A Proper Sort OF play.

A Chinese company produced a
3,O0O-year-old comic opera in Sgd
ney. A local paper observes this is
like no other entertainment on
earth, except, possibly, 1000, 600
iron tanks falling into arocky gully
full of wildcats.
There is 10 sccnery-this is left
to the imagination of the audience
and tho orchestra, in its shirt
sleeves, occupies the back of the
stage. When amy players back
hair gets adrift owing to excessive
excrtion, one of the band rises, fixes
it and then goes back with an air of
calm unconsciousness to his instru-

The orchestra consists partly of 4

bulls horn, partly Of a curious
stringod instrument which makes a

so on. Exchange.

The heavy eastern lilies,
The gorgeous tiger ilicz
That in our garden grow.

Their mouths are dashed with carmine,
And, wien tho wind sweeps by them,
On their emerald stalks
They bend so proud and graceful
They are Circassian women,
The favorites Of the sultan,
Adown our garden walks.

And watch them glow and gGsten.
How they burn and glow!

The gorgeous tiger lilies

of great black man who waved q

in front of him, and his sword was
dashed in shattered fragments from

Marmaduke sat for some time
lost in thought; then he rose and
walked unsteadily to the colonel's
tent. The latter was writing.

One OF the most significant movements
during this season IN connection with the
gold trade between Seattle and the iar
Northwest has been the establishment Of
n United States assay office in this city.
The bill creating the office finally passed
the senate on May - and was approved
by President Mckinley May q. This WIS
promptly followed June l by visit 10
Seattle from George l.. Roberts. director
Of the United States mint. and Theodore
T. Swayze, chef Clerk Of the treasury de-
partm.nt. After examining a number Of
prospective sites. these gentlemen finally
made selection OF the Prosch building. on
Ninth avenue between Cherry aud James
