STAGE MANNERISMS.
Grossmith Rebelled Against Imitating
Charles Mathews.'
Weedon Grossmith in "From Studio
to Stage" has something sensible to
say about the practice of imitating the
methods and mannerisms of great ac
tors, a practice that was once more
frequent than it is now. On his re
turn to Loudon be played a part that
had been played many years before by
Charles Mathews and who had thus
established a sort of orthodoxy" in its
presentation. Mr. Grossmith relates:
"I was asked by the producer to do
the same business that Charles Ma
thews did. and when making my exit
at the end of the first act the stage man
ager said, 'Now, Mr. Grossmith, throw
the tails of your frock coat over the
back of your head.'
"'Why?' I asked.
" 'Because Mathews did it," be re
plied. " 'Never,' tsaid I. 'Not having had
the good fortune to see the great
Charles Mathews. I naturally can't
imitate his methods, and I must do
things my own way.'
" 'Really,' said the producer and.
looking at the other members of the
company for applause and encourage
ment, in his best cynical vein added.
We have many of us heard through
press notices what a brilliant actor
Mr. Weedon Grossmith is in America,
but is he going to improve on Charles
Mathews In London?"
" 'That's not quite the point.' I replied.
'How Charles Mathews did this busi
ness I don't know. At any rate, he was
a gentleman in every part he played,
and I am much afraid his imitators
have vulgarized his business, for it
doesn't seem to me possible that
Charles Mathews would make an exit
from a drawing room in the presence
of ladies throwing his coattails entire
ly over his head, and, whether he did
or not. I absolutely decline to do it!' "
WAGES AND MORALITY.
I think it's perfect nonsense
to pretend that a girl who is im
moral on $6 a week will lead a
virtuous life on $8. I think
wages have nothing to do with
the question of morality, and the
girls themselves were the first
to resent the suggestion that the
minimum wage is . the remedy
for minimum morals. Of course
we will all have to see that
working women are paid wages
upon which they can live, but
it is false and ridiculous to as
sert that there is a direct rela
tion between tbe wages of wom
en and . their morality. And
working women were the first
to point this out another indi
cation. I think, that they are
their own best helpers. Miss
Anne Morgan.
HUMUS IN THE SOIL "
This Valuable Substance Is Due to the
Presence of Bacteria.
We find a vast difference in the fer
tility of different soils, writes C. L.
McArtbur, assistant bacteriologist, Ida
ho experiment station. For instance,
sand.-although it may contain all the
elements necessary for plant food, is
still found barren and without vegeta
tion. Garden soils, however, may con
tain less plant food than the sand and
still be considered very fertile. This
difference is usually due to the sub
stance known as humus. Where the
humus is present the different ele
ments are present in a form that plants
can use. This bumus is the remains of
previous plants and animals. When
plants die that part which is not used
for commercial purposes usually goes
back to the soil. In much the same
way a great deal of the animal body
reaches the soil.
As soon as this material reaches the
soil it is attacked by millions of bacte
ria, which are known as the decompo
sition bacteria. These bacteria soon
cause a great many changes in the ma
terial, each change tending to break
down the complex into the more sim
ple compounds. A part of this material
is set free in the form of gases and is
lost in the atmosphere, but the greatest
part remains in the soil as a partly de
composed mass and is known as hu
mus. Different classes of bacteria continue
their work on this material after it has
reached the form of humus, decompos
ing it still further and building plant
food and other substances from it.
Thus we see that humus is continually
changing. It is never the same in two
different fields, and it also differs from
year to year in the same field.
The addition of manure to a field
does a great deal toward the formation
of humus. It not only adds decompos
ing matter to the soil, but it also adds
large numbers. of bacteria which form
humus out'of the material already in
the soil. Thus we find that if it were
not for the work of bacteria there
would not be any humus, as the various
plant and animal matter would not de
cay. Surely Banishes

