the best efforts of her company, her
efforts fell fiat. Her acting was wood
en-, her tragedy was burlesque, her com"
edy was depressing and she so took her
failure to heart that she early succumb-
ed to disease and died. The whole story
was extremely pitiful, for in almost
any other career the girl who was
talented and beautiful, might have
reached her goal For the stage she
had not the ghost of fitness.
A little country girl brought to the
city for the first time and introduced
to its various pleasures, sees on the
theater stage men and women whose
lives appear to her to be a dream OF
ease and Beauty. The women are
dressed like queens. They wear an
air Of splendor and youth. She is not
near enough to see that there are hol-
low cheeks under the makeup and that
the elegant gowns are sometimes tarn-
ished and tawdry, The fascination of
the drama seizes her and she longs to
become a part of it., If friends allow
her to carry out her plan, she may or
may not gain what she wishes.
The story of Clara Morris in its SUI
perb pluck and splendid daring shows
what a girl who Is a genius and who
does not mind hard work, long hours
and small pay may achieve. But foi
one clara Morris there are hundreds
who simply wear themselves out to nc
purpose. The majority of successful
actors and actresses, especially the lat
ter, have inherited talents from those
| who went before them and have, so tc
speak, been on the stage in babyhood
| If this is an exaggeration, 1t is not toe
much to say that they have been famil-
lar during childish days with the at
| mosphere of the stage and have been
drilled to perform their parts from
childhood on. Even to walk acros,
| the stage as an actress does withou
| apparent effort requires years of pa
| tient training.
No other profession is so arduous
no other so poorly paid in its lowe
| grades no other has so many rivalries
| jealousies and temptation and NJ
| other requires health so perfect ant
work so exhausting as the dramati
| profession,
To say. of it as prejudiced people dc
that it inevitably lowers the staudar'
| of morality among those who adopt ii
is to be narrow and unjust. There ar
good men and good women, charitable
wise, sagacious pure-hearted and clean
living on the stage. but there are YER
many who have not maintained tn
high standard which these have mad
their own. and the girls who as a nov
ice treads the boards will find hersel
strangely disillusionized and will
need to walk carefully and steadfastl
holding herself aloof from insidiou
temptation. If she have a mother o
| elder sister to watch over her so niue
the better. She may come through dan
ger unscathed and be as Una with he
lion. She may carry from her sorrow
full experience a broken heart and
blighted life. ...

BRAZIL LINEN PLANT.
Can the Fiber Plant be Grown In Lou
fsianae


New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The oficials of the Louisiana state
Exneriment stations are interested In
new linen plant, which has peeh ois-
covered, and is being developed IN bra
gil, and, 1t is said, will inaugurate eA
periments to ascertain II the plant
can be successfully cultivated In Lou
isfana. The Brazilian linen plant Is TO
all appearances a weed, which grows
TO a height of from twelve to seventeen
feetA and attains its growth in -FOUR OF
Ave months. Practically no care OF the
plant is necessary, and It's growth Is
said to be so rapid that 1t can be har-
vested in three months, for the plants
grown for fiber should be cut before
towering. In Brazil 1t is possible to
/ grow three crops a year. In LOUISIANA,
| IL the plant thrives in this climate and
| soil. 1t Is thought at least Two crops
per year may be produced. Since the
plant requires 80 little attention alter
| planting, it is thought that large tracts
| of land hitherto idle may be utilized
! for the production of this fiber.
| The technical name of the plant Is
| Canhomo BraZilliensis perini the de-
yelopment of this plant was undertaken
with the assistance of the Brazilian
| Government, and practical tests OF the
quality of the fiber have proved that

| One of the plantations now given over
| to the plant has an area OF ooo'OoV
| square meters and 1t is said that an
other large plantation will soon have
1000, 900 square meters under cultiva-
ton The fiber possesses the Qualities
of strength, hneness and hexibility re-
ouisite for weaving, and other portions
of the plant can be used for valuable
by7products.
The fiber from the plant may be
classed in three grades, the first OF
which corresponds TO the best linen
and the third to European hemp. From
the material furnished by the plant
therefore, the finest linen and the
strongest rope may be manufactured
The residue of the plant Is high grade
celulose which 1t is claimed Is wei
adapted for the manufacture of fint
writing paper. The fiber may be easily
, dyed and bleached.
Estimates based upon the yield of ex
perIments in Brazil place the produc
tf.n of an acre of ground at $4,000
hounds of fiber of two grades. for which
the owners of the plantations have {
