spoiling the Romance.

cit is verywell, = said aleading actress,
'to have nice, sentimental parts, to be
cast away in boat and come in for o
share Of the enthusiasm created by the
great scenic effects but just consider
when the scene is called for again and
again. and you are kept rocking like mad
for good 20 minutes. 1t isn't SO at
tractive then, to say nothing of being
obliged to take call absolutely green
with seasickness, ard then run down
stairs to change when you can't even
see straight. 1t is like making nightly
fall all through hecountry, ON all sorts
of rugs, chiefly fur ones, that are full of
dust and the hair Of which flies awfully.
1t isn't so pleasant to lie there while the
scene is berg finished by the other act
ors, and you i'll dead faint strangle
yourself to keep from coughing.
''Or take the scene in Nero where you
lie on the couch. and Nero pushes you off
ON the floor Toa certain extent you can
make yourself fall comfortably, but if
you don't, if your arms get twisted I'M
der you, or your neck is bent, you have
to stand it and lie there dead through a
long scene. An actress who played the
part told me that one night Nero forgot
to push her off the couch, and there she
was in a frightfUlly uncomfortable posi-
ton, almost dead, and so far on the
couch that she couldn't make herself fall
off even if she would have dared to risk
interrupting the scene. The dear people
in the audience do not think of these
things that are part of the work of pleas
ing them Boston Transcript

Native Courtesy of Women.

Ledyard, the great traveller, says
that among all nations women adorn
themselves more than men, but that
whenever found they are the same
kind, civil, humane and tender beings,
inclined to be cheerful, timorous and
modest He has found the women on
the plains of inhospitablc Denmark,
through honest Sweden. frozen Lap
land churlish Finland and unprinci-
pied Russia more hospitable and gener-
Gus than men, full of courtesy, fond
of society, but Industrious. economical
and ingenious. And whenever the
traveller, in the language of decency
and friendship, has asked question of
any woman. civilized or savage, he has
always received decent and friendly
answer, while with men it is often
otherwise.

bone they produce, are virtually ex-
tinct in these waters, and the whaling
feet now push on to Behring sea,
Okhotsk sea. and the Arctic proper.
1t is fact that whalebone and ivory
are two animal products which art or
science have not been able to repro
duce. In the good days of plenty
whalebone sold at one dollar and a
half pound; its price to-day is six dol
lars. That gives fair idea of how the
supply has diminished in the last ten
wears.

At the present time an English and
Scotch company is building three yes
sells at Dundee for the purpose of send
