VERDICT OF THE AUDIENCE
6edeLWhich Budding Actors In Nor-
'ZyXl.KfrriAy Muat Face.
It ia tat without fear that nn actor
makes his debut In tbe capital of Nor
mnndy. A debut In tbe French prov
inces M by no means an easy ordeal to
dobs throuch. An actor has a right to
choose three different parts, says Mme.
Rhea, which must be played inside of a
month.
The first and second debuts have no
significance; he may be received coldly,
critically or enthusiastically it bos no
meaning: the third one decides his I
fate. That night after the nlny the
manager, very solemn In his dress suit.
appears before the audience and snys:
"Monsieur or Mile. So-and-so has mude
his or her debut. The management
wishes to know the verdict of the pub
lic", v-: ',, '
Then be produces a placard on
which is printed in large letters the
word "Accepted." If the nctor pleases
the audience applauds: if not, it hisses
until tbe manager produces another
placard with the word , "Refused."
Then the applause starts again, with
out regard for the. feelings of. the poor,
broken hearted. girl or boy who bos
been waiting In the wings for the ver
dict of thut Inhuman Jury called the

LEAP OF A KANGAROO.
Never Over Four Faet High, but May
Be Thirty Feet. Broad.
Precisely bow far a big kangaroo
can Jump is a matter of some dispute.
A writer' in Cassell's Natural His
tory says that they an leap "over ten.
fifteen or more feet" Mr. II. K. Francis
tells us that be has "known an 'old
man to cover nineteen reel ar eacu
bound for full half a mile," and be
believes that be does leap "an average
of full twenty feet"
Mr. Lydekker Is of opinion that the
great kangaroo leaps "not far short or
thirty feet," and Mr. Thomas Ward
irives it as "nt least thirty feet" rrob-
ably Mr. Kudyard Klpling'a "twenty-
fire feet to a bound" ia near enough
as a general rule.
But with this more than Olympic
leaping power tbey seem commonly
either unable or unwilling to rise any
height from tbe ground. Tbelr spe
cialty Is broad Jumping only. Mr.
Ward says that they "cannot clear an
obstacle greater than four feet," and a
five foot fence is commonly high
enough for any kangaroo paddock.
