terrors for the obelisk thanks to the forethought
of the builders in providing an ingenious system
of electric conductors. The keynote Of the
scheme is found in a'small pyramid of aluminium,
weighing about hundred ounces, which
crowns the capstone of the monument. This
metal headpiece is connected with rods that de-

PROSPECTIVE CHEER.

Do you remember how you kicked
About the summer sun?
The wheels of time have turned and
clicked,
And summer days are done.
Does it not cheer you to reflect
That In a month or so
ALI fear OF warmth you may neglect
And you can shovel snow?
A sneeze will agitate your head.
Your glass will bring to view
A face whose eyes are rather red
While nose and ears are blue.
From old time sorrows you'll be free.
And gayly. you can go
And where the daisies used to be
Proceed to shovel snow.
What though a chilblain lies in waitf
What though with muscles numb
You clear a pathway to the gate
Where visitors may come?
Remember how you once reviled
The sky's too generous glow
Meath which the fragrant blossoms
smiled.
Rejoice and shovel snow!

Food For InvaIids.

Many good cooks cannot cook .

BILE; that. although it must be
nOurishing, it must be dainty RS
we'll.
After the inyalid's food is
cooked much remains to be done
to make it palatable. The
daintiest china. the brightest
silver and the whitest table lin
en- are none too good for the In
valid's service. The hot food
must be served hot. not warm,
and the cool food must be served
cool. A single flower on the
lunch tray often acts as a better
appetizer than a bottleful of
medicine, and small amount
of food tastefully arranged is
sure to be of greater benefit
than a large amount-unappetiz-
ing because of it's very bulk.

MONDAY NIGHTS Play
Story of The Romancers" is a Con
tinual Sequence of Charm and
Poetry

"The Romancers" translated from
the French of LES Romanesques,' IS
considered the most delightful and
charming comedy that has been writ
ten by living playwright. 1t was
first produced in Paris at the Comed!e
Franchise where it ran for whole
wear. The Creates of comedians,
Coquelin, played the role of the brl-
gand adventurer Straforel, and it was
because of his success in this play that
the more serious play of "Cyrano dc
Bergerse" was written in fact the
character of Syraforel is the same
character as "Cyrano" in this more Sc
rious play.
"The Romancers" has not been pro
ducei before in this country, mainly
because an adequate translation had
not Eeen made Of it. The great Eng
lish actress, Mrs. Patrick Campbell,
had an excellent translation made for
her well known production at the Roy
ailty Theater in London, and she gave
Mir. Frank Lea Short the American
rights of this translation. it is con-
siGered most excellent one ana
brings or. the full beauty and the
charming wit Of the original French.
The story of "The RomancerS" Is %
continual sequence Of charm and po-
etry and brilliant situation and excit-
ing incident. 1t is a play which will
appeal 20 every one whether they
with brilliant Dialogue, cieverness of
situation, beauty of setting or pure
exciting drama combines with the
most laughable comedy. 1t is also
play which will appeal 10 children as
vel as to older people.
The imitation abduction with which
the first act closes has been said 20
be The most brillian. clin?a;. Of any
act which has been produced in Paris
for a number of years. Laughs, tears
and thrills are here combined in few
moments of swift inciden., and the
applause which always follows Is 4
sure proof of the GriE!ance CT the first
act Of this play. That the ci!arm and
interest and wit continues Through the
,wo following acts is well established.
The production of Frank Lea Short
Company has been SAL TO be even
better than the original presentation
of this play in Paris and the lady
managers OF the Alexandria Hospital
were exceedingly fortunate 20 secure
this play for May 18th at p: hi.
Il will be given On the Hospital
grounds, and if the weather is incic-
ment, the presentation will be given at
