BETTER THAN BOOKS.
Valuable Lessons in the Barnum s.
Bailey Show.

1t is Just possible that no books in the
world viii convey as much actual informa-
tion about the curious animals fnhabiting
this earth as an hour spent in viewing them
in the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth, when it comes here on May and 6.
Here, too, may be seen the elegant enter
tainrnent afforded By the fire king, the
lightning calculator, lady Jugglers, dancers,
child oracle, magicisDs, snake charmers,
and others, besides all the queer musicians
who perform on scores OF quaint and curl
GUS instruments and give characteristic
exhibitions eloquently depicting interna-
tional games and amusements.
In the same tent may be seen also Jo-
hanna, the remarkable female gorilla. aad
the big blue-nOsed mandriIl, also the only
one in captivity. which have become IA
nous from being loaned to the geological
garden at Central Park, New York, by Mr.
Bailey, and where they excited the won
der Of thousands daily. These ara the only
animals of their kind at present in cap
tivity in the world.
Besides these, again, there is most amaz-
ing exhibition of trained animals, where
nearly all kinds go through a series of per-
fOrmances of a most startling character,
when also seventy trained horses perform
at one time n one ring, and execute singly,
in groups and III whole companies remark
able feats. Equestrian tournaments, leap
ing and tuinbling contests, aerial. trapeze,
ground, acrobatic, gymnastic and athletic
feats follow each other in such rapid sue
cession that the eye can scarce keep them
within range. And all these are in three
rings, on three stages, en- the race track
and in the arena.
A yeritable Midway will be found in the
double fnenagerie tent, also where is To-
Gated the giant, midget and 0riSsa twins,
and where there are nifty cages of the
rarest and costiiest specimens of wild beasts
from all over the world. and where twenty
four elephants prove the greatest 81 ght on
earth. The new free street parade also is
a wonderful affair. in whichths stupendOus

The old school friend of the actress was
bemoaning her lot She had none of the
joys or freedom that she felt sure were
enjoyed by one on the stage And her
salary wasn't so large, either.

But my necessary expenses are larger"
argued the actress. You must not forget
that am travelling most of the time, and
one always spends more money On the road
than at home. -
The other merely shrugged her shoulders
as IL she considered the argument absurd.

said.

making herself look prettier than she is,

Oae of the most pronounced successes of
the New York season is the production Of
"Tess OF the D'Urbervilles," played by
Mrs. Fiske, formerly known to us as Minnie
Maddem. Ali observers of current fiction
have felt the necessity of reading Thomas
Hardy's novel to be 'au courrant" with
the books in vogue, and eli who read it have
been charmed indeed with its great human
beauty, albeit tragic realism. Lorimer
Stoddard has happily crystallized the story
in four succinct acts, and these Mrs. Fiske
and her company have viyified in a mas
terly manner. 1t was a serious nd
cnastely artistic undertaking, but the
lofty and genuine art always wins, and it
is pleasant to record that the success Of
the New York season has been Mrs. Fiske,
as Tess, a serious actress In a serious play.
