Sam Devere has a good variety company, and a crowded house at tbe Academy last evening testified to this fact. Everybody was pleased from start to finish of the per formance, and every artist did her or his part very well indeed. It is a return visit of the company, ana tneir entnusiasuo re ception last evening was very flattering to them. As society sketch artists, McAvoy and Bogcrs are good and above the average, Harding and Ah Sid, "the clown and the Chinaman," are highly amusing, and the Kelson sisters aro just as entertaining as any two female variety performers can be. Bowe and Bentz and Byan and Bichfield are worth seeing. The two last named have a very clever new act named "444." A troupe of eight Japanese performed some remarka ble juggling feats. One of their number did a rone trick that was really wonderful. He walked up a rope stretched from the stage to the top gallery, and slid down on his feet Of course the "whistling coon" was there, just as happy and jolly as ever, with his banjo.

An Englishman, visiting a gentleman in this city, said he had noted the lack of titled nobility In American society. The nearest approach to nobility he had lound was Camellia," the Queen of Flour. "It seems to me." said ho, "that every lady In this State must do homage to her, for whenever I sit down to dinner abont the first thing I hear Is that the dellclonsly light and white bread before me is made from Camellia." His hostess reminded him that Americans recog nized no queen but this queen or the kitchen, who had always proven their best servant instead of their tyrant. Give bera trial.

Daring the past few months, Mrs. Margaret Bethel has been living at Bralnerd, Minn. She Is the widow of a Methodist' clergyman of the Louisville, Ky., conference, and has many prominent friends In religious circles. A week ago she wrote the following remarkable letter: "For years my life was such a' burden that I almost prayed to lay It down. I have lived in fearful agony, caused by neuralgia In the head and rheumatism of the whole body. 'Every two weeks I had to take to my bed with such terrible pain In the head and back of my neck that It seemed as if I would go crazy. For da s I would be so weak that I could scarcely walk. "Several physicians tried In vain to help me. But nothing did me any good until about a year ago. Since then I have had hardly an attack of the neuralgia, and my rheumatism is entirely cured. I thank God for Palne's celery compound, the only,thing that helped me, and the sole means of my cure. "I wish I could command language that would express my gratitude td those who prepare this compound, for the great benefit I have derived from Its use. I can only say, may the Giver of all good bless and prosper them. "I am able to do harder work, and more of It, to-day than for twenty-flve years, and am really enjoying life again, thanks to Palne's celery com pound. May many poor sufferers be led to use this remedy." The St. Paul Globe, in commenting upon the case, says: Here In St. Paul there are many who have proved by personal use that Palne's celery compound Is a remedy that cures. It is a scientific preparation, the discovery of Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth col lege, and has done more to lessen suffering and heal disease than any other medicine known, it Is folly for anyone who Is sick, weak, or debilitated not to try this pure compound.

The doctor says AVOID GREASE and the result is unpalata ble food. The reason the physician objects to grease is because lard is the article most used, and every phy sician knows that hog lard in any shape is unhealthy and indigestible. Every one interested in pure and healthful foodhails with joy the new product COTTOLENE which is composed of pure cottonseed oil and pure beef suet nothing else not even salt It is better than either lard or butter for all cooking oses, and one pound of Cottolene will do as much as two pounds of' lard or butter, and it costs less-than either.
