WIFE OF MIR. MANSFIELD.
Beatrice Cameron Has More Than One
 Claim to Distinction.

From the Kansas City Star.
 There is not anywhere, perhaps more beautiful family attachment than exists between Richard Mansfield, his wife, Beatrice. and their little son, George Gibbs Mansfield.
 < Beatrice Cameron Mansfield is a direct descendant of Priscilla Mullin of the Mayfiower. She was born in Troy, N Y, and was young girl when she went on the stage. Her apprenticeship in minor parts was brief. In the spring of 1886 Richard Mansfield was about to be- gin his career as an independent actor and manager. Already he had aston ished the English and American public by his marked versatility as Baron Chev- rial in "A Parisian Romance" as Nick Vedder in Panquettes Rip Van Winsle.' as monocled, English accent ed Ko-Ko in ''The Mikado' and as Mrs Fiske's leading man. He had play called Prince Karl" which he deter mined to make his own investment. Among those who were introduced to him for roles was Beatrice Cameron. MT. Mansfield made her his leading lady at once.
 Miss Cameron held this position twelve consecutive years-a record duplicated perhaps In one other instance only-that of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving. Dur ing this period she played the leading female roles in Prince Karl" 'Dr JekylI and MT. Hyde" Monsieur" King Richard Ill.," "Don Juan" Nero Ten Thousand a Year. The Scarlet Letter." "'rhe Merchant of Ven ice," Arms and the Man. "The Elm peror Napoleon. "The King of Peru" "Rodion. the Student" Castle Som- bras' and 'The Devils Disciple
 MT. Mansfield often proclaims that he has never known and does not believe there ever was a better Portia or Lady Anne than Beatrice Cameron's. He has repeatedly acknowledged his indebted ness to her for the assistance and in- spiraton given him by her performance of Raina in George Bernard Shaw's s.Arms and the Man" her Mrs. Ander- son in the same authors "The Devils Disciple" and her Hester Prynne in .'The Scarlet Letter."
 Miss Cameron was one of the first American actresses to appreciate and in- deed to act Ibsen in this country. It was one winter in the early '90s that she first acted Nora in "The Dolls House." Mir Mansfield placed his company and seen cry and her disposal. The criticisms of the time gave her praise that must have

Universe All Alive.

William S. Harwood in the Century
 I asked MT. Burbank this question:;
 Has anything developed in your life work and in your study of the great ele- mental forces of nature to imperil true faith or render dead behef Tn God or the immortality of the soul?'
 He answered:
 My theory of the laws and underlying principles of plant creation Is. in many respects, diamterically opposed to the theories of the materialists. l am sin cere believer in higher power than that of man. All my investigations have led me away from the idea of dead. ma terial universe, tossed about by various forces, to that of universe which Is absolutely all force life, soul. thought. or whatever name We may choose to call ii. Every atom molecule, plant. animal, or planet Is only an aggregation of or ganized unit forces held in place by stronger forces. thus holding them for time latent, though teeming with incon- ceivable power. All life on our planet is. so to speak, just on the outer fringe of this infinite ocean of force. The universe is not half dead, but all alive"

In the Womans magazine for July, 1904, it was stated by Lewis;
 Made Many Promises.
 Since my article appeared in your last issue over 1000 subscriptions to the capi- tai stock of our bank have been re- ceived. I am arranging to turn nearly everything I have into cash outside of my stockholding in my present publish ing business, and expect to subscribe for at least $1,000,000 of the stock of our bank. l must pay cash, exactly the same as you do, for my stock, as there is no promoters of stock in this bank; but when 1t opens its doors there will be a dollar in cash in the vaults for every dollar of capi- tal stock, and every dollars of my profit will go to increase the reserve of the bank each year.
 Already the enofL.cus success of the bank is assured, One banker of Chicago has offered to place a millions dollars of our stock in single day. A San Francisco banker subscribed for s1000O0 of the stock. but was permitted to have only $500. and fore all the stock is subscribed. I shall not let this banker have the $500 Of stock.''

Foundation of Mark Twain's Fortune

From Success.
 Mark Twain says that in his earlier days he did not enjoy the exceptional prosperity which came later in his career. It Is commonly the lot of genius to suffer neglect at first and experience did not affect his abiding good nature In con versation with William Dean Howells on one occasion the subject of literature viscissitudes was preached by the humor- ist.
 My difficulties taught me some thrift" he observed. But 1 never knew whether it was wiser to spend my last nickel for a cigar to smoke or for an apple to de- vour.
 T am astounded," observed Mir How els. that a person of so little decision should meet with so much worldly suc- cess.
 Mark Twain nodded very gravely.
 'sIndecison about spending money he said. .'is worthy of cultivation. When I couldn't decide what to buy with my last nickel I kept it. and so became rich"

 Carmen Rallas, a native teacher in Cebu, won first prize on Rizal Day by composition in English, which she has studied less than two years. Says Miss Rallas:
 '"ro have a good, clear mind and en- ergy it Is necessary to have good health. How can a body study if he has not a good health? It is the duty of the teach- CTS to have all the parts of the school very clean, because this avoids the child ren from sickness, and besides that, 1t accustoms them to have themselves and everything else clean.
 'The children should go to school with good clean dresses, although not very pretty one, but must be clean and decent, as well as their faces and hands. l think that everybody like to have good ap- pearance himself, for this fact we must be clean not only for ourselves. but also for the other persons around us. Boys and girls of the Philippines have a bad custom, that is the splitting on the floor Perhaps, because of this bad cus- tom, many people here had died from con- sumption This is indeed not becoming, and it should be forbidden to the children. Teach them cleanliness in school and in their homes, for this trains them to be educated and for it's hygienic importance.
 "It is best also in school to have the children sit up straight, to accustom them to be in a good-looking position. This Is good for the health as well as for the shape of the body. We should train the children to do this while they are young, for their bones are still soft, because if we let them do what they please the GUS tom will become a habit. and when they grow older it will be difficult or too late to correct them"
 Miss Rallas concludes: "To be a teacher is an honorable office, although 1t is a hard task. but l think that a good citizen who loves his country would not mind to do even the hardest work for the sake and benefit of his country and countrymen."
