STAGE Heroes Are Scarce.

1.-The making of actresses is easier
than the making of actors" writes
Franklin Fyles of The Theatre and
Its People" in the December Ladies'
Home Journal. The young women
are by nature more apt and pliable.
Their faces are most mobile, their
manners more graceful, their habits
of speech and bearing more variable.
When the roundup of talent comes
and the the graduates are turned out
for the professional service there are
half a dozen proficient actresses to
every actor of equal ability. This is
shown at the matinee trial perform
ances, in which the female roles are
generally well played, while the male
ones are not. If promising actresses
are more numerous, six to one. than
actors, the same ratio operates in
favor of young men in getting work.
A good-looking fellow finds himself in
no such glutted market as discour-
ages his sister aspirant. II he is clev-
er he will readily get an opening, even
though he is ugly. The masculine
roles in plays predominant largely.
OF comely intelligent and tolerable
facile actresses ths supply is far in
excess of the demand. Heroes are
scarce. Heroines are plenty"

ENcIRcLED BY A "LlvE" WIRE.
Cieverness With Which the Victim
Walked Out of the Loop.

Il witnessed a really astonishing
exhibition of GOODNESS and presence OF
mind this afternoon" said New Or
leans insurance man a few days ago.
Some workmen were removing an
overhead wire on upper Prytanian
street, when one end of it broke loose
and dropped down to the pavement.
1t doubled into a sort of loop as 1t
fell. and. by singular chance. 1t COM
pletely encircled a young man who
was passing, without, however, touch
ing him anywhere.
Some people were standing in a
nearby doorway, and Immediately
yelled Live wire!" Nine men out of
ten would have lost their heads COM
pletely under such circumstances. but
this young man was as calm as sum-
mer's morning. The wire was wrig-
Cling all around him like an immense
snake, and threatened every moment
to strike him on the legs, but he made
no effort to jump. On the contrary,
he stood perfectly still, putting away
at a cigar he had been smoking as he
came along. Presently, when he saw
an opportunity, he sauntered quietly
out of the open end of the loop, as un-
concerned. to all appearances, as a
man walking out of a drawing room.
Il was on the opposite side Of the
street at the time the thing occurred,
and | must confess 1t made my hair
brlstle on my head. l ran across and
could not help remarking to the young
man that l admired his pluck. He
laughed. oh. that's all on the sur
facet he said. I'm dripping with
sweat and am reslly scared half to
death / would like to round of this
story by saying that the wire was
carrying enough current to kill an ele-
plant, but the truth Is that 1t was not
connected at the time and was as
harmless as a piece of clothes line.
Still. that was something nobody
knew for half an hour, and l insist
that it has no bearing on the real
merits of the case."-N. o. Times

WORKERS AMONG coTToNsEED.
New Machine Which Is Designed to
Monopolized Their Business.

An always interesting sight to New
Orleans visitors has been the large
gangs of darkies unloading cotton
seed from the barges at the oil mills,
pillng the sacks of seed on the heavy
trucks and trundling them down the
wharf into the mill. singing Justify the
while. The picturesque side OF the
old-time method OF unloading seed by
no means appeals to the owners OF the
mills. however. Such labor Is very
expensive, and sometimes impossible
10 obtain. Competition in the manu-
facture of cottonseed products Is very
keen, and unnecessary handling or
the raw material must be done away
with wherever practicable. The big
grain elevators, built right up to the
deep water, have long ago solved the
problem, but with the oil mills at
Gretna, built back of the levee, with
their wharves stretching considera-
BILE distance into the river. and with
these wharves sinking and twisting all
the time from the action of the cur
rent and the treacherous river bed,
the question how to unload their
barge and carry the seed back into the
mills at low cost has been until now
a very difficult one to answer.
The Union Mill Company has re-
Gently installed at its large Crescent
mill at Gretna plant for rapidly and
economically unloading seed from
barges, which seems to meet all the
conditions. The main part of the sys-
tenn is belt conveyor. running on
trestle work along the wharf. and
thence under the roof of the mill.
Along this conveyor the seed is car
ried from the end of the wharf, $50
feet to q point In the mill. where 1t is
weighed and either stored or distrib-
uted direct to the crushers. From the
time 1t is taken from the barges until
II leaves the mill as finished product
the seed is not touched by hand
The present capacity of the plant is
about 400 bushels (seventy tons) Of
cottonseed per hour. but this can be
largely increased. 1t is estimated that
the construction will pay for itself in
wages saved in less than two seasons.

one woman, who all her life has
searched beneath her bed before re-

possession OF a folding monstrosity,
the intricacies of which she had first

After pulling down the bed she would
