Born Actors.

The French are born actors, from
the first to the last: they have from
early childhood poses and motions
that are not to be found outside of
France, except on the stage. Their
bearing is theatrical. their language
defamation, their whole manner re.
calling scenery and footlights-and
precisely the French produce fewer
great tragedians than any other ma.
tion In the world. They are rich in
talents for social drama and the CON-
edy; they have the good fortune OF
seeing Got and Coquelin, a st.
German and Dieudonne, a Geoffroy,
Hyacinthe. rHeritier. Lassouche, act
on the stage contemporaneously, but
they produce no tragical talents OF
the first order geniuses who could
bear comparison with a Devrient, a
Davidson, Kean, Booth. Irving. Rossi,
or Salvini-Max Nordau.

ing line by NJ. Millerand. the minister
of war, to sing and recite patriotic and
warlike chansons to the French sol
diers, to inspire them TO mighty deeds.
For the last month or more the
picturesque Breton singer, with his
sleek hair. his wide hat brim. his
flying ribbon and voluminous velvet
breeches, looking for all the world like
the painted figure on a piece OF Breton
pottery, has been travelling, staff in
hand. from camp to camp, entertaining
the fighting men of France with stir

of ancient warfare and its customs
more even than the breastplates.

proved their value on several occa.
sions.
The soldiers are gathered together
in big hall. an impromptu and gener-
ally insecure platform is rigged up
and Botrel stands forth to recite his
songs, some in the Breton dialect.
others in French but all touched with
the lyric flame that carries simple
words and simple thoughts straight
to the hearts of the hearers.
Botrels inspiration is not of the
kind that scars high and far, but here,
face to face with the troops who are
bearing themselves so gallantly i'm the
east, he has found again the fire of his
earlier days and the fame of patriot
ism burns bright and strong in these
metrical chants which he utters with
a touching simplicity and childlike
earnestness
The war bard is filling a useful role:
he helps to promote cheerfulness and
optimism. and does much to relieve
the monotony Of life in fort. He
cannot complain of monotony. Since
August 80, when he set forth on this
novel mission TO defensive army
Botrel has seldom slept in a bed and
perhaps never twice in the same place.
But as he himself remarks, ne fares
no worse than the soldiers to whom
he Is sent. and he travels and tramps
as best he can. arriving always in
good spirits, and exuding cheerfulness
at every pore, however weary he may
be.
He is adored wherever he passes
naturally, and lndefatigably he travels
on. Goodnight here; good.morrow
there.

this middle aged bard with the fight.

You may have thought that the
squirrel was just showing of when he
walked the telephone cable ali the
length OF the alley, says the Indian
apolis News. and you may have
classed him with the sort of foolish
people that have walked wires over
Niagara falls. The fact was that the
squirrel wanted his breakfast, and,
what was much more important, his
wife wanted her breakfast. The snow
was so deep that the squirrel would
only have succeeded in burying him

next to the ground that he could not
get to his storeroom at the foot of the
tree. He could not telephone to the
corner grocery because he had no
telephone, and|hs could not borrow
from the neighbors, because he had no
neighbors. He could not fly, and he
could not beg loudly enough to be
heard. II seemed to him that If he
had been anything but a squirrel,
there would have been somebody to
help him; but, as he was a squirrel.
he had to help himself. and he started
bravely out to do it. He walked the
slippery cable all the length of the al
ley, and found some frozen bread In a
garbage can conveniently near a tele-
phone pole. Then he walked back
again, and carried his wife's break
fast to her.

pearance, tall, symmetrically built and
handsome in both form and feature.
His color varies from dark brown to
almost white. while his features in
many cases show a European cast, a
fact which has given rise to the theory
that he is undoubtedly of Caucasian
descent. This theory, although for
many years secuted by students. grad
ually has come 10 be generally accept
ed. and although there are many who
maintain that II is without foundation.
the majority Of scholars are its pro-
ponents.
Outside of the racial characters

theory through the study OF the my

OF the Hawaiians and other Polynesian
branches. All these are found to be

myths. primitive epics and hero stories

When first the early missionaries
visited the Hawaiian islands they were
most particularly impressed with the
similarity OF the native legends to the
Old Testament history OF the Bible.
They were for a time inclined to ac.

they were absolutely free from Euro
