AT THE AUDITORIUM. Entire Change of Programme Today Three New Acts and Pictures.

Tho Auditorium has shown over 5000 vaudeville acts in the past four seasons, and very seldom is the same act seen twice, so if you want to see something new the Auditorium is the place.

If you can sit through this act without a smile the best thing for you to do is to go out to graveyard and laugh at some of the jokes on'the tonbStones.
 Bessie and her famous cockatoos will demonstrate to what & degree of efficiency these intelligent birds may be trained. This act in conjunction with the great Snow White fairy tale pie ture will make up a great treat for the children.
 The third position on the bill is f11l- ed by Rube Howe, a comica1 comedian who will amuse with his quaint Ruoe philosophy.
 A special feature for today only is A Frontier Mystery, a great 1o1-Bison two-ree3 masterpiece. which is a west ern film out of the ordinary The fight between hundreds of Indians and pio- neerS is . thriller.

A resident of Washington street re- ceived from relative in Illinois re- gently an account of a clock said by astronomers to be the most com plete and really wonderful clock in the world. Tt has been running now without winding for two years and a half," she writes. When leap year came it marked February with the 29th day, but this year moved at 12 o'clock February 2s to March 1. It stands eight or nine feet high in a hand carved case of beautiful woods, there is also carving of ivory The signs of the zodiac are in brass cut and hammered by the maker. The moon shines upon the disk. The sea- sons are marked.
 One can tell the time of day in any important city in the world to a sec ond. There were twenty of us to see it and the maker. just like a man stepped out of one of Dickens works, is so much part of it, and this clock is alrnsst like d child to him. He asks of the city if they buy it to permit him to care for it as long as he lives.

HELPLESS IN SNAKES COILS
ened Death From Reptiles
Rolls in Fire.

George Ensor, a business man OF
this city, while fishing near Mountain
dale, a Piedmont, w. Va, dispatch to
the New York Herald states, was at
tackled by snakes, which came from
a rotten log on which he was sitting,
and before he could beat them off the
reptiles had entwined themselves
about him, hpding his arms, hands
and feet. The snakes, more than a
dozen in number, measured from four
to six feet in length.
Mr.. Ensor, after vainly endeavoring
to work his arms and feet loose, had
the presence of mind to roll down a
hill into a fire he had built to COO
his breakfast. His clothes caught fire
and the snakes, scorched and sizzling,
untwined from his body and made for
the old log. Mr.. Ensor ran to the
stream and threw himself into tho wa
ter, extinguishing his burning clothes.
His body, arms and face we're severe
" burned, but he managed to make
his way to Mountaindale. where physi-
clans say he has a chance for recov'
cry.

Pain of Wounds.

There is a great deal of misappre-
hension as to the intensity of the pain
caused by the entrance into the hui
man body of various objects. Many
persons fancy that if a man is shot at
all he must therefore suffer intensely.
The reverse is true. A slight wound,
a mere abrasion of the skin, is some
times far more painful than a wound
caused by the entrance of a bullet di-
rectly into the muscles or even into
a bone. The skin is filled with nerves
and when any of them are torn by
the ball the pain is extreme. If the
bullet plunges directly through the
skin into the body the only nerves
disturbed are those in the compare
lively small space the bullet strikes.
Since there are few nerves in the
muscles, the nerves of the skin con-
vey the sensation of pain to the brain.
In the same way the greater portion
of the pain experienced in the ampu-
tation of an arm or leg IS occasioned
when the skin is cut, and the subse-
quent cutting of the muscles and the
saving of the bone, in which all the
pain is popularity supposed to be cen
tered, amount to little in comparison,

PeriIs of the Late Afternoon.

Late in the afternoon is the peril
ous hour for all day workers. Not
only do statistics prove it, but there
is an easily Understandable physiolog-
ical explanation for it. For it is to-
ward the end of the days work that
fatigue comes on, and tired bodies
and bfarns inevitably lead to mistakes
and accidents.
Bank CLERKS" says the Medical
Record, make most of the errors in
the late afternoon: wherefore there is
now early closing of these institu-
tions, since bankers have found their
employees mistakes too expensive for
the maintenance of longer hours. Ev-
cry one knows what dreadful calamity
must be feared when railway men
work too many hours through many
days. AS to druggists, to err with
perhaps fatal consequences) in the
filling of a prescription is indeed hui
man and hardly b~lameworthy in a
clerk who must be attentively at his
post almost two-thirds of the twenty
four hours. Among industrial work
ers the desire for drink has often
sprung from sheer physical exhaus-
ton"

Gay Dogs, These Firemen.

Il was playing in a small town one
night" said an actor, when about
two-thirds of the male portion of our
audience-at least six or eight men
made a united and hurried exit from
the hall. Fears of a panic were al
layed by the knowledge that in case of
fire the remainder of our audience
could be moved almost literally in a
body. 1t was a fire that caused the
sudden exodus. about a block away
from the theater, but that it was not
more attractive than u show vas
proved by the quick return of those
men. They were members of the vol
unteer fire brigade, and, having an
swered the call of duty, sized up the
blazing building, pronounced it too
big for their modest fire engine to
cope with, and hurried back to the
theater to calmly continue to enjoy
the evenings entertainment. Fires
in that town, I learned, as On our
way home we stopped to watch the
still busy flames, were only extin-
guished if caught very young"
