to be first class impersonator and took
off Micheal Flynn to projection. Rhoda
Harvey, as Mrs. Easyman, adapted her
self with much grace to the role of a
young matron. Mabel Peterson, as the
aunt. could not have been excelled in
makeup and manner. Esther Shaw, the
demure maiden, who acted as peace
maker for the household was very pleas
ing. Martha Conmy, as Desdemona the
actress, showed marked ability in the
role of Shakespeareian star.

CHEMICALS IN WOOD.
Why Timber Cut In Winter Is Better
Than That Cut In Summer.

Why Timber Cut In Winter Is Better
Than That Cut In Summer.
Timber cut in spring aud in summer
is not so durable as that cut in winter.
The durability depends not only upon
the greater or less density, but also
upon the presence Of certain chemical
constituents in the wood.
Thus a large proportion Of resinous
matter increases the durability, while
the presence of easily soluble carbohy-
drates diminishes it considerably.
During the growing season the wood
of trees contains sulphurtc acid and
potassium, both of which are solvents
of carbohydrates, starch, resins and
gums They are known to soften also
the ligneous tissue to a considerable
degree.
During the summer months the wood
Of living trees contains eight times as
much sulphuric acid and FIVE times as
much potassium as it does during the
winter months. The presence of these
two chemical substances during the
growing season constitutes the chief
factor in dissolving the natural preserv
atives within the wood and in prepar-
ing the wood for the different kinds
of wood destroying fungi.-ScientifiC

SEVRES PORCELAIN.
An Artistic Flower Group That De-
csivsd French King.

An Artistic Flower Group That De-
ceivsd French King.
The manufacture of Sevres ware is
one of the oldest and most character
isic arts OF the French. The Seyres
potteries have long been under the di-
rect control and patronage of the gov
eminent and are in receipt of an an
nual subsidy.
A royal porcelain factory was first
established at Vincennes in 1745 under
Louis XIV. and produced many notable
pieces Of ware. particularly bouquets.
On one occasion. II is related, his mai
esty was the victim of practical joke.
One OF the exceedingly lifelike bou-
quets having been placed in his green
house by Nine. de Pompadour, the
king on his next visit to the place
stopped ard in all good faith attempted
to smell the rare exotic.
The factory was transferred from
Yfncennes to Sevres in 1856, since
which date il has sent forth works of
almost inestimable value. Porcelain
pastes, cOlored by metallic oxides, are
now compounded there which resist the
action Of the most fiery furnace. and
the enamels and glaZes have a marvel
Gus transparency and luster. Almost
every tint which can be impaired to
porcelain is here - white, turquoise
blue, all the greens. the delicate rose
pink which has received the name Of
Du Barry and even scarlet, one of
the most difficult colors to retain under
the intense heat Of the baking fur
naces.
I Sevres porcelain has always been
an expensive production, for the most
skilled artists have been employed In
I it's manufacture Formerly the finest
( pieces were made solely for royalty
/ and were sold only by royal permission.
The prices paid in modern times for
some Of these specimens have steadily
( increased until they have become star

All concert pianists are subject TO
split finger tips. The constant stroke
OF the balls Of the fingers on the hard
ivory makes the flesh so delicate and
tender that Frequently playing becomes
acute agony.
VIolinists suffer great deal Of phys
ical Inconvenience. Most Of US have
an idea that the violin is held against
the neck and shoulder by the players
left hand. which grasps the arm of the
instrument. All great violin teachers
insist that the left hand be left en-
tirely free. and to achieve this the vio-
lin is actually held by the players
chin. In this attitude his head is held
in a distorted position, ans this, work

Performers on wind instruments suf-

ysis from continued use Of the tongue
and lips is an ever present danger.
Doctors have fearsome name for the
commonest result of wind playing. In
plain language it is overdistention OF

from constantly heavy imitation leads

Mental peculiarities Of oboe players
/ are traditional in the orchestral world.
in spite OF the fact that most oboe
players are normal. Some explain that
the oboe player is mentally affected by
the fact that he is forced to blow
through an exceedingly small aperture
and the expiration is unusually pro-
longed. Others insist that the peculiar
ly melancholy quality OF the tone pro-
duced and the invariable character Of
the music written for the oboe are re-
sponsible for any peculiarities display
ed by it's eXecutants.
After this somewhat grewsOme re-
cital it is cheering to know that one
instrument at least can be counted on
to bring health and longevity TO those
who practice it. This is the flute. Doc
tors recommend it for incipient con
sumptiyes. as the operation Of playing
the instrument involves the precise

HIDDEN TREASURE.
An Ancient Church That Is Said to
Guard a Precious Secret.

An Ancient Church That Is Said to
Guard a Precious Secret.
A small building popularity known as
.aThe Church of Hidden Treasure"
stands in the little town of Barelas,
n. N. During the Mexican war many
of the richest families in the neighbor-
hood hid their gold and Valuables In
all sorts OF curious places.
Senior Sandoval, a very rich landown-
er. chose the thick walls of the village
church as his treasure vault. accord
ing to a writer in the Wide World. and
tradition says that the precious hoard
has never been removed.
Only a few years ago several groups
of men. armed with pickaxes. crowbars
and other implements. besieged the
place in search of the fabulous wealth
said to be concealed somewhere on the
premises. The treasure is believed to
be contained in a large wooden chest,
such as most of the wealthy Mexicans
formerly possessed. 1t is claimed that
the box contained thousands Of dollars
in gold. besides emeraids, diamonds
and pearls. set in pure native gold.
The SandoEal family. however, guard
the place most carefully, while they in
turn are jealousy watched to see that
they do not disturb the church prop
erty. Bold and daring plans are some
times laid, but nothing seems to come
of them. and the ancient building still
guards its precious secret.
