gesture, every facial play she makes while on the stage"
 This is ,Signora Duse's third visit to the United States, which country welcomes with great pleasure and appreciation this very gifted artist. She is appearing in three tragedies, works of her fellow-countryu Ga briellc d'Annunzio. The plays are Francesca da Rimini," La Citta 1forta," and ..La Giaconda." For the last two years the newspapers havs been busy coupling the names of Duse and d'Annunzio, and it is re- ported that the great actress, who is also reported to have a horror of publicity being given her private af- fairs, was so overwhelmed at the credence bestowed on these stories all over America that she almost de- cided to dispense with an American tour. St any rate, her visit is made year later. than oria1nally planned.

LUNACY AMONG NEGROES.

The following figures for Alabama, which are taken from the reports of the insane hospital, will be found inter esting. Tn 1870 there were B colored inmates; in 1880, 71; in 1890, 254 and In 1900 there were 451 colored patients in that institution.
 Why is there so much greater rela- tive increase of insanity among negroes than among whites? The increase in population applies to each race, so that it cannot be accounted for in that way, and the only explanation is to be found in the changes in the habits of the ne- groes. In 1870 they had changed but little from the simple diet and habits of their slavery days. As slaves their food was plain and wholesome. They had little opportunity for dissipation, and but rarely drank liquor of any kind Then. too,, they were kept ait work, so that their minds and hearts were not all the time on idle pleasures. The sci entists may tell us just how changed industrial conditions act on the mental ity of human beings, but the change from life of sober, quiet industry, plain food and drin and regular habits must be the explanation of the great increase in insanity, as shown by the records Montgomery Advertiser.

life had looked upon women as noth- ing but mere playthings, in the world to minister to mans qualification and passing whim. At the moment the man becomes for the first time in his life in earnest, the woman re- veals to him that he has been noth- ing to her but a plaything.
 Mrs.. Campbell's other roles have, almost without exception, I believe, been those of ladies either with pasts behind them or unsavory presents along with them. Mrs. Campbell, as rule, has gathered about her large these unlovely i.males, and just ex- actly what those large audiences came out for to see I do not know The papers speak at length of Mrs. Campbell's remarkable gowns, but we have always thought them of especial renarkableness only because of what was left off the waists and what was put on to the trains. Many people speak gushingly of Mrs. Campbell''s fine acting, but it has seemed to Us to be largely an unconscionable lot of eloeuting and an unconscionable lot of rolling of large orbs. For our part we like naturalness rather than clothes and theatricality.
 Our American actress, Mrs. Fiskc, in the naturalness of her methods, is compared to Madame Duse. Mrs. Fiske is preeminentIy one not given to ggeration and artificial ity. and therefore her work is go convincing. We do not consider the role in which this eminent lady is now appearing so well suited to her as several in which she has given us delight, but she can never be other than interesting.
 As Becky Sharp we thought her wonderful and as Tess she added thick laurels to the wreath she wears so gracefully. As Mary of Magdala, her this seasons character her work is refined and beautiful, but we are not altogether enamored of the play Mary. of Magdala,' the creation of Paul Heyse, the noted German novel; ist and dramatist, is considered q wonderful retelling of an old story. and many cultured theatergoers have approved highly of Mrs. Fiske's pro duction of the drama. We do. not quarrel with Mrs. FislSe's 'interpreta- tion of the heroine; we repeat she has appeared in roles much better suited to her personality.

ble. Hollow trees are favorite resorts for coons while they are being chased, and the local people captured one in this way. The dog located the animal in this hollow trunk. and labored for come time before it caught the coon's hind leg. But when the dog attempt- ed to get it out it got tangled up with itself and lost it's hold. allowing the coon another short lease of life. The only thing to be, done then was to sit down and wait for the animal to make it's own exit from the hollow. Bur lington Vt Free Press.

The stor1es are to the effect that Madame Duse was making herself conspicuous by showering upon d'An- nunzio an affection that he was con- spicuously weary of. It was also re- peated that the signora was so heart broken over d'Annunzio's cruel cold ness she had decided there was no spirit left in her to continue her work before the public; and that, in the very height of her success, she was contemplating retirement. We'll, either reconcilement has been eff fected, or else the stories were pal pably false; here Madame Duse is with us, acting in d'Annunzio's plays, her fire undiminished, her art better than ever. ~-:
 Though virtually born to the stage, Eleanora Duse has had to fight her way to her present exalted position. Her face, which, while beautiful, is very sad, seems to us to hint of the weary struggle that had to be gone through with before her superiority won general recognition.
 Her father, like her grandfather,
 
 erabIe reput ation, was not financial ly successful. At the age of 12, in or der to help in getting the daily bread for the family, the little girl was put on the stage. From the first know l irg one here and there judged her the possessor of unusual talents and prophesied great things for her. For several years she labored away in the lesser theaters, but at the age of 1G enjoyed decided piece of success; as Juliet winning applause from . large Florentine audience, and, from that on her fame grew rapidlSNa consistently.
 Although noted for lack of rant i ing in the rendition of the tragic roles she portrays, Signora Duse has the true southerner's power of emo tional expression. Love and despair are expressed with an eloquence at once thrilling and under control, and the spell the tragedienne casts re- mains long with those that have had the rare delight of listening to her beautiful voice and observing her marvellous and exquisite art.
 With sigh we turn from the con sideration of her work to that of an other foreign lady engaged this year in an American invasion" Mrs. Pat rick Campbell. Mrs. Campbell sought our shores and sheckels last season also. She seems a bit milder than Il twelvemonth ago, not quite so given to the exploiting of doubtful plays. Tn fact her Aunt Jennie" of this sea- son may be termed innocuous; a man need not blush to sit beside his wife or sister while the play progresses before him. Instead of the usual sort of thing with a lot of viciousness gilded over to make it at all accept able before decent folk, we have a really clever and clean little bit of society life to study. And we have moral quite obvious; not the accus- toned success of the real villain and the overburdening of the weak wom- an Aunt Jennie'' deals with a man with past instead of the woman with the past; and contrary to gen. era1 custom, the man reaps the wild oats of his sowing.

men Who Die for others.


 Tn China it is nothing out of the way For criminal under sentence of death to secure, at a price, a substitute to die for him at the hands of the execu- tioner. A remarkable case of substi- tuition is reported from Foo-Chow. When a certain childless criminal thero was adjudged to death his family met to see what should be done. The su- perstition of the land ran counter to a man dying without leaving son, at least, to worship him after death. The criminal had brother who had so many sons that he had no fear of being left without worshipers. The family decided to put him in as sub stitute for the childless one, so that the latter could live on to get son. The military mandarin concerned was bought over, the criminal was set free and his guiltless brother's head was cut off.-London Chronicle.
