IBSEN ON HIMSELF

Ibsen's symbolism, he implies, is
principally the work Of his commenta-
tors.
Ibsen's method of work Is described
as follows: II transfer to the stage
certain people whom have observed,
eertain events which / have seen or
which have been related to mel throw
In little poetry-and that's how it's
DONE" He claims to have seen in real
life every character that he has placed
on the stage. Count Prozor mentioned
the RAT Wife" to which Ibsen replied:
"She was little old woman whosused
to come to kill rats at the school where
/ was educated. She carried little
dog in a bag, and there were tales of
children who had followed her and fall
en- into the sea- That was just what I
wanted for bringing about the disap-
pearance of Little Eyolf. Academy

"A WOND ERFVE YOY1GE

A Boston brig has just made a voy-
age TO the gold coast of Africa. The
voyage was four thousand miles long,
and 1t Is described as Wonderful" In
cidental mention is made Of the fact
that the brig had on board one hundred
and seventy hogsheads of New England
rum. Whether she carried any mis-
sionaries, Bibles, tracts, or other bles-
sings for the benighted heather is not
stated. If she did not they will go in
another ship even as they have gone in
other ships.
An1nteresting question for debate and
decision would be, Has pious New Eng
land done more to elevate than debase
the heather In Africa? New England
piety and religious zeal have been pow
erful factors for good in Africa, and
New England rum has been powerful
factor for bad there. 1t would be in
teresting to see as many of the facts
as could be got together arrayed in
proper form. OF course it would be
hard to tell just how many barrels of
New England rum would nullify the
work of a New England missionary, or
how the account would stand between
barrel of rum and a certain number
of Bibles and tracts But the facts
would be impressive and somewhat in
structive. Curious and able persons
could make more or less intelligent
guesses from them. One thing would
certainly be plain, and that is that an
ideal figure of New England holding
a glass Of rum out to Africa in one
hand and Bible in the other would be
truly IDEAL

WTSCONyyN,S hoods.

Wisconsin Is going to act in time In
authorized at the recent legislative SEES
sion, has formulated plan for the or
ganization Of a forestry department.
This plan embodies provisions for the
classification Of the lands now owned
by the State, and the reservation to the
State of all lands which are better fit
ted for the growing Of timber than for
agricultural purposes; the purchase Of
similar lands which may have been
abandoned by their owners, or may
have been struck off to counties for
unpaid taxes; the management of the
forest existing on such lands according
to the principles Of scientific forestry,
and the replanting of forests on such
lands, as far as they have been denud-
ed of their timber. In developing the
plan regard is had also to the influence
which the maintaining Of forests has
upon the climate and water supply of
the State, and means are being devised
whereby the forest reserves of the State
may be utilized for the people and pre-
served for future generations without
retarding the development of the agri-
cultural, manufacturing and mining in
dustries. Timber-cutting is to be reg
ulated so as to prolong the Weld. The
forest area of the State is about IT,
100000 acres, of which the State owns
only 100000 acres. To the ordinary OBJ
server the timber supply seems limit
less, but experts say that at the pres
ent rate of cutting the pines would be
exhausted within fifteen years.

The largest water-storage reservoir
in the world is now in process of con-
struction by the city of Boston, its in
tended capacity reaching the enormous
figure of sixty-five billions of gallons.
or enough to supply that city for three
and one-half years, and four times as
much as the capacity of all its existing
water works reservoirs. The vast ca
pacity named Is twice that of the new
Croton reservoir of New York, thrice
that of the six reservoirs of Rirming-
ham in England, thirty times that Of
the Cochituate of Boston, and will hold
more water than Bostons inner har-
Dor. The dam is located at Clinton,
Mass, and the vast volume of water.
covering over 1900 acres, will be en-
trapped and retained by a dam some
1850 feet long, 127 feet high above the
ground, and some 15S feet high above
its rock foundation. No such immense
engineering work has ever before been
undertaken in New England.

There is a scarcity in Florida waters

There is scarcity in Florida waters
of the best sponge, the ''sheepwool,"
and the returns to the sponge-fishers
have been gradually lessening. A like
scarcity in other waters is indicated by
the increased demand for inferior
sponges which have heretofore been
looked upon as comparatively worth
less. One of these the grass sponge,
Is very abundant in Florida. It is Of
coarse texture and has large internal
channels, but has proved to be fair
substitute for the better sponge. A
demand for it, both in this country and
In Europe, has resulted in raising Its
price to the fisher from twenty eight
ITO sixty-f1ve cents a bunch. It's gather
ing is profitable at fifty cents bunch,
and the demand for 1t has infused new
life into a Florida industry which has
been languishing for seven years.

The Ceremonies the Most Magnif- cent Ever Witnessed at the Y
 National Capitol.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March l. Promptly at noon today Mai Wm. Mckinley, of Ohio, was formally in- dpetea into the office of President of the United States. The ceremony took place at the East front of the eapitoldand the weather was perfect. The largest crowd eyer assembled in Washington witnessed the ceremo- tsnes, and all the streets and avenues leading to the Capitol building were crowded with military and the peo- pie. Everything that was possible was done to make this the most magnificent and imposing demo stration of it's kind ever known a the history of the country, and it is generally conceded that the mana gers wore successful i'll their efforts. The weather was beautiful and noth- ing whatever happened to mar the pleasure or maenifcenee of the oeea- sion.
 j In his inaugural address President Mckinley recommended that Con gress create commission to revise the currency laws. and said that he would endeayor to secure bimetal- ism by cooperation with other nations.

assassination was in every mind.
 President Buchanan, whose term expired at noon, was engaged until half an hour later in signing the bills that had been hurridly passed, but the Congressional clock had been put back to legalize the transaction. At last he drove down to Willard's and the procession was formed. The President and Presi- dent=elect rode in an open barouehe; but this confidence in the people was more apparent than real. On the front seat were Senators Baker and Pearce; a guard of honor of the regular calvary surrounded the carriage, beyond were mounted marshals four files deep. From the sidewalks no one could accurately distinguish MT. Lincoln. Close be- hind marched regiments of regulars and n;.1iHes, fully armed. It seemed moro like eseorting a prisoner to his doom than president to his inauguration. Little cheering and no enthusiasm greeted the process sion Every now and then an ar rest for 'disordely conduct was quickly made in the crowd The sunshine was bright, but the whole affair was as gloomy as if MT. Lincoln were riding through an enemy's eonntry-as, indeed, he was. ,"
