MARIE GEISTINGER DEAD.
Most Popular German Actress Of Her
Day Was Well known Here.

Marie Geistinger, the most popular
German actress Of the past half century,
died Yesterday at Klagenfurth. Austria.
She was born ut Gratz. on July 20. 1898.
At the age Of 10 she had already begun
her musical career al singing soubrette In
the smaller Austrian cities.
In 1s5, she reached Vienna and there her
reputation was made. During that same
season she appeared with SUCCESS in Ham,
burg and Berlin. For thirteen years she
travelled through the principal German
and Austrian cities, and in 1885 settled in
Vienna. where she turned her talents to
operetta. 1t was in ia Belle Helene" and
afa Grande Duchesse" that she established
her reputation as the first OF the German
operetts singers. She triumphed in other
works of the Offenbach repertoire and re-
NAMED the particular star OF the Viennese
stage until 1879.
Then she accomplished what seemed the
imnossible thing She decided to appear
in the serious drama as we'll as opera bouffe
She made as great a success in emotional
roles as she ever had in operetta and won
especial distinction as Camille. Elizabeth
and Adrieane Lecourreur. On her starring
tours through the European cities she would
plav her widely contrasted repertoire on
alternate nights.
Marie Geistinger was closely connected
with the history Of the German theatre
in this city, where she played with great
success. She came her in 1880 to appear at
the Thalia She played her entire repertoire,
that ranged from tragedy to operetta,
and went back, in March, to Vienna, with
$50, 900 as the result of her first season here:
She returned here for three seasons and
dominated the performances given In the
German theatres when they were as rule
much better than they are to-day. After
she was more than go she returned to this
country in 1897 to act at The little theatre
called the Germana, in Eighth street, near
Fourth avenue. 1t is needless to say that
these performances reflected little credit
on the actress and gave her admirers little

over the trousers. He feared that when

said, Take EN-" The tailor followed
him to the door, 'I forgot to tell you

Searles half way down the stairs
made a remark. The tailor did not

not heard enc word concerning his
share In it. The trousers were so near
ly new that he would not have to tell
his wife q lie about them, and, after
all, they were q bargain. In this
amiable frame of mine he walked into
his library.
Lillian had just come in. She was
warming ten small, plump, red fingers
over the CRATE. She exhibited each
chilly digit to him in turn. The mum
had not been recovered.
Want to sec my new trousers? ?"
asked Searles, cheerfuIly, wishing to
change the subject.
He shook out the trousers in all
their freshness and folds, and swung
them before his wife's eyes. She
merely vouchsafed them a glance.
How much did they cost?"
Lemuel had anticipated this ques-
ton, hence the figuring on the train.
Just SIS at Longs" he replied glibly.
Mrs. Searles took hold of the hem OF
one leg gingerly. She elevated her
nose.

Searles knew that the odor was due
to the recent dyeing, but all he said
was:
'Store smell on the cloth, prob

She turned the legs over and tried the
quality of the cloth. She examined the

childish blue eyes to her husbands

SHALL SMALL CREAMERIES PAS
TEURIZE7

We are frequently asked, is it ad-
visable for a small creamery to make
pastuerized butter? said M. Morten-
son. before buttermakers' convention.
The only one that can answer that
question to any satisfaction is the
man who Is buying the butter; If he
wants to have the product pasteur
lied and is willing to pay the extra
cost, then 1t will pay to pasteurize
because the butter will always give
better satisfaction. 1t is a fact that
the buttermaker who is pasteurizing
his cream has several advantages
over the one who is not. BY pasteur-
izing the cream and adding a starter
he secures perfect control of ferment-
ations and he will be enabled to make
a uniform grade Of butter. OF course
1T is necessary that he keep a good
starter on hand all the time, he can
never depend on luck the way he
often does when he is handling raw
cream.
By pasteurizing it is also possible
to remove taints caused by foods con-
sumed by the animal, also taints that
have been absorbed by the milk
from unfsvorable surroundings. Fla

point strongly in favor of this sys-
tenn is the keeping quality which pas
teurized butter possesses. If we de-
sire to compete for the foreign trade
we must make pasteurixed butter. A
dealer in Montreal informed me that
he would willingly pay one cent more
for pasteurfzed than for raw cream
butter. Another in Manchester, Eng
land, when showing me one of the
best makes Of Danish butter said:
This is nearly perfect butter; you
would probably want higher flavor,
but we are q little inclined to call
that butter strong which the Amer
leans pronounce high flavor" The
requirements are gradually changing
in this country. People seem to like
pasteurized butter very well after
they have once tasted 1t. One thing
is evident, the American people as
well as the English want butter with
keeping qualities and no other kind
meets the requirements as well as
butter.

