so famous he had acted in barns and
walked between the small towns in
which he played. His career in this
country began in 1s49, when he acted
with Charlotte Cushman in ''The Stran-
GER That was forty-six years ago,
and ever since Mr.. Couldock has been
continuously on the stage. He APP
peared last in October in New Blood"
at Palmer's theater, New York.
Barring slight deafness which has
deprived him of the pleasure of going
to the theater, the old actor is still
vigorous and his memory is remarkable
for it's power of recalling details. In
cidents of the beginning of his career
are still as fresh in his mind as though
he were only commencing his stage
life instead of drawing near its close.
1t is a pleasure, too, when he speaks OF
the stage to-day to hear the generous,
optimistic views he expresses There
IS none of the captious faultfinding
which often comes from the old timers.
He finds the stage generally improved,
and he is glad to acknowledge the fact
and to explain what to him seem the
reasons for IL.

Tobacco causes cancer of the mouth and

30 have both the rails and ruler
as true as possible. The second
part of the phonograph is the ruler
(F). If it is slid through the guide
rails, the PIN attached to spring (E)
will mark slight line upon one side OF
the ruler: this is then reversed and the
other side also marked with line.
The same procedure is repeated on the
other side of the ruler. Along these
four lines grooves are filed in with wax,
and then covered with layer of as
heavy tinfou as can be had. The strips
of tinfoil should be somewhat wider
than the distance between the two
lines. After the tinfoil adheres to the
ruler the latter is slid through the
grooves of the guide-rails on the phono-
graph receiver in order to find out if
the needle leaves just faint line upon
the tin foil. If it does not, or if it
presses too hard, it has to be regulated
by the two screws holding it to the
guide-ral (D). After it has been prop
erly set the ruler is slid along the
mouthpiece with motion as uniform
as possible, speaking at the same time,

In Bill Cook, the notorious out
law, the mighty has fallen to an
ignoble level. Despite the lawless
deeds which he and his band per-
formed, to the terror of the people
of Oklahoma and contiguous terri
tory, and the difficulty and expense
attending his capture, Superintend-
ent Mcintyre, of the Albany IN.
~ penitentiary, has discovered
there is no latent wickedness in the
man; that he is merely very or
binary youth, stolid even to the verge
of stupidity; that there is moth
ing Of the hero or the villain about
him. In short, he finds that Bill
Cook is a very commonplace Grim
inal, who will need less watching
than some OF his companions.

OLDEST AMERICAN ACTOR.

Fifty Eight Years.

C. W. Couldock Has Been on the Stage
Fifty Eight Years.
Fifty-eight years on the stage is the
record of Charles W. Couldock, and,
with one exception, he is the oldest
actor in the English-speaking theat-
rical world. There is member Of
Henry Irving's company, Henry Howe,
who was born in 1912, and is three
years older than Mr.. Couldock, but here
INF the United States there is no player
who can equal the long active service
of Mr.. Couldock, or the eighty years he
reached on March 20 last. A talk with
him, says the New York Sun, seems to
link one with every period that has
been notable in the dramatic annals of
this country and recalls events which
seem too remote to have been partici-
pated in by SO hearty person as Mr..
Couldock is to-day. His associates in

Gle 1857 of the Revised Statutes distinctly pro-

made that no officer on the Retired List shall
be employed on active duty except in ease of

sTATELINEss IN WOMEN.

Statelines5 in women proceeds from sources
somewhat different from stateliness in men,
1t is much more Independent, to begin with,
of outward gifts. Not to mention our own
Queen, who, rs people who are not courtiers
affirm, can DO stately to awfulness, and Queen
! Isabella of Spain, who, in spite of her history
and her bulk is regal to an unusual degree it
is certain that the statelincs5 of Maria Theresa
impressed all who came in contact with her.
and certain also that no man as homely and
unreserved as she was in speech and in bear
ing, would have been credited with statelincss
1tseems to DO moro allied in women than in
men with Independence of mind, or sense that
the will is its own Justification, an absence that
is, of fear of external influence The person.
ality sufices 10 itself, and therefore thore is
stateliness. That is, we fancy, the secret rea-
son why stateliness in women annoys most men.
and many Of the same sex. They think they
ought to be moro influential and resent what
they consider to be aloofness. Unapproachable-
ness, which, of course, is one of the conditions
of stateliness, irritatcs mon in women, being
in fact, a faint affront to their amour propre.
and we think many women feel that, too. AT
least, we notice that this form Of praise, when
ever it is given to women, is n little cold and
that tho reverence stately woman excites is
apt to be little chilly.
There is reason for that in nature. the first
function of q woman being to attract. and
reason, too, in the confusion which most men
make in their thoughts when they are thinking
of women, that stateliness must indicate either
hauteur or unkindliness. Very often it is not
SO at all, some of the sweetest women being
stately; but the mistake is nearly always made,
and when a man. or, for that matter, q woman,
attributes to woman stateliness, there is sell
dom complete cordality in the eulogistic world.
