LITTLE ROSE CRAIG.
ElIeR Terry l. Bringing Up Her
GraRdehiId 20 be the Actress
Of the Future.

Miss Ellen Terry, who is nov Playing
in this country with Sir Henry Irving.
Is trying an Interesting experiment, II
Is her theory that a girl can be so edu-
Gated that she cannot fail 10 succeed
as an actress; that il q parent viii be-
gin 70 teach his boy 10 act al the very
moment when be first initiates him
into the mysteries Of the alphabet he
cannot fail to win fame and fortune on
the stage.
In other words, while she does not
entirely disregard the old theory that
men and women are born players just
as they are born poets, she is Of the
opinion that early training is even more
important, and she is now engaged in
making a practical application OF her
theory.
No one who has seen Miss Ellen Terry
play the youthful Clarisse de Maulueon
would ever imagine that she was a
grandmother, and yet such is the fact.
Moreover. unlike many actresses Miss
Terry is not ashamed Of her age. She
is proud OF the fact that she has been
able TO defy the ravages of the years
so WELL and she openly boasts Of the
little grandchild who is 10 be the great
sactress 10 whom the world viii pay its
honors when she. the Grandmother,
shall have ceased to play her parts.
The narle o. the little child who is
being educated up to this ideal is Rose
Marie Craig, and she is the daughter
OF Miss Terry's son, Gordon. At pres
ent little Miss Craig is but four years
of age. but in spite of his, her training
has already commenced.
When she still lay in her cradle her
charming young grandmother dedi'
cated her life to the stage, and her fa'
ther and mother are anXiously assist.
ing Miss Terry in carrying out the eX.
pertinent. They have full confidence in
her theory. They believe that she can
DO what she says she will do. and that
their little girl will yet be the greatest
actress the world has ever seen.
TO begin with, the child shall be so
educated that sh, will have no self.
consciousness. To Miss Terry's mind
this is the grayest of all faults, and is
fatal to the success of man or woman
on the stage. Already she is learning
TO have confidence in herself, and on
her seventh birthday she will make hel
bow to the public.
Miss Terry believes that the period
of se,f-consciousness begins soon after

Great attention should be paid to
keeping the nails brushed at least twice
a day, not with a stiff brush, but with a
soft one, preferably a camel's hair
brush, and the skin around the lower
part should be kept down by rubbing
with a soft towel. In this way the
moons" are exposed, and these are in
dicatiye both of health and beauty. The
habit of running pointed instrument
around the nail under the flesh is not to
be advised, as it makes the skin tender
and, if the material of the instrument
is cheap metal, sometimes brings on
blood poison. The sides of the nails
need clipping about once during the
week. If they become stained wash
them well with pure soap, and after
rinsing off the soap brush them with
lemon Juice.

A ChlId's sleeping Hours.

The baby should be taught to sleep
at regular hours. At first he will
sleep most Of the time not occupied
in feeding. At the age of six the child
should sleep 10 or 12 hours at night
and two hours during the day. Be-
tween these ages the amount of sleep
should gradually diminish. The meth
cd of training babies to sleep is sim
pie: Be sure that they are COM
Portable as to eXternals, and are well,
then leave them alone in a properly
guarded crib. After several months
kumorirg it may be dangerous TO
leave child alone, as the little tyrant
may work himself into such a rage as
, to have commissions or to do himself
physical injury, but the young infant
may be trusted to 'cry it out" in
safety, and after the first disappoint-
ment is over he will be happier and
more contented to take the ups and
downs of life uncomplainingly.-Dr

