BEHIND THE SCENES.
Difficulties With Which Young Actor
Had 70 STRUGGLE.

Had to Struggle.
An actors life, although often
interesting and frequently useful,
is by no means easy. When Fred
erick Warde, the English tragedian,
brought his wife and children to this
country to i've with him while he
made his way here he was, after
various ups and downs, engaged by
Mr.. Booth to play certain promi-
nent parts. In "Talks In a Ii
brary" Mr.. Laurence Hutton re-
lates some of the difficulties with
which the young actor had to strug-
gle.
The company, long associated
with Mr.. Booth, with the single
exception of Warde, was not as
Sembled, and there could be but
one or two rehearsals before the
first performance. Warde had nev-
er even seen the play of "othello"
and had no idea how to dress it
very important item to man
who had little money to devote to
costumes.
There we're, of course, profes-
sional persons who could have fitted
him out from wig to sandal, but
to those he could not afford to 90.
he read the tragedy many times,
studied his part till he was what is
called Setter perfect" and at the
Astor library copied many draw
ings, colored by his own hand, of
the dresses he had to wear. These
garments and effects were made
out Of the cheapest material from
his own patterns, cut and sewed BY
his wife, and for six weeks nothing
in that house was thought of or
talked about but "0thelIo."
The young man, realizing what
it all meant to him, was exceeding
ly anxious about the results, as
was his wife. They lived in a poor,
humble little apartment, and he
was to take a midnight train to
the scene of his great effort only a
day or two before he was to make
his debut in one of the most i'm
portant and trying parts of the
English drama.
went to the train with him, and
Just as we were starting Mrs.
Warde came down and said:
1--WE Just been putting the chill
dren to bod, and l must tell you
what Arthur PRAYED"
Arthur was then lad not out
of his frocks. 1t seems that the
child, kneeling by his little cot, had
gone through the regular formula.
"0ur Father" F'Now l lay me"
please, God, remember papa and
mamma and little sister and dear
grandmother in England" and had
then added, as an impromptu, "and,
0 God, do please help papa through
with f0thello.'
| I told this story at dinner one
night, as l am trying to tell it now,
and was startled by an inquiry
from the wife of a clergyman, who,
with wonder and doubt in her voice,
demanded, ''Do you mean to tell
me that actors children say their
prayers?"

OUR OLD TREES.
californis's Giant sequoias An.sda..
the Pyramids.

the Pyramids.
The giant sequoia trees of Gala
veras county, Cal, are the Oldest
living things on the face of the
earth. Not another thing that has
life in it but was terminated since
they began their existence. No one
knows exactly how old they are,
but some that have been felled in
dicate that they were more than
1000 years old, SO that it is safe to
say that these large trees have been
growing for at least that length of
time. One of them is estimated to
be at least 5000 years of age and is
still in a healthy condition and
bids fair to live hundreds or even
thousands Of years longer.
When the pyramids of Egypt
were built these trees were Of good
" size. When Rome was founded
they would have furnished beams
for the bridges. The temples OF
ancient Greece and Assyria might
have been decorated with their
leaves.
One cannot behold these gigantic
trees without feeling of awe at
the ephemeral existence of things
in general. There they stand,
themselves young in the record of
the world, yet the Oldest living
things upon the face of the earth.
All else that was alive when they
came into existence has persisted.
Empires have sprung up, fourished,
died since these sprouts poked
their tender heads above the soil.
Colossal monuments of art have
crumbled into dust. Races have
evolved, prospered, persisted and
been forgotten since they first bud
ded in their youth; continents
have been changed, mountains have
been formed, the confines of the
seas have been altered by erosion
or by earthquake; lakes have
come into existence and dried up.
Hardening back to the days of their
youth, it is new world which they
behold at this time.
As for the life of man himself, a
mere breath compares with theirs.
1t is a proud family that traces its
ancestry back for a dozen genera
tions-for a couple of hundred
years. The royal houses of the
world are sometimes able to trace
their lineage for u thousand years,
when it is lost in the dim light of
uncertainty. Yet here stands the
monarchs that have waved their
plumes in triumph for many times
as long as the Oldest of the royal
houses.
Man IS born and obtains his
growth, he struggles and sue
cumbs, his body is given to the
worms, his bones are pulverized
into dust, his very name and place
forgotten and other generations
come upon the scene, yet these
trees go about their way of living,
gathering up the moisture and the
chemicals and building them into
wood and bark and leaves, appar-
emily unmindful Of the passing of
time.-Dayton News.

Holland.

Paper Read Before the Chautduqua Ctrcle.
In writing this paper had to let my
memory revert back many years, for it
is about twenty-five years since | was
in Holland. The country contains
many beautiful cities, buildings and
resorts. Scheveningen is one
of the finest bathing places in Europe,
and it was at this famous watering
place that once la 4 the pleasure of
spending vacation. Between the
Hague and Scheveningen is located one
OF the most beautiful forests one would
wish to see. In the center of this vir-
gin forest is lake surrounded by mag
ni6cent parks. Amid this matchless
scenery the Holianier enjoys himself
to his he arts content.
The Hague, altho not the capital city,
has population of 250OO0. The Hol-
lander says that lie earns his money In
Rotterdam, puts it into the bank in
Amsterdam, but when he wan s to
spend it and have good time he goes
to the Hague, for it is Hollands gar
den. There are more aristocrats in
this beautiful city than in all the others
combined.
Fer the past few centuries the Hague
has been noted as the place vile. 9
Eurol can diplomats meet and adjust
their differences. Lately the represen-
tatives of the various nations meet
here and discuss universal peace, which
in itself is great honor to Holland.

the Hague. Everywhere are board
walks, and if the weather is excessively
hot one can stretch ones self ON the
sand by the sea. Music can be heard
everywhere aud it takes first place in
the hearts Of the Hollanders. In sum-
mer you can hear the philharmonic or
chestra, of Berlin. and the military
band almost every night.
In the winter time you can attent
concert every night ii you wish, and at
these concerts you can Lear some of
the best musicians in the world. There
are two Conservatives at the Hague,
the Oldest ole being for advanced mu-
sicians and the other is for beginners.
The latter gives concerts the Year
around. The Hague also has quite
colony of artists, but these spend most
of their time in other cities.
AS rule the PEOPLE do MT take
much interest in government, state or
city politics. They go to their work in
the morning and in the evening they
stay at home, or attend the theatre.
They simply won't bother their heads
about politics, and in this they differ
from all other natlonalities.
Holland has i've universities and
Amsterdam two. These latter two are
of little benefit to Amsterdam, but
there are three other universities that
are quite famous in Europe. These
are the universities of Seiden, Utrecht
and Groningen. The university in
Seiden was erected in 1867. 1t is well
known as it has some of tie test pro-
fessors in the world. However, the
students fbd their greatest pleasure aI
the Hague aud rever lose an opporta-
nifty to visit it. Utrecht's university is
a grand affair, for the town is richer
than Seiden. At the university at
Groningen all modern languages are
taught. Here you will find the students
on terms of good fellowship with all
classes and democracy prevails in its
broadest aspect. At this place you can
find people of every nationality and
good feeling exists everywhere.
Along the seacoast you can find the
simple fishermen who have not chang
ed their customs in any way, AMI these
people ale the same today as their fore
fathers were a hundred years ago.
They have kept up their old customs
and their never failing courage. If
