Theatre Paint Poisoned Him.

The Emporia Gazette says Clarence
Bennett is not yet able to play with
the Morey Stock Co. Two weeks ago
an accident occurred that placed
Bennett in serious condition. Faust
was on. Bennett was plaping
Mephisto when he fell and bruised
his knee. 1t was more serious than
was at first supposed The bone was
bruised. He kept on playing and the
next day his leg was stiff and sore.
He played that night but his leg was
in worse condition and grew worse
for week when be had to 60 to the
hospital. On the last two nights he
had to use cane when he left the
stage. 1t was a case OF blood poison
ing. The red coloring matter from
his Mephisto tights had got into the
skin wound and it now seems likely
that ampu,ation Of the leg will be
necessary 10 save his life.

The industrial rehabilitation of Cuba
is strikingly illustrated by the fact
that the exhibits made by her people
at the Paris Exposition have won
no fewer than 147 prizes, states the
New York Mail and Express. In view
of the chaotic conditions which have
prevailed in Cuba since the close of
the war and the extreme difficulty
of preparing anything like represent
atlve display Of the islands products,
this record is altogether remarkable.
The moral effect of an undertaking
so thoroughly creditable will be emf
nently wholesome to Cuba trade and
industry. 1t means that Cuba's trying
days are ended; that her material re-
sources are responding to the touch
of enterprise, and that she has en-
tered upon a new era Of civil and com.
mercial progress.

The London Court Journal: Not for
nearly eighty years has there been
such small line force in the United
Kingdom as at present. There are
now at home only four cavalry regi-
ments-the First Dragon Guards,
Second Dragon Guards, Seventh Hus-
sars and the Twenty-first Lancers, ex-
elusive of the Household Cavalry and
its present strength of about eight
hundred men; and eleven battalions
Of infantry. On paper there is q fairly
strong force of artillery, but as many
of the batteries at home are recently
formed, three dating only from last
Saturday, we are not so we'll off In
this as numerically we appear. The
British garrison in India is also lower
than it has been for many years. The
normal white garrison of India was
fixed at certain strength by politi-
clans Of both sides, but it is now some
ten or twelve thousand below what
has always been considered safe
margin. Owing to the necessities of
South Africa, there Is at present less
British cavalry in India than has been
known since the time of the East In
dia Company, only five regiments be-
ing now IN India, and the artillery is
also very much below the hitherto
accepted standard.

The art Of advertising has a few
fixed rules. People read ads not
for amusement, but to secure informa-
ton; and the man who has a house,
a medicine or any kind of merchan-
disc to sell or services to offer to the
public does the most essential thing
when he says so simply, directly and
persistently. Still, there is always
room for originality, and if he have
a new idea as to now to display and
arrange his announcements so as to
arrest peoples attention and make an
enduring impression he is bound to
profit thereby. New ideas in advertis
ing will be in demand so long as they
shall not violate the rules Of simple.
fly and lucidity.

AS an experiment the University
of Missouri this year organized sum-
mer course in agriculture, mainly for
the benefit of persons who were am
bilious to become instructors at ag-
ricultural experiment stations or to
take charge of large ranches In the
West. The attendance has exceeded
expectations, showing the desire of
the young men of that section Of the
country to master the science Of farm
ing. AS agriculture has been added
to the course Of study in many Of the
public schools in the West, there is a
demand for competent teachers who
are practical farmers with scientific
training.
