Composite Creations.

The one great end attained by E,
Milton Royle in his play 1.-THE Souaw
Man. which comes to the |. o. o. F,
opera house in the bringing forward of
a new creation in the dramatic world.
This is accomplished but rarely by the
greatest artists and is the constant aim
OF every sincere histrionic. "Taby-
wanna" is one of those happy ccm.
posite creations which strike a chord
harmonizing with the universal heart.
The pleasant environment and the ex-
quisite natural dramatic treatment
found in 1.-The Squaw Man" make the
character of "Tabywana'' the Ute
Chief, stand out like a mosaic in the
hasds OF Mr.. Clarence Bennett. The
performance put forward in uThe

both the casual play goer and the one
who wishes to go deeper into the story
of the passions of life. The environment
is such that one finds ceaseless attrac-

the solder, the cowboy, the Indian.
and the woman, one after another
occupy the principle place. Having

could not only preserve all virtues

who would, each by contrast to the
other carry the central idea and make

OF Interest to the Children
SKILL OF HINDU JUGGLER.

Indian Fakir Performs Marvellous
Stunts on Bamboo Rod.
The Hindu jugglers and acrobats
are the most skillful in the world, and
we are always hearing new stories Of
them.
One Of the latest stories is about
performer who went through many
wonderful feats perched on top Of a
single bamboo stick about fifteen feet
in height. The top of the stick was
tied to a girdle around his waist, and
leg rest was provided. by cushion
few feet down the pole.
Perched on this slender stick, he
hoped and danced around in the live
Hest way, accompanied by the tapping
Of a drum.
1t would be considered .skillful
feat to walk about with ease on pair
of stills fifteen feet in height, but this
Hindu showed marvellous power of
equilibrium on single stick. He did
other things even more wonderful.
For example, he balanced light
stick on his nose and heavy one on
his chin and then threw the heavy one
into the air with his head and caught
1t on the end Of the light one. While
balancing the two sticks thus, end on
end. he made one revolve in one direc-
ion and the other in another direc-
ton.

The seer had been young woman
whose brunette beauty seemed to sus-

DOG FARMS IN MONGOLIA.
Skins of CANNES Raised For Purpose
Usej In Doormats.

Z. !
Sixty-tive thousand black New
chwang mats" was an item in All auc-
tloneers catalogue ut Il sale the other
day. They were all sold. and their sale
spelled the end of all things for CORE
sspondlngly large number of dogs. New
chwang mats. in fact, are nothing more
than mats made from the skins of dogs
specially reared in China for you to
wipe your feet on, says Pearson's.
Real skins and real furs are becom-
ing so scarce thata huge trade is grow
ing up in supplying imitation ones for
the market. When you are buying a
Newchwang mat you are told that it
is new variety of bearslSin. The sim
pie fact is that genuine skins are be-
coming more difficult to get and sub
stitutes must be found.
There are hundreds of farms special
~ devoted to dog raising in Mongolia.
Most of the dogs are killed when only
year old, and their skins sent by
thousands all over the world.
Cats have not yet been cultivated for
the market. though wildcat" pussy
farm was put forward short while
ago in which the promoter suggested
feeding the cats on rats and the rats
on the bodies Of the cats after they had
been skinned, thus making the scheme
self supporting. Needless to say, it is
not working.
In Germany. however, the house
hold cat Is looked upon as distinct
asset in case the family fortunes are
not furnishing. There are dealers there
always willing to pay for catskins, the
very commonest tabby skin fetching a
shilling. These catskins make excel
lent rugs, pure Maltese or tortoise shell
fetching high prices. Many of them
are dyed and used as the lining for
winter Noaks.

WATERING THE PLANTS.
Things Worth Remembering In Order
to Insure Best Results.


to Insure Best Results.
Watering is the most important fac
tor in plant growth. Plants can en-
dure great extremes in temperature
where corresponding extremes in mois-
ture would kill them. Water should
be given only when needed and then
in such quantities that the soil will be
soaked.
Always consider the kind of plants
you are watering. Soft stemmed ones,
especially those with large leaves, need
much more water than hard wooded,
slow growing kinds. While the for
mer easily recover from drought. the
latter usually suffer permanent injury
from extremes.
The character of the soil is impor-
tant. Heavy clay soils easily sour,
while very light, loamy soils dry out
quickly and unless carefully watched
the plants will soon wilt In either
case it is better to water thoroughly
when needed than to water sparingly
and more often.
Plants not in active growth should
be watered sparingly until they have
regained their foliage. Watering in
the evening just before dark will great
ly encourage the growth of fungous
diseases.
Midday watering when the sun
shines on the foliage will burn the
foliage Of many of our common house
plants. Shading during excessive heat
will strengthen plants and help them
to retain moisture, = Brooklyn Eagle.

exception of the bath robe, which all

wide latitude without the danger of

bargain prices can be converted into
beautiful creations with the assistance

When making negligees the seams.
whether Of silk, cotton or wooden
goods, are all made with the French
fell. except when using very heavy
materials, such as are employed for
bath robes. The seams of such goods
are finished with flat fell or they are
pressed open and the edge bound with
narrow strip OF sheer lawn or silk

Banding is popular finish for the
neck, front and sleeves Of llimonos and
is usually cut from a contrasting mate

are completed before they are sewed
