theatrical atmosphere, and at ten she
was playing Ariel.
AS she grew up she became very
beautiful aud had many admirers,
among whom was Henry Siddons, a
young actor III her fathers company,
girls heart. Mr.. and Mrs. Kemble had
made up their minds that Sarah should
not marry in the profession, in cOnse-
quence of which they strenuously op-
posed the marriage, and young SiddonS
in n fit of retaliatory humor composed
q song detailing their opposition and
his trials, which brought about his
speedy dismissal from the company.
Sarah left the company too. and hired
out as lady's maid in Warwickshire for
two years.
During this time the lovers carried
OH lively correspondence and finally
gaining the reluctant consent of the
Kembles, were married at Trinity
church, Coventry in 1913, when Sarah
was eighteen.
1t is said that Mr. Kcmble told her If
she ever married an actor 1t would
make him discard her forever. After
her marriage he said. II may forgive
you without breaking my word. for you
have certainly not married an actor
whatever the gentleman himself may
think is his vocation" This Is on au-
thority of Lady Eleanor Butler, who
knew the persons.

The Eye of Il Child.

Who can explain or fathom the Won
drous instinct Of the child? Lying in
the arms of its nurse, in it's carriage or
elsewhere. its large, round, wondering
eyes roam over Il sea of faces till sud
denly its features break into a sweet
smile, a baby laugh dances in it's eyes,
perhaps the tiny hands are extended,
and the little body gives a bound as
though it would throw itself through
space. What has happened? 1t has
recognized Il friend, nothing more and
no less. 1t makes no mistake. Wiser,
perchance. in that moment of ineXperi-
enced helplessness than it will be years
afterward, when the world and its in
mates have been studied in the LIGHT
of instruction and experience, its love
Offering is seldom if ever mistakenly
presented. BY what power is this child
love directed? BY what subtle intlu-
cncc does it see and knew what in
after years it may strive in vain to
discern?

There Are Two Classes, the Genuine
and the Pretenders.
1t has sometimes been said that fish
ermen cannot be manufactured. This
Is true to the extent that nothing can
supply the lack of certain Inherent
constitutional and Unborn qualities OF
traits which are absolutely necessary
to fisherman's makeup. OF course
there are many who call themselves
fishermen and who insist upon their
membership in the fraternity who have
not in their veins Il drop Of legitimate
fisherman blood. Their self asserted
relationship Is nevertheless sometimes
seized upon by malicious or ignorant
critics as permitting the assumption
that the weaknesses and sins of these
pretenders are the weaknesses and
sins Of genuine fishermen. But in
truth these pretenders are only inter
lopers who have learned a little fish
language, who love to fish only when
they bite" who whine ut bad luck,
who betray incredulty when they hear
rOusing fish story and who do or
leave undone many other things fatal
to good and regular standing. They
are like certain whites called squaw
men who hang about Indian reserva-
tons and gain certain advantages In
the tribes by marrying full blooded In
dian women. Surely no just person
would for moment suppose that gen
uine Indians could be treated fairly by
measuring them according to squaw
man standard. Neither can genuine
fishermen be fairly treated by judg
ing them according to the standards
presented by squaw Instrumentation

suing from pipe six inches in diane
ter, with fall behind it Of 375 feet,
will carry away solid rock weighing
ton or more to distance Of fifty or
a hundred feet. The velocity Of the
stream Is terrific, and the column Of
water projected is so solid that If
crowbar or other heavy object be
thrust against it the impinging object
will be hurled Il considerable distance.
BY this stream of water man would
be instantly killed If he came in con-
tact with 1t even at n distance of

from the nozzle a six inch stream, with

against the trunk of tree will in a

an AK. Whenever such stream is
turned against bank it cuts and bur
rows it in every direction, following
out great caves and causing tons of
earth to melt and fall and be washed
away in the sluiceS.

JAPANESE SAINTS.
The One Most Beloved by the People

Among the many Buddhist ShintO
saints, whose quaint etiigies set up In
every conceivable nook and corner Of
Japan make 1t country of craven
images" one Of the most impressive
and interesting Is the pathetic person
called BinZuru. He was once upon a
time a member of that strange COM
pany Of Buddhist disciples known as
the sixteen Rakkan." But one day
he fell from grace by remarking upon
the attractions Of woman, and he
was expelled from the society Of
chaste brethren. The great Buddha
gave him, in return for all that his
worldliness had cost him, power to
heal human I'D. and to grant the
prayers of childi..ss women who long
ed for motherhood. But he was put
outside the temples. He must hence
forth sit without, in the midst Of the
passing throng. and submit himself
to personal contact with all that was
unclean and healthless. The simple
hearted people love him. l think,
above all saints. His wooden images
in the temple pOrches are the strangest
objects in all Japan. They give him
soft cushions to sit upon, and he is
always clothed in quaint little cotton
stuff collars and Mut'!ers in all sorts Of
soiled looking colors. and on his head

from the haunts Of men and civilization
that even the more daring travellers and
lecturers have not ventured there, much
as they might have been tempted by
the glorious scenes. 1t remained for
Lyman H. Howe to secure the first real

moving pictures can be better imagined
than described-especially after seeing
them But they are entirely forgotten
in the light of the great success that
crowned Mr. Howe's efforts to secure
them. Just as the original discovery of
Victoria Falls was the crowning
achievement of DR.. Livingstone's life
of exploration. so, only in a lesser de-
gree is it a eliminating achievement of
Mr.. Howe to be the first to reveal the
true sweep and wonders of the Falls in
a reproduction so comprehensive and re-
