The Plots of Operas.

From the Chicago Journal.
Magazine editors complain that the
average story writer is more concerned
with the plot of tale than with the
workmanship of il. He will spend much
time and thought to. get Il good, logical
framework for his story, and then slight
all other parts of the writer's art so
badly that the entire product is useless.
The case is quite otherwise with the op-
cratic stage. There is the plot which suf-
ferS, which is slighted. distorted. Smoth-
cred under q craZy-quilt of inconsist-
encies. There are many good operas. but
to get the full enjoyment of them the
spectator must be able to ignore the i'm
possible plot of the stage story.
Considered merely as a story. the aver
age opera is what Mrs. Malaprop would
call a mice arrangement" of murders,
miracles. poison. conspiracy. intrigue,
adultery, cruelty; of impossible crimes
committed for unthnkable motives.

Rritain,s Standing Army.

The British standing army is much
more modern institution than most
people imagine. 1t dates from 1916,
when the famous new model' was es-
tablished by act of the long parlia-
ment and maintained in existence I'M
til the restoration. This army, which
was organized by Cromwell, consisted
of some $4,000 men and was probably
the most effective army that England
has ever possessed. But the cost was
so great that on his restoration Charles
II. agreed to its abandonment, except
a bodyguard or household brigade of
5000 sanctioned by parliament, which
included Monks Coldstream regiment
and two troops of cavalry raised by
Charles himself. which formed the
originals of the present Life guards
London Standard.
