BRAINS AND EXERCISE.

William n Eyarts, who died at q very
old age, attributed his long life to the
fact that he never exercised.
The philosopher, Leibnitz, who lived
20 years, passed most OF his days sitting
In a chair. He didn't believe in taking
exercise, and after q walk Of q mile he
was unable for two or three days TO get
HIS mental powers into proper working
order.
Joseph Chamberlain doesn't believe In
physical exercise. He never walks when
he can ride; he doesn't play golf; there
are no Indian clubs or dumb bells IN his
room and he declares that he never feels
well after indulging in physical exer-
tion Of any kind. Mr.. Chamberlain was
born IN 1886, and looks to be about 20
years Of age
There Is not q more athletic figure In
ali the senate than that Of Mr.. Aldrieh,
Of Rhode Island. He Is always trained
down to fighting weight; HIS step Is as
quick and elastic as boys; his bearing
that Of q muscular man. SO easily active
and unconsciously strong Is the Rhode
Islander that there is a fascination in
watching him on the senate floor. The
secret is said to be in his devotion to the
ancient game Of golf Near his residence
In Proyidence he possesses expansive
acres on which are hisoWn private links.
Many a morning during the long sum-
mer and autumn months finds him

MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE.

The French ambassador and Nine
Jusserand viii go to New Orleans soon,
when there is to be a celebration OF the
one hundredth anniversary Of the trans
fer of Louisiana from France to the
United StateA
Il has been remarked that few men
who come to congress from the Pacific
coast are natives of that region. One OF
the few is John Newton Williamson, Of
Oregon, whose wife was also born inthe
thirty-third state Of the union.
Very few are aware that William H.
Taft, prospective secretary Of " ar and
now governor Of the Philippines, got his
start In life through performing the
dangerous feat Of whipping an editor.
His father, after q distinguished public
career, had Just formed a law partner
ship in Cincinnati, when a weekly paper
attacked his private life in a scandaious
way. The young man, fresh from Yale,
ct once called at the newspaper once
and in few minutes had polished Oh
his man In fine style.

NO sHAKEsPEAREAN ACTORS
No Longer Trained to the Expression
 of the Grand Passions.

We no longer have English speaking Shakespearean actors Time was when this was not true. Edwin Booth proh- ably engaged the last company of old fashioned actors who were bred in the traditions of Shakespeare. These livel on Shakespeare's imagery. They or dered their breakfasts in blank verse and betrayed the touchy dignity of the kings and knights and villains of the Elizabethan drama, but. also, their minds were dignifed. and the fiber of their intellect was toughened by the great thoughts and the great passions with which they dwelt. There are none such now, or not so many that a real Shakespearean star could find a suffi- cient number to fill the minor parts ir Hamlet" or Lear" or Macbeth" or Julius Caesar or Romeo and Juliet" to say nothing of the comedies which require. on the part of the actor, a nice interpretation-that is, nice dis crimination. a consummate art, a keen appreciation of the literary values of the lines. and a quick responsiveness to the spirit of the poet
 The reason for this lack of actors capable of Shakespeare is clear to all who know the modern stage. Actors are no longer trained to the expression of the grand passions. to the under standing of the cosmic philosophy of Shakespeare. The old race of actors who could fill the stage with the heroes the villains and the clowns of Englan !, whom Shakespeare portrayed. is dead. 4 new race has succeeded. and the men and women of this race have not been bred on celestial food It is impossible to train an actor for high thoughts OF for the appropriate repetition of noble sentiments by way of modern farce comedy. The actor of today spends his life either in displaying to society its own follies or in amusing it by preach ing to it. or in bringing laugh to mod est cheeks that ought to be blushinS, or in beguiling the weary with extrav- aganzas. A mind devoted to mere pas time is not likely to be hospitable to shakespeare. A hard course in Bow cry slang does not open the intelligence to the mellow humor of the Merry Wives" or to the owlish wisdom of the graVediggers in Hamlet" nor does 1t lead to an appreciation of the satire O. Dogberry, or of the keen wit of the two who strung themselves into mutual love. The quips and jest of the modern curbstone not only lack the distinction of ancient English tavern raillery. but they demoraliZe the mind that devotes itself to them.

