Now, on the morrow, two hours before
midday, Chaka came from the hut where
he had sat through the night and moved
to little kraal surrounded by fence
that was some fifty PAGES distant from
the hut. | accompanied him, walking
after him. As we went, the king said
in low voice:
is all prepared, Mopo?"
"All is prepared, Black One" l an
swered. THE regiment of the Slayers
will be here by noon"
Where are the princes, Mopo% asked
the king again.
THE princes sit with their wives in
the houses of their women, o king" l
answered. "They drink beer and sit in
the laps of their wives"
Chaka smiled grimly. For the last
time, Mopo."
For the last time, o king"
We. came to the kraal, and Chaka sat
down in the shade of the reed fence upon
an OK hide that was brayed soft. Near
to him stood a girl holding gourd of
beer; there were also present the old
chief Inguazonca, brother of Unandi,
Mother of the Heavens, and the chief
Umxamama, whom Chaka loved. When
we had sat little while in the kraal
certain men came in bearing cranes
feathers, which the king had sent them
to gather months journey from the
kraal Duguza, and they were admitted
before the king. These men had been
away long upon their errand, and Chaka

THE OPERA THEN AND NOW.
People who have attended the opera at the
Metropolitan Opera House this season have
been forced to notice what Q decided change
mas come over society, as it 10 represented in
tne boxes, In regard to the manner in which 10
gives Its attention to . performance. Whereas
. re" years ago 1t was considered decidedly
vulgar to be absorbed by what was progressing
on the stage, 1t Is now quite the thing to watch
tne artists with close attention every moment
the curtain is up and to exhibit enthusiastic
apPleciauon after victorious finale. One Of
sne greatest changes in this respect is noted in
Mrs- bradley Martin, who Is equally famous in
America and England for her enormous din
ners and her chandelier crown of diamonds
mrs Martin now applauds with great fer
vor, not In the usual delicate, feminine way,
put with an immense fip-hap of the
hands that quite astonishes the conventional
crowd In the stalls The two most vigorous
applauders. however, are the Misses Wetmore,
girls OF fresh and honest beauty and ex-
quisite taste in dress, whose names are to be
found in McAllister's revised list. and who
never fail to appear in their fathers box on an
opera night very few minutes after the cur
tain rises. These are girls who have seen and
heard most of the brilliancy and melody this
world contains, yet they in no way blhsee,
but even demonstrative to . far greater degree
than are their sisters in a less exalted sphere
The entire opera house was attracted at Q
recent performance Of Faust to these fair
girls as they expressed their raptures after
the artists finished their best singing. They
were not posing and we're unconscious of the
attention directed ct them. They merely were
carried away by the delight Of fine music and
just put in" with all the joyous abandon Of
gallery gods approving the hero of q melo-
drama Two or three years ago such . sight
was unknown in the Metropolitan Opera House.

strong enough to make its own wav in the
WIDER world OF waters. an outlet is provided on
one edge, as the end Of an envelope which has
been cut open, which opens when pushed from
within and permits the little creature to
make its way out. though it effectually keeps
out all unwelcome visitors. When the young
first leave their horny home they bear with
Them small capsule containing a portion of
the nutriment of the egg, as is seen in the
chicken of the common fowl and is enabled to
exist upon this supply until it has reached that

Of the dredge.

Trout. perch and other fresh-water fish which
are scattered over our country in lakes, rivers
and brooks always approach the head of a body
Of water to deposit spawn. where the water has
considerable motion and where a pebbly bottom
can be found The spawn of fish has been found
adhering to rocks on the bottom, and all fish
are supposed to have the same habits in this
respect. The motion of the water is thought

time the egg is hatched and the small creature
finds itself supplied with food for a certain
length OF time by a sack which is appended to
It The currents carry them down to deeper
and larger bodies of water, but by the time
they roeh them they have increased in
NE and are better able to look out
for themselves Bat in the case Of shad and
many other valuable fish the fry are deyoured
by larger fish. so that few live to become full
grown fish Recently the fish commission has
taken this matter into their hands and TODAY
millions OF eggsare transported to the fisheries,
where they are hatched, and when they reach
the proper age and are large enough to escape
the larger fish they again consigned to the
waters to fight their own battles and become
large fish
