P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23d. says: I'VE all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see a doctor, for it was a case of
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, utthanks to Chamber

Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact,
sincerely believe that at one critical
time this medicine was the indirect
savior of our army, for if the pack
ers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting
supplies to the front. There were
no roads that wag IN train could
use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply
of this medicine for our pack-train
before we left Tampa, and know IN
four cases it absolutely saved life"

TRICKS OF The DRAMA.

of the Stage Whisper.
It is an indisputable necessity Of
the acted drama that the performers
shall so pitch their voices as to be
heard all over the house and that
they shall so place themselves on
the stage as to keep their faces visi-
BILE from all parts of the theater.
These are both deviations from or
binary usage, since common sense
tells us that a man does not discuss
his private affairs in tones to be
heard by thousand people, and the
doctrine of probabilities assures as
that only a quarter of the time
would a couple face toward any
given point of the compass.
Even when two characters alone
on the stage whisper together, not
to be overheard by other characters
they can but pretend to lower their
voices, since what they say must be
audible to the audience, or else why
say iti Many a critic, accustomed
to blank verse and to the absence of
the fourth wall of a room and to
hundred other conventions he blind
ly accepts, unconscious that they,
too, are out of nature, has refused
to legitimate the stage whisper,
| the aside" and the "soliloQuy,
holding them to he little too tia-
grantly unreal. 1t is not to be denied
that the aside and the soliloquy are
labor saving devices, which some
dramatists have worked hard. The
easy convenience of soliloquy, by
means of which tortuous character
can undeceive the audience while
taking in the other persOnaees of
the play, has been too tempting to
many a playwright. The conscien
tious dramatist has tended of late to
get along without the aside and the
soliloquy. The younger Dumas and
Ibsen and Mr.. William Gillette Cn
Secret Service') have proved that
it is perfectly possible to eschew
them both. Here the later play

Moliere made US perceive Tartuffe' s

speare had allowed Iago to unbosom
himself freely to the audience in the
intervals of his hideous machina-
tions. After all, what is the con-
