ANECDOTES OF MACREADY.

Mr.. Sala charged Macready with
having habitually used foul and bias
phemeous language behind the scenes.
An apologist hints that Mr.. Sala may
have been led astray by the fact that
in the last act of "Macbeth," Macready
invariably lashed himself into sort Of
fever, which he aggravated by using
all sorts of strong expressions. When
Mr.. Phelps played Macdutf to him for
the first time, he was not a little
amazed during the fight at the close OF
the last act to hear Macready call him
beast, scoundrel, 8 hell-born villain,
a base-born cur and devil. Full OF
resentment, Phelps hurled back the
epithets with energy, and heaped foul
names upon Macready. At the close
Macready said, "Thank you, Mr..
Phelps, thank you; I've never been so
we'll supported"
In another play, where it was neces-
sary to enter in painting fury, full OF
rage, exhibiting the gasping exhaus-
ton of mad passion, Macready used to
have hired "super" whom he would
grapple and shake and curse at, of
the stage, so that he could enter natu-

ALFRED B. SHEPPERsoN.
HOW TO BUY A HORSE.

Ii you want TO Duy morse, don'G
believe your own brother. Take no
mans word for it, says an old horse
man in Horseshoer's Journal. Your
eye is your market. Don't buy
horse in harness. Unhitch him, and
take everything off but the halter, and
lead him around. If he has any fail
ing you can see it. Let him 90 him
self way, and if he walks right into
anything you know he is blind. No
matter how clear and bright his eyes
are, he can't see any more than a bat.
Back him, too.
Some horses show their weaknesses
or tricks in that way, when they don't
in any other. But be as smart as you
can, you'll get caught sometimes.
Even the experts get stuck. A horse
may look ever so nice and 60 great
pace and vet have fits. There isn't a
man who can tell it until something
happens. Or he may have a weak
back. Give him the whip and off he
goes for mile or two, then all of q
sudden he stops on the road. After q
rest he starts again, but he soon stops
for good, and nothing but a derrick
can start him.
The weak points about horse can
better be discovered while standing
than while moving. If he is sound,
he will stand firmly and squarely on
his limbs without moving them, with
legs plumb and naturally poised or if
the foot is taken from the ground, and
the weight taken from it, disease may
be suspected, or, at least, tenderness,
which is the precursor of disease. If
horse stands with his feet spread
apart or straddles with his bind legs,
there is weakness in his loins and
the kidneys are disordered.
Heavy pulling bends the knees.
Blush, milky cast eyes in horses indi-
Gates moon blindness or something
else. A bad tempered one keeps his
ears thrown back, and stumbling
horse has blemished knees. When the
skin is rough and harsh and does not
move easily to the touch, the horse is
heavy eater and digestion bad.
Never buy horse whose breathing
organs are at all impaired. Place
your ear at the heart, and if wheez-
ing sound is heard it is an indication
of trouble.

rally. One night the regular "super"
sent a substitute who did not quite
understand the business. He resented
Macready's rough treatment, which
delighted the tragedian, who went at
his man with increased vigor. The
substitute presently "let him have it,
and the pair fought savagely good
round. Macready that night burst
upon his audience in a splendid rage,
out Macreadying Macready. When
the substitute learned the true state of
affairs, however, he bolted; but he
was unearthed, for Macready came of
after the first scene, gasping, "Hum,
ha! Where is he? Hum, ha, bless
me! A splendid fellow! Pay him
double and let me have him every
night"
