hence than his wife were substituted. as
the loving women in the fullness of her
| affection was not only willing but anxious
to bestow everything upon him. Al re-
| hearsals his Importance was recognized;
in the front Of the house his interference
was tolerated But Mrs Taber had reck-
oned without the public. In her almost
idolatrous admiration of him it seemed
certain TO her that Jheatergoers would az
once discover the lovable qualities 80 plain
in her eyes.
But failure after failure followed. The
receipts of Mr. and Mrs. Tabor dwindled
to such an extent that managers lessened
the high percentages that Miss MarloWe
formerly had received. Frank Howe, man
ager of the Walnut Street Theater, Phila-
delphia, brought an unsuccessful suit TO
recover money lost by his being Obliged TO
bill the organization under the new title,
when he contracted for the old. The loss
of money did not worry Mrs Taber. But
when 1t came to her ears that Taber
family and friends believed that she was
hampering his artistic career she WINGED
as though cut with a knife.
When he in the pettishness OF failure.
attributed their lack Of success to her in
ability TO act, she answered-so an init
mate friend says:
Robert, may not be a great artistic,
but before our marriage there was some
thing about me that the public liked l
do not presume 10 say what it was, but
they came to see me"
II the reported conversation is true prob
ably the wedge entered then. The wife
never complained. In public no change IN
the ideal affection exhibited by the pair in
their honeymoon was noticeable. and while
the dramatic critics were the first to dis
Germ a difference, their blindness to any
thing outside the narrow bit in which their
thoughts moved would seem remarkable.
MRS. Taber has made a great advance
in her art" wrote one in a Boston pub
LEGATION. Her pathos rings true as bell,
and she now possesses the soft and APP
pealing note of suffering womanhood.
Now she is the woman"
In the same season Taber's art was COM
pared TO a rapier, keen, incisive, glitter
ing but cold and merciless."
Men of prominence in theatrical affairs
say that no pressure was brought to bear
to separate the couple, but it is a fact that
Taber announced his intention of jour
neying to London for an indefinite stay,
which he followed up with a departure
and subsequent engagement in the Lyce-
UNI Theater in Sir Henry IrVins's COM
pany.
Mrs. Taber, then restored, by the public
at least, to the position and title of Julia
Aarowe, Travelled and achieved success.
Unwilingly she has acquired the only
qualification needed to be a great actress,
but at the cost of a broken heart.

A large proportion of the people who use

and they have to constantly change the
focus OF the eyes from the keyboard of the
machine TO the manuscript. They have
some defect of the eyes which they have
not discovered, and IN using the typewriter
the additional labor of focusing the eyes
calls the muscles into undue use and the
result is trouble caused primarily by the
defect which has always been in the eye,
but IL is necessary now to have the focus
aided artifcially and the people who use
the typewriter put on glasses.
For the people who compose on the ma
chine the typewriter is a great help. I
have a clergyman among my patients who
was not able to write a letter or a line OF
his sermons after having serious trouble
with his eyes, but by taking up the type
writer he was able to do both with ease,
and ! recall several cases of that kind.
Indirectly the easy position of the body
which is taken in using the typewriter,
which makes the work less tiresome, is
benefit to the eyes. The benefit of the ma
chine to the competitors and those who
read manuscript cannot be over-estlmat-

Every MAN His own Doctor.
From the New York PICS.

The vast increase in the number and va
riety of patent medicines mas had the ef-
feet of making nearly every man his own
doctor. FIFTEEN years ago we spoke of the
proprietary articles as mos runs and
were inclined TO be shy Of them. Physicians
prescribing them were regarded as quacks
The family doctor turned up his nose ut
their mere men ton, and would sooner
have abandoned his practice altogether
than recommend or suggest the use of one
for the simplest ailment. Go into the
household to-day. See the private apoth-
ecary shop of the housewife. IL used to
be filled In. the old days, when we were
squills, quluine by the ounce bottle, tine
ture of laudanum, camphor, eau de CO.
logne, mustard iniment, honey and vine
gar court plaster, saccharated calomel,
tartar emetic, magnesia, Dover's powders,
etc. To-day all is changed.
The family doctor taught us the correct
employment of his harmless materia med
lea We have educated ourselves up 10
the popular habit of self-doctoring. We
have acquired the patent-medicne craze,
which is a fin de steele malady that is ut
terly incuratAe except by death, We not
only prescribe for ourselves, but for all
the rest of the world, and the rest of the
world prescribes for us. We resort TO
brofniue bromides and bromos with as
much satisfaction as a sick dog does 10
grass. II we drink too literally we take
a dose Of acid phosphate; If we awake
with head we take aromatic spirits OF
ammonia, or large spoonful Of settler
aperient Il our eyes water we take ca
thartic pill or two, some blumas or Fra
zer's tablets; IL we have an ache nothing
Is like an application OF witch hazel; II the
stomach is deranged what so good as pep
sin? II nervous what do we do but load
up on chloral or sulphonal? II an ordinary
headache do we not eat quantities OF phen-
acetine? If the throat Is raw we gargle
with Uterine: If dying Of a cola we take
antikamia: II we eat too much there are
after-dlnner pills which produce immediate
comfort
