MARY ANDERSON
/. ADVISES GIRLS NOT
:. TO co ON STAGE
Unless They Have Marked Tai
ent for Acting They Are
Sure to Regret 1t.

Mary Anderson, who was the queen
Of the American stage UP 20 the time
Of her retirement. when she married
Antonio de Navarro. reached New
York to-day. She is on G visit from
England with her husband and her
twelve-year-old son and three ear-old
daughter. She brought some advice TO
young girls contemplating stage
career.
Il would not advise the average young
girl to seek the stage" said Mrs. de
Navarro. "Only those who are possessed
OF great talent are able TO enjoy the
fruits of their efforts. The life of the
mediocre actress is very hard and un-
satisfactory. Young girls would do bet
ter to seek employment as teachers, or
In other lines. The returns in the long
run Will be more satisfactory, both in
happiness, health and financially.
THE theatrical profession is easy to
enter and hard to leave. 1t rewards It's
favorites. but Furnishes those who do
not possess more than ordinary ability.
1t should not take long for young
woman to discover whether or not she is
really adapted TO stage life or is doome
to spend her life in MINOR positions.
Il lett the stage without regret, but l
look back to my life as an actress as a
pleasant memory. The public was kind
TO me, and l retired at a time when it
appeared that playgoers wished me 10
remain and entertain the Il. l have a
horror of the thought of ever having 10
go back and play old woman parts, for
instance.
Il have been told that reports have
been circulated in New York that
shall take part in theatrical entertain
ments during my stay here. These re-
ports are uniounded. l snail never re-
turn to the stage III any way. 1 shall
not take part IN any theatrical per
formance IN New CORK. My occasional
appearances in public in England have
been in the interest OF some charity
Mary Anderson has retired forever"
Miss Anderson has not been in this
country for eight years. She and her
husband and their children will stay in
New York at the home OF Mr.. De Ma

The first clash between the police and

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM.
MENTS FOR SEPTEMBER 20.

Review Of the Eleven Preceding Les
sons For the Third Quarter
Golden Text, 2 Samuel SIP
Read Psalm 1S.
Golden Text: "And David per-
ceived that the Lord had established
him king over Israel, and that he had
exalted his kingdom for his people
I~srael's sake" 2 Sam. 5:12.
Each of the lessons of this quarter
teaches us something about the prin-
ciples upon which God deals with men
and something also about how men
treat God.
In Lesson I. we see the constant
disposition Of the human heart to re-
ject God and to refuse to have Him
rule over U.S.. We see also when men
choose some one else before God, He
lets them have their own mad choice
in order that they may learn their
folly by bitter experience.
In Lesson II. we see again the dis
position Of the human heart to reject
God, even after He had saved US out
OF all u calamities and distresses.
In Lesson III. we see Gods long
suffering toward those who reject
Him and His love in bringing His IN
grateful people to q consciousness of
their sin and His unwillingness to for
sake His people.
In Lesson w. we see that the one
thing that God demands from His
servants is obedience, and how If n
rejects the Word of the Lord, the
Lord will also reject him.
In Lesson v. we see that when one
servant fails God He chooses another
to fill his place and anoints him with
the Holy Spirit that he may be quail
fed for the work to which he has
been called.
In Lesson VI. we see how the Lord
gives victory to those who trust in
Him and He saves, not with the sword
and spear, but by the power of His
own name.
In Lesson VII. we see that the Lord
is with the one that trusts and obeys
and gives him favor with men and
makes him the terror of His enemies.
In Lesson VIII. we learn how God
delivers His servants yer in times Of
greatest peril.
In Lesson TX. we see that God de-
livers our enemies into our hands, but
that vengeance belong unto Him.
In Lesson x. we see the awful fate
of the one whom God had rejected
and how God clears the way for the
one who leaves his cxaltation entirely
in Gods hands.
In Lesson XI. we see that God will
guide the n who commits his way
unto Him and leans not upon his own
understanding, and that God deals
with us as we deal with u fellow
men.

Must Keep Up Roads.

According to a recent ruling OF tne
Postofice Department farmers deslr'
ing to continue to receive mail by ru'
raj delivery must see to it thai the
condition of their roads is maintained
at a high standard to enable carriers
to deliver mail with ease and faclllty'
This ruling should succeed in awak'
ening the farmers in many sections
to the necessity of keeping up their
roads. Not only will it be a beneht
to them in the more speedy delivery
of their mail, but the hauling OF crops
is cheaper on a good road than on a
moor one. The withdrawal of the ru'
raj mail delivery would work a
hardship now that it has become sucn
a necessity in the daily life OF a com
munity, so it is likely the farmers
who have this privilege will see TO II
that roads are kept up to the tana'
ard set by the Postofice Department.

The SIlort-Lived Dog.

