Outdooor Life.

Man seems planned for an outdoor life
In a mild climate, with just a leaf or two
of shelter for rainy days. His nature will
bend for a time to the conventional bur-
dens of artificial civilization, but replant
him on first principles in the outdoor gar
den of life and his recuperative forces
1Qill rebound with the elastic energy OF
steel springs relieved. Our fashionable
friends would lose caste were they to use
their neighbours second hand clothing,
but they will duly try to purify their own
blood with their neighbours secondhand
or ten-times used breath, poisoned as it
always is even when exhaled by young
and healthy persons. Man, in common
with other warm-blooded creatures, gen.
crates a surplus of heat within his body
Outdoor sleepers find that no matter how
cold the surrounding air may be, if dry,
enough of the outdowing heat may be
held back and retained by suitably warm
clothing to sustain the vital functions in
health and comfort. Until domestic art
can supply our lungs with cool, fresh all,
its votaries will have an important prob
lem to solve. In the meantime our out
campers and hovel-dwellers will have the
best aerated blood in the land.

When Lewis X. Redmond, the South caro-

Nurse.
BY the way, if Garfield had been in the

Schiling is again the talk Of the town quite as
much, at least in that portion of society which
peoples the borderland between the stage and
the foyer, as when she eloped with her fathers
coachman. The story first few that she had
been assaulted by Stage Manager Conreid, of
the Casino, where she is singing in comic opera.
That was altogether false. Then the news
was given out that Corried's engagement, term
mating on May l. would not be renewed, and the
trouble between him and Mrs. Schilling was de-
clared to be the reason for his going. The truth,
as asserted by the players and others connected
with the Casino, is that Conried is remark
ably strict disciplinarian. and that in rehearsng
the company he is apt to speak in language that
makes the actresses ears tingle. Male principals
have had to resent his severity, and several
members of the company decided that they
would not stay if he did. The self-willed heir
ess, Victoria, has all along been highly resent.
fnl under usage to which she was not accus-
toned, and she retorted upon him with spirit.
But she denies positively that Conried assaulted
she makes against him is that in making up the
cast of the current opera he would not prefer
her as the gypsy heroine in place of Pauline
Hall, a natural brunette. Pauline is one Of the
professional beauties. too, and that fact was re-
marked to Victoria by Conried, upon which she
holly repudiated his comparative estimate Of her
own and rivals loneliness.

done by paying literally in taxes, employment
