an actress-a true actress, I
mean--is born, not made. Why?
Because the chief qualities
which she must possess are born with
her; she must have health, strength, a
good physique, brains, aptitude, imagi-
nation, memory and judgment. These
aside from a generous share of instinct
i've talent and a goodly quantity of
that indescribable and indefinable
something which we call magnetism.
Some of these essentials any girl will
at once perceive are not to be cultivat-
ed. Therefore is the true actress born
and not made. I have not placed per-
sonal beauty in the category of essen
tials, because it Is not an essential, but
an indisputed aid. l say this because
one need only to go over the list OF the
greatest actresses to see at once that
they were not and are not all beautiful
women. Genius always rises above per-
sonal beauty, but 1t must be true
genius. And as there Is so little of ab-
solute genius in the world, an attract
i've face becomes an assistance to the
actress.
In an educational way an actress can
scarcely have too thorough, too broad
or too complete a training. An intel
ligent actress, one who loves her art, Is
never through studying and developing.
Therefore she must have good mental
basis to begin with, and with 1t a de-
sire to learn and constantly learn as
she progresses. To be more explicit,
the very least she can do with is the
best of common school educations, and
with this a knowledge of languages
French at least. She must have an
aptness for music, as she is liable at
any time to be called upon in some part
to play or sing. Fencing and dancing
add to her grace, but these may be ac-
quired and used as demanded.
And, not least of ALL the voice of the
girl who aspires to become an actress
must not only be carefully trained, but
it's use must be understood. A voice
that is naturally soft, full and SYM
pathetic has a charm all its own, but
much can be, accomplished by knowl-
edge of it's use, and very little, even
with the sweetest voice, if there is no
knowledge used in It's handling. Like
wise must there be this knowledge to
avoid an abuse of the voice. There
fore the mere possession Of a good
voice is not by any means all and the
chief requisite.
But granted all the necessary quail
fications and some to, spare, 1t is grow
ing more and more difficult for young
woman to get upon the legitimate stage
almost impossible to obtain small
part at the very beginning. The dra-
matte schools are frequently a great
help. They teach defamation. dramat-
ic department and many necessary
things, and often are able to place their
graduates In small parts in companies
Performances are given by the students
during the school year to which dra-
matte managers are invited To a
young woman who cannot afford the
time or money TO attend the school a

inent person known to the manager of

MokiDg Pearls.

IT various times attempts have been
n made to manufacture genuine dia
u monds and other precious stones, but
L \ the cost of manufacture has in each
case proved so great that up to the pres
ent time no such diamonds have been
placed on the market. This statement, Of
course, does not apply to the manufacture
of artificial precious stones, which seems
to be thriving at present, judging from a
recent cable dispatch to the New York
Herald which told how artificial diamonds
and rubies are being manufactured in
Europe.
The point of interest just now is the fact
that a method of manufacturing genuine
pearls at trifiing cost has just been dis
covered. Manufacture, however, is hardly
the right word, for it is nature herself
which does almost the whole business. a
natural pearl we know, is formed through
the intrusion of a foreign body into the
shell of a musSel.
The sea mussel is popularity supposed to
have monopoly of this business, but this
is an error. a certain species of river mus
sells, technically known as Margartana
margariutera, also produces beautiful
pearls.
The attention of French naturalist NJ
Boutan, professor at the Sorbonne, was
recently drawn to this fact and he at once
conceived the idea of producing pearls by
means OF these river mussels. His 1rs5
step was to prepare sort of oyster bed
for the propagation of the mussels, after
which he began to aid nature in her work
OF making pearls. In each shell he bored
a very small hole, and through it he intro
duced a tiny bit of mother-of-pearl into
the body of the fish.
His work was now complete, and all ne
had to do was to wait until nature had
completed the process. That he will in
time reap a rich harvest seems to be the
general opinion among naturalists. By the
way this method of manufacturing pears
is not new, as the Chinese are said %
have practiced it for centuries.

west who are heroines not because they
have won success in new and extraordi
nary fields of labor or have overcome tre-
mendous odds in the struggle for fnan-
cial reward. The daily experiences of
very many women in their frontier
homes are good reason for putting them
on the roll of honor. The people in the
upper Gila Valley, in Pinal County, have
never ceased telling of a deed of rare
bravery done by Mrs. Victor Daniels
some twenty-five miles southwest of
Florence in the summer of 1888. The
Danielses came from New Jersey and set
tied on a cattle ranch, fifteen miles from
the nearest neighbor. Mrs. Daniels was
born and reared in Brooklyn and soon
adapted herself in her new home to the
strange environment. Her husband had
with great difficulty and constant
watchfulness got together a bunch Of
cows, about fifty in all, and was endeav-
oring to start little herd. Mrs. Daniels
had the herding of them, as well as the
care of the house. One day, when her
husband had gone twenty miles to the
store she was compelled to leave the
cattle grazing, while she looked after a

THROWS DOWN THE BARS.

