srARLAND THEATER IMPROVED

A absolutely new and unique method
of lighting moving picture houses
whereby the auditors may view the
entertainment without sitting in abso-
lutte darkness has been taken up by
the Starland theater. The work was
done by TruaX Erickson, a local cleo
trician and is one of the best jobs
of its kind in the city. 1t is now
possible for patrons of the theater to
secure their seats without stumbling
over chairs. The lighting conditions
also enables them to enjoy the show
to better advantage.

Rumors are busy picking out men,
bers for President-elect Wilson's Of
fetal household. There seems to be
no doubt whatever but that William
J. Bryan can be secretary of State,
and therefore, the Premier of the
Wilson cabinet if he so desires. A
great many of Mr.. Bryan's friends
are urging him to accept this high
position, and there seems to be some
ground. for hope that he will do so.
Mr.. Bryan is probably better fitted
for that position than any other man
in America. He has twice travelled
around the world and has visited Cen
trail and South American countries,
and has in other ways eminently quail
flied himself to deal with matters
affecting our foreign relations. Fur
thermore, many critics of Mr. Bryan
have charged him with being a
dreamer" and theorist, and therefore,
an impractical man. By accepting the
Office of Secretary of State he would
be in a position to show that is a
statesman of very practical sort and
one who can do things.

UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW
Ho Hopes the Boy Win Turn Cut to 80 Good Judge of Men, When
 His Turn Comes.

"stevey. my boy. said Uncle Hiram 10 his hopeful nephew, T hope it will turn out that you are good judge of men, for by virtue of that quality a man Is able in effect to multiply his own power
 Tt iE common thing to hear people say that the more pay a man gets the less work be does, and as to the doing of actual labor this may be true. somebody else saws the wood while he sits by the fire.
 "As matter of fact there are plen- ty of men high up who still work hard, and all of them certainly worked hard when they were younger, and if they are doing less actual labor now it is because they are good judges of men. able 10 pick out for the busi- ness under their direction just the right men to do the work and carry 1t forward successfully.
 Really it is in the exercise of this gift that we find the greatest value in a manager; it Is Just this that makes him worth his high pay. We want him to sit around and take things easy and give himself time to think and keep his head clear We don't want him to get out and chop down trees. We want him to be Gble to select men who can do that work to the greatest advantage and with the greatest economy.
 Some of us know men on sight and some don't 1 hope. Stevey. that you will turn out to be a good judge of men"

The Na,ien Of Hotel kespers.

The playground of Europe" is the very appropriate name bestowed upon Switzerland In the summer time tourists come from all parts of the world and fill the hotels-the best or ganized and best kept of any in the world-for the Swiss are nation of hotel keepers. The statement of the Chocolate Soldier. the hero of Bern ard Shaw's Arms and the Man" that his famiiy has home with three hun dred rooms, fifty servants. twenty cows and so on. sounded like haro- nial tale until he explained that be was the son of Swiss hotel keeper, Now the long and severe Swiss win ter has been turned to advantage. and even when the great. blue lakes are frozen and the snow manaes the lower hills, the tourist still raves over the varied beauties and grandeur Of the Swiss scenery and the many delights of her mountain hostelries.- Joe Mitchell chapple in National Magazine.

IT PLEASES THE SERVANTS
Berlin Police Arbitrarily Fix the Sums They Shall Be Allowed for
 Food.

Another instance of the way in which the Berlin police authorities in. terest themselves in every detail of the private life of the eity's inhabi- tants Is afforded by a decree just Is sued by the police president which arbitrarily fixes the sum per day which is to be allowed for feod to domestic servants during their em- ployers' absence in summer.
 The term domestic servant" in cludes everything, from the maid of al work of the small household to the butler. with all his retinue of lesser lights. in the house of the rich. and the decree lays down that each man servant shall receive a daily allow ance of 35 cents and each maid ser want 30 cests for food during the whole time of their employers ab- sence
 The new police regulation has been greeted with more delight by the servants than by their employers, es- peeially among the middle classes. where the domestic servant problem HI Nethahs ID Atteaus sesoeS u. Although the amount of the daily al lowanoe cannot be considered as ex- cessive in relation to the present prices of food. when it Is remembered that the ordinary wage. which in Ger many is anything from 37.U per month upward for the average domes- tic servant. has also to be paid dur ing the employers absence, 1t will be seen that the new regulation will mean considerable item in the reckoning of the middle-clsss family about 10 start on its summer vacation.

