Unconvcntionanty Rules.

Mr.. Barker divides the comedy into
two acts the second shorter. and con-
tanning chiefly the play in the palace
scene. The first division was devoted
to the trick of Ob.ron, the difficulties
OF the lovers. Titdnid's passages OF de-
luded fascination. admirably played by
Ernest Cossart. and the pranks of tho
fairies. There was nothing else that
added so much TO the unconventionality
and freshness OF this performance as
the use of the platform stage with its
three steps to the inner stage The dis
dain OF the respect once shown the
proscenium is revolutionary. II no
longer serves as the revered frame for
the picture. Years ago Emma Calve in
the first act of Carmen usei to lean
against the proscenium arch OF the
Metropolitan opera Hou TO the horror
of the conservative. who hated to see a
convention Of the stage destroyed in that
way. They should see Mr.. Barker's ~
Midsummer Nights Dream" There
the proscenium is treated as IL it were
a part of the scenery.
But this use seems the best adapted
to "a Midsummer Nights Dream" y,
recent revival OF tho play has been
nearly so imaginative and picturesque
as his. With all the facilities OF the
theatre employed to picture the out OF
doors. scenes of the comedy. there ha.
never been such Illusion Of unreallty as
the simple means employed by Mr..
Wilkinson and Mr.. Barker produced
Yet Mr.. Wilkinson's forest could not
possibly have been mistaken for any
thing OF the kind. II was a forest FOR
fllryland If ever one existed. A green
hillock rose TO a peak in the centre Of
the stage Directly over II hung 4
conventionalized wreath OF flowers and
fruit suspended, like Mohammed's coffin
between heaven and earth. About the
stage in a scmlcircle were separate
pillars of cloth painted vaguely like
the green Of a forest. Back OF them
was the glimpse of blu sky.
II was IN this scene. which had all the

John Muir Relates How, by Their

1t appears natural for children to
be fond of water, although the Scotch
method Of making every duty dismal
contrived to make necessary bathing
for health terrible to US. I we'll re-

ant to the seashore when I was be-
tween two and three years old.
stripped at the side of deep pool in
the rocks, plunged into it among craw-
ling crawfish and slippery wriggling
snake-like cells, and drawn up gasp
ing and shrieking only to be plunged
down again and again. As the time
approached for this terrible bathing
I used to hide in the darkest corners
of the house, and oftentimes a long
search was required to find me. But
after we were few years older we
enjoyed bathing with other boys as
we wandered along the shore. careful
however not to get into pool that
had an invisible boy-devouring mon
ster at the bottom of 1t. Such pools,
miniature maelstroms, were called
"Sookin-in-goats." and were we'll
known to most of U.S. Nevertheless
we never ventured into any pool on
strange parts Of the coast before we
had thrust a stick into 1t. II the stick
we're not pulled out Of our hands we
boldly entered and enjoyed FLASHING
and ducking long ere we had learned
to swim.-John Muir, In Atlantic.

Farm Frost Maps.

Placing troops in exposed and dam
gerous positions during an attack and
planting crops on points Of land most
likely TO be affected with early killing
frosts are alike foolhardy and waste
ful practices.
Why not make a frost map of the
farm? Now is the best time to do it,
when the first signs of the winter sol
stice begin to appear, according TO Eric
r. Miller. forecaster of the United
States weather bureau, University of
Wisconsin, Madison.
Such surveys are Il simple thing TO
make on some morning after an eSpe-
cialy hard frost has left its marks
upon vegetation, declares Mr.. Miller.
With the data obtained from survey
of this kind or from series of surveys
it is easy to draw frost map of the
farm FOR future reference ut crop plant
ing time. Crops with an extra long
growing season or with an uncertain
late of maturity could then be planted
with greater security from early frost
damage.
Crops injured by the August frost Of
this year already serve as indications
81 the making of farm frost maps,
while farmers whose fields have not
been touched by the killer still have
n chance to learn lesson in frost dam.

The Blue of Sapphires.

Star sapphires are generally Of a
gray!sh blue tint, and the star is ex-
hibited in its greatest perfection when
looked at by the light of the sun or a
candle, The sapphire is found of all
tints and shades of blue, but the color
which approximates to the shade for
merry called "bleu do roi' is the most
valuable. A really fine sapphire should
appear blue by artificial light as well
as by day. This stone is found in
crystals generally of much larger size
than the ruby, The name sapphire is
perhaps the only one which runs
through all languages with very slight
alteration-the Hebrew name sapphir.

conventionaIity Is a ryrant.

There is little doubt that one of the
most oppressive, injurious, detestnble
forces in the world is the force of con
ventionality, that instinct which makes
men judge character and an action not
by its beauty or its merits, but by com
pairing it with the standard of how the
normal man would regard it, writes
Arthur c. Benson. This vast and in
tolerable medium of dizziness. which
penetrates our lives like Il thick, dark
mist, allowing us only to see the object
in range of an immediate vision, hostile
to all originality, crushingly respect
able. that dictates our homes, our oc-
equations, our amusementS, our emo
lions, our religion, Is the most ruthless
and tyrannical thing In the world.

One pound of liquid for every thirty

used for every 200 cubic feet of space
above the grain in the bin.
The liquid may be thrown directly on
the grain without injury, but better re

shallow pans. scattered over the sur

may be poured upon old rags or cot

not more than Il pound should be pour
