Blood From 9 Stone.

The open terrace In front Of the De
wan-i-Khas consists Of two thrones,
the black one Of which, facing the riV-
er, was cut out Of a single slab OF
stone in 1903. This black throne, which
is about eleven feet long and support
ed by octagonal pedestals, was built
by Akbar in recognition Of his sons
title to the empire. Here Jchangr
used to sit occasionally and see the
fight Of wild animals arranged for his
amusement. The crack on the throne
is believed to have been caused by
Lord Lakes bullet falling upon 1t dur
Ing the attack Of 1903. According to
tradition, however, It cracked when
the Jat king Of Bharatpur sat on the
throne. for it was meant to be used oy
none but the real descendants Of the
great mogul. Then, again, when Lord
Ellenboroush sat Oh it during the ka-
bul war in 1912 blood is supposed to
have come out Of it East Indian

THE ART OF ACTING.
ryhat Amateurs Who Would Become
Stars MuAt Learn.


Stars Muht Learn.
It is surprising to discover how very
differently people who have played
parts all their lives deport themselves
before the footIights. I was acquaint'
ed with a lady in London who had
been the wife Of peer OF the realm.
who had been ambassadress at foreign
courts. who at the time had been a
reicning beauty and who came to me
longing for a new experience and I'm
oloring me to give her an opportunity
to appear upon the stage.
In q weak moment consented, and
as was producing play, l cast her
for a part which I thought she would
admirably suit-that OF a society "o.
man. What that woman did and dldn"'
do on the stage passes all belief. She
became entangled in her train, sne
could neither sit down nor stand up
she shouted, she could not be persuad'
ed to remain at a 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 IL
private life every one thinks ne car
act upon the stage, and there is no pro
fession that has so many critics. Every
individual in the audience Is a critic
and knows all about the art Of acting
But acting is a gift. 1t cannot oe
taught.
You can teach people how to act act
ing, but you cannot teach them to act
Acting Is as much an inspiration as tne
making Of great poetry and great pic
lures. What Is commonly called actlns
Is acting acting.-Rlchard Mansfield II

Long Lawsuit Ended

The two villages Luceran and LIN.
conque, in the. .Alpes Maritdmes, have
just held a celebration In honor Of the
ending Of great lawsuit which has
kept the two villages divided ever
since November Il, 1852. The ques-
tion In dispute was the possession Of q
piece Of land at Lova, which each viii
lage claimed. a feE days age the
court at N:cs definitely settled t'ie
matter by dividing the land equally
between the villages. The total cost
Of the lawsuit during the 444 years
amounts to about $3.50. 600, while the
value OF the land In dispute was about
81, 900. Tie legal documents which
had accumulated IN the course Of the
centuries were docketed In 1856 par
cells, which weighed 16 tons, and were
stored in large disused church.

blind Justjce So-CalIed.

Freedom for a man who pleaded
guilty to selling merchandise valued
at nearly 100000, which did not be-
long 10 him and appropriating the
money and six years in prison for
another who stole 25 cents, were the
portions meted out to two prisoners IN
New York court a short time ago.
Henry Hirschman was a member OF
the firm of Hirschman Brothers, job
bers in mems furnishings, in 1903 and
1904. 1t is alleged that by deceit the
firm obtained high commercial rat
ing on the strength Of which they
bought 100000 worth OF goods on
credit, disposed of them at a forced
sale for cash and invested the proceeds
in real estate;
Then they sailed for Europe. Ac-
tion taken by the creditors forced
the firm into bankruptcy and Last
year the brothers were indicted for
grand larceny. When Henry was az
raigned and entered a plea Of guilty, a
representative of the creditors appear
ed, in court and asked that sentence
be suspended, as the pri oner and his
brother had made partial payment
and promised to make complete salts
faction. Henry's brother, Joseph,
probably will not be broughtto trial.
The man who went to prison
was J Ohm Clark, who has 20 home. He
is IS years old and had served two pre-
vious sentences in Sing Sing. Clark
was walking up the Rowery a week
ago when he saw barber standing ln
front Of his shop Tipping a silver
quarter in the air. Clark sprang upon
him seizing the coin and started to
run away. He had gone but q few
steps when he ran into tie arms OF
a policeman. II had to do this OF

he was arraigned for sentence.

TIE CATTLE TICK,
Some Facts About 1t Not Generally
Known to All.

