gray cat-the cat Of the castle of poverty
Of Captain Fracasse-Doints its ears drolly
in the direction of its master. Another, a
beautiful t0mcat, with long black fur, has
selected domieile at the side of the bed,
and seems to be clothed with paternal
authority over the rats that are moving at
leisure around the room.
Finally the bed: DourOff, leaning on his
elbow, is making his pupils work. At his
side is his little girl, scarcely years of age,
abandoning herself unconsciously to the
rodents, which run over her body and dis
pute particles of biscuit with her lips. On
the bed, white and black greyhound lies
asleep.

always in low voice. with caressing inflec-

and in a very short time, too. D0uroff will
have trained it to perform the most varied

DOurotfs room at the theater is after the
same model as his living apartment; always
the rats running at their fancy. and always
the cats, their companions.
In order to appreciate the patience of the
trainer it is necessary to have been present
at one Of his exhibitions at the theater
Douroff has conceived the idea of causing
his entire troop to travel on a mechanical
railway, the first sight of which astonisEed
US. He established upon the floor of the
stage circular track fully 60 feet in cir
conference, with tunnels, stations, sema-
phore, and train of several cars
coupled to q locomotive. With move
ments Of infinite genteness he directs the

white sheet. Raising the edge of the sheet
he disclosed the face of dead weman.
Mrs. Sergi gave a shrek and ran home as
quickly as she could. Libertino followed
shortly afterward and told her that her has
band would return to her before the week
was out.
The very next day Carlo Sergi came home
and begged his wife TO forgive him. She
was so delighted to see him that she fold
him nothing about LibertinO and the means
she had employed TO get him back. The
next day she made some remark about the
woman she supposed he had been living
with. Carlo denied that he had been wish

bule to the station. He makes them come

man, follows him. The tender is filed, and
then the passengers enter the cars. One
actor raises the lantern of the SENS DhOre,
and two or three others (passengeTs) seem
to be feverishly seeking refuge toward
the station. They discover the benetcent
inscription For Men" and disappear. Still
another passenger, mamma, all white,
with her young ones trDtting after her. The
station fills, and heads are seen in every
story. ne clock strikes and the train starts,
and finally returns to its starting point with
out accident.
The apprenticeship has been long, trouble
some, and beset with thornS. But when
DOurOff has succeeded ION tapping with
the left hand the rats that have approached
a pole, ana on presenting them a seed with
the right hand In making them climb inch
by inch to an accessory in the form of
cats head attached to the sufft curtain,
there is nothing more that is astonishing to
be had.
Now for the representation: Upon the
stage we see an inclined plane, in the cen-
ter Of which there is an eXtinguiShed lamp
with red globe. In the penumbra appears
a black cat, which climbs up to the lamp
and lights it with a stroke of the paw. Then
DOuroff enters in the costume of scholar
of the middle ages. He plays with the cat,
and then be takes blOwpipe and draws
sounds therefrom of a very primitive
rhythm.
"A ratw exelaims some one in the hail.
Yes, a rat is emerging from the side scenes,
and in a few minutes afterward there are
200 of them. Douroff confines some Of them
to the black cat for his diaboIcal recreation.
Other piroutte AID climb to the top OF the
theater. We shall not speak again OF the
railway, whose arrangement we have suff-
GENTLY described.

knows whence. to The sound of flute, and

who are made TRUSTEES or have some kind of
a pull, are permitted 10 have pik0wcases Of
fine linen and sheets.
One thing was noticeable, and that was
that number of the prisoners spend their
time in idleness, and all for want of some
thing to do. That is, the officials could find
work for them on the roads, but then it
would require an extra number Of guards to
watch them. A number of the prisoners are
employed daily to work on the county roads
and keep them in repair. There is, however,
no reason why those who pass their time in
enforced dleness should not be kept at work
in the yard breaking rock to be used in re-
pairing the roads. The fact that criminals
know that most Of the time may be spent in
idleness depriyes the House of any Ierrors
for them Experience in prisons in the old
country teaches that there is nothing that
prisoners dread so much as being sent to the
rock pile" Why should not the expert
ment be tried in this place?

what IS seen even during such n short visit

his belonging and left the house. He
didn't return that night nor the next nor the
next and then the young wife began to
grieve for him. In some way the wOman's
trouble reached the ears Of Ltbertino, and
he called on her at her home and said he
wond bring her husband back for $780, She
told him she hadn't that much money
whereupon, the woman says, he threatened
that If she didn's raise the amount mmedi-
ately he would call on the devil to burn
down her house and spread disease in her
family. She was frightened and promised
to get the money. She says she sold every
thing she lad and borrowed all she could,

500 in bills.

for you. will compel him to leave her ana re-

Libertino replied that the devil had Just

the doctor soothed her by promising to kill
the other woman. He then gave Mrs Sergi
a receipt for 500, which he said had been
signed by the devil. Before leaving he said
'1u seven days the other woman shall die,
