Instead of Furnishing children learn
to talk quietly with the little one about
its disobedience or miSbehavior.
Make it plain to the small boy and
girl why they are in the wrong and
encourage them to give a reason for
their misconduct.
Tell them kindly how to avoid sim
liar difficulty in the future. In other
words, make love the basis Of disci-
pline and obedience will be prompted
by the thought that mother or father
will be displeased with an unkind act.

WIT OF AN IRISH STORY.
Lost, as a Rule, When the Tale Is Re-

Lost, as Rule, When the Tale Is Re-
duced to Cold Type.
'Irish wit loses more in reduction to
cold type than that # any other ma
ton on EARTH At least that is the
opinion of a ST. Louis Hibernian who
himself furnishes many excellent ex-
amples Of the article in question.
when an Irishman perpeHates wit
ticism it is always tinged with a per
SOnality which i'll print or even In tho
retelling is often completely lost. There
is always something's wink, smile.
an arch expression, shrug or gesture
that emphasizes the joke and must
be seen to be appreciated. Sometimes
an Irish witticism put into type Is mis-
taken for mere dizziness Of superstition.
''I remember once hearing an Irish
man tell a story about a wonderful old
time king on the north coast who
caught the devil at some trick and fer
a punishment made Old Harry carve
his own head on one of the cliffs. The
story was told as seriously as a ser
mon would be preached. No one could
apparently be more sincere than the
story teller He seemed to believe the
legend as devoutly as though it came
directly from holy writ.
"After he had wound up the nara
tive, noticing a smile on my face, as
stared in apparent surprise. Don't ye
behave it? Sure, the Did kings ham-
mer and chisel is kept in the church
beyant, and what better proof could
We ak? And he gave a wink and a
grin and spread out both hands In q
gesture of expOstulatiOn just as law
yer would when posing before jury
and putting his most convincing argu-
ment in the form of a question
"It was the most exquisite bit of act

conviction in which he told the story
was inimitable; then the contrast fTom
solemnity to comic diSmay at the idea
of any one being so grossly increduheuS
as not to believe the story and the
wink, which indicated that he didn't
believe it himself and was simply talk

any actor that ever uOd the boards.

MACBETH.
A Famous Actors Views on the Sleep
walking Scene.

A Famous Actors Views on the Sleep
walking Scene.
The first time 1 read this tragedy
expected to see the sleepwalking scene
played by Macbeth instead of his wife.
This scene occurs at the beginning of
the fifth act, and not until the gentle
woman and the doctor converse tOgeth-
er are we aware Of the change in Lady
Macbeth's character and of the illness
that has made her weak. A woman
so brutal in her conception and so res
olute in her prOjects-hOw could she at
once lose steadfastness, she who was
capable of saying:
would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have plucked my nipple from his bone
less gums
And dashed the brains out
Such a woman is capable Of commit
ting any crime without losing her i'm
passiveness. l should have preferred
not to see her, even in sleep, wash her
hands of the murder of Duncan. Her
wicked personality would have appear
ed still greater.
l do not believe that Shakespeare
meant the sleepwalking scene for Lady
Macbeth Have you not noticed how
precise the famous writer was in draw
ing his characters? He always tried
to keep them in the same light from
beginning to end. To my mind it seems
impossible that Lady Macbeth should
collapse like that. Instead it would
be more natural in Macbeth. l found
this scene so unnatural that l cut 1T
out in my version.
The explanation may be something
like this: In Shakespeare's day there
were no women players. Perhaps some
of the actors were not satisfied with
the length of their respective parts.
Shakespeare, to keep the peace, may
have shortened Macbeth's speeches and
given them to somebody else.
The tragedy of Macbeth is sublime
display of tragic passion, a pathetic
picture of fate and evil conquering
good. There is no moral, but without
doubt this play may be regarded as
the greatest work of dramatic litera-
ture.-TommasO Salvini in Putnam's
Monthly.

EFFECT OF ORANGE DIET.
Emart Society's Latest Fad For Re-
ducing Too, Too Solid Flesh.


Oranges are sOciety's latest fad for
obesity, and the theory upon which
this fruit is used is that the juice is Il
substitute for food, no other nOurish'
ment being taken except at night, when
the cult declares that the heaviest and
most fattening of dinners may be eat
en- without danger of adding a pound
of flesh.
There is no doubt that the pure
juice is one of the best blood purifiers
and system regulators that are known,
and its effect upon the complexion is
evident after few weeks. The skin
becomes clear and the color fresh,
while the eyes are brighter. This
metamorphosis is not to be expected
in week, of course, but it will come
In time, and the cure is neither SO eX-
pensive nor unpleasant as not to COM
mend itself
According to experts on the subject.
the pulp is to be rejected, for only the
juice is of value. This must come
from sweet, sound and sufficiently ripe
fruit. Sugar with it is not permitted.
The orange diet should be taken as
follows: On waking the juice of one
fruit is drunk, and this should be cold.
A second meal taken about an hour
later than the first should be composed
of the juice of two oranges and must
be slipped slowly. If one is ravenously
hungry there is no objection to taking
at the same time one piece of very thin
and crusty toast. No butter is per-
mitted.
At intervals of two hours throughout
the day juice may be slipped. One or
ange at time is usually enough, for
1t is not to be expected that quarts of
the fruit would allay real pangs of
hunger Another bit of toast is per-
missible during the afternoon, but if
flesh reduction is the object of the cure
the toast must be crusty and dry.
At dinner one is supposed to eat a
hearty meal No sweets or greasy
dishes should be INDUCED in if reduc-
tion of flesh is the aim of the diet.
