The latter was square arrangement, divided
in the center by a glass partition, so that part
held fishes, weeds, crabs, and even bit of grow
ing coral, all in fact, being water products,
while on the other side of the glass partition
were numerous examples Of pond and river life,
the two being in such close proximity that an
excellent opportunity was had of comparing the
individual difference between the animals of salt
and of fresh water. The individual to which at
tention had been called was small, highly col
ored fish, about two inches long, that at the ap-
proach of finger on the glass rushed at it with
every appearance of rage, butting its delicate
membranous muzzle against the glass in
a manner calculated to demolish its fishy counte-
nance if kept I'D. But when the hand was re-
moved the little creature Immediately darted
back to where a round ball, seemingly of threads,
was suspended to floating cork, and made so
desperate a rush at it, like boxer striking at q
bag, that it partly disappeared within it, and
finally in a few moments the butting resulted
in the little creatures making its way complete
Nv through the bundle of threads, so that its tail
emerged from one end and its head from the
other This being accomplished it wrigged out
and passed repeatedly around the ball, pressing
it's abdomen to it, and then darting eff, to re
turn with a small thread or bit of grass to be
added to the rest, and again pressing its body
to it, 1t kept steadily at work, only stopping
when an intruding turtle came by when 1t
rushed out fiercely and put the animal to flight

Margaret Mather in 1.-THE Hunchback''
Matinee this Afternoon and Last
Performance Tn-Nioht

performance Tonight.
The popular favor in which the gifted
actress, Margaret Mather, is held in st. Paul
was again evidenced last night by the large
and select audience that greeted her per-
Torrance OF Sheridan Knowles charming
play, 1.-The Hunchback." The drama is one
admirably calculated to display the versat!l-
ity OF an artist, and it has the merit of a fine
plot evenly sustained, with the adj
ditional charm of ever increasing interest.
The incidents are evolved quite naturally to
legitimate climax, and the surprises of the
intermediate action never sink to the level
Of commonplace. The Julia of Miss Mather
has al the piquancy and fondness of her
Juliet, but is wanting in the intensity and
force of the latter impersonation. AS the
pure hearted country girl in the first act, ere
her senses have become intoxicated with
The artificial "distempers of the town. She
Is arch. winsome and lovable. portrayiug
she traits OF the well bred but ingenious
rustic maiden with delightful naivete. Sub
seQuenuy she assumes the hauteur and
forced gayety of the coquette with degree
Of abandon that would put to the blush the
prscticed skill Of the most heartless firt.
The transition is complete, and the charm
Oh the rustic beauty is lostln the gay creature
chose head is turned by the whirl Of fashion
loie hnery and dissipation. The transfor-
nation in the third act, on discovering what
aer folly has done, after the stormy scene
with Sir Clifford, affords scoue
Tor tie best acting in the play.
The realization that she has trampled on a
lond love dawns upon her at once and as
ne curtain falls she becomes transixed with
error and despair at the ruin she has
wrought
The subsequent scenes with Master Walter
ana Sir Clifford are marked with tender and
beautiful pathos, and enacted with great
power and feeling. Miss Mather,s
Improvisation was graceful throughout
ana she was the recipient of several enthusi-
astic recalls.

Walter with the force and beauty for which
he is noted in this part and being by turns
