THE STAGE KISS.
1t Tests the Genius Of the Actor and the
Actress.

1t Tests the Genius Of the Actor and the
Actress.
The stage kiss is important. There
is nothing which SO tests the genius
of an actor and an actress as the abil-
ity under just such circumstan to
produce the illusion of love. On the
stage it is necessary for them to for
get their own personalities, to smoth-
er their own feelings, one for the
other, and in the place of the warped
though genuine kiss, we see at the
railroad station and the steamship
wharf, present to our eyes by the
magic of their acting a highly arti-
fetal product.
And this highly artificial product,
because it is art and because it is pro-
duced by art, impresses us as real
and genuine where the actually real
and genuine would have filled us only
with derision and contempt, just as
real tears on the stage would fail to
move us. Indeed, the best stage
kisses, the kisses that are most con-
yincing in the way of realism, are
usually given and received by actors
and actresses whose feeling for each
other in private life is, to say the
least, Indifferent. Frequently, if au-
diences only knew, they watch love-
making on the stage between men
and women who are literally at dag
gers points with each other
l would not 60 so far as to say that
such state of feeling always con-
tributes to good stage love-making
and to realistic stage kissing, but l
do know that it is an automatic
truth, recognized by theatrical man
ayers everywhere, not to engage
playfOlk lovers to enact similar roles
in drama if it is at all possible to
get any one else.

FINGER FELONS.
There Are Three Varieties of These Yer,
Painful Sores.


A felon, or whitlow, is an inflam-
nation of the hand or finger, usually
OF the last joint of the finger. Its
Importance varies with the seat of it
that is to say, with the portion of
the finger involved. 1t may affec9
the skin only, the tendonS or sinews
Or the fibrOus covering of the bone
the periOsteum
"A superficial whitlow, where the
inflammation is confined to the skin,
may be extremely painful, but other
wise 1T is not a very serious matter.
But this cannot be said of the other
two forms.
In the tendinous whitlow pus forms
In the flbrOuS sheath surrounding the
tendon, and unless the inflammation
quickly subsidies or the matter is let
out by the surgeons knife the pus
may burrOw down through the sheath
into the palm of the hand and result
in permanent crippling of the MEN,
ber.
The third variety-called by ply
sicians the subperiosteal-is that in
which matter forms beneath the
membrane which covers the bone.
As this membrane is tough and in
elastic the tension due to the increas-
ing volume of matter becomes very
great and gives rise to a throbbing,
maddening pain. The relief afforded
by deep cut into this inflamed fin
ger, right down to the bone, is magi-
cal, although the cut hurts. This is
the only treatment for this form of
felon, and the inciSion should be made
early, for if it is too long delayed the
bone will be killed and discharging
sore will remain which will later ne
cessitate surgical operation even if
it does not result in the loss of the
last joint of the finger.
The superficial whitlow does not
usually call for such radical treat
ment. A clay pOultice often affords
great relief. This may be made by
making paste of clay previously
Sterilized by baking in a very hot
oven and adding glycerin to prevent
too rapid drying, or the clay may be
obtained ready prepared in the drug
store. This protects the finger from
injury, keeps it cool and, if applied
early enough, may prevent the for
nation of matter When once pus
has formed, however, no matter what
the variety of the felon, the safest
plan of treatment is to cut into the
infiamed finger and give exit to the
confined matter and relieve the ten
sinn of the parts.

WOMAN.

She works harder before breakfast
than man works all day.
She shows more pathos in her gen.
tlest sigh than man shows in his
most lugubrious wailings.
She can ecOnomize more with twen-
ty-five cents than man with a dol
lar.
She can dress herself neatly and
attractively for less than it costs a
man for shoes and hats.
She has more patience in opening
q drawer than a man has in laying
the foundation of his fortune.
She displays more grace in falling
out of a hammock than a man dis
plays in his favorite dance.
She has more dignity in a nod of
her head than man has in a bow
that embraces his entire anatomy.
She can show more justice in feed
ing chickens than a whole courtfull of
judges can show in a hundred vol
umes of printed decisions.
She shows more ingenuity in the
things she does with the leftover
boiled potatoes than the greatest in
ventor who ever signed patent spe-
cificatiOn.

CARE OF cANARIES.
NEGLECT Often Entails Much Sufferinf Upon
the Poor Birds.

