LONGEVITY OF Actors.

Stage Peppic Who Are Prudent Live IS
Long as other People.
There appeared few days since a
brief editorial article which took the
ground that 1.-THE late hours into the
night which it is necessary for the
actor 10 keep, and the excitement at
tending the work OF the profession, TO
say nothiar Of breathing the bad air
of the thvatcr in front OF the stage,
and being subjected, when heated, %
the draughts on and behind it, would
In any ordinary process Of reasoning,
argue i'll for long life to an actor. Yet
the late John Gilbert is only one Of
several instances proving that. whore
actors take ordinary care of them
selves, they are long-lived in their
calling. The early deaths in it are
mostly TO be traced to excesses or in
discretion"
Time was when the argument might
apply, but nowadays it has no appar-
ent significance. Owing to the pres
ent state of our dramatic desire on
the part OF our audience to see but one
piece acted of night, the run
of that piece sometimes for an
entire season, and the added
desire for the close of the per-
Torrance at an early hour-there ex-
lists no possible necessity for the actor
to keep later hours than do his audi
ences, and, in the great majority of
instances, he can seek his pillow at a
much earlier period if he so desires.
At the present time there exists no
necessity for the actor to consume the
midnight taper in studying new part
for the morrow evenings performance.
All that is changed. During the run
OF the piece he has not, at the utmost,
more than three hours work before
him out of the twenty-four. In this
respect he enjoys happy lot far in
excess Of the journalist, the lawyer,
the physician and almost all the de-
voices of the liberal professions. He
certainly inhales no more bad air OF a
night than does the audience, and he
is to the full longer lived than his
average auditor. The records of the
stage go to prove this. The late John
Gilbert, instead of being "only one OF
several instances proving that where
actors take ordinary care of them
selves they are long lived in their call
ing" is one of the great majority
which have established the rule be-
yond a doubt. Boston Herald.

How Duck shooters Capture Their Game
on the Lakes.

Row Duck shooters Capture Their Game
on the Lakes.
With n genuine feudal independence,
the Lake Champlain duck-shooter may
claim that his blind is his castle. 1t
is undou btedly the most elaborate az
fair of the kind in use among the wild
fowlers Of the country. Totally UNI
like the bush blind Of the Eastern riv-
ers, the reed blind Of the West or the
box blind of the South, it stands quite
alone as a representative type of field
architecture. 1t Is, in fact miniature
house equipped with all the parapher-
MALTA Of domestic economy, thoroughly
provisioned and fitted out to stand
siege of six weeks bombardment by
the great army of COMMUNICATING
ducks. Let us take peep at one of
these Lake Champlain blinds.
The house part of the blind is very
nearly square, about five by six feet,
and five and half feet high. 1t has g
sloping roof to shed rain, door at the
front end, and a small window at one
side. On the opposite side there is a
broad slide which can be opened to
provide air and furnish an outlook.
Across the back end-the ends being
the long sides OF the blind-are two
hunks, or berths, one over the other.
A wide shelf under the board slide
answers the purpose of table. Heat
and cooking facilities are furnished by
small oil stove standing in one corner
by the door. In the other corner is
the "armory," rack in which are
placed the guns of the occupant or oc-
cupants of the blind, convenient for
immediate use. A cupboard under
! the lower berth contains the dishes,
cooking utensils, ammunition, etc, of
the garrison, while a big chest, an
swering also the purpose of a bench,
stands conveniently beneath the shelf,
packed with provisions and other per-
ishable supplies of the gunners. So
much for tho interior OF the house
part of the blind The door opens
upon platform about three and a
half feet wide, rallied all around and
! heavily pushed with cedar or pine to
such a height that the gunner when
erect can conveniently shoot over the
waited boughs. On the front part oil
the platform is a long, trough-like
pen in which are confined live decoys.
The entire structure which have de-
scribed Is overaid and concealed with
evergreen boughs, so that it looks like
dark green mound standing on the
edge or in the shallow water. -Forest

Correspondents of the Farmers
Review report that there are promis-
es of a fair crop of corn in the west
and northwest, that there will be a
heavy yield of pototoes, but there
will be a shortage in the apple crop.
Michigan's new tax law provides
for the sale of lands on the first
Monday in May. There will be no
tax sales this fall. Interest on un-
paid taxes will be at the rate of one
per cent per month, and the states
charge against each description will
be 81 instead Of sixty cents as here
tofore. Personal service will be
made on residents of the state when
suit is begun for the sale of the
lands.
Chicago has over Sl2,oOo,Ooo
pledged toward securing the worlds
fair in 1892, and is good for Sl3, 1000
600 more. If a public spirit, UNI
equalled anywhere in the world
will secure the fair, the garden city
will surely get it.
Dealers in the weed should not
loos sight of the fact that the
legislature made it unlawful to sell,
give or furnish tobacco in any form
to minor under seventeen years of
age. The penalty is $50 fine OF
thirty days Imprisonment or both.

Heavy Draft Horses.

The Farmers principle interest is
in the heavy draft horse. 1t has
been shown to be the profitable
horse for farm use, and to be a profit
able horse for city work. 1t, there
fore, is in sense a very complete
general-purpose horse. 1t has not
been many years since there was a
deep-seated prejudice against the
draft horses, both as to their use on
the farm and their employment
in the city. TWAS alleged that they
were too big and unhandy for farm
work, were devoid of intelligence
and so on. 1t was claimed that their
feet were not good enough for city
pavements, and there was time that
after period of use IN some of our
ceties the rank prejudice against
them secured their banishmen,
but they have lived down all this
SANDER, and to-day find the readiest
sale of any horse in the country
The average farmer has come tc
believe that they are profitable tc
breed and to use, though he may not
yet have owned any of the m. We
believe that the farmer who will
breed these horses will find it profit
able.

Corn Fodder

] use from 800 to 500 bush e Is
of shelled corn on my farm every
year, and | regard the fodder as
worth nearly as much az the corn.
as soon as the ears are well glazed
the corn is cut close to the ground,
put on dump cart and hauled to a
lot near the barn and shocked.
| use what is called corn horse
for shocking-a pole from the
woods, some sixteen feet long, and
through the butt bore four holes and
insert legs, raising this end about
four feet from the ground. Then
bore a hole horizontally three or
four feet from this end large enough
to insert an old hoe or rake handle,
and it is ready for use. Set the corn
in the four corners made in the pole
and this stick and build on the desir.
ed size.
Tie the top, pull out the stick
and draw the corn horse out far
enough to commence another shock
One man will set corn rapidly in
this way. l usually make three
shocks from two cart loads and
have no difficulty in curing. As
soon as the corn is cured sufficiently
it is shocked out, leaving shucks on
stalk and the stalks are stacked and
left TO be cut by power as wanted
during the winter use a cutter
with masticator, and my COWS are
fed twice a day with this cut feed
and are always in prime condition
| usually feed hay at noon and give
my mich cows four quarts cornmeal
per day additional. The waste OF
the cornstalks makes excellent litter
for stock and absorbs urine like a
spong. -Ex.
