Keeping Butter.

Good butter will keep sweet for many
weeks when 1t is placed In a crock
after being made into rolls wrapped
In strong cheesecloth or old muslin
and then covered with brine strong
enough to bear up an egg Saltpeter

while the brine is still hot in the pro-

ACTING EXPOSED,
The Art of Seeming to Do Things as

1hC ATI 10 10 Things aH
They Are Done In Real Life.
The art of acting is the art of seeming
to move, speak and appear on the stage
as the character assumed moves, speaks
and appears in real life under the cir
cumstances indicated in the play.
In that word seeming" lie nearly all
the difficulties, the intricacies, the tech
nicalitics of acting. The writer Is assum-
ing no special nor superior wisdom as an
expert" for every actor, from the great
est of them down to the second month
student, knows that the definition we had
first agreed on is inaccurate. Move,
speak and appear as the character does?
Real life? One might as well say that
painters art is to use graystone to rep
resent an old church in Rome instead Of
mere pigments mixed with oil. The paint
er appeals to the eye by artificial. not by
natural, means. So, the actors art is to
make the people in an audience. some of
them 100 feet or more away, think that
he is moving, speaking and appearing like
the character assumed, and in nine cases
out of ten the only way to make them
think this is to be not doing it; to be do
ing something else-something that you
would never dream of unless you were
weary experience without teacher.
Nothing can be conceived more abso-
lutely unlike delicate, beautiful and re-
fined woman in drawing room than the
painted young creature, with dark shad-
ows about her eyes and fragrant carmine
on her lips and cheeks, who looks, to her
companion on the stage. like a gaudly
painted wooden doll. She speaks TO him
contidentially, three feet away, so that
every man in the back row of the audi
torium can hear what she says; moving
her features in the coquettish byplay If
timid love with the well defined and pos
tive motions of jumping jack pulled by
a string. If the most graceful and deli
cate of our actresses should carry the
technical methods of the stage to an aft
ernoon reception, she would be Il cul iosity
and "holy error."-Ccntury Magazine.

An American art student in Paris
says: "Ihere are more wrecks of young
lives and young ambitions in Montmartre
than in any other quarter of the globe.
Fellows who fancy they are destined to
become great artists have the illusion
knocked ont of them, but they refuse to
leave. They are there from all parts of
the world, stranded, hopeless beggars,
living no one knows how and stunning
their fellow men.
Zone case in particular caught my at
tention-that of an Englishman named
Jones, let us say. His father is an evan
geiiSt who came over to America several
years ago. This fellow poses as mis-
anthrope of the most pronounced type.
He associates with nobody. and his only
companion is little black dog. He will
live for days on bread and milk in ordcr
that he may buy meat for his dog. One
night | was with crowd of other stu
dents, and we passed him in the street.
He turned, glared at us and Kissed: Il

down on the curb, with his dog in his
arms, and hurled his face in it's shaggy
coat!'-New York Tribune.

SHE TALKED TO BABY.
But the Music Reached the Spot at
Which She Aimed.

The genuinely tactful married woman
of the present day doesn't portray her
husbands shortcomings to him in a d.
rect manner. She tells it all to the baby
when he is sitting in the same room. The
way this scheme works was illustrated
in a happy little $3.50 per month home
on Capitol hill the other evening. The
man and his wife had had few words.
He was sitting by the front window,
reading the paper. and she was goo-goo-
ing to the baby in her lap.
Yes" she crooncd to the baby, cts
father is u nasty, ill tempered brute, isn't
he, tum-tums, and he's always snarling
and growing around the house, isn't he,
mammals itty oOpsy-woOpsyT
Then she glanced at husband and IA
Their out of the corner of her eye in order
to ascertain if she had succeeded in get
ting q rise out of him. He only cracked
the paper nervously, however, and went
on reading.
"And he's getting to be as stingy as
miser, too, isn't he, mammals oybsy-boy-
bsy?' she went on, dandling the baby up
and down. And he makes a big row
over every penny | spend in the house,
doesn't he, mammals pet, and he knows
lIil L We llllup over the uIeSScS 1lIu
when 1 married him over and over again
until they're nothing but ragses, doesn't
he, mammals itty tipsy-wipsy?"
Again she glanced over at him to see
if she had him going, but he went right
on reading the same line for the seventy
fourth time, when she resumed:
"And he dresses himself like a nabob,
doesn't he, momma's oobSy-woobsy, and
he's never at home, and he spends more
money on drink and cigars than he lets
me have for weeks grocery bills, and
goodness gracious only knows what
keeps him out until about 2 O'Clock in the
morning three nights in the week, and he
treats bahys itty ganmother like Il
brute, and he never has Il civil word for
anybody, and he is beginning to drink
like fish and to neglect and hate his
family. isn't he, mammals topsy-wopsy"
Say" broke in the husband and IA
Their at this point, throwing down his pa
per, that's a burned pretty way for you
to talk to me. isn't it,"
She looked up at him with an express
sion of intense surprise.
Il haven't said word to you," she
said in a wrongfully accused tone. 81
was only talking to baby l suppose you
will permit me to talk to my own baby,
won't you?"
Why, of course Il woman has n right to
talk to her own baby. hasn't she? This
system of hammeriug him on his weak
spots. involving, as it does, much less
danger of fierce and noisy come back
than if he is addressed in direct fashion,
is worthy of the highest recommendation.

. These are days of records and of the beat

quickness of action and thoroughness of

Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than euer. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. 1t marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quichly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.

When l retired from detective work
after an experience of 16 years. the
public press and my many friends were
pleased to say that l had done excel

was deserved, but at the same time, in
one case at least, had shown stu
pidity worthy of the grcenest patrol
man on London's police force. l had
been at Scotland Yard for three years
when l removed my family to Queen
street. 1t was to an apartment house,
and we took the second floor. On the
floor above was married couple man,
ed Hadan. The man, as l came to I'M
derstand, was manufacturing jeweler
in q small way. The Hadans lived
very quietly and made no display. and
the wife kept very much to herself.
Not as q detective. but as an occupant,
l learned that the husband was home
only two nights per week-that is, he
came home at 6 O'Clock on two even
ings out of the seven, remained over
night and to breakfast and was seen
no more for five days. This had been
the programme for a year before l
came to the house, and was not bit
curious over it.

His Idea of Recreation.

A well known novelist who was stay
ing in a small Yorkshire village in order
to make study of native character hap
pened to meet one of the two postnCn of
the district. Now, this postman has to
walk close upon 20 miles every day, his
round being through one of the most dis
NAL parts of the county.
In answer to inquiries he told the nov
elist that he had delivered the letters on
the same round for so years, excepting a
fortnight's holiday each year.
'Ah," said the novelist, seeking for in
formation. what change it must be for
you after your tedious task! No doubt
you run up to London or pay short visit

he did successfully for six or seven

During his career he had made for

He divided his time between them,
