This is one of a variety of thoughts that occurr to tho spectator of tho modern feminine "split'' dance, which is an exhibition of anatomical possibilities that has proved sufflcicntlly alluring to call for its introduction into nearly all clai-see of theatricals. kHRbbHH O I AC 12 AJIVIA. ISAHCIIC. Oaly four of the five fomalo dancers awl-, OlAtAlnttf1'a frtrttviaiwklst BnnikOVOtl of I VIIU VIvlVIQIIU Wf iiiiiiRiitin via , t tho Lansing Thursday night tho other one was sick. But theso four did enough kicking and splitting for an army. The "split" that was given was no sham. It was genuino and it wub moro than a yard wide. The young women came down kerplunk on tho stage with their limbs in o posito directions, and instead of coming to pieces they sat there and smiled. tp one can witness the split, and in justico to Mr. Cleveland, tho minstrel, not tho president, it should be stated that the samples given Thursday night were tho proper caper, without coming away with an inci eased respect for tho feminine phjsical make-up. It is a thing not 1 be lightly regarded. It can stand some piotty tough knocks. For about tlvo minutes the Luusiug stage was a iiiiielfitioni of legs. Tho heads anil other encumbrances of the dancers w ere only now and then their visible. Legs were thrown about, pro jected to dizzy heights, slummed on tho floor, and thing around generally in a dizzy manner that recalled visions of tho Midway Pluisance. The dance was done as gracefully as such an exhibition can bo done. It is called a dance by courtesy. The minstrel show that was attached to the dtinco-wus very much liko all minstrel shows. Tho vocal parts wero particularly good, notably Will Wallh g, whose phenomenal tenor voice was hoard to excellent advantage in a song of the "After The Hull" aerie. During tho evening a small portion of the ceiling fell down, but it is asserted with some show of feeling that this little incident wus in no way caused by anything that occurred on tho stage.

Miss Snrtelle is a handsomo woman who has shown herself to bo a capable actress, and there is said to bo n decided novelty in "A Plum Pudding" that is very tak ing. Miss Sartello will be seen in Lin coln only one night, September 2ft. Charles Fiohmun talked about his various attractions tho other day as follows: "Yes, I withdrow 'Fanny,' be cause, I paw the public did not liko it. It don't do to try a play which tho pub lic don't care for nud 'Jano' will fill out 'Fanny's' time at tho Standard theatro.

The theatro ho niay havo, and he deserves to have tho foromost theatro In this country; but wo havo no fear that Mr. Daly con templates transforming himself into a cad and a sycophant. Ho has the spirit of splendid independence, Lolo Fuller says she discovered tho possibilities of dratwry in dancing by moro chance. "A friend of mine," says tho dancer, "sent me from Calcutta a Nautch girl's dress, and I put it on. I began to pose before a largo mirror and dance about, holding tho edge of tho voluminous skirls in my hands. Tho strong sunlight shining through a stained glass window fell upon mo and tho air caught tho silk and tloated it about mo in graceful and fantastic forms." Miss Fuller has traced tho origin of drapery dunces to Miriam, sister of Aaron. Camlllo d'Arvlllo, who has more crea tive ability than any singer on tho American light operatic stage, iscroditcd by tho Boston press as making "tho em phatic success" of tho now Byrno-Kerkor opera "Venus." Mllo. d'Arvlllo was for two seasons tho prima donna of the Bostonluns, and it is surmised that her potent personality in that popular or ganization will be very difficult to re place. Messrs. Byrne and Korker were forced to secure her services at a high tlguro, but tho apparently extravagant movo was ovidontly wlso nud economical on tho part of the enterprising manage ment. Robert Tabor, lately loading man with tho Julia Marlnwo company, has been ongaged by tho Coghlans as a member of their company, and will play tho part of Captain Julian Beaucterc, alternating with Mr. Sullivan, probably.

