MILES NOT ALL THE SAME.
They Differ in Length in Various
Countries and by Land
and Sea.

English-s peaking countries have
four different miles - the ordinary
mile of $3.50 feet and the geographical
or nautical mile of 6,0S5, making diff
ference of about one-seventh between
the two; then there is the Scotch mile
of 1928 feet, and the Irish mile of 6,720
feet: four various miles, every one of
which is still in use. Then almost
every country has its own standard
mile. The Romans have their mil pass
mum. 1000 PAGES, which must have been
about 5000 feet in length, unless we
ascribe to Caesars legionaries great
stepping capacity. The German mile
of to-day is 24,31S feet in length, more
than AZ times as long as our mile. The
Dutch, the Danes and the Prussians en-
JOY u mile that is 1S,44O feet long, 3%
time the length of ours; and the Swiss
get more exercise in walking their
mile than we get in walking five miles,
for their mile is 9,153 yards long, while
ours is only 1,T60 yards.
The Italian mile is only a few feet
longer than ours, the Roman mile is
shorter, while the Tuscan and the
Turkish miles are $50 yards longer.
The Swedish mile is 7.341 wards long
and the Vienna postmile is s,796 yards
in length. So here is list of 12 differ
ent miles, and besides this there are
other measures of distance, not count
ing the French kilometer. which is
rather less than two-thirds of mile
The Brazilians have a militia that is IL
times as long as our mile; the Neapol-
ftan migifo is bout the same length;
the japanese ri, or mile. is 30 times
ours; the Russian verst is five-eighths
as long as our mile, while the Persian
standard is fesakh, Az mile long,
which is said to be equal to the paran-
sang. so familiar to the readers of
Aenophon's Anabasis. The distance.

our friends back again.
Mr.. Otis Skinner came back to his
duties early, and though with play
chiefly fitted, the critics say, for the
elect that are not in town early
found audiences apprecia tive and
complimentary in size. Mr.. Skinner
gives us this year a revival of George
81. Boxers tragedy of Francesca
Ola Rimini." 1t is foretold that
Francesca da Rinini" is to be not
only an artistic success, but also a
popular success. Mr.. Aubrey Bouci-
cault and Miss Marcia Van Dresser
assist Mr.. Skinner in this poetic
drama. Miss Van Dresser makes a
beautiful Francesca, and Mr.. Bouci-
cault handsome Paola.
In Francesca da Rimini' there are
four chief characters: Lanciotto,
Francesca, Paola and Pope. Crippled
Lanciotto, yearning for love and
capable himself of loving most pas
sionately, most constantly, is won

says it was amongst the whispering
pines and hemlocks" of his summer
home he studied and grew to know
the heart of the deformed soldier
Lonciotto. Lanciotto's wife, Fran
cesca, is false to her hus band; false
for the sake of her husbands broth
er, a brother that from babyhood
had been an object of worship to
Lanciotto. The wrong and the
vengeance meted out by the wronged
man are old, old as the world, but
the vengeance in this case brought
no satisfaction. These heartbr oxen

ready appeared before this seasons

ton of Ouida's ''Under Two Flags
and in Ibsen's ''Hedda Gabler." ''Un-
der Two Flags" that old, old tale of
Ouida's, after more than a score of
years of neglected opportunities, has
now fallen into the hands of the dram
atizer of novels. And it seems several
novel-dramatizers have let slip
through their fingers a good oppor-
tunity, for "Under Two Flags" has
found favor with New York in the
east, San Francisco in the west, and
Chicago in the middle.
But take Miss Bates Cigarette out

