MACREADY ON THE STAGE,
The Tragedian Was Not a Pleasant
Man to Act With.

Man to Act With.
Macready was a dreadful man to act
with. You had the pleasant sensation
of knowing that you were doing moth
ing that he wanted you to do, though
following strictly his instructions. He
would press you down with his hand
on your head and tell you in an under
tone to stand up. Mr.. Macready was
terribly nervous actor. Any little
thing which happened unexpectedly ir-
ritated him beyond endurance.
One night at the Park Macbeth"
fashioned actress, dressed Lady Mac
beth in the manner which prevailed
In her early life, in black velvet, point
lace and pearl beads. In the murder
scene part of his dress caught on the
tassels of her pearl girdle. The string
broke, the beads fell to the floor softly
with pretty rhythmic sound, distinct
ly heard through the intense silence
Of the scene.
This so exasperated Mr.. Macready
that he was almost frantic, until, with
the final lines of the scene, "Wake,
Duncan with the knocking, oh! Would
thou couldst," he threw Mrs. Sloman
off the stage, with words which l hope
were unheard hy the public and were
certainly unfit for publication.-"Auto-

Making Ducks Lay black Eggs.

According to a writer in a French
scientific paper, ducks fed on acorns.
which they will eat ravenously, not
unfrequently lay black eggs. The rea-
son Is that their eggshcll is naturally
rich in iron, and this combines with
the tannin in the acorn to produce q
good, fast black. The same paper
states that If fowls are fed on boiled
lobster shells they will lay bright red
eggs.

Gains IL lbs. on Change of Food.

When a change in food can rebuild a
man n years of age, it is evidence that
there is some value in. knowledge that
can discriminate in the selection of
proper food to rebuild the body. A few
months ago the physician attending
Warren S. Johnson, of Colfax, Cal, n
years old, told him that death from old
age would soon claim him. He suffered
from general weakness and debility.
An old lady advised him to quit coffee
and to eat Grape Nuts breakfast food
every morning. He took the advice and
has gained 12 pounds. says he is as
trips in the mountains, which he has
been unable to do for long time.
There is a reason for this: i'm the first
stroyer on many highly organized peo-
pie, both young and old, and many
people haven't the knowledge to select
nourishing, hcalthful, rebuilding food.
Roth Postum Food Coffee and Grape
Nuts breakfast food are made from Sc
ected parts OF the field grains that
contain delicate particles of phosphate
OF potash and albumen. These two ele-
ments combine in the human body to
quickly rebuild the gray matter in the

from their use and can be proven by
