The million Dollar DolP' Pleases.

An audience that filled nearly every
seat in the opera house greeted the
"Million Dollar Doll" last Thursday
evening, and everyone was pleased as
it was pretty, tuneful and built for
laughing purposes only. While there
were no voices in the company that in
dividually were of special merit, there
was a go and snap to the way the songs
were put over" that was very pleas
ing. The comedy work of the Orrs,
one as MIR. Meekman, the henpecked
husband, and the other in blackface,
kept the house in merriment at all
times The work of the chorus was ex-
tremely good, and the special scenery
carried added much to making the
''Million Dollar Doll'' big success.

Old Iimes at tho caeisat.

In recalling the lively and pactur-
esque incidents which the old timers
enjoyed in Washington one Is moved
almost to tears over the commonplace
nature Of his own times. John Adams
used 70 bathe IN the. Potomac every
morning at daylight because he had no
oathtub In the White House, and no
one ever pulled camera on him. Presi-
dent Taylor used to walk about the
town and stop and chat with every one
he met, like q policeman A reception
in the White House IN these days IS
relieved Of nonotony only by the great
crush Of, guests. who trample the
clothes of one another's backs. Aloth-
er president set up In the east room a
800 pound cheese and invited the mnl-
titude to come in and, help Itself, which
the multitude proceeded to do.

Bad Hearing.

When Proctor Knott, aow dead, was
governor Of Kentucky an influential
citizen Of mountain county In the
eastern end Of the state was convicted
Of manslaughter and sentenced to serve
a term Of years In prison.
Having an aversion to going to pris-
on the mountaineer brought pressure
to bear upon the executive Office with
q view to securing a pardon His en-
emies were equally active In fighting

movement to convince the pardoning
power that he was a menace to the
peace Of the community and belonged
behind steel bars.
One day the governor received let

man. It began as follows:

Worlds Oldest Industry.

The pearl fisheries Of Ceylon are said
to be the oldest industry in the world.
For over 5000 years the pearl oyster
harvest has been Catered by. the ma
tiyes, who, skilled in diving, have hand.
ed down the industry from one genera
uon to the next. Pearl fishing In Cey-
Ion today Is somewhat Of a speculation.
The greatest care is taken lest when
the shells Of the bivalves are opened
any OF the precious gems be lost or
stolen. A very strict watch IS kept
over the natives who are employed in
this kind Of work, but In spite Of the
greatest precautions some Of the small
er stones are frequently concealed. The
refuse from the shells Is very carefully
examined subsequent to this first ex-
animation. Even the dried dust oe the
oyster IS carefully sifted. -

An Econcmie.I Wife.

"a friend of mine" says g. clever
needleweman, "had occasion to open
my shirtwaist box the other day. She
came to me, saying. Ny, but you are
extravagant! You have eleven pretty
silk waists in that one box. How did
you happen to buy so much wash silk"
My answer surprised her. My husband
works in O bank and must wear clean
linen. He IS partial to silk shirts, but
as soon rs there IS the least break near
the collar they are thrown away.
Shortly afterward I appear in a new
silk waist, for the rest Of the shirt is
perfectly good. He is large man, and
there IS not the least trouble in getting
the waist from the shirt Sometimes
vary them by putting on plain collar
and cuffs.
"You will find that when using this
idea you do not mind at all how many
new shirts the man Of the house
chooses to buy. You will! even suggest
at times that certain shirt in the VIM
dow would look we'll on him-and. in
cidentally,. on you."-Pittsburgh Dis

What Memory ia.

The. correct way to increase the pro-
dnctivity Of the memory is to link ev.
cry new thing with IN understood
thought already in hand. Merely to
memorize the Bible and thus b be
able parrot-hke to speak 1t "by heart"
Is not memory. intellectually and emo
tonally to appreciate and understand
one psalm or proverb Is memory. To
know where to put your finger on the
right verse or passage Of the Bible on
your table Is practical and useful rec
onection. Dictionaries, directories, en-
cyclopedias, indexes and reference
books do the mechanical part for you.
Reason, association, adaptability and
the perception Of relationships are bet
ter than much Latin and more Greek,
however beautiful and instructive these
may be In Observation-Disclosures.

There Is an amusing example Of or
entail subtlety in an anecdote that Mr..
Sidney Whitman tells In Turkish
Memories" /" The story IS Of a young
diplomat who was sent to Constant
nople to be trained for his profession
One day the diplomat met carriage
guarded by eunuch that contained
some ladies Of the suitan's harem- The
young man endeayored to- peep in at
the window and got q blow across the
face from the visilant eunuch- he
made great uprear and lodged COM
plaint with the sultan himself. He was
received in private audience. and Alb
dul Hamid listened patNntly to his
story Of the outrage" =
On its conclusion the sultan replied:
Ny dear sir. rruve gone carefully
into the case and see exactly how It
stands. You: are a, gentleman; there
fore you could never; have committed
such breach Of good manners as Is
alleged to have taken place, and conse-
quently no eunuch could possibly have
presumed to strike you. The whole af-
fair must be the product Of your fancy;

Curious. straet Names.

The list of curious street names IS
inexhaustible. Bermondsey possesses
q Pickle Herring street Near Gray's
inn there is to be found a Cold Bath
square. Most of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden ironically
enough in the slums Of the east end.
But for really bizarre street names
one should go to Brussels. The Short
Street of the Long Chariot the Street
Of the Red Haired Woman and the
Street Of Sorrows are remarkable
enough to catch the least observant
eye. The Street Of the One Person IS,
as one might guess, considerably mar
rover than Whitehall. But the cream
Of Brussels street names surely belongs
to the Street Of the Uncracked Silver
Cocoanut. This in the original appears
as one ponderous thfrty-six letter word.
