About Pictures.

Pictures are often neglected and al
lowed to get dull and faded from want
of little attention. If they be en-
cravings or water colors, as soon as
any deposit of dust is seen to have
worked itself through the frame the
picture should be carefully taken out
and cleaned by crumbling piece Of
soft bread and rubbing it over the
surface of the picture. This will re-
move all dust and any other mark that
has been made on the print
Oil = paintings should be carefully
sponged with cold water and polished
with a soft silk cloth.
Valuable oils should be protected
with glass. This has all the good eff
feet of varnish without any of its dis
advantages.
When choosing pictures, If you have
no artistic sense, have some artistic
friend or an artist go with you to
buy. Also follow this rule when hang
ing the paintings. 1t will pay in the
end, for pictures carelessly arranged.
will mar the beauty of an otherwise
handsomely furnished room.

Monkey chastisement.

Monkeys do such an astonishing
amount of reasoning, sometimes. that
it almost frightens us into believing
that Darwin was right after all. A
short time ago a child, contrary to all
orders, put several peppermint drops
inside the wire of a monkey cage, in
a circus. One of the monkeys sam.
pied one and liked it immensely. but,
thinking that another treat was in
store at the end Of the cage. left the
remaining peppermints unprotected
for a brief moment. No sooner was
his back turned than a mischievous
little monkey made way with the can
dies, and on the owners return not a
peppermint was in sight. The older
monkey gravely considered the situa-
ton for a few moments, thea called
the little monkey to him. tested his
breath, ard spanked him for dear

1t Was in Philadelphia and Its Walls
Are Only Now Crumbling Into
Dust,

There is an echo of the past called
up by the falling of the walls of an
abandoned distillery on South street.
These walls once inclosed the first
theater that was erected in the United
States. 1t was burned out soma years
later, but the walls have remained to
this day.
If surprise be noted over the loca-
ton Of the theater, 1t is only neces-
sary to point out that in the middle Of
the eighteenth century the moral and
civic spirit Of the day prevented the
PROCLAMATION Of the city by any such
Institution, so 1t was erected outside
known as Southwark. OF TIE troub-
lous history of this artistic enterprise
much has been written. 1t Is unfortu-
nate that records of the dramas given
are not complete and that we have
few contemporary criticisms from I'M
biased pens upon the artistic worth
Of the thespian representations. 1t Is
Of record that the city authorities
were much shocked, that much Of So
ciety with large s. frowned on the
institution, and that rogues and vaga-
bonds were under the ban for long
time.
But even In that day there were
those who found pleasure and profit
in attending the theater. A few years
later George Washington was Of those
who patronized the enterprise At
that day the name of Washington
might have stood against the world,
azd many young men at least consid-
sYed that it would do them no harm to
follow their leader to the theater.
If we can believe what evidence Is
available, dramatic managers in those
days had some Illumination and in
spiration, as well as being mere pur.
veyors of entertainment. The supply
of plays was meager and not OF high
class, according to modern standards.
The theater was i'll appointed and
poorly lighted. But the actors and ac-
tresses seemed to have had some
spark of divine afflatus, for they re-
ceived Communications from foreign
visitors who, had seen the best the
world afforded.
The dawn of the American drama
cast a feeble light, but we may now
catch few glintings of it as Its first
home in America tumbles into dust
