"Signor Campanini is a true bon vivant
and SO attached to his own italian style of
cookery that he finds no comfort in Ameri-
can hotels. This is why he has brought his
own cook with him to accompany him on
his present concert tour. He drinks vast
quantities of red wine, either claret or
Chianti, with his meals, and finishes with a
glass or two of good cognac. He is not
much addicted to exercise, which, in con-
junction with his fondness for good living,
has resulted in destroying his once perfect
figure and causing him to become unroman-
tically fat.
Emma Abbott likes bottle or two Of
Dublin stout, which she consumes during a
performance, and this beverage indeed she
generally INDUCES in with her meals. She
is we'll aware of its fattening properties,
but contends that those are well set off by
its strengthening power and the effect it
has upon the voice. Lillian Russell used
to drink the same ebony-tinted fluid, but q
year or two ago she foreswore IL in favor of
champagne. with an admirable effect SO
far as her figure is concerned.
Sarah Bernhardt consumes during the
day and night large amount of stimuli
lants, and is accustomed to counterbalance
their effect by the use of certain nerve
composers, such as bromides, etc. During
a performance she often drinks a little
Scotch whisky which she once euphemisti-
cally christened to an inquisitive reporter
acon,te, which she said she took TO steady
her nerves.
Agnes Booth is extremely careful of
what she eats and drinks, and the result is
seen in her extremely graceful fig
ure, which, though inchning to en-
bonpoint, might still belong to a
woman Of %. She drinks little but Bass
ale, and not much of that, only consuming
glass or two during her most arduous
performances
"Poor old Lester Wallack used to indulge
in two glasses of that standard English
beverage, brandy and soda, during a per-
formance, though for year or two before
his death ne found it necessary sometimes
to add third glass in order to enable him
to struggle through his part.
NAT Goodwin, who for several years
suffered from form of quinsy, the severe
pain Of which often rendered it almost i'm
possible for him to get through a pertor-
nance without fainting, drinks between
the acts q few glasses of rye whisky and
seltzer water. though after the play is over
he is fond OF taking with his supper pint
or two of dry champagne, He never
drinks anything while acting, however, but
whisky and water, as have said

Convicted by a Piece of Bread.


A tramp named Liauty has just been
condemned at Blois for the murder of an
unfortunate woman, whom he met on the
high road. He attacked and stabbed her
repeatedly, afterward throwing her into a
pool while she was still living, flr't taking
from her her little savings, amounting TO
60 cents The popularity Of g case lies
in the evidence that convicted the muir
derer. On the bank of the pond, near tie
spot where the corpse was discovered, there
was found large piece of bread, the end Of
a loaf with a singular bulge at one side.
One of the neighbors testified that
on the morning of the day the
crime was committed, Liauty had come TO
her house to beg for something to eat. She
gave him glass Of piquette and a bunch OF
bread. He drank the wine and put the
bread in the breast Of his blouse, saying that
he would eat it later. The loaf she had cut
il from was home baked. One Of the bricks
in the floor of her oven wa missing, so that
in each batch of loaves there was one with
a protuberance marking the site ~ The miss
ing brick. 1t was this protuberanca that
enabled her to identify the bread found near
the body with the piece she had given
Liauty. He was forthwith found guilty
and condemned to death.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-I was sitting a
night or two ago among the audience of a
popular Broadway theater, having with me
rs companion theatrical manager, who
has moro than one theater under is own
control, and has been in the theatrical
business from his boyhood. don't think
it was noticed by nine-tenths of the people
present. but to us the fact was quite appar-
emit that one of the young act esses in the
company whose performance we were
watching was under the influence of some
intoxicant. She managed TO get through
her part without any serious breakdown, but
the vacuous stare, the slow hesitating move
ment. the occasional stumble and the thick
utterance were Enthusiastically evident. Nat
urally, when the play was over and we
were discussing modest supper in a near
by restaurant, our conversation turned on
the disagreeable spectacle we had been wit
Messing. Has it never struck you," said my
friend, the manager, show comparatively
free the stage is to-day from a vice which
was almost universal half a century agos
Then it was rather the exception for an
actor to be temperate, while now the exact
reverse is the case, as is shown by the i'm
preston that young woman's folly has Just
made upon you. A generation or two ago
it would have been take almost as mat
ter of course, to see an actor under the in
fiuence of liquor, but as the French say, we
have changed all that the fact is that
actors have merely kept pace with the res
of the community, for you have only to
turn over the leaves of the Spectator and
other Queen Anne literature to see that in
those days drunkenness was as fashionable
as going to church"
81 suppose though, said I, that actors
and actresses are not as rule teetotalers.r
''By no MEANS was the answer. ITO
people who are under the influence Of
constant nervous strain, stimulants of some
sort are almost necessity. / am convinced
though, that every actor and actress of
prominence ooks upon them from the
medicinal and not the convivial point of
view. Some, indeed, are absolute prohibi-
tionists as regards themselves at least.
Frank Wilson, for instance, never touched
anything stronger than lemonade or ginger
ale, and yet he is one of the most intensely
nervous and Woodworking of actors.

they are all either moderate drinkers or
total abstainers. Those that have risen in
the profession know that were they to be
