GOOD NEW BLOOD.
The Stage Is Improving, Not
Retrograding.
THREE BRIGHT YOUNG ACTRESSES

Fifty Years Ago They Would Have Been
Instantly Famous. Today There Are
Many Ike Them -LAura Burt, Viola
Allen and Neuie Campbell.
With everything else the stage is pro-
crossing. The people who sigh for the old
DAYS. and who complain that the rising
generation Of actors l. not what we have
known in the past, belong in the same
las with the folk who in these days Of
steam transportation and electric lights
look with regret on the time u stage
coache~ and candles. The difficulty j. that

be good. and 80 tine CON rl-t between the

and has honestly ea ned "a biz place in the
hearts Of theatregC RS. In New York they
feel much more ID u the ordinary amount
Of admiration for Uer, and i- came about
in this way.
Miss Burt was playing a small sOubrette
part at one Of the popular Theatres some
time ago. when IL was announced one
Wednesday morning about II o'clock that
the actress who played the leading role
was III and would be unable 10 appear for
the afternoon performance. This was a
very serious dilemma. for, strangely
enough no one mad understudied the part.
Tn manager was in despair. Finally he
nmm-W =. NJ d. uwI .aEaI ~ - ~
could not take il. At first she said she
could not. for she did not know il, but as
the theatre would be forced 70 close unlc -
she came 70 the rescue she promised TO do
the best she could. Between II O'Clock and
2 she had learned the first two acts. Then
the curtain rose. and she went on the stage
without knowing a line Of the third and
fourth acts.
Fortunately in the third act most Of her
business" was lone while standing by a
sideboard and a mantel and sitting at a
table. Copies Of her part were lying on
zach Of the three pieces Of furniture, and
she read her lines outright, studying dur
ing the pauses the lines Of the fourth act,
which was the most difficult Of all, and
during which she would have no oppor-
tunjty 20 see her lines.
When the curtain rose on the fourth act
she was pretty badly scared, but she went
on the stage bravely and carried it through
without a break. And the audience never
had cause 70 suspect for a during
the entire performance hat she was not
Zine perfect in the part, and had not
learned the business Of il in dozens Of
careful rehearsals. After that, during the
-four or five weeks while she played the part,
she made a veritable hit, and il l. not az all
certain that the public was not sorry when
the leading woman recovered from her i'll
ness and Miss Burt retired from the part.

She Is "a VERY hard Working little woman.
Nine wears AGO she did not understand a
word Of the tongue which she now speaks
without an accent. and 20 this day she
uses her native lauguage-Welsh-wheu-
ever she can. She says she likes its jun
bled -consonant sounds much better than
she does English. Moreover, she devOtes
every spare moment ghich she can find in
her days-already pretty well filed with
rehedrsals and performances-to studying
French.
She has had ever since she was - years
old a very powerful incentive for all this
hard work In the care Of her mother. They
live together in a coy little fiat when they
are i'm New York, and when Miss Burt is
forced by her profession 20 travel the

voice and charming manner which brings

and with her big eye, fresh complexion
and shock Of curly brown hair she always

oldest is not over dozen years of age.
They are bright and lively little folk,

agreement when one or the other pair of

It CHANGED not long since that to this
interesting family there came still fur
ther addition in the shape of baby sis

lighted that there should be a girl in the
family, and supposed that the sons would
be equally pleased. It was accordingly
with a smiling face that the father went
to make the announcement to the little
fellows, who at the moment were all to-

King Alfonso's Democratic Ways.


Whenever the king sees grandee or
gentleman whom he knows he calls them
by their Christian names, or their sur.
names without their title, custom al
ways reproved by his governess. 'Eh!
Xiquenar' exclaimed the king one day,
as the ex-minister passed. The govern
ess, who knew that the counts father
was dead, and that the son had inherit
ed the title, observed, 'sSire, permit me
to remind your majesty that the person
whom you do the honor to address is the
Duke of Bivona." The king burst out
laughing and exclaimed: "The Duke Of
Bivona! This is nice! But know that
it is Xiquena! Are you not XiquenaT' he
added, addressing the count. 'Yes,
SIRE" ''Do you see," the little king went
on. s'this woman has mania for giving
people new names. Doesn't she pretend
that Juanito" ian officer of the royal
guard much loved by the king sis the
Marquis of Soto Mayor" "Indeed, sire.
he is; and you will permit me to remind
your majesty that he should be SO ad-

A Monster Acrolits.

In May, 1888, the National museum Of
Brazil came into final possession of one
of the largest meteorites or aerolites
that was ever known to fall upon either
section Of the American continents. The
noble specimen weighs 1880 pounds
and originally laid imbedded in the
ground near Bendego creek, in one of
the most inaccessible portions of Brazil.
The cost of transporting it from the
place where it first struck American soil
was betrayed by Baron Greatly. The
survey Of the route and preliminary ar
rangements occupied three months; its
journey to the capital commenced Nov.
25, 1887, and it was nearly five
months later before it was finally landed
at the little railroad depot in the wilder
ness from whence it was transported to
Rio Janeiro.
During the four months in which it
was being pulled, pushed and rolled by
man and mule power through the track
less forests, over steep mountains and
sandy wastes, it crossed over one hun
dred streams of all sizes, was taken
over one mountain chain 8,700 feet in
height, besides many smaller elevations.
All of this in region where the best
roads are only mule paths. A better
idea of the difficulties these scientists
encountered in securing their prize may
be had from knowledge of the fact
that a total of 172 days was consumed
in moving it from Bendego creek to the
railway station, a distance Of only III
miles. The pluck and energy exhibited
by these gentlemen in moving this gi-
gantic airstone to their national museum
is curious commentary on the scientific
ideas of the early part Of the century,
which denied the existence of such bod
les as aerolites. ST. louis Republic.

Diseases s. of Childhood.

Perhaps the most important physio-
logical period in childhood is when the
first set Of teeth is erupting. DR.. Ar
buthnot has calculated that one child in
ten has its life destroyed in consequence
Of diseases which have their origin at
this time. Professor Camper states that
out of ., 1888 infants admitted to found
ling hospitals only SS4 were alive at the
end of the fifth year. Thus it is evident
that children should be carefully cared
for, and believe that besides those who
die from diseases readily traceable to ir-
ritation during the eruption Of the tenn
porary teeth number are the victims
of diseases superinduced by general neg
lect of the mouth, and the consequent
tooth decay and improper mastication of
food. Cor. New York Herald.
