The result U u strain . loth audience and actors. T;ic habit of going mullled to the i. in an soon us the winter uioutus vouie on, even If tho weather is not U all cold, has a bad tiffed on the Cone too strong lunu of the Spanish people. The result is that they all 'cough a treat doal. Tho thoatrus ure Dot heated, and once Inside the audi ence begins a coughing chorus, says the New York Times. The theatre buildings, as a rulo, are barnllko, bleak pluces, the Bole exceptions being the homes of Ital ian opera, such us the Toutro Heal lu UaUild. Shows begin late and wind UP late, too. For instance, In the Tenfro de San Fernando In Seville, the l est of the show houses of tho ;pla o, the show begins a little after '9 o'clock. They gave a ploce one night they, tailed "Marie Antoinette." It started out at the customary hour. At 12 'o'clirk the fourth act of nix had been finished, and tho two to como were longer than any of the others. Tickets are fold oa the sidewalk trom a window In the front wall, the ! prospective audience gathering out j there. No liuo is formed. It ia a casn of first to the window first served. Speculators nro thero, too, but Just why la not clear. They sell tickets Just as cheap as tho theatre, but like ; their American brothoren they man- age to get the best in the house. Seville is not so largo a place that It sets the best shows, but tho com pany that did "Mario Antoinette" was a very fair stock company from Mad rid. The worst feature wns a young women who took the part of the Dauphin. She was so ungraceful in knee skirts and had so homely a fu'je tiiat U;o uiwliuuco laughed even in the saddest parts when sho swung arojnd suddenly on them. 7n passing it may be mentioned ' : a butuca or orchestra circle seat -i3ville costs something like two etas seventy-five conUmos, of fifty .ts, more or less, American. That i'jdes the tax, which has to bo i ;d everywhere. The Government C'.'is ten centimes. The vaudeville houses in Madrid are many and the shows are very good and very cheap. A hard worked comic opera company gives playlets of one act, filled with dancing and blnglng specialties. There are matinees starting some times at four o'clock in the after Inoon; sometimes at 6 o'clock. They last an hour. The same company starts In at 9:15 In the evening customarily and gives three one hour pieces. That is, they are designed to last that long, but with encores they ordinarily go fifteen minutes longer. That brings it well up to 1:80 In the morning when the theatre gets out. Tickets for good seats are very cheap. A butaca in the Teatro de Price, one of tho best In Madrid, coata 1 pesata for a Blngle section, lets than 20 cents. The first show attracts very few, tho houae being almost empty. Thore Is thoroforo very little coughing done. Some persona buy tickets for the three sect le ns at once. Between the acts the ushers take tickets for the next show.' For the first two sections, the play, let and the Inevitable cinematograph lire tho attractions. The star feature is kept for the final section, because Madrid is a late to bed town and the final Instalment Is always played to a crowded house. The calm rudeness of staring one another out of countenance differs from the American variety In that tie men crowd Into tho aisles and y.ft short range views by opera glass of those near by. The custom of standing up between I acts Is general in Spain. The j theatregoers stay with their bucks to j the stage until the curtain is fairly i up. Then there la crowding, dis comfort and confusion. The Spanish theatre ticket y a tiueer slip of flimsy paper. One entf Ijis a check for entering the thoatra, 1h other und one that Is to be taken Cl when or.o gets to his neat. The ret is the property of the holder. Tho original ticket Is sometimes eight inches long. Even In the Royal Theatre the tickets are like that The Inevitable vender of lottery tickets parados the aisles botween the acta crying his waros. Newsr jpupers are hawked In the theatre3 oo, as well as magazines end can- 'dies. i Tho theatres moetly haw no g-al lcrlea. There aro many seats on the floor. Then there la a horseshoe ring a fev foot abvo these, on tho outstdo of them, whore Boats are more expensive, oofttlng about 75 cents each. Away in back, and lu the roar or th" dearer seats, too, are the po nut septs. But all are on the sum flo.ir.' There are few theatres except th very bent -which have galleries.' GHOWTIl r WOMAN'S CLlttS. At Hint Literary In Taste They Now Knihrnco a Wide Scope. Every State In the Union now has a federation of women's clubs. The growth of tho movement is shown by the fact that ten years ago thero wera but seven of theso federations with a membership not excedlng 15,000 women. To-day the 5,000 clubs in the federation have an aggregate membership of 850,000. Sorosis claims tho leadership n iho federation movement. It callnd a meeting of clubs in 18S9 for niu tiicl Improvement. The following jear there were several State federa tions formed, and at the first blen r.lnl meeting of the body known as the General Federation of Women's Clubs., in Philadelphia, in 1894, fWj Elate federations were represented. The honor of being the oldest wo men's club In the United States was ono time claimed by both the Sor ossis o New York and the Woman's Club of Boston. Bach of theso were founded in 1868. But Investigation proved that the club movement came out of the West. The I.adles' Lib rary Society of Kalamazoo, Mich., was founded in 1852, and the Min erva Club of New Harmony. Ind. iu 1859. Closely following these four pion eers came other clubs. Tho Ladies' Physiological Institute of Boston has the distinction of being the first and only woman's club that had a man for president, Prof. C. P. Bronson serving in this capacity and belnsr remembered In duo season by his grateful followers In the presont of a new suit of clothes. The first clubs were generally giv en to the study of literature, but tradually their ecopo was enlarged, and now the women's clubs are as diversified In their alms and char acter as are those of the men. Thoy ire interested In everything under the lun, and in some of theso larger cities exult In clubhouses that rival the homes of the men's clubs. Neat House Gown.