PARIS LIKES WHITE CANARY
New sonebird Is Most Popular n the
 Gay Capital and Fetches High Prics.

The Parislan has an amiabIe little weakness for the canary Every street echoes 10 the song of this noisy bird. and in the holiday time. when families are away. there are concierges whose more or less restri ted quarters are positively cumbered with cages Of canaries left in their charge by ab- sent tenants
 But in or out of the seasop the bird market is held every sInday in the year in the City Island and a lively trade in canarles is always done. The best song fers in the market come from an old house close by the market where lives an orBithologist who spends his life in teaching canaries to sing. and he has now. after some years Of effort. produced pure white canary with a song as powerful and sweet as any yellow or green bird ever sold
 The supply of the white canary be ing at present strictly limited. those that were sold las. Sunday fetched comparatively nigh prices. but they had all the houors Of tue day. and for the few hours that they adorned the stall they were the center of an ad- hiring and wondering crowd. There are plenty of canaries that are nearly white, but this bird is as white as a dove, without any speck of yellow on his plumage
 The Parisian has his own special way of transporting his canaries to the cage that awaits them at hls home. The bird is placed in small paper bag and pinned to the lapel Of his coat. Paris Correspondence London Stand ard.

TIP QUESTION IS SERIOUS
QrstuItles Of tho Season Give 6e- we're Jolt to Man of Small
 Income.

This tip business" said a man of smail income. has come to be se- rious matter
 Every summer I send my wife and daughter 10 the country, to a modest hotel in quiet place-does them good and doesn't cost us much more than 1t would to have them stay home, or didn't use to.
 Years ago We gave some small tips, a little to the waitress and a little to the chambermaid, amounts not great. but now We have to give more to them and we have to give also to the chef and to the housekeeper and so on. something to everybody that does something for us It seems to be the custom. and it all counts up.
 This year. for instance. 1 sent the folks along weekly the little check for their board and their other moderate expenses-and they are always careful about those-and everything is going along very pleasantly and 1 see us set ting the financial problem very nice ly, and then week or two before they are coming home we put down little memorandum of the tips to give when they come away, and do you know that this year these amounted to s30.
 Thirty dollars; and that gives me just as 1t does every year-quite a little jolt. l know it's coming. but I never realize 1t till 1t comes.
 You know what Lincoln said about paying bills? that 1t was easier to pay a big bill If you had the money than little bill If you hadn't, and that sum up on the tips hits us in something that way. We pay 'em, but 1t does sort of put the kibosh on our nice little financial schedule.

MAKING RAIN WITH ROCKETS
Experiments Tried With Considerable Success on a Coffee Plantation In
 Southern India.

Experiments made to ascertain whether the discharge of explosives during cloudy weather produces rain .fan are described in 8 letter from James stales.
 Some years ago." he says. "an ex- pertinent was tried in the Cuddapah dlstrict of southern India with con siderable success. i am part owner of an estate in the Seramuily hills. which Is situated in S particularly dry zone For several seasons poor coffee crops pithered away from lack of rain during July and August
 When I vas visiting the estate Tn July, 1905, I noticed that heavy clouds gathered every afternoon and thought that if we had been in a position so fire explosive rockets from the highest peak of the hills. about A ,500 feet. a shower Of rain might hare been produced.
 eg therefore arranged to have a supply of rockets kept on the estate and fired of every afternoon at the rate Of one rocket every five minutes. but only when the condition Of tho atmosphere was such that heavy rain threatened on all sides
 Whether rain has fallen in re- sponse 10 these explosives or not the fact remains that ever since we first tried the experiment we have been fortunate enough to catch sufficient moisture to enable the crops to sur yiye the drought"
 Firing into the clouds with the ob- 5ect Of causing rain was practiced for several years in southern Germany, Switzerland and France, but seems to have been abandoned some time ago. The idea was to protect the vineyards and other cultivations from damage by hailstones. it being thought that by the discharge of large guns rain would fall and that the danger from hailstorms would be ayerted.-London Daily Mail.
