paris, Dec. 1e.-The begging habit In
Paris theaters, which Is q source Of con-
siderable annoyance to the playgoers, led
to an amusing scene, not on the stage
but in front Of the house, in the Theater
de Ia Porte, st. Martin. the other even
ing. One Of the attendants asked spec
tator whom she had just shown to his
place in the stalls for her little profit. "
This is the Paris theater attendants gen.
tie reminder Of the tar which is resented
so much.
The spectator got up and made little
speech. He refused to pay for being
shown to a seat which he had bought.
Another man in the front row of the
dress circle seconded the motion that
begging In Paris theaters should be abol-
Ished, and there has been quite a small
fuss made In all the Paris newspapers
about their protest.
Now the management of the Porte ST.
Martin and Ambigu intend to bell the
cat and institute a method by which beg
Ring in Paris theaters IL to become i'm
possible. They mean to pay their theater
attendants, and any money given them for
cIoakroom fees, or other extras, by the
public may be accepted only in return
for q printed receipt. This will mean that
the theatergoer will be worried little
less, but will pay as much as ever.

HEALTH AS AN INVESTMENT.
Societies and Insurance Companies
Erect Tuberculosis Sanatorih.


AS an investment in the health of their
members. four large fraternal orders,
two international labor unions. and one
OF the largest insurance companies in
the United States have established sana-
toria for the treatment OF tuberculosis,
according to a statement issued by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis.
The Royal League, the first fraternal
order to establish a sanatorium, con-
ducts a hospital for its tuberculosis
members at Black Mountain. The Mod
ern Wcodmen of America conducts one
at Colorado Springs, the Workmen's Cir
Gle, at Liberty, N. Y, and the Independ-
ent Order of Foresters has one at Rain
bow Lake, n. Y, and will soon open
a second one at San Fernando, Cal.
The International Typographical Union
has since 1893 conducted a sanatorium
at Colorado Springs, and the Interna-
tional Printing Pressmen and Assistants
Union of America has recently opened
a new institution at Rogersvilfe, Tenn.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany Is now erecting a sanatorium at
Mount McGregor, N. Y, which will be
the first OF its kind to be established
by an 'old line" insurance company.
In addition to these institutions already
established, the Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order OF EIks, the Foresters Of
America, the knights OF Columbus, the
Independent Order Of Odd Fellows, and
several other orders are considering the
advisability of erecting sanatoria for
their tuberculosis members. Some of
the large fraternal orders and labor
unions, like the Ladies OF abe Maccabees
of the World, the International Photo
Engravers Union, and others conduct
educational campaigns against tubercu-
losis, though they do not have sanatoria
OF their own. The Equitable Life As
surance Society also has recently estab-
lished a Conservation department" in
which the prevention of tuberculosis will
be given especial attention. Other In
surance companies are considering SINH
lar action.
Since the membership OF the leading
fraternad orders alone is nearly 150oo, 900,
the National Association estimates that
about 5000 members OF these lodges die
of tuberculosis alone every year. Since
more than half OF these lives could be
saved at comparatively small outlay,
the association figures that the frater-
nal orders are losing millions every year
In death claims which might be saved.

SOCIETY WELL ESTABLISHED.
American Women in London Have
Excellent OrEa nIEatIoH.

London. Dec. 16.-At the annual fall
luncheon of the Society of American
Women, held at the Criterion Restaurant.
Mrs William Cummings, who presided.
said that the society was now well es-
tablished in London, and trusted by
their friends on both isdes of the At
lantic. She thought that they should
make their society a sort of Marconi
station for the transmission OF ideas from
cne continent to another.
The object OF the society, as Mrs.
William Cummings explained, was to
bring together the best intellectual life
in the two countries and TO join together
in such a way as to take part in the
harmony of nations.
Prof de Sumichrast, who was present
al the dinner, said that Americans have
the firm idea that woman is as good as
man. and that 1t is impossible to uproot
the idea. He also stated that the most
splendid effect of democracy in the Unit
ed States of America had been the up
lifting OF women. Ridicule only resulted
in a stronger general belief that women
had equal right to liberty with men.

Larks of a Montana Town.

Many towns and cities in the East
may boast of their parks filled with
squirrels so tame that they eat out OF
your hands, &C., but Forsyth can rival
them in its meadowlarks.
These birds are so tame that they win
visit with one in the early morning on
the back porch or sit on the sidewalks
and eye you lnduisitively as you pass
by. The young of this season are espe-
cially tame. This speaks well for the
boys and girls OF the city, for to them
this confidence of the birds Is largely
due. II the boys and girls don't chase
them, they are sure to be tame, and Il
is a very delightful thing to the stranger
to see them %.
