Metal Ceilings.

The evolution in the last few years. in the preparation of metal ceilings, has witnessed the improvement from crimp- ed or corrugated sheets to the handsome and architectural designs that mark the product of newer methods and improved machinery. The raised designs on the metal enable the decorator to obtain these beautiful effects of lights and shadows which are so essentially neces- sary to give life and character to the work, and as tho designs are executed to conform with the many different styles of decorations there is scarcely 8 limit to the effects to De obtained, and at much less cost than can be secured from other and lels durable materials. They can be applied to any form of room and arc of special value in churches, courtreoms and theaters on account of acoustic properties and rich effects, which are obtained at minir mum cost. They are also of special value on account of ventilation. Ma tional Builder.

KISSING ON HE STAGE
An Accomplished Actress Protests Against
 It and Loses Her Position.

AS Auu Loses Her Position
 The question whether real kissing is permitted on the stage is being hotly discussed in the press and theatrical cir. cles in Vienna. During the ten repre- sentations of a new piece all went we'll. The actress Frau Leuthold, a married lady, allowed herself to be kissed as re- quired. But before the curtain rose on the eleventh evening she declared that her husband had forbidden real kissing. When tho scene came on again, she held both her hands before her face, and the actor forcibly took them away to i'm. print tho kisses on her cheek, a contre- temps which of course ruined the effect. The role was then taken from Frau Leuthold. She also refused to allow any real kisses in another piece where they were also deemed essential, and accord ingly she was dismissed, though she was one of the most talented and also one of the prettiest members of the company. Her dismissal occurred only two days ago, and since then the question Ito be kissed or not to be kissed" on the stage has monopolized public attention.
 Nearly every actress of renown has been asked her opinion by the Viennese newspapers. It is curious to note that nine-tenths of the female artistes, in. cluding tho most celebrated on the con- temporary German, Hungarian and French stage, are in favor of real kiss. ing and refuse the sham article. 'tIt is only part of our duty" they say. Moreover, the kiss is washed away with the rouge. A kiss on the stage is no kiss at all It is only part of the stage paraphernalia, like the dresses and the drop scenes. Before the scenes kissing comes as part of our duty. Behind the scenes it is exactly the contrary"
 A Hungarian tragedienne says, "An actress who so far forgets her role as to find anything objectionable in 6 stage kiss, I mean a real kiss, does not de- serve to be called an artiste at all The voices on the other side are, up to the present, very few. The feelings and po- sition of tho husband of any actress who has to be kissed on the stage night after night by the same partner is altogether neglected. Vienna Cor. London Stand ard.

ROMAN MOBILES puPEp.
Count visone, g Trusted DipIomatist, In
 an Ugly Card Scandal.

Count Yisone, Trusted DipIomatist, In
 an Ugly Card Scandal.
 French and Italian newspapers have been referring mysteriously this week te a new card scandal in Rome The of. fender is Count Visone, son of former minister of tho royal household and for some time past secretary of the Italian embassy in Berlin. He went to Rome on a visit last week, and as usual spent good deal of time at the Nobles' club, where play runs high. One evening the count lost 15, 900 francs and nonchal- antly drew a check on his Berlin bank CTS for 25, GOO francs, which he handed to the club steward, saying:
 Pay 15, GOO francs to these gentle men and give me the difference. ''
 This was done. The count paid sev. eral other visits to the club, but the day before the check was due back from Berlin he vanished. It turned out that his account at his Berlin bankers amounted exactly to 63 francs, and the check was of course dishonored.
 The affair caused great stir at the foreign office, for Count Visone was a trusted diplomat, who only recently, for over three months, acted as charge d 'af- faires at Berlin. Baron Blanc, the for eign minister, immediately dismissed the count from the diplomatic service, and it is hoped that the scandal will soon bo forgotten, but this is not like ly, because it has been utilized as a means of attacking the entire system in accordance with which the Italian dip lomatic service is filled with impecuni- ous young sprigs of nobility, whose fam flies consider it beneath their dignity to allow their sons to engage in commerce or even to enter any government em- ployment other than the diplomatic serY- ice as secretaries of embassies and lega- tions. They of course have entrance in to the highest society wherever they are stationed, and as four out of five of them are inveterate gamblers the results ars disastrous and fruitful of scandals like that of Count Visone. The matter is oc- oupying the personal attention of King Humbert and may result in some kind of action on his part with view to put ting stop to high play among tho Ro- man nobility.
