WYOMING'S aSPIflATIOPiS.
Sho Hastens to Present Her CI aims
For Statehood.
Ciieykknf., Wyo., Feb. '25. The ad
mission of four m.'W states is received
witli much satisfaction in Wyoming, the
opinion being strengthened that Wyom
ing's turn for adrmi-sion will now follow
very soon. The Wyomingites are eager
and unanimous for statehood. Democrats
and republicans alike are working for
admission. The territory cannot be
Counted as politically safe for either
party, and if admitted as a state is as
likely to be democratic as republican,
even though a . republican delegate has
been elected for the past three terms.
The population of the territory is grow
ing at the rate of 15,000 yearly. Outside
Capital is being attracted to the resources
of oil, coal and iron, and developments
are beiug made which arc bringing a
large immigration into the territory. A
number of lines of railway are heading
for Wyoning aud the coming year will
witness an amount of railway growth
unprecedented in the history of the terri
tory. An enabling act passed during the
present year will bring Wyoming in as a
sttte with population and wealth suffi
cient to rival many of the older states.
'Wanted to. Tiorrow Horseshoes.
In the pioneer days of New Hamp
shire articles of ornamentation were al
most unknown, and most articles of use
were rare.
In 17C9 there wero in the town of
Sanbornton but three horses, three great
coats, and two men each owned a pair
of boots.
It is said that tho first person who had
shoes upon his horso gave great offense
to a neighbor, who was nbout to go on a
journey, by refusing to lend his horse
shoes to bo used on tho occasion.

AMATEUR THEATRICALS.
Utiles Which. If Observed. Slay Insure
Ifaruionioas Performances.
Choose a leading part in some popular
play and permit nobody to guess that
you think you can act it.
Fersuade a number of your friends
that a needy charity is in need and that
acting begins at home.
After inoculation permit them to set
themselves by the ears over the choice
of a play. When you think matters have
gone far enough suggest your own as a
compromise.
This having been arranged to your
satisfaction, proceed to ingratiate your
self with the stage manager by telling
liim wliat has been said behind his back
by tho other members of the cast. If he
don't resign he will offer you the leading
part.
Before deciding upon your costume
wait until you learn what your most
dangerous rival in tho company intends
to wear. As soon as you receive the de
sired information take the advice of your
dressmaker.
Study your part with care. At re
hearsal miss your cue whenever you can
and apologize sweetly. lie on your
guard against betraying the business you
intend to introduce when you have the
stage to yourself, and m general allow
tho other actors to derive the opinion
that nothing but a regard for your feel
ings prevents the stage manager from re
questing you to resign the part that has
been assigned to you. In the meantime
cultivate the manager.
Give no trouble about your dressing
room. Say that a corner and a table are
all you care for. Choose the best corner,
however, and bring a chest of drawers
containing everything you can possibly
need in a quantity suilicient to prevent
your lending to other members of the
company. When suggestions are offered
to you as to where you ought ' to stand,
how to speak and when Jo gesticulate,
adopt each in turn as it is made. Per
mit tho leading man, who will of course
be your lover, to gradually evolve the
theory that though you cannot act, you
aro not stiff or prudish, and that you are
a nice little thing. Agree with him
when he objects to sliaving his mustache.
When he whispers under his breath that
lie wishes the play were reality, smile
and blush.
From time to time applaud the others,
especially when they overact, and say
mournfully: "Oh, I wish you all were
not so much better than I!" You may
also contrive to impress each of your as
sociates privately with the notion that
you consider him or her the star of the
troupe. This you will not fmd difficult.
When you press people to buy tickets,
say, "Oh you must come! Mr. Biggies is
so funny! and Miss Lascellea is going tc
look so lovely in court dress, don't you
know! and Mr. Tollderoll is to be my
lover," and then permit your hearers tc
guess from your expression that there is
more in Mr. Tolideroll's love making than
you yourself imagine.
Mr. Tollderoll may say more about the
stage directions for the reconciliation
scene than perhajis he ought. Of course,
realism is not for a moment to bethought
of, but there, can be no great reason why
Mr. Tollderoll should not be allowed tc
mislead himaelf with false expectations.
If you choose to mako him jealous of Mr.
Biggies, very well, but bo careful to re
turn to a goed understanding with him
before the dress rehearsal. As for Miss
Iiscelles, you may disarm her by turn
ing Mr. Tollderoll over to her for a half
hour or so whenever practical;!? aiid by
telling her in stricf rotilldeiico. that he (s
afraid of falling in Jove with her because
he has so little money.
Improve a little jrj your aotlqg as the
dress rehearsal draws nigh so aa not tc
take your associates entirely by surprise.
Suggest to the manager that you are
only n rvoua over the result of the play.
A:i roon as it is too late for Hiss I.ascelles
to change her dress chow her yuurs, fv
seen drinking coiTcu before the pljy
begins, end Ktand as near the footlights
a-j yon can so ;;! to get yourself flushed.
When the curtain u rung up exhibit a
lltlla natural timidity at first, but grad
ually recover from that, and as tho plaj
proceeds have pq mercy pn any one
except Mr. Tollderoll, whom yoii, will, of
course, encourage. When you are called
out after the first act insist that they are
applauding Misa lLasceiles, and that Bhe
must go out alone; after the second go
out with her, and after tho third go out
alone. The next day meet Mr. Tollderoll
in the street and smile at him mildly. If
ho joins you go into a shop. Philadel

