NAUGHT STlRRETH.

How still the night Above the scattered stars
With softened light the wide expanse Hume,
And sails the full white moon the blue serene.
Fall her chaste beams on widely differing scenes,
Low haunts in crowded cities, and the broad,
Dark, placid bosom Of the slumbering lake.
Adown the slope the noiseless shadows move,
And fling themselves beside the dreaming flowers.
Sleeping the tan trees stand, with arms out
stretched,
Holding aloft (as asking heaven TO bless)
The secret nest that, ginting through the leaves,
The favored moonbeams watch, and faint reveal
The tender beauty Of the mother bird
Soft brooding DER her little world Of love.

Not Fools Of Fortune.

The history of the early struggles of
stage celebrities has always sharp
edge of interest. Mary Anderson, who
sits in the lap of fortune, was in her
early career often compelled to resort
to ingenious schemes for getting to the
next town. Edwin Booth was "poor
stroller" often without cent to pay
his hotel bills. Lawrence Barrett came
to atfiuence and renown after many
years of struggle and heart. burn and
pang and disaster that would have
broken less self-reliant spirit. Henry
Irving was a Woodworking stock actor
in the English provinces. Edmund
Kean was starved and kicked and cufted
about rural England for more than
twenty years. Lolita was an ill-paid
performer in San Francisco, and
Maggie Mitchell has seen the day when
she couldn't pay for the clothes she
wore in her pieces. One might extend
the list to cover nearly all the shining
lights of the contemporary stage.
Those who are named in the foregoing
lines are all rich from the worldly point
of view, and of certainty they are
with honors heavy laden. However,
they are not fools of fortune All that
they have they earned. Free

am almost certain that every girl

played with a doll Very likely the
older ones have outgrown their dolls,
and only keep the old favorites as SOU
venirs of childish days, and pretty
playthings for little friends and guests;
but perhaps even they, tall and wo-
manly as they are, would be puzzled to
tell why we call it doll. and not, as
the French do, puppet or peupet, or,
with the italian, o bambino Or baby.
What is the meaning of the word doll ?
To explain, 1 must go back to far
away times, when it was the fashion all
over the Christian world for mothers to
give their little children the name OF q
patron saint. Some saints we're more
popular than others, and St Dorothea
was at one period perhaps the most
popular of all. Dorothea, and it's
quait English variation, Dorothy, have
as my little Greek scholars know, a
very lovely meaning-"Gift of God. =
But as few people like to cal! tod-

argued that he had favorable criticism
for his contemplated tour of the
country, and that it wouldn't do to risk
his star in another piece. The inside
fact was that the only other part she
knew was Camille and to that Bouci-
'cault, who was putting up portion Of
the money, was obstinately opposed.
At last I induced Mr.. Sargent to put
up Modjeska's name for benefit and
add the balcony scene from Romeo
and Juliet to the bill. The receipts
promptly rose to over 500, and, for
the first time, Sargent took share Of
them. The cash convinced him. The

4 Lion -I".o,.y La,,.os.

Young Salvini is like q lion cub
among the lambs of Madison Square,
and his success in partners" proves
beyond anything he has yet done what
latent powers there are in this young
man and what brilliant future he has
before him. Like the playful young
lion that he is, he doesn't know how to
control himself. and that big leonine
voice of his thunders out in these sa-
cred precincts with roar that foretells
his inheritancy of the powers that be-
longed to the father and probably
still belong to him.
The subdued air of quiet among all
the rest of the company is in quaint
contrast to this resonant young actor,
who can't tone himself down to the re-
quirements OF this little theater, but
just let's his nature bubble out in its
exhuberance aud force.
Young Salvini's accent, too, is
readily disappearing, so that he is
American in his methods, while Italian
in his subtlety and intelligence. Man
ager Palmer has not miscalculated the
powers of this young man, and, if he
can hold him in, possesses in him All
actor who will, before many years have
passed, be the talk not simply of the
town, but of the country. Salvini is
the coming man.-Ne,v York Journal.

MoaJesAa,s Debut in se.e .Yors..

Stephen Fiske, the manager who
gave Modjeska her first New York
opening, gives the following account of
that historic incident:
"Modjeska was "a stock actress in
Poland. She had emigrated to Cali
fernia, and begun new life on ranch.
I!he venture was "a failure, and after
six months study the courageous wo-
man appeared on the San Francisco
stage in English. There Harry Sargent
saw her and induced her to come East.

hearsass at the Fifth Avenue Theater.

One Of the great peculiarities that is
frequently remarked among actresses
is that many of those who are accus-
toned to be among the best dressed on
the stage are the ones who frequently
dress the worst off it, says the New
York Morning Journal.
Various theories have been formu-
lated at various times to account for so
singular thing One would naturally
imagine that the lady who took pride
in looking at her best at night would
he quite as anxious to appear on the
street and before the public in as at
:tractive form. But the fact neverthe-
less remains that women on the stage
who wear dresses costing many hun
dreds of dollars are quite willing to
come out of the stage when the per-
Torrance is over, habited in clothes
that are simply poor, but of such ex.
traordinary cuts and colors that one in
voluntarily turns round in the street to
look at them.
Nor is it personal meanness, for very
often these women are as gorgeously
attired on the street as on the stage,
but with thorough appropriateness.
It has become the fashion for ladies on
the street to attire themselves in the
quietest colors, to give modest cut to
their dresses, and to aspire to attract
as little curious notice to themselves
as possible. Yet let an actress come
up the street, and in nine cases out of
ten there is no installing her.
Why?
What looked like ridiculous theory
when first formulated, is now generally
accepted as the true one, and that is
that the constant, glare of the footlights
ultimately makes either man or a
woman color-blind He or she stands
in. an intense glare for several hours
each day. How distressing this glare
must be'may easily ,be ascertained by
engaging an upper box at almost any
one of our theaters where these boxes
stand over the stage. Yet the actors
and actresses have to>suffer this all the
,6'vs' of their lives OF course, on the
