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.

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

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
