MEN PAST FIFTY IN DANGER.

Men past middle life have found
comfort and relief in Foley's Kidney
Remedy, especially for enlarged pro-
state gland, which is very common
among elderly men. L. E. Morris,
Dexter, Ky, writes: up to year
ago my father suffered from kidney
and bladder trouble and several physi-
Coians pronounced it enlargement of
the prostate gland and advised an
operation. On account of his age we
were afraid he could not stand it and
I recommended Foley's Kidney

him, and after taking the second bottle

lean Playwright Certainly Earns
His Money.

A budding playwright, who writes
sketches for vaudeville performers,
has a novel form of contract which
he draws up with all Of his clients. 1t
stimulates that the writer shall pro-
duce an act that will bring 20 hearty
laughs from any audience, and pro-
vides that the author shall be paid
two dollars per laugh. If his act fails
to bring the ha-has, he must rearrange
it so that it will. Every laugh above
the 20 brings him two dollars extra,
and more than one curtain call means
an additional five dollars for him.

Rachel's Chief Triumphs.

From the Century.
OF all the tragedians and comedians
using foreign tongue who have tried
their fortunes in the United States, not
one arrived with a greater fame to sup
port than did the slender Alsatian Jewess
known on the stage as Rachel. Rumors
Of her temper, her morals and her con-
quests. of her love of money and her au-
dacities, although greatly exaggerated,
did not fail to stimulate interest in her
sharply defined character. and fully made
up for the obvious disadvantage under
which she labored through the use of 4
language unknown to the majority of her
audiences.
At this date 1t would be useless to weigh
the merits of Rachel in comparison with
actresses like Duchesnois. Ristoria, Sarah
Bernhard, Helena Modjeska and Eleanora
Duse. Her chief triumphs were won with
plays that have become old fashioned
The public finds Corneille too stilted, and
even Racine's comedies have suffered
eclipse. Since her day the stage has risen
so far as the proprieties of life are con-
cerned; it's moral and social tone IS
higher. Actors and actresses are no
longer required to be Bohemians. What
they have lost in picturesqueness they
have gained in other ways, chiefly, one
may say. I'm the right, like other artists,
to live their own human lives apart from
their profession.

To Legalize Tipping.

While praiseworthy attempts are being
made in London to minimize the tipping
system, a movement has been started in
Berlin to make the custom compulsory.
The cafe walters in the kaiser's capital
have formed themselves. into a union
with the object of legalizing tipping.
They have drawn up a scale of tips and
passed resolutions TO enforce it. If the
order a customer gives in a restaurant
amounts to three shillings he will be ex-
pected TO tip the waiter to the tune of
IL per cent. If the order is over three
shillings the "kellner'' will be content
with a tip Of 10 per cent. In the larger
restaurants the waiter will be satisfied
with a modest s per cent tip If the bill
amounts TO 81. The restaurant keepers
protest against this tariff of tips. which
they consider will interfere with their
business, but the walters refuse to give
way.
