 "Baccarat," the latest play to be pro- duced in America by Monsieur Henri Bernstein, author of "Israel,'' is society drama typifying the ancient and favorite theme of the playwrights. "Baccarat'' has for its theme that of handsome and wealthy woman's love for a wortnless man. She Is the Countess Helene, woman supposedly of impeccable virtue, willing to sacrifice everything for the man in trouble. There is strong scene between Helene and her father when the aged man tries to unmask the scoundrei and save his daughters name.
 The Shuberts are producing 'Baccarat' and Madame Marietta Oily plays the role of Countess Helene in striking manner. Mir. Albert plays the role of the Countess father Franklin West and Thurslow Bergen are in the cast.

acterists of our two great salons have lately become commonplace and insig- nificant. With modern sculpture 1t is the same. Popular opinion has decreed Rodin to be our greatest sculptors. The critics and the snobs rake this their duty. Yet his trick consists simply in exhibiting works that have not been finished. He delights in mysterious chaos from which emerge half finished mysterious forms.
 It seems to ne the same with our merest spectacle. Sardou's success ruined French dramatic art. It now only aims to please the eye by gorgeous show and the ear tsome ears) by lascivious words. The lubticious of the old Roman play right Terence were not whit worse than our modern French society plays.

PUeNAcIrY OF. EAGLE OWLS
Many Cases on Record In Which They
Have Made Attacks on
Human Beings.

On his way home one evening last
October from HARDENING railway
station. in central Sweden, young
man when passing through a small
wood was vigorously attacked by an
eagle owl, relates a writer in The
Field. Alighting on his shoulder. the
bird inflicted some severe wounds
with its powerful beak and claws, and
when beaten of 1t carried on his cap
in token of victory.
Some years ago several similar at.
tacks by eagle owls occurred during
the summer months in the province
OF Vester Gotland, in one of which
an unfortunate old man lost an eye.
q correspondent of the Swedish
,5,ert bdical Fran Skog och sio states
thtd in the part of Vermeland to

at once came on again. when a blow
from his az put an end to its further
attentions. A peasant in the parish
of Stammar, Nerike. had q similar
experience in April last. He was
fetching water from q lake close by
his house when an eagle owl sud
denly flew at him. A kick made It
retire a few yards, when it came in
contact with the fence. THIS seemed
to irritate it, for it returned to the
attack, but the man seized It by the
neck. tucked 1t under his arm and
carried 1t of home.
On the way the owls mate kept ny.
ing around in unpleasantly close prox-
unity. Ultimately the captor had to
dispatch his prisoner. his wife and
children being much scared at its
formidable aspect.