. Itafas Cook's Good Advice.
Rufus Cook, a civil and sanitary en
gineer, has addressed an open letter to
the city council of Minneapolis, in which
he makes some pertinent and valuable
suggestions on the subject of city sani
tation. He states that with the growth
of cities there is a constant tendency to
tho accumulation of unsanitary condi
tions. Sanitary work consists in the
application of preventive measures rather
than curative, the latter being the prov
ince of the physician. To insure this
sanitary work being fully carried out,
ample funds should be appropriated to
the health department.
People need to be taught that what
they eat, drink and breathe has an im
portant relation to their health and hap
piness, and to maintain human existence
in its highest state requires pure air,
pure water and pure food, and these sup
plemented by a pure soil. As purity of
air is first in importance, the best system
of heating and ventilation should be ap
plied to all public and private buildings.
A good plumbing law is one of the most
effective 6teps in sanitary progress that
tho city can possibly have. Mr. Cook
quotes from the New Jersey board of
health: "Most of our cities are 6till far
behind in tho details of approved sani
tary administration, and in those finan
cial provisions, therefore, which are nec
essary for the health of the people. In
the work of sanitary inspection and ad
vice, and in the general oversight of the
people, we find a field of operation which
might be largely extended to the great
advantage of our citizens." The Sani
tary News.
Tobacco Used ia Europe.
The total tobacco consumption of Eu
rope is about 21 pounds by each inhab
itant. In the Netherlands the proportion
is a little over 7 pounds to each inhab
itant; in Austria-Hungary, 9,8 pounds; in
Denmark, 3.7 pounds; in Switzerland 8.3
pounds; in Belgium, 8,2 pounds; in Ger
many, 3 pounds; in Norway, 2,3 pounds;
in France, 2,1 pounds; in Sweden, nearly
3 pounds; in Spam, 1.7 pounds; ir reat
Britain and Ireland. pounds; in
Italy, 1.25 ptus, and in Russia, 1.2
pouinis. in tho United States the pro
portion is said to be greater than that of
any Luronean country except Holland

A Standing Query.
"How is it," asks Thackeray, on one of
hLs most characteristic pagest "that the
evil which meq gay spreads bq widely
and lasts so long, whilst our good, kind
words, don't seem somehow to take root
and bear blossoms? Certain it is that
scandal is good brisk, talk, whereas praise
of one'g neighbor ia by no means lively
hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored,
deviled and served with mustard and
cayenne pepper, excites the appetite;
whereas a slice of cold friend, with cur
rant jelly, is but a sickly, unrelishing
meat." '
