RICE's COMEDIANS
Begin Weeks Engagement at the Au-
ditorIum Next Monday Evening.


When repertoire companies first inau-
gurated the popular price it was thought
impossible TO give creditable performances,
but such organizations as Rice's Come
dams, under the direction of Geo. Peck. by
Keeping faith with the theatre-going pub
lie and giving really high class productions
at popular prices, have given to the masses
better appreciation of this class of at
fractions. At the Auditorium Monday
evening next Rice's Comedians will open
a weeks engagement with two special
matinees Wednesday and Saturday,
The opening bill will be the Lyceum
Theatre success, 1.-THE Old, Old Story"
This charming play was put on in New
London last week and the Day of that
city said: THE initial performance of
Rice's Comedians was greeted by a large
house at the Broadway theatre last even
ing. The play presented was The Old,
Old Story, a charming society drama and
admirably enacted by an able company of
players headed by that old-time favorte,
Charles p. Rice, who in his role of Philip
Harleigh showed last evening that he still
retains those abilities which made him so
popular last year.
"Other favorites were Charles Frey and
Harry Mantell. The feminine members
OF the troupe were we'll received, especially
Misses Emily Lascelles and Florence Hast
ings. During the evening excellent spec
ialties were introduced by little Mona and
Others"
The company this season has been
strengthened and today stands without a
peer among the repertoire organizations of
the country. Notwithstanding the added
expense the popular prices will remain the
same. Seats go on sale Saturday at the
Brattleboro News company's store.

with Marian at several houses. in the
windows of which were displayed an.
nouncelnents of lodgings to let, but il
occupied him some little while to discover
rooms that were at all to his liking. AT
last, however, he took apartments in q
small but comfortable house kept by a
man and his wife who had lately come
out from England. He told them that he
would move In during the course of that
same day, and having made such trifIina
arrangements as were necessary, he set
out with the girl to walk back to Darl-
inghurst., They had accomplished about
half the distance, when Marian observed
man approaching them whose figure an
peared to be familiar to her. She said to
her companion. 'sWho Is this coming
along? / fancy [ have seen him before. >,
Rawdon stared hard, then exclaimed,
"Why- surely it is Mr.. Brymer, tho rich
old merchant who was so popular on
board the Strathnaira."
And so it proved to be. The hearty old
fellow was delighted to see them again,
and shook them both warmly by the
hand. 1t is astonishing how friendly the
association of shipboard life makes
people. He inquired how Rawdon was
getting on, and whether he had learnt
any news about himself, and was both
interested and astonished to hear Of the
extraordinary return of his memory. Be.
fore parting from them he said that he
was staying at q house in Sydney. the
address of which he named, and expressed
a hope that they would both come and
see him there. Rawdon promised to do
SO, sand to bring Marian with him, and
then once again shaking them warmly by
the hand, the genial and opulent Colonial
proceeded on his way.
II am almost dreading my interview
with Clara Lam bert" said Rawdon.

lane midway down which stood Dunbar
House. 81 know that what L must tell
her will be sure to prove terrible blow
to the poor girl.
"If she is really attached to you,'' said
Marisn, sadly, sit will be something

would break my heart if I were in her
place."

quality she had yet observed which she
did not admire in this mans character
was the Indifference he exhibited in
speaking of his old sweetheart.
AT this momentaathey caught the quick
trot of a horses hoofs looming along be-
hind them. They turned together to
look, and the young fellow uttered a
hasty exclamation and released Marian s
arm, which had been passed through his
own.
The person who was mounte upon the
horse that was coming down the lane at
rt.scanter was Clara Lambert.

COLOR OF ANIMALS.
some of the Reasons for Its Change and
Some of the Mysteries of 1t.
(Our Animal Friends. J

WA HAAAil4stA l. AACloSs
Observation and experiment go to show
how large an influence food has in deter
mining the color of animals. Everybody
knows how easily the color of the yellow
canary may be altered to an orange red
by mixing cayenne pepper with it's food,
though it is true that the color change
may be produced only in very young birds
whose feathers are not completely ma
tured. 1t is also matter of experiment
that all varities of canaries are not equal
ly susceptible to the influence of the
pepper, and it is a very curious fact that
if the pigment that oausessthe red color of
the pepper be mixedswith the..food of the
birds, without the sother constituents,
yellow colored canaries are not in the
slightest degree affected by it, while
brown birds or the brown feathers of
yellow birds become distinctly lighter in
hue.
Here is another interesting experiment:
The large tortoise shell butterfly normally
feeds upon the leaves sof the elm, while
the small tortoise she'll is addicted to net
ties, but when some images of the large
that have been found upon nettles, they
showed wonderful similarity to the
smaller species, though tbs color was
nearer to that of the larger. Quite in the
same line is the observation that !. the
thorn moth exhibits variations in color
according as the. larva is fed upon oak,
hawthorn, AlimeJor lilac. Many other ex-
periments have shown similar effect of
food in modifying or completely changing
theNColor of animals,
Among the changes of color that are
most perplexing, if one would refer their
cause to utility only. is that of the gull,
which Is blue and white, and is therefore
generally allowed to be of protective
value. But of the first three years of
their lives several common species of gull
have brownish speckled plImage, which
is totally unlike that of the older birds.
on which fact Mr.. Beddard remarks: IF
one color be advantageous, the other must
be the reverse, and three years is,either a
considerable period, or it is not long
enough.
Another perplexing part of the subject
is the color Of deep sea animals. 1t Is AN
established fact that marine animals can
and do live at the enormous depth of more
than five miles below the surface of the
water. 1t is also certain that the sunlight
does not penetrate to that depth, SO that
the animals that exist there exist in more
onaii AlUulSH6 uhfkHesS. JeG tne IaCt IS,
that brilliant colorations are generally
found in them. Of what use can it be-?
How can natural selection or sexual Sc
lection have anything to do with it? It is
true, indeed, that there may be phosphor-
escent light emitted by the animals them
selves; and of this there are many evil
dences, but though the deep sea fish may
besguided to its prey by series of natural
'bullseye'' lanterns, thu color of its prey
could have no protective effect, but ex-
actly the reverse.
