PLAYS FOR SMALL STAGES. BY Mary
Adds. New York: Duffield & Co.
Five simple plays are gathered up
here for the use of those small groups
of people who. all over the country. are
turning their play time over to acting,
and the interests of the amateur stage.
The requirements here are quite within
the reach of all. the stage-mechanics
are of the simplest. and the plays
themselves are well worth considera-
ton. In no case is the theme a new
ne-ar there. in fact, any strictly
new themes?-but in every instance its
treatment is fresh and attractive.
Hardly too much can be said In support
of the dramatic impulse as a force in
every stage of education. and hardly
too much car be lone to it's
use and development. Therefore this
book, and others calculated to meet the
present general urge toward dramatic
expression, are merely responses to a
demand for material. If all of the pub
locations along this line are up to the
mark of Miss Adds little book, then

Alaska Salmon.
John A. sleicher, in I.cslie's.

JOnl \. Sie1cEeT, IN isrsiie :.
AS saw the Admiral Watson taking
on thousands of cases of salmon at
Seldovia l asked Mr.. Randolph how
long the fish then being shipped had
peer out of the water. He said: Only
a day. They go from here to Seattle
and can be on your table in New YORK
in three or four weeks after they are
caught" Fresh fish. a..
Mr.. Randolph said that one OF the
choicest delicacies he ever ATE was
mess of Dreaded broiled hearts of the
big king salmon. Some of these nsn
weigh $50 pounds each. while the req
or "~sockeye" salmon average only eigh1
pounds. They taste like sweetoreads,
he added. 1T is too bad they are
wasted" And so are the me. ,aIse
livers, as big as your hand. ana the
spawn which if it was sturgeon eggs
would command a high price for caviar.
Plans to utilize some of these produces
are being studied by Mr.. Randolph
by others. mother tidbit is the little
chunk of sweet, tender meat lodged IN
the cheek of the salmon, just below tne
gills. The Gamers reserve Such dell-
cacies for themselves and their frlenos,
but the time will come when hey Will
find special mention on the menus OF
the highest priced restaurants.
The Gamers get at wholesale only
about ID cents for a o~ne-pound can
of the best red salmon and only half
the price for the pink and even less for
the white. The red salmon constituted
only three-sevenths of the pack. put
three-fourthS in value of the entire
product. The public prefers the red
meat and is willing to pay double price
for it. So much for gratifying a taste.

Education as She Is Educated.

From the New York World.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching gravely de-
plores the bungling reports put forth
by educational authorities, citing a
county official, who writes: Our at
tendance was not as good as We would
have liked for it to have been, owing
to the fact of a very large cotton crop
in the fall and the scarcity of abo a
good many children were kept out of
school through the month Of January
to pick cotton, and. too the wet spring
we had. last year quite a number were
cut off from school by the water"
If language is given to conceal
thought this man misuses it; his mean
ing is plain as a pikestaff. Yet the
misuse has its p~aradoXical uses. If
there were nothing to deplore-and
this goes" for matters other than edu-
cstional-what would become OF the de-
plorers? To be without ~frightful ex-
amples that prove his case might well
shock any reformer. If there were
nothing and no one left to uplift. the
born uplifter woul be as uneasy as an
anti-slavery martyr in 1867.
When a county educator says that
our teachers went forth fresh from the
grindstone to delve with the pupils he
both states a fact and makes us APP
preciate the need of delving. IT every
body in the country used the purest
A~ddisonian English, there would be
just SO much less use for a Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching. No true advancer Gould
imagine a more frishtful calamity.

