PICTURESQUE SCENES. Corner" Shows Homes of Creat and Hovels of Poor. "The Corner," which is the new Triangle-Ince production at the Ar cade theatre Wednesday and Thurs day, is a play that is interesting to all sorts and conditions of men and wom en. It will( appeal to the refined and luxury loving class, for it is full of .scenes showing interiors of a million aire's home. There is a quiet tone of (elegance in every article of furniture or ornament. David 'Walton, the rich speculator (George Fawcett). is shown in both evening dress and busi ness uppairel. His wife appears in stunning gowns and has the manner of the well-born. Then the plot is interesting in its novelty of theme and the unexpected ness of its denouement. There is a great susponse in tho action and an audience holds its breath in critical scenes. There's a run on a bank -when men and women rush madly to una lro as they lour that their pitifu! savings will be swept away. Then there is a long bread line. A groat climax is the scene where John Adams Willard Mack) decoys Walton to his own ware-house, overpowers him and leaves him concealed there after bind ing him hand nnd foot. Then Walton in his struggles brings a great avalanche of cans nnd boxes down in tt hcapr burying him completely.

La Grande, Oregon shadow and gloom and those who live on the sunny side of the street. These shadowed ones are sometimes called pessimists, sometimes peoplo of melan sholy temperament; sometimes they aro called dlsagreeablo people. 'But, wherever they go, their characteristic Is this their shadows always travel on before them. These peoplo never bear their own burden, but expose all their wounds to others. , They are all so busy looking down for pitfalls and sharp stones and thorns on which to step that they do not even know that there are any stars In the sky. These folks live on tbo wrong side of tho street. And yet it Is only twenty feet across to the other sidewalk, where sunshine always lies. Newell Dwlght rilllls. ' Divorces In Ancient Rome. In the earlier period of tho liomun republic divorces were quite unknown uinl were rare right up to the time of the Sullun wars. In the old days tho husband. and wife who wished to sep arate appeared for the last time before the common hearth, a priest and priest ess being present. As on the day of marriage, a cake of wheaten flour was presented to the husband and wife, but Instead of sharing it hetwedh them they rejected it. Then Instead of pruyers they pronounced formulas of a strange, severe, spiteful character, by which the wife renounced the worship and gods of the husband, From that moment the religious bond was broken, and, tho community of worship hav ing censed lo exist, the mnrrla'go with- I out further ado was forever dissolved Exchange. one of the best officers of Napoleon.

Of what a slm pliclty! j Ways of the Mole. No animal Is more wonderfully adapt ed to Its kind of life than is the mole. Moleskin is famous for Its exquisite smoothness and softness. Tho finest velvet cannot bear comparison with it. ThU Is evidently a provision of nature for enabling tho little animal to puss rapidly through Its narrow under ground galleries without Impediment or friction, going backward or forward with equal ease. It fits its burrow like a piston and pushes Itself swiftly with hind feet The burrows nnd nests, too, are lined with fine, soft vegetable libers. New York Journal. Built For the Strenuous Life, They Are Never Weary. In "Insects, Their Life Histories and Habits," Harold Bastln, the entomolo gist, says that, contrary to popular be lief, spiders are not insects. Insects have six legs, neither more nor less, and another peculiarity of tho Insect Is that it has wiugs, sometimes .two, more often four. Spiders have eight legs and no wings: therefore spiders are not Insects. Insects have no backbones and no skeletons, says Mr. Bnstln, but skins with a hard, durable surface called chltln. which makes up a light shell of armor that forms the outside, of tho body, to the Inside of which the mus cles ure attached. Insects do not breathe through their mouths. tut through holes In their bodies, called spiracles. Insects have neither veins nor arteries. The blood Is pumped directly from the chambered heart Into the body cavity, where it bathes and nourishes the organs. In sects have wonderful and enviable di gestive orguns and feed upon and di gest ulmost any substance from which nourishment may be extracted. Because of the way they are bullt.in sects are particularly fitted for tho strenuous life, and a tired Insect is a thing unknown. Tbey aro always busy traveling, buzzing, biting or seeking some work to do. A "Primitive" Painter. Henri Rousseau, a man who used to bold a minor government position in France, was for a quarter of a century tho Joke' of artists and art students in Paris. .For years in the independent salon ho showed daubs which bad not the most distant kinship with art. Some of his "famous" pictures were a "Lady on a Sofa In a Jungle." a "Tiger In a Jungle." a "Nigger In a Jungle." He affected jungles, which consisted of Innumerable parallel green lines to rep resent grass; the tiger was a painted wooden toy; tho lady looked as it she bad come out of Noah's ark. The un fortunate Rousseau went on exhibiting the same sort of work every year, and the painful .thing was that be gradual ly became a celebrity. Sinister humor ists told him he bnd genius, and he took himself quite seriously. "I am a real primitive." he would say. Some practical jokers even went the length of buying his pictures.

Portuguese Burial Custom. They have an unusual mode of burial In Portugal. Instead of the headstones and monuments of the graveyards of other countries the cemetery of Lisbon shows rows and rows of tiny chapels ranged In long avenues bordered by cypress trees. The Portuguese are reluctant to bury their dead out of sight, and these chapels serve as mor tuaries for the coQins, which are placed on the shelves within. Throegh the Iron grills tho eye discerns small al tars and flowers gleaming through the subdued light of the interiors. Man chester Courier. In Its Grateful Shade. "I have aimed at health nnd happi ness. When confronted with a for midable obstacle," said Sir George Reld on bis seventieth birthday. "I have al ways first tried to knock It over.
