A most notable fvent, counted from tSe great dramatic successes of the latter part of last season, and one which promises to surpass any of the hits of this one, will be the presentation of . Neil Twomey's dramatization of Gene Stratton-Porter's greatest success, 1 "Freckles", which will.be the attrac-1 lion at the Masonic theatre on March 10. A. 0- Delamater, who has in the past given to the stage some of its most worthy siccesses is resp nsible for its stating, and as in "Beverly ", and others, nas left n rthing to be sug- gcutcd in company, scenery and eRectr, When it is remembers that "Freckles" has been read by over a million souls, that it proved the best of the best sellers, the great demand to see It on the stage, with its living, breathing characters, is really understood. There is an in tense desire to see "Freckles" the nameless waif, to follow him through his adventures in the great "Llmbcr lost" swamp, with his engaging per sonality, and his love story with, Hi he Angel" i to become acquainted with his benefactor, McLean; to see Mrs. Duncan, with her motherly love for "Freckles," and alt the ether well drawn characters There are tears to be shed over the vicissitudes of this hero's life, and there are many laughs coming from his quaint philosphy and ready wit. The Norfolk Southern Raiiway Com pany is making an improvement at their loading shed on South Front street by placing a quantity of oyster shells in front of the building on the section used as a driveway. SHORTHAND WRITING. "Stenography" Net the Only Name by Which It I Known, Shorthand writing la known by other names than "stenography." "Tachygra phy" Is ouly one of them. Its second part, of course, comes from the same root as the latter end of "stenography" -that Is, from the Greek "grapho," meaning to write, Tachy" is derived from the Greek "tachy eJ meaning swift; so only the shorthand writer who has the ability to take down rap id speech and transcribe it quickly has the right to call herself or himself a "tachyerapher." (The "ch" sound Is like that of "k.") "Stenography" comes from "grapho" combined with "stenos," which means "narrow" In Greek. So a "stenogra pher" Is either a narrow writer or sho or be practices "narrow writing." Not so many years ago we heard a good deal about "phonography" ns a name for shorthand writing, but the term seems to have gone out of use. It comes from that some useful root "grapho," combined with "phonos." The latter word means "sound," so that n pbonographer Is one who writes down sound ns he hears It The pho nograph is, of course, an Instrument for writing or recording sound. Then there are "brachygrnphy" "ste ganograpby" and "logography" as oth er names for what we generally call stenography. In the order given they are derived from "grapho" combined with "brachys," meaning "short;" "ste ganos," meaning "covered;" "secret" (n Stenographer Is one who writes in cryptic or mysterious writing, not to be rend by the uninitiated) and "logos," meaning "speech."

They are Cupid's light to guide lovers, souls of ancient soltllers, the devil's snare to tempt wanderers to death. In their light of magic gold with n tiut of emerald green the Jap anese see stars of hope, sorrows of broken hearts, the everlasting spirits of warriors, but, most of all, the Joys of.love and lovers. Whenever they see the glimmering faint green light of fireflies hovering over the stream running into. the dark ness of night the Japanese dream of love and loving hearts. The light of flreflles is the guide of lovers goln along the narrow paths to meet their sweethearts. The Japanese fireflies are much lar ger and give brighter and more stendy light than those seen In Europe or America. In old days many poor Jap anese students, nimble to buy candles, were wont to gather flreflles lu n bag and read their books by their light The Ilotnrii kngo (firefly cage), made of One laces, placed on the veranda gives almost as bright a light ns the larare stone lantern, but much more quaint and dreamy. Fireflies are plentiful everywhere In Japan. They are not at nil afraid of human beings and will often alight upon the dress and even on the hair or hands. It Is not seJdom that fire flies fly Into one's pockets or sleeves. Hock Joya In Strand. Giant Sharks. While the whale Is regarded ns the largest of creatures that haunt the sen. there nre some sharks that can tf compared iu size wtlb the former anl mals. These (riant shnrks, however nre very rare and are kfiovi'n under the name of (he great whale shark and the basking shark. The former, which attains a length of fifty feet. Is found off the const tif India. Peru and Lower California. The letter's most favorite haunt Is the Arctic ocenn,- but it Is also found near, the great whale shark. These monsters, curiously enough, are quite harmless. Their teeth nre very small, and they feed on tiny matter that flonls on the surface of the sen. This matter the fish strains through Its enormous gill rakers. First Man Dressmaker.
