FERocIous FRIENDSHIP.
An Incident In the Life of the Ira
Hedinn 1Incready.

Between Macready aud my brother
Charles existed a kind OF feroclous
friendship. Macready, whatever he
may have been In private life, had at
the theater a simply horrible temper
and he was In the habit Of using Mt
rehearsals and even I'm IA undertone
when acting the most abusive lan-
guage--language which my brother
sometimes passed by with smile, but
which he occasionally holly resented.
He did not mind Macready constantly
addressing him as beast" but he OBJ
| jccted 10 having his eyes, his limbs
and his internal organs coupled with
| lnyectlve terms. Yet, oddly enough,
the great tragedlan, with whom he
was constantly quarreling, had a grim
respect and liking for him. He knew
him TO be a gentleman and a scholar
and one who was a competent judge
OF picturesque effect and an acute dra-
matte critic. On one occasion Ma
cready having to play "Othello." and
my brother not being included in the
cast, the tragedlan thus addressed him:
Beast l want you to ~ In front to-
night and give me afterward full and
candid opinion as TO the merits OF my
acting. Omit nothing Tell me how /
played and how | looked | have an
Idea that I shall surpass myself this
evening" Now, the great actor used
to go through a tremendous amount of
realistic effort In the part OF Othello
and toward the close of the tragedy
would get into such a disorganized
physical condition that he was all per-
SEPARATION and foaming at the mouth
and presented somewhat shocking
spectacle.
My brother duly occupied a seat in
the front row of the dress circle and
narrowly watched the performance
from beginning to end Then he went
behind the scenes and repaired to
Macready's dressing room. The artist
was being disrobed by his dresser and
was painting with excitement in an
armchair.
"Well, beast, what was It llke2"
My brother told him that he had de-
rived the highest qualification from
the performance and he had never seen
him play Othello more superbly. He
was magnificent in his speech TO the
Venetian senate, the jealousy scenes
with Iago were splendid, the murder
of Desdemona was superb, and he died
inimitably. Macready's face lighted up
more and more as my brother answer
ed his many queries.
"'Tis well, beast" he observed at
last. "'Tls well-very well, and, now,
what was my appearance-how did
look, beast?"
My brother cogitated for a moment
and then, with perfect candor, replied,

To every aspect of the problem Of iife
Herbert Spencer must have given
thought, but he has plainly declared

all human knowledge, that revolutioniz-
ed modern science, that dissipated ma.
teriallsm forever that revealed to us
the ghostly unity Of all existence, that
re-established all ethics upon an i'm.
mutable and eternal foundation-the
mind that could expound with equal
