"RLuE JEANS.O

The play of ''Blue Jeans,'' which will be seen at the opera house next Friday evening, presents an interesting view of daily life as it occurs i . section of this country in a manner such as it has never before been seen upon the stage. It's dra- matic value has been claimed to be scarcely less valuable than it's didactic influence. One may laugh heartily at the fun of the play furnished in half dozen plain char acters and a village band called "The Rising Sun Roarers,'' or be visibly affected by the pathetic experiences of young wife doomed to despair, or tho brave and manly husband, Perry Bascom, fighting against cruel circumstances.
 For those who enjoy realism "Blue Jeanso will not be unInteresting to them, for in its saw mill scene it reaches the very acme of th.s element in the q. anna. man thrown prostrate on the broad side of pine plank, and that plank being pushed with all the desperation of maddened brain to. ward the death dealing teeth of genuine Whirling steel buzz saw, is nota sight com mon in All the narratives that might be told in the dramatic history of all the stages in the world. "Blue Jeans' has been de- scribed as baffling a summary of its fasci nations and the emotions it is capable of arising in the minds of those who compose the audience. It has been given 400 odd nights in New York, 108 in Chicago and seventy three in Boston, which is a tale of its popularity more tersely told than any extended comments that could be given at this time.

OF THE HIGHEST TYPE
Was Thomas o. Seabrooke in the "Isle of Champagne" at O'Brien's
 Last Night.

Mir. Thomas Q. seabrooke, supported by one of the strongest opera companies sesn at O. Brien's In many seasons, presented the musically funny opera of ssThe Isle of Champagne" to one of the largest audi ences of the season. MT. Seabrooke un- doubtedly scored triumph in his great and artistic impersonation of King Pomery II. Mir. Seabrooke has a. most extraor- dinary conception of the character from first to last and could not have been more humorous if he had tried.
 Miss Evia Crox as Diana divided the honors with MT. Seabrooke; winsome and sprightly, delightful dancer, with a voice decidedly musical, with good volume and great range.
 Next on the list comes Miss Catherine Linyard, the pri ma donna of the company, a we'll known Birmingham favorite who will be remem bered as the leading soprano of the Little Tycoon" company four seasons ago. Too much cannot be said in praise of this young lady'sS voice. It's sweetness and culture delights the ear of the listener.
 MT. Walter Allen in his great character of~ Apolinaris Frappe made an excellent foil for MT. Seabrooke's king. With good, robust voice, "a, manly physique and a good conception of his part, he added greatly to the success of the performance. The Prince Kissengen of MT. A. s. Kingsly was well presen ted. His beautiful tenor voice, in the duet with Miss Linyard, was heard to best advantage.
 The young ladies of the chorus were beautiful, the male and female chorus very strong musically and otherwise and the costumes and scenery gni!icent, and the AGE HERALD regrets that want of space forbids going into greater detail.
 Mir. Seabrooke will present his new opera "l obasco' tonight, when he will appear in an entirely different character; in fact, newspaper critics declare the change mar veous. A large audience will witness the production, as the call for seats yesterday for "'Tobasco' were numerous.
 NoTE.-Mr. Walter Allen, the Apoli- naris of last night, is nephew of our fellow townsman, MT. Charles Jones, agent of tho Kansas City, Memphis and Birming ham railroad.

Aruskrats as Household Pets.

Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
Mrs. Sarah Howard, of Houlton,
has two queer pets, a couple OF
muskrats that came up the drain
into her cellar and thence even in
to the kitchen. They have now got
so tame that they eat out OF the
cats saucer and show no fear OF
that individual, who on her part
does not deign to notice them,
though her kittens sometimes cuff
the rats. One day they got straw
and pieces of the broom and made
a nest under the cupboard. They
will come close to ones chair and
smell ones hand when put down
to them. When eating milk they
sit beside the saucer, thrust both
paws into the milk and then lap 1T
from their paws, sometimes taking
a half hour to consume small
saucer of milk.

From BlackwoOd'S Magazine.
1t appears probable that the tail
or's distinctive type Of face may
have been partially created by his
habit of working his jaws cOncOm-
itantly with his shears. Let any
one watch a person cutting piece
of tough material with scissors, and
he will see that the lower part of
the face wags in rhythmic and spOn-
taneOus unison with the blades.
Shepherds and farm labOrers who
join sheep shearing gangs certainly
acquire different expression while
engaged in this kind of work.
The cast of countenance by which
one so easily recognizes groom is
partially applicable from the
fact that the muscles which
close the jaw and compress the
lips are always called into
play when we are asserting
our will over that of a horse
Nearly all jockeys and other horsey
men have a peculiar set OF the
mouth and chin, but / have been
unable to distinguish any special
characteristic about the eye or the
upper part of the face.
1t is instructive to compare the
visage of the ruler of horses with
that Of the ruler of men. The
horseman's face shows command
in the mouth the drill sergeants in
the mouth and eye. The last is
undoubtedly the most effective in
strument in eXacting obedience
from our species. Here we get a
hint Of the causes of that want of
dignity, that element of coarseness
which is discernible in the coun-
tenance of some men and women
who has much to do with horses
The higher and nobler method of
expressing authority is outweigh
ed by the lower and more animal
one.

his round of the QUARTER du Temple
when he found himself III a group lis
tening to a man selling silver watches
for francs each Saindo bought one,
and having assured himself that it was
genuine came to the not unnatural CON
clusion that these watches could not
have been come by honestly.
The vender was, however, a giant,
and Saindo is by no means blessed with
large proportions. He furthermore ar
gued that there We're confederates among
the group In a minute or two he had
formed plan. He asked the man to
take a glass of wine, saying that he
meant to purchase another watch The
offer was accepted, and second watch
was rendered, which Saindo pretended
to examine He, however, suddenly
took to his heels, watch in hand There