The Stuff Successful Men Are Made of
The International Correspondence Schools are NOT closed xin
summer. All of our truly ambitious students those who think more
about the increased salaries their studies will qualify them to earn
than of the imaginary discomforts of summer study devote a nart of
each week to their studies all summer.
-rrrv A student wno wi" oily study in cold. weather punishes himself.
Why? Because he takes two or three times as long, in preparing him
self to earn more money, as the student who studies from a half hour
to an hour per day all the year round. We have enough letters on file
to make several very large books, the .general purport of which is-
"?h' lf i? ha1 nly taken up that Course 'when I first wrote you about
it! I have just missed a fine position, at largely increased wages, be
cause I wasn't prepared to fill it. I lacked just the special knowledge
I could have had from the Course." The writers of these letters never
have to be coaxed to study in summer NOW. They knew what delay
costs. Why not profit by THEIR experience, instead of taking the
same bitter medicine yourself?
Persons that suffer most from the heat are those that have noth
ing else to occupy their thoughts. A man who is interested in his
studies doesn't know how hot it is. He has no time to fret about the
weather. He is looking ahead a few months to the time when he can
demand advancement in position and salary, because his special educa
tion will have made his services of moB'alue to his employer. It is
no harder to read an Instruction Paper in Vftnmer than to read a news
paper. How many summer days are hot enough to prevent you from
reading the daily news? '
The man who promises himself that he will enroll next fall is
only trying to deceive his conscience. He may not know it, but he
is weakening his will-power, and it is will-power power to do what
one knows he must do to succeed that makes the man. A man of
weak will one who will study some day, but not now will always
be down in the world; always in "hard luck," frequently out of work,
and when employed, it will always be at low wages. He knows that a
knowledge of certain subjects will fit him to earn more; yet he stills
his conscience by promising to start later. Such a man isn't truly am
bitious. . He is one of the kind that always does the hard, menial work,
and draws small pay all his life. Are YOU ona of that kind. Are YOU
truly ambitious to earn more and make something of yourself? If you
wont study in summer you are NOT. If you prefer to fret about hot
weather, rather than forget it by studying, you are NOT.
The dangerous habit of "putting off" has ruined the lives of more
promising young men. than drunkenness. It is so easy to say "yes,
it's what I need; I'll start tomorrow next week some other time."
The difference between the man that makes a failure of life and the
man that succeeds is simply this: The failure is going to begin 'tomor
row;" the success begins today. 11
The men who "get there" are those that study for self-improvement
in summer, or whenever they have time. They don't let the
weather keep them in inferior posiions, at small wages. They don't
make excuses to themselves when they ought to be up and doing
They don't work for wages barely enough to keep soul and. body to
gether either. ' I

CHOCOLATE AS A FOOD.
It Should Be Eaten After and Never
Before Meals.
Chocolate is one of the most whole
some of foods. .But it ' should be re
served for eating after meals. Nothing
can be. worse than chocolate eaten
just before a meal, for then it ruins
the appetite. Chocolate should consist
of equal parts of sugar and cocoa.
When it contains, as most of that sold
in the cheap candy stores does, more
sugar than cocoa it loses much of its
real food value.
Koenig,. the great German chemist
who has done so much to enlighten the
world on the value of foods by publish
ing his analysis of them, says that
chocolate contains 6.27 per cent of pro
tein. .02 per cent of theobromine, 21.20
per cent of fat, 1.36 per cent of tar
taric aid 5.3.70 per cent of sugar, 4.07
per cent of starch, 1.67 per cent of cel
lulose and 5.50 per cent of other car
bohydrates. Therefore it is highly nu
tritive. Athletes, polar explorers and moun
tain climbers know this well. In the
Swiss Alps it is usual to carry choco
late in the pocket and to eat a little
of it whenever the climbers pause for
a rest But chocolate is fattening and
should therefore be eschewed by those
who have a tendency to too great cor
pulency. It is an ideal addition to the
diet of a vegetarian.
Chocolate and cocoa are almost as
stimulating as coffee and tea. but have
none of the injurious effects upon the
nervous system which are for many
people the great drawbacks of these
drinks.
Chocolate is best when made over
night and allowed to stand. New York

his own of taking his walks comfort
ably. A visitor in the neighborhood of
Sledmere would see the baronet set out

enough he would take off first one and

Hecilton, Md. Mr. George Richards,
of this place, during the past 12 years,
has probably tried more different diets
than the average person would ever use
in a lifetime.
What he has to say about his experi
ments, must therefore be highly interest
ing to anyone suffering from indigestion
or stomach troubles of any kind.
He says : "For more than 12 years,
I suffered with stomach troubles, and
paid hundreds of. dollars for doctor bills
and medicines. I was also operated on
for piles.
I lived on dried peaches and buttermilk
for nearly three years. The only thing
that would not give me pain was raw eggs.
I was a physical wreck. 1 could not

