Can n Woman Act Successfully In France
and Preserve Her ruritSs

A peculiarly French discussion has been
started by lie Figaro on the question whether
IN actress can be successful In her profession
and yet remain virtuous. Some OF the An
swers are interesting. NJ. Jules Claretie. OF the
Comedie FRANCHISE, and member of the French
Academy. cvades tho question by saying cpl
dramatically: Tho important thing Is to
have talent" Coauelin Cadet writes:
You ask mt whether purity is injurious OH

JIMAICA,S MONGOOsE TRIAL.

The Peat Is xterniaated by Ticks.

''V' nv h'uuf"ps
The introduction OF the mongoose into Jamai-
ca marks one OF the standard instances OF un-
expected results following upon an attemt to
artiicialize the process OF natural selection, and
takes rank as a warning with the plague of
rabbits and thistles in Australia. The mon
goose was introduced from India, in 1872, In
order TO Abate the pest OF rats which infested
the sugar canes, and after performing this sal
uiary duty 1t increased and multiplied TO such
an extent that not only the rats and mice but
most OF tho living species OF the island wero
threatened with extinction. Poultry suffered

that many kinds OF these entirely disappeared.
Finally the monRooss developed n ravcnOus de-

which 1t mad been called in to protect, winding
