RECENT LITERATURE.

No one is more competent TO write of
''rhe Stage as IL Isl than Henry Irving
He is the greatest actor on IL: he has
done more to put IL in its present condi
tion than any other man living or dead.
He has written series Of articles,
originally read to different societies at
different times, now gathered In book
entitled "The Drama published by
TAFT, Sons q Company, Union Square,
New York. IL is worthy of careful peru
sal. The subjects treated are:
The Stage as it is the Art Of Acting:
-Four Great Actors
There is always an audience for a man
who has aught TO say. Henry
Irving has much to say. II his talents
and his scholarship did not entitle him
to a hearing his experience would. But
he has the three reasons for appearing to
speak of his art, namely; talent, scholar
ship, experience As an example of the
vigor, force and devotion TO his art,
with which Irving writes he says in one
essay II must add, as an additional
reason for valuing the theatre, that
while there is only Shakespeare, and
while there are comparatively few
dramatists who are sufficiently classic to
be read with close attention, there is a
great deal of average dramatic work ex-
cellently suited for representation. From
this the public derive pleasure. From
this they receive-as from fiction
in literature "a great deal of
instruction and mental stimulus
Some may be worldly, some social, some
cynical, some merely humorous and
witty, but a great deal Of IL, though its
literary merit Is secondary, Is well quail
fed to bring out all that is most fruit
full of good in common sympathies.
Now, IL is plain that if, because Shakes
peare is good reading, people were to
give the cold shoulder TO the the itre,
the world would lose all the advant-
age which comes to IL through the
dramatic faculty in forms not rising 10

Of it. He says again This effort

A Mystesy Explained.

Why does not a pan weigh q pound

readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process OF m~astication, deg
Tuition, etc., certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer.
else Of any muscle necessitates a tenn
porary waste Of its tissues, and a Ger
tain amount OF carbon is eliminated
and passes off during the course Of the
meal. This loss, however, is trifing
as compared with that due to respira-
ton and p~erspiration, both of which
are increased during the various ope-
rations Of making a meal. The length
of time one may take to consume q
pound OF food makes but little differ
ence to these losses, for if il is eaten
leisurely there is but slight increase OF
respiration, whereas if it is hurried
through both are abnormally acceler-
ated. Hence, by the time the pound
is eaten, the consumer has lost appre-

A Very Rich Find.

Another immense silver mine has
been discovered near Silver City. Me-
vada, by a teamster. The history of
the find" is as follows: The teamster
was driving along a trail near Silver
Gulch Canyon, when one of the wheels
OF his wagon ran over what appeared
to be a stone, but which emitted a Pc
culiar metallic ring. Kicking the dust
off the "stone," he found it to be a
huge nugget of almost pure silver. The
teamster took his find to Silver City,
displayed it there, then located his
claim and bought all the land around
it. He has received an offer Of $780,
900 in cash for his property. Some OF
the richest gold and silver mines in
the world have been found almost in
the same manner, usually by accident
and by persons who did not know their
value.
