"Quo Vadia at the "Park. A dramatization of "Quo Vadis?" is beleg acted at the Park Theater. The play In different forms has been on the stage for several seasons, and judging from the large audience yesterday there are yet many persons that desire to see it. The novel had a great sale, principally becausa it Is a good adventure tale, and secondarily because it tells more or less accurately the rise of the Christians in Rome. It makes Nero a lustful, murderous Emperor and presents the Christians as marvelously virtuous and enlightened persons.

It contains, besides, several scenes of revelry. minute and exciting detail. Of course, the slow triumph of the Christians was attended by fierce controversy, but its psychology was greatly different and far moro Intricate than "Quo Vadis?" describes. The dramatization at the Park is in six acts. In the first Vlnicius tells Petronius his love for Lygia.

and Petronius prom lses to have the girl taken from the house of Plautius to that of Vlnicius. Petronius also discovers that his slave, Kunice. is sincerely in love with him. In tht second act Tigelllnus, carrying out Nero's order, takes Lygia from Plautius and i knocked down by the mighty Ursus, who is determined to accompany Lygia. The third act shows a feast at Nero's palace.

In the fourth Rome burns. The hfth act is in the Mamartlne prison and the sixth brings the death of Nero and the triumph of the Christians. Viniclus's conversion to Christianity attends the physical incidents and he and Lygia finally are jollied. Thus the sense of tht novel id crudely presented. All through the play the stage is filled with the bright colors of the scenerv and the costumes.

The pictures are fresh and elaborate. The acting, too, is as good as the play demands. Jarnos A. Young Impersonates Vinicius. Miss Lillian I-rfmeaster Is the fragile Lygia, Harry Morton is the wickedly Insane Xtro and C.

II. Farnham the generous, cynical Petronius. Hurleaone at the Kmplrr. The Eowery Burlsquers returned yesterday to the L'mpire Theater to fill out the remainder of the w-ek. The company, since it was here earlier in the season, has undergone a few- changes.

When here before a real Chinaman was in the company, but he has been dropped. lie was used to a idight advantage in the last burlesque. The alleged Chuck Connors is not advertised with this show and Ids part Is taken by Mr. Gilbert, who suffices very well. Gilbert's real part is the impersonation of a Hebrew.

Vinnie Henshaw in still with the show. In her one-act sketch with Kranci-ol she shows to a ninety how onie chorus girls carry on in their dressing rooms. Of course, after witnessing Henshaw and Kraneiola going1 through their mock fight and discussing the jealous traits in one another it nuit not be taken for granted that all 'teams" tight. This act onlv impersonates what en-curs among those who have reached the height of their ambition when they have become a chorus girl with a bur-les-ue show. Vinnie Henshaw has a batch of original talk tiiat pleases.

At the performance last during the last burlesque Torn the colored member of the show, shove Mis Henshaw Into (tue of the lower boxes occupied by three men. This should be eliminated. The stage was built expressly for the actors. The show opens with an olio, headed by the Naclrema twins In a dancing and contortion act. They are followed by llzzb Frellgh and pen Jansen in coon songs.

Gilbert and (Jnldle are well known to patrons of the Kmpire and their net still elicits applause. Others In the olio are the Taylor tri. in coon songs and comedy. Willis "and Josie Parrowl. in a hinging and dancing act.

During the past forty-eight hours the furious sweep of lorest tires iu the central section of the State has causetl a devastation to a vast amount of property, and in two cases the loss of life is attributed to the fire fiend.

BATHS IN FINLAND. nathern Are Flrwt Steamed.

Then ltolleil in the Snow. London Express. In Finland the people arc particular about bodily cleanliness; but inasmuch as the temperature is often 40 Jegrees below zero open-air bathing cannot be indulged in as it is in this country. The Finlanders, therefore, have recourse to a somewhat novel sort cf bath. It Is about fifteen feet long by twelve feet wide; boasts no windows, and only when the door is opened can air or light enter.

Every hamlet boasts one of these bathhouses, which are for common use. When you enter one you will notice that in the middle there is an oven-like structure of bowlders piled one upon the other. Along the sides of the walls are rows of seats fashioned out of the branches of trees. Apart from this the bath is devoid of furniture. Bathing day is on Saturday, and early on the morning of that day wood is brought and a fire started in the bath.

