WHY ACTORS REMAIN YOUNG.
Their Lives, Though Hard and Irregular,
Are Never Monotonous.

Their Lives, Though Hard and Irregular,
Are Never Monotonous.
Z 1t is conceded that people Of the
stage have a happy knack Of keeping
young, says the Denver News. When
one thinks Of the hard work, the al
most constant travel, the late hours,
the irregular meals which are the por-
ton of these followers of Thespis, one
is amazed that their features are not
marked more by the worlds wear and
tear. And yet there are few really old
persons on the stage. One reason for
this lies in the fact that monotony has
no part in their lives. The actors
life yasy be hard, precarious, irregular,
but It is never monotonous. His life IS
full Of events and is an ever-changing
kaleidoscope of scenes and faces. He
may be found at good hotel living
like lord" or he may be in some
tight place" where he gets nothing to
eat. And so it goes. Tonight one sees
him sleeping on a superior hair mat
tress and wire springs. Tomorrow he
is lucky If he gets a bed at all. In
going from place to place he is bound
to make charming acquaintance. He
doesn't know everybody in town, like
an old resident; hasn't watched them
grow UP from infancy or grow old
from middle age. Actors prefer to be
happy. They never go out of their way
to hunt up worries. There is no other
business which can so effectually elbow
sorrow out Of the way. No matter
what load of sorrow he carries in his
heart, for few hours each day he is
permitted a respite, for in those few
hours he is somebody else. We are
so apt to think that late hours, mid
night suppers, irregular habits, change
of water and lack Of home comforts
add nails to their collins and make
people get these ideas in their heads
and talk about their beauty sleep"
one might think of the stage folks with
profit to himself and his friends. If we
wouldn't take it for granted that the
Creator intended us to grow wrinkled
and gray and ugly 1t would be better
for US. He certainly gave us a good,
fair start in the world. and we our
selves have done the rest" We grow
old simply because we allow ourselves
to fret and stew and worry over things
that cannot be helped-the most abso-
lutely asinine thing to do in this world.
We talk about our ages and observe
our birthdays and go around hunting
up gray hairs and talk about them.
and refuse to dance and rlae wheel
because our neighbors will accuse us Of
being giddy and trying to be young
again.

PRINCE OF WALES. rHEArER.
Oad-Time Fashionable London PIayhou
to BE DemoIished.

Oad-Time Fashionable London Playhouse
to BE DeuoIished.
The coming demolition of the old
Prince Of Wales theater, off Tottenham
Court road Qts proper address Is "a
Tottenham street,, may be mourned by
those who remember the days when 1t
was one Of the most fashionable and
crowded playhouses in London, but
the majority of the people will hear OF
its disappearance without pang OF
regret, says London Graphic. Even
in its palmy days, when the Bancrofts
had it in hand, the theater could never
lay claim to much external beauty, and
nowadays, with it's walls patchwork
of ugly posters, and its dirty and
squalid surroundings, it is really a
most deplorable looking object. As
playhouse it was closed decade or SO
ago, and since then it's only attempt at
notoriety was when the Salvation army
took it over for a time. Originally 1t
was the concert room Of Sig. F. Pas
quail; then the directors of the con-
certs of ancient music bought and en-
larged it and built magnificent royal
box for George III. and Queen Char
lotte. Next, it became the home OF
THE Picnics," body Of amateur play
ers, whose celebrity" writes Mr..
limbs, rendered them objects OF
alarm to the professional actors Of the
day and exposed them to the attacks
of the caricaturist Gilray." About
1907 it was transformed into a sort OF
circus, but it could never be compared
in this line with Astley's. Converted
into theater, it passed through many
hands and under almost as many IT,
ties. Among it's earlier names were
the Regency, the New theater, the
Theater of Varieties, the West London.
the Queens and the Fitzroy. 1t was
a dingy, dirty enough theater in those
days, so much so, indeed, that 1t was
popularity known as the dusthole."
When, however, the house was taken
over by Miss Marie Wilton (afterward
Mrs. Bancroft), who improved the con-
struction of the building and gave it
It's name as the Prince Of Wales, the
tide in its fortunes took decided turn
for the better and the days Of its pros
perity began. During the fifteen years
in which it was under the management
Of the Bancrofts it lived up to The best
traditions of the English stage anc
was associated with the names Of Fan
ny Brough, Madge Robertson Mrs
KendaD, John Hare, Charles Coghlan,
and good many others. When the
Bancrofts gave up the management the
house was taken over by Edgar Bruce,
but it was finally closed as theater
sixteen years ago. Its name, how
ever, has been handed down to what
was formerly the Princes theater, in
Coventry street west.

w. 81. Wheeler, who has devoted
many years to the study of such mat
tiers, says that in the Bay of Biscay,
frequently during the autumn and win
ter in calm weather, heavy sea gets
up and rolls in on the coast four and
twenty hours before the gale which
causes it arrives, and Of which it is the
prelude. In this case the wave-action.
generated on the other side Of the At
lantic by the wind, travels at a much
greater rate than that of the body OF
disturbed air, and this gives warning
OF the coming storm. Upon the great
lakes of North America fishermen and
boatmeA have learned to forecast
storms by observations Of the undula-
lions to which the water Of the lakes
are subject, and a direct inquiry into
the matter, by means Of self-recording
gauges to show the fluctuations of level
of the surface of the water, has now
proved that these undulatiops provide
earlier and more distinct indications
of approaching storms than are given
by the barometer.

