probably knows the story of Little Lord Fauntleroy,' there is no need of speaking of the detail of the play here. The chief figure is, of course, the little lord himself, and in this production the part is taken by Doris Horsfin, a sweet and clever little maid of ten, who makes a capital boy with velvet knick- erbockers and flowing curls. Her voice is not the childish squeak of some stage children we have seen, but full and strong like that of a sturdy boy. Helen Masury played the part of the little lords mother. Mrs. Errol, and Leonard Broughton was the gouty and crotchety old grandfather. Catherine Campbell was Minna. the adventures. Johnnie McGuire was the irrepressible boot black, the particular friend of the lit tie lord through thick and thin.
 It is a great play for the children and not less so for their elders. The com pany is adequate and the scenery pret- ty.

 MT, Henry B.

"Cashel By : ron's Profession is a romantic comedy fin three acts, the first showing a glen in Wilstoken Park near the lodge; the second the conservatory of Mrs. Ros- kyn's London house during the pro- gress of a Sunday evening at home;
 the third the lodge in Wilstoken Park. It relates the love of Lydia Carey, a young woman of excellent family, pos- sessed of ultra-nodern ideas, for Cash e~el Byron, a fighting man, who is the champion of England and Australia. Their mutual attraction is skillfully de- lineated in passages of high comedy in q Characteristic Bernard Shaw vein
 The two leading roles of Cashel Byron and Lydia Carew are particularly well fitted to James J. Corbett and Margaret \ Wycherly. James J.

Green Cut Bone VS.. Beef Scrap.

The following question and answer
from the Reliable Poultry Journal,
explain themselves:
Q Why have you ceased to rec
Ommend green cut bone as much as
formerly, or why do you advise the
use of beef scraps so much more than
formerly? Has the green cut bone
not been used successfully, or is it
BrOOkland. ID. G.
inferior to beef scrap? A. +. w.
A.-The chief reason is that it is
more convenient to feed beef scrap.
1t is not always possible to get a sup
ply of green bone that is all right and
cutting the bone is certainly hard
labor even with improved machinery
Green cut bone is an excellent food
and gives good results. The beef
scrap is simply a more convenient and
labor saving form of animal food
Green cut bone to give satisfactory
results must be fed Immediately after
cutting, except in very cold weather,
since it heats and spOils very quickly.
There is also the same objection to it
that there is to feeding any raw
meat food. We like to feed green cut
bone to our fowls and do so whenever
we can obtain supply conveniently
that we know is of good quality.

Guinea Fowls for Watch Dogs.