When the stones in the center become hot the fire is put out, the place Is cleaned, a large vessel of water and slender birch twigs are brought in. whereupon the preparations may be declared complete. There being no dressing rooms, toilets have to be made and unmade in the various houses. Needless to say, nobody loses any time in making the journey from the home to the bathhouse. When all the men and boys of the hamlet are in the bathhouse the loor is closed.

The water is thrown on the hot stones until th place Is filled with steam. Then the fun, from the youthful point of view, at leapt, begins. Perspiration pours from the sweltering bathers. Nevertheless, more active exercise Is demanded, so the switches come into play, each bather whacking his neighbor with a stick until "enough!" is cried. Then more water is thrown on the stones, more steam rises, and more switching is indulged in.

As you may readily imagine, not only is the blood in active circulation by this time, but the bathers' bodies are more like the color of boiled lobsters than anything else. When this happy state has been reached, all that is necessary to complete this novel form of Turkish bath is a roll In the snow and a quick scamper home. TO SAVR THE CHAIN BERRY. Experimental 11 to de Ttnllt by the Government nt Wnshinsrton. Philadelphia Record.

The Department of Agriculture is planning to build a cranberry bog about half an acre in extent, on a portion of the Arlington farm, recently turned over to it for an experimental station. On this investigations will be pursued into "cranberry scald," a disease which is threatening with extermination the cranberry industry of New Jersey, New York and New England, and which is slowly spreading into still other parts of the country. As the regions already seriously affected produce se ven-eighths of the entire yield of the country, which, a few years ago, was valued at the importance of any measures that will check the disease are apparent, not only to the growers, but also to every one who likes the berries in pies or with his turkey. Acres upon acres of ripe berries have recently been abandoned as not being worth the picking, while nearly every quart bought in market, though sorted over beforehand, is likely to have in it a few berries with rotten spots on their sides or in their interiors. Investigations by the department have now proceeded far enough to permit the statement to be made that this is due to a fungus, which, probably conveyed by the waters of the bogs, almost certainly enters the plant through its roots and penetrates to the berries, which decay inside before any external signs appear.

This fact makes useless the use of washes, sprays, so effective against most fungi, as these cannot reach the interior of the fruit. Possibly some chemical may be found which, placed upon the soil, may kill the fungi before they enter the plant. Strange to say, however, this mode of treating plant diseases has been little investigated, and there is, therefore, little knowledge on which to base hope for its success. Probably the only successful way of combating the disease and the way which the department is following as best it may, without a special appropriation for the purpose is by studying the fungus, learning its life history and finding where and when it is most vulnerable. This Is not so easy as it may seem.

Fungi are lowly plants, consisting of more or less complex masses of very line thread-like chain of cells, which are usually too small to be seen by the, naked eye. They reproduce themselves by means of very minute bodies, known as spores, which correspond to the seeds of (lowering plants and which are positively innumerable, and very easily disseminated. When they find proper conditions awaiting them they multiply with amazing rapidity. Now. so far, it has been impossible to find the cranberry scald fungus at all in its fruiting season, so that even its spore is unknown.

Possibly these mature only in the winter, when the bogs are flooded, and cannot do so at any other time. In any case the first duty of Dr. C. L. Shear, who has charge of the Investigation, will be to find some of these spores.

He already has some of the fungus growing in culture media, and hopes they will bear fruit sooner or later, although they have not yet done so. Once the spores are obtained a long step in advance will have been taken. Next they must be "fed" to uninfected plants, either at the Arlington farm or elsewhere, in various ways and under various circumstances. Some plants will be approached through the soil; others through the water; others through the air; some will be ex-posetl when leafless, others when In foliage; others when in bloom. The factors that promote or retard the development of the disease will also be studied.

It will be ascertained whether young plants or old plants are most susceptible, and what variety, if any, shows the best resisting powers to the destroyer. When these things are known, and not until then, can scientific combative measures be adopted. For the present, however, certain palliatives may be suggested. If the spores are disseminated through th" flood waters, is supposed, it is certainly unwise to start new bogs on a stream below Infected ones unless some sort of sand or other filter is interposed between the two. When an old bog is to be reset all the old vines should be burned with all other vegetable matter present with them.

