In the body changes that take place
as we grow old, Metchnikoff and other
psychologists suppose that an impor-
tant part is taken by the phagocytes,
or devouring cells. Some years ago it
was made to appear that some of these
cells are color eaters, and that they
whiten the hair by seizing the pigment
grains and conveying them into the
skin or out of the organism. On fur
ther study the theory has been evolved
that old age itself is Que to phagocytes
that destroy the nerv< eslls. The Esrve
eating cells have been found in the
brains of many old people and old mann
mails, as well as in persons suffering
from nervous disease, but in no case
have they been known to reach such
development--or to have so nearly
taken the place of the nerve cells--as
in the brain of parroquet that died
at the great age of 81, after some years

Personal CHARM.
Il Must BE Assiduously Cultivated by
the Actress who Wishes to BE
= Success.

There are few people except those
who are personally familiar with the
stage who can fully comprehend the
professional life of one engaged in the
presentation of the higher class drama.
1t has become custom of recent years
to attack with more or less ability the
moral and intellectual tendencies of
the stage, and more than one fierce
war has been waged against the So
called degeneracy of the modern
drama. This, of course, arises from
the lack, or rather the want, of more
intimate knowledge of stage affairs.
take it that a large majority Of
those engaged in the dramatic profess
sion are desirous of elevating the stage,
that being a common phrase these
days. When we look back over what
has been accomplished for the stage in
the United States during the past Is
years, one cannot help realizing that a
great reform has taken place. and this
reform is for the better. We have bet
ter theaters, both for the comfort Of
the players and the audiences.
I'VE have more actors and better ac-
tors. Some of the best financial minds
in the country are largely interested in
the business.
There is one phase. however, 1 think,
OF the stage and its life to-day that
those who are inclined to criticise are
apt to forget in their TRADES, and that
is the education in personal attractive
ness and adornment, and, incidentally,
the education of health that the wom-
an Of the modern stage is not only seek
ing to give, but in fact giving to herso-
ciety sister.
1t Shakespeare dissected the inner
man, the modern playwright certainly
exploits the outer woman.
In the mythology of every nation
there has been possessor of magic
mirror in which can be seen reflected
the future. 1t is this mirror that the
modern drama holds up to its behold
ers. 1t may be said in llmodesty that
