Actrrsa rr.msy Davenport Tells How the Highest Snccessls Won. Is the successful actress born or made? Of beauty, magnetism or hard work.
which is the least essential? Will the pleasure derived from the art and from fame and fortune repay a woman for the struggling, self sacrifice, loss ol home life, etc necessary to attain it? These questions have been asked of a number of the leading actresses on the American stage. Here is what Farny Davenport says: I think the success of an actress is won by application and persistency. No one is born successful. They may be lucky, but unless that luck is seized at the proper moment and put to good (account, it is of no use in our professional life, I cannot now look about me and see one actress enjoying success who has not fairly wbn it. Modjesta, Morris, Wainwright, Cogulan, Mitchell, Lotta, Pixley, have earned every particle of their heaped up measure of success.
There are some who have been tied to the ladder and some who raised the lad der, but they are far fewer in number than the deserving ones. I think magnetism far better upon the Btage than beauty. When, however, both are combined, the labor to excel is less of a bard row to hoe, for the beauty brines a woman Into notice, then magnetism wins attention and interest, and success is as sured. "There is no reason why an actress should not have" a home life. Of courso in the traveling company custom a woman is de barred from havins ono real home, but if it is in her she can make a home she goes.
Applause and fame are wonderful incentives to work, and ambition to win more is like champagne punch the more you hare the more you want If a girl La3 a strong will and can say 'no' and mean it, there is no profession in the world more productive cf comfort and money than the dramatic one. Many make it a vehicle for a display of personal charms or amours, but these who go into it as a living, loving it is an art and making it hrst before all frivolous attractions, arc bound to succeed." Boston Herald. A Fashionable Kelic of Barbarism. The painting of the face i3 one of the most curious relics of barbarism oil record, dating back to the very infancy of the race. The first men painted their faces in time of war to make their aspect more terrible, and ia time of peace to render themselves mere attractive to the fair The sense of color in those primitive epochs was far from being as delicate as that of the mod ern aesthetic If the pale shades invented by the dyer of these days had then been known, they would have been despised as offering nothing tangible to- the vision, The first colors were red, yellow, blue and black, found in a state of nature or prepared by simple methods, and the only rule of art for their use was that they should be liberally applied.
The American Indians, when they crossed Bearing strait from Asia or were blown across the Pacific at some date so distant that it can only be guessed at, brought the custom with them. and those which civilization has spared preserved it to the present day in its pris tine purity. All the ancient tribes of the north of Eu rope practiced a similar mode of decoration when discovered by the Romans those of Germany (mentioned by Tacitus), the Britons and the rest almost without exception. The Picts, who were a Scottish tribe, must have Used an abnormal quantity, as their name implies, to have justmed the special appellation. The custom was from the first so general, bo typic of savagery that it resembles an instinctthat is, it is one of those blind impulses of unenlightened hu manity which only a high state of civilization could correct in the case of men, and in the caso of women an object more fern mine.

Two fox terriers, Tan and Tally, which belonged to a physician in southern Cali fornia, were the playmates of bi3 little daughter Mabel They had been her com panions from her babyhood, and she was now 5 years old. One da she and they were frolicking in tho garden when the little girl's attention was attracted by a peculiar noise In a bush at her elbow. She peered into the branches to see what bad made the noise.
Instantly the head of a snake reared itself before her, and the sound of its rattles was repeated. Mabel Stood as if fascinated. The gardener at work not far off screamed to her to ran and hurried as fast as he could to her res cue. Hurry as he might, however, he would have been too late but for the dogs. They saw the little girl's danger and threw themselves between her and it, worrying the snake till the man could come up and kill it.
They wera quite awaro of their own danger. Again and again, when camp ing one witn tneir master, tney naa soown the greatest terror at the sound of a snake's rattles, but they could not see the child In jured. When the mother came in answer to the shouts ot the gardener, she found Mabel safe, but both dogs were already in the agonies of death. Youth's Companion.

McDonnell, 730 Main It isn't everywhere that a man can leave a fifty dollar bill lying around loose and without a guardian, but if he is going to do that sort of a thing at all a bank seems the best place. At least I judge so from this tale of a paying teller. He tells it to me with such an honest look in his eye that I believe him. Some time ago one of the promi nent retail merchants went to Jsank and drew oulj a roll to carry to Cincinnati with him. In gathering up the bundle of bills he left a fifty on the check desk where he had been counting it.
Somebody who came in later noticed the crisp long green lying there so lonesomely and of course the natural trend of such a story wiuld be to write, f'and quietly put it away where it could tempt nor body else." But this was not done. The bank note seemed destined to have as anomalous a career as Mark Twain's million pounder. It was handed over to the receiving teller by the finder. Ten days later the merchant who had overlooked the money dropped Into the bank to make a deposit. "By the way," said ho, "I'm out fifty.
You remember that roll I took to Cincinnati with me? Either some body touched me or I left it here? Couldn't have left it, could I Thereupon the fifty dollar bill was restored to its owner. 'And he lived happy ever after ward I in auired of the paying tell er. But he looked at me in scorn and passed on. "I was in a thrilling poker game the other said a pensive youth.

