Hot MILK.-It is worthy O
reiteration that milk heated to a,
high a temperature as it can b,
drunk or slipped; above 100 de.
grees but not to the boiling point
is OF great value as a refreshing
stlmulent in cases of over exer-
ton, bodily or mental. To most
people who like milk, it does not
taste so good hot, but that is a
small matter compared with the
benefit to be got from it. Its ac-
ton is exceedingly prompt and
grateful, and the effects much
more satisfactory and far more
lasting than those of any alcoholic
drink whatever. 1t supplies real
strength as well as exhilaration.
which alcohol never does.-Good

The sheatrical profession always has beer

whose names ali actors speak with a thrill OF
friendship that of genial Ben Baker is per,
baps as well known as any. There is, too, a
feeling of fellowship among the people of the
stage which is peculiar to the calling.
and that may account for the Uncle
which is always pre6xed to Mr. Bakery
name. The whole profession knows him,
loves him. and feels satisfaction ia limiting
at a kind of family relationship.
Uncle Ben Baker is nearly - years old,
and has been in harness as long, probably, ae
any actor or manager in New York city.
But he is as lively as cricket, and any QUE
who calls at the rooms Of the Actors Fund
will find him, rain or shine, at the assistant
secretarys desk. Indeed, on rainy days, his
desk is even better place to visit than ON
days when the sln is shining, for it is one OF
the few places where outside gloom never
penetrates, and is, therefore, on dull days
doubly bright by contrast.
1t was in 1888 that Uncle Ben made his
first appearance on the stage. The place was
