yesterday at the Colonial theatre,
where the charming Virginia Pearson
made her comedy debut in "Impossiole
Catherine" a most pleasing feature
with a truly humoroust plot.
Catherine is a wealthy, willful girl
She has never been crossed in any of
her desires and anything that smaks
of an attempt to curb her meets with
an Immediate uprising.
John Peter Jackson. young man
with will of his own and who must
have invented cave man stuff becomes
interested in the headstrong girl, so ne
teImines to spend his life tanning
her. AS a step toward this end he
persuades her into a secret marriage.
His early attempts at tanning end
in infuriation only on the part of Cath
crime. He determines that it is due to
the influence OF the city, where a real
cave man can't possibly get in his best
work, so he kidnaps her and takes her
to his Canadian ranch.
And there he puts his theories into
better practice. And the results in the
end are excellent Catherine is sub
dued enough to make her charmingly
possible, but not until both she and her
husband have passed through several
thrilling situations.

Then he quickly told the comts
what had happened during the night
in the Hotel des Observation-Disclosures
"You are sure, at least, that you
did not miss him?' asked the lat
ter.
The Hindoo began to laugh.

'rWelIr" cried the comte, I'm
not sorry that 1t Is over. A good
riddancei without mentioning the
fact that 1 was beginning to get
strangely jealous OF that young
greenhorn"
"Jealous?" laughed the other.

that Julistts was gradually taking

The Money Cowry.

The occurrence of the money
cowry in ireland and England has a
curious origin. This species, q ma

Some years ago it was very album
dant on the coast OF CUmber-

river. The specimens are believed
to have come from the Glendowra,
q vessel wrecked off Seascale in a
fog in 1873. She was homeward
bound from Manila and carried
sixty tons of cowTies as part of her
cargo. AS this means about seventy
million shells it may well be that
money cowries will be picked up on
our northwestern coasts for many
years to come. Those found earlier
on the coasts of Down, Ireland,
were supposed to have come from
