The Development Which They Have Undergone in Recent Years. From the London Globe. Attention has recently been called, through the medium of a law case, to the important subject of stage deaths. We have had cele- brated expirers in court, the evidence of ex- perts on rival methods of dying, opposing coun- sel dropping into jokes, and playing up to one another ine friendly manner, as amiably as a couple of topical duettists, Iam glad to see 80 much notice given to what is a pet subject of mine, Ihave followed the play now for many years, and it has always been my ambition to be “in at the death;” and this not merely for the sake of the sensation, but from sound dramatic conviction, We say in common life that a good beginning makes a good ending, but it is otherwise on the stage; there the end- ing is everything, and the beginning next to nothing. This is true both phy: .

DEVELOPMENT OF STAGE DEATHS, The stage death has undergone considerable development of late years, which shows that the British drama is still fullof sap. The high- toned actor of the past used to be content with folding his martial cloak around him and dying with case and dignity; while the commoner sort of actor came down with one full “flop,” and all was over. In no case were there more than two or three gasps indulged in, and not a gurgle was tobe heard. The actress, also,when she had to expire, expired. But things are very different now. The death scene is a drama by itself, and must be “something lingering.” as the mikado observes, showing his keen sense of art. It is true we have not got to.the “‘some- thing with boiling oil in it,” but that may come in good time. Modern British stage death owes a good deal to the great Salvini, When that accomplished actor brought Othello round these provinces, the death he made of him was | a revelation to professf®nals, public and dead- heads alike. I well remember that death, from start to finish. There wasa fine thrust of the dagger, which you were prepared to swear went all the way in, and then Othello fell, en masse on the stage, but he was not yet dead, as a common actor would have been. There were allegro whittlings of the instrument round and our spine; and each whittle was accompanied by orte convulsions of the gentleman's person. take breath, and then da capo rallentando, 1 have no notion how long this went on by the | dial, but it seemed about an hour and a half by my sensations, and when we got to the grand climax and the final quiescence, I was both hungry and thirsty. SARAH'S EXAMPLE. What Signor Salvini did for English actors, Madame Bernhardt did for the actresses. opened up to them new possibilities and re elations in the art of expiring. which ‘they have done their best to profit I always go tosee Sarah when she comes, for the sake of her lovely deaths. I take my nephew with me I do not understand French, and he tells me all about the piece, for he has had several courses of lessons, besides spending a fortnight in Paris. Ithink Frou Frou te her favorite death with me. The history of this lady. being very affecting, prepares’ the mind well for the catastrophe. My nephew does not seem quite clear as to what takes place at the beginning, but anyhow I can make this out; that early in the play she meets with a man who seems to make her ill every time they look at each other, and she goes on meeting him and getting worse and worse all through the piece. At one time I fear consumption for her, at another I think it must be scarlet fever that is coming on, then I hesitate between chronic rheumatism and paralysis, and afterward am sure it is slow poi- son. most lingering death I ever saw by dying out- right. This is by far the most complete death on the stage, because it begins almost as soon as the curtain goes up, and keeps on climaxing all through. Sarah's other deaths, though, are by no means small beer. There isa very fine death in that play where there is an Armand, who my nephew tells me was her brother, and where there is a big scene between her and her father when he finds she has been secretly writing a novel, and commands her either to give up the manuscript or leave the house for- ever. And I do not despise the other one, where she smells the flowers, and turns all sorts of colors one after the other, from the peony tothe primrose. But still give me Frou Frou for my mokey—I should say my order, Sarah has now several earnest disciples in this country. They are decidedly clever, though I cannot say of any one of them that she is it to die by the side of Sarah. Nevertheless, they are improving by close study and observation of nature, e legal case to which I haye re- ferred proves the amount of care they now take. In the olden times, when characters died on the stage by poison, the symptoms were a ways the same in all cases, whatever the poison taken; but the ladies have changed all that, Now the action of one poison is sublimely differ- entiated from that of another, and the deaths do not shock the medical ’ eve; and they incidentally offer the audience truth- worthy samples of different modes of exit from this vale of tears. From these exhibi- tions the public may gather that ber reed in of your checks 2! chloral is a peaceful sleep, with a look of ineffable beauty on the face when the lines go straight; that of prussic acid death induces a call on the faithless one and three stretches of the legs; that with strych- nine yon try to fit your body into all the arti- cles of furniture ‘in the room, including the fireplace; and that with arsenic you double yourself up like a letter, and put yourself in ‘the waste- et for an envel This is art, thie 4s.

