HISTORIC FIRST NIGHTS.
Ped Letter Events In the Dramatic
History of France.


Perhaps the most striking events In
hc artistic history Of France have
non the first performances Of some
ne great French plays. In few
srS also these occasions have mark
the beginning Of new epochs In the
'Gl history Of the country, so close
lac connection between the social
..nlopment Of the people and It's ex-
.tlOn on the stage. Unless I am
.s'akcn, there have been but six un-
r~ottablc first nights since theaters
rrc established In Paris.
1'hp first occurred In 1857, when Cor
7cillo's "Cld'' took the capital by storm.
'yuy years later Racine's "Androm-
ache" created similar sensation.
ON the eve OF the revolution, In 1884,
Ecaumarchals' Marriage Of Figaro"
WAS received with such delirfous en-
thusiasm that three people were sti-
fed in the rush for seats. In 1880
Victor Hugo. In spite OF the determln-
cd opposition OF large body Of reac-
tionaries, set all Paris In an uproar
with his "IIernai"
These names should be borne In
mind: Corneille, Racine, Beaumarchais
I'd Victor Hugo. Three Of them at
least have no superlOrs In the history
IF French literature. Each has one
"ma2ing dramatic triumph TO his cred
H. The other two Of the six great
first nights were the 2Sth Of Decem-
Der, 1891 and the 7th Of February,
1910. The occasions were respective
ly the performances OF "Cyrano de
Bcrgcrac" and "Chantecler," both by
Edmond ROstand. - Cincinnati Com

PICTURESQUE M0ORS.
They Range In Color From Black to
CaucSsian Fairness.

Imagine tSn. tall, bearded, clean
cut individual, black hair and eyes,
his complexion ranging In color from
that Of the negro to Caucasian fair
ness, clothed I'm richly embroidered
uudcrgarmcnts, over which gracefully
fall the folds of n finely woven halk
or icllaba, his stocklnged feet showed
into yellow slippers, on his shaved
head n red feZ, about which IS wound
n spotlcss white turban-and you have
type OF the town Moroccan-the
Moor.
The coarse brown Jellaba Of camels
or goats hair, sometimes handed
down through several generations; oc-
CGSiOnally sandals and a small, tight
fitting woolcn cap make up the cos
tune Of the cOuntryman, although one
finds him Oftener barefoot and bare
headed, head shaved save for the lit
tie cue which characterizes the Berber
and Kabylc. who believe that at the
last day this will be used as sort OF
handle with which they will be hauled
up TO heaven.
He is often n nomadic trader and
arranges his journey so rs to be at
the town on certain market days, and
at these times one may see these men,
with their goods on heavy draft cam
els or overloaded donkeys, steadily
trudglng their way over the rough
caravan trails. They earn their bare
existence, indeed which may be
swept away in a moment by noun
tain brigands or the town robbers,
who often sit in high places.-Charles
w. Furong in Outing Magazine.

By unanimous action the Interna- tional Bible Students Association at Washington last week adopted reso- lution unreservedly repudiating as thoroughly un. seriptural the teaching of place. state tor condition of "hell fire and birthstone for theltorment Of the wicked.
 Al the same time the four thousand delegates in the convention resolved that the vast majority of ministers Of all Protestant denominations of the United States had privately repudia. ted the 'helltiren theory, but for sup posedly good reasons had hesitated to fully to inform their congregations. It was the sense of the convention that on this account thousands, and per- haps tens of thousands, were being driven into skeptieism or inhdelity.
 The convention appealed 10 every minister in the United States to pub lish in his local newspaper over his signature a statement declaring wheth- erihe believed the Bible taught the doctrine of a literal "hell fire, and ev- cry newspaper editor was requested to invite the ministers of his locality 10 avail themselves of his columns for that purpose.
 The ehell fire question was brought up by Brigadier General William r. Hall, r. =. A., who requested the as- sociatlon to repadiate the doctrine. There was an animated discussion be- fore the resolution, presented by Dr. l.. F. Smith, of Louisville, was adopt ed

FOR THE LOVER OF FLOWERS
Sweet Peas, to Secure Best Results,
Should Be Planted Early in
Trenches Six Inches Deep.
CBy JOSEPHINE DE MARI

IBy DE MARI
Plant the sweet peas early in
trenches fully six inches deep, cover
ing but lightly at first, drawing the
soil around the plants as they reach
up.
This will give better roots by which
to withstand the dry heat bye and
bye. Plant as oon as possible.
Root room in fair soil is all the
beautiful white day lily asks. 1t is
perfectly hardy, likes moist situations,
but will do with little water. A plant
for the busy housewife.
Chrysanthemums may be raised
from seeds, or from cuttings and
sprouts from old roots. If the seeds
are sown early in boxes and trans,
planted the plants will bloom the first
year. There may be many poor ones
from seed.
Do not forget the hardy everbloom,
ing roses when ordering. Include
some hardy Towering vines for screens
for the porches, back fences, and sum
mer arbors. Prairie roses, evergreen
honeysuckles, ~woodbines, clematis in
variety, w~isterias, bittersweet, trum'
pet vine, and the harmless wood ivies
are all fine.

The cut is made in the stock with
a sharp saw, then shaped with a knife.
The scion should be driven lightly in

ORTICUITURAL
iWQHNOTES&R

Prune the rose bushes You want
blossoms, not wood or leaves.
Prune Off all dead or weak branch
es. Thin out the tops to let the sun
in.
Keep the orchard Lind In good filth.
The trees can be set as soon as the
leaves fall.
Frequent applications of manure
water during the summer will keep
the plants blooming.
In planting young trees they should
be set about an inch deeper than they
were in the nursery.
Tobacco stems strewn on the
ground at the base Of rose plants will
help to keep away insects.
Nasturtiums and morning glories
should be planted wherever there is
anything to train them on.
Just as soon as frost Is out and the
ground dry enough 1t will be time to
set out the strawberry plants.
The ground for strawberries must
be dug over very deeply and as early
in the spring as 1t can be worked.
One of the most common mistakes
made in orchard planting Is that OF
setting the trees too close together.
Plant a cover crop in the orchard.
Rye, barley, wheat and oats are
good nonleguminous plants, but the
legumes are better.
The old, neglected orchard with It
dead trees and wormy apples is a bio
on the face of the earth. Trim. spya
cultivate and get big returns.
