We hear great deal of cant talked
by those who insist that the ideal stage
setting should be a green baize, whose
decoration should consist of placards in
scribed, "This is street, - ''This is a
house, ''N''This is heaven. - In all this
there seems to me something of affecta-
ton. If Shakespeare s poetry could be
better or more reverently illustrated by
such means, 1 would say, 'Take away
those baubles of scenery, of costume and
of archaeological accessories " It was all
very well for David Garrick to appear
in a powdered tie wig, Georgian coat
and silk stockings when he was imper-
sonating the Thane of Cawdor, but he
created the effect (Which undoubtedly
he did create) not by virtue of the in
correctness of his costume, but in spite
of it. The greater knowledge of historic
al periods possessed by our theater goers
of today, the increased sense of humor,
the demand for luxury, require general
and detailed illusion in the appoint
ments of the stage, and to deny it to
theater goers is to be affectedly superior
to ones age and belated in the move
ments Of the time. Every artist uses the
material which his generation places at
his disposal. If the painter lacked paint
and canvas, he would content himself
with the flagstone and piece of chalk;
if the musician lacked Stradivarius,
he would still be returning to the old
tooth comb. But why complain Of the
canvas, and the paint, and the Stradi-
variusS The increase Of picturesqueness
in all the arts, the complete revolution
in taste as regards house decoration, the
greater cultivation Of the eye-an these
have tended to what has been contemp-
tuously called the millinery of the
drama. -Beerbohm Tree in North Amer

ticed caterpillar crawling along at a
rapid pace, followed by 100 or more
small ants. Being quicker in their
movements than the worm, the ants
would catch up with the caterpillar, and
one would mount his back and bite him.
Pausing for an instant, the caterpillar
would turn his head and catch the ant
in such way as to kill it almost in
stantly. This slaughter of their fellows
did not seem to have any effect upon the
attacking hordes, the place Of the dead
warrior being presently filed by another
hero willing to sacrifice his life After
Strengthening a dozen OF more Of his tor
mentors the worm began to show signs
of fatigue, whereupon the ants made a
combined attack At this the worm
sought safety by climbing stalk of
grass, going up tail first and defending
himself with his head and strong jaws
Seeing themselves outdone on that score
the ants set to work and soon felled the
stalk with their mandibles When this
was done, they all pounced upon the
helpless worm and made short work Of

1t impressed itself ineffaceably ON
young Wilson'S mind because it seemed
wonderful, even revolutionary, to see a
young lad such as Cadet Grant looked,
ordering the pompous old officers about.
He looked very young, very slender
and very pale.
HE was dressed in long blue coat,
with big epaulets and big brass buttons,
and his trousers seemed to be white,
though they may have been light gray.
He wore a cap and a red sash around his
waist, and he rode his horse in fine style.

voice-that is, his way of using it. The
old men barked out their commands.

YOUNG MEMS POPULARITY.

Availability, Kindliness, Manliness, Integ-
rity, Are Its Foundation.
To the query, Are young men who
cannot, from religious convictions, play
cards. dance or attend the theater apt
to be popular with young women of re-
finement and education who indulge in
such amusements? Edward W. Box, in
Problems For Young Men" in The
Ladies' Home Journal, responds:
why, certainly. Why not? The
amusements in which a man INDUCES
have nothing to do with his outward
attractiveness or popularity. It is the
way in which young man carries him
self in his department that makes or
mars his popularity with girls or men.
One of the most popular and delightful
fellows know in New York has never
been inside of theater, although he is
50 years Of age. Nor has he ever danced
or played cards. He was a personal
friend for ten years before l knew that
his religious principles precluded his in
diligence in these amusements His Sc
cret is that he does not carry his convic-
tions ON his sleeve for everybody to rub
against. And Of his popularity with
women, young and mature, can assure
you absolutely. He reads about the new
plays and can, therefore, talk about
them if they come up in conversation.
If asked if he has seen certain actor
or play, he merely replies in the mega
tive. Never does he force his convic-
tions upon others. A young mans pop
ularity with either sex rests upon some
thing more than his forms of amuse-
ment. Availability of manner, kindli-
ness, pleasant address, a manly out
look on life, honorable principles-all
these go far toward insuring popular

M'CLELLAN'S WARHORSE.
Something About Dan, the Only Charger

Something About Dan, the Only Charger
the General Rode.
General McClellan's favorite war
horse. usually called Dan, was a dark
bay, about II hands high, we'll bred,
with good action and never showing
signs Of fatigue, no matter how long
the course. He was an extremely hand
some, snowy animal, with more than
ordinary horse sense. Dan was very
fast walker-an important requisite In a
commanders charger-but a disagree
able accomplishment SO far as his staff
were concerned, as their horses in gen.
eral were kept on slow trot.
After the war Dan became the family
horse at General McClellan's country
home in Orange, and seemed to be proud
of his position, performing his duties
well and easily. On one occasion, when
driven to neighboring estate by two
ladies of the generals family, and left
united, as usual, at the door, Dan came
to the conclusion that they had remained
long enough for an afternoon call, so,
declining to waste any more time there,
he trotted back to his stable, carefully
turning out to pass carriages and other
vehicles met on the way home. Dan
died and was buried in Orange
The general said Of him: dan was
one of those horses that could trot all
day long at very rapid gait, which
kept all other horses at a gallop. He
earned from the aids the title of that
devil Dana name that he justified on
many long and desperate ride before /
gave up the command of the Army Of
the Potomac. Dan was the best horse
ever had. He was never i'll for an hour,
never fatigued, never disturbed under
fire. The dear old fellow survived the
war for many years, dying at a rire old
age in 1879. No matter how long we
might be parted-once for nearly four
years-he always recognized me the mo-
ment we met again and in his own way
showed his pleasure at seeing me. Even
ON the day of his death, which was a
painless one, he still attempted to rise
and greet me, but, unable to do so, he
would lean his head against me and lick
my hand No soldier ever had more
faithful horse than / had in Daniel

THE SERENE GODDESS.

She walks in sealike calm imperious tides
That stir lifo's shadows cannot stir the deeps
Whose air she breathes; she neither laughs
nor weeps;
But, through Gods world, where her white
soul abides,
She filings a song that on the stiffness rides
Like murmuring light, and he who vigil keeps,
Watching the beauty that to cheer us glides
Out of the silence while the black earth sleeps
Doth love her as she sings, for in that strain
She makes the two diviner natures one
And lifts them both beneath one crown to
reign;
The proud radiance of woman, who hath
smiled
To see her bidding by her lover done,
She marries to the meekness Of a child.
