Her First Appearance.

Mary Anderson de Navarro in her stage
career memoirs, which win be published In
The Ladies' Home Journal (the opening chap
tiers in the December ISSUE, gives the public
most interesting and entertaining view of the
trials and hardships she successfully combated
in following out her conviction that the stage
presented to her the opportunity for splendid
career. She eXultantly refers to her debut in
Louisville. KY, on Saturday evening, Nov
~ 1875, upon which occasion the "tall, shy and
awkward" girl of sixteen interpreted Shakes
peare's love-lorn Juliet" The performance
was arranged upon two days notice - time
but for a single rehearsal-and the aspiring
Kentucky girl was jubilant when the theater
and a stock company were offered her, upon
condition that she play without pay. Her
happiness, however, was not unclouded, for
of the event she writes with touching pathos
"That Thursday" Crhe day that her first APP
pearance was arranged was one of the hap
piest days of all my life, filed as il was with
the brightest hope and anticipation. Only
one black cloud hung over It; the thought of
Monte and my grandparents who were all very
dear To me. Had / known then that / would
never see the face ofthe former, that he would
die, my mother and faraway from him, and
that almost until his death he would refuse to
forgive or see me unless abandoned the stage
life which he thought so injurous-nay sinful
i would even then have renounced what was
within my grasp. This estrangement sad
ueneu many years oI my lle, anu mas cast
a shadow over all the otherwise bright and
happy memories of him who was the father,
friend and playmate of our childhood days"
Mrs. de Navarro eviently did not suffer
from "stage fright" the crushing terror of
debHdnteS, for she writes that she stood i'm
patiently waiting for her .'cue" to go on. At
last ii came. "Then, in flash, was on the
stage, conscious only of wall of yellow light
before me, and a burst of prolonged applause"
The performance was filled with rather de-
pressing incidents; one of the players forgot
his lines and had To he rtpl nv a
youthful star; "Romeo' neglected to bring his
dagger, and "Juliet" had to perform her dis
patch with a hairpin, while the lamp that
her hands and arms. "Despite of these" she
writes, ''the night was a success, and j knew
that my stage career had begun i'm earnest

What to Do With Photographs.

Among the treasures which the sum-
: mergirl brings home with her none give
her more pleasure than the photographs
she has accumulated; nor do any souve-
Mrs cause a greater amount of worry
that is if they are unmounted-and
"Whatshall do with them?" becomes
a perplexing question.
Of course they can be taken to a pro-
fessional who does mounting for a con-
sideration, but the sum of the bill is
not pleasing sequel, and more often
than not the pictures, though dear to
memory, are lost to sight in the dim
obscruity of a table drawer.
There is way, a homemade way,
to mount photographs which proves
so satisfactory if carefully undertaken,
with due amount of time and patience
thrown in, that it seems worth while
to suggest it.
Cut some moderately stout cardboard
in the sizes you require, place your pic
ture where you wish it to be when
mounted, and put pencil dot where
each corner comes. A large table and
plenty of newspapers are needed and a
pot of gelatine. This is much better
than mucilage or paste. 1t should be
melted and the pot in which it stands
placed in another one of hot water,
which should be renewed from time to
time.
small sponge, tied to the end of a
stick, is used to apply the gelatine.
One advantage of gelatine is that if an
album becomes worn out the photo
graphs can easily be removed by soak
ing the pages in hot water; it also does
not leave dirty stains if little gets
over the edges of the LECTURE
A second basin of hot water is also
required, with small sponge floating
in it.
Now take the first photograph and
spread it as well as you can face
upward OH newspaper. Dampen the
face thoroughly with hot water, rub
bling it gently with the sponge. The
photograph will soon lie fiat instead of
rolled up; then turn it over, back up
ward and apply the gelatine with
sponge brush, taking care, that the
whole is covered. The picture must
now be taken and placed boldly i'm the
album, the pencil marks made before
being used as guides.
In order that the mounting may be
done in first-rate style, this placing i'm
position should be done at one motion
and the picture should not be moved
a1tefWard.
To fix the photograph in its place,
dab it with soft towel or large cloth,
beginning at the center and working
outward. Do not rub it with cloth.
The dampening of the photograph
with water and gelatine will be found
to have expanded it somewhat, so that
the pencil marks made before must be
used as guides to its position rather
than indications Of the exact positions
of the corners. Unless the gelatine is
quite hot it will be lumpy.
However well the photograph is
mounted, it is almost certain at first
to be covered with small blisters, and
you will think that it is spoiled. In
the process of drying however. all these
disappear and the surface becomes per-
fectly smooth and even, and you begin
to wonder why you have never tried
your hand before at this work. In
deed, such pleasing and satisfactory
employment is it that you wonder why
you ever do anything else but mount
observation-disclosures Lexington.

Bring in Your Poultry,

Messrs. DIN & Anderson opened
their poultry market on Oct. eth for the

Ribbons or narrow galloons spangled

-TheSt. Paul Pioneer Press says that
''if any support had been lacking fol-
the theory that Minnesota is the
healthiest state in the Union, it has
been supplied by the exemption from
the prevelant earthquake" Well,
now, that's lots of cheek, i'm the face
of the fact that it is matter of which
everyone will take judicial notice that
Iowa is the healthiest state i'm the
Union.
The schooner Mary Bupne from
Unalaska reports experiencing severe
earthquake at sea Oct. "a. Thecaptain
was in the riggings and the sea was as
smooth as glass when the vessel began
to shake violently, every timber creak-

ed. The phenomena lasted two min
utes. On the following day the
schooner passed through large area of
apparently muddy water.
Our boys who visited Minneapolis
recently, relate a story told by one of
the after-dinner speakers. He said he
would relate a little Bible incident,
found, he thought, somewhere i'm Gen
esis. The substance of it was that
God created the heavens and earth
and rested. On the sixth day he Gre
ated man and rested again; and it is to
be hoped that he took a good, long
rest, for then he created woman, and
neither God nor man has had any rest
since.-Corwith Hustler
