Watts says the consumer saves 14 per cent. in fuel, decreases the emeunt of sparks thrown out Snd reduces the work of the fireman, besides consuming the smoke.

Sw A THEATER CALL-DOWN In New York the other night, at a fashionable theater, a box was Aled with some society snobs whose manners were as brief as the women's cortages, They were there to be seen. Incidentally, they visited, It is doubtful if they gave the o mon herd « thought. Wad they been lees prominent, a bouncer would have shown them the door, Other persons were there to see and hear the show. They had paid for their seats. They were not in society. Thetr women did not show their shoulders and busts, and the im wore every-day gentie- men. Finally, a man arose. He pointed a finger at the visiting and gig- sling delegation in the box, end, in concise English, invited them to shut up or get out. They were thick-skinned enough to remain In thelr seats after the rebuke, and sensible enough to accept the advice, There is @ moral in it. There is no particular reason why a theater-goer should leave his or her manners at home. ‘The purchaser of a ticket buys « common right to see what there to be seen, and hear what there Is to hear, Anything beyond that i. infringement on the rights of others, If you feel that you or she must visit, go out between the acts and visit. ‘There is very little In the average theater conversation that will not keep, and some of it might well be suppressed without utterance, it you do not like the actors and the play, or you do not think De Wolf Hopper can hold & eandie to Andrew Mack, and the plece,-in your es- timation, doesn't come up to something you saw once in Boston, take ® minute to remember that the audience, as a whole, doesn't know you or eure for your views on any subject whatsoever; that there will be time enough for conversation later, an@ while the show t# in pregress, keep quiet.
