Chinese Child Actors
The Rance of Sarawak, in the Continental Edi
 finn of tha Inndon Mail.

The Rance of Sarawak in the Continental Ed-
 tion of the London Mail.
 Tthink one of the hardest workers have ever seen in my life was little Chinese boy playing the leading part in open-air theatre in the Kuching Bazaar, Sarawak, Borneo.
 He was an artist to his finger tips. He held the center of the stage and attracted everyones' attention, like small bird of paradise placen in a gilded cage.
 He spoke his lines fluently and rapidly. They told me he was only 10 years old-a "star" player in that little span of yearsl
 One mistake, hesitation, a slight wear- ness in the perpetually moving figure, and he would lose his post.
 Trained from babyhood to be play-acto1s, these children are taught the secrets of sound and action as they can walk.
 could not help comparing him with some of our own "star" players who think them selves ill-used because twice a week they are obliged to play twice day. Why, this child played all day and every day until midnight, with only few hours rest between!
 Not only that, but also he played in the open supnshine, with the sweating, steamlng crowd below him in the street
 And he played Tn head-dreSS or such weight that I could hardly lift it; his clothes were thicknesses of gold.
 The story of Chinese play is hard to foi- low The characters always seem to me angrs and excited.
 There is no repose in their dramas. The stage is never empty for one moment. Fight ing, love, cowardice and courage, all are there, nartrayed hv these child actors
 The little boys who represent the girls fit to and fro with their fans, and make great use of their sleepy, slanting eyes.
 If a scene has to be altered, the stage hands move, from the wings and quietly hitch up some fresh curtain on pole, and you have to readjust your mind as rapidly from a palace to river bank.
 The orchestra, consisting of Chinese flute, adds to the general effect of vivacity and sound The little boys shriek their amorous songs. The comedian performs Chinese antics in the corner. And through it all, unper- turbed and glorious in his finery, the little "star" actor plays his heroic part, until, with one final blast of sound at midnight, the trag- edy or comedy is ended. Can he sleep-will he sleep?-th:s child who should have been in bed three hours ago, or has the teaching of perpetual motion been too much for him? One wonders how long they live, these children or if they die, like little tropical birds, trapped for the self indulgence of mankind

TOKYO ADVERTISING

From Le Petit Parisien, Paris. Translated
 for the Star.)
 The Americans, the English and even the French believe themselves to be masters in the art of alluring advertisement. It seems however, that they may be able to take few lessons from the Japanese.
 We give here translation of a book store prospectus, which has been literally flooding Tokio:
 Advantages offered by our establishment:
 l. Terms as low those of lottery tickets. 2. Books as elegant as the young women who sing in the concerts.
 3. Print as clear as crystal.
 4. Paper as thick as an elephants hide.
 5. Customers treated with as much courtesy as the passengers. of competing steamship lines. 6. As great an abundance of articles as in public library.
 2. Service as swift as cannon ball.

 It is good thing that this prospectus stops where it does, as we fully expected the store to offer it's bargains for nothing.

COMPLETING WILSON DAM THE IMPORTANT THING

The one act of Congress in respect to Mus cle Shoals, of whose wisdom there can be no dispute, was adoption of the measure appro- priating $7,500,000 for carrying on the work at Wilson dam. The only regret about the ap- propriation is that it does not become avail able until October 1, by which time the waters of the river will probably have begun to rise again and soon thereafter will be so high as to impede very important work that can be done only in low water stages. Anything that water powers strikes the keynote of industrial expansion in this state.
 It is to be hoped that Secretary Weeks will be successful in having the balance of an old appropriation made during the Wilson admin istration become available at once, so that the work at .ison dam during the next month may be on larger e~ae than under the small sum at present available.
 The crux of the situatio~ of the dam is this: If work can be so forwarded during the summer weather, when waters are low, that the cofferdams are completed, men can work inside the cofferdams during the winter and high water stages. Otherwise they cannot work in the winter to any great advantage.
 Muscle Shoals is nothing until harnessed. IL is nothing without the power that the har- messed shoals will develop. There has been a lot of cart-before-the-horse contention about Muscle Shoals. When the power is there ready for use, how it should best be used will come to the surface so plainly that speedy arrangements will be effected Completion of the Wilson dam is what most concerns the in- terests of Alabama at Muscle Shoals.

DOME IN DANGER
From the Living Age.

From the Living Age.
 The great dome of St. Pauls cathedral in London is in grave danger. In recent letter to the Times, Canon s. A. Alexander pointed out the critical condition of the structure and appealed to the public for 100000 pounds to pay for repairs immediately necessary.
 This request is meeting with prompt re- sponse, but the peril has by means disap- peared. The stone supporting the dome is crushed, in some places to flakes, and the in- terior of one of the piers supporting the dome is so loose that the rubble can be moved by hand.
 Christopher Wren's masterpiece has drawn more tourists and visitors from all parts of the world in recent years than ever. During five days 15,000 people passed by the tomb of the late Sir Henry Wilson, although on four days there was a charge for admission to the crypt. If the money now asked for is not raised soon the cathedral will have to be closed to the public, and may even stand in danger of actual disaster.
