THE THEATRICAL MAKEUP.

Mile. Rachel, it is q well-knOwn
fact, scarcely used powder or paint
at all. She darkened her eyebrows
and eyelashes, and that was about
all; but her skin was naturally sal
low, and looked deathly white by
gaslight. When she wished to ap-
pear particularly haggard, she was
wont to take burnt cork and rub q
little of it softly into the hollows Of
her cheeks and temples. OF course,
in many characters it is absolutely
necessary for an artist to nse the
fard or grease-as, for instance,
when playing such parts as Othello,
Aida, or Azucena-but even in these
it should be used sparingly, and the
greatest care taken to eface the
shiny look it often produces. When
The Winters Tales" was recently
revived, one oftLe principal actors
rendered himself ridiculous by neg
lecting to tone down the gloss and
the consequence was that he shone.

Men have undoubtedly to "make up"
great deal more than women, who
usually play young characters,
whereas il very often occurs that .
young man has to impersonate sn
old one. and not -unfrequently vice

A GOOD VOICE.

There is no doubt that one Of the
most useful qualifications Of an ora
tor is a good voice. Burke failed in
the House through the lack Of it,
while William Pitt, through the pos.
session of it, was q ruler there at the
age Of 81. Mr.. Lecky says that
O'Connells voice. rising with an
easy and melodious swell, filed the
largest building and triumphed over
the widest tumult, while at the same
time it conveyed every infection of
feeling with the most delicate hexi-
bility. The great majority Of cele-
brated orators have been aided by
tho possession of q good voice. Web
ster's voice, ,on the occasion of his
reply to Senator Dickinson, had such
an effect that one OF his listeners
felt all the night sfterward as il a

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble"
with which so many seem now to be
afflicted? II you will remember
few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown-to-day it
is as common as any word in the
English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in
times past. So it is with nervous
diseases, rs they and Malaria are
intended to cover what our grand
fathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition Of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding 1t cannot dispose Of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreci-
ate cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures arc mar

He is no transitional link between
the mammals and the birds, but be-
longs indubitably to the former
group of animals. This is shown
by his furry body, Though the col
Jared bat of Malacca has but little
to boast of in this respect, by his
sharp teeth, (though birds of old
were not toothless, by the fact that
the young are born and suckled, not

use this word of course in its natu-

clude the flight of fishes. But do
flying fishes veritably fiy: or do they
merely sail, borne along on out
stretched fins by the powerful impe-
tus with which they fash out of the

tropics have leaned from the bows
of an ocean steamer and watched

summit Of wave, sail in long
curves for the space of thrice the
vessels length. For long was un-
decided whether theirs was true
flight or not; nor am l quite con
vinced to this day. But / lean TO
the view that the apparent nuttering
of the wings, which is very obvious
when the fish skins and touches

the vigorous tail strokes which often
leave their mark on the smooth sur
face Of the water, and that the flick
ering Of the wing fins rs they sail is
mechanical result Of the rapid pas

therefore reluctantly TO abandon my
old belief in the fight Of fishes, and
to place it in the same category as

squirrel, the ariel Of Australia and

go.-Mwr ay's Magazine.

The feature of a. recent meeting
of the British royal society was an
exhibition by Henry Burns Of a
class of nests of live ants. These
were so arranged that all the elabo-
rate internal economy of the insects
could be fully observed. A cable
dispatch says that sin one cell was
the queen, with servants attending
upon her. In another were the
sphides, or cows, watchfully herded
by their keepers; and party OF
workers were engaged in walling up
an intruding queen which had been
placed IN the nest that morning.
The state of ant civilization was SO
remarkably high that NOBODY would
have been much surprised at par
ty Of scientific ants in spectacles
taking notes on the royal society"

Fond of Hippopotamus.

Lieutenant Won Francois describes
half savage, half comic occurrence
on the Upper Congo awhile ago that
illustrates the remarkable fondness
of the natives of that region for ami
NAL food, says the New York Sun.
While he was steaming up the river
one day Mr.. Grenfell and he shot a
hippopotamus, and the crew drew
the strange animal on shore to cut it
up. They had not been in engaged
in this work more than five minutes
before they were surrounded by a
great crowd Of natives, who watched
the operation with the keenest inter.
est. The tongue and the best parts
of the flesh were reserved for the
steamboat hands, who then left the
animal and gave the natives chance.
With uplifted knives the crowd
rushed upon the remains and began
to slash away on all sides. Scores
of the natives could not get near the
body, and they began to push and pull
their more fortunate comrades with
frantic eagerness. Those whose
knives were in reach of the coveted
flesh knew good thing when they
had it, and they did not propose to
yield an inch of ground. They would
slash away for minute, then stop to
fight the rear guard off, and then re-
new the cutting-up process. The
pushing, struggling, bowling mob
made quite an exciting scene. Then
the unfortunates in the rear, unable
by dint of muscle to gain access to
the creature, gathered handsful of
sand, which they showered over the
hippopotamus butchers, endeavoring
to blind them.
SO the battle went on until finally
those who were nearest the carcass
rolled it over and over into the wa
ter until it was entirely submerged.
From this vantage ground they con-
tinued the work of cutting up the
animal under water until every scrap
that was edible was secured. This
means that there was very little left
but the skeleton, for the average
Congo native is not at all particular.

river horse into small bits, and, after
