A Wonderful Exhibition.
Lyman H. Howe presented the most
wonderful and Interesting display of
moving pictures at the Lyric Theatre
last evening that has ever been seen
tn this city. The display was arranged
In four groups interspersed with over
tures by the orchestra and by a clever
and Interesting act of clay moulding by
Jay Paige. Tho selections of each
group were calculated to please the
most fastidious. Thore were some ad
mirable marine plotures, military scenoa
and funny displays. The Pan-Amorl-can
views and the sad scones surround
ing the late President McKtnley's fatal
trip to Buffalo were exceptionally Inter
esting and natural pictures. Much
amusomont was created by a number of
magical and trick views, as well as some
funny situations such as "Some Disad
vantages of Living In a Flat," "The
Burlesque Tumblers'' and "Phenomenal
Wrestling." There was a clever ar
rangement of the pictures to relieve the
monotony and the audionce apparently
appreciated the exhibition, judging by
the liberal applause. A return data
with an entiroly new set of pictures
was announced for a later date In the
season. Daily City Item, Allontown,

The actor being, like Shylock, a Jew,

how he meant to do the "Imprecation

covering that Jessica baa fled with

mother, Mrs. Shylock.

Upon the actor's saying be wni
wrong, Irving rejoined that be bad fol
lowed the stnge direction In the book,
and that all the best Shylocks so did It,
as the Keans, Brooke, Fechter and
rhelps.
"Yes," said the actor, "but they were
all Christians. A Jew tn Imprecating

Irving adopted tho bint.
Soon afterward a well known London
solicitor, also a Jew, who bad seen the

that he bad not before been aware that
Irving was "one of us," and be refused

Family Pnrni at ih Jenkinses',
A Uarlem woman recently decided
that family prayers were really neces
sary to the proper bringing up of her
young son Johnnie. Mr. Jenkins, nom
inal head of the family, didn't exactly
see the necessity, but, of course, yield
ed to bis wife. The next morning aft
er breakfast the Jenkinses assembled
In the sitting room with a feeling of
suppressed excitement at the novel pro
ceedings. After the Scriptural reading
they knelt beside a long sofa, Mr. Jen
kins at one end, Mrs. Jenkins at the
other and Johnnie In the middle. Then
Mr. Jenkins offered up a prayer Invok
ing the divine presence.
Jenkins' prayer was long and fervent
After It bad continued for Ave minutes
Johnnie got restless, decided It was too
monotonous and Interrupted In bis thin,
boyish voice with:
"Yes, Dod; come and stay to dinner!"
Mr. Jenkins concluded bis Invocation
with an abrupt "Amen I" Johnnie safe
ly out of the way, be strangely remark
ed to his wife. "That's the limit!"
Family prayers have been abandoned

Flahlnar Hooks.
Fishing books are as old as Adam,
made of stone, bone, thorns and any
old thing, not to mention deer born nod
boars' tusks. The bronze hook of the
bronze age was succeeded by the book
of Iron. The aborigines of Colombia
used gold books, while the ancient peo
pie of Ieru made theirs of copper. 1'be
bronze hook of today Is considered an
expensive luxury. For years the most
Important scat of fishhook manufac

once popular Limerick has been super
seded by several styles of American
moke that are not only much cheaper,
but are not Inferior. As for our line

W1I4 Zebras.
The zebra when wild Is a ferocious
animal, and an unwary bunter Is likely
to suffer from Its teetb and hoofs. The
author of "Kloof and Karroo" says that
a Boer In Cape Colony bad once forced
a zebra to the brink of a precipice.
wben the desperate creature turned tip
on him, attacked him with Its teetb and
actually tore one of his feet from tho
leg.
Another author writes of a soldier
wbo mounted a half domesticated ze
bra. The creature, after making the
most furious attempts to get rid of Its
rider, plunged over a steep bank Into
the river and threw the soldier as It
emerged.
While the man lay half stunned upon
the ground the zebra quietly walked up
to him and bit off one of bis ears.
The Penalty of Betas? Idle.
Idleness Is at the bottom of the
drunkenness, gluttony and sensuality
which compass the destruction of one
section of the community at the present
time. It Is at the bottom of that partic
ular form of heartache which Is the
plague of women the heartache of a
purposeless, miserable existence. Such
women often look forward to marriage
to cure them, but wben they are mar
ried and settled the old malady recurs.
and In our own day we see them run
Ding hither and thither after that elu
sive something. Others try to find a
cure In the suffrage and others again In

A Shock to Richer.
Mabel had been waiting for ber tor
er's return for what seemed to ber an
age. Her heart turned to stone as she
thought of blra, young, slender, but
brave to rashness and recklessness,
closeted alone with her stern father In
the grim old library. The door opened
at Inst, and be stood before ber, a flush
on his cheeks and an expression In bis

"Did you see papa, ItlchardT" she
asked with trembling eagerness. He
held her In his arms for a moment
without speAklng.
"Yes, dearest," he said at length.
"And what did he say, RIchardT Tell

Oh, your eyes tell me! He refused: he

Miiiim For Dysnepeln.
A French medical Journal cites a
number of coses where great and last
ng benefits were derived by people suf

fered from constipation and Insomnia,
He was very nervous and was con
vinced that be was about to die. After
Instituting the abdominal massage bis
condition rapidly Improved. His ab
domen, which bad resembled that of a
child with meningitis, became supple
and dally enlarged. The treatment
was not severe nor very special. His
pain disappeared, and be was able to

was shown as above.
