why Actors Look Young.

The ever youthful appearance Of the
members Of the dramatic profession is q
constant source of surprise to the public
at large. Visitors 10 the Lyceum, for
instance, can be heard every night COM
menting on the wonderfully preserved
youth Of Miss Ellen Terry. who. al
though she ONE years ago passed that
memorable Landmark in q woman's life
Of 40 years. might still be mistaken for
a girl in the early twcnties.
The same observation is made night
after night at most of the other theaters,
while such heroes Of melodrama az Mr..
William Terriss, who. Oh the stage. is
dashing youth Of perhaps five and TWEEN
ty, is in private life a middle aged man
nearing the milestone of so.
The reason for this is not SO much the
paint necessary 10 be used in making up
which obliterates, to q certain extent,
the natural wrinkles Of the skin, while
it l%ubricates and nourishes it-but it il
due TO the change i'll the expression of
the various emotions which every part
demands. This causes the actor to bring
into constant play all the muscles Of his
face. By using them equally they all
maintain their firm consistence and
strength. and none wastes away from
disuse. The result is that the skin is
kept stretched and tense over the face
and does not fall into hollows.
The youthful appearance is, therefore,
maintained off the stage. even though
the actors hair change from the youth
full tint TO gray, as is fast becoming the
case with Mr.. Terriss. This is the reason
Why such men rs tho late Charles Mat
thews, who did not put on flesh as he
grew old, but retained his slim figure,
are able to continue im~personating
youthful characters until they havo out
lived the allotted period assigned to
man BY the psalmist. Strand Magazine.

ON THE DEATH or AN INFANT.

Alas, the child is deadi
Oh, sorrow for the downy head
That nsed to keep his mothers arm
And bosom warm,
And now the chilling earth instead
Must hide, for he is dead.
Mourn, mothers, We who know how sweet
They were, the blossom colored feet
That in our dusty pathways yet
No print had set,
So that the world viii scarcely mark
Their little track into the dark.
Only for one the baby feet
Have left earth incomplete.
When last shc wept-how many years
Ago it seems.-he dried her tears
With wandering touches velvet sleek
Upon her check.
Now on his fragile breast she bows
And holds him fast, while he nor fears
Nor wonders at her tears.
Ye mothers, let her not alone
Mako on this little Dust her moan.
Be neal with looks of love and touch
Not overnuch
Her qnirerins grief with words, BUT weni
With her today, made moro than friend
By ancient mysteries Of earth.
By solemn pings Of death and birth.
Made consecratc, apart unknown
Save unto you alone.

In the book entitled. Choral Music in

THE singing societies of Germany, by
their diffusion of knowledge concerning
the masterpieces of choral composition,
and their nurture of warm interest in
music. were, beyond question, the most
potent of the factors employed in the
work of lifting that country 10 the emil
fence which it now occupies in music
Among musicians who, from careful
study Of this subject. are familiar with
the influence of large choruses on the
musical advancement of communities thls
statement is a truism.

of her Oratorio Society, who, in its first

THE SEEBGCK RECITAL
Which Is to BE Given at the Opera House
Friday Evening.

Musical Wheeling, Thanks to its sew
erdl organizations. prominent among which
are the Oratorio Society, Woman's Musi-
cal Club, Philharmonic Quartette, AriOn
Society and the opera House Orchestra,
supplemented by the Carreno and Jonas
concerts, has enjoyed an exceptional sea-
sor Of good music, which has been highly
appreciated. as is evinced by its liberal
patronage bestowed on these numerous
attractions. Few have excited more in
terest and pleasurable anticipation than
the concert to be given at the Opera
House. Friday evening, May 18th, 10y MIR.
W. T.. c. Seeboeck.
Born in Vienna. Austria of musical par
cnts, Mr. Seeboeck, AS mere boy, de-
voIoped exceptional talent for music. His
studies on the piano were begun under Leo
Grill and continued under such masters
as Epstein. Hermann Gardener and Ruben
stein: while in harmony and composition
his instructors were Nottebohm and
Brahms. whose style and teachings are
reflected to an unusual extent in the eN-
ouisite daintinoss and harmony which
characterize all of Mr.. SeebCecks playing,
as well as his numerous compositions. We
can best describe the exceptional beauty
and charm of Mr.. Sceboeck's style by
quoting the following recent mention in
the Chicago Daily News:
"As a pianist Mr. Seeboeck unites dainti-
ness. breadth and power to a degree Who'll
~ unusual His natural gift as player
and as composer, is as dainty as that Of "a
girl. In his charming little pieces, the
cleverost tricks of counterpart and other
occult sciences occur as casually and as
swcetly as the chemistry and coloraton
of roses. lilies and violets. Nothing comes
by labor with him. Like Topsy, his pieces
seem TO have 'growed.' All this will IL
ustrate over and over again last night in
his sorgs and piano pieces. Dainty and
altogether charming, also, was his work
in ,he List and Chopin pieces. of which
the great a fat polonaise was the most
sonorous number
In Chicago. where Mr.. Seeboeck has
made his home since coming 10 America,

foremost musical colleges and organiza-
tious of that city and is az present In

admirers in this city during the past sea-

ing an evening which cannot but be en-
loved by all lovers Of good music, arts
