Seven Days. y

Seven Days. the hilarious farce which
has record OF years run on Broad
way and year In Chicago, will follow
Madame X" at Polls next week, when
the Poll Players will revert to the realm
of smiles in contrast to this weeks Of
fering of tears. tf -
Seven Days has a unique plot, based
upon the comical situations which result
from the -quarantining of fourteen as
sorted personalities in one household.
There is a divorced man and his Reno
wife, bogus wife, prudish aunt. a
burglar, q policeman. two pairs of lovers
and a heterogeneous conglomeration Of
friends and enemies. The household is
quarantined because a butler is supposed
to have had smallpox. How the ,prudish
and wealthy aunt reorganizes the home
and distributes the labors among those
least adapted to the burdens constitutes
one of the most amusing stage stories of
the day.
Seven Days requires elaborate stage
settings. the last act being a particularly
attractive arrangement of a roof garden,
with the misty housetops in the distance.
II is from the roof that the burglar
finally makes his escape by sliding down
the chimney.

Always one of the company's best ten
ors. Mr. Battain's voice seems even better
than last year. a gain being noted In
power and dramatic force. His singing
last evening. especially of the beautiful
Celeste Aida" was one of the treats OF
the season.
Jane Herbert in the role of Amnerls.
proved a genuine surprise. Her voice IS
a rich beautiful contralto, melodious ana
softer passages and intensely DRAMATIC In
the heavier parts of the score. MISS Her
bert is no less an artist in the dramatic
sense, and her Amneris was easily en-
titled to share the honors of the evening
with Battain.
Miss Kristoffy in the title role seemed
at times brilliant in her vocal effects ana
in the softer solo passages her voice was
unusually sympathetic and sweet. Her
dramatic portrayal OF the hapiess Esyp
tian maid was faultless, but was not
helped by her costume, which seemed
rather that of an Indian woman than OF
an Egyptian.
America Vinaccia, the conductor, was
again forced to bow his acknowledgment
of applause for the orchestral work, put
the chorus seemed weaker than usual.

EFFECT OF GRASS 0'l TREES
Experiments Made in England Seem to Have GI7oWn That It Is
 Injurious.

At the Woburn experimental fruit farm 9 long inquiry has ben conduct cd into the effect of grass on trees, and the experiments which have been carried out form the substance of the thirteenth report of the farm, which has just been issued.
 It has been shown that the general result of grassing the ground, either by sowing seed or replacing the turf after the trees have been planted, is the arrestation of all healthy growth and the absolute stunting of the tree.
 A light and unhealthy character i'm parted to the leaves is one of the first noticeable results of the action of grass upon trees. With trees that are feeling the full effect of grass the fruits are found to be small and ill developed.
 The varo,tions in soil temperature are less when the ground is grassed and this alone would be favorable to the growth of trees; but this good in fluence is outweighed by the dele. terious effects.-London Daily Mail.
