Nat Goodwin's First Stage Experience.
Before ever went on the stage I used
to take part in amateur affairs in my
mothers parlors in Boston, and both
cred Charlie Thorne to death to get me
place in some company.
My friends also said they were con-
vinced l had talents. So finally Thorne
secured me a position in company then

my debut, and the part assigned me was

gressed, but during the third act the or

bars of music and completely lost my
head, and dashed out of the theater to
find the depot and take the next train
for Boston.
AS l entered the cars with makeup on,
a black streak on my cheek from black

passengers thought I was staring mad.
On reaching home l rushed in to my
mother, who thought l was going to be

me on the stage again, but to get me a
position in some store.-Nat c. Good

Tricks of Artists.

A French paper says that for two
months of the year the chief business of
tha two thousand and odd exhibitors at
the Salon is to attract the attention of
visitors to their own pictures. Some of
the ''dodges" which have been found
useful for the purpose, it seems, are
highly ingenious. The plan found most
efectual, and therefore most commonly
employed, is the yankee Amateur
Dodge" It consists of employing two
or three agents, dressed in an eccentric
fashion, to walk backward and forward
with mysterious air. The public is
greatly awed by their appearance, and
reports are soon circulated that the pic
ture will be sold for its weight in gold
Another highly recommended plan is
to hire the best looking model intro
duced into the picture to walk back
ward and forward in front of the can
vas. The identity is soon discovered,
and great sensation is the consequence.
A few years ago a painter found out
still more original plan. He placed some
soft, resinous substance, which would
grow soft with warmth, in front of his
own picture. The unfortunate person
who happened to stop for few minutes
would find himself fixed to the spot for
some time. Our authority thinks this
last method the most businesslike and
effectual.

Rscu1apius and His Profession.

Esculapius, whom Homer calls 'sthe
blameless physician" was the famous
pupil of Chiron. The glory of Ascu-
lapius' name is not dimmed as it has
come down to US through the ages.
While his treatment of the sick was
heroic, as was natural in an heroic age,
he did not ignore the virtue of metaphys-
ical treatment. To those who suffered
from violent passions he recommended
the perusal of works of poetry, the study
of hymns and songs and an attendance
on light comedy.
1t has often been said of physicians
that they have two kinds Of medicine
one with which to cure the patient, the
other to be used when it is desirable that
the cure shall not be effected too quick
ly Asculapius had two kinds, which
ne received from Pallas Athene, the
goddess of wisdom. Both were taken
from the veins of Medusa. That taken
from her left side operated to the de-
struction of men. That from the right
side brought them health and strength.
A1sculapius' medicine even had the
power of bringing the dead to ife-a
fact which SO incensed the gods that
Esculapius was Immediately put tc

Montaigne, referring to this injustice,
sarcastically expresses his surprise that
the patron of the doctors should be sent

A "oueer" Preacher.

Rev. Mh. Hagamore, to whose memory
a slab has been placed in the church at
Catshoge, Leicestershire, England, was
"a little queer" 1t seems that the rev.
erend gentleman died in January, 1886,
leaving all of his property. valued at
$1,000, to a railroad porter.
This queer old preacher kept one serv-
ant of each sex, whom he locked up
every night. His last employment of an
evening was to go the rounds of his
premises, let loose the dogs and fire off
his gun. He lost his life in a curious
manner. Starting out to let out his
servants the dogs fawned upon him and
threw him into a pond of water. The
servants heard his cries, but being
locked up could not render assistance
so the old man was drowned.
When the inventory of his property
was taken he was found to be the owner
of so gowns, 100 pairs of trousers, 100
pairs of boots, 400 pairs of shoes, 80
wigs although he had plenty of natu-
raj hair), so dogs. 96 wagons and carts,
30 wheelbarrows, 249 razors, 80 p1ows,
so saddles and 222 pickaxes and shovels
He surely was "a little queer. st

The Colors of Letters.

