"a Holden Heiress, Or a Double Ven
geance."

The above is the title of an original
four-act drama by w. C. Miller, the
scenic artist, of town. The plot and
situations of the play are both strong
and well conceived and might vie in
interest and dramatic effect with some
of the best efforts of the modern play
wright.
The special scenes and effects, neces-
sary for the proper mounting of the
piece, will be especially prepared under
the personal supervision of its author,
Mr.. Miller. The first, or trial production
of the play will take place in Freeland
at an early date. after which it will be
placed upon the road with strong COM
pany under the management of COM
petent man.

that was a curiosity, if nothing more.
Running up and down the skirt at a
distance of two or three inches apart
were soft, flexible rubber bands about
two inches wide They were sewed on
at the side of each band and ran all the
way around the skirt, and at the tor
they were all joined to broad rubber
band six inches wide. At the top OF this
band was rubber tube about two feet
long, and which ran up the waist in

Salt for Stock.

1t is scarcely necessary, at this late day,
to question the advisability of giving sal;
to farm stock. 1t is true that thew NAV
live long time without, but what de-
privations our animals may endure is not
the way We should look at the subject.
In European countries, where they have
not only the longest experience but have
conducted their experiments with greater
care than has ever been attempted in this
country, salt is generally considered as
essential to the health and comfort of all
herbivorous animals. In France, an OK
is allowed about two-t thirds OF an ounce
of salt per day to every two hundred
pounds of his weight, while a slightly
larger amount is given to pigs and sheep.
The Germans have proverb that lone
pound Of salt makes ten pounds of meat"
