REGRETS DECLINE OF DRAMA
Writer in Atlantic Monthly Is Out
spoken in Condemning Taste of
the Modern Playgoer.

The drama? We never had much of
it, properly speaking, so far as orig
inal work is concerned, but we did
have great actors, and during the lat
ter half of the nineteenth century our
people loved good plays, admirably
acted. Most of us can remember the
time when the great cities had many
theaters offering the noblest work and
crowded to the doors. Now, in the last
ten years, all is changed. Good art
has wholly passed except when a mas
ter from England or France comes
among us in his declining years to
give those farewell performances"
that mark his withdrawal from active
life and the ending of great era Of
dramatic art. The taste of the tired
business man is now the standard and
the directing cause of whatever is pro-
duced; and whenever his; fancy rises
a degree above the silly and the hui
morously salacious it scars only into
the dubious realm of pathology plus
pornography. No catastrophe so COM
plete, no debacle so humiliating has
ever been recorded I'm any art in so
brief a space of time.-From the At
lantic Monthly.

HOW TO PLEASE THE MEN.

If all the year were playing holidays.
To sport would be as tedious as to
work.
But when they seldom come. they wished
for some.
And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
There's a man in almost every fam
lily. If not, there ought to be. Once
in a while, he is the household drudge,
as it were, the plod who keeps the
wheel of support going. But more
generally he is found to be the king
of the home, the one person whom ev-
cry member of the family is most anx-
ious to please. There is nothing which
has so much weight with either sons
or daughters as for the mother to re-
mark: "Your father will not be pleased
If you do this or that" It's a thread
bare joke about families trying to
please the young son of the household.
Even the young men who call come
in for their share. If they are nos
pleased in the way they are enter
tanned. the girls know full well that
they will not be likely to come again
very soon. All of the girls future pros
poets depend upon pleasing the men.
The young woman who has a sarcastic.
tongue is told to curb it If she would
make herself pleasing to the opposite
sex. Even in her dressing, whether
she will admit it or not, she cares
great deal as to whether her male
friends are pleased with her appear
ance or not. 1t is only natural that
women should like to appear most fair
in masculine eyes.
Nine family men out of ten will tell
you they have no "say so" about the
house. The truth is, everything around
and about it is for their pleasure. If
the head of the house is not pleased
with corned beef, no matter how much
the girls may want it, it is tabooed
from that table. If he has sweet
tooth and has never been able to get
over the liking for the maple cake
which his mother used to make, 1t is
the greatest pleasure a wife knows
to go down to the kitchen and concoct
with her own hands the sweet he likes.

be at their best in the eyes of the
foreman, their fellow workers and en-
plOyers.
Men do not realize to what extent
they are really lords of creation. If
all the male inhabitants in the world
were united in the one desire to please
the women, what wonderful world
this would be. The trouble is, men
are wont to please themselves and let
it go at that. 1t must be said to their
credit that they are generally rational
in their wants. likes and dislikes.
They have no other wish than to be
pleased with women. The girl who
.pleases them best, they court and wed.
All the world turns upon the axle of
pleasing. What a delightful existence
it is, then, after all, when the ,princi-
pal aim and object in life is in making
it pleasant for SOmeone-and that
someone's aim is in making it pleasant
for us.

Hartford Courant 1t is located in
Sound Beach, and is known as Ar

Agjlssiz association, under the leader
ship of Prof. Edward F. Bigelow, is
trying to carry out the dream of the
famous Louis Agassiz for the study Of
nature in its varied manifestations
from flower to insect. The college has
a library of 1000 volumes dealing with
nearly every subject which has to do
with nature. There are no paid teach
ers and no set fees for students, who
may seek in Arcadia information on
fossils, bugs. plants, glaciers, birds. di-

small home, or start business, or
send promising son to college. When
the step has been once taken many a
wife finds it difficult to return to the
routine of home duties, thereby giving
up her weekly wage, which came in so
handily in the family upkeep.
Most husbands are grateful to the
loving wife who so nObly takes upon
herself share of the burden of sup
port. Occasionally there is one who
does not seem to realize or appreciate
her sacrifice in this direction. The
home of the woman who works outside
of it all day long is never quite the
coy dovecote of the woman who can
remain in it giving all her time and at
tentiOn to it. There are wives who
could not earn a dollar outside of the
home if their very lives depended on
it. Who shall say whether the general
run of husbands love the "clinging
vines" best or not? No woman can do
two things well at one and the same
time. If a wife has evolved into a
business woman, the home tells the
story more plainly than words. Each
detail of housekeeping gets but lick
and a promise. Time and strength
forbids anything else. The home at
mosphere melts away slowly, but sure
ly. The wife is too fretted by many
a little annoyance of the day to rush
TO the door at the sound of her hus-
bands latchkey to give him a hug and
kiss. More than likely he is the first
to enter the gloomy, shutup rooms.
Where a home, for any cause, be-
comes desOlate, existence within its
walls is unsatisfying; when this oc-
ours, q goOdly share of affection is apt
to crumble with it. The business wife
forgetS all too soon her pretty little
articles and coquetry-and these are
the magnets which hold mans heart
in leash. The working wife gradually
usurps the place of the husband who
earns less as the head of the family
If sickness or sorrow falls upon a
husband, incapacitating him from sup
porting the home and it's inmates, a
wife should heroically go forth to earn
money, if she has the ability to do so.
Her husband will love her twice as
dearly for her herOism and evidence of
love for him. But, unless it is a neces-
sity, most men do not care to have
their wives wage-earners. The home
with full measure of love therein is
most appealing to masculine natures.

1t is reported that almost every day
an unusual scene may be witnessed
on Loeb Dutch, Rosshire, New Bruns-

over to an island in the loch, about
200 yards from the mainland, feed
there and return in the evening. They
are never driven, but take their bath
entirely of their own free will. If the
wind is against them on their return
journey, and the sea is rough, it some
times is necessary for d man to put
out in boat and help them over in
turn by holding out his hand under
each cows chin, since they become
dazed if the sea dashes in their faces,
and swim in circles instead of going
straight ahead. =
