me reading one OF my own plays to my
OWE company explains Mr.. Mansfield
Once when he was ASKED to give an
expression of his best wishes to women
he framed it in these truly philosophic
words: 'The best wish that / can give
women is: Neither too much nor too little
love q"
On another occasion he was drilling a
super to rush on and cry: The enemy are
with u.s. The poor dulIard cried ii again
and again, but could not approach even
remotely to the ideal Of the actor. Finally
Mansfield rushed up and gave the line in
his own best style. THERE said he.
like thatl-' why, sir said the timid
supe, If / could do it like that | would
not be getting only s. q week. What.
replied Mansfield. DO you get only 50 4
week? At that price. my boy. say it any
way you chcoser
Mansfield began life as a painter. Most
of the scenery used in his plays is de-
signed by him, ,and only man who under
stands how to get effects and colors cou'd
make up as Mr.. Mansfield does for the
various parts that he assumes upon the
stage. An admirer once said to him; so
you used to live by painting?' NO re-
piled the actor, Il lived in spite of paint
ing"
Upon another occasion, when MIR.
Mansfield was playing in the West, a
ticket-taker stopped him at the entrance
TO the theatre, eXclaiming: Hold on,
there, Where is your ticket? Do you be-
long 10 this show?'' No. the show be
longs to me-, was the suaVe reply.
Mans field hired a private secretary n
few years ago, but was compelled to dis
charge bI5n because he could not spell and
was otherwise rather lame in the matter
OF education. When the young man had
received the notice Of his dismissal he
went to Iiic-actor and asked for an eN-
planaticn. THE fact is. he was told,
your education is too meagre fer the re
Quirements of the position Greatly c.
Tended, the ex-secretary exclaimed;
why. sir, my parents spent $3.50 on my
educationi" Then, my dear boy. said
the actor, I would advise them to insti-
tute proceedings for the recovery of the
money They were swindled
But Mansfield says smart things in a
serious way Not long ago he was asked
what was the best line OF procedure for
an actor. Tell your audience what you
are going to do" he replied, do it. and
thes tell them that you have done ii.
Here is the kernel of the diplomatic as

But the two most insignificant words IN

FIGUREHEADS OF SHIPS.
The Chinaman Paints an Eye On the
PrOvv of His Junk.
From Coed Words.

The Chinaman paints an eye on the PROV
Of his junk. This eye plays the part of the
lookout man: thus collisions are prevented
1t has been suggested that this Is the pri-
NAL form from which the European figure
head was evolved. John Chinaman does
not appear to have cultivated to any great
extent the taste for going down to the
sea in ships; that would account for the
elementary character Of the Chinese figure
head. The figurehead Of the New Zealand
er. on the other hand is most elaborate.
Capt. Cook found them already addicted
there were no lions in New Zealand at any
were copyists, and the original was fig
urehead from a wreck Of a sixteenth or
seventeenth century vessel At that time
almost all the European navies affected
lions head. Some of these old boats had q
hgurehead not only on the true PROV, but
second on the false or inner PROV. The
Sovereign Of the Seas, built for Charles J.
had on the true prov a figure of King Ed
gar on horseback; beneath the horses fee.
were the seven petty Saxon kings subject
to his sway. On the false PROV was a cupid
riding upon a lion. Haywood, who designed
the second figurehead, explains that 1t was
meant to symbolize the High Power
whose majesty is over all and rules all his
vessels the only part decorated. The parts
of the vessel known. as the cat heads
and the knight heads" derive their names
from the carvings of helmeted knights and
cats heads with which they were once
adorned.

WAYS OF THE EEL,
They Do Great Damage to Vessels'
Hulls and River Dams.


Hulls and River Dams.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
1.-The eel problem is no new thing" said
an old river man yesterday, land yet there
are some features of the question which
have been overlooked by the scientific
writer's who have discussed the matter.
For many years the eel has been a source
of great annoyance to men who have de-
pended on the old mill dam to turn the
wheels OF the mill machinery. Many dams
have been rendered absolutely useless by
these slippery pests, and SO far efforts to
exterminate or. control them in any way
have been unavailing. They are particu-
Iarly troublesome during the breeding sea-
son. when they travel toward the heads Of
streams, and 1t not infrequently happens
that in some way they burrow through
mill dams and finally destroy the utility
of the dam by giving the water a chance
to sift through the small openings they
make. But l have been able to observe
the eel in another capacity recently. He
is fond Of the hulls of steamboats, and
other water craft, and apparently the oily
member is never happier than when he gets
into quarters of this kind. Across the river
from New Orleans among the docks and
around some of the floating hullS that line
that side of the stream the eel is numerf-
cally very strong, and the negroes catch
a great many of them. They are very fond
of eels, and they regard an old steamboat
hull as an eel factory. These wriggling
creatures do great damage occasionally to
the hulls of boats, and leaks are sprung
earlier than they would be otherwise be-
cause Of the presence of these pests. But
there is one thing that has greatly puzzled
me. and this is the point Of this tale. and
that is how they manage to get into the
hulls of boats when they are kept tightly
closed and when there Is absolutely no
chance for them to slip In from the outside
Negroes have grown superstitious about
the matter. and while they continue to
feast on eels when they can catch them,
they look upon the eel In the closed huh
with certain amount of misgiving. and
they regard his presence there as a little
short of miraculous"

An extraordinary disease called "twisting
of the CUTS has an extraordinary remedy:
Many at the point of death have been
cured by taking, ounce by ounce one, two
or three pounds of quicksilver"
After again recommending his collection
of receipts, Mr. Wesley forcibIy adds:
But still advise. in complicated cases.
let every one apply without delay to a
physician that fears God For from one
who does not, be his fame ever so great, I
should expect curse rather than bless
