Dramatic DictiOn.
Boston TranScr

Boston Transcript.
Miss Julia Marlowe is a sensible young
woman to study French acting and find out
how much more effective artistic modera-
ton is in a player. than the roaring en-
phatic style into which American actors
nave insensibly drifted since ali profession
ais are stars" and dramatic traditions
are only shifted at by stage managers.
Stock companies went out, and then slip
shod. unpublished diction came in, together
with other faults appealing to the gallery.
AS all things pass away eventually, the
painstaking art of the French stage may
also depart some day, but at present it is
the one straw TO which lovers of the drama
and its interpreters can cling. The tendency
of our favOrite actors to-day is to coarsen
and overdo. Hackett and Faversham are
conspicuous examples of this disregard of
an art that depicts life as it really is, with
out eXaggeratiOn, on the stage, and the
means by which this effect is produced is
the great secret which should be diligently
sought by every manager with produc-
tions" and popular stars upon his hands.

addition he enjoyed the luxury of one

bles. which he cultivated himself. This is
a little better than AlcOtt's list, but few
would select il as a model. Both are too
extreme. Yet there is no doubt but that
we eat more than is good for us or nature
requires, and perhaps a diet of rye meal
and water, occasionally, would be a good
thing to rest overworked organs and give
them a chance to recuperate and renovate
themselves. L. N, NJ. ID.

SanctOriO SanctOrO, His Curious The

AS. in all things that nave their merits.
there is a tendency 10 go TO extremes in
the matter of diet. Men aspire to attain
good health, longevity, and perhaps i'm
mOrs atty, by living by rule. Lacking scales,
people are told the size Of a piece of bread
or meat in inches, equivalent to a fOrmu-
latec quantity by weight, and are told that
by eating the specified number of cubic
inches Of bread, meat or vegetables they
will be insured as TO their health or will
recover it If il is in a declining condition.
Thus people may be said to live by inches.
Extremists in the matter of diet not only
live by rule. but almost by scale. Those
who can afford it have weights and bal
ances in their rooms and keep tabs on their
weight as feverishly as the Spectator in
stocks and bonds watches the quotation
board or the ticker. Neither is this a new
fad. The most ultra dietist can never hope

John the Third received a Collegiate Ed

learned that his Ancestors had fought with

MOSQUITOES. He had his Clothes made In

of the word. After building a House that
cost ever so much, he spent most Of his
time at the Waldorf-Astoria. The reason
was that the Family could not find suitable
Society in Johnville. And where they went
they did not find anything else.
The ordinary Plugs had to put on Smoked
Glasses when they locke at the members
of the John Family. Any one in Johnville
who was invited to Dine at the Big House
was given such a Lift that he didn't touch
anything but the High Spots for a week
afterward.
One Day a Stranger in town saw all the
People falling off the Side walk and grovel-

"Why does every one Kow-Tow to the
