The newest of all European countries Is
far and away the tiniest. Its name Is
Mount Athos. and it only came into ex-
stence week or two ago, when the
ambassadors of the powers decided that,
however else the Balkan question is set
tied. Mount Athos is to be an Independent
holy republic.
1t is a mountain twice as high as Ben
Nevis. near Salonika, and is certainly
unique among the countries of Europe in
the fact that no woman has set foot in
1t for five centuries When, some years
ago the Queen of Roumania announced
her intention of visiting 1t, the rulers of
the holy mountain threatened to commit
suicide if she persisted.
Thenew republic, which has little sea
coast of its own, holds another record.
1t is the only state in Europe whose ma
tional income is obtained solely by sell
ing crucifixes, rosaries amulets, and SIM
liar holy objects. AS Mount Athos con-
tains 21 monasteries, the export is quite
large one.

SOME GOSSIP OF THE
THEATRICAL WORLD
BY PAUL COOK

the stage in constantly varying cos
tunes, extravagantly rich in colors
that tax the eye, and comedians who
can be depended on to make the best
of funny situation, is bound to appeal
almost irresistibly to most of US.
Such a show-and "show" is the right
name for it-gives US glimpses of a
world far removed from our prosaic
everyday existence and the duties that
are often wearisome more for their
unbroken monotony than for the labor
they involve. Nowadays when play
wrights are concerned with so many
"problems," some of them purely
imaginary, many of the dramas put
on the stage are not the sort to at
tract a squeamish person, with their
so-called exposition of TRUTH and
some are actually offensive. 1t is
not to be wondered at when the "aver-
age theatregoer" prefers an evening
of happy-go-lu entertainment to a
strained consideration of domestic
complications, or the battle a poor
"gell" has to fight who marries rich
man, the wickedness of some women,
the extravaganza of others and often
times matters that might more prom
erly engage the attention of tract
society. Many of these plays are
written and most of them
contain enough human nature to make
them interesting, but they don't last
more than a few seasons and they are

strikingly brought forward and the
action of the play revolves around the
weakness of all mankind-a story OF
the conflict of the sexes, as old as the
world itself
Mr.. whiteside has apparently select
ed his company with great care and
provided a scenic setting of beauty and
solidity. Miss Florence Fisher is his
leading woman and while one OF the
youngest upon the stage, she has scored
heavily in the trying and complex
character of Illona, "the woman" in the
play.

Confirmed for Rheumatism

From Tit Bits.
The Rev. Joshua Kimber, in his ''Remin-
iscences,' tells the following anecdote OF
the late Bishop Horatio Potter:
He had been journeying up the east
bank of the Hudson river, stopping for
&C firmaton each day at adjoining par
ishes. When he reached Poughkeepsie
he saw a woman at the rail waiting for
confirmation whose face he was sure he
recognized and was somewhat familiar
with. He was also certain that she had
been confirmed within the week at an
other place. The bishop whispered to
her to remain after service and said:
my dear madam, what do you mean by
coming for confirmation? | am sure
confirmed you on Monday at such place.
Did l not?''
She said: You certainly did. / have
been following you up the river and have
been confirmed every day this week.
He, astonished, said Why did you do
that?''
Whereupon she replied: Because

DAVE LEWIS IN DON'T
LIE TO YOUR WIFE"
Rollicking Farce Comedy Is This
Weeks Attraction at the
BijOu Theatre

Don't Lie to Your Wife" by Camp
bell B. Casad; which comes to the
Bijou this week, was last seasons
laughing success. The piece swings
back and forth between comedy and
farce and its pendulum-like motion
causes a great deal of merriment.
The vehicle serves to introduce Dave
Lewis, an agreeable fun maker and he
is mainly responsible for the comedy
of the piece.
The play is a triangle farce: there
are three gay boys, two married and
one engaged; all three of the feminine
members are away at the same time
and all three of the males interested
arrive at the same conclusion-they will
have jolly time while the women are
away.
Down to Coney Island go the male
trio and there three chorus girls are
added to the mixup. Corks are released
and so are exuberant spirits; automo-
biles at 60 miles an hour bring them
in contact with the police and besides
the girls have a press agent who is
abnormally active and he Is always on
the job harassing the poor unfortu-
mates after their nights escapade, ever
anxious to get publicity for the Folly
theatre
When the reaction comes and Dop-
pelade and his two boon companions
are beginning to regret, the home and
fireside divinities appear just as
Amos in tones of remorse exclaims;
'Nevermore"
Then begins battle to ward off
the suspicious of the trusting wives
and sweetheart
There are numerous specialties and
musical numbers introduced. 1t is
claimed that the scenic equipment is
splendid and the ladies' gowns will
create envy in feminine minds.
There are natinees Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday, and performances
nightly.

