The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1901-01-31

Franklin Fyles, who is fitted by long
experience to write of the business OF
play-producing, has given the public
in q recent volume a large AMOUNT OF
interesting information as to little
known phases Of tho theater world.
1t is doubtless true that OF the many
millions of people who go to see plays
there are comparatively few who have
an adequate idea of the method by
which their amusement Is provided,
and Of the immense care and detail
involved in the work of preparing a
single evenings amusement. 1t is
also true, no doubt, that many OF them
have 4 keen interest in learning OF
the nature OF this work, and for such
readers Mr.. Fyles' book offers some
much-desired information. He tells
How Plays Are Written" How q
Theater Is Managed," How Plays Are
R~ehearsed," of The First Night Of q
Play and Behind the Scenes on a
Stage" and discusses many other
phases Of the business. always with
the knowledge and insight of n who
b himself familiar with the subject.
Theater-management, Mr.. Fyles makes
1t clear, like play-writing. IL . special
aptitude but peculiar training. 1t in
wolves q keen discrimination not only
~ to what Ia effective on the stage.
but a. to what kind OF performance
the audience is likely to regard as ef-
fective. The playwright and manager
must be critics and students Of audi
snces as well as critics and students
of plays. "A fiery speech may not
rouse the audience at all. A remark
meant to be comic may be regarded
as merely foolish. But some things not
counted or for much prove to be
worth a great deal" Moreover, the
behavior of audiences is not always the
anne. Lines and situations will vary
in effect from night to night in the
same theater, though given in precise
ly the same manner. A play may be
performed quietly In one place and re-
quire a louder and harsher delivery
In the next" In short, there are few
II any accidental successes on the
stage. Whatever succeeds is the re-
suit Of careful arrangement and of
an infinite expenditure of care as to
detail.
That part of the book which deals
with the traditions of the stage and
the routine of work and life behind
the curtain is of especial interest as
revealing the secrets Of world hedged
off from the nuhlic and ALWAYS the
subject of more or less curiosity on
the part of many theater-goers. The
devices used to create the illusion
which is indispensable in a success
full play are many and various, but
they have been worked out with math-
ematical precision. 1t is Mr.. Fyles'
opinion hat while many actors ac-
tually feel the emotions which they
portray, many others do not-an in

HORTICULTURE, Observations.

According to consular reports from
Germany the demand for American
dried apples, peaches and raspberries
is increasing. Consul General Mason
at Berlin says, however. that to hold
the market Americans must ship in
large quantities of these things at
moderate prices. That Is going to be
the trouble in the future as it has been
in the past-the selling OF our fruits
low enough to hold the foreign mar
kets. However, we have this to help
us-the Europeans are accustomed to
paying fairly high prices for their
fruit.

tural Society of Southern Illinois is to

At this time OF year, when So much
fruit is going into cold storage both
for long keeping and for transit, 1t is
necessary that much attention be
given to proper preparation of the
fruit. We are. as yet, only at the
Threshold of great things in this line.
As yet we know little of what certain
kinds of fruits will do under cold
storage conditions. II will ultimately
be found that different kinds of fruits
require different Temperatures to keep
them at the best. Packers Of fruits
for cold storage have been frequently
disappointed at the manner in which
their fruits came out of storage. when
the varieties have been other than the
long-keeping sorts. Now the differ

This is a favorite expression with
persons who have goods on hand that
they wish to sell to the public. But
their goods are not always good. Neith-
er have they a right at all times
to claim that they are mot In the
trust" AS a matter Of fact they gen.
orally are in the trust. Trusts know
the advantage Of advertising their
goods as mot in the trust" 1t helps
them to sell an inferior article that
they may pay dividends on watered
stock. The Defiance Starch company
has no false stock on which to pay
dividends. They simply manufacture
the best starch that is made anywhere
in the world, and sell 16 ounces for
ten cents. Ask your grocer for It.

The Absence Of 1t.

II there is any truth in the saying
that happiness Is the absence OF all

ment Of 1t can only be found In hea-
ven. But so far as the physical Is con-
cerned, it is within easy reach; at
least measurably so, as far as cure will

line is made up Of greater or less de-
grees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which affiict mankind
are easy to reach and as easily cured.
There are none in the whole category,
which, II taken in time, cannot be
cured. They must in some form af-
fiict the nerves, the bones, the muscles
and Joints Of the human body. They
are all more or less hurtful and waste
full to the system. st. Jacobs Oil is
made to cure them, to search out hid
den pain spots. and to cure promptly
in a true remedial and lasting way.
Very, very many have not known hap
piness for years till they used 1t, and
very many are putting off cure and
happiness because they don't use 1t.
