The Divided Skirt q Failure.

have made downright serious trial
of the divided skirt as invented and
recommended by Lady Haberton. A
set of the garments was brought to
America by Mrs. King, secretary OF the
Rational Dress Association, who has
ridden her hobby astride from England
to America. The Haberton idea con-
sists of skirt separated practically
into two skirts for its entire length, and
the whole covered clear out of sight
by an over skirt of usual length, so that
to the outside observer there is nothing
unusual. Mrs. King lent the toggery
to me in order that l might be con-
vinced that it was failure. couldn't
understand why it would be any worse
than regular skirts and petticoats, but
in taking a walk l discovered vital
defect. In going down stairs, or an
incline of the sidewalk, in stepping up
into carriage, in crossing muddy
gutter-in short, whenever it became
desirable to lift the skirt, with the
clutch and whisk so characteristic Of
graceful woman's management of her
drapery, the thing was put to q trial
that found it wanting. One hand,
reaching hack for grip, wouldn't ac-
complish the purpose at all. Nothing
smaller than the hand of providence
would suffice to get hold of both di-
visions at once, and the alternative was
TO use both hands, for all the world like

who takes that method of securing her.

Comparative Value of Horses and
and Oxen.

The comparative value of horses and
oxen is topic which has been long and
ably discussed, and on both sides OF
which there is much to be said. In
the Eastern and North Middle States,
where economy of cultivation is so es-
sential, and where hay Is so much more
abundant than grain, work cattle are
identified with the soil. In the South,
where lands are light, an active horse
is equally suited to this soil and eli.
mate, horses of even small size, and
mules in their place, are more valuable
than oxen, which cannot perform the
active labor in a hot sun, through a
long day, in a scorching soil. and per-
haps scanty food. Steady, hard labor
belongs to the OK; if he goes slow, he
carries great burden must have plen-
ty to eat for his faithful labor.
An OK can be worked seven to eight
years, and will then bring for beef more
than what he originally cost. The
horse, liable to number of diseases,
will not average ten years from the
time of hispurchase; and when he dies
we get only his poor hide. A pair OF
oxen will consume double as much hay
as horse; but there is double the man.
ure made, and that of better quality to
carry on an improving system.
In strong clay land, or where there
are many stones, oxen are superior to
horses for plowing, and they are also
good for hauling short distances. They
seldom get lame or blind, and theiI
gearing costs far less than that OF
horses. The introduction of moving
machines, which require speed, have
led many farmers to substitute horses
for oxen; but it is not impossible that
some ingenious mechanic will yet in

with oxen. 1t is also certain that by

Conclusion of fhe Bn,r,n Season.


The engagements Of Lawrence Barrett, the
tragedian, came TO close at the Grand last
night, it having been one of the most sue
cessful and artistically enjoyable throughout
that has been given in st. Paul for years
During the week Mr.. Barrett has appeared in
q round of his most successful impersona-
tons, and judging from the uniformly large
and attentive audiences, his performances
have been greatly relished and appreciated.
Last evening shakespeare's tragedy Of
"Julius Casar'' was presented, the audience
being fully as large as any Of the week Mr..
Barrett appeared as Cassius. role 10 which
bis-apttude Of mind, temperament and body
are better suited than almost any other
Sbakesperean character. His makeup of the
lean and hungry Cassius is almost ideal, the
part being presented with incisive force and
clearness and dramatic fervor that ranks It
as entitled to rank foremost among the varied
characters Of his repertoire.
The cast was excellently adjusted to the his
tnonic capabilities of the company. Mr..
Louis James appeared as Brutus, and he
played the noble Roman to perfection. He
gave powerful and pleasing rendition Of
the character, the impression indeed made
by this gentleman during the engagement
being most favorable. The Marc Antony Of
Mr.. f Q. Mosley was also capitally done,
the Grafton in the forum scene being deliv-
cred with much nice emphasis, as TO earn
for him deserved applause and call before
the curtain,
Mr.. Collins made fair Caesar and the
role of Portia was gracefully presented by
Miss Wainwright, Miss Monk appearing TO
advantage as Caphuruia. The tragedy was
finely mounted and received with pronounced
favor.

The Matinee Performance.

The old adage declares that nothing sue
ceeds like success, and in view OF the very
large audiences that have gathered at the
Grand during the past week, this may in
some measure account for the galaxy of
beauty, fashion and wealth that lent lustre
to the performance yesterday afternoon.
The attraction was Bakers tragedy "Fran-
cesca da Rimini," being dramatizaton of
Daniels familiar story which relates SO graph
ically the bloody wars Of Guelph and Ghibe-
line. The play was selected by Mr.. Barrett
for his inaugural performance In st. Paul
and description of the plot together with an
analysis OF the tragedy WAS given in Tues
days issue of the GLOBE. The performance
yesterday was artistic and characterized by
dramatic force and fervor, and was evidently
very much enjoyed by the large audience.
The advance sale for the Stoddard lecture
season in Chicago was a remarkable success.
About twenty were in the line twent-rine
hours continuously before the sale opened
on Thursday last, and the long line extended
through the corridor Of the hall and up State
street until dark. Mr.. Stoddard appears here
directly after his Chicago season. Stoddard
will give course Of lectures at the Grand in
December.

Yanz Oleson, the beggar who has been
working the town on his knees for several
weeks, had wooden legs given him in Mil
waukee two years and half ago, and wss
sent home with $50 besides. Inquiry then
dc veloped the fact that he was the owner of a
good farm in northern Wisconsin. He re-
NAMED at home but short time, and soon
began to beg again on his knees, leaving his
wooden legs behind because be could make
more money without them. This is believed
TO be the reason why he is here on his knees.

s.Of 10 E0,,Df -

Mr.. w. II. Fnller's new musical comedy
spectacle, "of to Egypt; OF, An Arab Alb
duction," produced at the Park theatre,
Brooklyn, on Monday evening, Nov. 10,
proved to be marked success. 1t is series
of pleasing pictures of oriental life depicted
during trip TO the pyramids by a body of
tourists. The fun is not of the broad, knock
about order which pervades so many recent
farce eomedies-so called, but is genuine
comedy humor, sparkling and mirth-provok-
ing. The music is bright and pleasing. The
chorus, "0f to the Pyramids" and the song
and chorus, 'Let's Be Merry" and solos,
"Oh, Tell Me How to Win Thee'' and 'sThe
Rover's Bride" are gems. The scenes-fve
in number-are beautiful, The eight don
keys and the other necessary adjuncts give
truly eastern aspect 10 the pictures presented.
The cast is unusually strong, Miss Kate Fo-
ley, Messrs. Will S. Rising, Chas. Plunkett
and NJ. j. Gallagher being especially happy
in their respective roles. Mr.. Aug. Pitson
has struck bonanza in this venture.
