On the Boards.

The beautiful American comedy
sCiouds was rendered before q
large and appeciatIve audience last
Thursday night. Tho performers
acted their parts with more than
ordinary ability and success. The
excellent rendinon OF the double
character Stella Gordan " and
" Amy Lee" by Miss Adah Pettey
was a pretty piece OF acting, al
though, at times u little more pa
thos and enthusiasm would have
added intensity to the interest.
Miss Maggie Smith as the innocent,
unsophisticaled " Eola Wimtcrly y
jnst IN her teens, captivated the
audience by her artless. winsome
ways. Miss Frances Ii. Morris n
/" Ella Randall" Miss Lura Roun-
tree AS "Cora Adair." Mrs. Laura
B. Robinson 10 Miss Prim" and
Mas Matte Speed AS Mrs. NAL
vernon were splendid personations
of the characters represented, ard
we question very much if these
characters could haze been better
p-rsona,ed by any amateurs IN the
state. The male characters were
well cast, and each deserve credit
for the mastery manner in which
they acquitted themselves. Save
the necessity for frequent prompt
me in some of the most difficult
scenes, (Which is accounted tor by
the very short time in which the
play was prepared) each perform
er displayed histrionic talents OF
which they may well feel proud
and which Was attes,ed by the fire
qnent applause of discriminating
audience. Taking j, VII in all, it
sas a highly creditable perform
ance, and was wetl received by the
audience.

American Physique.

1t has been. and is with large class
of people to-day, generally received
opinion that Americans us {. whole are
deficient in physical development. The
ideal Jonathan, Il lean and withal wiry
specimen of humanity, has oeen popu-
l.lrly looked upon us the typical Amcri-
can citizen; but let us see if this theory
is borne out by adequate evidence. A
distinguished lecturer connected with
the Harvard Medical School recently
stated before one of his classes that, on
Il careful comparison of the vital statis-
tics of school children in this country
with those of the same class in Eng land,
he found the Americans slightly superior
to their English cousins in strength and
stature. This statement, coming rs it
does from so high IN authority, must be
q surprise even to many scientific men.
The fact is there has been Il vast change
in the physical condition of American
citizens during the past half century.
The statistics of our army surgeons
in the late war show that our native
soldiers were taller and stouter than
their comrades from England, Ireland
or Germany. All our representative
men of late years, with few exceptions,
have been men Of magnificent physique.
The members of our present Congress
are remarkable in this respect, and un-
doubtedly afford the finest spectacle OF
physical development to be found among
existing legislative bodies.

A Leap for Life.

While 4 laborer was engaged in man.
aging large wooden box used for hoist
ing brick at the stacks being erected at
the Paxton furnaces, near Harrisburg.
Pa, he met with IN escape in peri!ouS
situation that pell laps never occurred
before under similar circumstances. a
load of brick had been delivered to the
top of the stack, then ut the height OF
one hundred and forty feet, and the
laborcr in question was standing on the
edge of this wall rising to this immense
altitude. guiding the ascending bucket
to keep it in the center of the stack. In
doing this he had to lean forward to
catch the rope, thus poising himself over
the fearful chaSm. In this position,
when the box had descended about
twenty feet, the man lost his hold of the
rope while still bending forward. 1t
was 4 moment of terrible peril and
awful horror, in which presence of mind
alone saved him. The man instant y

The effect was tremendous, .iarring the
man severely, but singular to say, not
doing him any serious injury. But what
IN escape! Had the man fallen and
even CAUGHT an outside hold of the box,
he would have been either torn to
pieces in swagging against the wall. or
crushed beneath the heavy box when It
reached the ground.

COlOr.BlindneSs.

Color-bnndnesS, says an exchange, has
been much talked about of late. and its
existence has been conclusively proved.
Out of large number of railroad men
employed on the roads convcrging ut
philadelphia, who were examined by
DR.. Keyser, of the Pennsylvania Medical
Society, 81 per cent. miStook colors one
for the other, andS1 per cent. were inca
pable Of distinguishing shades of colors.
Prof. Wilson, of Edinburgh, found that
one person in twenty, or five pei. cent.
pf those examined, was color-blind. In
Switzerland. III railroad employees out
of 1858 were discharged for color-blind-
ness. and on the Paris and Lyons railroad
ten per cent. were affected in the same
way The Marine Hospital Service has
recently issued circular, with the APP
proval of the Secretary of the Treasury,
offering to examine seamen ut all ports
where officers of the service are station
ed. without expense to the Seamen or the
masters of vessels. The examination
covers al physical defects, including
those of vision, and certificates Of fitness
orreiection will be given, and 4 record
of all examinations will be placed on
file with the Surgeon-General of the
Marine Hospital Service at Washington.
DR.. B. Joy Jetiries, of Boston, who ap-
peared before the railroad committee of
the Massachusetts Legislature last win
ter, and testified rs to the prevalence and
danger of color blindness, has made one
convert, the Boston and bingham Steam
boat Company. whose employees he has
lately examined for color r-blindness.

Area and Population of Texas.

Texas has q vast domain. Between
the Sabine river on the east, the Red
river on the West, and the 400 miles of
coast line on the south you inclose 3d.
900 square miles, or over It's, 600, 600 acres
of territory. This one State is larger
than the Kingdom of great Britain, larger
than France, and larger than the German
Empire. You could carve out of Texas
thirty-fve States as large rs Massachu-
setts, or nearly six as large as New York.
Place the six New England States on
Texas, and you have covered but little
more than one-fourth of the Great State.
Add all the Middle States and still you
have covered only about two-thirds.
Not till you have combined Maryland,
Virginia and Ohio with the Middle and
New England States, do you equal the
immense area of Texas.
And this "lone star" is not so lonely
US some may imagine. 1t already has a
population of 100000, and the mar
velous immigration now pouring into
the State increases the number at the
rate of 100000 a year. These new set
tiers are mostly from the Northern States
and from Europe Well. let them come

A New Cooperative Experiment.

