MANAGEMENT OF q Japanese Stage.

We were intensely interested in the
play, though we could not understand
one word of it. 1t was a combination of
high tragedy, comedy, hurlesque, panto-
mime, society play, spectacle, andmelo-
drama. All the standard characteristics
of each style of performance were con-
spicuously present. The interest never
Jagged, and the changes were as rapid
and varied as those of a kaleidoscope.
There was no little effort at scenic dis
play. The stage revolved in two parts,
an inner and an outer circle. While one
scene was going on in front the next was
prepared behind it on the central turn
table and revolved into place in proper
time; when the dead bodies of those
killed in the previous scene were whirled
off by the outer circle. Wings and bor-
ders were used very similar to ours, but
the main part of the machinery was
built up on the central revolving stage.
What is Steele Mackaye's double stage"
compared to this?-Japan Cor. Inter

KoumysH as q Fashionable Drink.

Koumis, or Koumyss, us the Russians
write it, is the latest fashionable drink,
and has just made its appearance in st.
Louis. 1t got its first boom after Gar.
fields assassination, for you will remem-
Der it was almost the sole food used tow
ard the end to sustain the sufferers life.
Doctors took to it right away and soon
were using it freely in prescriptions
where it was necessary to treat a weak
conditioa of the stomach. Now it Is sold
in saloons and drug stores in New York
city, where it is the favorite beverage OF
those who are not given to intoxicants.
It is also largely sold in Chicago, and /
have number of customers here who
come for it daily. Ladies take to it and
seem very fond of it. Its effect Is exhll-
arating, but it is really strengthening
beverage aud tones the stomach better
than anything else Iknow Of, Kounyss
is also known as mares milk, and the
genuine article should be prepared from
this source, though some make it out Of
cows milk, glucose, yeast and other in
gradients. The process is this: The
mares milk is bottled, TUNED upside
down. and left three days to ferment.
On the third day it is ready to drink, and
it must be drunk ON that day, as tspoils
on the fourth. 1t tastes little bit like
buttermilk, but is more pungent and
makes you smack your lips after taking.
I had about twenty ladies in here after
the matinee to-day drinking it, and it
was almost as pretty and heart-piercing
as Patti song to hear them smack their
lips and see them wipe the white foam
from the tips of their noses.-J. A. Fer.

Disseminated Subjects in tho Dominion

Discontented Subjects in tho Dominion.
The British subjects north of the lakes
and the St. Lawrence are not satisfied
with the present or the prospect for the
future. The feeling between the Eng
lish and French Canadians becomes more
bitter as time passes by. Taxation is
very heavy, and yet the finances of the
Dominion are in a very discouraging
state. The deficit last year was over
$4,000, 900, and it will be even greater
this year. Although the population is
100000 greater than in 1867, the year
of the confederation, the deot has grown
from S99, 100000 to s292, ,00O,O 900, while
the taxation has more than doubled.
Since the civil war the United States has
reduced its debt from $50 to S2s per
head; the Canadian debt during the same
time has increased from $50 to $40 per
head. The Dominion has large foreign
emigration, but the United States soon
proves more attractive to the new
arrivals than does British America.
Then the native emigration from
Canada to the United States is getting
larger every year. In tome of the
manufacturing towns of New England
the working men are mainly from the
north of the st. Lawrence.-Demorest's
Monthly.

A New and Cruel Fashion.

The 91ew fashion of p'tinted horses
comes from the east, and I see it has
been already adopted here. A painted
horse is horse whose legs and chest
have been clipped close no as to fully
reveal the mouse color of the skin, but
whose body remains untouched by the
shears. The effect in the contrasting
colors of the limbs and body is to leave
the impression that either the legs or
body of the horse have been painted. I
do not see anything beautifying in the
process, but it is cruel to degree that
should demand the attention Of the
Humane society, as the clipping exposes
the vital parts of the aniraal, and colds
arc easily contracted. The Humane
society should get after she owners OF
private horses that are painted. Jesse
Arnot in Globe-Democrat.