Luck seemed to be impartial, and when we stopped the winner ought tf have been only about 60 cents ahead; but when it came to cashing up I iouud that the bank was out 3. Then one or tne players kicked because I would not redeem matches that had been used to light cigarettes.
Another man growled because he could not bet half a match for it cents, couia not nna out where all those matches came from that I redeemed, and fear that there was a job put up on me." The verdict in the Boone case was not asurprise in the least, and It seem- ea very nimsy evidence on wnicn to charge the woman with murder in the first degree. Never once was an opinion expressed that she would be convicted, ana tne tact tnac tne at torneys for the defense did not intro duce a single witness showed how confident were their minds. Mrs. Boone will go back to Cambridge and probably, never be molested again in a like manner. THE SITUATION.
A Visitor to uncle Explains Bow Thing A gentleman's description of Mun cie at the present writing is as fol Business Is well nigh paralyzed Few persons are to- be seen on the streets. Traveling men have marked the place off their routes, not 60 much because of fear, but because there is little or no business there, and the business men are not buying. Bed flags are numerous. One may be seen from the public square. There was one new case tnere yes terday.
This gentleman says tnat the physicians believe they now have the disease under control, duc tne fact that? new cases are being devel oped nearly every day shows very conclusively that such is not the case Maude's quarantine, of which much has been written, is, in the opinion of this gentleman, a farce, people are required to have a certificate before leaving tne city, out any one can get the paper. No trouble is taken to inquire into the case. All that is ne ceesaryis for the person asking for the papers to say that he has not been exposed, pon nis Dare state ment the certificate is issued, al though the party may be from the, pest house. The quarantine is or no manner oi acconnt as it is being managed at Muncie. The fact is it don't quaran tine anytmng.
And then, again, there are many persons leaving the city witnout leave or license. They simply slip out of town, go to the nearest sta tion and board the trains. No won der the disease is spreading when people are allowed to leave, taking with their famines, houshoid goods, although right out of the Infected dis tricts or cue citv. it the state board or neaicn is oi any account, it will enforce a quarantine that will keep the people out of Muncie, and if in that citv, it will keep them there until the disease has run its course.

There seemed at one time no limit to the imaginative vagaries of Vrain Lucas, as there was none to the blind credulity of his dupe. M. Chasles, however, wa3 not the only one who had been taken in. As lousf as the swindler contented himself With producing documents dating from the fifteenth, sixteenth and eighteenth centuries they were believed genuine, and jt long and an earnest controversy was waged on a reputed correspondence between Pascal and Newton as to whether the former or the latter had discovered the law of universal attraction. I But this very controversy created doubts as to the authent icity of the Chasles collec tion.
The later lmpOsitions.of the forger confirmed them, and Id. Chasles had the grief and shame of being openly declared a dupe and of seeing the years spent in enrichi" 3 Jus collection wasted. The forger was ar rested, tried and punished to the highest penalty of the law. M. Chasles lost the best part of his fortune, lor he had spent over 8,000 in the purchase of valueless papers.

