~rhe Scarlet Letter" Dramatized.

Our recent plays are mainly taken
from French sources, and al attempt is
often if vainly made to retain their
dramatic effect and yet to exclude that
treatment which makes the essence OF a
French work written for French au-
diences Plays seem often to be vamped
up for a long run and for short life, in
the higher sense of dramatic life We
also frequently adapt novels, mostly OF
a meloGramatic character, for the stage.
One pregnant instance may suffice
"The Scarlet Letter" has been presented
with "happy ending" Oh, shade of
injured Hawthorne 4 very fine nara
tive which depends upon psychological
analysis cannot well be made into a
good drama Action is so much coarser
than thought that the morbid pathology
of a story Of passion, guilt and sorrow,
with every motive dissected and every
character analysed, becomes mere COM
monplace adultery and very ordinary
melodrama.
Hawthorne is to be read, not seen.
His power consists in analytical study
and his fine essence escapes the realism
of the stage. That which is left for act
ing is the mere residuum, the vile body,
of his delicate, almost supersubtle con-
ception. He is a great author, but not
an essentially dramatic one. His method
escapes the acting drama. A playwright
WHO would deal with "The Scarlet Let
ter" should not attempt to dramatize
the novel, but should treat it as Shake
speare used the chronicles of Baker or
of Holinshed. The work should merely
suggest to the dra1natist certain Incl
dents and characters. Gentleman

ters there would be no thieves.
Counsel gives me the impression Of

at last he sits down, gets IL months for

woman.s Dependence ON Man.

Wonderful that while knowledge
comes wisdom fingers. Wonderful that
what women have suffered so long to
win, once won they should cease to
prize; that education should not teach
woman that man was by nature very far
removed from the gentle domestic ami
NAL she knows today. However the
modern woman may swagger about her
individuality, may talk OF her Esprit
ual needs" and deplore the stupid tyr
amy of man, who demands sacrifices
from her in return for his tenderness,
protection and support, the fact is not
changed that however much she may
be mans intellectual equal or spiritual
superior the exigencies of motherhood
put her at his mercy. She cannot be en-
tirely self dependent except at the cost
of the welfare of the offspring. The fac
tory acts are recognition of the right
of the child to it's mothers health and
vitality. Woman simply may not eat
her cake and have it too. Using all her
energies for her own needs she cannot
give vigor to her children. If she en-
ploy for her own ends her store of life,
she robs the child. To adequately sup
ply the new generation with health,
brains and nerve she must husband her
resources and yield herself to the gener-
osity and tenderness Of the man and
trust to his care, That he has not always
been generous and tender, that he is not
always so even now, does not alter the
general fact. Elizabeth Bisland in

Fish Slaughter.

J. W. Nash Of the Minnesota state
fish and game commission says that fish
ermen actually catch the sturgeon for
the roe and throw the fish itself away.
II was told, said he, "that in Lake
Nemegen last year one firm caught tons
of splendid sturgeon, and after strip
ping them Of the eggs threw what thou
sands would have been glad to get ON a
heap and burned them.
''If this policy is allowed to continue
few years, there will be lakes without
fish. When I was up on the northern
border @ few weeks ago to issue licenses
for the pound nets, was told that a
certain fish company was practicing this
ruinous fishing in Rainy lake and other
lakes. My information came from two
men, and as they said the fishermen had
no way Of preserving the carcasses as
stmed that the same wicked waste of
that is used Is the roe. It is shipped to
Europe to be Made into cayiare, "
The roe is packed into kegs and salt

Germany to BE- made into a fayorite dish
found mostly On SALOON lunch counters
and eaten with bread in the shape of a

Changing Diseases.

In that delightful book, "Ridel
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ing from a malarial neighborhood,
that it don't do for a man at his
time Of life to 60 about changing
his diseases and adding. that there
are diseases incident to almost
every locality, and be likes a dis
ease he is used to.
Now, in case of malarial dis
eases, aside from the unwilling
ness of patients to "change dis
cases." it is generally not conven-
lent to change their residence. If
this were done in every case, some
of our most thriving communities
would be depopulated.
Nothing is left to do therefore
but to fortify oneself against mala-
rial influences. For this purpose
Drs, Starkey & Palen's Compound
Oxygen has proved itself in the
past % years the most efficient
thing in the world.
Any person desiring to change
diseafes for health should write us
a plain statement of the case, when
if possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with

WHY IRVING WAS KNlGHTED.
According to an English Writer, He Die
tated to the Government Its Duty.

Scarcely had NJ Daudet, with true
Partisan provincialism complained that
we had presumed to lay the bones of
great actors in Westminster abbey along
side those of members Of his profession
than our reply comes in the announce
ment that henceforth the leading actor
in England shall have title like the
presidents of the academies of music
and painting This act of justice has
not been "graciously conferred. F" 1t has
been resolutely demanded and enforced
by an artist to whose profession it means
social charter of some value. Every
actor in the kingdom will profit by this
mighthood more than Henry Irving,
and that is why it was a really fine
thing of him to insist on having it.
1t should be especially y noted that it is
solely as actor and manager that he has
won the position from which he has
been able to dictate to the government
it's duty to his art He has rendered no
services to literature. His Whole career
is in that respect an almost schoolboyish
confession that he does not know litera-
ry chalk from literary cheese. Stevenson
or OxenfQrd, Goethe or Wills, Shake
speare or Frank Marshall-it would be
fattering him to say that they are all
one to him, for there is the strongest
evidence to suggest that he decidedly
prefers Oxenford, Wills and Marshall
He has never written play, though
he has spoiled several Nor has he, like
Mrs. Kendall, followed the prevailing
fashion of parading the virtue of his
domestic life in order to gain Preside
appreciation. He does not NEEDLE in i'm
perial politics nor discuss municipal af-
fairs except on the point strictly ger
name to his own business of a munich
pal theater. He is only the acknowledge
ed chief Of his profession. Take that
away from him, and the name of Henry
Irving has no longer meaning. That
is why his victory over an unjust preju-
dice and a snobbish tradition is SO COM
plete No one can separate his distinc-
ton from his specific art, except by 60
ing behind his skill as an actor to those
personal qualities by which men gain
pre-eminence in all professions. Lon

 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly an nounced through the columns of the Her aid that he would treat only special class of diseases that he would eyer achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- ]ieve with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmiu gham may well be proud of him.
 Birmingham Daily News.
 No specialist in the south IS more fa- miliar with the treatment of private troubles than Dr. Y. B. Holloway. Dur ing his long residence in this city he has successfully treated many thousands of pa- tiepts suffering with private troubles of every conceivable form. This great expe- rience, together with his skill and ability, not only places the doctor at the head of his profession in such matters, but is a guarantee to all that place themselves un- der his care that they will receive the best treatment possible to be obtained.
