AMERICAN GIRL ON STAGE.

Ellen Terry Says She Is Too Inn
patient for Fame.
The menace to an American actress
future is often her haste to achieve
distinction. You cannot force the
growth of great talent. You may aid it,
encourage it, nourish it, if you will, but
you cannot successfully force it. If
forced, it will lose it's soundness and
sweetness, just as does dollhouse fruit
l repeat the growth of art is slow, and
it Is still.
1t is not remarkable, however, that
an American woman, brought up in a
world Of haste, where events, from
those of the household to those of the
national capital and of the great trade
centers, move with incredible swift
ness, applies the methods of her own
training to her special art
This temptation is, perhaps, nowhere
else so strong as upon the stage. To
enter any other profession a woman
has, perforce, to go through careful
training, often years of training. To
be an artist, a musician, or a sculptor
she must have instruction and long
practice before she thinks of submit
ting her work for public approval, but
the woman who wishes to be an actress
feels a great inner conviction that she
is born so, and that sentiment arranges
the matter to her own evident satisfac-
ton. Thenceforth, all she longs for is
opportunity.
Chance may discover an actress, as it
may crown king; but it can make
neither. The actress must make her.
self by long, thorough and patient
work, laid upon a foundation of strong
natural ability. 1t is well to avoid plat
itudes in advising young woman who
hopes to conquer on the stage When
she is told to work, she usually feels
that the one advising fails to under
stand her special case and how really
wonderful is her gift. Neither man
nor woman lives by platitudes alone,
but 1 am of opinion that both could
live better if they listened and needed
oftener that platitudinous word
work"
How often one has heard all these:
Patience, enthusiasm, capacity for in
finite detail, unceasing application,
courage. the power to put to ones in
dividual uses all adverse criticism"-
every woman who Is out In the world,
engaged in honest work, has heard
them many times-I had almost said,
until she is weary; but that is just the
point. She must not be weary of think
ing to herself, every day, of these car
dinal words and phrases, for they mark
the confines of her kingdom. Against
all these the American spirit Of haste
militates.-Ellen Terry, in Success.

Embarrassine Accuracv,

A certain Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson,
who had grown-up daughter. went to
live in California. where they rented a
small furnished house and engaged a
Chinese man-of-all-work.z The house
was well situated and tastefully fur
nished, and Wing Lee proved to be a
good cook, clean and respectful. As
soon as the Andersons were settled the
neighbors began to call, and it was then
that the fact was discovered that Wing
was absolutely devoid of any ideas as
to the ushering in or out of guests. So
one morning Mrs. Anderson and her
daughter determined to instruct him.
Providing him with tray, Miss Ander

One Eject of Russia's Great Railway.
With the completion of the Trans
Siberian Railroad Russia makes her
entry as competitor in the European
butter trade, and is carrying every
thing before her. In 1899 the Russian
product in the London markets was
too small for separate classification; in
two years it had jumped to the second
place, Denmark holding the first, as she
has long done. The Trans Siberian but

labor and social difficulties have reach

half Of her son Spain has lost the last
shreds of her once worldwide empire
Spanish military prestige has been de-
stroyed and the burden Of defeat
weighs heavily upon the proud spirit of
the nation. Yet in the midst of all
these adverse circumstances the Queen
has never for moment lost sight of
the great duty of educating her son for
the grave responsibilities of kingship
Through sorrow and uncertainty and
in the midst of cruel vicissitudes, she
has never f1inched. She has rightfully
earned the respect and admiration of
the whole world. During the years #

through the dangerous years and un-

child of middle class parents, mindful
of his physical development, and sur
rounded by all the healthful influences
of home life. He was kept in the open
air and made to exercise his body as
much as his years and his strength
would permit. His teachers, as such,
had over him the authority that teach
ers have over the son of any gentle
man, and his kingly prerogative did not
allow him to neglect his work or his

on hydrotherapy in Germany, has often
told us of the very great value OF cold
as heart stimulant or tonic. and that
it is far superior to alcohol In this re-
spect. DR.. Kellogg gives the method
of application as follows:
"The application consists of COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart. This COM
prises the space bounded by the second
rib above, the right border of the
sternum, line falling a half-inch to
the right of the nipple and the sixth
RIB below. The compress should be
large enough to cover this space and
to extend at least two inches outside
of 1t. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at tenn
perature Of about 60 degrees. The
compress should be wrung moderately
dry and should be very lightly covered

evaporation should be encouraged and
be continued for some time"

while others give brandy in consider

titioners employ brandy freely with
the cold bath. The unwisdom of this
practice will be apparent on due con-
sideration of the following facts:
"One purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure true stimulant
or tonic effect in arousing the vitaf

nerve centers. Alcohol was once sup

and was used for this purpose in ty-

conditions accompanied by depression

1t is estimated by those who profess

as drug to allay pain, but also as an
intoxicant, is daily becoming an In
creasing evil.
A physician to whom this statement
was quoted by a Sun reporter express
ed some doubt as to the extent OF the
evil so far as the medical profession Is
concerned, but said that the general
estimate was rather under than over
the mark.
'The demand for morphine In the
drug stores is increasing at an alarm

Whether or not it is possible to cure

habit has reached serious stage is
still the subject Of debate among ply
sicians. There are also differences Of

institutional treatment or the services

The sudden withdrawal Of the drug