A Cloth Measuring Machine. One of the most convenient devices lately introduced is a machine for measuring cloth, whether cotton or woolen; an appa-ratusvhich not only takes the length of a piece of cloth, but also records it, yard by yard, on the margin, one of the chief advantages of the niachanism being that the operation of measuring never requires to be repeated that is, the retailer finds tho piece he buys marked on the wrong side of the selvage through its entire length, and he has only to unfold the last yard to see if the length corresponds with the invoice, and at any subsequent time it can be seen at a glance bow much there is left. Thus the whole trouble involved in measuring is done away with, and lso the liability of making mistakes in cutting lengths to supply customers' needs. The cloth is not damaged in any manner. Many classes of goods, such as silks, are woven with a selvage that has to be cut off before they are made up, while for others an ink is used for marking the figures that can be removed as easily and completely as the tailor's chalk from a coat.
This useful machine can be driven either by hand or power. New York Sun. Blackened Electric Lamp Bulbs. The users of incandescent lamps frequently have occasion to complain of a reduction of the amount of light supplied to them through the blackening ot the bulbs and are apt to put the blame on the central station from which their current is derived. Professor Elihu Thomson now tells ua tbat this blackening of the bulb is no body's fault and cannot be avoided in the present state of the art of incandescent lampmaking.
The deterioration of incan descent lamps has often been laid to the bombardment of gas molecules, but Pro fessor Thomson is convinced that in a well exhausted lamp it is due almost entirely to evaporation by high Just as ice evaporates in vacuo, so carbon acquires in vacuo a certain volatility at an mcreas ing rate of the temperature. In this way the filament is worn away and deposited in minute particles on the insido of the bulb. Exchange. A Surprised City Miss A pretty typewriter employed in the government building, whose vacation was spent on a farm, will never attempt to feed pigs again. It has leaked out that while up in the country she requested permission to feed the pigs.
This was granted to her of course, and she took a big bucket cf milk and went tothe little inclosure where about a dozen hungry pigs were anxiously waiting for their evening meaL The pretty city miss went Into the place and started to pour the milk into a trough. At sight of the milk the hungry porkers all rushed at her, and as a result she was knocked head over heels, and the milk was spilled all over her, and she was glad to escape frith her life. Cincinnati Enquirer. A CLEVER HOW A FAMOUS AUTOGRAPH COL LECTOR WAS DUPED. There Seemed to Be 3o Limit to the Im einative Vacaries of Train Lucas, and None to the Blind Credulity or HI a Victim Tests of Forgery.
Falsified letters and papers nt various times have played a conspicuous part, if not actually in history, at least In contem poraneous annals and in certain circles of Bociety. Either the autographs in question have been confessed to be forgeries or discovered to be such, but at a given moment they bore a character of authenticity which in a measure exonerated their dupes. Perhaps none at least at first was so convincing as those which completely and successively deceived the very clever member of the Institute of France, M. Chasles, who was taken in by one of the most astute and unprincipled of forgers. According to experts, shortsighted peo ple are better qualified to detect a falsified writing than those who are gifted with a more perfect vision, but tho faculty of dis cernment is chiefly conferred by nature and cannot be judged by ordinary and invaria ble rules.
borne persons have a diagnosis as unerring in the matter of autographs n.3 the cleverest physicians in cases of illness. Everything is a clew for them the texture of the paper, the quality of the ink, tho nature of the pen, whether steel or quill, and as the use of the former- began at a certain date the employment of it for documents pretending to be of earlier production has frequently led to detection. The seals, the fashion in which the sheets are fashioned together, are so many guides not neglected by the expert. There is a vast difference betwee forger ies proper and facsimiles; the latter are much easier to detect. An engraved, litho graphed or photographed document may, even after minute examination, be taken as genuine, but there is a material test which invariably proves fatal to a fraud.
When a pen is dipped into on acid and a drop allowed to fall on the tail of a letter, the ink will disappear if it is an autograph. but will not be affected if it is only an-impression or a facsimile. Formerly to pro duce the latter the genuine document was transferred by tracing and the copy ol-tained was engraved on wood or stone; then lithography came into common use, and finally photography superseded it Today the art of facsimiles is carried to a singular degree of perfection with the assistance of tho heliotype and photogravure. The ancient Kings of ranee kept at heir court secretaries whom they allowed to sign for them ail brevets, circulars and offi cial communications, under Louis Alv the habit had become absolute rule, and the monarch signed personally only his private correspondence. One of his secretaries "of hand," as they were called, Toussaint Rose, imitated his master's writing so accurate that whole letters, purporting by the king himself, could easily be taken as having been in reality penned by The custom of keeping secretaires de main was continued under his successors and was also practiced by their consorts, Sometimes, however, the royal treasurer insisted upon having the genuine signature of the sovereign on orders to pay large sums, and in that casa the real signature had to be appended beneath tbat previously signed by the secretary.
This accounts for the number of documents still kept in the archives on which appear a double and apparently identical signature. xsapoleon I refused to contorm to this tradition. He signed all papers and acts himself, and by a curious idiosyncrasy he lengthened or abridged his signature according to the rank of the person mentioned in the brevet or concerned in the act. It varies greatly, ranging from the whole Napoleon to and even tho single N. He, however, used a stamp especially for the convocations of parliament.
Charles and Louis Philippe did the same. The institute has not forgotten the stupendous hoax of which M. Michel was the victiai. It was perpetrated by a man called Train Lucas, who styled him-Belf the agent of wealthy autograph collectors and gained the confidence of M. Chasles.
He after awhile brought to him and tempted him with letters supposed to date from the seventeenth century, but fabricated by him with considerable skilL Encouraged by his success, he created a perfect factory of autographs, and becoming reckless had the audacity to offer for sale letters written by Mary Magdalene and Cleopatra and some from Archimedes to Xero, from Alexander to Aristotle, from Rabelais fo Luther impudent fabrications which the old savant had become too infatuated to detect. Some of these apocryphal letters were fantastically extravagant. Vercinsetorix street. aep oraggisrs. sep..
