WARM THE THEATER.
A Little Expense and Labor will Sc
cure Much Comfort.


In behalf of every man, woman and
child in this community, who attend
theatrical entertainments, the TIMES
calls attention to the barbarous con-
dition of the theater so far as arrange
wents for pmfort are concerned.
Last Saturday, on the occasion of
the eMiss Chester" entertainment, a
large and enthusiastic audience as
sembled. Those sitting near the
stoves were, in measure, scorchlng,
while the others of the audience, de-
spite warm wrappings, were chilled
beyond patient endurance. The de-
termination of the audience to remain
and be good humored, alone pre-
vented the majority quitting the
place before the play was half over.
This is a matter of public concern
1t is as much a necessity, at this day
that community shall have pub
lie hall or theater as other public
buildings. Such halls are sources Of
revenue to the owners. The public
pay for the accommodation, and are
entitled to reasonable comfort. The
TINES, therefore, in all kindness and
earnestness, calls attention to this
source OF great inconvenience and dis
comfort, and trusts that before tht
next entertainment the evil will b'
remedied-at least in part.
A WIMBLEDON erected and the stoves
placed near the center of the room
and fires made earlier in the after
noon, will tend much to secure tn
comfort of an audience.

An Increase of Many Thousand Pounds

For February, 1886, the shipments
of ore from Haley amounted to

10000, or more, over the shipments
for February, 1885. This showing is
creditable enough and the proportion

The English Sparrow.

The following communication ap
pears in the last number of Science
over the signature of Ralph S. Carr,
of Washington, D. @.
Apropos to the discussion on the
merits and dement's of the English
sparrow pest, it may be interesting to
the readers of Science to know a little
of the way the bird is viewed in Eag-
land. The London Academy says:
SIT is hard for lover of birds to ap-
proach the sparrow question. Spar
rows are found to do more harm than
snakes or tigers. Natures thieves
and vagabonds. they are. This is the
verdict of every one who investigates
the matter. They drive away birds
which do more good, and little If any
harm. For every noxious insect they
destroy, they consume more corr than
one likes to calculate. A Cheshire
farmer, indeed, estimates the loss to
England, due to depredations of spar
rows, at s77O, 900 in a year, and this
loss is on the increase. No amount Of
sensationalism can find any counter
vaillng advantage. The careful and
long-continued experiments of Col.
Russell Ia Essex show that SPARE VS.
do unmitigated mischief, and the ex-
perience of our colonies and of the
Americans confirms the facts beyond
cavil. There is really nothing to be
said for the sparrow. He carries de-
struction with him wherever he goes,
and leaves devastation to mark his in
crease. From every point of view,
he mnst be looked at as the enemy of
man. Either he must give way to us,
Or we to him; and just now his power
| is such that he seems in a fair way to
become kere, as he has already be-
come in Australia, factor in poll
| tics.
''The Colorado beetle can never
! commit such ravages as the sparrow
is certain to do wherever he is allow
ed to 60 unchecked. Love him as we
may for his personality, he ought
everywhere to be extermin ated with
the utmost vigor, for there is no limit
In the course of nature, either to his
eproductiveness or to the mischief
which he causes. We In England
have little conception of the scourge
he has proved to be wherever he has
been naturalized in foreign lands. Il
is ngne too soon to have the question
put before us clearly, for every day
It's Importance must become greater. u
There may be points in this that are
overdraWn and exaggerated, but the
general tenor of the notes shows that
the pest is giving trouble La its native
home as well as here.

Story of a VIII.

A man who had been IN active bust
ness in life sought to make arrange
ments whereby he might, in his de-
clining years lay aside the cares of
life and spend the remainder of his
days IN serene retirement. And SO
he made arrangements to live around
among his children, and divided up
and gave to them MS property. Ali
went well for space, out after a time
he became cognizant of the fact that
his children looked upon him only as
a burden. He bethought himself of
an old safe of his, which many years
before had been left at the place where
he once did business. One day he
said to his daughter where he then
was staying:
'Angeline I should like to 60 over
and visit the old place once more and
see some of my Ole acquaintance
there"
When he had visited the place
where his safe was, and had made ar
engagements in relation to it, he re-
turned.
Awhile after this he said to his
daughter: "Angeline, am getting 10
w ca OISA b3ctHS anu yOd OH Ivy ,yOu1sS
est child, aud I have mind to have
my safe brought and left here, where
it will be near me. Ny will is in my
safe" And so Angelina had convey
ance dispatched to bring the safe. It's
arrival at Angeline's caused no little
amount of speculation on the part of
the old mans children and others, and
they suddenly became aware of hav-
ing a degree eff respect for the old man
that thay had not recently been con-
scious Of. After this. as the old man
went from place to place on his cir
cult, he found his children more
favorably circumstance than before,
for they had ready money with which
to procure things for his needs, which
were now literally supplied. At last,
as we all must, the old man died.
Very soon after they had buried him
his children assembled at the house of
Angelina to hear the will read. When
the safe was opened nothing in it was
found save small mallet, to the ham
die of which was fastened a billet
bearing in writing these words:
He that giveth all his property before he Is dead,
Take this mallet and hit him on the head.
And that was the old mans will.

