When President Schurmann, head or the Philippine commission and an au- Ihority on economic and literary-ques- tions, uttered his famous criticism or this age of recommendation" decrying the wild chase for the dollar, to the neglect of art and literature, he touched upon a point which had al ready been most clearly and force fully made by a distinguished member of the profession so closely linked with that cadence which called forth Professor Schurmann's phlhpplc. Those persons who took umbrage at President Schurmann's regret at the absence of a modern Shakespeare or Goethe, need but to turn to the remark able utterances of Frank Keenan, in forthcoming article in thetNorth Amer ican Review. for food for thought. Editorial note calls attention to the fact that Mir Keenan speaks With the authority of a scholar, as well as or an actor of wide experience and tram ing in that most famous of all Amerl- can schools, the old Boston Museum stock. Sharp contrast is drawn be- tween the old system under which can

After pointing out the diffl- culties which now attend the selection of a company adequate to present piece such as, say, the Hon John Grigs7 by. Gin which MT Keenan is to star next season in place of Sol Smith Rus selD, Mir Keenan calls upon managers and stars to unite in a movement to give preference, as he puts it, to tried and seasoned actors and actresses, as opposed to those persons who mas querade as such, and who, in fact, are not only ignorant of the fundamental principles of dramatic expression, but who have not even that receptive facul- ty sufficient to enable them to become more than more human parrots"

ATTACK FISH.
Insects That Have the Small Fry ae Their Mercy and Sometimes De-
 stroy Great Numbers.

Among the most dreaded enemies of the fish culturist are certain aquatic insects which attack baby fishes, sometimes destroying them in great numbers. Inasmuch as they are night-fyers, it is exceedingly hard to provide any effective safe guard against them, and many depre- dations of theirs have for long time been regarded as mysterious and un- accountable, being attributed to other causes.
 For example, recently, at one of the southern statisns of the United States fish commission, there was a large and constant mortality among young brook trout, and it was only after much watching and patient in- vestigation that the trouble was traced to the so-called electric light bugs, which came at night and as- sailed the little fishes. This insect has become familiar in cities only within the last few years, being att tracted by the electric lights.
 1t is large fly, which in the early stages of existence crawls about as a larva on the bottom of ponds.
 It is probable that the electric light bug in the larval stage attacks small fishes, but the chief mischief it does is accomplished after it has left the water and assumed wings. It is high ly predatory, and, being able to dive, attacks the young fishes with it's long, piercing proboscis, which con sists of four sharp bristles held in sheath. Its fore1egs are modified for grasping, notwithstanding it's struggles. It stabs the fish and sucks it's blood, being in fact sort of in- sect vampire.
 There is a little insect, known as the backswimmer because of it's hab- it of swimming on it's back, which does a good deal of damage to small fish, having strong back for use in it's attack. Every small boy has no- ticed this kind of bug navigating the surface of ponds. Much more for midable is the tiny diving beetle, which has long, sickle-shaped jaws.
 The fish commission has ascertaned that these diving beetles come up the Potomac in swarms at night and alight upon the fish rearing ponds near the base of the Washington monument. One of them will grab young fish and hold on, while others get a grip in turn, and in the course of IS minutes they will literally re- duce to skeleton baby bass two inches long, eating every particle of flesh from the bones.
 Fish culturists have much difficulty in guarding the young fishes from the numerous enemies that are all ways seeking to devour them. It is easy enough to protect little fishes from bigger ones by classifying them as to size and species in suitable ponds, but rats, which venture boldly into the water after such prey, are hard to keep off, and kingfshers and wading birds are ever on the alert to gobble the helpless fry.

0PIE READ ON HEAT.
Famous Story Writer Discusses
 Hot Wave in Chicago.
Only Contented Creature Is the An- cient Citizen Who Loves to Tell Truthful Stories About the
 Sizzling Past.

At time when London was boiling with heat famous humorist wished that he might take off his flesh and sit age American city now he would go ever further than that, writes Opie Read in the Chicago American. He would insist that the bones should be scraped. When Chicago suffers from heat the rest of the country is in ag- ony. When the Chicago man perspires the New Yorker reeks. And this is at present about the only consolation we have-that some one else is hotter. We all of us allow that it is but meager comfort; it does not restarch wilted collar nor render shirt less sticky, but somehow it helps.
 Out of perspiring obscurity has come the ancient citizen to tell of hot wealth CT in the past. He has known longer and hotter seasons. The bubbling ther- mometer tells him that he lies, but that makes but little difference; ther- mometers are not what they were in his day.
 An, old gentleman told me this story and expected me to believe it:
 About the time that Chicago was sprawling nginits first attempt to become a town there came season of intense heat. Boiled whitefish swam about in the river. In hot pods baked beans grew at nearly every door; ;-and one day man who worked in a cracker factory fell into the oven-and sneezed. He had taken cold.
 T. sL IT Is 1 AT her pale and fretful child. Night after, night there has been no sleep, and she dozes as the kindly lake breathes it's spirit upon the land. In the tree above her sits the drowsy bird, forgetful of his song. The trill of early summer is but memory, that ripping melody