1 must say that after taking two 25-cenl

A Mystery
or inaia
By GROVER J. GRIFFIN
This story was told me by a retired
colonel of the British army. I do not
vouch for it but there are certain fea
tures about it that assure me that it is
not altogether improbable.
Edgar Oldershaw, a lieutenant in an
Irish regiment, went out to India with
his command. He was a great favor
ite with the Indian people and min
gled with them as much as if not more
than with his own countrymen. So
great was his influence upon them that
before he was twenty-five he was giv
en command of a native battalion.
Oldershaw fell in love with a Eura
sian girl, the daughter of an English
woman and an Indian nabob. She had
been brought up under Indian influ
ences; but. being of two races, it was
easy for her to incline to either. Nev
ertheless she was more Indian than
European. One thing was certain
that she was a very handsome girl,'
a fascinating creature, combining Eu
ropean manners with that' peculiar
mysticism pervading all India.
Oldershaw married the girl, but
within a few weeks after the marriage
began to look pale and thin. The sur
geons of the British army could not
make out what was the matter with
him. He was a man of excellent con
stitution, temperate in his habits, and.
so far as could be detected, each one
of his organs was in a healthy condi
tion. Nevertheless he seemed to be
under the influence of some disease.
Some of his European friends were
inclined to believe that his wife was
holding him under a spell. But there
was no evidence of this. Indeed, Mrs.
Oldershaw seemed to be very much
attached to her husband and greatly
troubled about his condition. The only
reason that his friends had for consid
ering her to be a possible cause for
this condition was that her English
mother had died a few" months after
the daughter's birth, and her death
had never been satisfactorily explain
ed. This was no reason at all. It
merely indicated that Europeans had
no faith in Indians.
Oldershaw was a long while ailing.
Some one noticed that whenever he
was ordered off on some service where
his wife could not go with him he
gradually recovered his health and
that when he returned to her he re
lapsed into his former condition. This
was talked about among Oldershaw's
army associates, or, rather, their wives,
but no one had the courage to speak
of it to the colonel. A friend suggest
ed to the invalid's medical adviser to
bring the matter before him, but the
surgeon politely declined.
Colonel Oldershaw lived a year after
his marriage, then died, having grad
ually succumbed to some influence,
weakness or mental trouble. No one
could give any definite cause for his
death. An autopsy was ordered, and
tests were made for poison, but with
out throwing any light as to the cause
of his death. This exonerated his
wife, if indeed she needed exoneration,
for every one who knew her intimately
declared that she sincerely mourned
her husband and was especially anx
ious that the cause of his strange ill
ness should be determined.

Oldershaw married an American, one
Edmond Baxter, a business man of
Calcutta. No one expected that she
would long remain single, for she was
only twenty-one at the time of Older
shaw's death, and besides being beau
tiful she was rich.
A month after his marriage Baxter
went to America on important busi
ness, it was said, leaving his wife in
Calcutta. He never returned. Of
course after awhile tongues began to
wag, people wondering if he might not
have discovered the secret of his pred
ecessor's death. . Be this as it may,
he remained in America, while his
wife lived in India. Xo one ever
heard of any divorce between the two.
but Mrs. Baxter did not take another
husband till news came from America,
nine years after her second marriage,
that her husband had died of an or
dinary disease.
The widow was still a handsome
woman, not much over thirty and rich.
Time had somewhat erased the early
reports of some malign influence upon
the men she married. She took a third
husband, this time an Jndian. He
lived six years, when he died a per
fectly natural death at least, so read
the certificate.
It seems that a young assistant sur
geon of a British regiment, hearing of
the case of Colonel Oldershaw, resolv
ed to hunt up an explanation of the
mystery, now he learned what he did
would take too long to tell. When a
little girl, her toother having died, the
subject of this story fell to the care of
a'woman who made a poison girl of
her that is. she gave the child small
doses of poison, increasing them till
she conld bear to take a large quan
tity and her breath was 'poisonous to
another. The outrage hud been dis
covered and stopped, but not before
the child had partially become infected.
Each of the cases pertaining to her
husbands was then accounted for.
When she became the wife of Colonel
Oldershaw the poison she had taken
was effective. When she married a
second time it had largely passed
away. Quite likely, by the time she
married the Indian it-hail died out al
together. That tliere are persons in India who
have become poison proof by taking
small and increasing doses is a fact,
but whether they can infect others I
do not know.
NIGHT.
Must day return again? Will
earthly influence never cease?
Unholy toil desecrates the heav
enly calm of night. When shall
the mystic sacrifice of love burn
forever? Light has its own fix-
ed limits, but night has a bound
less, unfathomable dominion.
The reign of sleep has no end.
Holy sleep, shed thy blest balm
on the hallowed night of this
earthly sphere. Only fools fail
to understand thee and know of
no other sleep than the shades
which the actual night casts
over us in kindly pity. They
see thee not in the purple blood
of the grape, in the golden oil
of the almond, in the dusty sap
of the poppy. They guess not it
is thou who hoverest around the
tender maiden, making her heart
the temple of heaven, nor dream
it is thou, heavenly messenger,
who bearest the key which opens
the dwellings of the Blessed.
