A rluekr Il.tls Astrs...

A striking example OF what a little child
Is capable OF enduring was recently offered
at one of the New York theatres. Oracle
Sherwood, who is not more than ten years
old, but who is nevertheless a talented
little actress. plays a ohild's part. She is
the daughter of a man who was recently
on trial in the city OF Brooklyn for murder.
The case was given TO the jury late in the
afternoon, and when the time came for
little Oracle to go on the stage no news OF
a verdict had been received at the theatre.
Perhaps" said she, just before she made
her entrance, 'Nvhile / am speaking my
lines pap will be told hat he must be
hanged or go to prison" The little lisp In
her speech made her case seem all the more
pidful. Bat she went through her little
part without falterinR, and when IL was
over one OF the actresses of the company
picked her up In her arms, and told her
that the jury had disagreed and that her
papa was safe for a time at any rate. There
were tears Of sympathy for little Oracle in
the eyes Of every member of that company
when the curtain had fallen that night.

She has been on the stage about nine
years, having first appeared as Dolly

Her work in that play, It's companion

Ball" practically covered her stage career
up 70 this season, when she began To de
light New Workers in 1.-The Idler."
But while Mr.. Frohman seldom gives
us an opportunity for realizing the fact. it
is the old comedies which give Miss Cayvan
the best opportunity for showing the re-
markRble versatility and d~elicacy Of her
talent As Lady Teazle in THE School for
Scandal she was inimitable.
1t is hard to get her to talk about the
stage. When she Is in Harlem the Lyceum
theatre seems to be as far away in her
thoughts as Chicago or the middle of the
Atlantic, and in her dressing room it is
apparently not much nearer. 1t must not
be inferred, however, that she docs not
love her profession or that she is not am
BILIOUS. Only she is more Of u woman han,
an actress.
For that reason it is surprising to learn
that she prefers parts well sailed with vii

ly enough at the very moment
when elsewhere-in France, at least,
it has emancipated itself into the Ii.
cense of a mere record of irresponsible
impressions; in England, perhaps, IL
is equally irresponsible, but certainly
not impressionist. With us the novel
mainly seems to be the victim of this
tendency.
Our critics-do not inquire too close
ly who they are-are 1t the present
moment nearly unanimous in their pre-.
occupation with prescribing to the nov
elist from the old rules of French unity
and German ~objectivity. This would
be all very well if they were professors
in a conservatory where novel writing
was taught, but it savors distinctly
rather OF pedagogy than Of criticism.
And though pedagogy may be more i'm

a different thing. The great distinc-
ton perhaps between the two is that
one is mechanical and the other spirit

Mrs. Arthur Stannard, better known
as John Strange Winter, y is an author
whose outlook In life is sunny. Lon
don, or the most interesting part of it,
goes out often to visit her in her fine
old house at Putney, near the Thames.
At her summer garden parties and win
ter Eat homes" artists, authors and
journalists make a charming Bohemian
circle about the peculiar trophy of
horseshoes arranged in her reception
hall. The writer Of "Bootles' Baby"
confesses to a pet superstition. After
the manuscript of that story had been
hawked about to six publishers she
picked up a horseshoe an hour before
the news came that The London
Graphic had accepted it. On three
other occasions OF finding horseshoes
she has Immediately heard of good
things, and her friends affect a Joking
reverence for these mascots and in
variably hold all discussions of i'm
portant enterprises within the radius of
their suspicious influences.
1t is not every visitor to Putney who
has the entree of the nursery of Mr..
Winter, so called until the favorable
receptions Of "Hoopla" and I'm Quar-
ters" induced the author to let the pub
lie into the secret of her sex. She Is
the mother of three chubby babies, the
eldest of whom is 3 years old. These
mischievous, sunny tempered young
sters fill their end of the house with
laughter. With a toddler on zach knee
and another hanging over a chair be-
hind she answered a question as to the
happiest hour she had over seen.
"To understand the pleasantest little
thing that yer happened to me your
must know that when l was - years
old my dear old schoolmistress politely,
but firmly, informed my father that 1
got into so many scrapes he must really
take me home. When my Cavalry
Life began to receive favorable notices

let this teacher into my secret. The
congratulations received in reply gave
me more pleasure, | think, than any
others l have ever received"
Mrs. Stannard is not a beautiful wom-
an, though her face is a pleasant one.
Her knowledge Of military life came to
her naturally, her father, the Rev. II.
V. Palmer, having been prior to enter
ing the church an officer in the royal

hand which was invented by Samuel Lucas,
of Poquetannoc, for his son, Willard A.
Lucas, who lost his hand in picker in
Lucas Brothers mill. This hand weighs
less than pound, and the fingers are so
ingeniously arranged with springs that
the hand can be made to grasp and hold
articles more firmly, it is claimed, than
any artificial hand ever yet invented
This new metal is light, bright, strong,
tough, untarnishable and ,unrustable, and
especially adapted for such use
The nice adjustment and form Mr.. Lucas
has put into it combine art and mechanism
to some purpose. 1t is u curious as well as
a useful device, and will prove such boon
to crippled men that it ought to bring a
fortune to the inventor. This ingenious
work of Mr.. Lucas verfes the old adage,
