THE ART OF ACTING.
What Amateurs Who Would Become
Stars Must Learn.


1t is surprising to discover how very
differently people who have played
parts all their lives deport themselves
before the footlights. l was acquaint-
ed with a lady in London who had
been the wife of a peer of the realm,
who had been ambassadreSs at foreign
courts, who at the time had been Il
reigning beauty and who came to me
longing for a new experience and inn
ploring me to give her an opportunity
to appear upon the stage.
In a weak moment | consented, and,
as / was producing a play, | cast her
for a part which l thought she would
admirably suit-that of a society wo-
man. What that woman did and didn't
do on the stage passes all belief. She
became entangled in her train, she
could neither sit down nor stand UP,
she shouted, she could not be persuad
ed to remain at respectful distance
but insisted upon shrieking into the
actors ears, and she committed all the
gaucheries you would expect from an
unframed country wench.
But because everybody is acting in
private life every one thinks he can
act upon the stage, and there is no pro-
fes5ion that has 50 many critics. Every
individual in the audience is Il critic
and knows all about the art of acting.
But acting is gift. 1t cannot be
taught
You can teach people how to act act
ing. but you cannot teach them to act,
Acting is as much an inspiration as the
making of great poetry and great pic
lures. What is commonly called acting
is acting acting.-Richard Mansfield in
Atlantic.

Two hundred years ago, when men
and women were condemned to death
for trivial offenses, it was the custom
in Scotland to commute the death SEN
tence into perpetual servitude to speci-
fed masters. In other words, the con-
demned person became slave. 1t
was further ordained that he should
wear a metal collar round his neck re-.
cording his sentence and punishment.
The Society of Scottish Antiquaries
owns one of these collars, fished out
of the Forth above Alloa. 1t is brass,
with this inscription: Alexander Stew

Perth, 9TH December, 1701, and gifted
by the Justiciars as perpetual sery-
ant to Sir John Aresken of Alva."

Women Who Wear Well.

II is astonishing how great change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comelineSS. Nearly
a million women have found health and
happiness in the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t makes weak wom-
ents on labeI-contains no alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs, made
wholly of those native, American, medic
inal roots most highly recommended by
leading medical authorities of all the sew
eral schools of practice for the cure of
woman's peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers, or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children, also for the expectant mothers,
to prepare the system for the coming of
baby and making its advent easy and
almost painless, there is no medicine quite
so good as UFavorite Prescriptions 1t
can do no harm in any condition of the
system. 1t is most potent invigorating
tonic and strengthening nervine nicely
adapted to woman's delicate system by
physician of large experience In the treat
ment of woman's peculiar ailments.