NEGLECT Often Entails Much Sufferinf Upon
the Poor Birds.
A piece of cutie bone is needed al.
ways, and now and then lump OF
sugar.
Guard the cage from draft, from ex-
posure to cold at night and also from
too much heat.
Canary seed principally should be
given, through now and then little
rape seed is beneficial.
Do not use q painted cage. The
bird will peck the cage more or less,
and the paint thus imbibed is very
injurious.
The larger the cage the better it is
for the birds, and if not new it should
be scalded and well dried before put
ting them into it.
Avoid frightening the bird in any
way. 1t is very easy to have them
know you and welcome your coming,
but they do not like to be handled.
The cage should be thoroughly
cleaned every morning, placing piece
OF clean brown paper, not newspaper,
on the bottom. Perches should also
be washed daily.

Want His Wife to Vote.
At Aberdeen, South Dakota, a
good story is going the rounds how
State Senator Isaac Lincoln was
pinned down bias by several women,
who were making a hard fight to
secure equal suffrage and other legis-

it. With a woman on each side, one
in front, and a wall behind him, he
could not retreat.
We want you to help us to secure
the passage of an anti-cigarette bill;
will YOU vote for it?' said one of the
women.

the woman.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON FRIDAY MORNING. FEB Is 1907
THE OLD MANS REVERE,

The sunlight cleaned on his silvery hair,
As the old man sat in his easy chair
BY the cottage door one day,
And his grey old pipe, as he sat, smoked
he,
And looked through curling smoke to
see
Some children blithe at play.
Their ringing laugh was a mournful
chime,
For it seemed to speak of the olden time
Now dim and far away;
And he thought of the joyous hours and
free
That dawned on his sunny home, when
he
Was little boy at play.
And the fleecy smoke in graceful
wreathes,
As it rose aloft by peaceful breeze
Was softly borne away;
And he gazed as it waved by the old fir
tree,
ALAS. on the wings of Time" sighed
he,
Thus fed my youthful day.
Laugh on, We young, ere the dew Of
youth
With its tender hopes and earnest truth
Is slipped by strife's fierce ray;
For soon shall the waves of reality's sea
Etface these traces of innocent glee,
And dash thy hopes away.
Like fragrance brought on the gale
from afar,
Is the memory OF early days, but ah,
How dim Life's morning ray,
Compared with the glory that soon
shall be
When youth is renewed and the soul
may see
The light of Heavens MONDAY"
The sunlight cleaned on his silvery hair,
As the old man sat in his easy chair
By the cottage door one day,
But only while did the sunbeams
smile,
Fer they went to rest in the golden west.
And thus he passed away.

Comfort for Missy.

fiance in New Orleans. On return
home, an old colored woman, long in
service of the family, and consequent
ly privileged to question, asked:
Honey, when is you goin' to git
married?"
The engagement not yet being an
nounced, the Macon girl smilingly
replied:
Indeed, can't say, auntie; per-
haps shall never marry"
The old woman's jaw fell. Amt

maids is de happiest critters dere is,

Indifestion.

The following cure for indigestion
is recommended by the eminent DR..
Bond in the London Lancet, medi-
cal journal of world wide repute.
The indigestion must be very
hopeless one," says DIR. Bond, which
will not yield to a diet of small cup
of warm milk to which a teaspoOnful
of rum has been added, followed by a
plain biscuit or two and some very
mild cheese, paradoxical as this COM
bination may SEEM"
According to DR.. Bond, there is a
subtle harmony between these ingre-
dientS that does the business.

With Melon Seeds for Ornaments.

When you have a melon don't for
get to save the seeds, for they make
very pretty necklaces when they are
strung together with a needle and
strong cotton. You can make brace
lets by threading the seeds point to
point and putting gilt beads between
them.

England to make a present every
Christmas to all the servants of the

she asked one of her oldest servants
what he would like. He replied,
with due respect, a silver spoon.
The following Christmas he selected
a spoon again. After many years
he had accumulated complete silver

Women of the World,

The wit of Nine. Duse, the great
tragedienne, is well Illustrated by
the following story: She was at a
supper party and the talk turned on
woman's suffrage. A man present
suggested that, of course, women
could not claim equal rights with
men. Man was made first" said
he, and woman sprang from man. "
Quite so, said the great actress
quietly. 1T is natural that the