Necessity has always been the bright
mother Of invention, writes Jennie June
fro New York to the Baltimore ADleri-
Gun, and thus unpleasant circumstances
are not infrequently the parents of bril-
liant ideas Which lead to the happiest re-
suits. The other morning the inmates Of
fashionable side streets up town awoke
and breakfast. The house had been
taken furnished two weeks before, and
filled up with q very nice class of board
ers. Their bills had generally become
due on the night before, and had been
promptly paid. The landlady, thus in
possession Of funds, summarily disap-
peared, leaving nothing but few un-
paid meat and grocery expenses. a
council was held. The house was cool
and pleasantly situated, the servants
were satisfactory. A progressive indi-
vidual proposed to the other inmates
that they should all stay where they were,
divide the rent and such service rs was
needed pro rata, and obtain their meals
of Il caterer by contract at so much per
week.
This was new idea to most ofthcm,
but it is not at all unknown to persons
living on flats or in "rooms" without
kitchen privileges. \ caterer was found
who, at an average of five dollars par
week per herd, agreed to furnish two
meals, breakfast and dinner, every item
being supplied, down to the smallest
detail of relish or condiment. The ex-
pertinent has worked, so far, admirably.
Five dollars per week in addition to the
five paid TO the caterer by each person
provides for rent, gas. and service, and
the supplies Of food are sufficiently
abundant to leave plenty for lunch for
those ladies or gentlemen who require
that meal at home. The expenses, there
fore, are ten dollars per week for each
individual, or twenty dollars for IL mar
ried couple, and for this sum they have a
pleasant home on fashionable street, II
liberal table, well cooked and we'll served,
without heat or trouble in the house, and
freedom from all responsibility. The only
item that seems to be left unprOvided for
is incidental expenses, which arise in ali
households, and the wear and tear of
furniture. But, of course, in the hire
of furnished house the natural wear
and tear is counted in rs part of the rent,
and, therefore, our cooperative friends
in this instance have only their own mis-
haps to look out for, and tor these each
individually is held responsible.

An Indians Grit.

A short time ago young Cnlppewa
hunter was shooting squirrels in the
woods that border Lake Huron near
PcnetaneuiShenc. Ont. w hen by some
means largc hlight"d pine fell upon
him, knocking him down and crushing
his leg. which was fractured in two
places. He could not rise-he could not
remove the tree which was lying across
his broken leg. He was far from the
probability of passing aid, and to lie
there and starvc to death in agony
seemed all that was left to him. In his
dilemma, with all the fortitude and
promntncss of romance, he took out his
knife, cut off his own leg, bound it up
with his sash, dragged himself along the
ground to his canoe, and padded him
self home to his wigwam on distant
island. There the care of his wounds
was completed, and the man is still alive.

Mr. G,orqe NJ, Beard, writing in q

Mr.. Gorge NJ. Beard, writing in n
recent mmber of the atlantic concern
ing the uturc of America from Il physl-
ra! standpoint, records very accurately
tie causes which have led to these
changes. There are three important fac
tors i'm the physical development OF non
dcvclopmcnt of any nation. viz, race,
climate and surroundings. Perhaps the
most important factor of all is climate.
1t is the difference in climate between
this country and Europe which has
wrought such wonderful changes in our
people in so short time. To this
cause alone may be ascribrd our ten
dcncy TO nervous diseases, for such
things ~ nervous exhaustion and ner-
vouS fevcrs were comparatively unknown
during the first century of this nation S
existence. Our English ancestors. COM
ing to these then inhospitable shores,
brought with them their English tenn
permanent which had been developed
through centuries OF residence in moist
and cquable climate. Time was re-
ouircd to bring about n change. but from
the day the Pilgrim Fathers landed on
this continent there has been Il gradual
evolution of Il new race. The fevers in
cidcnt to residence in 4 moist climate
have given place to the alarming train
of nervous affections which are often
regarded us mythical by many who still
retain the Anglo-SaXon temperament.
With lime also, wealth has increased ;
people are better fed, better clothed, bet
ter able to withstand the sudden changes
so Injurious to Il foreigner, and in this
accumulation and transmission of wealth
Mr.. Beard also finds the agents which
are to alleviate nervous disorders. With
increased prosperity comes leisure, and
with leisure physical improvement, and
the abcve-mentioned writer pictures to
himself an ideal state of society in which
the wealthy few will be occupied in adj
yanLinr the temporal welfare OF the
needy many. His summing up OF the
result Of race evolution during the past
history of the nation is, however, en-
tirely satisfactory: he says: During
the last two decades. the well-to-do
classes of America have been visibly
growing stronger, fuller, healthier. We
weigh more than our fathers; the women
in all our great centers of populatiol arc
yearly heoming more plump and beau
tiful, and in the leading brain-worki
occupations our men are also acquiring
robustness, ,iampltude, quantity of being
On all sides there is visible reversior
to the better physical appearance of oul
English and German ancestors. A thou.
sand boys and girls, thousand men ir
the prinsof years, taken by accident ir
any of our largo cities, are heavier ant
more substantial than were the same
number of the same age and walk Of life
twenty-five years ago"
Whence it appears that the American
in spite of his much -derided want Of en-
thusiasm for athletic sports, stands ever
now at the head of the nations in physi
cal development; and this certainly is :
good omen for the uture.-Boston 1rar
