Tragedy of the Stage Sometimes
Affects the Mind.

SO many actors have been madmen
at some period Of their careers that it

tween that degree of madness which
seems to be necessary to the constitu-
ton of every fiery player and that de-
gree that makes for the madhouse
rather than the hall of fame. The elder

more. John Mccullough and others
have had their madness find them out
and have been placed away. Yet other
players that are at large and acting
every night have habits as freakish as
some of those which the sure-enough
crazy actors possessed.

they are a little crazy" said respon-
sible manager not long ago, in discuss
ing the actors he intended to engage
to play a serious dramatic work. "Your
stolid, phlegmatic fellow is of no use
on the stage except to handle trunks -
Acute sensibility is a thing much to
be desired on the stage It exists in
many men and women. Many of those
players who do not inherit get it by
environment. It does not take a young
player long to pick up the cant phrases
and the jargon that pass as language
in stageland. Sometimes he gets only
the sign manual and poses for the rest.
But sometimes the footlights and the

Though it is being done quietly. so
quietly that few people who are in the
immediate vicinity where it is going on
do not realize it. Cuba is losing great
wealth of valuable timber lands, says
the Havana (Cuba) Post, and no meas
ures whatever are taken to prevent the
impoverishing of the island in this re-
Spect. This matter has become of such
Importance in the United States that a
conference of governors is to be held to
consider the matter. In Europe fores-
try has become a science. Many cen
mries ago these countries were menaced
by just what Cuba is menaced by to-
day. A Northern colleague says that
as result the protection of the wood
lands and the planting of trees have
become as much a governmental actiy-
ity as the levying of taxes or the car
rying of the mails All nontillable areas
are set out in forests, care is exercised
in the cutting of timber and as far as
possible waste is eliminated. America
has now reached the point where SINH

Objections to the long cruise of the
battleship fleet have never been numer-

ardent applause of it he should consult
the parents who have been accustomed
to help the children at their home les

consequent publicity, these fathers and

about geography as their boys and

solemnly enacted that 'any woman

hair or any other thing false in connec-

paints or cosmetics would be punished
