PARAGRAPHS.

"The spoils system" in American
politics is as old as Andrew Jackson and
it has about it elements that so appeal
to the selfshness OF mankind that makes
it reasonable to suppose that remnant,
at least, OF the system will remain with
US for some time TO come. The Civil
Service Reform law put spoke IN the
wheel OF the spoils system, that made
the thing less obnoxious TO the pubhc
and also lifted load ol worry and re
sponsibility from the shoulders ol over
worked presidents and cabinet officers
The political parties vi the country, how
ever, still cling TO the right 10 reward
their head heutenants, henchmen and ad-
herents with such plums as collectorshlps
OF ports and internal revenue and the

1t is understood that Olneyville is to
receive some electric cars that have been
used Tor some years on the Cranstoh
lines, that are 10 DC replaced there Dy
new ana up-todate stock. Ii Tins is Il
fact, IL Will not strike people VINO are
conyersant with the present methods ol
the khod~ Island Company as new or
strange. The OlneyyIlle lines have the
well earned reputation ot having The
most ancient and dllapidated rolling
stock owned by the company. The cars
are shabby, knock kneed and often Hat
wheeled. just when new cars were pur-
chased tor the Omeyville car house can
only be recalled by old residents with
long memories. 1t is u matter ol ancient
history. Let US then welcome The
Cranston cast-ohs with thankIulness, lor
they will be many times better than the
"Toonerville" antiques III which we now
ride and Tor which privilege We pay our
good nickels.

Here is something worth while for
bachelors 10 consider.
A Boston woman says she can detect
a bachelor as far rs she can see him.
She always knows bachelor by his
furtiye look. The furtive look, she ex-
plains. Is something akin 10 that OF a
hunted animal. always on the watch
for snarcs nud pitfalls. or course this
may apply only to Boston bachelors.
but Il would be Nell for all other sin
gle unrortuuates TO take a good look
at themselves I'm the mirror and find
that telltalc look. If hey do there Is
an easy way to enaoe it.-Cleyeland

KEITH'S THEATRE.

All Providence is sgog with interest over
the announcement that Mildred Macomber
the beautiful dancer from the Boston
Opera House, is coming to Keith's Theatre
next week and people from far ard near
are sure to flock to see this new dance
sensation. Miss Macomber, with thirty
dancing water nymphs, will offer big
dramatic pantomine called. "Holidsy's
Dream. During this elaborate product
ion, some Of the most graceful dances ever
executed tell the story, and a group Of
classical statues for twenty minutes or
more, suddenly take fright and dive from
their position, some twenty feet in the air,
10 the pool of water beneath. The dancing
nymphs disappear in the pool, are lost
many minutes and then mysteriously re-
appear clad in d fferept costumes.
"Loye, Honor and Obey" will be an
other important feature Of the program.
This is an uproarously funny comedy
sketch woven around that part Of the mar.
rige contract, telling Of the amusing results
of an argument, in which a newly married
couple both decline TO recognize the word
"obey" in their new afflliation. To married
people, and every one who contemp ates
matrmony, the comedy is especially funny
Harry and Eva Puck, one of the cleverest
young couples Of vaudeville, will offer a
merry comedy skit called" "The Song Hit",
teeming with bright lines, catchy songs
and graceful dances; and Bert Hanlon, the
carefree comedian, is expected to be the
same big laughing hit in Providence that
he has been everywhere. Charles Olcott,
Hamilton and Barnes, Nelson Waring, The
Demacos, travel motion pictures and the
Keith Concert Orchestra will complete
what promises to be one OF the biggest and
best bills of all the year. Cut-rate matinee
prices on Monday afternoon, when orches-
ira seats are twenty five cents and first
balcony seats fifteen cents, makes that one
of the most popular days OF the week and
many people make special point OF going
on that afternoon. Another great convent
ence to OneyvIlle patrons Of Kei,h'5 is
the subscription list. BY this subscription
plan one may have his favorite seats held
for the same afternoon or evening every
week without additional cost or without
payment in advance. 1t saves out.of.town
theatregoers from the disappointment Of
getting to Providence and finding no seats
left and insures good seats always.

Horses are fond of rolling on the
ground, and no animal more thorough
ly shakes itself than they do. After
a roll they give themselves n shake
or two to remove anything adhering
to the coat. The habit is OF much
service to horses living in open plains.
On being turned loose at the end Of a
journey an Arab horse rolls In the
sand, which acts as blotting paper, alb
sorbing exudations from the body. A
shake removes the sand, and the coat
soon dries. Cavalrymen in hot climates
sometimes put sand on their horses as
the simplest and quickest way of drying
them.

The Only Lasting Title Man Gets
Comes When tlo Dies.
The japanese have many quaint Gus
toms handed down from generation to
generation. one of the strangest Is
that of their naming ceremony. When
one mouth old Il Japanese child gets its
first name with ceremonial. Trumpets
are blown, and the child is borne I'm

behind the procession march the house

wordrObc. The servant I'm the rear of
the procession bears huge box, In
which is the priests fee, together with
three slips OF paper, on which three
names are written. ON reaching the
temple the names are thrown into the
air. and the first that touches the
ground Is the one which the child re-
ceives.
when three years old the child is
again named, accompanied 10y elaborate
religious rites. At the age of fifteen
his education is supposed to be fin
ished. and as hp then enters manhood
according 10 Japanese law he Is again
named.
When he takes TO business he re-
ceives his business" name, 10y which
he IS known I'm the commercial world,
and upon every upward step In life he
receives new name. If his master
happens e. have the same name he
must mt once change II, rs II detracts
from his supcriors dignity. At his
marriage his name Is altered again,
and his last and only permanent one is
that given him after death. which Is
written on his tomb.-Bondon Answers
