CARMEN BY Prosper Merimee, OF the
French Academy. The original work, from
which the opera OF Carmen" now the great
sensation in Europe. and in this country, was
dramatized; the audacious, beautiful and be-
witching Carmen" being presented here by
Miss Minnie Hauk and Miss Kellogg, with nm
erring truth, and with the gestures and move
ments natural to the defiant, mutinous gypsy
girl. conscious of her beauty, and therefore
insolent and pIesumptuous. But striking and
charming as Is the spectacle on the operate
boards, it gives but faiut outline OF this tale
OF passion and jealousy as told III Merlmee's
pages OF Carmen" for when it was published
in Paris, II AZ once placed the author in the
front rank OF intense and dramatic writer's, az
the story is remarkable in vivid local coloring,
bold Characterization, accurate and picturesque
presentation Of the smuggler's camp, the gypsy
tent, and street scenes in Seville. From the
Court to the beauties OF the Guadalquiver,
from the site of U@ssr's camp to the fortune
telling and bewildering coquetries Of fascinat-
ing ZIganl, MerImees knowledge and sympathy
with the varied phases of Spanish character are
wonderful. The tropical abandon OF daily life
in Spain the untamed nature of the gypsy
/ who accepts death rather than yield her freedom
Of loving at Will, and the mad jealousy that
impels to crime, are depicted in this story with
the broad yet concentrated strength OF a
, master baud, and With the realistic yet poetic
charm that was Merimee's distinction. The
spirited progression OF incident, the fervid
portraiture Of the actors In this Impassoned
story, The simplicity OF action, aud the pathos
of the eliminating tragedy, proclaim the'touch
OF genius. On Carmen alone, Merinees
clatm to fame may safely rest, " spnblished

SELF -IMpnoyEMs Sr.-A want OF thorough
ness in whatever is undertaken Is, prehaps,
one great canse OF failuree. A practical writer
on this topic gives the follolng good directions;
Never leave what you undertake to learn
until you can reach your arms around II, and
clench your hands on the other side" 1t IL not
the amount o. reading you run over that viii
ever make you learned: il Is the amount you
retain. Dr. Abernethy maintained that There
was point OF saturation IN his mind beyond
which It was not capable OF taking in more.
Whatever was pressed upon il afterwards
crowded out something else. Every young
man should endeavor to perfect himself IN the
science of the BUSINESS he has chosen. With
out this, he must always content himself In the
lower walks. The cost OF few cigars will buy
all the books he requires, and his own diligence
may be made to we'll supply the place OF a
tutor. Without such dilig ence, the best teacher
in the world could not manufacture him into q
scholar. II once going over point will not
master 1t, attack it again. But though II Is
WISE 10 give your main strength to your own
specialty. YOU should not coufine yourself to
such studies exclusively. The perfection OF all
your powers should be your aspiration. Those
who can only think and talk on one subject
may be efficient in their line; but they are not
agreeable members OF society IN any OF its do
partments Neither have they made the most
of themselves. They become one-sided and
narrow in their views, and are reduced to a
Illuminating dependence on one branch OF in
dustry. 1t costs nothing to carry knowledge
and in times like these, to be able to put his
hand to more than one branch of industry
often serves a man good turn.-Young Folks
