of Tennessee as a suitable person for
trustee of the Tennessee Asylum for
the Insane, near Nashville, and this
marked appreciation Of his ability and
high character was shared by all the
succeeding governors for twenty years,
under whom he was re-appointed con-
tinuously to trusteeship, serving

Bro. Earnest was mason in the high
and true sense. He believed in, and
practiced, the true principles of ma
sonry. He was charitable and benevo-
lent. Whether in the lodge, in his
church or in his office, on all questions
involving moral, his position was as

Earnest for many years, and most Of

MAN iFIELD'S CRARKINESS.
A Great Actor Who is ChOck Full
of CrOchets.

The most thorough actor and
manager in America today is
Richard Mansfield" said member
Of the Fencing Master" company.
And he is also the most cranky. |
was with him last year and would
tell you enough of his crankiness
to fill book. He wants every
thing, even to the slightest detail,
done with the same care that he
bestows upon the strongest of his
scenes.
"Unlike most great actors he
is extremely particular about his
stage settings and will not play
unless he has the best. In the
supper scene he wants a real ban
quet, and a good one. When we
were playing in New York he had
the supper sent every evening from
the Fifth Avenue hotel, and it cost
what the average transforming
companies would consider a big
evenings receipts.
He wants real champagne and
will have none but Mumm's Extra
Dry. l remember when we were
in some town in Texas the property
boy couldn't find any of Mumm S
and so got bottle of cheap Cali
fornia champagne. Mansfield dis
covered it during the banquet scene,
and gave poor props fearful roast
when he got off the stage
But he is great actor in any
thing you put him in-comedy
tragedy, anything. His Beau
Brummel, his Baroa Chevrial, his
Shylock, all these are great char
acterizations and many person:
consider his Richard III the best
scene on the stage in many years
He is destined, l think, to be the
first actor in America, if not in tn,
world.

The 0Id-Tims Slhglag-SCh,ol,

In the old Colonial days when
the great and the great.great grand
mothers were young the Singing
school was we'll established lnsh'
tuition, writes Mary E. Estes in
very accurate article telling exact
" how THE Old-Time Concert
may be reproduced at a church
entertainment, in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. 1t was
usually held inthe village school
house, the schoolmaster often
figuring 4 as Ethe singing-mas
Thither at regular intervals through
the long winter months tripped the
grandmas with their escorts. Little
did they imagine, as they lifted up
their sweet voices in unison with
the strong tenors and bassos, that
those same airs, even the very
gowns they wore, would at some
distant day be reproduced for the
benefit of an appreciatlve audience;
vet it may be safely asserted that
with the exception of the Colonial
tea the old folks concert is the
most { popular of the old-time
entertainments.
The success....of an. undertaking
of this sort depends largely upon
the adaptability.. for her office OF
the person having. the affair in
hand. She must, of necessity,
have an accurate conception OF
the manner in which these enter
tainments were. conducted in our
grand mothers day. She must
also become thoroughly imbued
with the spirit'of that olden time.

DON'T DYE YOUR HAIR.
How Ii should BE Treated When Turning
Gray.

How Ii Should BE Treated When Turning
Gray.
Concerning gray hair, there seems to
be no rational theory for change in the
color of the hair, except that of loss of
pigment, color and presence of gaseous
matter in the hair shaft This may be
the result of natural or artificial causes.
Probably among Americans the early
stage at which the hair blanches is due
largely to nervous conditions. Mental
and physical disturbances undoubtedly
often affect the secreting apparatus of
the hair, destroying coloring matter,
for history records instances of the
change of hair from dark to white in a
single night through the cerebral ex-
element of some great loss, bodily or
mental anguish; neither can coloring
matter once entirely destroyed be re-
stored.
Do not believe tho quacks who pre-
tend to restore esay hair to the youth
full color in any other way than by dye
ing, for science has not yet discovered
tirely exhausted, can be renewed.
Dark hair may be bleached, but no sane
| person could be deceived by the dull,
lusterless yellow of hair so treated,
neither does dye deceive anyone, and
a woman who would look charming
with a head of white hair kept per-
fectly clean and fluffy with legitimate
treatment, becomes disgusting when
she resorts to such flagrantly artificial
means for keeping the hair dark or
! blonde.
When ones hair turns gray atten-
tion should be directed towards keep
ing it scrupulously clean; toward keep
ing the complexion delicate and fine
with color. the eyes bright and tho ex-
preston animated, for a brilliant face,
framed by snowy hair, has peculiar
charm, if the hair be abundant and be-
comingly arranged. - Detroit Free

How 10 Study German.

The study of German is by no
means so simple a'imatter as the
words might imply, writes Professor
A. S. Isaacs, of the University OF
New York, giving some valuable
advice under the title when
Studying German" in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. 1t may
signify a mere reading knowledge
of the language or thu most
thorough acquaintance with Its
literature, and ability to speak Ut
with absolute fluency and idiomatlc
accuracy. Naturally the methods
of study will vary according to the
purpose in view and the age and
requirements of the student. There
is no royal road to the study OF
German or any language, however
glowing Z are the predictions OF
some teachers and anticipations OF
credulous pupils. Success IN
language study depends upon the
students ambition, industry and
ability. 1t is less a question OF
teacher or textbook, although these
are not to be despised. But as
in everything inilife, success must
be earned in lang lage study by
earnest, we'll directed and system
attic individual effort.