to which the fiedgling tried his wing. It is too hot to twitter.
 On the grass lies bald-headed man asleep. His snorei is a hot wave, au- dible. The shade and the sun plucks up a blister on his shining pate. Boys who feel no heat are. playing at the waters side. Down the slope comes the panting dog, hot but cringing from the spraying spurt of the water cart. Even the grass is hot, and far down the boulevard is zig-za dance of heated air. The whole of life is enervated. The spirit of all energy seems to have fled. The city is surrounded with list lessness.
 But down town the necessitous heart is >bea ting. The fat man puffs and blows and sighs and bends himself to labor. He is looking forward to va cation in the country at a place where every square yard of atmosphere holds two quarts of mosquitoes. He knows that he will come home pipped like nutmeg grater; he knows that the green scum of the pond is to be inject ed into his veins; he knows that the s on Ibarbed wire he is to tear his clothes, that in the farmers cellar he is to pant like lizard, drinking refresh ments" in the odor of dying sprouts and moldy potatoes. but with what joy does he look forward to it all!
 And his wifei To be relieved of household cares, how delightful it will be! Of course her boy will fall out of an apple tree, gasping out his breath upon the ardent air; following will come night of wakefulness, anxiety and arnica; and then the youngest daughter in opening the gate will ma sh her finger and spiteful SOW will fright en the baby and dog will bite Bobby and cat will scratch Louise-and the resting mother will take care of her own room, make the beds, do the sweeping-but it is vacation.
 The weather man is safe in saying that in sight there is no decided re- lief. The wisest thing weather man can do is to shake his head. A tenn pestuous cold wave, coming bull-head- ed, is of easy observation. He knows that unless it's course is diverted it will reach a certain point.
 But hot wave is more insinuating. It is not heady; it falters and feels about and settles down. And how long it is going to stay there no man can tell. Like the Arab, it may steal away in the night. But of its movements it does not apprise the weather man. With harsh, foddery rattle it laughs at him.

To be we'll corrected makes many a costume tell very different tale from bulging in one place, contract ing in another and sticking out at odd and irregular interyals-to a slim, shapely figure that can never fail of carrying off successfully any kind, sort or description of gown. All though the first expenditure may sound somewhat large, a really good, comfortable corset cannot be provid- ed for less than five dollars, running up the scale until one gets into the twenties. However, once armed with the like, the corset can be cleaned over and over again and be none the worse for it.

THE MODERN sTEERAGE.
It Is Not What It Is Generally sup- posed to Be-Reforms Recently
 Inaugurated.

The prevailing idea of the steerage of an ocean steamer is a mass of un- comfortable people, men, women and babies, packed in as closely as they can stand, cooking their own food, sleeping wherever they can find place to lie down on the deck and liv- ing like pigs or other animals in a foul atmosphere, writes William B. Cur tis, in the Chicago Record-Herald. That used toiibe the case, but on the big modern Atlantic liners the accom- modations in the steerage are much more comfortable and cleanly and healthful than the people who occupy them are accustomed to at home. Not only legislat tion but competition among the different companies has accomplished great reforms in this direction. The sanitary arrange ments are perfect. The methods of artificial ventilation by which foul air is forced out and pure air is forced in keeps them clean and sweet, and methods of construction have been adopted so that this can be done with a minimum of labor. The hunks are made of iron piping, the mattresses are of woven bands of iron, which yield to the body like ordinary bed springs; each passenger, instead of bringing his own bedding, as was for merly the practice, is given sufficient number of clean blankets and pillow. There are bathrooms and lavatory ac- commodations, which are purified by we'll known processes. The sexes are separated; the men sleep in one sec- tion. and the women in another, and each sex has it's own separate accom- modations. In the new ships of the Red Star line the steerage passengers are provided with an amusement room, piano and a library of books in four different languages. That is the latest innovation, and is very long stride from the old conditions that used to prevail upon the ordinary emigrant carrier.
