The famous kiralfy Brothers will inaug.
urate their second season of spectacle in
this city this year, presenting for the first
time in Washington their greatest success,
''Sieba.' Ii needs only the name of Kiralfy
to insure our theatre goers oithe excellence
of the performance. "Sieba" was presented
at the Star Theatre New York, for one
hundred consecutive nights, aud has siuce
called forth the uustinted praise of the
press Of New Orleans, Cincinnati, Chicago,
Boston and Philadelphia,
The scenery costumes, armors aud ac-
cessories ERE the most complete and magniG-
cent that the Kiralfys have ever pre-.
sented, and the ballet, led by Miles. De
Rosa and Camis and Mons. Arnold, is fully
up to their usual excellent standard.
"Seiba," unlike "EXcelsiOr," has belntl-
ful story, which, told by capable hands, rem
ders it as completely as is possible.
The dramatic company includes Misses
Helon Tracy Louise Allen, Rose Wilson,
Lizzie Hunt, Ms, Selden Irwin, and Messrs.

Indifference and InsensibiIity Not Tests
Of High Breeding.
Cultivation alone will not make q
lady of vulgar woman, nor gentle
man of boor. Innate vulgarity will
manifest itself in spite of all forms of
politeness and etiquette. To certain
class of persons indifference is the test
of high breeding. If you educate man
or a woman to insensibility, he in their
view is a gentleman, and she is lady.
A woman was one day brought before
the Judge of police court. She said in
her defense:
s'Me and another lady was a-having q
few words, and she called me 'hinde-
widual,' and / ups with pail of water,
and chucked it all over her, and that
began the row between me and the other
lady"
Me and the other lady indeed:
The following notice was once put up
over the door of show:
mo lady or gentleman admitted into
this show in state of intoxication.
A hand-bill in st. Louis read:
"One hundred rats to be killed by one
dog in ten minutes. None but gentle
men are expected to be present on this
occasion"

Western town read:
Tickets admitting both gentleman

BOYS AND COLTS.

Why Young Persons should Be Interested
in Young Stock.
It has occurred to the minds of but
few boys on the farm how much real,
unalloyed amusement they can get by
studying the varying degrees, diversity
and range of intelligence of the colt.
The most powerful incentive that can be
used with colts to induce them to do as
wanted when taken in hand for special
training is the hope of reward. The
boy who expects to be farmer, raising
a few horses only, or horse-breeder
raising many, or any one who is neither
of these, but expects merely to keep a
team or single horse for his personal
use, is interested in knowing what he
may expect of the average horse. When
the colts are taken up from pasture for
the winter-and we take this occasion
to say that this should not be so long de-
layed as to permit the young thing to
feel the discomfort of the first cold
blasts, much less to remain out in
the snowstorm-it will be a
good time to look them
over, and give their mental characteris-
tics little careful preliminary study.

summer, mainly away from the touch Of
human hands, it will be easy to discover
which individual colts will take kindly
to the restraints that await them in their
winter quarters, and which will be apt

posed. Older heads than boys heads
would be profted by giving more atten-
ton to the mental capabilities of the

IRON CRYSTALS.
Good Steel Presenting the Appearance oi
Groups of Beautiful Crystals.

0TOupB oA D0aut1ku1 NEyDtSAos
An exchange says that the microscop
ic determination of the different quali-
ties of iron and steel is now regarded as
one of the most valuable aids in metal
lurgical industries. Thus the crystals of
iron are double pyramids in which the
proportion of the axes to the bases sva-
ries with the quantity of the iron; the
smallness of the crystals and the height
of the pyramids composing each ele-
ment are in proportion to the quality
and density of the metal, which are seen
in the fneness of the surface; and as the
proportion of the carbon diminishes in
the steel, the pyramids have so much
the less height. In pig iron and the
lower qualities of hard steel the crystals
approach the more closely the cubic
form. Forged iron has its pyramids
fiattened and reduced to .superposed
parallel leaves, whose structure consti-
tutes what is called the nerve of the
steel; and the best quality of steel has
all it's crystals disposed in parallel lines,
each crystal filling in the interstices be-
tween the angles of those adjoining,
these crystals having their axes in the
direction of the percussion they undergo
during the working. Practically, good
steel has the appearance, microscope
cally, of large groups of beautiful crys'

While some people in America call
all horses imported from France Nor
mans, 1t is a fact that there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; the name. Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Boullanais. The
Percherons are the most highly priced OF
all French races, and all departments
of France 90 to the Perche for stations
to improve their local breeds. The
Percheron stud book of France, pub
lished under the authority of the French
Government, is the only stud book OF
draft horses that is or eUer has been pub
lished in France, and now contains the
pedigrees of about 5000 animals. But
some importers are offering certificates
from France of Norman draft horses
that may mislead people who do not
understand the French language into
believing these records of origin. Not
one of them issued contains pedigree.
They are furnished at the request OF
American buyers by the secretary OF
one of the French Agricultural socie-
ties, who says there is no intention OF
publishing, them in stud book form, as
they have no pedigrees and are of no
value whatever. It is well known
fact that what man gives for horse
over from $500 to $8OO-the price of a
good grade-is paid for purity of blood;
and where the seller is not able to give
the recorded pedigree of the animal
sold as evidence of additional value, he
has no right to ask it. With these facts
before him, no intelligent man will buy
horse imported from France unless
he is recorded with his pedigree in full
in the Percheron Stud Book of France

"CANDID People"


eocfal Serpents Whose Smaliness Of soul -
Almost IncomprehensibIe.
We have all met the man who prides
himself on his candor; and if there il
any human being whom it is perfectly
proper to loathe and abhor it is the de-
mon who is constantly saying that he is
candid and always says as he thinks. As
, general thing he does not know how
10 think, but he imagines he does, and
proceeds at once to hold the waterproof of
his insane yaporings over your head and
sprinkle you, until you feel like patch
Of noxious weeds. 1t is curious fact
that the wild animal known as the cam
did man is never able to see your good
qualities, but he snaps ct your bad ones
like hungry trout at fly. He looks
you all over with his critical microscope,
and if there is something good in your
life does he take it gently into his hands,
nold it up to the sunshine, turn it round
to get better view, and then put it
back in its place with the remark:
have it; try and get some more Of the
emphatically. Never! He is not candid
in that way. But let him get a glimpse
of fib, and he will chase it as a weasel
does rat, and when he has caught it he
will hold it up with an air of triumph,
as though he had no other business in
life than to hunt for such things, and
then deliver forty-minute discourse on
the Ultimate destination of people who
tell fibs-it is called sheol in the revised
version-and end by saying with an air
of depreciation: ''I'm candid, and
always say what / think" In nine
cases out Of ten candor is only another
name for unspeakable meanness and
smallness of soul, and in ninety-nine
cases out of hundred it ought to be
vigorously supposedly. W. Chrssttas
