EDWIN BOOTH.
Representative American Tragedian
and the Value of hl "Work.
Whatever differences of opinion
may exist as to the exact position in
the ranks of great actora which will
be awarded hereafter to Air. Edwin
Booth by the final verdict of history,
there can be no doubt that he now is,
and has been for many years, the
representative tragedian of the
United States. This pre-eminence
has been conferred upon him not
only by general agreement of the
critics, but by the vote of the public,
which, so far as a living actor is con
cerned, is the final court of appeal.
His most ferveqt admirers claim for
him genius of the highest kind, while
his detractors, who are few and in
significant, pretend that he is wholly
devoid of inspiration a manifestly
absurd and malicious conclusion.
The ill-judged enthusiasm of friends,
however, is more dangerous to the
reputation of au actor than the unjust
assaults of enemies, inasmuch as it is
likely to create expectations which
cannot be realized and thus provoke
disappointment. The word "genius" is
abused so recklessly by careless writ
ers, and applied so indiscriminately,
that it is often difficult to understand
just what itis meant to express. If, in
the case of an actor, it is intended to
signify a fine and cultivated intelli
gence, a keen perception of the dra
matic possibilities of a character, &
complete mastery of all theatrical de
vice, a correct taste, rare declama
tory powers, a thorough knowledge
of the principles of elocution, of tho
significance of gesture and a facial
expression, or if it is held to include
such physical qualifications as an at
tractive form, a handsome, mobile
face and a melodious voico, Mr. Booth
has all these qualifications in an
eminent degree. If, on tho other
hend, the word is employed in its
strictest sense, to express tho rarest
and heaven-sent gift which has made
a few blest mortals tbe beacon lights
of the centuries, Air. Booth does not
possess it. It cannot, for instance,
bo said of him that to see him in cer
tain parts is to "read Shakespeare by
flashes of lighting." Nor is this any
thing to his discredit. Tho stage does
not owo its greatest debt to its undis
puted geniuses. Edmund Kcan was
a meteor, but ho did nothing to ad
vance the art of which he was a mas
ter, and the elder Booth, if a greator,
is certainly a less admirablo flguro
than his son. An actor who simply
astounds by his brilliancy in certain
passages of a play ought not to bo
compared artistically with the actor
who, by sheer force of labor, intelli
gence and self-culture, maintains a
high level of excellence throughout
his performance. The distinguishing
merit of Edwin Booth is tho complete
ness of his artistic equipment and the
intellectual brightness which irradi
ates all his performances. His Iago
is perhaps his mastorpiece. It is
brain-work from beginning to end, a
marvel of cold diabolism, finished to
the finger-nails, showing the fullest
appreciation of tho great mastoids
purpose. His Richelieu, again, is
extraordinary in its finesse and elab
oration, its saturnine humor and its
melodramatic cleverness. Thero is
not quite tho truo note of passion in
the famous defiance, but the gradual
approach to the climax is effected
with the rarest skill. In Bertuccio
tho elaboration and the intellectual
keenness are equally noticeable and
in the sceno before the doors of tho
banquet hall the actor reaches a pitch
of emotion which approaches inspira
tion very nearly. These are the three
greatest performances of Mr. Booth
and each of them would place him in
the front rank. His Hamlet is per
fect in execution and is perhaps the
most famous of his impersonations,
but tho mechanism is too plain and
the performance excites admiration
by its finish rather than its truth. In
the mad scenes of Lear tho intellect
ual and artistic resources of Sir.
Booth are displayed by numberless
illustrative artifices and there is truo
pathos of a very rare kind in the rec
ognition of Cordelia. His Richard is
a very fine performance in all but tho
last act, when ho becomes melodram
atic rather than tragic. It is, how
ever, incomparably the best to b
seen on our stage.
This summary, which only refers
to a small part of his repertory, is
necessarily imperfect, but indicates
the range and limitations of his abili
ties. His piniona are not quite strong
enough for tho loftiest flights, but he
is nearer the sun than any of his English-speaking
contemporaries. He is
an artist from tho top to the toe and
he is entitled to high honor both
as actor and man. It is to be hoped
that there is no foundation for the
rumor of his approaching retirement,
for the stage cannot now spare him.
He is in the full ripeness of hii
powers.
Welchtlns at Head and Waist
Negresses and the working women
of Europe habitually carry weights
on their heads. I have seen a vigor
ous young woman in tho Pyrenees
handle a trunk with Buch dexterity
as an American bacgage smasher
might emulate with" advantage to
helpless travelers. Poising it upon
her head, the peasant girl strode off
with her burden in a way that would
have been utterly impossible had she
borne the weight lower. It is the
carrying of water bottles on the head
that has given Roman and certain
Eastern women so flno a camajre.

children, fretted over little things, a

the troubles peculiar to their. sex.

KeeplBC Keeas Coel.
A cool place should never be ven
tilated, unless the air admitted is
cooler than the air within, or is at
least a3 cool as that. The warmer
the air, the more moisture it holds in
suspension. Necessarily, the cooler
the air, the more this moisture is
condensed and precipitated. When
a cool cellar is aired on a warm day
the entering air being in motion ap
pears cool; bat as it fills the cellar,
the cooler air with which it becomes
mixed chills it, the moisture is con
densed, and dew i3 deposited on the
cold walls, and may often be seen
running down them in streams. To
avoid this, the windows should only
bo opened at night, and late the
last thing before retiring. There is
no need to fear that the night air is
unhealthfnl it is a3 pure as the air
of midday, and is really drier. Th
cool air enters tho apartment during
the night, and circulates through it.
The windows should be closed before
sunrise in the morning, and kppt
closed ind shaded through the dav.
