| never knew of but one death
from stage fright"
During my fathers engagement
in Cincinnati, a stage-struck youth
leased him terribly to give him an
opening.
The company being full my father
could find no speaking part for him,
but at last he consented that he
should appear as a supe the very
first opportunity that offered. "The
Carpenter of Rouen" was then a
strengthening melo-drama, and
somebody came along and starred
in it.

supposed to be dead. That silent
character my father assigned to the
aspiring supe, who was greatly agi-
tated over accomplishing the am
bition of his life-that Of making
his debut.
The scene represents the interior
of a carpenters shop, and Antoine
is discovered working. Mr.. Neafe,
a carpenter by trade, got immense
applause by planning some boards
and expeditiously putting them to-
gether in a rude coffin, a feat far in
advance Of Joe Murphy's shoeing
a horse in Kerry Cow" Antoine
goes to take up a board and diScoy-
ers a man-dead-with blood upon
him. Foul play has been done, and
Antoine is wondering what he shall
do under such suspicious circum-
stances, when a band of men enter
and surprise him. He is accused
of murder, but it t~ranspires later
in the scene that it has only been a
plot to test Antoine's courage and
faithfulness. He then goes to raise
the body of the supposed murdered
man, who, according to the business
of the play, should get up, but
when Neaie went to him he did not
move. He shook him. Still he
was motionless. He was struck
with a sudden fear, and exclaiming,

The young aSpirant for theatrical
honors was troubled with heart
disease, and the sudden shock Of
appearing in public, although he
had not a word to say, had killed
him.

From Pen and Plow.l
The Lancet has rendered good
service by calling attention to the
evils arising from the use of alcoho oil
in hot weather. 1t says "The
first important thing to be observed
in great heat is temperance-tem-
perance in all things. Heat gives
rise to feelings of exhaustion /; this
leads to drinking repeated doses of
alcohol in some shape or other,
than which nothing can be worse.
We do not say that a strictly tenn
perate man never gets sunstroke !;
but we do aver that a man who
keeps his house and his person, if
we may so express it, well ventilated
by opening the windows of the
former, and clothing himself ration
ally, who attends to the functions
of the skin by Tubing regularly,
and who lives temporarily, is a very
unlikely subject indeed for sun
stroke. A manifest want at this
season is some non-alcoholic beyer-
age that is cold and pleasant, with
out being at all sweet or mawkish."
In another part of a recent issue,
under the heading, "Sunstroke aad
Alcohol" the Lancet remarks
"The necessity Of temperance in
drink, on the part Of those whose
ayocations lead them to be exposed
to the sun this weather, cannot be
too forcibly urged. Over and over
again in India the immunity from
sunstroke enjoyed by temperate
men has been observed. Ii may be

becoming better understood by the
people, and it is gratifying to find
that the medical press and many
members of the profession are now
