 nAK.DAVID GkRRICK
 AT 0RPREUM TONIGHT
Quaint Old English Comedy. to Be Presented by Capable People Who Appeared Last Evening in "The Test.

Clifton Mallory and his talented company will appear at the Orpheum theatre tonight in that bright English comedy, David Garrick.''
 The comedy, David Garrick." is written around an actual experience of this once famous actor, which hap pened in London. during his famous run in Hamlet, with a boarding school girl who had fallen in love with him. The play places the actor in such a position that he must act both comedy and tragedy, a task which has tried the abilities of some of our most fam ous actors. MT. Clifton Mallory seems one of the few who has made a sue cess of this very trying character Everybody should be interested in a great play, written by a great author, one which has been played by such artists as the elder Sothern, Goodwin, Willard and Charles Wyndham. before the crowned heads of Europe and the elite of America. Such a play must possess genuine merit, elevating the stage, the actor and humanity, as only the work of the true artist can be used both in the rendering of the play and in the construction of the stage

 Companies C and K were march ing toward Fl Valle under command of Captain Boyd with orders to march through Carrizal. When we were within about three-quarters of a mile of the town General Gomez met us. Captain Boyd asked him if we might pass through Carrizal and Gomez said mo-

EXHIBITION OF MEAT
 CUTTING IS SUCCESS

The meat cutting exhibition at the Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium yesterday af- ternoon under the auspices of the home economies department of the Twentieth Century Club, was attend ed by several hundred women and young high school girls of the eeono- mics classes.
 Al Smith of the Tovrea's markets, demonstrated the cuttings, during which one large beef and ''porker were subdivided into little bits and passed around on silver trays for the edifcation of the audience. Through out the exhibition Smith poured forth a line of talk explaining as he went the tricks of his trade, and occasion ally injecting some sly repartee into his subject.
 The government meat inspector failed to appear. and Smith had the entire two hours at his own disposal. He was the only man with more than three hundred women surrounding him. However. he seemed to enjoy it and so, for that matter, did the wom- en.

METRO MASTERPIECE
 FOR CENTRAL TONIGHT
'Life's Shadows" Is Story of Lawyer-Philosopher in
 Eastern Village.

"Life's Shadows" a strong and pow erful five-part Metro wonderplay, in which William Nigh, the versatile director-author-star and Irene Howley. noted for her delineation of difficult dramatic roles, are starred, will be the big feature production at the Cen tral theatre, Lowell, today. In addi- ton to these two popular stars there is an exceptionally strong supporting cast which includes Robert Elliot, Roy Clair, Will s. stephen, Kathleen Al laire, William Yearance, Frank Mont gomery, David Thompson, Harry Lin son, Harry D. Blakemore, Ruth Thorp and Grace E. Stevens.
 In "Life's Shadows" MT. Nigh plays the role of an impecunious lawyer in the small town of Purity. He is sadly misunderstood by the natives, al though he is gentle and kind-hearted, and ever a quaint philosopher. The other residents do. not realize it, but the lawyers invisible guiding hand is the one that controls the destiny of the little old town, and he is respon- sible for lifting the community up from the commonplace. He rights many of the great wrongs in the town and brings to the surface the best in all who come in contact with him. IL is a decidedly novel story of unusual interest, and has scores of big dra- matic moments. Miss Howley has an excellent role, that of girl who has come to the town to 'go straight" Supreme comedy is blended with pathos with rare artistry.
 The exterior scenes for 'Life's Shadows" were staged and photo graphed in the town of Allaire, N. j., which is known as "The Deserted Village" At one time it was the fore most thriving center in New Jersey, but more than seventy-five years ago was deserted. All the quaint old houses and stores were used to good advant. age by Director Nigh. He also em ployed many of the real natives there to appear in the big scenes. In many it is one of the most inter- esting productions ever made.

Hunting the Emu.

The natives of Australia are ingen-
ious. A black on discovering emus
feeding ON a plain will cover his back
and head with an emu skin, allowing
it to hang down well on the side TO-
ward the unsuspecting birds. In his
right hand he will carry hidden by the
skin a boomerang and one or two
throwing sticks or "waddies.' Then
his left arm will protrude beyond the
skin straight out to the elbow, and the
forearm will be bent up, with the hand
at right angles to it, thereby making
capital imitation of an emus head and
neck. Now and then his hand or head
will be brought to the ground as II for
feeding, and as the black walks along
he initiates every motion Of the bird
while at the same time by means OF
the big tee he draws spear along the
ground. He proceeds thus until close
enough to spear his bird.

INcAsEo POSTAGE STAMPS.
Once Used as Money, They Are Now
Rare and Valuable.

New York city was the birthplace Of
a peculiar sort of Nancy, made by put
ting United States postage stamps in
fat circular brass cases, with the faces
protected by thin sheet of mica. The
incased stamps consisted Of these de-
nominations: |, 3, 5, 10, y, "a, 80 and
90 cent, 1862. and this method OF pro-
tecting the stamps SO they could with
stand the wear of circulation was the
invention of John Gault. who was IN
business at Park place, New York city,
Mr.. Gault manufactured many kinds
to be used by business firms in place
of small change, as we'll as the mutt
lated and worn postage stamps used
for money at the beginning of the war.
Many of the incased stamps bore the
name of the firm on the reverse side,
so that the currency served to adver-
tise the firm that issued it.
Occasionally a subscriber asks us in
regard to these stamps and their value.
Our reply always is that they are or
considerable rarity and not infreQuent-
ly they command a big premium. This
is particularly true Of the II, "a, &c
and 80 cent denominations. These
stamps are eagerly sought for by COL
lectors of both stamps and coins, but
especially the former, and they fetch
good prices whenever offered at auc-

WORLDS IN THE MAKING.
What Is Taking Place In the Great
NebuIa In Andromeda.

What Is Taking Place In the Great
NebuIa In Andromeda.
We look today OH the things Of a
century, millennium, ago. Light trav-
cling at the rate Of 1S6, 300 miles a sec
ond requires more than four years to
come from the nearest star, perhaps
thousands and tens OF thousands OF
years from the farthest; hence in every
case they are not what Is, but what
was.
Thousands Of nebulae have been dis
covered in the heavens. The spiral pat
tern Of some few nebAae has long
been confirmation of tho theory that
they are the real beginners Of solar
system. But there has recently come
In much evidence Of the spiral charac-
ter Of other nebulae that the conclu.
sion seems forced upon us that practi-
cally all are in a state of rotation and
are hence supplying the centrifugal
force to throw off the rings which roll
themselves up into planets revolving
about central suns.
When opportunity is given to look d.
rectly down upon a nebula there re-
suits startling evidence Of its being
III rota ton. There is no other way OF
explaining its remarkable details Of
structure Some look like the propeller
blades Of motorboat; some are actu-
ally caught in the act of throwing off
rings which are seen cOndensing at
certain centers, rolling themselves into
planets, henceforth to travel around
their suns The great nebula In An
dromeda gives striking evidence that 1t
is working out another and greater
solar system than our own.
In short. it seems that in studying
the nebuac we are being admitted to
the very workshop or the universe anu
are permitted to watch the actual proc
ess of turning out worlds. Nothing In
the heavens is better fitted to fill the
very soul with awe. As in the case of
the fixed stars our lives are too
brief, too feeble our eyes, to detect the
actual motion.-Frederick CampbelPs
