During Ristoris first engagement at

gained access to her dressing room and
tearfully begged her Intervention on
behalf of her son, young soldier CON

of discipline. At the close of the per-

Queen Isabella, made the required APP

free pardon, perhaps because 1t gave to
HE queen the opportunity Of a mot
that she was certain the actress had
never before played in a tragedy with
such a happy ending. Some years later
Ristori again visited Madrid. During
the first performance a soldier among
the audience made a disturbance, was
elected only after severely damaging
a number of policemen and was sub
sequently sentenced to a long term of
Imprisonment. He proved to be Ris-

her return. had come to the theater In
order to renew his expression of graft

health too enthusiastically beforehand.
with the result that he finally owed
her not only his life, but free board

1t is not usually supposed that any
exercise of the win power can be made
efficient In checking cough or a
sneeze, but a celebrated doctor says
sneezing can be stopped by pressing on
the nerve of the lips In the neighbor-
hood of the nose. Coughing may be
stopped by slight pressure in front Of
the ear This will also stop hiccough-
ing. Pressing very hard on the top Of
the mouth Is also a means of stopping
coughing, and many say the will alone
has immense power. There are various
other affections associated with breath
ing, which can be stopped by the same
mechanism that stops the hearts ac-
ton. In spasm of the CLOTHS, which Is
terrible thing in children. and also in
whooping cough, 1t is possible to afford