WOMEN WHO TOLL.
Money Earned by Those who Know
HOW to Use a Needle---The Current
Wages

New York Mail and Express
The number of women in this city
who earn a living by the needle is
difficult to ascertain. There are hun
dreds of ablishments on all the
business streets where sewing is either
done Or given out to be done. a re-
porter for the Mail and Express recent
~ asked two sewing girls what sort of
a living they made.
''How much are you paid for MAX
ing those garments2" asked the scribe.
1--WE get 25 cents apiece" was the
ready reply.
And you do all the work necessary
on them for quarter OF a dollara"
Eyes"
Glow long does it take you to make
garments"
II do very well if I make four a
day." said one.
But it takes more than ten hours to
make four, work as hard as you will, "
rejoined the other.
The jackets they carried were of
thick woolen goods. They were wad-
ded, lined with alpaca and had the
finished appearance of a garment made
by an adept. The sewing machine
did most of the straight work, but the
button-holes, putting In the lining and
other work had to be done by hand
The seams had been pressed, the
threads picked out and the garments
were neatly folded and all ready to be
sold. Wages for the making of I'M
derwear, and indeed, for gentlemen's
entire apparel have dropped consider
able during the last few years. The
pay of the girls who make up all the
smaller articles, such as gloves and
neckties, does not average more than
SIS aweek. Many have to be contented
with less, and IS is considered good
pay nowadays. Most of the work is
done by piece. Mems drawers are
made complete for so cts. a dozen pairs.
For the hickory shirts that laboring
men wear, made out of stout striped
blue, As cents dozen is paid. Over
alls are made complete for SO cents a
dozen. Striped calico and white shirts
are madel fori 65 cents dozen. The
forewomen fixes the prices and sees
that the work is Satisfactorily done.
Ii it is not good it is not paid for.
Forewomen's wages vary from SIS to
$50 week. A button-eounter gets %
a week during the busy seasons and
S. during the slack time. When the
new shirts come from the laundry, she
counts the buttons to see that none are
missing, folds the shirts and puts them
in the boxes. There is general rule
In factories that those who work there
are fined for being lase cents il they
earn S. a week and 10 cents if they
earn S10.

TOBOG 1ANING.
a Description Ofthe FavorIte Win te L
Sport In Canada.

Albany Argus.
To the uninitiated a few words
about Canada tobogganing slides may
be interesting, Ice palaces and torch
light professions have attracted peo-
pie to Montreal, but what has held
them there for days has been the sport
of tobogganing. For little else does
young Montreal of both sexes live
during the winter. There are six
very popular and as many more min
or club slides, which might almost be
called public, and are fully SO during
carnival week, besides a great num-
Der of private slides. The Tuqe Blue
is of all the most frequented, being in
the best part of the city. It is an arti-
fetal hill, the slope or chutes at the
beginning of the run being supported
by trestle work rising to q height of
forty feet. The grade is about one in
ten, the run on the level extending
the slide to total length % 1850 yards
platform is laid on the trestlework,
and the even slope thus formed is div
ided into fine grooves, each about
four feet wide, made by boiling heavy
scantling longitudinafly and contin
uously from the ground to the summit
level. AS snow would not lie on the
platform under much usage, it is
thickly covered with ice by pouring
on water, which freezes, and is often
renewed Beside the slide and on the
same slope are PATHS of ascent, made
by mailing cleats for footholds. Be
side each is slide just wide enough
to accommodate the toboggans, which
their owners have to draw up. On
the summit is fiat platform which
enables those participating in the
sport to pass around the head of the
chutes and reach either. Al the en-
trance to each is a platform on which
the toboggan rests while being load
ed, and there committeeman stands
to prevent one party following an
other too soon for safety.
The toboegan is a long sled, with
out runners, which lies fat on the
snow. 1t is made of thin ash, and is
usually eight feet long by eighteen