About the Trafalgar-Square Mob.

The great Russian painter Veretcha-
guine happened to be in London during
the recent riots, and is going to paint
large picture of the Trafalgar-square
mob. He says that he never saw so
many human beings who looked SO
falnished, degraded, ill-clad and hide
ouly miserable. Language is impotent
to express the effect produced upon rue
by the sight of multitude so brutalizeE
by misery" Boston Budget.

MANY Mass es of Meteoric Iron.

The meteorites that fall upon the earth
are composed chiefly Of iron. SignoE
Bombicci suggests an explanation OF
this. The earth is a big magnet, az
shcwn by the proceedings of bar of
steel freely suspended and accurately
balanced on its center. Bombicci's idea
is that this big terrestrial magnet, when
rushing through space containing meteo-
ric particles, exerts a selective attrac-
ton for those which are ferruginous
The fact that so many masses of mete-
oric iron have been found in the arctic
regions, SO far as it goes, supports this
theory.-Boston Budget.

Queer Facts of Natural History.

Itnaay prove interesting as matter OF
record to preserve the following extra
ordinary facts. 1t is thought there is no
record of the mercury passing SO low as
80 degrees Fahrenheit on the Florida
reef. Our friend, Mr.. Ralph W. Monroe,
of Gifford's station, Staten island, who
spends the winters at Miami, near Cape
Florida, the extreme southern point OF
Florida, writes as follows; ave have
had the most boisterous cold weather so
far that I have ever had here. Both
here and at Long key there was frost
enough to kill young cocoanut trees and
many of the vegetables, although it came
in spots only. It psw looks rs if some
one had gone around with torch, and,
selecting certain trees and shrubs here
and there, fired them. Ice formed IN
shallow vessels about a quarter OF an
inch in thickness, much to the surprise
of the natives, who had never seen such
q thing before. I inclose a photograph

colors give additional attractiveness to

HAVING secured the monopoly of the
lumber trade of the country by barring
out importatiOns through highly re-
strictive tariff and by Selling all timber
land that is accessible at merely nominal
figures, the lumber manufacturers are
naturally now combining to put up prices
on consumers. 1t is alleged that far
reaching combination of lumber manu-
facturers of Northern Minnesota has just
been formed for the purpose of raising
the seasons opening prices of lumber
from 81 80 to 50, per thousand according
to grades. This combination is said to
include the operators and dealers of the
st. Cloud, Sank Rapids. Little Falls,
Brainard Duluth, the Cloquet mills, and
ali the larger mills along the North,
ern Pacific 1t ia added that 'the
left>Over stocks" have all been
pooled and that they aggregate
over two hundred million feet.
There is not in the history OF the indus
tries of any country more outrageous
and disgraceful system of legislation than
that under which this lumber monopoly
has been made possible and built up. In
the first place, the monopolists are all
lowed to appropriate all the lumber lands
OF the country by system of entry
which places enormous wealth in their
possession at merely nominal cost In the
second place restrictive tariff compels
consumers, who have parted with these
lands almost without consideration, to
purchase lumber from various syndicates
of capitalists at prices fixed by the latter.
In this way consumers arc plumb cr-
ed from two sources and directions, while
they are tied hand and foot and so rem
dered incapa Bile of protecting themselves.
The farmers are the largest sufferers by
this process of lumber monopoly, now
reduced to a practical, if not scientific,
system. In view of this fact, would it
not, as matter of moro prudence, be
well for this syndicate to wait until our
farming interests are safeguarded to some
little extent against the competition of
India, Russia and Australia in the mar
kets of the world before placing them at
its mercy? The farmers geese, it is true,
have been laying golden eggs for these
United States up till within year or two.
But can we afford to kill the goose be.
cause the eggs do not bring former mar
ket prices?
