PERSONAL CHARM.
1t 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
wa; has been swaged against the So
called degeneracy of the modern
drama. This, Of course, arises from
the lack or rather the want, of a more
intimate knowledge of stage affairs.
take it that a large majority OF
those engaged in the dramatic profess
sion are DESTROYS 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 rs
years, one cannot help realizing that
great reform has taken place. and this
reforms for the better. We have bet
ter theaters, both for the comfort of
the players and the audiences.
1--WE have more actors and better &C.
tors. Some of the best financial minds
in the country are largely interested in
the business.
There is one phase. however, think,
of the stage and it's 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 her So
ciety sister.
If 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 it's behold
ers. 1t may be said in all modesty that

ABOUT CHAPPED HANDS.
II q Little Cn re Is Exc rcised, No WON.
an Need Go Around with Un-
attractive Wrists.

This winters trouble with chapped
hands has renewed the interest Of
women, and men, too, in lotions ard
other things which help to keep them
soft, and many authorities are
quoted on the subject of the care Ct
the hands.
The chief reason of this common
but annoying complaint of cold
weather is that the skin, losing its
elasticity because of a lack of natural
secretion at a time that atmospheric
conditions do not induce perspira-
ton, becomes unduly dry and con-
tracted, and so liable to crack. it
is tender skin that will do this,
because tender skins are thin and
delicate, and cannot stand what
rougher ones will.
Another cause is carelessness in
drying the skin after washing it.
particularly if it is washed imme-
diately before going out into the
open air or directly after coming in.
Very many persons in cold wealth
er dare not wash their hands either
before going out or Immediately aft
err coming in, for if they do, even
though the water they use be warm,
their skin will burn so rs to be pain
full, and it will look red besides.
They may avoid such an annoy
ance if they will rub ON the hands a
little cold cream or camphor ice, al.
low it to remain on moment or 80,
and then remove it with soft old
handkerchief, either of silk or cam.
brio.
Another delightful emollient for
the hands, arms and neck is fine oat-
meal. Put it into a flannel bag, boil
and then place it in the water intend
ed for additions, or it may be kept
dry in jar ON the toilet table and
some rubbed on the hands whenever
they are washed. Honey rubbed into
the skin, while still wet, drying it in
| as the skin is dried, is also q proven
tive of chapping.
If hands were dried more carefully
there would be less roughness of the
skin. A good plan is to dry the hands
we'll, after using the towel, with an
old, soft silk handkerchief.
Glycerine is an old friend, but as
alone it is irritating to naost skins,
it should be diluted with rose water
or pure water, one part of glycerine to
three parts of rose water. If about one
dram Of acetic acid is used to one
ounce of glycerine, it helps to re-
move any stain from the hands.
If woman is wise she will take
I the precaution to wear gloves when
busting a room or doing any kind of
work that will, soil her hands.-Cht-
cago Record He raid.

Dresslnx for Various Days.

In one country, at least, woman's
dress is regulated entirely by the day
of the week. In Siam every woman is
a living calendar. On Sunday red silk,
with parure of rubies, is worn; Mon
day brings silver and white dress and
a necklace of moonstones; Tuesday is
dedicated to light red, with coral orna-
ments; Wednesday Is devoted to green,
with emeralds; Thursday sees dis
play of variegated colors, with cats

