The Amateur Actress.

We had rather throw aside this pen
forever than to write word to discour-
age any woman who is conscientiously
striving to earn position on the stage;
but there are other women-some in the
profession, some in the audience-to
whom it is grossly unfair to put forth an
inexperienced amateur as a star. Con-
slider, ladies and gentlemen, what a poor,
miserable art that Of acting would be if
anybody could acquire it in a few les
sons, in a year or SO, from a private box
across the footights TO the center of the
stage. 1t takes longer time to learn to
be carpenter or to play a piano, to be
dressmaker or to paint a picture, to be
typewriter or to cnt hair properly
than amateurs who are now willing tc
bestow upon the art which includes, em.
ploys and digniies all other arts from
statuesque posing to wig wearing. II
acting could be taught in day it would
not be SO well paid nor SO highly esteem
ed, and good acting would not be SO un
common.-StephenF Fiske in Spirit of the

The Evolution OF the sword.

AS men In early times fought hand to
hand, the Oldest specimens of the sword
are short; in fact, the sword is probably
but an evolution of the club, which at
first made of hard wood was gradually
sharpened on one and then on both sides,
so as to infiict a more deadly wound.
Even today we find some savage races
employing wooden weapons. Wood
gave way to stone, which in turn was
displaced by bronze, iron and. finally
steel.
The sword increased in length as men
became more civilized and showed dis
position to fight farther away from each
