The simple semi-clrcle by which,
minstreIsy vas known some decades
ago has passed. True, native features
remain, bus the scenic artist, the stage
minstreIsy for several years past and
studiously at work on the first part OF
niustrelsy for several years past and
their handIwork is evidenced in a
stage picture that in grandeur and ar
t;stic embellishments equals the most
elaborate scene created for musical
comedy. The evolution of stage craft
Is not alone responsible for the pass
ing of old time minstrelsy, however.
Comedians with new ideas are coming
forward rrd infdsing new life and sen
timent into the humor of the semi-clr.
Gle. Their view of life differs from
that of their brothers of some twenty
years ago. Whine their sense Of humor
may not have changed, they view hui
man naturs from a different prospect.
The introduction Of new individuality
is also responsible for the passing Of
old time minstrelsy. With the AL g.

From the l4th Of July 1889, France
dates her era Of personal liberty,
liberty at first signalized by unbridled
license, out to-day as broad, as firm
and as just as that Of our own great
republic. Like the 4th Of July in the
United States, the l4th in France Is
the national holiday. It does not
mark, as with us, the PRONUNCIATION OF
a declaration of independence, but

For n long time after the stormlng
Of the Bastille nothing definite was
done toward marking the spot where
1t had stood, Napoleon, with his
many plans for identifying Paris,
wished to erect great fountain in
the square, of new kind; colossal
elephant, to discharge incvhaustible
streams Of pure water through its
trunk. The project never advanced
beyond the stage Of n plaster cast OF
the elephant and the building OF a
great circular pier of stone, on which
the figure in bronze was to rest.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHISKEY OR GIMP

The word whisky is OF Irish origin. In
deed, the Irish claim that whisky itself
II or Irish origin. and, moreover, that the
Irish taught the Scotch people how to
make whisky. As for the name, II springs
from the Irish word uisgue. which means
water. The distilled spirit was called by
the Irish in ancient times uisgue beatha,
or life-giving water.
Distillation Is a process said to have
been known 10 the Arabans in remote
ages, but the first author to speak OF II
explicitely--and he speaks OF IL also as
recent discovery-was a chemist who lived
in the thirteenth century Arnoldus de
villa Nova deemed distillation TO be the
universal panacea which all ages had
sought for in vain. The cry OF modern
degeneration was raised even In those
far-off days. and a pupil OF Nova, one
Raymond Lully, OF Majorca, acclaiming
distilled waters as a Divine emanation,
declared that IL was destined TO revive
the energies OF modern decreptitude.' -
This aqua vitate, indeed, denoted the con-
summation OF all things in the brain Of
Lully.

WHAT is DOING WITH
SOME OF THE ACTOR FOLK

Mrs. Kendall the well-known English
actress. has said that. in order 10 become
a good actress, one must have the tenn
per OF an angel, the figure OF a Greek
statue. the face OF a goddess, and the
skin OF rhinocerous."
Madame Nordica, like many grand
opera singers who are fond OF some spe-
cial dish or drink and enjoy preparing II
themselves. always carries about with her
n machine for making Vienna coffee, and
often treats her friends to a delicious cup
of this beverage.
Madame Modjeska Is peculiar in one of
her sources OF enjoyment. for she has ad-
mitted that she derives, much pleasure
from driving through the streets OF Lon
don when they are wrapped in n thorough
London Particular" Whenever she hap
pened to be in London in foggy weather
she would order her carriage and take
drive merely to study the weird fleets
produced by men and vehicles appearing
and vanishing in the pea-soup atmos-
pherc.

Eleanora Duse, the great actress, had.
In her young days, a life struggle and
hardship. She and her parents wandered
about the country. appearing In lowly

who often barely earned enough money
to provide food for the company.