 The house was beautifully decorated with pepper branches and roses.
 The evening opened with a short pro- gram of songs. recitations and dia- logues by the children of the lower grades; this was followed by the grad uating exercises.
 Alber Wriedt, the only boy of the class, read an essay on the St. Louis fair. giving an interesting account Of the purchase and wonderful develop ment of the Louisiana territory and closing with a synopsis of the plans of the fair.
 Miss Zella Alfred read an original story of Virginia Dare of the lost colo ny. It was an interesting little sketch and seemed much appreciated by the audience.
 Miss Rose Openshaw gave the class history and caused much laughter by her apt hits.
 Professor Scudder of the Normal then gave a fine address and the exercises closed by an address and presentation of diplomas to the class by Miss Fannie CCltrin. the teacher.
 The class all expect to attend the Nor mai next year.

THE MAGAZINE.

Henry Loomis Nelson's "trenchant arraignment of the growing despotism of the so-called upper chamber of Congress" "The Overshadowing Sen ate," in the February Century, pro- voked wide editorial and general dis cussion. It was even quoted by sena- tor Depew in his speech on the state hood bill. There is likely to be more than usual interest, which will appear in the May Century, dealing with ''The Hampered Executive" I. is prcpne- sled that the narrowness of the limi- tations which bind our president will surprise many readers of the sketch.
 
 "Rosebud's Grandpapa," by the Bar oness von HUtten, the noYelette with which the May Smart Set opens, is a masterpiece of smart fiction. The dis tinguishe1 author again writes with that charm which has alre--y won her an enviable reputation here and abroad; but this story is more distinct i've than any other work she has pro- duced, for she tells of the most exclu- sive set in American society. and with that intimate knowledge which is only to be gained by personal association.
 In the short stories of the number there is found even more than usual of that variety and excellence which have made the Smart Set famous. "A Cure of Souls" by Owen Oliver, is 2 wonderfully distinctive bit of fiction, full of tenderness. Let Furnished" by John Oxenham, is, on the other hand, 9 strikingly droll narrative Of American enterprise in England. "The World Well Lost" by Alfred Sutro, is a strong analysis of life In an unusual situation. Besides these, there are "The Gallantry of MT. Jimmy Rogers" by Justus Miles Forman, which tells of a tragic jest; Dumb Lips" by Edna Kenton, a searching psychological study; "The Judgment of All-Hallows." by Beatrix Buchanan. a delicious com edy, and An Enigmatical Request, by Henry Adelbert Thompson, a sensa- tional story of absorbing interest; while Ruth Parsons Milne and Morgan Robertson also write admirable fiction for this number.

 The surgeon with us could make nothing of his case. and we finally got cart and started for home to turn the poor fellow over to the proper au thorities. On the second day of the journey the cart broke down, and as iJ did SO the wild man burst his bonds and escaped into the jungle. We put in ten days hunting for him. but got no trace, and finally abandoned pursuit.
 Six months later he was seen once or twice in the foothills to the north, but no pursuit was organized, and, if not dead, he is today wandering about the forests and jungles like a wild beast.
 How he could have escaped death during the two years I write of is a singular thing. as the country was i'm fested with poisonous serpents and sav- age beasts, but when he was our cap tive he had not a scar on his body and was evidently in the best of health.- NJ. Quad.

form all you need do is to hypnotize yourself just before the moment of sinking into slumber at night. You must resolve at the same time that you will break away from the thraldom, and, presto! your vices are no more: they are as though they had never ex- isted; they are henceforth repugnant to you.
 Science says that auto-suggestion- self -hypnotism-will cure humanity Of its normal failings, make the morbid gay, the rakish sedate, the stupid bright.