A Mississippi farmer while in Mem.
phis recently entered a well-known
cafe and ordered a sirloin steak. A
bottle of tabasco sauce was on the
table, and, mistaking it for catsup. he
spread it quite lavishly on the steak
and settled down to enjoy the meal.
He cut off a big piece, sopped it
around in the tabasco and stuck it in
to his mouth. Then he began to feel
as if his tongue was on fire. He
twisted and turned, and soon had the
eyes of everyone in the dining hal
fastened on him. The more he twist
ed his face the hotter the steak in his
mouth got. He could stand it no
longer, and, reaching up his hand, he
jerked out the burning bite, threw it
on the floor and exclaimed: Now,
confound you, blazel"

a person has attained this age, and she
proposes that her grandchild shall be-
come used to seeing vast audiences be-
fore she has become old enough to be
tainted with this one grave fault.
She herself appeared upon the stage
when she was eight years of age, and
that, she believes, is the reason why
sh has never realized that a crowd of
people had their eyes fixed upon her.
AS it is, she never sees an audience, and
the vast sea of faces that so terrifies
many players has no effect upon her.
Little Miss Craig is to be given the
same advantage.
The next two years of the child's life
will be spent in the theater. As often
as possible she will be upon the stage
during the progress of the plays. AT
first she will be given no lines, but she
will have her place and she will be ex-
pected to fill it creditably. She will
also be permitted to play about in the
wings. She will become well acquainted
with the uses of scenery and drops.
She will learn all about wigs and paints.
Costumes will become an old story to
her.
During this time no one will be al
lowed TO flatter her. Judicious praise
may be given, but little of it, and she
will be taught to believe that the only
way to do a thing is to do it well.
While she is undergoing this training,
however, her physical training will not
be neglected. She will have plenty of
fresh country air. She will play in
the fields. She will wear loose clothing.
Everything will be done to make her
perfect specimen of healthy woman
hood. Whether she is at home or on
the stage, she will be surrounded by
the best of people only.
When little Miss Craig is nine years
of age attention will be paid to her or
dinary education. She will learn to
read the best books. She will be taught
to see tie beauty in blank verse. She
vi study the dR matists. She will be-
cUne familiar with the people and Gus
toms of all ages. She will learn to
play upon musical instruments, to
sing. but above all, she will be taught to
observe people. When all this has been
accomplished she will be ready to go
back to the stage.-Chicago Democrat.

RIGHT AND WRONG POSITIONS.

made in several pieces, CT be made up Of
spiral springs, SO that all parts are in
dependent of one another, and the
springs at the center are stronger than
those at the head and foot, because they
have more weight to support. In this
way it becomes possible for the tired
man or woman to obtain the greatest
possible amount of benefit from the
hours devoted TO sleep. If they will
use a moderately hard mattress, Of
cotton or hair, never Of feathers, and
not too high pillow. seeing that when
they are in bed the body is not curled
mp in a knot by the poor springs and
that the feet and back are in almost a
straight line. the repose gained while
lying either on the right or left side
will prove refreshing and healthful,-

CHILDREN AND THEIR STUDIES
Five Hours Brnin work, the MAXI
mum; Two Hours Play, the
Minimum.

The examining system and its ac-
companying evils are national crime

child under Is years of age should
be given any home study whatever by
his teachers. lie should have not more
than from one hour to four of school.
ing each day, the hours increasing
with his years. Outside of school
hours he should have at least thred
hours Of play. After IS the brain has
another period of rapid development,
with special increase of the higher
faculties. Four hours of schooling
then. is not too much, provided the
child's physical being is capable of it.
and in time an hour of isolated study
may be added. But that is enough
Five hours of brain work a day is the
most that we should ask of our chill
dren, and the child should pass at
least two hours day in the open air
Our boys and girls do not get enough
fresh air and sunshine into theiI
bodies and natures. The higher insti.
tutions of learning understand the
need of physical development for
brain growth far better than do our
lesser schools and our homes-sad as
it is to admit it.-Edward w. Box, in

of Colby, and the negative by A. Ia.

Bryan Club. No judges were. appointed,
because of the nature of the question.
The political spirit Of Colby is quite in

to outdo the other. Last Monday evening
the Republicans had q flag raising at
7.s0, with a speech by Mayor Philbrook
OF Waterville, after which Governor
Powers addressed the students body In

students were concerned. The senior
ladies received the senior men at the
Palmer house; the junior women enter

and the sophomore ladies entertained the
freshmen ladies at the Dunn house.
Each of the pariors was decorated in the
different ella SIS colors, and games appro-
pirate to Halloween were enjoyed.
Neither party broke up until after mid
night and 1t is hard to learn which party
was the most enjoyable.