Boston is again to the fore in philan-
thropic endeavor, and acting upon the
suggestion of Mayor Quincy, the public
lighthouses are to be metamorphosed
into laundries for the winter. The in
ception of this novel arrangement was
the placing of mangle in the Dover
street bath-house last summer, when it
was kept on the jump preparing clean
towels for the bathers at the rate of
10000 towels day. The details Of the
experiment are not yet fully decided
upon, but it is expected that laundry
work for merely nominal sum can be
done for the worthy poor at rate Of
100 families a day.

Horse with a Sombrero.

A good deal of amused comment has
been excited on the business end of
Tchoupitoulas street during the last
few days by the peculiar headgear
worn by big bay dray horse. 1t is an
extremely tall straw hat shaped some
thing like a Mexican sombrero with
couple Of holes in the brim for the
animals ears. The hat is rather rakish
and jaunty in appearance, and as the
horse happens to possess a peculiarly
sedate and solemn expression the COM
bination is enough to draw a grin from
a wooden Indian. One of the shippers
in the neighborhood declares that the
beast Is the living image Of an old sea
captain who used to be a popular char
acter on the street, and who wore just
such another queer hat winter and
summer. "They look so much alike,
he said the other day, that it wouldn't
surprise me in the least IL the horse
spoke to me any time it went BY" The
driver of the dray is a German and
proud Of the contrivance. He says the
crown contains sponge soaked in
vinegar.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

No Unsi1htIy Hafrpins.

An inventive genius has come to the
women's assistance with very ingeni-
GUS contrivance, and made it possible
for a woman to curl her naturally
straight locks and yet not be a guy
during the process. This is done by
the use of a set of hairpins and small
rods and bits Of baby ribbon of the hue
desired. The hair is wound in and out
on a hairpin and piece Of ribbon,
which has it's two ends left out. When
this is completed the ends of ribbon
are tied in a pretty little bow, the
hairpin slipped out, and there you are,
with your hair done up on ribbon.

HELD IN CHECK.

In 1888 man named Tappan moved
with his family from New York to the
remote west, said family consisting,
besides himself, of wife and six chill
dren. He had failed in business; was
broken in spirit; his children, he
thought, needed fresh air; so he accept
ed as a gift from his brother large
tract of land upon the edge Of the will
derness and settled thereon.
Soon enterprising people began to
settle beyond MIN, and there came to
be much travel past his door; and as
an act of humanity he frequently en-
tertained wayfarers. AS these calls
upon his hospitality became more and
more frequent he enlarged his house
and put up an innkeepers sign.
Not long after this a party of young
men, eight or ten in number, well
mounted, were returning by round
about way from an electioneering ex-
petition. Toward the middle of the
afternoon they refined up before Tap
pans door, pretty well under the in
and, having dismounted and secured
their horses. they entered the house
and noisily demanded whisky.
1t so happened that Mr.. Tappan and
his wife were both away, and only his
daughters were in charge; and it also
any liquors in the house. OF this fact
the visitors were informed by the ED
est daughter, a handsome, intelligent
girl of 18.
But the riotously inclined invaders
still demanded whisky, and when they
had become assured that they could
not have it they resolved that they
would cut down the sign before the
door, and the leader so informed the
young lady.
you must do as you please, gentle
men," she said, shrinking, while her
little sisters gathered around her for
protection, Il cannot prevent you"
Three or four of the party made a
rush for the woodpile, cursing as they
went, while the leader of the gang,
young man who would have been de-
cidedly handsome if he had been him
self, with others of his companions.
took a notion to overhaul the house.

clear, musical, and rich, and the ac-
compartment was played with skill
and grace. The little sisters gathered
in semicircle close around the in
strument, and the heretofore riotous
men-but riotous no more-drew near
er and nearer up on the outside.
Some of them had never heard a pi-
ano before, and not one Of them had
ever heard sweeter music. After
pause at the conclusion Of piece, the
leader spoke again, but in strangely
subdued tone:
Twill you sing for us another song"
And she played and sang "The Old
House."
Other songs were sung. Their SYM
pathies were aroused, their hearts OPP
ened, and the best part of their natures
brought to the surface, and when they
had taxed the fair songstress SO far
that they felt ashamed to tax her more,
they thanked her and withdrew with as
much decorum as might have been ex-
hibited had they been retiring from
before the throne of monarch.
A year after this event Mr.. Tappan
CHANGED to be in Jacksonville on bust
ness, where he was introduced to Phil

the place.

4 Japanese Invasion.

At one time Saturday night there
were about fifteen Japs inside the re-
ceiving office at the police station and
about forty more outside on the walk.
Nearly every man in the lot carried a
jag that would force the night bloom
ing odorless excaTator to change its
course. Two OF the Japs showed signs
OF an encounter Only one would ad-
nit that there had been trouble. He
pointed out the ether marked man as
having assaulted him. The pair were
charged with ARRAY. Eight Others were
held as witnesses. Each Jap smilingly
said he knew nothing of the affair, that
he was asleep at the time it started

alone in the murder of the woman. One
of the TWO prisoners held as witnesses
is known to the law officers as a bad
fellow, and if he did not assist in the
actual killing, is believed to have urged
it. There has been some slight corro-
