That Richard Mansfield can write as
we'll as act is amply proved in his paper
in the May Atlantic" on Man and the
Actor. 1t is a searching study of the
meaning of an actors life and existing
conditions upon the American stage, at
once clear headed and eloquent. Mr..
Mansfield is especially interesting in what
he has to say about the prevalence OF
acting in real life about amateur acting
about stage business, and about the great
need of a national theatre. So vivacious
and picturesque is his literary manner
that the article is as entertaining as it
is instructive.

Where beef scrap is fed from hop
per it should not be mixed with their
grain. but kept In compartment Of its
own, says Reliable Poultry Journal. IF
birds have not been accustomed to hay
ing beef scrap always before them they
may eat too much and so develop bow
ell trouble If care is taken to see that
the beef scrap hopper never gets empty
and that it is always working freely
the birds will, as rule, soon get over
eating too much, but it is sometimes
necessary to take away the scrap alto
gether and only feed it occasionally,
giving it either in mash food or feed
ing it dry, according to the convenience
Of the poultry keeper. Where it is fed
in the mash the larger proportion is
from fifteen to twenty pounds of scrap
to each hundred pounds of dry ground
grain. Care must be taken to see that
the scrap is pure and of good quality.
If it is salty. lumpy or has an extreme
~ foul odor it is not desirable food.

Zealand shipping company's steamship
Kaikoura is the only old tar who does
not allow his voyages It sea to con
fiict with his poultry fancy. During

journal. and 1t gave him a severe case
Of hen fever, so he wrote home to his
wife asking her to subscribe to the
journal and read 1t regularly, saving
each copy for himself, that be might
have something to read on his long
voyages. The captains ship plies be-
tween England and New Zealand,
touching at Cape Town, South Africa.
He soon became an ardent Orpingtol
fancier and took with him few roony
pens holding some good Black and Buff
Orpingtons He buys a good quality
of stock birds at home and sells them
in Cape Town and other points he
touches on his voyages. The captain
says be has his coops cleaned twice
daily and uses sea sand for the coop
floors except when crossing the Indian
ocean, when he mixes sawdust with
this to provide warmth The captain
has learned bit about Orpingtons,
too, for he finds his trade very partic-
ular. The birds he buys for export
are large and Of maturity to lay, SO
he always has fresh eggs, which he
says are dearly relished by his lady
passengers on his long runs. When he
meets sister vessels in the path his
good ship takes he says they hoist the