The land should be plowed several times, and all the roots taken up and burned. It may be that recourse must finally be had. after all, to the use of what are known as resistant strains, to save the cranberry frmi total destruction. It often occurs that one or more plant? appear immune to a disease that destroys all their ighbors. By selecting these and prnpaaating from them, hardy varieties are often obtained that can resist the disease.

This method may finally prove the only one that is effective. The OIl Order f'hnnueth. Alexandria (S. Herald. Because Bepublican believes hat the tine- has come a revisior.

A recent news dispatch to the Herald from Fairbury, 111., told how a pioneer farmer of that enighborhood had not taken a drink of water for more than forty years. This circumstance was recited in connection with his death, after a lingering illness, at the age of sixty-eight. It seems, however, that he had partaken of water with his medicines during his fatal sickness; and the question may be raised since his previous abstaining from drugs is clearly implied whether It was the dosing or the Adam's ale that hastened his end. The frivolous-minded will here find a subject for levity, but the fact is that total abstinence from water, pure and simple, as a beverage is only a trifle less common than total abstinence from ardent liquors in Maine and Kansas. These facts seem pertinent In connection with a paper recently read by a Brookln physician at a meeting of the.

New York Vegetarian Society. After citing statistics and offering other evidence to show that ordinary water is unfit for either cooking or drinking, that boiling only condenses the impurities, and that distillation is the only rational safeguard against disease, he proceeded to demonstrate in his own person the remarkable effects of using distilled water. 4 As a consequence of Imbibing one gallon of aqua pura per day he was able, though sixty-two years of age, to stand on one foot and put the other to his fa-e a result "produced by the powerful solvent properties of distilled water in removing from the system the deposits of lime and other earthy salts and minerals, which bring on premature hardening of the tissues and stiffness of the joints."

Hut the Fairbury farmer did not know this, and so for forty years he hai done the next best thing by drinking no water at ail.

The only doubt in my mind on the subject arises from my recollections of farm life. I have seen both the cow and the hore put a foot to the face and scratch It vigorously without losing their balance. Hut, of course, they had three feet to stand on. and then the horse often drank out of the rain barrel.

Helen Gray, In Leslie's Weekly. A few weeks ugo jt was my privilege to visit one of the most splendid industrial Institutions in the Southern States, the Miller Manual Labor School, for poor white children, located on a spur of the Ragged mountains, of Albemarle county, in the-beautiful and healthful Piedmont region of Virginia. The people who inhabit the hollows of these mountains are typical of other mountaineer folks, possessing all the virtues and weaknesses generally attributed to them. Many are descendants of the R-demptioner classes of early colonial days, but the larger portion are of Hessian descent, claiming for their forebears those Hessians who. at the close of the Revolutionary war, were turned Ion from Imprisonment at Charlottesville, and sought homes among the Ragged mountains, near-by.

They are. for the most part, a hard-working people, honest, and entirely without love for the almighty dollar; but their great love of liberty breeds in them a contempt for educational advantages or steady employment of any kind. Seeing them at church on a Sunday morning, pleasant-looking ami rapt In their devotions, it becomes difficult to believe that they can be content to return to the. wretched hovels which many of them are satisfied to call their homes. Of the stock in these mountains that preceded the coming of the Hessians, came Samuel Miller, the founder of the Miller Manual Labor School of Albermarle county, which, with its line buildings and endowment fund of nearly Jl.JVjo.'rm.

Is the grandest and mot fruitful charitable Institution in the Southern States. It was no blue-bloodrd Virginian, reared in luxury, that was inspired to remember the poor children of his native county, but. the son of a poor mountaineer woman, born in a log cabin in abject poverty and degradation. From the tower of the machine shops, the lines built in -the South for industrial education, is pointed out the spot, marked by a stone, where once stood the cabin in which Samu1! Miller was born. On the grounds now graced by hi munificent gift he earned his first mony by gathering wool which stray sheep had left on the bushes, and some of the bricks In th tower he aided in making at the small remuneration of 10 cents a day.

It waa from early youth the treasured hoe of Samuel Miller and hi broth John to acquire a fortune large noi-gh to in their native county a free educational institution for poi.r children. After receiving an ordinary education at Ratesvlltr. Samuel entered into business with bla brother, who had leeoine a successful tobacco merchant in Lynchburg.
