THEATER's ORIGIN FAR BACK
May Be Traced to Festivals Held in Honor of the MythoIoeieal
 God Bacchus.

Thinking back for the origin of any theatrical performance, our minds nat urally revert first to Shakespeare and his Globe theater. Some of us would go back a little further; and many of us would choose Moliere, the plays he wrote and staged, often in the open, for the vain Louis and then, in his own theater, where, while he was the fla vorite of the king, he was the rage of France.
 But these were only steps in the evolution of the theater and the play. For the origin of all dramatic repre- sentations we must go back to the days of idol worship, when many gods were thought to rule the destinies of man.
 Two brothers, Danaus and Aegyptus, sons of Belus, shared the throne of Egypt After a particularly heated quarrel, Danaus, with his followers, set sail in search of new land where he could rule alone. They landed near the Greek city of Argus, of which he shortly became king.
 Here, to celebrate his good fortune, he instituted festivals in honor of the god Bacchus, who was supposed to have helped to make his undertaking successful. These festivals consisted of nothing more than riotous reyelry, interspersed with songs, which, after the manner of the day, were most primitive and often coarse.
 But the festivals soon became very popular and were held periodically all over Greece. From this beginning, in the form of a kind of public worship, which was the first entertainment or performance known, evolved the the atrical projects of later ages which de veloped into the institution of the theater as we know it today.

Laundry of the Millionaire.

Order is pleasant If I were a mill lionaire-which I thank heaven am not, nor scarcely miliionth part of one-I should take pleasure in the silent orderliness that shadowed me through my home Those invisible hands that patted out the pillows and shined the shoes and picked up every thing, even the Sunday newspapers those I should enjoy. I should enjoy especially the guardian angel who hid from me the casualties of the laundry and put the surviving laundry away. In heaven there is no laundry, or mending of laundry. For the million aire the laundry is sent and the laun- dry Is sorted away, blessed be the name of the millionaire, envy him little else-except, perhaps, his linen sheets.-New Republic.

BASIS FOR PORK PRODUCTION
One Source of Failure Is That Many Follow It as Speculation Rather
 Than Business.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Recent heavy slumps in the hog market. as well as the high prices of corn, have caused hog raisers in va rious parts of the country to reduce the number of sows in their herds, ac- eording to reports received. But hog raising on the farm should be made stable, regular business, department specialists believe. The man begin ming to raise hogs should resolve to follow 1t year in and year out, regard less of the price he may obtain for his hogs or the cost of the feed which he converts into pork Like every other farming activity pork production has its ups and downs, but, according to longtime averages, the farmer who sticks realizes fair and dependable profit, the specialists declare.
 One source of failure is that too many follow it as a speculation rather than as business. They plunge on hogs just as they would gamble on grain futures or on the stock market. Operations of this character are never beneficial for any business. Because of the recent decline in the hog mar ket 1t does not necessarily follow that the selling price of the pigs that will be raised from the sows bred this fall will not be satisfactory. The pigs of this fall will not be. ready for year and untold changes may come about. - Every farmer who is conservative, careful, and painstaking in his hog raising operations is able after few years of experimentation to determine approximately the maximum and min imum number of sows that he. can maintain on his farm at the greatest net profit. When he has accurately aseertained this number he should breed. that many sows every year, other conditions being equal. In ad- herring to this plan the farmer is, in | no sense, a speculator, but is fin real ity a business man practicing common sense business management.

PICTURESQUE IN THEIR RUIN
Famous old Abbeys and Priorles Abound in the English County
 of>YorkshIre.

When it comes to selecting the re- zion of abbeys and priories. in England there is but one county to think of. That county Is Yorkshire, which has no less than 25 famous abbeys and priories within Its boundaries, several of them renowned all over the world as being the finest and most beautiful ruins and scenes one can possibly ex- pect to view In this connection.
 Twenty-Five, at least, of these beauty spots, the ancient founders of religious houses selected in Yorkshire centuries ago. Of course not all those 25, in their ruins and environment, are so amazingly beautiful and picturesque today. Klrkstall abbey, charming as 1t still appears in certain ways, is too much overshadowed by the smoke of Leeds and the murlzy, evil-smelling water of the Aire. But when the old monks first came to this abbey, the vale where it rested was almost surely as delightful as Fountains wondrous scene is tOdayl However, most of the Yorkshire abbeys even yet retain their pristine delightful surroundings, their fairylike loveliness, and have thus won a worldwide renown, and are visited by tens of thousands of folk from every quarter of the globe year by year.

Warned by sandpaper Label.

A device for protecting people from taking doses from poison bottles by mistake is a sandpaper label. The ordinary label is pasted on a piece of sandpaper large enough to go all round the bottle, so that when anyone : takes up the bottle in the night, no matter how dazed from sleep he may be, the rough unfamiliar feel of the sandpaper rouses him and he recog- nizes at once that the bottle contains poison of some description The printed label tells the kind of poison in the bottle.

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Every colt raised will be one more work animal to help till farms.
 Better nose ring for the young bull than an accident after it is too late.
 Pasture is by no means luxury for live stock It is now recognized as a necessity.
 Silage is a good feed for most all classes of stock, but is more popular as feed for cattle and sheep.
 No other farm animals put on flesh as economically as pigs with given amount of feed. Every farmer should have few pigs.
 Teach the calf to eat grain early Calves are imitators. If an older calf knowing how to eat grain. is in the pen with the smaller ones these will soon learn to eat grain.

The tall, slender. willowy girl who
affects taileur costumes is indeed
fascinating to look upon. Nothing
Is smarter or more distinctive thar
a perfectly tailored suit or frock.
BY tailored I do not mean the So
we're mannish clothes some women
wear with their stiff collars and sail
or hats. I mean the very feminine
t%ailleurs which permit of a few frills
but whose simplicity Of line and cor
rect tailoring make them stand out
always as the smartest attire for
street wear.
Here is one OF the most distinctive
offerings Of the new spring season.
Long slender lines characterize this
smart navy serge and the flawless
tailoring makes it particularly ap-
peadns to| the fastidious m Its
simplicity is extreme, but that only
enhances its smartness. The frill of
cream ne which forms the revers
softens the severity of the outfit and
gives a note of color contrast which
is effective. !
A smart little chin chin hat of
black lisere straw faced with satin
is a chic topping for the suit: Burnt
orange coque feathers which have
the popular downward sweep are the
only trimming. The useful little
neckpiece of stone martin will be
found very comfortable on the raw
days which do manage to come even
in the springtime, and the patent
leather pumps cut high over the In
step are the very newest hint of
spring from the shoe shops.