4 \ sons most pronounced musical
comedy successes, is just the kind of
show the now celebrated and catered
to ''tired business man" has been look
ing for. 1t is joyous piece, merry,
tuneful and pictorially beautiful. The
fact that the music was composed and
the libretto written by Messrs. McLel-
Ian and Caryll, who are responsible
for 1.-THE Pink Lady," speaks well for
the pleasing qualities of "Oh! Oh!
Delphine." The title itself was
happy thought and the piece has been
remarkably popular at the New Am
sterdam theatre. Alas, southern
theatregoers will have to wait until
next season before seeing ooh! Oh!

laughs and its lasses. People in "en-

NEW PLAN ADOPTED
Department Of Agriculture Re-
vises System Of Publications.
More Popular and Practical; Matter
for Scientists to Be Circulated
only Through the Journal Of
Research.

Washington.-The secretary OF agri
culture announced the other day the
new plan of publication work of that
department. There has been an indie
pendent series of bulletins and circu.
lars In each of the 10 publishing bu-
reaus, divisions and offices of the de-
partment These have been discontin-
ued and will be superseded by the
Journal of Research for printing scien-
tific and technical matter, and by de-
partmental series of bulletins. written
in popular language for selected and
general distribution. BY this plan the
confusion that has resulted from the
multiplicity of series of publications
will be avoided, and the saving of a
considerable sum will annually be eff
fected.
Under the new plan the department
will discontinue the general distribu-
ton of matter so scientific or techni-
cal as to be of little or no use to the
lay reader. 1t will supply technical in
formation only to those directly in
terested and capable Of using scientific
analyses, and Of understanding the re-
suits of research work couched in
scientific terms. A larger amount of
information in popular form which the
average reader can Immediately apply
to his own direct advantage, and there
by increase the agricultural produc-
tiveness and the health of the nation,
will hereafter be distributed.
The highly scientific matter hereto
fore published Unfortunately in bull
letins and circulars will hereafter be
published only in the newly estab-
lished Journal of Research, which will
be issued about once a month. 1t will
be royal octave, of the scientific maya
zine type, from rs to 100 pages, IL
numbers to constitute a volume. Such
of the matter in the Journal as seems
to merit additional circulation may be
issued in the form of reprints or sepa-
rates. The Journal, for the present at
least, will be limited to the publication
of the results of research made by the

but it may be extended to include the
scientific research work of the state
agricultural experiment stations, in
which event two editors representing
these stations will be added to the
editorial committee. Extensive scien-
tinc articles, embodying a complete re-
port of research investigations, will
be considered as monographs, and may
be published as supplements to the
Journal.
Permission will be given to special
lists to publish technical reports or
even monographs in journals of scien-
tific societies or technical magazines
specializing in highly restricted field
of scientific endeavor,
The Journal will be distributed free
to agricultural colleges, technical
schools, experiment stations, libraries
of large universities, and certain gov
eminent repositories and institutions
making suitable exchanges; also to a

ent of documents. government printing

The Monthly Crop Reporter will no

The series OF farmers bulldtins will

letins is to tell the people how to do
important things The bulletins viii
contain practical, concise and specific
and constructional statements with re-
gard to matters relating to farming,
stock raising, fruit growing, etc. I'm
der the new plan the bulletins will be
reduced in size to from Is to 20 pages,
and will deal particularly with condi-
tons In restricted sections, rather
than attempt, as heretofore, to cover
the entire country.
Much Of the information calling for
immediate circulation will be issued
hereafter In the form of statements to
the press instead of being held back
as heretofore for weeks until a bulle-
tin could be printed and issued.
The publication of bulletins dealing
with foreign crop statistics will be dis
continued. Material of this character
when deemed important will be fur
nished to the press for the information
of the public.
Consideration is being given to the
discontinuance of certain annual re-
ports of bureaus now required by law
to be printed, with the belief that
much of the matter therein contained
is unnecessary, while certain portions
could be more advantageously and
more promptly printed as bulletins of
the department. All executive reports
of chiefs are to be reduced with the OBJ
ject of combining them to business re-
ports strictly.
