OLD TIME ACTING

The old time actor had peculiar
and primitive views as to elecution
and it's uses. I remember a certain
old friend of mine, who when he re.
cited the opening speech in Richard
III, and arrived at the line "in the
deep bosom of the ocean buried sug-
gested the deep bosom of the ocean
by hending his voice down into his
boots. Yet these were fine actors, to
whom certain young gentlemen, who
never saw them constantly refer The
methods of the stage have completely
changed, and with them the tastes OF
the people. The probability is that
some of the old actors Of only a few
years ago would excite much
merriment in their deliniation of ira
gedy. A very great tragedian of a
past generation was wont in the tent
scene in Richard III, to hold a piece
of soap in his mouth, so that, after
the appearance of the ghosts, the
lather and froth might dribble down
his chin! and he employed, moreover,
trick sword, which ratified hide
ously; and, what with his foam-fecked
face, his rolling eyes, his inartculate
groans, and his rafting blade the
small boy in the gallery was scared
into frenzy of vociferous delight.

The Theater As It Is.

The stage is not likely to die OF
| neglect anywhere. But at this mo-
ment it cannot be denied that the
ship of the stage is drifting somewhat
| hither and thither. Every breath or
air and every current of public opin-
| ion impels it first in one direction and
| then in another. At one moment we
may be said TO be in the doldrums OF
| the English society drama or we are
sluggishly rolling along in a heavy
ground swell, propelled by a passing
cats paw of revivals of old melo-
dramas. Again we catch very faint
northerly breeze from Ibsen, or a
southeaster from Maeterlinck and
Hauptmann. Sometimes we set our
sails to WOO that ever-clearing breeze
of Shakespeare, only to be forced out
of our course by a sputter of rain, an
Irish mist, and half a squall from
George Bernard Shaw; but the greater
part OF the time the ship of the stage
is careering wildly under bare poles
with man lashed to the helm (and
let us hope that, like Ulysses, he has
cotton wool in his ears) before a hur-
ricane of comic opera We need a rec
ognized stage and recognized school.
America has become to great, and it's
influence abroad too large, for us to
afford to have recourse to that ancient
and easy method of criticism which
decries the American and extoIs the
foreign. That is one of those last
remnants of colonialism and provin-
cialism which must depart forever

DEADLY TRADES.

Tobacco workers are prone to
deadly nervous diseases. l have never
yet seen tobacco worker who is not
a nervous crank; who is not off in his
head" complained the owner of a
large Bowery cigar factory. Il don't
know why it is; 1 used to be worker
myself, and have never recovered
from the effects of the trade. Half
the time my men are away sick or dy-
ing, they are always ill-tempered and
Eighty, and public agitation makes
idiots of them. don't know the reas-
on, as said" He was advised to con
suit physician and find out.
The foreman in a stone-cutting yard,
when questioned, was better informed
as to the evils of his trade.
''See those clouds of dust all over
the yard?' he said. Consumption.

which is the estimate of one hopeful
citizen, it is fair to say that at least
half of the 25,000,00O paid admission
to the games. Suppose that each OF
ris l2,500000 paid rs cents to wit,
ness his favorite sport. That would
make gross total of $3,125, 900 at the
gate in one season. That begins to
sound more like figures.
Now add to that the car fare which
was expended by each spectator,
where the games were played in large
cities, and the amount which was
handed out to the peanut boy and the
lemonade peddler, and an idea begins
to form that baseball receipts accumu-
late quite total, even if it is the
cheapest and most popular form of
outdoor sport.
Nor is what the spectator pays to
witness the game all that is expected
during the year. Great factories work
day and night to make baseballs, and
men have acquired fortunes in pIac-
ing their wares before the public.
Hundreds of tailors are employed in
making baseball uniforms, and scores
of turner's gain a livelihood turning
out baseball bats, while the forests of
the middle west have been ransacked
to obtain the best timber to provide
the players with sticks to suit them.
Put million of dollars more on
top of the amount paid to see games
and the mark has jumped over $4,000
900. Even that doesn't tell the story.
Clubs exchange large sums in travel.
The railroads and the hotels are bene-
fitted. Spectators frequently journey
long distances to witness matches be-
tween famous mines. At the worlds
series last fall there were three spec
tators who had come all the way from
California to see the Giants play for
the championship. 1t would make
100000 look small to cover all the ex-
penditure on account of travel in be-
half of baseball during the summer
months
The fact is that baseball costs the
people of the United States more than
$5,000,000 annually, and the bill is
growing heavier every year; but so
small is the per capita expenditure
and SO great the enjoyment which is
derived from the game that it is con-
tributed with less complaint and more
open indication of real satisfaction
than any indirect tax" which is lev
led upon the community at large in be-
half Of a good time.

GLASSES WILL NOT INSURE.
Specialized Man Not Unusually Protect
ed by Law Against Assault.

1t is the common opinion that for
striking a man with glasses on there
is a severer penalty than for striking
him under similar circumstances when
he is not wearing glasses. Careful
search, however, does not bring forth
any statutory provision which declares
the offense greater when the man who
is struck wears glasses.
The prevalence of this idea is due,
no doubt, to the probability Of the
judge in such cases giving the con-
victed the extreme penalty. The le-
gal term for assault under such circum-
stances is mayhem" signifying that
the assailant has, in one way or an
other, deprived his victim of the
power of defending himself.
During an alteration from which a
struggle is apt to ensue any one wear
ing glasses would be wise to remove
them, unobserved, if possible, however,
because if noticed it might act as a
signal to begin hostilities.
Many think that glasses would be a
source of general protection in these
cases, and often take advantage on
that ground; but this is wrong, be-
cause no court would hold it worse to
strike a man with glasses on than one
without, unless the assailant struck di-
rectly at his opponents eyes with the
intent to wound or MAIN him. and
whether one We're hit elsewhere would
not enter the case at all.

WORST CASE OF ECZEMA.

Spread Rapidly Over Body-Limbs

''My son, who is now twenty-five

old began to have eczema on his face.
spreading quite rapidly until he was

worst case they ever saw At times
his whole body and face were COW

Great Fortunes Generally Amasseo
by Men Over That Age.
The larger part of the great for
tunes of this country have been accu-
INFLATED after their amassers have
passed 40. In fact, the first forty
years of a mans life are the prepare
tory years-the years of training and
discipline. A large part of this time
he is laying the foundation-just get
ting ready to rear the superstructure.
Many of us stumble around many
years before we get into the right
place and then for additional years we
make many mistakes. Most men do
not get wise until they have passed
40. They may get knowledge before
this, but not much wisdom. Wisdom
is a ripening process. 1t takes time.
At the age when DR.. Osler thinks
men are becoming useless lincoln
was trying to get an appointment as
a land commissioner and failed. At
the same age nobody outside of his
own little community knew Ulysses
S. Grant. He had not then accom-
plished anything of note, and yet he
became the greatest military figure OF
his day.
Every man makes his own deadline.
Some reach it at 35, some at 40,
some at so; some do not reach it at
so, some never reach it, because they
never cease to grow.-O. S. Marden

organization starts with vigor and a
promise of a successful career.
In the future it is proposed to hold
regular monthly meetings, at which a
paper will be read on a topic an
nounced well in advance This will
