Value of a Man,

The value Of man to the world is
not measured by the wealth he pos.
sesses, or the business interests he
directs. The world is poorer for the
loss of the men who went down with
the Titanic, lot because few OF
them were millionaires, or captains OF
industry, but because all of them were
men, men with the heroism, the self
devotion, to help others-not their
loved ones alone, but strangers-to
safety, and then step calmly back to
wait for death.
Poorer! Yes, but richer, too! 1t is
not grief alone that brings tears to
our eyes and Jumps to our throats as
we read the story, but pride and
thankfulness, as well. There come
times to most of us when, discour-
aged by someone's folly or weakness
perhaps our own-the world seems to
us a sordid place, hardly worth saw
ing. But we take heart again at every
fresh revelation, such as this, of the
divine in man.-Zion's Herald.

Story Of stuyvesant FIsh's Futile e.

Elmer T. Stevens OF Charles H.

story at the Association OF Commerce

Chicago:
when Stuyvesant Fish was presi.

he was sitting in his office one morn

while and see II you can do better
80 the switchman went out, closing
the door. About two hours later there

Picturesnue Manchuria.

Wheat comes into the mills and to
the rivers and railways Of Manchuria
from almost incredible distances. In
the winter, when the rough, ungraded
roads are frozen hard and smooth, the
natives haul wheat for 200 miles, In
some cases by means of a heavy, two
wheeled cart drawn by four to eight
mules. Long trains of these carts,
travelling together for protection and
companionship at night, can be seen
on the main highways all winter and
are the most picturesque feature Of
Manchurian life.

T0SCANINPS DEBUT.
He Was Literally Forced to Conduct
Opera the First Time.

As an opera conductor ToScaninl
seems both to have achieved greatness
and to have had greatness thrust upon
him. In the Century Max Smith, giving
q character sketch of the eminent mu-
sician, thus describes his first triumph.
Toscanini was in Rio de Janeiro, doing
double duty in the opera house as first
cellist and assistant chorus master.
The season had gone badly from the
beginning. One conductor had been re-
jected, and matters reached a crisis
when an indignant audience, assembled

services of an incompetent substitute,

than the man dismissed.
Some one suggested Toscanini, who
beat a retreat to the stage, where he
was found trying to hide in the wings.
His efforts to escape were futile. No
excuse was accepted Forced into the

The youthful maestro seized the

of the mob. Every one could see that
he was conducting from memory: Even

STAGE VILLAINS.
Not Those Who Play the Scoundrelly
Parts, but the Real Ones.

The true villain of the stage is not
always the one who strives to kidnap
the heroine and beStOw a violent death
upon the hero. for jealousy and the
acts prompted by it lead not only the
ladies but also the men TO resort to IN
principled methods TO disgrace a rival.
One or two of the tricks are quite
common, notably that of doing some
thing TO make another player miss his
or her cue. In one case an actress car
ried fan. which she used deliberately
TO blow the sound of her low spoken
sylIables away from the other actress.
As result the latter had great diff
Guilty in catching her cues, so much 50
that the audience began to speak OF
her as a poor actress. although in other
pieces she had been praised most high
ly by the critics.
An equally common trick is for the
actor to step toward the back of the
stage. This causes his victims face tC
be turned away from the audience. the
consequence being that not only his
voice is lost. but his features are in
visible and his efforts thus spoiled.
Still another device which has beer
utilized by stage criminals is that OF
anticipating the laugh of a comedian
with broad smile or grin. This LITTLE
trick takes the edge off the fun result
ing from the other actors lines.
