Mr.. Mackay's Show of Anger on the
Stage.

Daniel Frohman in his recently publish
ed Memoirs of a Manager" tells OF a
trick F. F. Mackay once employed to
gain effect:
I'm One of Our Girls T. f. Mackay
enacted the role OF suave French swell
who, having deliberately insulted tile
American girl with whom an English Off
cer-played by Mr.. Sothern--was I'm love.
thus brings forward one of the chief sit
uations of the play. In this situation tie
English officer steps forward deliberately
and, looking the Frenchman i'm the eve.
takes off his glove and slaps him vicious
ly in the face.
Mr. Mackay has told me how faithful
a study he had made of the character or
tie Frenchman. In this scene Mr.. Bron-
son Howard wished him to become yio-
lent and furious. in accordance with the
popular notion of an excitable French
mans character. Mr.. Mackay argued
that the French count. having been
shown in the play TO be an expert duelist
both with the napier and the pistol, and
having faced danger frequently. was not
liable to lose control Of himself Mr..
Howard readily saw the point
1.-The result was one of the most strik-
ing situations we nave In the american
drama, for the Frenchman received the
insult without the movement of muscle.
He stood rigid. Only flash of the eye
for an instant revealed his emotion. Then
the audience saw his face grow red, ana
then pale. This was followed by the
quiet announcement from the count that
he would send his seconds TO the English
man
This exhibition of facial emotion be-
ira we'd bv the visible rush OF blood to the
actors face was frequently noted at the
time 1t was muscular trick, Mr.. Mac
KAY told me. He put on tight collar
for that scene and strained his neck
against il until the blood came and when
he released the pressure and the blood
receded the effect was reached. III Was
a splendid moment. and IL il one of the
many effects that have been studied out
during the progress and development of a
play during rehearsals.

SHOOTING BY SWISS.
Cunning Is a Popular Pastime of the
Country.

From the London Standard
Rifle shooting still remains the most
popular pastime with the Swiss people of
every rank, in spite of the invasion OF
foot ball and lawn tennis. which of recent
years have attracted many from the butts
every Sunday. The ambition of every
Swiss sportsman is to be a good shot; to
excel in other sports is a secondary con-
sideration
In lW the number of ball cartridges
used by Swiss citizens outside their OBJ
ilgatory military service. in shooting on
their own behalf and in various competi-
tons was 14OD.O0O. In 1909 the total
was 26.oW.GD. In 1910 the total reached
100000.
In International shooting matches in
different European capitals during the
last ten years the representatives of the
country have beaten French, italian,
Austrian, Belgian and Dutch marksmen,
but have not yet met German or English
representative teams. As nation there
is no doubt the Swiss are the best rifle
shots in the world. as from the peasant
to the president every Swiss knows how
to handle modern rife and shoot
straight

Dickens Writing.
rom the London Chronicle.

London Chronicle.
To Charles Dickens, be it said, writing
in a train would probably have presented
no difficulty. For in his early days, when.
as he says himself, he was THE best and
most rapid reporter ever known he had
to hurry to and from country meetings,
by coach and postchaise, and to trans
cribe his notes by the Pickering aid OF
a carriage lamp. while iolting over roads
that almost jumped him out of his seat"
The result of his reporting experience
was the formation of a style Of hand
writing in which every letter was per-
fectly formed. This can be seen In his
manuscripts in the Dyce and Forster col
lection. which, albeit written In a micro
SCOPE hand and plentifully nterlined, az
forded excellent copy for the long-suffer-
ing compositor.

Aviation Drowsiness.

From the New York Sun.
According to DIR. Cruchet and DR.. Moul-
nier of Bordeaux, who have made a study
of the physical sensations Of flying. the
airman who shoots downward from a
great height in his aeroplane feels his
face become hot and inflamed. the blood
rushing to his head and a desire for sleep
taking possession of him. Evidently it Is
this drowsiness that the aviator must
guard against. So long as his aeroplane
is under control he can descend safely
from level to level: first spiral drop
and then. with the motor working. a brief
flight to relieve congestion Of the head.
II would seem to follow from the descrfp-
ton of their symptoms given by aviators
that death in "A machine that drops
straight down must be painless.

From the London Field
The Americans have far greater COM

ty Of hitting it even at most difficult
angles. and they are far more adept at
meeting the ball in its course. an art
which has hitherto been sternly dis
countenanced in the practice Of English
