Real Tragedy of the STAGE.

A beautiful actress, Fraulein Oar
mer, was killed by accident recently,
while playing at the Theater of Va
rieties at Berne, Switzerland. The last
act of the comedy, THE Pride of the
Third Company" was coming to an
end when Fraulein Darmer fell
through a defective stage trap to q
distance of six feet and fractured her
skull. The actress was carried uncon-
scious to her room and doctor was
in prompt attendance, but the case
was beyond his help, and as the cur
tain fell on the comedy on the stage
the girl died. Neither the members of
the company who took the final call"
nor the public, who wondered why the
actress did not appear, had the slight
est idea of the tragedy that had oc-
Cured behind the scenes.

Very few people are really free from
liability to stage fright, and the vet
eran in public life is just as likely to
be affected as is the novice. Attacks,
moreover, frequently come when they
are least expected. Hence no speak
er or artist can face an audience and
feel sure that he will not have to suf-
fer from the fortunes of this particu-
larry painful form of nervousness.
Musicians, of course, are the worst
sufferers. The performer on a stringed
instrument is helpless IL his hand
trembles, while the clear enunciation
of a singer can be ruined by that
catch in the throat" or that witch
ing of the lips which is perhaps the
simplest and most common manifesto
ton of stage fright.

Organizations whose members are
interested mainly in promoting the
recognition and general use of one
specific flower are rapidly becoming
numerous. Among these are many
whose official findings are not recog-

Among these is the British Gladiolus
society. Their determinations have
not always met with the approval of

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
individuals of Every Age Should Re-
member Necessity for Moisture
In the Body.

Individuals differ In their needs, but
the average man requires from a quart
to three pints of water to drink day
In addition to the pint which is alb
sorbed in his food. Women require
little less and children a little more
than this average. Children should be
encouraged to drink all the water they
want between meals and upon rising
in the morning, but they should be
taught from early childhood not to sip
water between every two mouthfuls of
food when eating. A glass of water
before beginning to eat is advisable
and refreshing as well, but no one
should form the habit of moistening
the throat with water to make the
morsels of food slip down. Water
taken in advance of meal liz sup
posed to prepare the saliva so that
there Is an abundance OF the latter
which should be thoroughly mixed with
the food before swallowing to make
the food ready for the stomach, and
while many authorities hold that wa
ter taken during the meal is not harm
full, 1t does often become such habit,
especially with children, that one often
sees them fairly unable to swallow a
mouthful without a gulp of water to
follow.
Do not let children drink extremely
cold water or water with ice floating
in 1t. 1t chills the stomach too much,
particularly in hot weather. Keep the
water against the ice. This makes 1t
plenty cold enough for little folks who
are perfectly satisfied with it at this
temperature until some one is foolish
enough to let them have it with ice.
Never let child drink a glass of
iced water down quickly. If they are
very hot it Is enough to kill them.
There is no harm in allowing a child
to suck piece of ice because the wa
ter melts slowly and is fairly off the
chill before it reaches the stomach. To
satisfy extreme thirst, such.as in fever,
the ice sucking is preferable for this
reason.
Teach child when drinking water
at any time to take long, but slow,
mouthfuls. 1t is not only more salts
flying, but better for the digestion in
every way.
