the initiated will understand il a much
more difficult thing TO do than To follow
the conception laid down by some other
performer. As Irene was born In Phila-
delphia Jan. l, 1889, she will be less than
Qyears old mt the time that she becomes a
full iedged star In part which is the
longest in the piece, and IL would seem i'm
possible for tot of such tender ago to
master such a role were It not for the fact
that she has amply demonstrated her abil.
ity to do this by her excellent work in the
past. She made her debut on the stage
when she was less than and appeared
professionally just after she had passed
life's third milestone. This interesting
event occurred Mt the Star theater,
Philadelphia, on which occasion the child
appeared in character singing act,
making four complete changes. She
made n great hit and was soon playing
regular engagements in the vaudeville
houses. In 1894 her father, Will II. Myers,
devised double speciality "turn" in
which he appeared conjointly with his lit
tie girl
They have since appeared in most Of
the important cities of the country, except.
ing those in New York state and some in
Massachusetts,, where the law does not per-
NIT a child of tender years to exhibit upon
the stage. In 1896 the team" joined
James A. Reilly's company, which was
giving "A German Soldier and "The
Broom Maker" In the latter Irene played
the role Of Daisy, thing which would
seem almost incredible to any one familiar
with the hard work and intelligence de-
manded by it. She was at the time unable
to read and was Obliged to memorize the
NJ y, haN hon
after time. Besides this, she had roper
tory of about 20 songs, which she was
using as occasion demanded.
When she left tho Reilly company, Irene
joined May Prindle in repertory, where
she was assigned parts in four plays,
among them being "Oliver Twist" in
which she did Oliver. She was the youn-
eest child who had ever attempted this ex-
ceptionally difficult role, and il was her
excellent work in it which induced her ad-
mirers 10 make a star Of her. They be-
lieve too, that IL is about time for re-
vival Of "child" plays and that the craze
created by Little Lord Fauntleroy" was
due To the fact that the tbeater going pub
lie Is fond of seeing the little ones on the
stage.
Since leaving the May Prindle company
Little Irene has been with her father in
the vaudcvilles and is now busily engaged
In studying her part for next season at the
same time that she is acquiring an educa-
tion through the medium Of private in
structors. This plan will be followed aft
or she goes on tour, for her father declares
that nothing shall interfere with the edu-
cation Of his child. If Irene should sue
ceed in her venture, IL is likely that the
country will speedily be flooded with ju-
venile stars, just as it was a few years ago,

On q Modern Cattle Shin.

The staterooms on these big boats are
amidship and have ample accommoda-
tions for GO passengers. From the COM
mencement the experience was delight
full. 1t was almost impossible to be-
lieve, as far as the motion Of the vessel
was concerned, that we were on the
ocean. For instance, the rims on the
tables to catch overflowing coffee or to
stop the antics of fruits and foods were
missing. There was no need for them.
The explanation Of the remarkable
steadiness was in the fact that the ship
had bilge keels-two extra keels, like
fins, running along the sides and pre-
venting that rolling which is the de-
spair OF weak stomachs. This improve
ment represents the latest development
In steady transportation for animals,
and II the 500 quadrupeds we had on
board appreciated 1t as much as the 60
bipeds who gloried in the smoothness
and the comfort Of 1t all they lived II
of the happiest days Of their lives.
Other ships, still larger than this, are
now building.
The trip TO London takes II days, and
on the fifth day out / accepted the cap
tain's invitation to accompany him on
his morning inspection, although, for
that matter" he added, you may visit
any part Of the ship at any time you
choose" Directly after breakfast we
began the journey. There were nearly
900 cattle and 200 horses distributed on
the three decks. and up and down the
aisles between their protruding heads
we walked. 1t was a bit doubtful at
first. but the captain seemed to be on
friendly terms with his cargo, and there
was not the slightest danger. How are
you, old boy?' was his greeting as he
felt the ears Of the animals to see II any
OF them had fever. When the captain
was asked why he used the masculine
exclusively. he explained that the cattle
taken to England's markets are bull
locks. and II became clear why the off,
GERS at the table had smiled when the
ladies gravely discussed the advantage

The "Joys" Of Stage Life.

Jessie Bartlett Davis was talking to
bcvy of young girls about the loneliness OF
stage life. Very often women who ought
to know better" she said, ''rave to me
about the jolly companionship of the stage,
Of the immense fun and the never end
ing excitement that come to those who
take up acting as a profession. They do
not know Of the loneliness of it all, of the
narrow, encompassing line that imprisons
US and makes us beings apart from the
great body Of men and women, as far as
enjoyment and friendly companionship
are concerned. The footlights flicker, burn
low, burn high, yet we and our world stay
on one side and the easy going, theater
loving folks on the other. No Brahman-
like code Of caste is more rigorous than
are those little lights that fringe the stage.
They speak their edict TO us and tell us
that while there il another world beyond
our make believe one, with its powder and
paint, silks and rags, we must not relax
our efforts to enjoy it even temporarily or
our work will suffer. Jolly, IL it-jolly
to sit alone In ones dressing room when
not singing, TO go to ones hotel, to
sleep, TO work, rebearse and then sing
again? oh, yes, It Is jolly-jolly as poor
ST. Simeon was up on the pillar. We have
TO stimulate joy and sorrow, tears and
laughter 30 often that we never have time
to give our real emotions full sway. We
are often invited to dances, to teas, to re-
ceptions, which we may not attend and
yet mimic them, pretend 10 have them,
while the audience that sits in front says,
'Ah, how they seem to enjoy 1t allp Jolly?
Oh, yes The life Of an actress Is one
eternal round Of intoxicating pleasure"

STERIllZED MILK.
Recent Investigations Have Strengthened
the Arguments In It's Favor.