Surely it is by an unfortunate dis
~pensation of nature that the dog,
beyond all question the chief friend
of man among the other animals,
should have a normal length Of life
which is no more, on a fair computa-
ton, than one-seventh of his own.
There is no other figure which ex-
presses the relative ages of man and
his dog so we'll. The puppy of one
year is about at the same canine age
as the child of seven. At two years
he is probably a little more advanced
than a fourteen-vear-old boy, but the
canine age of three is very nearly
equivalent to the human twenty-one.
And so it continues through all the
years of canine and Of human prime
respectively, the ratio fairly we'll
preserved. 1t has to be admitted
that the old age Of the dog, thus
computed, outlasts the old age Of the
man. One hears stories which seem
to be fairly authentic of dogs living
up to eighteen, and if we do hear
stories of human beings living SINH
larly up to 1875, at least we do not
believe them. But such an age for
a dog is quite the extreme limit. The
dog of ten years approaches the
equivalent of the three score and ten
which had been named as the fair
end Of the human creatures tether,
and on the whole the multiplication
of canine years by seven all through
the stages of life gives the CORE
spending age Of man better than any
other figure given it.-Westminster
Gazette.

Broiled Bananas.

Another hostess has a way of broil-
ing bananas. The bananas are slit
lengthwise twice and a half inch OF
peel is stripped off, leaving the fruit
in the large part; the body of the
fruit should then be opened a bit and
a pinch of salt, another of pepper,
and a bit of lemon juice can be put on
the exposed fruit, and the whole left
Cor half an hour, so that the season
ing may soak in. The butter should
be spead over the opened part. The
bananas should then be laid in a not
too hot broiler, with skins down, and
broiled very gently until lightly
Drowned. They should be served In
the skins, which If properly handled
will retain the juices formed while
cooking, and a truly delicious morsel
will be the result.

God is Leading.

No room for a discouraged or de-
pressed feeling is left you. If your
sphere is outwardly humble, If it even
appears to be quite Insignificant, God
understands it better than you do,
and it is a part of His wisdom to bring
out great sentiments in humble con-
ditions, great principles in works
that are outwardly trivial, great char
acters under great adversities and
heavy loads of encumbrance.
Let it fill you with cheering and ex-
allied feeling, however deep in OBJ
security your lot may be, that God is
leading you on, girding you for a
work, preparing lou for a good that
is worthy of His divine magnlficence.
If God is really preparing US all to
become that which is the very highest
and best thing possible, there ought
never to be a discouraged or uncheer-
full being in the world.-Horacs

will induce sleep after eating.
A hole in the spout of an agate tea
kettle can be mended by cutting a
small piece of cork and forcing it into
the opening.
Cucumber and radishes served on
lettuce hearts and covered with
French dressing makes an appetlzlng
and seasonable salad.
Do not neglect to frequently pour

To make a rubber plant throw out
branches tie a small sponge around
the main stem where a leaf joins ana
keep it moist all the time.
When cutting a tomato pass the
knife frequently over the freshly u
surface of a large onion. The result
ing flavor is indescribably delicate.
To prevent cheese from getting
mouldy, wrap it in a cloth that has
been dipped in vinegar and wrung as
dry as possible. Keep in a DOL place.
A small glass of jelly beaten, a lit
tie at a time, into the cake or pudding
frosting, will add greatly TO It's ap-
pearance and taste. A little colorlhg
adds to it's attractiveness.
Persons whose hands easily become
rhanped should thoroughly rinse the
hands with fresh water after they
have been washed with soap, being
rareful to wipe them perfectly dry.
For okra soup such as II finds in
the South, boil slowly a shin of beef

The Prayer That Prevails.

1t has been said that every true
prayer has a foreground and a back
ground. The foreground Of prayer is
an intense, immediate desire for
something which seems necessary to
the soul; the background is the
earnest desire that the will of God,
Whatever it may be, shall be done.
Leave out the foreground, and there
is danger Of fatalism. Leave out
the background, and only an express
sion of self-will is left. The perfect
prayer-tne prayer that prevails
must have background and fore
ground, desire and submission.-T

New Peach Pudding.

A peach and chocolate pudding Is
an English novelty that will appeal to
those fond of the latter, and withal
1t is inexpensive, as canned or timed
peaches are used.
Take one pint tin of peaches, add

soft; sweeten If liked and then beat
them to a pulp. Boil four ounces Of

The Winds That Strengthen.

The air from the sea of affection is
extremely beneficial to invalid Chris
tians, says Spurgeon. Continued pros
perity, like a warm atmosphere, has
a tendency to unbind the sinews and
soften the bones; but the cold winds
of trouble make us sturdy, hardy and
well-braced in every part. Unbroken
success often leads to an undervalu-
ing Of mercies and forgetfulness Of
the Giver; but the withdrawal of the
sunshine leads us to look for the sun.