would be mighty little left to at

quite attempt. An eXtravagantly
romping, rolIicking, rakish VIVIAN
diere is Cigarette, as portrayed by
Miss Blanche Bates.
The work of that peculiar old gen
tleman, Mr.. Henrik Ibsen, seems
to have strong fascination for
some of our younger actresses, and
Miss Bates, too, has fallen under the
spell of the Norwegian writer. She
has already appeared as Nora in his
"a Dolls House," appearing in the
first Ibsen performance ever given
on the Pacific coast. This summer
San Francisco audiences were given
more Ibsen by Miss Bates, when she
played the title role in "Hedda Cob
ler;" and now Chicago is to have for
the first time an English version of
the same play, and Miss Bates is to
be the interpreter.
Cissie LOTUS is no longer Cissie
LOTUS, but Miss Cecilia Lotus, Mr.. E.
II, Sothern's leading lady. Mr.
Sothern's new play this season is
Richard Lonelace," written by Law
renee Irving, son of the famous Sir
Henry Irving. Miss LOTUS has for
long been deservedly popular in her
peculiar line, and now that she is
essaying more ambitious work, good
wishes of many friends and admir-
ers go with her. The most distin-
guished artists on the stage predict
for her an envia BILE future.
We put our patriotism in our
pockets and welcome with warm cor

that of playwright or player, to the
American stage. But as far as Eng

Hoodlums are allowed to work their
own sweet will in London theaters;
their right to boot and howl goes
unchallenged, is considered one of
the inalienable rights of free-born
British citizens, and they exercise
their right to the finish. When these
two American productions lately
were offered in all good faith to
London theater-goers, Kisses and
boots drowned the actors voices, and
they were compelled to wait patient
ly as might be until the mob was
tired out. The next day the English
press, CONNIE nting on the outrage,
said it was plain to be seen that
omething would have to be done to
keep Americans from taking possess

THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER.
Picking News, Founded 40 A. ID.
and Published Continuously
Ever Since.

The oldest newspaper in the world
| is the Tsing-Pao, or Picking News,
founded in the year no A. d. Until
| quite lately it was generally sup
posed that the Kin Pan, Chinese
journal published in Peking for the
last 1000 years, was the oldest news
paper in the world. In a very able
| work recently published, however,
Imbault Huart, the French consul at
Canton, shows that this high honor
belongs to the Tsing-Pao, which has
been published continuously since
| the year 10 and is even said to have
| been founded some 200 years before
| that date, or early in the sixth CEN
| fury, 500 years before a newspaper
was known in Europe.
The Tsing-Pao now appears as a
book of "a pages, octave size, tied in
a yellow cover by two kinds of rice
| paper. Each page has seven char
acters, or letters. which read from
top to bottom. The types are made
of willow wood. This is the "edition
de luxe" officially recognized by the
emperor, and the price of which is
about "a cents month. There is
also a popular edition, got up rough
u,
rather daubed. from plate of en-
| graved wax. This costs 16 cents per
month and is issued an hour before
the other.
1t is the official journal of the gov
| ernment-the Times of China. 1t
gives all the details concerning the
person of the emperor, his move
ments, his maladies. his remedies,

emperor for the people to change

which they are expected to do as one
man. This journal is easy to read,
for it appears in an English transla-
ton in Shanghai.
After the ''Tsing-Pao'' the most
important paper in China is of mod
ern date. the ".Chin-Pao," or Shang-
hal News, founded in 1872. 1t has a
circulation of some $4,000 copies. and
ii the close of the Franco-Chinese
war Lii Hung Chang made use of it
an innovation till then unknown-to
influence the public opinion and dem
onstrate by history the rights of the
Chinese over Anam.
Chinese newspapers are usually
printed on yellow paper, which is
changed to blue in case of mourning
and red on gala days. One paper has
three editions each day, on yellow
paper in the morning, gray at noon
and white at night, so that the
sellers cannot distribute one edi-
ton for another in serving their
customers. Another journal has
title which signifies 1.-The re-
production Of what is necessary tC
know" all given on a couple of pages,
octave size. The foreign words. as
for instance. the word ''telephone"
is made to read ''to-ilfonung."
The Chinese press, like many OF
their other institutions. hasremained
stationary for 1000 years, but it is
now beginning to wake up and mod
ornate itself.
