How They Vary Their Food to suit
Changed Conditions.
An impression prevails that insects
and other creatures are so correlated
with their food that they can scarcely
exist unless the special food seemingly
essential TO them Is ready to hand. says
Meehans Monthly. This is believed
true not only OF food but Of their habits
in general. The yucca and the yucca
moth are so closely connected that it
does seem as if each is absolutely de-
pendent on the other-and one might
well ask. What would the chimney
swallow do without chimneys in which
to build its nest or cherry or peach
tree gum with which to build them?
But just as the vegetarian would have
to abandon his principles where there
was nothing in the icy region but musk
oxen and walrus to feed on-so animal
nature generally has the instinct OF
preservation TO take to that which first
comes to hand when favorite resources
fail. The chimney swallow built its

William Winter, who was writing
well considered dramatic criticisms in
New York when Mrs. Gilbert began
her career with DAILY. told eloquently
Of her career in a recent article, the
closing paragraph of which is append
ed;
Mrs. Vernon was the best in this
line until Mrs. Gilbert came. and the
period which has seen Mrs. Judah,
Mrs. Vincent, Mrs. Germon, Mary
Carr, Mrs. Chippendale, Mrs. Hind,
Mrs. Philips. Mrs. Stirling, Mrs. Bill
lington. and Nine. Ponisi, has seen
no superior to Mrs. Gilbert in her spe-
cial walk Because of her proficiency,
In youth, as a beautiful dancer, her
motions and spontaneous ease and
grace. She could assume the fine lady
without suggesting the parvenu. She
was equally good, whether as the for
nal and severe matron of starched
domestic life, or the genial old dame
Of the pantry. She could play Tenn
perance, in "The Country Squire. and
equally she could play Mrs. Jellaby.
All varieties of the eccentricity of ell
derly women, whether serious or com
ic. were easily within her grasp Bet
sy Trotwood, embodied by her, be-
came living reality; while. on the
other hand she suffused with a sinis-
ter horror her furtive. stealthy. glid-
ing, uncanny personation Of the dumb,
half insane Hester Dethridge. That
was the first great success that Mrs.
Gilbert gained, under the management
of Mr.. Daily. Her assumption of the
Marquise de St. Maur was instinct
with aristocrasy. Most of her later
triumphs were obtained as the formid-
ably lady who typifies the domestic
proprieties and the Nemesis of re-
spectability 1t was her refined but
severely regular presence that gave
soul and wings to A Night Off From
Miss Garth to Mrs Laburnum is a far
stretch of initiative talent for the in,
depreciation of the woman nature that

YourHruLnEss OF THE MIND
Enjoyment and zest for Life Not Con-
fined TO the Young.

Youthfulness is a quality very diff
flclit to describe AS often as not it
proceeds from the mind rather than
from appearance, and one often feels
with middle-aged and elderly people
that they are in reality far more
youthful in ideas, in the keenness OF
their enjoyment and in their fresh
outlook than many CT ones acquaint-
ances who in point of years are mere
girls It is said that every age has its
compensations and undoubtedly there
are many mothers of families anG
.grandmothers, too, who own to an en-
soyment and zest for life equal to that
experienced in early years. Youthful
ness is temperament and the capacity
for taking the simple goods that are
to be found in existence rather than in
waiting for superlative joys which
may never arrive. The bored person
or either sex is invariably c weari-
some companion, while one with a
keen sense OF enjoyment adds to tie
well-being of others thousand fold
Exchange.

So I suggested she should go alone

Hiuhwayman Was Popular.

Jack Sheppard had great hold
upon the imagination of the people OF
his time. The fact that 100000 peo
pie Witnessed his execution at Tyburn
on Nov. 16, 1924, upon the tree that
bears twelve times yeare," is some
witness to his grim popularity. But
one of the strangest tributes ever paid
him was the sermon preached upon
him in a London church. "Oh, thai
ye we're all like Jack Sheppard" be
gan the preacher, to the stupefaction
of his congregation. He went on tc
draw a paralleI between things Of the
flesh and those OK The soul, and tc
point out that the genius shown in
housebreaking might have been be
slowed upon picking the locks of the
heart with the nail of repentance"

Still. as that absence might even now

faithless WIFE No; that shall not be
done for her sake. Wherever she is,
she is not here"
He spoke as If expecting me to be-
lieye him. Strange to say. | did be-
lieve him. The thought that this house
would be the last place in which he
would hide Viola from my search, no
doubt conduced to this belief But now
could no longer doubt the horrible
truth. This man, bv some deviish
craft, had torn my wife from me-had
taken away the woman who. few
hours ago pressed a Sudas kiss on my
lips, even as she was going to meet her
lover.
Stay. perhaps he had killed her Such
things have been done before now by
men who fail to win the woman they
love. Perhaps he had decoyed her
away.and was detainirg her against her

for me to come and free her.

Chinese Bomb
Blows Off Hand

Charles Grady, an oiler on the
steamship Coptic, had his left hand
practically blown OFF last night by a
Chinese bomb. The bomb had been
thrown into the street from a Chinese
store on Maunakea street near Hotel,
and the fire went out. Taking It up,
the unfortunate man went into the
store, worked at the fuse for a while
and then lit 1t with his cigar. Before
he reached the sidewalk to throw it.,
the bomb exploded. His thumb was
blown almost completely off and the
remainder OF the fingers were so badly
torn that they will probably never be
OF any use. The patrol wagon took
Craddy to the hospital, where he had
immediate surgical attention. He was
taken aboard the Coptic this morning
and left for his home In San Francisco.
