Albert TAYLOR Coming.

Albert Taylor and company will
open an engagement at the New Tenn
pie Monday afternoon. Speaking of
"a Ragged Prince" in which Mr.. Tay-
lor will be seen here, press notice
says:
"a Ragged Prince" is one of the
very best of the romantic dramas and
the opera of "Maritano" is founded
on it. 1t is not often played because
few actors are equipped for the re-
quirements of the title role Barry
Sullivan was the greatest Don Caesar
OF his day and Alexander salvini, SO
richly endowed by nature for such
roles, made a great success in it.
Since his death almost the only actor
Of note who has attempted it in road
production was Charles B. Hansford,
so that to the younger generation the
play is largely unknown.
Don Caesar, defending a pretty
street singer from insult, becomes en-
gagged in duel and is sentenced to
death. Though the offices of worthy
priest and a devoted page the bullets
of the firing squad are removed.
When the soldiers fire Don Caesar
falls, and supposing him dead, the
priest and Don Caesars followers are
permitted to move the body. Don
Caesar escapes and remainins in hid
ing. Meantime the king falls in love
with Don Caesars wife. He had mar
ried her before his supposed execution
while disguised, but has never seen
her face, as she was heavily yelled.
The girl has been removed to Don
Caesars castle and Don Caesar ar
rives on the scene just as the king
is trying to force his nnwelcome at
tention on her. Don Caesar is legally
dead and appears under new name,
but the king recognizes him, and
wonderfully skilled dialogue ensues in
which the king is shamed into man
hood, pardons Don Caesar and ex
claims: 'If / were not king | would
rather be Don Caesar, the Ragged
Prince"

tool-making are dominated by it; in
every evolution or drill of ships or

AN UNEXPECTED FEE

In the matter of compensation, not
many of our surgeons are likely, even
in these days of multi-millionaires and
large surgeons fees. to have the pleas
ant experience that once befell Sir
Ashley Cooper, the eminent English
surgeon. An old resident of the West
Indies, Hyatt by name, who was suf-
fering from stone in the bladder, de-
termined upon coming to England and
undergoing the operation for it's re-
moval at the hands of Sir Ashley. The
stone was successfully extracted and
the patient made a rapid recovery.
When the surgeon paid his last visit,
Mr.. Hyatt asked him the amount Of
his debt 1.-TWO hundred guineas," was
the answer. "Pooh, pooh!" exclaimed
the old gentleman, II shan't give you
two hundred guineas; there-thats
what I shall give you" With this he
took off his night cap and tossed it
over to Sir Ashley. "Thank you"
calmly replied the latter, putting the
cap into his pocket, anything that
comes from you is acceptable" On
examination it was found to contain
check for one thousand guineas-per-
haps the largest fee ever given at that
time for an operation.

suPERFLuous HAIR

You may greatly retard the growth

the growth in consequence will gradu-
ally become finer. There is really no
permanent way of ridding the face OF
these hairs except by the electric
needle, and this should be applied only
by an expert. The needle penetrates
the hair follicle or root and destroys
the growth. But the electric current
is apt to stimulate the growth of hair
that is left and it is necessary, there-
fore, to come back again and again
until the hair is all destroyed. This
takes time and patience, of course, and
is sometimes very painful, but 1t is
generally worth it in the end, If the
hairs are very disfguring. OF course
there are a great many good depila-
tories on the market, but these are
merely temporary. However, it is bet

Below is the formula of a depilatory,
as requested:
Sulphide of strontium, drains; OK
ide of zinc, drains; powdered starch,
drains. Mix thoroughly and keep dry
in we'll corked bottles until wanted
for use. Take enough to make
paste and add warm water to it until
the proper consistency is secured.
Spread over the hairy surface and al
low to remain for from one to five
minutes, according to- the nature of the
growth and the susceptibility of the
skin. 1t should be removed, as in
every case with a depilatory, when the
burning sensation is produced. Too
long contact with the skin should be
avoided, and Immediately after the
hair has been removed the denuded
surface should be gently washed with
warm water and a cold cream or a
bland oil applied to prevent irritation.

A PERFECT SKIN

The fascination of a clear, fair skin
is recognized by every woman. No
matter how regular her features, II
the skin is blotched a woman loses all
her power to attract. A good skin is
an evidence of health, pure blood and
right living. Powder will not cover an
imperfect complexion, but will only
draw attention to it by giving it a
mottled, livid appearance. A new
preparation gives a soft, youthful
bloom to the skin, will not show and
is absolutely beneficial in every way.
1t contains no zinc, peroxide or white
lead, and may be used on a baby
surely a perfect test of it's purity. 1t
will remove the tired, old expression
engendered by pain or fatigue and the
haggard look which the hustle of mod
ern life will give to even a youthful
face. Rarely indeed can a beautifier
be found which cannot be detected,
and the obvious use of cosmetics robs
a woman of that air of refinement
which makes lady. A fresh, natural
exacts willing admiration
from either sex, and such is certainly
to be obtained by the use of this dainty

possible to be ever begun without it,"

