FALLING ON THE STAGE. &n Aetrrm Tctl How H. Ih Done Dangri or (Setting Hurt. "Wnnt to know how wo fall?" Bald the beautiful, graceful woman "Why, hco. this way First your kuee. mid then your Iiip, and then your nhoulder, and you arc down;" and the graceful fipuru was prone am tho carpet with outstretched anus Every fold of her htco dranvry in tho pret tiest possihlo place, not an Inch of her unklo or gleam of tho snowy ukirts was visible, and tho falling has been as nolso less and gracoful as a butterfly's dip and swoop down to tho heart of ti roso. Then, with n supple graco and quick, agile spring, bIio was on her feot In a second. "In this way sideways, you see," and with n dip and curve and sweep of the loco draperies, down sho floated as swift amd noiseless as a swallow's downward sweep, and sho lay apparently lifeless, with her faco hidden. Another little spring and she floated backward into a chair 60 limp and faint that oven tho smilo on her lips hardly reassured you that it wasn't an actual sudden faintness, "Wo aro taucht In tho schools, and practlco on a rug at homo first, you know; and or rourso wo got many bruises winie learning. Wo fall first to tho kneo and then to tho hip, tho shoulder, and down. Of course wo do this very slowly at first and awkwardly, but wo do it over and over ngain until ono fall blends into tho other so completely that you cannot dis tinguish it. Oh, yes, it is hard at first, but nil thero Is to it is to tako all tho will out of your body and collapse. Mako j"our muscles Involuntary and inspired with tho part you aro playing, bo that at tho proper time you will fall almost un consciously, and then you won't bo hurt. Oar prompter fainted tho other night, and fell and hurt himself very badly. Now, 1 could fall in a faint a hundred times nnd not bo hurt you seo my fall is .an unconsciously mechanical action. You jjo into a familiar room in tho dark and your body will unconsciously tako tho right direction to avoid coming in con tact vith tho objects in tho room, bo my ibody takes tho mechanical curvo and polso rerpildlto to avoid a hurt without xny thinking anything about it if I mako myself perfectly inert give myself all up, you know. "1 have been hurt sovcral times. Those old fashioned sloping stages wero treach erous afTairs, and very often when play ing on nn unfamiliar otago wo wero hurt. T remember going down bang on my noso onco almost broke it. Everything was dark for a minute, nnd then there Hashed out all tho constellations known to man, .and eoveral moro that haven't been dis 'Oovcred, but I went on with my part and no ono know. Then I had another full that made my hip black all over thought that would nover got well, for I had to fall on it every night, no matter how it hurt. "Aro wo afraid of being hurt? Oh, no. Wo aro constantly in danger. Great heavy things aro hanging over our heads that, 'if some stage carpenter shall blunder or eoino piece of machinery break, would como down and mako short work of us. I liad a heavy iron bar fall not four inches from my l'Kco onco, and a man cut my forehead with a dagger, and other pcoplo havo accidents, but wo don't think any thing ubout thorn after it Is over. Llko nervous pcoplo on shipboard fancy boforo they sail that they uro going to think of ttltelr danger all tho time, but two days out they will forget all their fear and feci as safe as on land. So wo throw our selves down on tho boards and roll off sofas nnd down terraces and out of chairs. Ituowing wo might break our bones, but jiovor thinking of it. No ono over did much a fearfully dangerous thing as that JuTss Fetter, though. It seemed strange tho papers didn't speak of It boforo, for It just seemed cruel lor her to endanger her lier health and oven her life just to make ono more funny point in tho pluy- "JMon Bay tiomotimes that women fall inoro ousllv and lightly than they them selves. This may bo true, for women are supplo, lithe and elitist i,-mill not so tall, for tho fall Is just as nu'diauical. Pcoplo only watch thoprot,,, curves and graco ful sweep of a wonwn's drapery, and do not seo tho mechanical studied action underneath. Wo lloat down very grace fully, but tho floating is done as accu rately na a problem In geometry." Now York Sun. Not n I. Ilo of i Luxury. Oh! I havo had m many non-profes sional people go into ecstasies over our calling in lll'o, IVrhaps you think it a Jlfo of luxury Well, it is not.

Some of us aro mar rtod uud support husbands that is, some chorus girls but not any In our com pony, uud niott of them havo tendor at tachments in tho company who will not permit a dudo to get closer to us than u hundred yards. 1 wish somo of tho young ladies who uro sighing to bo chorus girls could seo us at homo, over our gas stoves, cooking frugal meals, or sitting for hours darning holes lu our tights. 1 don't think nftor quo little o.perleueoof this kind tho ladies would euro to undergo unother.
