The Modern Stage.

w. B. Yeats, the Irish poet and play
wright now visiting this country, thinks
but poorly OF the modern stage. Here is
one of his utterances Acting is lmpos-
sible in the modern theatre. 1t is simply
impossible. There is an enormous stage
and enormous setting, reducing the act
ors to a picturesque group in the fore
ground Of landscape painting and
very poor painting it is. Would have
scenery abolished? Not entirely. | ad'
vocate exceeding simplicity. A dull back
ground, such as an artist uses for a por-
trait. No bizarre colors and harsh con-
trasts, but curtains and fiat masses OF
color. Even a great master painting

Don't Propose on Sunday.

A Philadelphia Judge has given an odd
decision in breach-of promise suit.
Evidence was brought forward proving
Enthusiastically that the defendant had
proposed marriageto the plaintiff. There
was no question either as to the pro
posal or as to its acceptance. But the
defendants lawyer put in evidence the
fact that the proposal had been made on
Sunday and based his defence on the plea
that therefore the declaration of the
defendant was null, void and Of no bind
ing effect. In this opinion the court con-
Cured. The proposal, it held, was a
perfectly genuine and bona fide specimen
of it's kind and would have been valid il
made on any other day of the week
Made upon Sunday it was worthless.

The Measurement of Saw Logs.

The Vermont Experiment Station has
lust issued bulletin 1872 discussing the
means of determining in advance OF
saving the actual number of board feet
in an average log. Many rules to this
end have been used; but none OF those
hitherto proposed have proved adequate
or accurate. A new rule is suggested
which seems a distinct advance over it's
predecessors and worthy of trial. YER
monters and Others who are interested
in such matters may get the bulletin
without charge. Such as desire to re-
ceive future issues without further notice
should ask that their name be put on the
mailing list. A postal card addressed to
the Experiment Station, Burlington,
Vermont, stating desires is sufficient.

Captain Otto Herlocker, OF the firm Of

During these times Of enterprise and
great commercial activity in the United
States, there is no industry that IL re-.
ceiving more attention or IN producing
better results than mining.
Every city has its great banks with
millions Of capital and millions Of de-
positors, paying millions in salaries to
their officers and millions in dividegds
to their stockholders.
The yearly product Of gold, silver,
lead and copper alone, II distributed
among the miners engaged in the diff
erent mining states producing these
metals, woull average from $1,000 to
1900 per man, or 10 times ~ much as
the per capita Of products Of all other
combined Industries.
Mining prolncts, with the exception
of coal which is consumed, are inceas.
ing our solid natural wealth, without
being destroyed, like the vegetable or
animal products.
And the most valuable products of
mines today are gold and copper. For.
merly u silver mine was second in value
u that which produced gold, but the
white metal has been superseded by
copper IN the public demand.
This is accounted for by the decrease
in the demand of silver for coinage aud
the increase in the demand for copper
in the arts, the result Oi its growing use
in the appliances of electricity and in
other fields of mechanical energy where
metal comes in contact with moisture,
for copper does not rust.
Silver brings comparatively small
prices in the market when IL is sold for
nse in the arts-for ornaments and for
table ware, for instance; aud the result
is that all through the west hundreds oi
silver mines have been closed.
But the total mining output oi the
country has not suffered ON account Of
this, Tor copper has risen until now il
stands next to gold in practical com
mercial value.
The development To enormous pro-
portions of the copper mining industry
Of the country has come about in the
last ~ years, the demand having grown

ing electricity, Investors journal.

sition that he Is entitled to a large
share of the credit of the HaZelton
lodges successful one time few years
ago the lodge came near surrendering
its charter, but Mr.. Afford opposed it
vigorously and kept on working and
every member is now under obligations
to HIM for keeping it on its feet.
The entertainment was not strictly
public affair, but each member had the
,, privilege of inviting two guests. One
, hundred and fifty were present and they
were nice lot of people. Many came
from quite distance from the city