Searles' Rummage Sale

The house was cold and cheerleSS.
Even the cat howled dismally at the
back door, preferring the atmosphere
without.
Lemuel pulled his overcoat collar up
around his ears, and drew his hat
down to meet it. Then he seated him
self in his accustomed chair at the
dining table and surveyed the cola
ton of cold scraps spread out before
him. In their midst was a note from
his wife.
Darling have the most awful con-
fession to make. But it is not my fault
and 1 know you will forgive me. and
get me another. am so sorry that you
have not a hot dinner. Do relent and
come to the sale. The men are all call
ing 1t Searles' sale. Isn't that absurd?
The dinner is hot and good. Do come
for 25 cents. 1 am 50 sorry, but could
not help it, and you will forgive me,
will you not?"
He set his teeth resolutely into a
piece, of yesterdays roast.
L see myself oown there to dinner.
I've said I'd not set foot inside their
blooming show, and 1 won't"
q Mr.. Searles ate his lunch deliberate

started back to the bank.
At the front door he hesitated.
There hung Lillian's house key, for
gotten. He must get it to her, but
how? His dignity forbade his inva-
sion of Rogers block.
Hi, there, Sam!" yelled Searles.
Sam returned with a skip when he
saw his oft-time patrons hand disap-
pearing into his pocket.
Here, Sam, take this dime and this
key, and give one of them to Mrs.
Searles at the rummage sale.'
Sam grinned, dropped the dime into
his pocket and disappeared.
Just as Searles turned to go, pair
of trousers, hanging near the window,
caught his eye.

SearIes collared the youth, led him
into the recess of the alley, thrust SIS
into his hand, and some pointed direc-

his mouth shut and bring the bundle
straight to the bank.
Twenty-Five minutes later Searles
learned that his bargain was too short
in the legs, and too tight in the band

HOp11C II R.
FOUNDATION OF GROWTH.

What we call cells make up the
body of all plants. Some of the very
smallest forms Of plant life are made
up of few cells, but most plants have
millions of these. Take a compound
microscope, and place under it sec
ton from any plant; it will be found
to consist entirely of cells arranged
side by side or one over another.
Some OF the cells may be alive and
some dead. In large plants most OF
the cells are dead, even though the
plants themselves may be growing
vigorously. A cell is a minute globu-
lar body with a tough wall inclosing
fluid interior, which is called bio
plasm. This bioplasm has the power
to draw to itself more fluid through
the cell wall and thus increase the
size of the cell. When the cell can
grow no larger it divides itself into
two by the drawing in of the cell wall.
Just as sausage maker divides his
sausages by twisting and thus con-
tracing the skin. Each Of these parti-
cells then grows to the size OF the
original cell and itself divides. This
explains the rapid growth of plants at
some stages, after they have got
good start, as we say, and it also ex-
plains their slow growth at first. Any
scholar that has ever tried to double
a number for twenty or thirty times
will understand. Said a man to the
king of Burmah: "Give me q grain
of wheat for the first square on the
checker board. 2 for the second, for
the third. and SO on for the whole "a
squares" Said the king: Certainly,
1 command that it be DONE" His min
listers found there was 1ok wheat
enough in the kingdom to pay the
bill. That is how cells multiply. 1t
is why we wake up some morning
to find that the weeds have got ahead
of us-that they have overrun every
thing. He who understands this and
is wise will assail the weeds when
they are at a stage of slow growth
rather than wait till they are on the
gallop.
In time most cells lose their power
of division or increasing in size. These
walls become thicker and harder and
their interior solidifes. They have
been squeezed into various shapes.
Growth having ceased, they are
known as dead cells, when they are
of use only as supports to those that
are growing. When vitality is great
and nourishment abundant cell growth
goes on rapidly, but when either of
these is lacking the growth is slow.
