"Casey's Troubles" at the Hollis Street
We we're disappointed with the play last
night. We had expected to see only real
river, and donkeyc and dogs. The river and
animals were on hand, as was also most
beautifnl play, teaching a most splendid
moral. 1t was a sermon in colors. Miss
Kennedy, who: BY the way, is the youngest
ana most talented little lady it has been our
privilege to witness since the halcyon days of
Lotta and Maggie Mitchell. She is destined
FOR high place in the profession, if talent
and merit will accomplish it. Mr.. Kelcy's
comedy work WAS q relief from the horse play
which has lately taken possession of our
stage, and the comical duets rendered by
miss Kennedy and himself were demanded
over and over agaia.-Boston Globe.

The Triumph OF Steel in Harvester
Building.

When in 1889 the Harvesting Machine made
practically of steel instead Of wood, was in
troduced it was denounced by all harvester
manufacturers, except the manufacturers
introducing it-Willlam Deering & Co.-be-
cause. as they said, it was not as durable as
the wooden machines, but in reality their de-
nunciation was causeG by the fact that they
feared that it would overturn their old meth
ods Of manufacture and give farmers ma
chimes so durable In structure as to prevent
their frequent temperance to purchase an
another machine.
VIM. Deering & Co., however, persisted in
giving the farmers the benefit of their inven-
tive ability, and in four harvest seasons they
have forced every other manufacturer worth
calling such to build an imitation steel ma
chine. For 1880 the farming public will see
their greatest achievement-the New Junior
Steel Binder.

The Danger Of Too Much Elk
erCiSe.

DR.. Patton, chief surgeon OF the
National Soldiers home at Dayton,
O., said in an interview in Pittsburg
the other day that, of the 5000 SOL
diers in the Dayton home, "fully 80
per cent. are suffering from heart dis
ease, in one form or another, due to
the forced physical exertion of the
campaigns" And he made the pre-
diction that as large a PERCENTAGE
of the athletes Of to-day will be found
twenty-five years from now to bevic-
tins of heart disease, resulting from
the muscular strains they force them
selves to undergo. AS for the like
lihood of exercise to prolong life, it
may be said that according to the
statistics of NJ. de Solaiville there are
more people living in France to day
who have passed the age Of sixty
than there are in England, the home
of athletic sports. There is probably
no nation in Europe more adverse to
muscular cultivation for it's own sake
than the French.
Great athletes die young, and a
mortality list of Oxford rowing
men published a few years ago show
ed that comparatively small per-
centage of them lived out the allotted
lifetime. "-Providence Journal.

An unmarked man in motley came
up. It was Ethelbert Perry.

ing one in each hand tore them from
their faces.
Hello, Marvin he exclaimed in

her face blanched and she leaned

But their masks were off and the

Perry stood aghast, stillholding the
masks in his hands. He looked at
Marvin in mute surprise and at Miss
Craig in mute reproach. Marvin was
dazed with the realization of what
had passed. She was choking with
emotion and her eyes were filed with
tears.
"Good night, SIR" she said at last.
Marvin picked her handkerchief from
the floor, and stood motionless
watching them ascend the stairs.
The next morning he received a
note. 1t read as follows:
DEAR EARLE-It seems that we must have
had some subtle intimation OF each other
presence last night that brought back the
thoughts of those old Summer times. The
generosity of our childish friendship has al.
ways been one of my pleasantest memories.
Ethelbert and have often regretted that
your life has grown SO far apart from ours.
he dimes with us tomorrow. Will you not
come also, and let us talk over the pleasant
old days together? Sincerely,
II thought I had forgotten her
long ago." mused Marvin, as he
wrote his regrets to the invitation.
''No doubt she thought too she had
ceased to care for me. What sim
plicity, what delicacy, what tact!
How strange that l could have lost
her image for SO long! And thus it
ends. John Corbin, in the Harvard
Advocate.

A Queer Industry.

For years many natives had made
asnug living out of the hunting, and
killing of cobras and other reptiles
for which head money was offered.
1t was a perilous occupation and
many men lost their lives at it. But
now an easier and simpler plan has
been adopted, which is also more
profitable. This is nothing less than
cobra farming. The cunning Hindoos
caught a number of the snakes alive
and imprisoned them in n carefully
constructed pen, from which escape
was impossible, but in which the CO.
bras would feel entirely at home.
There the snakes increased and null
tiplied at an amazing rate. From
time to time the snakOfarmers would
thin out their stock and get the
bounties on a few dozen heads. The
business was conducted just as syste-
matically as poultry raising. About
200 cobras were kept as breeders.
and the yield of marketable snake
heads was large. But the govern
ment officials became suspicious be-
cause of the business-like way in
which the heads were brought in.
and their Investigations soon exposed
the whole scheme and broke up the
enterprise. Calcutta Correspondence

A New Hand on the Job.

The main telegraph wires in Lon
don run through. the subways in
which the gas pipes and sewers are
placed. The principal arteries are so
large that it is easy enough for men
to work in them, but the pipes
through which the side wires branch
off are much smaller, and great care
has to be taken to preserve the con-
nection between the main and the
lateral wires. Some time ago men
we're repairing one of these latter,
and carelessly omitted to attach it
to leading line by which it could be
drawn to it's place when mended.
The blunder seemed likely to have
serious consequences, for it was
thought that the whole of the lateral
pipe would have to be dug up in or
der to get at the broken wire. But
one OF the men came to the rescue
with happy thought, suggesting
unat a rat should be procured, and
with a fine piece OF wire attached to
it, sent through the pipe. This was
done, but, to the dismay ofthe work
men, the new hand came to stop
after it had gone n few yards. The
inventor OF this idea was not, how
ever, at the end of his resources, and
by his advice a ferret was procured
and started on the dilatory rats
track: There was a moment OF sus-
pense before it was settled whether
the rat would show fight or rum
away: but this was soon ended by
the paying out OF the wire, and in a
short time the latest addition to the
staff OF the postoffice appeared at the
other end of the pipe. 1t was.
caught, the wire detached, and then
it was set free in recognition of the
service it had rendered. BY means
of the wire the telegraph line was Sc
cured, and long and laborious piece
of work saved.-The LoudOn Table.

of goneness within, ''that they shall

his ancient-looking hat further into

His Long Head.

Jock - was General Taylor's
chief of artillery at the time. The
command was encamped in a for
saken spot where there was nothing
to drink better than water. Captain
A., consumed with thirst, met Jock,
and said:
For heavens sake! haven't you
anything to drink"
why, yes; come to my tent" said
Jock, in high falsetto voice. A couple
of glasses were filed, clinked and
emptied.
Lieutenant B. soon caught the cue
from Captain A. and went through
the same programme. Then Lieu
tenant C. and captain D., and so on,
till all the staff had "been there" one
by one.
"See here, Jock" said Colonel M.
that evening, 1--WE have all had a
drink with you to-day by turns.
