The coming Of Hoyt's famous laugh pro-
voker. "A Texas Steer" to the Opera
House next Friday evening. January -2d,
will mark one of the important comedy
events of the season. Amusement goers i'm
all the larger cities are familiar with the
theme and general scope of what is now
generally conceded TO Doe the masterpiece
of this successful author. It has note
of pure paJhos in the hearthreak OF a
poor wretch. who goes to Washington busy
and with hope of immediate preferment
for the coveted mission to Dahomey. and
who seees that hope is fading out of view
day after day. and leaving only gaunt star
walton in IFS place. The idea is broaden
than its individual pathos. for it becomes
an impressive object lesson that brings
home to mems bosoms and business the
fatal faulty of everlasting quest for Of
fee. In the satirical aspect the play is
not an offense because the satire is lenent.
Hoyt never loses sight of the superiority
of good nature.

The Indifference of the average theatre
gcer TO the better class of plays have been
brought about by the cUpdity OF some trav-
cling managers. who. in their frantic ef-
forts to acquire fortune rapidly, have
overlooked the intelligence of the public.
Such thing as competency and INTEGRITY
never entered their calculations but it did
with the public. who quickly became dis
gusted and felt that if they were compelled
to see such wretched twaddle. farce com
edy and light opera would suit them on
that basis. The management Of Morri-
sons Faust Co. are keen, shrewd business
men. and after realizing the cause Of the
public's apathy. have remedied it by Sc
lecting a company OF artists, whose efforts
have made them Individually famous. The
splendid company and play, with its beau
uful scenery. electrical and calcium ef-
fects. will be seen here on Saturday. jan
uary 23d, matinee and night, at the Opera
House.

New Photography In colors.

"A French inventor, Monsieur Ville-
dieu-C hassagne, is said to have de-
veloped a process by means Of which
photographs showing objects in their
natural colors be made in a very
simple way. With some solution, the
secret of whose composition he at
present withholds, he washes the SEN
sitive plate on which the negative Is
taken. The plate. or sensitized paper,
on which the positive is to be made
is similarly treated. At. first the pic
ture has the appearance Of any ordi-
nary photograph, but after three sue
cessive washes, one blue, one grass
green and n crimson-red, have been
passed over it, 1t assumes the colors of
the original object, all arranged in
their proper places and intensities. In
| other words, the blue takes hold only
| where there was blue in the original,
and 30 on with the other colors, and
the proper shades are represented. Sir
| H. Trueman Wood, secretary of the
| Society of Arts. London, and Capt. w.
dew. Abney have not only witnessed
the making Of colored photographs by
the new process, but they have them
selves experimental with the plates
and solutions, and they express aston
ishment at the results. Captain Abney
says that he is still somewhat skepti-
cal, despite what has been seen, and
wishes to examine the mysterious pro.
cess farther before he will undertake
to say on what principles 1t works.

F. w. Loudon at his home near James,

Of Loudon r%aspberries. They have
stood the severe cold weather and seem
to be alive to the very tip. This new
seeding red raspberry seems destined
to become the best Of all red raspber-
ries for general cultivation, az it IL
proving exceptionally hardy every
where and in quality and productive
ness has no equal. Mr.. Loudon has
spent years in growing new seedlings
of strawberries and raspberries. The
Jessie strawberry. which has a nation
al reputation. is one Of his many seed
lings. His new raspberry will without
doubt make the name Of Loudon q
household word all over the country for
generations to come. No new berry
that has yet been produced seems to be

Tho Meteorological Kite.

Kites are becoming a favorite means
for exploring the upper regions of the
atmosphere. When scientifically con-
structed and flown they are able to rise
to considerable heights, and carry with
them apparatus for registering such
things as temperature, direction and
strength of wind, height, etc. Though
the amount of information brought
down by the kite is not 80 great as can
be gathered by an intelligent balloon
let. it is acquired without danger, and
ut less expense. That kites may be
used for lifting an observer to some
height has just been tested by an
American Army officer. He sent up
four kites, and by their united support
was enabled to rise to a height of AZ
feet, and survey the surrounding coun-
try leisurely through a feld-glass.

H.tcb.nr and Rearing Of Chickens.

Matching and Rearing of Chickens.
The Matching and rearing Of chick
ems may now engage u attention for
q while. I have spoken on this sub
feet before, but I wish to say something
that 10 especially suitable for farmer
poultry-keepers. writes D. L. Orr In
New York Farmer. The subject Of
Matching and rearing is n that is GER
tainly very important as the quality Of
the stock depends upon It, and I think
the majority Of farmers are lacking in
the knowledge or else careless. In
many places this is usually left to the
women Of the house, and where they
are intelligent and anxious to make
their poultry pay no nj could be more
suitable. In many places the farm
hand has this part Of the work to do
after all his other work is done, and
in that case the poultry gets no care
at all. There is nc valid aso why
every farmer should not himself know
how to manage his poultry al we'll as
his other stock, and then he can have
personal supervision over 1t and see
that It Is properly and thoroughly done.
Matching on q farm IL usually done in

Aluminium viollns.

Aluminium violins are said to have
a richer tone than those made of wood.
and the inventor says that he has founL
in aluminium a latent property, con-
sisting Of a tendency Of the funda-
mental to outweigh the upper partial
tones. The manufacturer states that
for this reason means are employed to
introduce and regulate the partial
tones to suit the taste of the individual
player. Notwithstanding the strone:

Export Of American Corn.

GX00tC OF American Corn
Newton B. Ashby. United States con-
sui at Dublin, Ireland, some time ago
sent to the State Department in
Washington. for the consideration Of
the Department Of Agriculture. some
data and suggestions relating to the
use Of American maize, or Indian corn.
in foreign countries. Nh. Ashby said:
THE difficulties in the way Of the
American maize are twofold: in the
first place. maize, or Indian corn, ia
not as widely used by Europeans for
feeding purposes az its value in the
feed ration, considered in reference to
comparative cost, merits. In the sec
ond place. our maize comes in COM
petition with Danubian and Black Sea
maize"
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat adds:
Figures were presented showing that
in 1894 the port of Dublin received by
direct import nearly 2,000.0 900 hum
dredweight of maize, of which only 6A
per cent vas from the United States.
although the maize from the Ameri-
can corn belt is generally acknowledg-
ed to be Of better feeding value. pound
for pound, than the Aslatic and Eur
opean varieties. Mr. Ashby suggested
that the difficulties Of competition
might be overcome by American mill
ers in a large degree by preparing for
foreign export q ration composed of q
mixture OF maize. oats. oil-cake and
wheat. The British and Irish farmers,
feeders and dairymen are more famil-
lar with feeding stuns in the form Of
cakes than by any other method.