The color of clgaf wrupei h lumpiest Ion of fashion. Sometimes the light colored wrapper is the most popular, then again tho dark wrapper is the ono tinut used, Just now the light colored wrnpier made from the Connecticut leaf is having its day, and It to bringing a high prico In the market. The Connecticut valley is one of tho oldest tobacco growing districts in the United States, and the quality of the to bacco there grown ranks with the beet in the world, The industry has made many poor men wealthy, and from Hartford north to tho state line the country is dotted with magnificent homes built, u it were, on n foundation of "straight to great an outlay of money Is neces sary to the growth of tobacco in this lo cality that a man of moderate means li barred out of it. It in a way of in vesting thousand of dollars so that they will draw n largo rato of Interest. To produce n fine grade of tobacco the Connecticut valloy land must bo richly fertilised, and for that purpose hundreds of tons of stable offal nro shipped an nually from Now York city at an im mense outlay of money. Some growers think that there is moro vlrtuoln cotton seed meal and Indian meal and plaster their land witli them, often bringing the cost or fortillrutioii up to f 60 an aero, and as tho uverago tobacco farm con tains 8.1 acres it will bo booh that ferti lising it costs each year a round sum of money. The growth of tbe tobacco plant is slow and attended with much labor. Tho most of tho tobacco grown in Connecti cut is from Cuba seed that is sown in hot beds as early as tho COth of March. The plants are sot out from tho 1st to tho 15th of Juno about 0) feet apart. If it is a hot, dry season, tho young plants aro protected by green grass that is sproad over them during tho day and removed at night. Tho plants are carefully nursed until they are fivo or six inches high. Then hoeing begins and is kept up until the last of August, when harvest com mences. The tobacco worm, if left to itself, plays aad havoo with the plant. It is a voracious creature and destroys with great rapidity. It gets upon the under aide of the leaf and ,eaU a small round hole through it rendering it useless as a wrapper and sending the leaf, down to the third grade. Each plant in a tobacco field .most be carefully inipeoted each day and these worms destroyed. An other menace to the plant andoneagainit which there is no protection to called the "August ball." it uahallttora peculiar to the valle v from the 1st to the SOth of August. It cnta the leavee badly, and in afewminut .4 will damage many thou and dollars' worth of property. If left to itself, the tobacco plant growl tall and blossom at the top like the arallen. In order that the loaves may grow large, the main stalk is cut off several inches from the top. This is called "topping;" aad it takes placeabout tho middle of August. The stalk; at the point whore it is cnt, sends forth a res inous substance that covers the wound and in a few hours hardens. From this timo tho leaves grow very rapidly. The time at which the cutting begins depends upon tho growth of the plant. Ordinarily tho work commences Sept. 1. Tho stalk is cut closo to the ground and allowed to lio several hours in the sun until it is wilted. The leaves are then tough. When first cut, they nro brittlo and in handling aro apt to break. When they havo been exposed to tho sun long enough, tho stulks lira removed to tho tobacco bams. Tho tobacco burns aro long buildings, so made that the sides and ends may be opened on hinges. Tliero aro ventilators in tho roof and small doors in tho sides ut tho bottom and top so arranged '''lit the ventilation may bo reguluted to Miit the wcuther. Running across these barns from wall to wall are two tiers of slats or wires, and upon these tho to bacco stalks are hung, top down, by means of a nail that is driven slanting wise through the bottom of the stalk. The curing process continues several weeks, much depending on the weather, and during that time the greatest cau tion is observed to see that the ventila tion is favorable to perfectly coloring the leaves, as it is upon this that their value depends. The change of color in coring tobacco is largely due to a process of fermentation which takes place in the hanging leaves and for which a certain amount of moisture iu tho leaf is abso lutely necessary. It is necessary that tho air should circulate freely around each loaf. If tho leaves are dried too rapidly, the veins show white and shin ing and aro rendered low in grade. When the proper or desired color in the icut is readied, tno tobacco is given ' greater ventilation and rapidly dried ' out. This ii culled "fixing tho color." Tmi urttix fu mntinnn1 until le- lu onLI I "" " mivuhvvm us! tv to DUiUt ' In tho curing houses it is threatened with "pnlo burn" und "stem rot," n disease that is caused by the plant being cut too green or by a too damp atmosphere. It makes its appearance in tho stem of the plunt aud rapidly spreads to the tips of tho leaves. When cured, tho leaves are stripped from tho stalks and sorted. The leaves growing in tho middle of tho stalk are called prime wrappers or first qual ity Thero aro two lower grades. The leaves ure packed fiat and closely pressed together in half pound pucktiges, in which form they uro sold. Somotimeu a tobacco raiser doesn't get his crop ready for the market until midwinter. The price commanded by Connecticut leaf varied from 10 cents a ouud for the loweht grade to 45 rents a pound for first grade. N Thomas Hoi.mks.
