Some PessimTs4io Statistics.

Estimating the worlds population as 1,5OO, ,oOO, ,OOO, the whole human race at present living could stand comforta bly, shoulder to shoulder in an area of 500 square miles.
 Taking the number of generations in the past 5000 years as POO, the room taken by them all on the above plan would only be half the size of Ger many, or less than the area of the state of Colorado To bury all the people on earth would require a graveyard a little larger than that area.
 If the dust left by each body be estf- mated at one-tenth of a cubic yard. which is a liberal estimate, it would cover only forty square miles to a depth of about three feet. This cer- tainly seems insignificant, it is pointed out, compared with the great coral reefs and other immense deposits built up by the shells of tiny mollusks.- Harper's Weekly.

PLAZA THEATRE
Poi Players give ssrhe Million in a Manner That Makes Everyone
 Feel Wealthy.

Life is just one laugh after another at the Plaza this week where the Po1i Players are presenting t-The Million. Don't misunderstood this. They are not giving away money, but are play ing a comedy called '"The Million, which was a hit in New York last year.
 It has a real plot, which Is rather unusual for comedies in these days. The production deals with the trials who are leading a Bohemian life in New York. Ramon Andrade, a sclup- tor, who Is one of the impecunious group, wins big prize in lottery, but he puts the ticket in his old blouse, which he hangs up while he goes out.
 During his absence a criminal hiding from the police creeps into the studio and a sympathetic friend of the sculp- tors gives him the blouse as a dis guise, not realizing what is in the pocket. After Ramon learns he has won the prize he; searches for the ticket and of course there is great ex- citement when he learns it has been given away. Then begins the hunt for the blouse which proves very anus ing.
 Paul McAl1ister, the popular lead ing man, is a scream in the role of Ramon. He assumes the devf1-may- care attitude which Is supposed to be characteristic of Bohenians and his m nannerisms provoke plenty of laugh ter Ralph J. Herbert as Lorimer Walsh, a medical student, played the part well and was good in the funny situations.
 The favorite Marguerite Starr ap- peared in the role of Pearl, 8 reformed crook She acted with her usual skill and was frequently applauded. Bren- da Fowler, the leading woman of the company, was fine in the part of Bea- trice Lind.
 She looked pretty and acted with vivacity in keeping with the Bohemian surroundings.
 Sig. Aramini. who played in the original company, was immense as Fredrico. DonateIli, an opera tenor. His gestures and dialect were received with loud laughter. His vocal se1ec- ton in the third act proved a treat.
 Marion Ht1tchins made a favorable impression as Francesca Roversi, model Llewel1yn Crossman, who had the leading role in 'tThe College Hero,'' was cast as policeman and he acted like a regular cop, too.
 Arthur Buchanan scored heavily as Frank Porter, alias sThe Baron,'' and Arthur. Griffin looked imposing in the part of a police inspector. Charles Burt gave a, realistic portrait of a re porter. Others in the cast played small roles satisfactorily.
 'tThe Million will turn they away this week and everybody who likes to laugh will like it.

ATTRACTIONS 1.-THE THEATRES
LYRIC THEATRE
Miss Cleveland Is Finely Cast i'm ..The
 Deserters."

At the Lyric theatre last night the Eleanor Cleveland company played t'sThe Deserters'' with a large cast. Grea1 enort was expended to make it's scenic and costume effect the best
 which has yet been put odl that stage and the direction may be said to have been superior. Miss Cleveland was seen in a diversity of characters which distinctly classes her as an actress of manifold qualities. Margaret Lewis was seen in form which recompensed for the efforts she has put forth in the past Robert Conness showed urnrnis- takab1y the power he has to both and attract. Guy Harrington was su- perb in heavy part and Wilson Humme1 was like old wine that tastes
 The DeserterS' is a four act play with prologue. This latter, though slightly too dark to be clearly discer- nible, was beautifully depicted. It was acting in it's depth and evoked just applause. Act 1 in Colonel Parsons office was contributory to the follow ing scenes and did not develope any startling dramatic talent.
 Act ?, a dance-hau scene, was prob ably the most effective and true to color ever staged at the Lyric Every character portrayed shone with that knowledge of the part which tingIed with reality and offers a criterion by which following productions may we'll be staged. Credit for the light thrown upon an otherwise prolonged drama should be accorded to these perform CTS in the order given: Lillian Field, Charles Jewett, Glen Andens, Edwin Evans, William BrlrnrneI1, Carrie Mc- Morrow, Gertrude Ross, Harrison Gibb, E. w. Graham, Edward Gaffney, James Reilly and William Cotter
 Act 8, a room in a San Francisco hotel where the two principals are given an opportunity to show that depth of emotional art which is the Keynote of the offering, was accepted in it's full meaning, and the Lyric pa irons were given an illustration of what it is to see the human soul dis sected. The love passages between the man and woman portrayed by Robert Conness and Miss Cleveland were all that the most ardent could wish and the disclosures and ultimate deliverance of the prisoners to the soldiers who came was immense.
 Act might have been cut to reduce many ong-drawn-olrt passages, espe- cia11y as interTn1nabIy long waits be- tween acts weighed heavily on the audience.
 The great army play that was seen last night offered one of the most en- tranoing vehicles to show Miss C1eve- lands mettle and 1t will do so for the balance of the week if there is a of some unnecessarily heightened passages. a substitution for the present Colonel Parsons and quicker shift of scenery.

A Marvellous Cure.

The part the imagination plays in causing and curing many of the Ills that flesh is heir to has never been so amusingly demonstrated as in the case of a Glasgow lady who suffers from severe nervous headaches. The only remedy she acknowledges is So-and- so's pills These always effect cure, she says. One evening recently she complained of a very bad attack. At her request the little white pill was brought with glass of water to 'sget it over.'' The effect was marvellous
 Within a few minutes the patient de clared she felt better, and within half an hour the headache was gone. I'm agtne the lady's surprise and the house

4ke Pleasures of obscdFfty. P

It is apparent from this anecdote. printed in the New York Sun, that a story, although 2,2O0 years old, can still be fresh and amusing. It is a personal anecdote of Chuang Tzu, a brilliant Chinese writer and phiIoso- pheT of the fourth century B. C..
 Chuang Tzu was fishing in the P'u river when the Prince of Gnu sent two high officials to ask him to take charge of the administration of that province
 Chuang Tzu went on fishing and, without turning his head, said: '1 have heard that in Gnu there is a sacred tortoise that has been dead some 5000 years and that the prince keeps this tortoise carefully inclosed in a chest on the altar of his ancestral temple Now. would this tortoise rather be dead and have it's remains venerated or be alive and wagging its tail in the mud?'
 +It would rather be alive" replied the two officials. '.and waggfng it's tat1 iH the mud.''
 "Begone!'' cried Chuang Tzu. "I, tooL will wag my tail in the mud"
