THE TWO ROME0S.
Mrs. Siddons' Opinion of David Garrick
and Spranger Barry.

Mrs. Siddons' Opinion of David Garrick
and Spranger Barry.
David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time in London. Barry played it at
Drury Lane on the Monday, and Car
rick played it the next night at COvent
Garden, and the town was divided as
to which was the greater ROmeo-in
fact, there was quite great excite.
ment about 1t, and they acted It upon
suck different lines and with such mar
velously different conceptions that the
people argued the case as to which
Shakespeare intended. The fact is that
Shakespeare intended 1t to be acted
well, and If one mans temperament
suited it best to act in that way 1t
would do for another temperament the
other way.
So they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was
the Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo, which she considered better OF
the two, and she said:
cit is difficult to say. They are both
wonderfully great. but / will tell you
how they impress me in the balcony
scene. In the balcony scene Garrick
seems so eager, so intense and so full
of fire and spirit that I'm afraid he'll
jump up in the balcony to me. and Bar
ry is so lovable and fascinating that
I'm afraid l shall have to jump down
from the balcony to him."

THE OLD CIRCUS POSTER.
Pretentious Language With Which the
Show Was Described.

Pretentious Language With Which the
Show Was Described.
The grandiloquent extravaganza OF
language Of the old time circus poster
is illustrated by this reproduction.
which is given verbatim:
"There will be presented resplen-
dent series of sublime, moral, interest
ting, instructive, amusing and wonder
full scenes which would appear entirely
too fabulous if expressed in an adver-
tisement. They must be seen to be
duly appreciated. These great displays
will unfold in all the loneliness and
beauty of enchantment, carrying the
minds Of the bewildered or spellbound
spectators off on the gentle wings Of
the Imagination to such pageantS as
they might dream Of after reading a
few pages of Arabian Nights Enter
tainments' Words are really wanting
to give adequate expression. Web
ster's unabridged fails most signally in
language to fully portray a semblance
Of the reality. Economy may be learn
ed at this great college in a single
evening. Here the visitor will see
splendid specimens of the Zygodacty-
lous race that live upon the earth or
float and poise upon the wings of gold
and silver plume In the cerulean arch,
and in reference to these the corps OF
superintendent in courtly dress will
elucidate the peculiarities of each with
guarded suaviloQuence."

A .ssman.s Complexion.

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use OF cosmetics,
or "local" treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors. :" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches The blosd, purifies the
complexion 1t also cures consti-
patton, bilieusness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A singis
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
Is cents; regular size 70 cents. Al

STRENGTH or AN EAGLE.
Wonderful Power In the Birds Claws
and Legs.

Wonderful Power In the Birds Claws
and Legs.
While l cannot give any positive
proof Of how much bald eagle can
carry. l should suppose, declares a
writer in Forest and Stream. that he
could carry at least as much in pro-
portion to his weight as a hawk or a
horned OWL l have the recorded
weight Of male bald eagle weighing
zine and quarter pounds and q fe-
male weighing twelve pounds.
A horned owl will weigh from four
to five pounds, and I have several
times known one to carry off large
louise cat. One cat was very large,
and the owner told me he could hear
the cat cry as he was being carried
OF. Now, any one who will weigh a
large house cat will find it to weigh
at least ten pounds.
/ have seen goshawk carry off a
hen fully twice its own weight, and /
have taken from a marsh hawk very
large chicken which would weigh
more than twice what the hawk would.
The marsh hawk is one Of our weak
est hawks, but he had carried this
chicken over quarter of q mile. My
belief is that If q hawk or horned owl
can carry more than twice its weight
(and l know positively that they CAM
then an eagle could, If occasion re-
quired, do as much in proportion to
his weight, which would be to carry
eighteen OF twenty pounds.
Once when an eagle, shot through
the body with a rifle ball, lay on his
back I up ended long road skid and
dropped it on him. Before it reached
him he stretched up and caught it in
his claws and held it the length OF
his legs above him. 1 walked up on
the skid and stood above him, and he
easily held me and the skid, which !
should judge would weigh more than
twenty pounds. | took pains to be
weighed the same day and weighed
119 pounds. Put a stick in the claw OF
a wounded eagle and let him grasp O
small tree with the other, and a man
must be stronger than ever was tC
take the stick from him.

A New Playwright

It will be of considerable interest to Alabamians and particularly to Birming- ham people to hear of the success of MT. Roy McCardel as a playwright.
 His success as a newspaper writer has been so long assured that it is useless to speak of that. He at one time was a valued member of The Age-Herald' s staff and going from here to New York has become one of the best known con- tributors to "The World,' his "Mr. and Mrs Jarr' series attracting great deal of attention.
 Some years ago MT McCardell wrote a play entitled Peacock Alley" in com pliment to the well-known fashionable New York hostelry which boasts this fla nous retreat It has never been staged, however although MT. McCardell says he could have produced it long ago and now he has deferred 1t again for his new play which he calls "The Gay Life"
 Miss Consuelo Bailey, who will essay the principal role, says of MT. McCar- dell's play:
 "The part contains both humor and sentiment, and must try to show girl working her way in troubled atmosphere. There is an environment in which something of coarseness and even of squalor exists, but through which she must pass unstained. I hope to be able to portray with sincerity and vividness the growth of this wild flower amid unprom- ising surroundings"

Pads For Women

Dear me! What 1t is possible to do with two yards of white frilling the same amount of ribbon, a narrow strip of fur and few odd remnants:
 From such a collection I saw recently the lovliest ruff, marked s15.50, yet any girl with deft fingers could make one quite as pretty
 The broad ribbon was gathered in the middle to fit the neck the stitches cov- cred with the fur. The frilling was set or both edges and one short end, the lat ter made to overlap the other short end. There was a flat rosette of ribbon to con ceal the hooks and eyes and to support a number of ends In varied lengths.
 Two fur tails were caught in the rosette. Short lengths of fur, cut to taper at one end, will, when sewed to the ribbon with a light stitch. have the appearance of fur tails.

The Christmas Tree

The clever mother has ere now gathered together the decorations for the Christ mas tree to which the little tots are looking forward with so much pleasure
 If she has been very economical she has kept lot of the tinsel, bells, Christ mas balls, artificial holly, mistletoe and other things that were used on last year s tree.
 These decorations may be used from year to year and added to each season making a pretty display each time.
 Christmas Eve without Christmas tree would indeed miss half of its glory. For Christmas Eve is the gateway of the blessed day itself, and is even more exciting occasion than Christmas Day.
 The big tall pine tree Is the best to use for the Christmas tree. It lends it. self to very pretty style of decoration with the glittering tinsel gracefully draped over its branches. The Christ mas bells hung high, the myriads of tiny red and green tapers which are brilliantly lighted, and the big, old good-natured Santa Claus in his red gown, jingling with sleigh bells and all sorts of lovely things in his possession, makes indeed pre- possessing spectacle for the children's s pleasure.

The Little Grave In the Snow

l. I'm a-thinlsin' about the Christmas-fer the children know it's nigh, An the glad worl moves to music, an the stars dance in the sky! Yet I know why this lonesome feelln strikes at my heartstrings so: Fer the gift I'll get rom heaven IS a little grave in the snow.
 II. Spring tried to hide it in blossoms, that my dim eyes might not see; But no blooms, or snows of winter can hide that grave from mel