In my youth l always associated the
idea of color with the letters of the
alphabet. In later years the discovery
that other people recognized no such
coloratlon came to me as a surprise.
The letter R, for example, always calls
up the idea of greenness. 1t is impossi-
BILE for me to think of R without the
thought that it is green. In like man
ner S is yellow and x scarlet. The col
Grafton does not seem to lie in the letter
itself, as printed or written, but to CO.
exist with the conception which the let
ter represents.
As the letter r comes into my mind
it seems to go, with grass and leaves,
into the category of green things. The
sound has nothing to do with its appar-
ent coloration, for G soft and G hard are
recognized as the same letter and there
fore colored alike. The coloration is not
affected by the character of the type.
1t is in the letter itself, regardless of the
way in which it may be printed, or of
whether it is printed or written at ALL
The idea has no connection with the let
tering in any colored picture books, nor
does 1t arise from any association of that
sort.
Words seem to me also more or less
definitely colored, but the association of
coloration with me arises solely from
the letters of which the words are com.
posed. The dominant letters, especially
the initial letter, or the letters most con-
spicuous in pronunciation, give color TO
the word. Thus Rosalind, though con-
tanning but two green letters, has dom
inant shade of green, as saliva or silica
have of yellow. A pleasing variety in
the colors of the letters tends to render
word attractive. Thus the words Yer
non Severn and Exeter, with contrasted
colors, are more attractive than such
words as Patton, Hammond or Armenia,
In which the colors are few or not con-
trasted.-President David Starr Jordan

rreatment OF Face n1o1es.

A hairy mole which is still growing
should be removed at once, even at the
risk of some injury to the skin. 1t is
now probably no more than plexus of
capillary vessels, with only small sup
ply of connective tissue. There is also a
likelihood that it has not yet involved
the skin. If this be its condition, the
skin over the tumor may be reflected in
flaps, and the tumor itself strangulated
with ligature in one of the usual ways.
The flaps should then be replaced, and
the result viii be minimum of cicatrix
and deformity.
But if the nevus be allowed to grow,
1t will become large, highly vascular,
erectile tumor. probably invading and
involving the skin, liable to profuse
hemorrhage if injured; yet still quite
amenable to treatment, though of less
simple kind The modes of treating
n;evi are numerous, and are continually
increasing. of Health

How canaries Build a Ncs..

Many of us some time in our lives
have taken an old birds nest in our
hands and admired the wonderful struc-
ture, the neatness and care with which
the inside has been finished, whether it
be the nest of thrush, so carefully lined
with manure and smoothed off with
the art of well taught modeler, or
maybe the lovely lining which we find
in a robins nest or some of the fnches.
But we have few actual chances of see
ing these miniature homes put together,
unless they are built in captivity, under
which circumstances the art of nest
building becomes most interesting to a
careful watcher.
Let us take, for instance, canaries A
pair of these birds in their second sea-
sons building-by which time they have
perfected thoroughly the art, supposing
they are supplied with suitable box and
materials for the purpose-commence
first of all by filling the box with the
rougher pieces of moss, after which the
hen hops into the middle of it, and sit
ting down begins to turn round and
round; by this process the inside of the
nest is formed. If they find it not full
enough, more moss is brought and the
process repeated until it is to the salts
faction of the hen
After this the delicate part of lining
the nest is commenced, the hen sitting
in the nest while the cock supplies her
with hair, which he first prepares in the
following manner: After picking up a
small bunch of hair, which he holds
across the middle, he flies upon the
perch and knocks it from side to side
against the perch, to shake all loose
pieces out; after which he holds the
wisp or bunch of hair on the perch with
his foot, at the same time drawing his
beak up it with twisting motion
This is repeated until it becomes some
what woven together, and is then pre-
sented to the hen, which she carefully
takes and places in the moss, one piece
after another, until smooth lining is
the result. At this point she allows her
husband to enter the nest, which they
keep doing in turns, with great deal of
excitement and soft twittering, continu-
ally turning round and round to finish
it off in a workmanlike manner

What is Mors,..,s

A woolen yarn is soft and fluffy, while
worsted yarn is hard and firm, possess
ing much greater tensile strength. In
the woollen yarn the fibers are tangled
and crossed, and drawing is avoided as
much as possible in preparing the raw
material for spinning, SO as to leave the
natural curvature of the fbers undis-
turbed and afford the greatest freedom
of action to the felting and quality of
the wool. In worsted yarns the object
is to obliterate the felting quality and to
secure elongation and parallel arrange
ment of the fibers.
In the early days of the manufacture
the best results were only attainable in
worsted yarns from long fbered fleece.
The English woods are commonly called
combing woods for this reason, and it
was the possession of this fleece of an
unrivaled quality which made England
the birthplace of the worsted manufac-
ture, and has kept it at the front in this
process.
One of the results of improved ma
chinery has been to remove any distinc-
ton between woolens and worsteds
based upon the difference between the
woods employed in the two processes.
Short wool of merino blood can now be
combed as successfully as the longer
staple. The processes of treatment,
however, continue to differ radically.
This difference is primarily created by
the introduction of the combing ma
chine, an instrument unknown to the
wool manufacture proper.-S. N. D.