McKinley's administration is one OF
spells. Civil and military appoint
ments once conducted on the merit sys-
tenn have been thrown open to favor
ties and heelers regardless of fitness.
This has been done to the injury and
disgrace of the army and in abroga-
ton of civil service laws. 1t began
with the installation of boodlers into
cabinet positions and in the various
bureaus at Washington. 1t has con-
tinued all along the line.
The president has just made a whole
sale slaughter of officials for sake of
pets. He took 1900 offices from the
civil service list this week and there
are more to follow. So long as COM
petitive examinations were required it
was impossible TO provide the numer-
Gus parasites of the party in power
with places. They couldn't pass the
examinations. And while experience
and ability counted it was hard to get
rid of the incumbents. They were able
to pass.
But Mr.. Mckinley has done away
with such requirements. What does
fitness amount to in the discharge of
public business? The president has
friends and Hanna has followers who
want these places, or rather, who want
the salaries that go with them. This
executive order will furnish openings
for 1900 of them. If the clamor con-
tinueS his excellency will let down the
bars for another herd.
What with Hanna living in the White
House, Alger at the head Of the army,
Eagan on full pay, beef contractors in
favor, Miles and Schley under the ban
of Algerism, and Brother Abner pro-
noting government schemes this ad-
ministration proves to be veritable
school for scandal.

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
Absolution In the Field.
q. w. CIarkson. in Donahoe's Magazil

q. w. Clarkson, in Donahoe's Magazine)
The recent death in the University of
Notre Dame, of Father Corby. one of the
chaplains of the brigade. recalls an incl
dent in that terrible death struggle which
for real grandeur and sublimity stands
unparalleled in the annals of the entire
conflict. Just as the brigade was about
TO march to the support of Meade's lire
in what has been well called the bloody
wheat field" Father Corby climbed a
rock in front of the soldiers and be-
sought them to do their duty to God and
their country as Christian warriors who
hoped for heaven and therefore dared not
falter in presence of death. Hardly had
their chaplain ceased when every one of
these young Irishmen was ON his knees
on the earth that shook with the war
of artillery. Then Father Corby raised
his hand. and, in a voice that could be
heard above the thunders of the cannon.
uttered the words of the general absolu-
ton: .'Dominus, noster Jesus Christus vos
absolvat." He was heard with all the
hopefulness. devotion and joy which are
the fruits of a perfect faith in the I'm
seen. and that hallowed rite gave new
intensity to their patriotism and fresh
energy to their courage, for 1t recalled to
their minds at that awful moment the
glorious faith for which so many of their
fathers had shed their blood: it braced
their faith in themselves and rendered
them invincible. Never had General
Hancock and his brilliant staff, who sat
their horses close by and gaZed reverently
on the scene, witnessed anything Of such
thrilling interest. 1t might form the
subject of a great historical painting.

WORKING FOR A PRINCIPLE.

The Sacramento Bee pays the local
Republican organ a high compliment
for leading the silver Republicans of
Utah three years ago, but expresses
surprise that, from its tone, it seems to
nave been working for reward. For the
Bee made a hard fight in California
without reward, without hope OF re-
ward, without desire for reward, sole
ly in the line of what it believed to
people"
1t says of it's own course and its in
centives:
Had success come. and the laurels been
distributed everywhere else, this paper
would not have complained. No laurel
would it have accepted, save the gratitude
of the masses for whom ii fought. 1t did
not enter the contest to grasp any
laurel, save that of victory for a princi-
pie.
We fear that is something our neigh
Dor cannot comprehend, judging from
its daily plants, and suspect that the
Bee comes nearer the mark when it
says:
OF is well known that the eloquent and
erudite editor Of the Tribune, Judge
Charles Z. Goodwin, would have been
delighted in the soul of him to have been
chosen United States senator from the
virgin state of Utah. And who shall
blame him for that honorable ambition,
Can it be that the iron has entered his
soul? Far be it from us TO so insinuate.
These few remarks from our Sacra-
mento contemporary were called out, it
explains, because the Salt Lake Trib-
une seems to criticise the Bee because
the latter has remained steadfast to
the silver cause, while the former has
left the principle behind as among those
things which have been but are no
more"