M .A Mlnloter Treats It From a Sclera tlflo Standpoint. According to the Itcv. Hobcrt John Flood, a member of the American As sociation for the advancoinvnt of Sci ence, the Sabbath was an established institution In prehistoric times by peo ples scattered tho world over. It first originated from moon-worship, Naluro worahlpors picked Iho seventh day as pacred becattee tire new phase of tho moon appeared on the averago every ovent!i day. All nations with whom tho Hebrews camo In contact observed this and cnt custom. Tho Israelites from their Intimate relation with the Canaan Ilea and .Babylonians, rrrnst It In a mould of their own. It was kept on tho seventh day of the moon and was an atonement day. The various pro inuglattons concerning the Sabbath, basod on the release from the Egyp tians, the travails of the Exile, cul ml.iated In the Prleatly Code glvn to tho Jews after their return from captivity. This rode commanded thom to keep holy tho Sabbath beoauBe God rested tire seventh day from his crea tive work, which perfected the Jew ish Sabbath. It became an absolute day of rest. For the first time a pen. nlty was added for tho violation r.f tho command to rest. After the Bab ylonian captivity tho moon lost it3 distinction and only the Sabbath was kept sacrod, which bocarrfe the Itah blnical Sabbath of the New Testament times. Tho Sabbath was not designed to last forever. It was a ceremonial and lift, a moral law. A new dispensa tion was Inaugurated when Christ ar ose from the dead, tho completion of His redemptive work. Tho Sabbath rost day finished its mission with the resurrection. The resurrection day brought too much Joy to be soon for gotten, so all Jews and G'entlles hon ored the day, rot. as a nacred but as a memorial day. Tho growth of Sun day observance 13 outlined. The practice of Lord's d?.y keeping was mado a law of tho Stato in A. D. .".21. under Constantino, nnd tho first law enjolnltic; complete rest was mado by the Council of Orleans, A. I). 538. Mr. Flood drrlos tho Puritanical Sunday. It should he tnuro a day of joy Instead of gloom. Children should not be denied their toys, game.-, and nmusomvuts. They should have music and rcreutlon, tho free use cf the whole house, Including tho dark ened parlors. H"e urges tho Christian to set an oxnmpl for the faithful oc cupation of the day. Knforce the Sun day law by public opinion, but U30 moderation In resortlni? to IsRal en forcement. Uso the liw only as a "nst resort, and that only when tho com munity Is practically a unit In Its Judgment of tho justice of tho caso. Ho thinks little Is to bo accomplished by arbitrarily forcing a community to rest on Sunday. Rather stir up and lift the moral life and insist, u; on the observance of tho day brcauso of the beneflclent effort upon tho peo ple. MICROBE OF WHOOPING COUGH. Some Prospect of Finding Antidote for This Disease. In the last 20 years the microbe of whooping cough has been the subject of Inquiry and of contradiction; a very largo number of micro-organisms having been assigned the undesirable distinction of causing this extremely Infectious malady. M. M. Bordet and Gongou contribute a papor which con clusively disposes of all preexisting clalni3, and aeatgns tho part of dis ease producer to the real criminal. This micro-organism they disinterr ed from tho dvpths of the bronchial tubes, where it can lie dormant, and produco Its maleflclent effects with out dnfr of expulsion by an ordin ary ciub'h. It is j br.cillus or an ov oid ehapo, more cf less elongated, and somotlru'os not unlike a mlcrococus In appearance, though In general fairly constant In shapo. They have made cultures of tho micro-organlrm; and thvy find that It cannot be agglutinated by the sorutn of ordinary persona, or by thoso who have had whooping cough at a rs mcto porlod. The serum of children recii'tly rocovcred from tho malady has, however, a moderately agglutinat ing (-fleet on the colonies of tho mi crobe, so that there Is some prospuct of finding at some time or other an antidote against the Infection.

DKCLIXK IX WOOL CLII So lronpect of Any Increnwe In Aust ralian Output. Boston, Aug. 1. A domestic clip from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 pounds less than last year's and do cldodly short of staple and no pros pect of any Incrrnso In the Austral ian clip to come on tho market thit fall, Is the way tho wool situation ' ptzed up hero. The return of buyer from tho West and tho comparing of tho notes makes It clear that tho clips of Utah, Idaho, Oregon nnd Montana are all lesa than last year's; Wyoming Is short of staple If not of weight, while no section has any sur plus abovo last year's crop to help out tho deficiency. Of the total deficit, ono half Is at tributed to Montana and tho high prices of lamb and mutton nro cred ited with being an Influential factor In the matter. So long as ranchmen enn make more money by selling their sheep to the butchers than by growing wool, there can be no chnnga In the situation. Besides the short age of the clip, a vast quantity of wool has been bought on tho ranches by manufacturers' ngentB and a lot move sold to manufacturers early -y dealers. NKW YOUK MARKETS.