The common cattle tick Is famil.
lar sight to all our people but very
few outside Of these engaged In the
cattle business realize the important
part it plays In hindering the develop
ment OF the cattle industry in the
state. The cattle tick carries the
germ" that causes Texas fever, 2
disesse very fatal to grown cattle.
Cattle that are raised on land infest.
ed with ticks are inocGlsted with the
germ by becoming infested with ticks
Immediately after birth. At this age
they suffer q very mild attack OF the
disease with no visible external symp-
toms and after they have passed
through 1t they are then proof against
the infection and can be exposed to
ticks later in life without harm. But
il cattle are raised on land on which
there are no ticks and are afterwards
moved to tick.infested lands, they
will become infected with the disease.
They will also suffer from the disease
If they remain on the land on which
they were raised and tick. infested cat
tie are introduced among them.
Because OF these facts the Federal
Government has established q quaran
tine line across Ghe country dividing
the regions infested with ticks from
these in which there are no ticks n.
cattle can be moved from the tick in
tested regions across this quarantine
line except when they are being ship
ped for butchering to slaughter
house which has direct railroad con.
nection. South Carolina is plsced be.
low this quarantine line among the
tick. infested regions. Hence, cattle
cannot be shipped from this state ta
points above the quarantine line e1-
cept for immediate slaughter. Cattle
for dairy purposes, or for feeding or
breeding are barred. Thus, the market
for the csttle produced In the state Is
considerably restricted.
Some Of the states include within
the tick. infested srea, notably Vir.
ginia, North Carolina, Texas and Ok
lahoma, which had within their boun
daries an area in which ticks exist, d
only on q few farms or ranches, have
succeeded in having such areas placed
above the quarantine line, thus open
ing new markets for the cattle raises
therin. This was accomplished by the
passage OF a law by the legislature es-
tablishing state quarantine dividing
the slightly infested area from the
other part Of the state and the eradi,
cation Of the ticks from the infected
places in the slightly infested area.
When these conditions we're brought
about the state quarantine line was
then adopted by the Federal Govern
ment and made part OF the national
quarantine line. This plan is just IS
teasable in South Carolina as In any
Of the states mentioned. In a great
part Of the state since the passage OF
the stock law the cattle tick has be-
come almost extinct and exists only
on place here and there. The first
step in the matter, however, must be
taken by the legislature.

STALKS PAPER COMPANY.
The Tradesman Cautions Intending
Investors to Look Carefully
into the Business.

The Chattanooga Tradesman in Its
next issue will call attention to re-
Gently organZ-d company that has
been herslded by its promoters IS one
Of great value to the South, in thst it
converts hitherto waste product into
articles OF daily consumption and
great commercial Importance thereby
sdd;ng many millions Of dollars to
the productive wealth Of the South.
This company Is styled the Cotton
Stalks Products company, and was In.
corpora5ed under the Laws of Maine
with q cspitsiis .tiol CT SIS, 900, 900 as
stated In the original announcements
made concerning it, although another
statement from one OF the promoters
gave the information that this capi-
5al zation was OF the basis OF S3,000,'
900 of pr cent. preferred stock and
s12, ,0G0, 900 OF common stock.
In reply to a letter from The Trades.
man TO NJ. ". P. G. Harding, Of B,r.
ningham, president CT the First Ms
5ional bank Of that city, and who was
1aued Is one e the directors Ct this
:mpany, MI. Harding makes the fol
lowing statement:
The understanding, however, upon
which 7 authorized the use OF my
osne as 8 director, is distinctly that
ally so much of the stock, probably
about s300,0C0, shall be cfsred fol
sale at present, as may be necessary
to build. eq,ip and finance one mill,
% bs located at some eligible point.
a2d that future stock cf f.rings to the
su5lic are to be based entirely upon
.hs actual results obtained by this
Mill"
In the announcement made Of the
promotion OF this company, together
with 40 explanation Of it's plans, ano
"! ich appeared exclusively In the
Nav York Commercial, such details
are given as would indicate that the
enterprise had passed the experiment
tai stage, for in the body OF that an
ncurcement, Har7ie Jordan, its pres
ident, is qaoSed as saying: Paper
manufac 1ured from cotton stalks is Of
she strongest texture and sofdest I'm,
isn. Several plants will be erected
during the next few months 10 certain
sections OF the South, which will be
in full operation by January 1, 1907" F."
F:om this statement one would
naturally infer thai the company was
possessed OF abundant capital already
With which to inaugurats its plans.
f-r Mr. Jordan distinctly says "seve'
ra: plants" are to be erected In the
next few months, and yet Mr. Hard
Ing says IN effect that the company is
without money and will rely on sales
OF stock to secure funds to erect an ex
oerimsntal plant and on the pcac5ica!
results OF which al future sales Of
stock are to depend.
From these COZ ficting statements
TIE Tradesman feels warranted In
suggesting to the cotton producers
/ and people OF the South that they de-
nand frcm the officers Of this compa
ny the fullest explanation OF its plans
and how It's capital stock has been
distributed and for what an tQliVa.
len; and We r:ousst the press OF the
South to a;d US in this matter to the
end that no stock Ct this company
shall be sold or offered for sale save