CIRCUS DAY.

eff heaven was represented as big
circus remarks a philosopher, more
people would try to get there
And so long as men are men, and
women are women, and so long as they
can find excuses in children who can't
help themselves, they will continue to
drag the little fellows along the streets
at a gait they never struck before, and
carry struggling S-year-olds into the
big tent as infants in arms.
On occasions like this the axiom is
exemplifled that the child is father of
the man." And on circus days the man
is in no mood to deny it. Not only is
the hereditary prediction for ele-
plants and bareback girls predomi-
nant, but in the very eagerness and
interest shown, the man shows strik-
ing resemblance to the child, his faith
er. And a man who never loses an OPP
portunity during the rest of the year
TO rule with the iron hand of domes-
tic tyrant, becomes docile and tractible
when the circus band begins to play.
and even suggests to the children what
they shall command him to do that day
for their entertainment.
Once in awhile you see an old man
shake his head and hear him say,
"Circuses are not what they used to
be when 1 was a boy" But they are.
The same girls, the same wagons, the
same clown-jokes, and the same fat
ladies and snakes. And whether they
are better or worse, these old pessi-
mists never say, but when the per-
Torrance begins, it is dollars to dough-
nuts they are somewhere in the audi
ence. more delighted, more interested
in pink tights, and more eager to see
what is coming next than when they
were boys.
There is a democracy in such show
1t attracts people Of every age, every
class. every walk in life, every grade
of intelligence. Women never get too
old. and girls are never too young to
go. Aristocracy lays aside its reserve
and poverty pawns its furniture, when
the circus comes to. town. People
jostle each other as the parade passes,
and race like mad when the hour of
performance draws near. And those
who claim to care nothing for such
things make a mistake. for no one be-
neVes them.

first he only fidgeted little and made one

thing extra diabolical, his lordship broke
out with: Il really think, sir, you are

DECEPTION EXPOSED.

A Republican contemporary which,
with infinite egotism, has posed as a
silver Sir Oracle these many years, de-
nying that any enc else ever said any
thing worth remembering, has dis
mounted from its hobby and clambered
into the Hanna bandwagon. This was
not unexpected. If it ever did any
thing for silver but abuse oddities and
call men names who differed from it,
the instance is not recorded. But hav-
ing discovered that the name-calling
crowd is on the single standard side, 1t
seeks that more congenial company
where is may raise it's voice in unison
with the newspapers it used to say were
subsidized, and refer to men who, inv a
less pretentious way, still hope to do
the cause of independent bimetallism
some good, as anarchists and social
lists" That is an old cry. The air was
full of it three years ago. Our neigh
Dor is three years in joining in. That
is all.
But this contemporary, this ex-cham-
pion of silver, that used to do the
.loudmouthed vociferation" act when
goIdbug abuse became unbearable and
retaliation in kind seemed excusable,
has been diligently searching for pre-
text by which to join the crowd it once
abused. To this end it has hidden be-
hind Senators Teller and Dubois, mag
nifying sights they needed not, point
ing to scars they noticed not, telling
its own sad tale of woe in the names of
these gentlemen and trying to make the
world believe that they were for silver
only to gain some personal reward.

little after 4 o'clock and the cars were

painful limp came in with the crowd at
the Fifteenth street transfer station, and
stood clinging to a strap just in front of
Senator Cullom. The senator loked up
and, seeing the weary face, instantly rose
and offered his seat. The man demurred.

The man sank into tine seat, and the tall
1llinoisan contented himself with the
strap. From beneath great poppy-laden
hat the bright eyes of a little girl near
whom he Stood peered up at him eagerly.
AT last he looked down and saw her.
Won't you take my seat?" she said, po-
litely.
The senator smiled down at her and
shook his head.

mustn't ever give up your seat to a man.

And he stood till he left the car.

the balance of the week Delegates
from all the western states, many from
the counties and a number represent

tendance. Questions of vital import
ance to the section will be discussed,
and some of the brightest men in the
west will be present to take part in
the deliberations.
Two years ago the congress met in
this city, and among those in attend

growing out of the war and national
legislation, and it viii be of interest to
watch the resolutions adopted at the
close of the session for these reasons.