THE STAFF OF LIFE. Consumption, and Distribu- tion of Wheat in the United States. The March number of the monthly report of Mr, J. R. Dodge, statistician of the Department of Agriculture, discusses the production, con- | sumption, and distribution of wheat in the United States for 1888 and a number of pre- ceding years. Of the wheat crop of 1889, | amounting in round nambers to 416,000,000 | bushels, the quantity still in the hands of farm- ers is estimated at 26.9 per cent, or 111,766,530 bushels, out of which is to come the seed for the spring wheat area, A comparison, cover- ing the last eight years, shows that the largest proportion ever on hand at the same date was 83 per cent om March 1, 1885, the preceding crop having been the largest ever grown in the country, and the only occasion when the pro- portion was materially lower than at present was on March 1, 1882, the amount then on hand being 25.6 per cent of the short crop of 1881. TRUSTWORTHINESS OF THE OFFICIAL FIOURES. A comparison between the statistics of wheat production and statistics of the distribution and consumption of the same grain. which are largely of separate origin and based wholly upon independent data, shows a closeness of correspondence which emphasizes the trust- worthiness of the official figures. In a table covering the period 1830-1887 the figu production show an average crop of 448,815,56 ushels, while those on consumption and dis- tribution show the average amount annually used and disposed of to be 448.371,867 bushels, leaving less than one-tenth of one per cent of the estimated production unaccounted for. The figures on consumption and distribution | comprise, first, the official statements of ex- ports of wheat and flour issued by the of statistics; second, an estimate of the con- sumption for food at the average rate of four and two-thirds bushels per capitaof the popu- lation; and, third, an estimate, also on a uni- form basis per acre sown, of the amount re- wired for seed, The estimate of four and two- thirds bushels per capita as the average amount consumed was ce 557 after an extended in- vestigation more ten years ago. DECREASE OF EXPORTS. Inthe eight years 1880-87 nearly three- tenths of our wheat product has been exported, the proportion being seven or eight times as great as the percentage of the corn export, ir. Dodge, however, points out that it shows a tendency to decline, being only 26.2 per cent in 1887 against 37.4 in 1880—a proportion which he thinks hardly likely to be again attained “unless an extraordinary year of failure abroad shall coincide with a season of special abund- ance in this country. THE GREAT WHEAT-GROWING West. A table exhibiting production, consumption, &c., by groups of states shows that nearly 59 per cent of the crop was grown in the western states and nearly 24 per cent more in the Pa- cific states, with Nevada, Colorado, and the territories, leaving less than 18 per cent as the product of New England. the middle states, and the south combined. —— THE COURTS.

S.A. M. — - How a Man Sews on Buttons. From the Housekeeper. Did you ever see a man in the solitude and privacy of his study attempt to sew a button om in all its details, one of the most interesting performances in the world, First, he hunts for a button. Generally, to se- cure it he robs Peter to pay Paul, and cuts one from some other garment. This may be much ger or smaller than the size he is wearing, Next, he hunts for a needle. Probably he goes out and buys a paper of needles, He alway chooses the largest needies, having an impres- sion that large needles will sew stronger than small needles, As to the threa he gets the coarsest be can find, an this he doubles. He would thread his needic. He tuk the big needle in one and his coarse black thread in length; then he tries to twist it to a fine point, Generally in this he succeeds in making two, and sometimes three, five points out of one end. Of course he can't get all these points throu the needle's eye atonce. He tries hard to m: the needle and thread get on friendly terms with each other, Sometimes it is the needle that kicks, sometimes the thread. Sometimes he really imagines be has threaded his needle, It is an ocular delusion, The thread has missed the needle’s eye half an inch. It is harder work than sawing wood, At last the needle is threaded. Now he tries to sew the buttons on without taking his trousers off. This proves » failure. He twists himself into an uncomfort- able position, and so would sew. But he cannot sew so. He runs the needle into his finger, and makes an imaudible exclamation. Again the needle slips into the fleshy part of the hand, which induces a very audible dash from the operator. The recording angel knows what is going on inside of him, and debits him with every item, He sews bard. He has forgotten all about the necessity for » He jambs his thumb down on the needle’s head, and it punctures his thamb or runs under the nail. By and by he sews the button’s eye full of thread.