VIC sisters Of the stage are in advance
that is, we lead the way--we picture
what is to be rather than portray what
has been. And am not sure but that
the chief exploitation is that of health.
Surely there is no harder worked
creature than the modern actress; and,
to be able to perform her work, health
is the one great essential. The actress
is literal slave. She can go nowhere,
see no one; she must be careful of her
diet and of her nerves. The routine of
her life must he carried on with alb
soiute military precision. She must
sacrifice all that woman most loves
in order that she may be ply sically able
to carry on her work. 1t is the prep
aration of this work, the physical prep
aration, that is so vital to the modern
actress.
This preparation means time and
money; it means, in a sense, life of
luxury, but it is an expensive luxury:
but, after all, this luxury, so-called, is
IN extreme necessity.>
1t is the accessories of ones life-the
life of an actress that are so essential
the masseuse, the manicure, the hair
dresser and the maids-and oftentimes
so many of them-all of the necessary
helpers in the great battle for health.
There is the cold plunge in the morn
ing that must be taken in the proper
temperature; the drives and other out
of-door exercises-the constant, cease
less care of the body that takes up
the necessary routine. 1t is a. never
ending struggle; therefore repeat
again that the actress, if she be true to
her profession, is indeed slave.
The stage of to-day maynot deal with
phil osophical religious thought in the
same earnest manner in which it has
done in the past, nor delight in the de-
piction of abstract phases of charac-
ter, but it does present living men and
women of to-day. To portray the
women the actress is obliged to sum-
mon every art and to perfect herself
in every physical charm that she may
serve as a model for personal attract
iveness.-Sirginia Harmed, in Boston

MORE HOTEL PARASITES.
The Number of Beats IL IneFeasiD1,
According to Men Behind
the Registers.

The discovery has been made that q
cided increase in spite of efforts to
stop the growth of his kind. The "hotel
parasite" is growing in numbers, states
the Chicago Tribune.
The parasite is species which uses
hotel stationery, hotel chairs, hotel
matches, hotel toothpicks, and hotel
newspapers if he can secure them.
- He writes his letters at the hotel
desks. He adorns the chairsin the hotel
lobby. He parades the Office floor, and
adds beauty to the scenery.
He all but lives at the hotel. When
meal time comes he folds his tent and
silently steals away. The hotel pro.
prietor cannot object unless the para.
site become noisy or sleepy. He is apt
to have sense of the prophetic which
will keep him from becoming bois-
terous,. but there is chance that he
will stretch out his legs and fall asleep
in a hotel chair. That's where the tav-
ern keepers opportunity arrives; He
bounces the parasite. .~

-
means to encourage the silkworm in
dustry in the United States. 1t is pro-
posed to distribute to the public silk
worm eggs, together with full instruc-
tions as to how they may be Matched,
the worms fed and, developed and at
FAST how the cocoons may be gathered.
After taking the beginners through all
these stages, the government will buy
the cocoons, paying regular market
prices for them. All this is to be done
in order to stimulate interest in the
business, in. the hope of establishing it
as an industry. Those who apply to
the department of agriculture for silk
worm eggs will be, furnished with
about one-sixteenth of an ounce OF
them, provided the officials here are
convinced that serious attempt to
hatch the eggs is to be made, says
Washington special to the Brooklyn
Eagle. :.,4 ,.,. u,..
The allotment of one-sixteenth OF an
ounce may seem like a very small start
err, but when it is known that 1T
takes about 10000 eggs to weigh a
single ounce, it will be seen that Uncle
Sam is generous enough in his distribu-
ton. Already much interest has been
created in this subject, and applica-
lions for eggs are coming in at the rate
of four or five day. The government
recently bought 60 ounces of the finest
grade of silkworm eggs in France and
Italy, and is prepared to buy more
when it becomes apparent that the
present supply will be exhausted.
Negotiations are now under way for
the importing of two reelers, as per-
sons are called who are versed in the
art Of removing the silk from cocoons
and transferring it to reels. The neces-
sary machinery has been bought, and
the manufacture of raw silk will be in
full blast at the department in the fall,
when the worms have spun the silk. It
is proposed to sell the product to silk
manufacturers.
Prof. L. O. Howard, the entomologist
of the department of agriculture, has
charge of this work, and he says the
climate and other conditions on Long
Island were we'll adapted to silkworm
culture. The place chosen for rearing
the worms should be relat lively high,
and not exposed to malaria, or bad
odors, and mulberry trees shouldgrow
around it. Any room that can be prop
erly heated and ventilated will answer
the purpose. Sixty-five days usually
complete the cycle of existence of the
silkworm, covering the Matching of the
eggs, the growth of theworm, the spin
ming of its covering, called the cocoon;
the development of the chrysalis into
the moth, the laying of eggs by the
mother moth and then it's peaceful
death. Prof. Howard describes the
whole process in little bulletin that
he has issued, and it would appear from
it that silkworm culture can be carried
on at home in any place where null
berry leaves may be obtained, The de-
velopment of the worm from theatom-
like eggs is very rapid The newborn
insect eats day and night, at all hours,
except when. asleep, and in about 30
days grows $4,000 times larger than it
was at birth.

