Miss Katherine Rober the popular
young actress and her talented support
ing company, were faced by two audiences
which completely tested the capacity OF
Trowbridge's Star Theater yesterday
when they made their first appearance in
that favorite family resort. This is the
first appearance Of this strong attraction
since the new management assumed the
control OF the theater and the welcome
accorded was generous and spontaneous.
"a Heroine in Rags" was never pre-
sented in this city before and those who
had the pleasure of witnessing its per-
formance yesterday were well satisfied
with its Interpretation. Miss Rober APP
pears as the innocent peasant flower
seller, Gabrielle, and clothed the
difficult role with an individ-
ualism that was charming and captiva-
ting. At no time did she lose the inter-
est of her auditors and her handling of
the role afforded her friends new glimpse
at her histrionic abilities. Her support
ing company was strong, consistent and
capable and the piece was placed upon
the stage in manner which eclipses any
thing seen at the thea;er in several sea-
sons. The scenery Is particularly fine,
while the costumes are correct and hanc-
some.
"a Heroine in Rags" will be the bill
every afternoon and evening excepting on
Thursday, when Miss Robsr will be ten-
dered complimentary benefit and the
attraction will be "The Lady of Lyons"

PULL DOWN THE BLIND.

A new invention for tho production
of fabric for window blinds is re-
ported from Yorkshire, England. The
material and apparatus employed and
the process adopted in the manufacture
give fabric that is transparent from
the room, but Opaque from without.
The fabric contains linen, aluminium,
isinglass. borax, tallow, etc. The ap-
paratus contains cylinder filled with
patent classifying compound. in
which bobbins of linen yarn are placed.
The yarn is saturated and coated with
this compound as it is wound off the
bobbins, and drawn through an open
ing at the top of the cylinder; it is
then passed over roller, situated
above this opening. and down to a
series of heating and drying plates;
then around another roller, to the re-
winding arrangement of the apparatus,
where the yarns are wound upon the
bobbins again and are then ready for a
knitting machine.
The inventor claims that this blind
is so flexible that it can be easily
rolled up and down; that it is so trans
parent that a room is not darkened
when it is drawn; that while those
inside room can see through the
blind almost as perfectly as though 1T
were glass, those outside cannot see
inside the glass, unless the latter is
lighted most brilliantly and darkness
prevails outside, and that it is artistic,
and, therefore, pleasing to the eye.
The blinds shown are hand-painted,
but it is expected that in the future ii
will be possible to print them by ma
chinery, and thus reduce the expense
of production, so that the cost of fitting
windows will not be much greater
than that incurred by ordinary blinds

AN ARMY OF RATTLERS.

For week reign of terror has
existed here, owing to the invasion of
the town of Tavarez, Fla, by an army
of rattlesnakes. The reptiles are of all
ages and sizes, and have practically
taken possession of the town. No man
or child dares venture out of doors,
and when the men go out their legs are
encased in stout leather leggings.
which reach to the thighs, and they
are armed with clubs with which to
dispatch the serpents. The advance
guard of this army of rattlers appeared
just a week ago, and since then the
snakes have come in such numbers that
it is estimated that there are now
/ 900 within the corporate limits of
the town.
Last Sunday, as Mayor Yorke and
his family were going to church. they
met the advance guard, it consisted of
two old ratlers about five feet long,
each with twelve rattles and button,
and dozen smaller reptiles. The
Mayor and his family beat retreat
and the oity's magistrate called for
neighbors to assist him in dispatching
the reptiles The brood was killed,
but before it was done shouts from
different quarters of the town an
nounced the approach of more snakes.
Since then the men have been busy
killing the reptiles. 1t is said that
400 snakes have been killed and still
the town is full of them. Their warn.
ing rattle is heard at all hours and
ON all sides. The dogs made gallant
fight against the reptillan army. but
nearly all have been bitten and are
dead. Several horses have also died oil

ENGLISH VINEYARDS.

Though the practice of wine-making
has ceased in England for more than
n century, the remains and records of
the old English vineyards are abundant
and suggestive, says the Spectator.
East Smithfield was converted into a
vineyard. and held by four successive
oonstables of the tower in the reigns
of Rufus, Henry and Stephen. In the
reign of Richard II. the little park at
Windsor was taken for vineyard to
supply the castle; and it was asserted
of the Vale of Gloucester that "there
is no province of England that hath
SO many, or such good. vineyards as
this country, either for fertility, or
sweetness of the grape; the wine there
of carrieth no unpleasant tartness, be-
ing not much inferior to the French in
softness."
1t is said that on the site of one of
the old vineyards. in a park near Ber-
kelley castle, tendrils of vines are still
found springing up yearly among the
grass. Some cuttings from these were
planted and grew into good vines.
Apparently most of the southern castles
and abbeys had their home vineyard,
just as they have in France, Italy,
Germany, and Hungary. The name
still clings to the fields, though the
vineyards are gone. In parts of Devon
shire the name of vineyard" is given
to land allotted to the poor under the
Enclosure act. Whatever the origin of
this curious use of the words, the cul-
tivation of the vineyards and the
making of good wine were i'll some
cases continued to such recent date
that the land which still bears the
name may be said to have only tempor-
arily passed out of cultivation.
The terraced vineyard of Beaulieu
abey was used for wine- making till the
middle of the last century by John,
duke of Montague; and the "house of
the wine press" built in the reign
of Henry III. was kept in repair after
other buildings had gone to ruin. At
Arundel castle, where the steep hillside
forms AN ideal exposure for wine-
growing, the manufacture did not cease
until the second half of the eighteenth
century, excellent wine of the Bur-
gundy type" having continued to be
made there in the ancient vineyard.
The last place in which good wine was
commonly made from vineyard grapes
on large scale was, strange to say, in
what is now West London. The won
derfully fertile soil which now grows
fruit and vegetables for Covent garden
then grew grapes for wine making.

HOW TO MOVE BOOKS.

There never was a more ingenious
invention of the Evil One than the
direction to pack books in barrels be-
cause they could then be moved easily.
The books which survive such trans
portation are fit only to adorn the lum-
ber room.
An experience gained in many flights
leads to the advice to distribute books,
as far as possible, or to pack them in
small boxes.
If these boxes are obtained from
grocer. line them with paper, being
sure first of all that there is no SUBJ
stance which would be likely to attract
insects adhering to the sides of the box.
Where books handsomely bound
have to be packed. they should each le
covered, for the mere shifting of one
upon the other in moving will damage
them. The contents of desks, cash or
letter boxes should be sorted carefully.
plainly labeled, and record kept Of
those of special Importance. Legal
documents should never be intrusted
to public storage, except in safe deposit
vaults, nor should they be allowed to
fall into the hands of truckman or
porter. 1t is hoped that the import
ance of special care will appeal to
women who have such papers in their
possession. Men usually need no such
caution. Few women. however, seem
able to comprehend the seriousness of
the loss of deeds, mortgages and re
ceipts. Boston Gazette.

The visits of oannibals to the beach

South American explorers were boys at

little to learn from Alexander Selkirk

might have aided him in the founda-