THE ESCAPE FROM LIFE


reverlsh activity by which men try to
escape from life"
These words, expressed by Arthur
Symons, have a mysterious ring in the
ears of those who have always thought
of life as thing to cling to rather
than escape from.
Our only chance for complete happi-
ness in this world, he says, lies in the
measure of our success in shutting the
eyes of the mind, and deadening its
sense of hearing, and dullig the Ike IN
ness of it's apprehension of the un-
known. AS the present passes
from us, hardly to be enjoyed except as
memory or as hope, and only with an
at best partial recognition of the un-
certainty or inutility of both, 1t Is with
a kind of terror that we wake up,
every now and then. to the whole
knowledge of our ignorance, and to
some perception of where it is lead
ing us.
To live through single day with
that overpowering consciousness of our
real position, which, in the moments in
which alone 1t mercifully comes, is like
binding light or the thrust of a fam
binding light or the thrust of a flam-
his senses. And so there is a great
silent conspiracy between us to forget
death; all our lives are spent in busily
forgetting death. That is why we are
so active about so many things which
we know to be unimportant; why we
are so afraid of solitude and so thank
full for the company of our fellow crea-
lures. Allowing ourselves for the most
part to be but vaguely conscious of
that great suspense in which we live,
we find our escape from it's sterile, an
Initiating reality in many dreams, in
religion, passion, art; each forgetful-
ness, each symbol of creation. :.
Each Is a kind of sublime selfshness,
the saint, the lover and the artist hav-
ing each an inc0mmunicable ecstacy
which he esteems as his ultimate at
tainment; however, in his lower mo-
ments he may serve God in action or do
the will of his mistress or minister to
men by showing them a little beauty.
But it is, before all things, an
escape.
Francis Gribble, in the Fortnightly
Review, in a similar vein, says:
mo human pursuit is, or is viewed
as. an end in itself All our occupa-
we engage at the bidding of such i'm
perative and elementary impulses as
hunger and thirst-are so many devices
for diverting our minds from the one
great problem which we cannot hope
to solve. For this reason the smart
set plays bridgs This is the motive
of the indiscriminate debauchery of
the dissolute, and of the asceticism of
the monk; this is the origin and the
use of poetry, painting, music and the
drama. But the way of the artist
is the best, since, by the symbolism of
art, the finite may obtain, in the meas
ure of finite capacity, some consoling
apprehension of the infinite"

DO YOU SUFFER HEADAcHE9

Headache is one Of the evils to which
the human race is subject, the weaker
sex more particularly. 1t may arise
from a variety of causes; sluggish
liver bad ventilation, disordered nerves
and poor circulation being all respon-
sible for an affection which causes un-
told misery. A simple remedy, which
is entirely safe to use and efficacious
in its results is claimed by the manu-
facturers to be a positive cure for
headache, no matter from what cause
it may arise.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

recently asked a group of friends gath
cred at his home in Los Angeles of
whom the writer was one, this very
simple question, "Why are we here?"
He referred, of course, not to that
exact location, but to the great mys-
terry of human existence.
The best answer given was as sim
pie as the question. 1--WE are here"
said the last member. of the party to
express an opinion, ITO find out why
we are here"
The struggle of the human race
throughout history has been to dis
cover it's true relation to the world
and also to the universe Education
has been the process by which it has
reached its present stage of develop
ment. We should not have learned
half so much as we have, had 1t not
been for the battle between health and
disease. Ills of the flesh are the one
influence above all others that has
kept man sane, rational, normal
being To what extent we might have
gone in our follies, had not the penalty
been always before us, no one can tell.
1t may have been that the discovery
of fire and its use without which the
world would still be in a savage state,
was due to the sickness of some
aboriginal man who sought a means
of keeping the suns curative warmth
blazing through the night. The first
worship of an idol or god may very
likely have been started by an ache
or a pain that caused an inductive line
of reasoning.
Do I therefore welcome disease as a
desirable companion for life? Not at
all. What I welcome is the discovery
that disease is not a superimposed bur-
den put upon the human race, but that
it is merely the reward of ignorance,
its purpose heing to keen men in the
paths of intelligence and under
standing
So far I have been talking in theo-
retical terms. perhaps. Yet I have
never been much of a theorist. have
demonstrated in hundreds of cases
that education will eliminate disease.
And there is no secret or mystery
about this education. have no special
key to the Scriptures, I regard them
as an open book, and If any man edu-
Gates himself sufficiently In them he
may reach the same result that others
claim.
What I am urging is education, di-
rectly and specifically, upon the sub
ject of health. I want to show the
man or woman or child who is not per-
fectly well what is wrong with the
respiration or the circulation just as
lecnnlcdlly as tne mecnanlc Will snow
you what is wrong with the combus-
ton or transmission of your engine.
You may think you have an engine
that Is worn out or that was not built
right. I have found very few human
engines that could not be rebuilt, and
have called my system one of body
building. Repair stations have been of
some use and have done a great deal of
harm; The drug doctor and the apoth-
ecary's shop may put you on the road