Recent Investigations Have Strengthened
the Arguments In It's Favor.
Although milk has so frequently been
held responsible for the dissemination
OF diphtherla, yet curiously but few ex-
act Investigations have been made on
the behavior OF diphtheria bacilli in
milk. Hesse found that cholera bacilli
underwent deterioration in raw milk;
that, In fact, when kept in these sur
roundingS at a temperature of 81 de-
grees &. (9S F), they were entirely de-
stroyed within % hours. Caro- Of Ma
Piles, on the other hand, working with
anthrax bacilli in raw milk, states that
these microbes flourish abundantly In
milk and abate no jot OF their virulence
under these conditions. Professor Schot-
telius has repeated these experiments
and has entirely confirmed them. He
has, however, extended his investiga-
tions to the behavior Of diphtneria ba-
cilli In milk.
In recent number Of The Central
blatt fur Bakteriologe. Part t. sum-
married. account is given of these re-
searches, and Ii appears that in fresh
milk diphtheria bacilli find an excep-
tionally satisfactory material for growth
and multiplication. In sterilzed milk
however their growth was not so abun-
dant and was less strongly marked than
in the ordinary broth used for cultiva-
ton purposes. AS the milk was only
sterilized for half an hour by means of
the ordinary Soxhlet apparatus this
difference in the vitality of the diphthe-
ria bacilli in the raw and heated milk,
respectively, could not have been due
to the milk having become acid through
heating. Hesse has shown that when
milk is subjected to prolonged steriliza-
ton at a high temperature 1t exhibits
an acid reaction. Professor Schottelius
concludes his paper with a warning,
now so often repeated. Of the danger at
tending the consumption of milk in it's
raw, unsterilized condition.-Nature.

They Got the Rell.

The trustees Of q church near Detroit
found II necessary to establish fund to
purchase q bell. The membership was
small. and composed principally Of per-
sons who were unable to do more In q
financial way than they had already
done toward building the church edifice.
Grocer Smith, one Of the trustees, be-
lieved II would be a good plan to solicit
contributions TO the $500 required among
the few well to do members OF the con-
gregation.
IF Deacon Brierly took a notion
said the grocer TO another trustee. he
is able 10 buy the bell. He won't,
though. because he's the closest man In
the village. I'm going TO him just the
same and do my best to make him see
his way clear to give us $780,
The first man the grocer solicited the
next day was Deacon Brierly. The
deacon was unusually grumpy that
morning and was nearly unnerved when
the grocer explained his mission.

but things are 50 close that I can't Dc

How much Will you give toward buy

LAvIGNE STILL CHAMpIoN
Connolly Is Decidedly Game But Eleven
Rounds Does Him

New York, May 1.-George Lavigne
of Saginaw, Mich, Is still the lightweight
champion of the world. Tonight in the
Broadway Athletic club before 5000
people. he met and defeated Ed Connolly
of st. John, n. b. Both men were weigh
ed in this afternoon below the stipulated
weight of l33 pounds, and they were
matched to box twenty-five rounds to de-
eide the worlds championship.
The battle was fas. and furious, but at
the end of the eleventh round Lavigre
had Connolly fought to a standstill, after
sending him down five times in success
sion with savage right swings on the
head and jaw.
Connolly had made host OF friends by
his gameness in getting to his feet in Z
couple of seconds each time, but those
efforts Were unavailing, and he staggered
into MS corner at the end of the eleventh
round hopelessly beaten Joe Choyr ski,
who was Connolly's principal handler,
cav that the fight was over 20 far as
the Canadian was concerned and would
not permit Connolly to subject himself to
any more punishment.
The closing round was wonderful ex-
hibtion OF nerve on the part Of Connolly.
Lavigne opened with left on w!rd and
swung a terrific left on mouth He fol-
lowed this up with a stiff right on ribs
and Connolly swung left on head. La
vlgne put another right on the ribs and
Connolly sent nothing back. Lavgne
rushed and Connolly met him with a
hard right on the ribs. Lavigne hooked
his righ. on the jaw and Connolly went
down.
Five times in succession Lavlgne sent
Connolly down with rights on the head,
and Connolly got gamey % his feet every
time in couple of seconds. The bell
clanged when he came up the last time
and he staggered TO his corner in a very
weak condition.

ming Of the twelfth rourd Connolly was
In such weak condition that his seconds
would not allow him to continue, and the

Rressive manufacturer building left hand
machines in three years.
The application of roller bearings to grain
cutting machinery was made by j. G. Perry
in 1869, and his patent, No. S6,5s4, for an
improved reaper, showed and described
various ways of using roller and ball bear.
ings in harvesters. In view of these facts
it is somewhat amusing to read the claims
of a certain reaper maker of the present
day. who says he was the first to introduce
roller bearings in harvesting machinery. As
a matter of fact this manufacturer is com.
paratvey a beginner in the art of reaper
building and has originated nothing.
