GENIUS AND GENEALOGY.

When man is of the third genera tjno of inherited wealth he begins to banker for a family tree. He hires an expert genealogist to trace ~;s dc. scent.
 This is usually one of the first symptoms that he is descending ann that the next generation of that par t:cular family will hit bottom with q dull thud.
 Genealogy, to be useful, might take hold of the real genius, the man who has achieved something worth while, and hunt back into his ances try, and determine whether 1t was some bygone strain that made him worth While-or whether 1t was merly the man himself.

Leuecd of HanQman's Stone.

Numerous large powders in Eng. land ns well as in this country have received the name Of the hangmnn's stone, as result of legend which attaches much the same story to each. There were two fiends in the parish of Foremark. in Dcrbyshire, called the Great and the Little Hangman's Stone, from the boulders which they con. tained. The former was five or six feet high, with an indentation running across the top. This peculiar mark was explained by tradition, as follows: 1: Once upon time thief, having stolen sheep, placed his booty on the top of the stone while he rested, but it slipped off and strangled the man with the rope which tied the sheep to his back, the indentation being made by the friction of the rope passing back and forth in the struggles of the dying man to oxtricate himself.

IL is . mistake. ayers the nluninat- Ing Engineer Socieey, to use a bright light against a dark background, and while an artistic fixture is well enough as a decoration. yet lamps which in themselves are good and suitable will not be satisfactory from a hygienin standpoint unless the fixtures are in the right position. In planning the H. lumination of a room 1t Is only com- mon sense to determine just what you are going to use that room for. anf then to arrange the lighting. By do- ing this 1t should be possible for peo. pie of middle age to add years of ex- cellent eyesight which otherwise would soon diminish. Where children of various ages are in a family the matter of artificial light Is of great i'm. portance. The general health of a growing boy or girl may be seriously affected by careless lighting. especial ly in rooms where they read or study their leasOna.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

Enid Bennett's new starring vehicle is "The Girl, Glory" Triangle play produced under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince which will be shown at the Orpheo theatre Monday. In "The Girl, Glory Enid Bennett appears as Glory Wharton, the granddaughter of an old civil war veteran, Jed Wharton. Jed was a veteran who had fought at Vicksburg, and, like all old gentlemen, he is a little tiresome at times when he buttonholes every one within reach to tell him of the different battles in which he has served. He has a fine taste for old bourbon and is wont to celebrate on inauspicious occasions In this dilemma she seeks the aid of her best adviser, the youn~ minister of the village. They decide that if the old man is unable to get the liquor he will do without it. How she ac- complishes her determination forms the dramatic episodes that go to make up this drama.
 The Winter Garden Frolic will be the vaudeville attraction at the Or pheo theatre this week. This is a large company of 20 people with spe- cial scenery for every show, complete change of program every other day. This company carries a large beauty chorus and every one of the prinei, pals is said to be an artist in their line. For their opening bill they will present the New York success, "Stop, Look TiSten"