little girl of Green Gables having
reached the milestone which divides
childhood from early youth, becomes a
student at Redmond and afterward a
teacher. Later on. romance comes. and
but that would be telling Anne's
readers a secret which they should
have the delight of finding out for
themselves. Old-time playmates who
have grown into w~omanhood along with
the heroine have like wonderful ex-
p~eriences which lead to rings and bride
roses. and because there must be
touches of sadness in the happiest
lives, Death comes to one of the merry
circle-taking her gently while she
slept because she was afraid to die.
And. always. there is dear Mariila,
back to her home-Green Gables.
THREE SCORE.AND TEN: 4 Book for
the Aged. BY Amelia E. Barr. New
York: d. Appleton & Co.
This latest book which Mrs. Barr
sends out to her world of readers and
which. possibly. is the final many
PACED volume of her gifted and dec
ades-driven pen, differs in character
from her previous work. in that the
romance of fiction gives way TO a high
er and greater love which is born of the
soul. Her literary charm is as COM
pelling as in the days when she wrote
for youth, but the spirit strikes a
loftier note in these pages which SIZE
dedicates to Those quiet years God
gives to the people who are old"

factions. The story OF John Tabb's life
as it is given here is Interesting. in
large part through it's own rac ter
and in other part through the sympa-
thy and admiration OF his ~biographer.
Passing from his life-story to his work,
this writer goes into a critical sketch
of John Tab as a poet of nature, of
friendship, of spiritual fervors n ex-
altations. Many of his lyrics on these
various themes are given here in proof
of the poetic genius of the writer. 1t
is a loving and competent study, one
that is calculated to turn readers to a
unfamiliar poetry of John Bannister
Tabb.
THE FAITHFUL: A Tragedy In Three

etc. New York: The Macmillan

One ann reasonably quarrel with
Mr.. Masefeld for choosing tragedy as
his medium of dramatic expression.
why o choose the tragedies that
walk the streets today. or Turk in the
homes OF all the modern world? Why
does he always, one wonders. go back
into antiquity for the men and the cir
cumstances that he uses to prove the
tragic quality of life" To be sure he
does endow these eulot people with
natures that are as human today as
were then. he does make them the
representatives of undying ideas and
ideals. but it is just the unfamiliar

THE TRADE IN OLD
AND BROKEN GLASS

THE salvage-glass industry is no
u mean or unimportant one. Indeed.
it is of such Importance and extent that
many dealers in secondhand glass
specialize in n branch or another.
Some, for instance, handle only plate
glass that comes TO them by reason -
to make place for new structures. Sal
wage glass of this sort brings prices
not far below those of new glass
A considerable quantity of the SAL
wage glass dealers stock emanates from
the plate-glass insurance companies.
The methods of these companies in
taking over glass vary. one concern
may keep no stock OF hand. simply
buying whatever is required to replace
a broken pane, disposing of the broken
pla SIS. If enough remain to be sold, TO
the salvage dealer. Sometimes n COM
pany will have n warehouse of its own,
to which it will remove broken glass
that may still be in condition TO use.
Frequently 1t will happen that only
one corner has been broken from a
large pane and that this may be cut
down to fit a smaller window
Most plate glass is insured, but there
uninsured plate that is broken, the
owner must, of course, go to d dealer
for a new plate. He VIII sell the
broker plate to the salvage dealer ii
follows. therefore. that from insurance
companies, from building wreckers and
from owners of uninsured glass the
salvage glass dealers great
quantities of secondhand plate glass
Much of this is in such cohdition that
il NAV be reset anywhere. Should the
consist. for instance. OF siinpl
a deep scratch in the center, it is easy
to make that plate salable. The sec
ond-hand dealer cuts out a strip con-
tanning the scratch, and thus have left
two smaller plates, quite suitable Tor
smaller windows.
When injured plate glass is too much
scratched to be available for WINDOWS.
it is sometimes made into ground or
frosted glass. for Office partitions or
doors Salvage plate glass too small
for use in windows is employed for
the glass doors of refrfgerators, and
larger pieces are utilized in the max
ing of glass table tops Small frag-
ments go to the making of hand mir
rors. although only clear pieces may
be so employed. other pieces, too small
for other purposes, enter INTO the
manufacture of glass signs.
Eventually, when the last piece of
merchanta BILE glass has been cut from
the damaged piece. there remain the
scraps and fra gments accumulated in
the cutting. Even these have their
uses. although they do not bring much.
They are melted and used in the manu-
factuNe of bottles.
