During an engagement of the Strakosch
Opera company somo years ago, Gar.
men, was presented. The stage manager
instructed the captain of the supes to
make his first entrance with his men from
the back in single file, come down the
right side Of the stage TO the front, cross
the stage as near the footlights as possible,
go up on the left side and there form line.
The directions were so simple that the
stage manager thought it quite unneces-
sary to rehearsc the supers in the bust
ness. They obcyed 20 the letter. When
the cue came for their entrance they filed
on exactly in accordance administrations,
the captain at their head, walked down
the stage to the footlights aud started To
cross when they were brought to sudden
halt by the prompter's hood, which stood
exactly in their line OF march. There
was not sufficient room for them to pass
between it and the footlights, so, after a
momcntary pause to consider the dilemma,
the captain proceeded to crawl over the
hood, and every man Jack Of his crowd
followed suit. Detroit Free Press.

Americans have dual reason for con-
cern in the treatment of the rabbit pest in
Australia Upon the abatement of the
pest depends in a very great degree the
sheep raising industry of that south sea
continent which plays such an important
part in the wool market of the world and
what Is the pest of Australia today may
threaten a large agricultural area in the
United States tomorrow. col
Some idea of how sheep raising in Aus
tralia has been interrupted by the plague
Of English rabbits may be gained from the
following facts: At one station in Victoria,
which under skillful management pas
tured 10000 sheep, the ircursion of rab-
bits reduced the stock to 200 sheep found
by the visitor ''dying in a paddock at the
homestead. The rabbits had TO account
for the deficiency. All that good manage
ment, backed by abundant capital, could
do had been Intellectual to stay the progress
of the rabbits. They had eaten up and
destroyed all the grass and heritage; they
had barked all the edible shrubs and
bushes. and had "latterly themselves be-
gun to perish in thousands. Chicago

Really We never attended a convention
where all the beauties of harmonious &C.

hibited at the Republican convention IN
Miller last Saturday. 1t was intima,ed
close on the eve of the convention that a
candidate would be sprung in opposition
to Dr. Wood, and of course his friends
were somewhat curious for time to know
who it would be, No onght was given
as to who the nine delegates to Watertown
should be--except possibly two or three
who wanted to go-other than to expedi-
tiously nominate nine men, forgetting
even to say who was the conventions

old mossback offered to bet IA fiver" that
majority of the delegates did not know
what the Watertown convention was for
anyhow. However disposition to give
preference to home affairs is not to be
condemned.

The Decline of the sailor.

Rather severe criticisms on our navy
are appearing in the English journals.
The critics admit we have as good naval
t'f'sces,sas any. but say that what ships
we have are manned by Englishmen,
Irishmen, Germans, Scandinavians and
negroes. This il true in time Of peace;
for first rate American sailor men can
make more than SCI 80 month ashore
Bat once the signal of war comes, and the
promise of prize money and adventure,
and there would be little room for much
of the poor matcrial .,vw manning the
yarus. The great fleet that Farragut led
past the Mississippi forts was manned
with Gloucester fishormcn--men who, un-
like the average blue jacket, combine a
keen intelligence with strength and dar-
ing.
The day of the Square rigger" Is gone
by for the modern war ship has no sails,
and n quick hand at the gun sight and
block, tackle and gearing is more in de
mand thnn one that can hand, reef, and
steer. Indeed, 1t is q curious study TO
watch how, in the war ship Of today, the
sailor is declining and the engineer and
machinst advancing. Perhaps In the
future the crew Of a war ship will be com
posed of three clnsses Only--scicntists, en-
ginecrs and coal beavers or oil feeders. -
