Pliuht of the Actor.

From "Behind the Scenes" by Charles
 Belmont Davis in the Outing Magazine.
 In a way, behind the scenes is a prison. It is surely one of the very few places where intelligent men and women are locked in their place of work and where no message from the outside world is al- lowed to reach them. There is @ tradition that actor folk are of unusually emotion al temperament, and if therefore tele- gram is received at the stage door, it is never delivered until after the perfor- nance The message might be an invita- ton to supper or it might announce that the actors favorite brother had been hang ed or it might be offer in stock com pany to play twelve times a week, or it might tell the actor he was the father of twins or that his wife would die without seeing him unless he came at once to her badside-but all of this information is supposed not to be good for the actors emotional disposition, and the telegram Is therefore given the same distinction as the mash mote" It cannot be said that the actors emotional disposition is very seriously considered beyond the cast-iron rule in regard to telegrams. His comfort and intelligence have been slightly fiat tered in a few theatres of very recent date, but for the most part the condition of behind the scenes in most play-houses is not calculated to breed particularly high thoughts of any

Pay Day on the Plantation.

''The men stand in the front rank, stealthily chewing their quids of tobacco far back in their mouths, and hitching up their loose trousers. The field women stand behind, like the men, in clothing soied from the field work. In separate groups stand the indoor workers, stable men. blacksmths, carpenters, etc. The young boys and girls, who carry water to the fields, stand together. gigglmg over their importance. The old women and men, whose working and pay days are over. hobble near enough to hear and see what goes on. The slekly ones from the quarters are there. and the women with young babies, whom they suckle as they shift from one foot to the other and pass remarks on the pay ing off"
 In this manner Grace King describes q plantation pay day in her story. "The Clodhopper," in the March McClure's. One of the field-women, ,'"rhe Clodhop- per- is the heroine of the tale. and the nobility of her nature is finely brought out in. her struggle and sacrifices for her boy. The writer also shows that the soil and it's hard labor may be a blessing instead of the hrutalizing influence it is so often deemed
