other door. at the back Of the stage,
these can be utilized as part of the
scenery" Of the stage fittings.
The stage must be raised about two
feet above the floor. A simple frame
work can be laid up as suggested In
the first illustration, without using any
nails whatever. Three-by-four joists
can be cut to the right lengths and
placed as shown, stout blocks or boxes
holding the joists at the proper height
above the floor. On these timbers the
floor Is laid, the first board being
shown In position In the illustration.
Openings cut In this first board give q
chance to set ordinary hand lamps upon
the cross-wise timber, to serve as foot
lights" tin shields being tackled In
front Of them as suggested.
A very simple method, also shown lr
this same illustration, Is used for hang
ing the curtain in front Of the stage
and for making wings at the side Of
the stage. Stout screw-eyes are placed
In the walls on either side at proper
distances, and from these, wires are

Western Growth.

Apropos of the mushroom growth of
new towns on the Western frontier a
locomotive engineer relates the follow
ing:
Zone day l was driving my engine
across the prairie when suddenly con-
siderable town loomed up ahead where
nothing had showed up the day before
"'What towns thisT says I to my
fireman.
"'BIamed II know says Bill. II
wasn't here when we went over the
road yesterday
swell, I slowed down, and directly
we pulled into the station, where over
FIVE hundred people were waiting or
the platform to see the first train come
In.
"The conductor came along up from
and says to me:
"'Jim, first we know we'll be run
ming by some important place. Get this
town down on your list and I'll put 9
brakeman out on the rear platform tt
watch out for towns that spring W
after the train gets by y.'"-Minneapoli'

the stage. On the one In front the cur
tain Is hung, while upon the others are
hung narrow strips of cloth to form
the wings This plan is plainly shown
In the second illustration, which also
shows the footlights In position, and
the front of the stage covered with
cloth or paper.
The floor can be covered with large
''art square" or rug, or with piece of
common carpeting. The curtains in
front should be as light as possible, un-
less very stout wire and screw eyes are
used.
If door Is desired at the back of
the stage, and no door Is ready at hand
in the rear partition, curtain can
be hung clear across the stage on the
rear wire, with an opening in the CEN
ter, where portiere can be hung.
The stage furnishings, chairs, tables
couches, ETC., will depend, of course
upon the nature Of the play; but II
should be remembered that handsome
setting" of the stage will add much to
the attractiveness Of the entertainment

Siberia a Fertile Land.

Siberia, so far from being country
of desolation, is In some districts as
green and fertile land as Australia.
Probably the Russins themselves have
no very definite ideas about the mar
velous fertility of this territory, which
occupies so large a space on the map
Of Asia. The soil Is Of great richness,
and the crops, wherever the country Is
cultivated, are of almost phenomenal
abundance. For the most part 1t has
lain idle so long that its productive
power is almost illimItable. The forest
tracts are luxuriant, and the natural
irrigation system magnificent. There
is room In Siberia for millions Of colon
lists, and an abundant living for them

after the visitor from the city had re-

Henry a power of good to get away from

breathe the fresh air. He says it's all
right to talk about the comforts and con-
veniences of city life, and all that, but

"I'm glad he thinks So" said Mrs.

Planting Trout.

1t was the policy of the officers of a
certain railroad line, in all their ad-
vertising matter, to place great stress
on the excellence of the trout-fishing
to be reached by their lines; and in
order to provide the trout, 1t was neces-
sary from time to time 70 plant the
advertised streams with fry.
On one occasion an old gardener
named Conelly, who had charge of the
station grounds, was sent out with the
cans of fry, procured from the State
hatchery, and railroad map, marked
to show exactly where to plant the tiny
fish.
Conelly returned that night, how,
ever, with part Of the fry still un
planted. He needed further instruc
tlons from the general passenger agent
who had marked the map.
