the second part Of this law covers the
case OF a ball dropped from a table

STAGE FRIGHT.
Not Even a Veteran Is Wholly Free
From the Disease.

Not Even q Veteran 10 Wholly Free
From the Disease.
1t is said that there are really few
public personages who are free frvai
liability to stage fright The veteran
ls as likely to be affected as the novice.
Frequently the attack comes when
least expected. and. no matter how
often tho speaker or the artist may
hnve faced an audience. he can never
feel quite certain that he will not un-
dergo the tortures OF this form Of
nervousness.
Il is a curious fact nevertheless that
stage fright sometimes stimulates In.
stead Of hopelessly confusing the
speaker or performer. There Is a story
TO the eject that a friend OF Canning
onco observed TO him Just as that
great man was about to address the
house OF commons on an important
measure; why, your hands are cold
and clammy. You are nervous"
"In that case" Canning is reported
to have replied. II shall make a good
speech" And the prediction. was fully
verified, since the orator was at his
very best on that occasion.
For obvious reasons musicians are
among the worst sufferers from stage
fright. One artist trembles, another
perspires excessively, a third suffers
from headache, and a fourth is con
sumed with a terrible thirst. Its most
embarrassing manifestation, chiefly
among those performing upon stringed
instruments, lies in the nervous trcm-
bling OF the bow when sustained notes
are attempted.
Plnnists, too, have their troubles in
this respect. and many artists have
told OF cases wherein 'their fingers
ran away with them" Singers ex-
perience a ''catch in the throat" that
