Two Hungarian noblemen played fairy

Not Enthusiastic Concerning America.
Maurice Grau's company reached Paris
and had not been on a boulevards three
hours before they were pounced upon by
the reporting fraternity and interviewed
They do not seem exactly enthusiastic
about America But this is perhaps natural
for, with the one exception of the little
diva herself, who had made her terms care
fully with Grau before starting, they have
come back rather poorer-at all events no
richer in anything but experimentation
they left They VOW that all the millions
in New York would not tempt them to re-
commence their venture, and speak with
anguish Of the hardships thsy were obliged
to endure when tramping over the "Far
West" in search of fortune.
@Ah," said one, "America has changed
since Theo, and Capoul and Aimee first
crossed the ocean. Life was easier then.
People were richer. We artists were well

are too small to outweigh the annoyances

WI FARMING DOESN'T PAY.
A Curious and Alarming State of Things

A Curious and Alarming state of Things
Across the Ocean.
1t seems now to be settled that under ex-
isting conditions it does not pay to grow
grain or raise cattle in the best part of the
continent and the British isles For this
curious and alarming state Of things the
world is indebted to the extension of steam
navigation to all parts of the earth. Wheat,
barley, oats, etc, can be grown on almost
any arabic land. It follows that wherever
the factors are most favorable that region
gets the benefit OF this cheap access to the
consuming market A few years ago India
contributed but 81, 900 bushels of wheat to
countries outside of the Peninsula Its ex-
port supply is now about 5OOOO,OOO of
bushels, and with the extension of the rail-
way system it will have fully 1O0, 900, ,O0o for
outside consumption
The secret Of India's ability to sell in dis
tant markets is the extraordinary cheap
ness Of labor, which does not command
more than 10 cents a day of our money.
The United States Australia, and New
Zealand can produce wheat and lay'it down
in Liverpool at a price which is simply
ruinous to the English and European
wheatgrower. This is because of cheaper
and more fertile lands and the use
of machinery on the broad prairies
and plains, which dispenses with costly la
bor Recent statistics show that tenant
farmers in the British islands who confine
themselves to cereals and cattle raising can
not make both ends meet if they undertake
to pay their rent This accounts for the
distress among the agricultural classes in
the Old World, and more especially for the
abject misery of:the Irish people, who have
no diversified industries, because the island
la without coal or iron, and British laws
discourage manufactures of any kind in
that unhappy country.
This inability to raise grain is effecting
social. revolution 1t has struck fatal blow
at the authority and prestige of the peers,
who are the great landowners, and it will
end in agricultural land being transferred
to the peasants, in England and Scotland,
as we'll as ireland. These agricultural
be able to make living out of the soil, for
they can raise perishable vegetable, poultry,
eggs and dairy products, as these are safe
from foreign competition. In the mean
time the cities of Europe are growing rap
idly and are yearly consuming more and
more, not only of the grain and cattle raised
in distant regions, but also of the vegeta-
bles, poultry, fruit and dairy products of
nearby production. This explanation of
the agricultural situation throws o good
deal Of light upon the political and social
changes now taking place in the Old World

V Lovers While on the Stage.

As to posturss and gestures on the stage,
where many Of our bellies really get instruc-
tions, few of my readers can have any idea
how exactly prearranged they must be in
order to escape swkwardness and confu.
sion. Nothing in dramatic mimicry is
more apt to drop from sublimity to ridicule
than lovers embraces; and yet those atti-
tudes are the likelsest to be unpi epared on
the first representation of play. The
reason Is that at Tehearsals the actor and
actress concerned in the make believe en-
dearment are inclined to be shy Of it, or at
least the woman ii prone to avoid realistic
practice; and 80 the scene is often spoiled
before the initial audience by an instant of
hesitancy, humping Of bodies, or an un-
graceful juxtaposition
There is one actor, however, in whom his
footlight mates soon learn to have implicit
confidence at such junctures. He is Salvini,
the italian tfhgedian, who has played what
he declares to be his last in this country,
and is about TO reknrn home to idle away
the rest of his life II saw him In Othello

toaished by the fact that, In his many pas

ture, who was like q wisp In his brawny