Not until several months later was
the mystery of the strange recovery
of my wicker flask made clear. On
their bridal trip Edward Harrington
told Dulcimer that he had bought it
of fisherman who had picked it up
off the coast of Hammerfest during
the past fishing season.
Harrington, fully alive to the mean
ing of the recovered flask, and also
suspecting treachery on Munn's part
in his own case, set out to find us,
and only succeeded in locating our
party at Florence on Christmas
night. The room given him was next
to Dulcimer's at the hotel. He had
been a somnambulist since early boy
hood, and on this Christmas night,
filed with doubts as to what course
he should pursue in regard to this
silent witness of rivals villainy-
a witness that had been strangely
drawn over countless miles by the
forces of mysterious phenomena, to
give testimony within the arctic cir.
Gle itself of deed committed long
months before on semi-tropic seas
Harrington had arisen in his sleep
made his way from one balcony to
4 another, and finding the window OF
Dulcimer's room unfastened. had
gone in and given her the flask, much
to her terror and his own consterna
ton when he awoke.

News from Rocky Greek.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The health of this community is
very good with the exceptions Of
few colds.
Our farmers are very much dis
coursged over the rainy weather.
Never mind dear farmers, it is for
our good although we cannot see it
in that way.
These days when We see some one
going home from market the general
question is, how are the roads. The
answer is, oh they are almost impas-
sable.
Mr.. S. L. Shealy had one of those
old time log rollings last Wednesday
and oh how We did enjoy ourselves
rolling logs and eating that delicious
dinner, which was 80 nicely prepared.
Miss Lessie Shesly and her two
little brothers, Masters Samuel and
Carroll, have gone to Pelion on a
couple days visit, to their sister Mrs.
H. H. Holley, of that place.
We hear the mocking birds singing
their sweet little songs, and We see
the trees budding so beautifully and
the little frogs still croaking for more
rain, it makes US think that spring is
almost here again.
! Our farmers are very busy turning
the soil, preparing for another crop.
From appearances it seems that
cotton will be the main crop, but it
should not. Now, brother farmers,
let me give you little advice on
this matter. Plant enough of other
crops that will be needed at home
and then if you have and land to
spare plant it in cotton for q money
crop, and in the fall We think that
you will be proud of so doing.
When you pass through the Ridge
Road section don't get frightened
and think that a tarnado has just
passed through for Mr.. Fl. 4. Adams
has just purchased stump puller
and is taking them out right and left.
Rev. S. P. Shumpert preached a

Beauty Legally Recognized.

Beauty Legally 6eeogaaSsa.
Boston, Mass, March 2O.-On the
ground that her beauty had swept
the jury off its feet and led it to find
against the evidence, the supreme
court today set aside the 100000
verdict recently awarded Mrs. Julia
O'Toole against the Old Colony
Street Railway company, and Mrs.
O'Toole, fine specimen OF traditional
Irish beauty, ordered new trial.
In it's decision the court says:
This is a case where the female
plaintiff, an interested party, on the
material parts of the case, stood
alone against overwhelming evidence
against her. Moreover, she was
good look and good appearing young
woman against a corporation.
In another part of the decision
this further statement occurs: "The
female plaintiff is a good looking
young woman who stood alone against
almost all the witnesses, against all
the evidence, direct and circumstan-
tial, and the jury must have been
carried off their feet by sympathy"
Mrs. O'Toole thereby achieves the
distinction of being the only woman
in that commonwealth whose beauty
holds on official, judicial standing
in the court records.
Mrs. O'roole feels that the court
is at least ungallant in 80 finding
against her. Il am sure," she said,
1.-The next jury will give me another
verdict. If I had been plain looking
I suppose the verdict would stand"
