THEATRICAL TEARS,
Their Physiology Discussed by . EAmov
Medical Periodical.

Their Physiology Discussed by Famous
Medical Periodical.
The question of theatrical tears, and
whether they be produced by the actor
independently of real emotion, has
lately been discussed. The question
is not without interest, and has been
answered in various ways by different
actors, some contending that the high
est art in this direction is only seen
when the artist 'feels'' his part; while
others state that emotional conditions
in the actor are fatal to the highest
form of theatrical art. To how large
an extent our emotions are under con-
troll is patent to everybody, for much
of our early education is devoted en-
tirely to the formation of habits of
control in this direction. Emotions
are mainly reflex phenomena, and are
produced as the result of Thoughts,
sounds or sights, 1t is very doubtful
whether an actor can stir up in his aud
fence the higher emotions unless he
abandon himself to the situation of the
play, and himself feels to some extent
the sorrows Or terrors of the scene.
An actor who can only manage to stir
the emotions of the most easily moved
of his audience, whether to laughter
or tears, has gone good way toward
success; for emotional states are so in
fictitious that the sound or sight of tears
or laughter is sure to cause the pre-
vailing emotion to spread. The really
great actor, however, must be capable
of doing something more than merely
touch the biggest, fool of the audience
he must make his audience abso.
lutely forgetful of itself, and be
himself the direct, and not the indi.
rect, cause of the emotional state into
which it is thrown. To do this the
actor must be himself person of In.
tense feeling. and must for the time
experience the emotion he is seeking
to portray. Really great acting is q
matter of feeling rather than of rea-
soning intelligence, and we doubt
whether an actor who studies and pug.
zles too much over the subtleties of the
author is not In danger of checking the
manifestations Of his histrionic genius.
1t is a we'll known fact that Master
Betty, the ''infant Roscius," could, az
boy, stir the higher emotions of the
audience by his portrayal of Shake
speare's masterpieces (the subtleties OF
which he most certainly could not un.
derstand). but that his power was, 80
to say, knocked out Of him by uni.
versity education. which probably
brought home to him the Shortcomings
of his performances, and, by teaching
him to reason about his character, pre-.
vented the feeling portrayal of the pre-.
vailing emotions. Two of the greatest
actors of the present age-Salvini snd
Ristori--both belong to the emotional !
Italian race, and it is impossible to be- |
lieve that during the'portrayal Of their |
most successful parts they are not en- /
tirely forgetful of themselves and en-.
crossed by the emotions of the scene.

TO season glass and china ware to
sudden changes of temperature, so that
it will remain sound after exposure to
sudden heat and cold, is best done by
placing the articles in cold water, which
must gradually be brought to the boil
ing point and then allowed to cool very
slowly, taking several hours to do it.

care in this respect is required.

in dripping pan, season with salt,
pepper, flour and butter. Pour over
just enough hot water to keep them from
burning. Bake in the oven nearly an

must be added. When done, make
gravy in a pan just as you would for
any kind of a roast.

months old make a desirable dish, if

also very hardy if not inbred, and

ably well. They are early layers, and
continue with only short intermission
until late in the summer. They thrive
rapidly and when matured will ordin-
arily weigh from twelve to fourteen
pounds per pair.

SOME TARIFF FACTS
FARM MORTGAGES.

FARM MORTGAGES.
Some Of our correspondents are re.
ferring to articles recently published in
Democratic free trade papers as to the
vast sum total of mortgages upon farm
property. They of course attribute
these mortgages to the tariff. If a
cyclone should utterly destroy the rural
buildings and cities in half dozen
states, we have no doubt somebody
would blame the tariff for it.
| The next man who quotes the total
amount of farm mortgages at you, ask
him the total value of the farms in the
state-not the assessed valuation, but
the real value-and what proportion
the mortgage total bears to the total
value. Then ask him the total value
of all the wholesale and retail bust
ness houses in the state, and the total
amount of borrowed capital which they
owe. Have him make the same pro-
portion as in the other case. The re-
suit will astonish you and silence him.
For it is fact that agriculture is as
much business as making reapers, or
cloth, or -four, and that men 60 into it,
as they do into any other business, on
borrowed capital. A year of dull trade
brings thousands of business men, en-
gagged in merchandising or manufactur-
ing, to failure and bankruptcy. A
year Of short crops does the same,
though to far less extent, for the
farmers. To say that the. tariff is re-
sponsible because men go into farm
ing without enough money to do so free
Of debt, is as absurd as to say that the
tariff is responsible because a village
merchant don't pay cash for all his
stock.
Again, farming, in these days of
close competition and improved
methods, is business that cannot be
successfully pursued by a man unless
he is wide-awaked, intelligent, and pro-
gressive. Our sharpest and shrewdest
farmers have 10 mortgages on their
lands. The competition is not yet as
sharp as it is in other lines of business.
and hence we have greater proportion
of failures among men engaged in trad
ing and in manufacturing than among
our farmers.
These are facts that no intelligent
man can gainsay. The tariff does not
cause farmers to borrow money. We
have been suffering since 1883 from
too great extension of agriculture and
from an enormous overproduction, not
only in this country, but all over the
world, of agricultural products.
To reduce the tariff will not make
wheat one cent higher-nor corn, nor
beef, nor any other agricultural pro-
duct. twill make nothing cheaper
to the farmer-for the prices he pays
depend far more on other causes than
on the tariff Coffee and tea are cases
in point. They used to pay duty,
and what the free traders called heavy
an outrageous one. A Republican Con-
gress removed that duty some eight or
ten years ago, and put coffee and tea
on the free list. Yet coffee and tea
are as high to-day as they were before
the duty was taken off. Several causes
contribute to this, the chief one being
the profits made by the middle-men.
Tea and coffee go through at least
half dozen hands before they reach the
farmer; each one of these half dozen
must makes profit, and the farmer
pays these intermediate profits. So it
would be in any other case.-Ex.
