BAD AIR AND COLDS,
Why Catarrhal Troubles Are More

in recent magazine, docs not cause
throat and lung diseases, but only bad air.
The fact that there is a marked increase
in these diseases during the cold weather
he fits to his theory by declaring that such
disorders are produced, not by the cold air,
but by the indoor life that accompanies
the season.
An open fire in every living room in
every house." says another enthusiast on
the same subject of ventilation, would do
more to lower the death rate from respira-
tory diseases than any medication or other
existing remedial agency. Barring this. he
urges frequent airing of rooms constantly
occupied but also insists that the ventila-
ticn be done on principles of common
sense. "Steam-heated rooms" pursues this
carping critic, particularly In apartments,

knotted the last of the rupees into his
waist belt. Mowgli helped Messua through
the window, and the cool night air revived
her, but the jungle in the starlight looked
very dark and terrible.
"Ye know the trail to Kanhiwara?'
Mowgi whispered.
They nodded.
Good. Remember, now, not to be afraid.
And there Is no need to go quickly. Only

Think you we would have risked a

he were Baloo repeating an old jungle law

say that not a tooth in the jungle is barred

Messua flung herself sobbing at Mowglfs
feet, but he lifted her very quickly with a
shiver. Then she hung about his neck and
called him every name of blessing che
could think of, but her husband looked
enviously across his fields and said: IF we

STAGE STARS GET SCARED.
Few of Them Able to Make n Speech
Before the Curtain.


From the Philadelphia Press.
AS a rule actors are not speechmakers.
The very people who are always easy and
self-possessed so long the curtain re-
mains up and the footlights interpose be-
tween them and their auditors become
confused, nervous and often positively
awkward whenever they have to appear in
front of the curtain and talk to the aud
ience instead of for it, The change in
their manner and appearance is often al
most ineXplcable The man VINO can play
the most difficult of parts with effect, and
who can, in conversation with his friends,
talk brilliantly and wittily. is at a disad-
vantage when he stands on the narrow
strip of boards between the curtain and the
footlights.
II don't know why It is," said a we'll
known actor the other day in trying to
explain this phenomenon to a writer for
the New York Advertiser, unless II is
because of the sudden and complete change
of attitude toward the audience. On the
stage we have our lines committed to
memory. The mental eXertion OF recalling
them and of doing the rehearsal business
keeps our minds off the fact that there are
a thousand or more people listening to US.
When we are called before the curtain
are for the first time face to face with cur
audience. Ergo, We get nervous and EN-
barrassed, and very often make show OF
ourselves
There are a few actors, however who
make a really good footlight speech with
out minute preparation, and enjoy doing
it, Richard Mansfield is one of them. He
is always ready to make a speech, and he
does so without notes, easily and forcibly.
Mr.. Mansfelds speeches are not often,
however, the stereotyped phrases of graft
tude to which most actors confine them
selves. When he comes before the curtain
he has something to say besides II thank
you," and he says 1t without fear or favor.
His delivery is little halting, but he is
always self-possessed and the popularity
of his elocution seems to add not a little to
the effect of his words.

LETTING IN THE JUNGLE
Further Adventures of Mowgli.

gil. Last night 1t was Mowgli-the last
night seeing many rains ago. Tonight. 1t Is
Messua and hnr man. Tomorrow and for
many nights after it will be Mowgli's turn
again.
He crept along outside the wall till he
came to Messua's hut, and looked through
the window into the room. There lay Mes
sua, gagged anG cound hand and foot,
breathing hard and groaning. and her hus-
band was tied to the gaily painted bed
.stead. The door of the hut that opened
into the street was shut fast, and three or
four men were sitting with their backs
to IT.
Mowgli knew the manners and customs
of the villagers very fairly. He argued
that so long as they could eat and talk and
smoke they would not do anything else;
but as soon as they had fed they would be-
gin to be dangerous. Buldeo would be
coming in before long, and IL his escort
had done fits duty Buldeo would have a
very interesting tale 10 tell. So he went In
through the window, and STOPPING ever the
man and the woman, cut their thongs,
pulled out the gags and looked around the
hut for some milk.
Messua was half wild with pain and fear
(she had been beaten and stoned and cuffed
all the morning), and MowgH put his hand
over her mouth just in time to stop a
scream. Her husband was only bewildered
and angry, and sat picking dust and things
out of his torn beard.

sua sobbed at last. Now do / know that

New YORK, September 17.-Ward Nc
Allister believes in the old saw that
forewarned is forearmed," and when
Mrs. Mccall brings her suit for breach of
promise against the son of the famous
leader of the 400, there may be some
testimony that will embarrass her. Nc
Allister, ST., has been gathering evidence
with assiduity that proves that he is good
for something more than q model for
those who wish to be in the swim. He
has learned that Mrs. Mccall has rather
an unenviable st. Louis record, and two
well-known men of that city, as well as
a prominent New York newspaper man,
may have to tell what they know of the
woman's past. One of the St. Louisans
in question is Colonel John Norton, man.
ager of the st. Louis Grand Opera House,
who is one of the best known theatrical
men in the country, and whose wife eloped
some years ago with Henry Moore, man
aging editor Of the Post-Dispatch. Mrs.
Mccall played temporary engagement
in st. Louis not very long ago, which
ended in her chasing the susceptible
Colonel Norton through the streets with
ahorsewhip. All this, with much inside
history, Mr.. McAllister is said to have
gathered as ammunition in case his son
Hayward is called upon to renounce his
celibacy.
