The rest OF creation. II is an or day
fresh and stimulating topic. No. sell

The resi- of creation is pretty well
mixed up with the President every
day. But today's news illustrates the
Intervening particularly well. With
in a short twenty-four hours his
hands have gripped the wheels Of
progress by the following spokes:

Whitney gets the ak for either a fatal
density or a willfuI purpose TO misin-
terpret the Presidents declarations

insurance commissioner reports the
Presidents emphatic declaration for
q fuller Governmental control of in
surance companies.

The Theater and the Subsidy.

The chief interest of Mr.. Irving's
life. after he had established himself
at the head of his art. lay in pro-
noting a subsidized theater. His
reasoning was that such an institu-
ton, being free from the necessity
Of making the enterprise pay, could
and would devote itself to the produc-
ton Of the classics, the impersona-
ton of the great characters of the
stage, and the elucidation of the
highest ideals of histriSnic art, and
thus it would prove a continued and
unfailing uplift of the public taste.
A curious chance promises within
month Of his death the establish
ment of such a theater in New York.
where all other enterprise is indi-
vidual. and not in London, where
many enterprises are communistic.
Plans for the New York theater are
vague, of course. But 1t seems prob
able now that a stock company viii
occupy a new and imposing struc-
ture. that classic dramas Will be act
ed exclusively, and that the financial
support viii come from that large
class anxious to wear the mantle of
art without doing its arduous service.
Yet with this theater in New York,
or without it, with this theater in
London, or without it. the course OF
theatrical development among Eng
disappearing playgoers viii continue
according to the definite laws of sup
ply and demand.
The difficulty before the English
speaking dramatic artist is not TO
be surmounted by any artificial de-
vice like a subsidized theater. 1t
must be met, first, with better under
standing Of art in its broadest sense
by actors and patrons alike. Second,
il L.-z. be met with willingness on
the part OF the patrons to support,
with dollars ana cents, the best form
of that art, and on the part OF the
actors TO forego some Of the larger
earnings Of entertainment, If that be
necessary, for the lesser earnings OF
art. There is no other field Of artis-
/ tic endeayor where money is as In
fuential as in the drama Third
that support must be expended with
| Just discrimination
These three influences once al
work, will help the theater as much
as they would help painting, sculp-
ture, music. architecture. They viii
put a stop 10 today's pernicious
tendency to ft actors with parts as
/ tailors fit them with clothes. They
will debar exotic, Overheated se2
dramas Of the problem" play type
They will put a premium on the por'
travail of fine character and the ex'
pression OF beauty. They win, il
short. lift up the stage to the same
exactions and the same rewards as
now control the other arts. And nof
one of the three depends at all upon
a subsidy. The theater IN American
life IL IKE the newspaper In this one
respect at least. it's influence depends
upon its commercial success; an6
t that is altogether as it shOnld be.

PLAYED What He Pleased.

Henry Smart, the English composer,
played q fine organ in Il London church,
and his recital after service attracted
much attention. But II morning att
er a selection from Il OF MoZartS
masses a church warden came into the
organ loft and begged to inform Mr..
Smart that they had decided that they
could not have such jiggy stuff played
In their church"
Very well, SIR" was the answer; ut
shall be altered"
Next Sunday dirge-like sounds pro-
ceeded from the organ, and the warden
congratulated the player on the sol
emn and e~levating effect Of the mu-
sic. Il am glad you like it," answered
Mr.. Smart. "DoubtlesS II l play it q
little quicker you will see the reason
why it affected you" And, suiting the
action to the word, the popular strains
of Jump Jim Grow" resounded from
the organ. After this Henry Smart
played what he liked.-London Telc-

Entdemics Of History.

In the twelfth century not less than
fifteen epidemics of disease and many
famines carried Off the people OF Eng
land. The thirteenth century saw
twenty plaques and nineteen famlnes,
while the fourteenth had a black rec
ord of disease. In 134S the "black
plague" or "black DEATH which was
brought into the country from the
east. caused the death of 100000 per-
sons in London alone, while in Europe
altogether 25,0O0,000 people fell VIC
tins to its ravuges. In 1850 me
Sweating sickness" appeared in Eng
land, causing great destruction or hu-
man life. 1t ~reappeared ut various IN
tervals for a century thereafter. d
last terrible visitation Of the plague
In England was in 1664-66, by Which
100000 lives We're lost in London alone.
This epidemic was followed by the
great fire Of 1866, which destroyed 49,
600 houses, including all he most
densely populated portions OF the city.
The rebuilding of London with some
regard to sanitary laws appears to
have put the first check on the epidem-
ic diseases that had previously deVas
tated it's population.

whine Of Walking ana Riding.

A brisk daily walk or Il ride on horse
back beats any more elaborate forms
Of physical exercise for simplicity com
bined with efficiency. In walking, espe-
cially if the ground is somewhat undu-
lating, a very large number of muscles
are brought into natural and easy play,
sufficient, at any rate, to stimulate the
circulation, Which in its turn compels
full expansion Of the lungs and due
aeration of the blood. The professional
or business man requires no more than
this to keep him fit for his duties, pro-
vided he follows the ordinary rules of
health in respect Of bathing, eating,
drinking and clothing. If he Is aftlict-
ed with a sluggish liver, indigestion or

whole, a man may derive more benefit
