This ta&atraok the listener as a bit novel, and he asked the man who made it if the act of a manager sitting in his own theater for a few moments, apparently contented, was anything re­ markable. "Yes, sir*" he said promptly, "Jack Haverly, for instance, never sat an act through in his own theater or any other in his life. And I could mention other managers who never do." Forty-eight hours afterward the list­ ener to this information, met one of the oldest (in experience) ex-theatrical managers in the West--a man who has retired from actual management, but one who knows more of the stage and stage people than any one in the pro­ fession. His name is John Allen, at one time a manager for Mr. Haverly, and many times a manager for himself. He said the information about man­ agers never sitting a play through, or an act, was nothing surprising to him. It was a mystery to him how some man­ agers ever knew what was going on in their own houses. "Mr. Hooley," he continued, Mis not of this number. He generally keeps track of his house, but he manages to do it without occupying one of his own private boxes or posing in the foyer. John Hamlin always puts in the entire evening at the Grand on the first presentation of a piece. Hav­ erly never did in his life, and you couldn't hire him to do it. MeVicker does when he is here, not only one even­ ing but many. He knows more, however, about his own house and the houses of others than all the managers in this city and country combined. I don't like him personally, but I take off my hat to him and bow to him respectfully as the best theatrical manager in the United States." The assertion sounded sweeping. It took in everything and for this reason eacited a doubt in the listener. "Best in some specialties," he remarked. "No, sir, best in everything," an­ swered the retired manager, with a fire in his manner which seemed to have kindled his recollections. Til prove it to you, and I'll venture to say that what 1 am going to tell you will be backed up by the legitimate managers of this country. When I say legitimate managers, I mean men who make the stage an institution where people may learn. I don't mean a speculative man­ ager. And I make the assertion that nine-tenths of the managers of this country are simply speculators in the business. That's why the legitimate business of the stage has degenerated." He came back to his proof that Mc- Yicker was the best manager. "He is the only manager in the country," said Allen, "who can cast any of the legiti­ mate plays or the classical plays with­ out the aid of the acting edition. He can not only cast them entire, but he can put them on his stage and superin­ tend the whole piece While he is himself in the cast. If every copy of 'Hamlet,' 'Macbeth,' 'Richard IIL,' 'Othello,' or any of those plays were wiped out of existence, McVieker could sit down and, from memory, could come so near reproducing each and every one that the average theater-goer, who is not up in the classics, would never know the difference. And he would give the cast of each one without a single mistake. He could do the same thing with 'In- gomar.' "Now, let'me tell yon a story on this point. In the play of ' Hamlet' there is a priest. The character is an im­ portant one, but it is never in the cast of the average manager. In fact, Mc- Yicker is the only manager, except my­ self--and I took the cue from him who oan cast ' Hamlet' and not leave out the priest. Once when Mac was asked to cast the characters in ' Ham­ let ' from memory--entire, mind you-- he did so. While he was jotting them down as rapidly as I am talking, almost, the two managers who had asked him to do it were making a bet. One of them bet he would leave oxrt the priest. He lost. "But let me tell you one thing, he is the only thorough theatrical manager, in every sense of the word, in the country to-day, and Louie Sharpe is nearer' like him than any assistant manager." "Mr. Haverly could acaroely do these wonderful things which yaa ascribe to the man you don't like 7* "No; neither could Hoaley, Hamlin, Shelby or Engle. Why, Lester Wal- lack couldn't do it to save his soul. Haverly 1 I'll bet my life that--pro­ vided you caa get him to sit still long enough--you may seat Jack Haverly in any theater, before any play, I care not what it ia, and unless yea put a lull of the play in his hand he can't tell you what the piece is. Now. I say this as •M fact, and not through any feeling. I have managed a theater for him, and I know what I am saying. One day, while McCullough was at Haverly'* theater, playing Yirginius, he came into the office, where Haverly, Fitz­ simmons and I were sitting. He strode in, and, glaring at Haverly, asked: •" 'Mr. Haverly, where's my truaeh- eon?* A truncheon, von, know, is * small stick or staff, about six or ten inches loag and as big around as your three fingers put together. It is always carried in the hand of a Roman charac­ ter, and was originally used by Roman promiuents to roll their edicts or com­ mands upon. A man can carry one in his vest pocket, almost. Haverly glared at Fitzsimmons, and Fitx turned red in the face--the only time lie ever blushed in his life. 'Where is it?' roared McCullough, who was begin- cittg to enjoy t'he situation. Fitzsim­ mons finally made a break. He called up a stage-carpenter and said: 'Take thr.ee or four of your best men and go and bring tip Mr. McCullough's truncheon.' 'Yes,' put in Haverly, 'take more if necessary; get an express wagon and bring Mr. McCullough his tinnclieon.' McCulleugh went away like h cannon-ball. Fitzsimmons re­ marked to Haverly: 'I didn't know what be meant at first--I misunder­ stood him.' " ' Curse your soul, Fite,' screamed Haverly, 'you don't know now what he ir»nt any more than I do.'" - • A Brazilian Milk Caffc '; The way of supplying Para, Brazil, with milk is novel and primitive, though it haa, indeed, some advantages that would commend it to those who appre­ ciate the privilege of diluting the lac­ teal fluid according to their own taste.

The lobster and the crab have their eyes at the end of small tubes, which they can move in various directions, or make longer or shorter as they find it convenient. The star-fish has five eyes at the end of the points, which give very good sight. The body is composed mainly of a jelly substance, thick at the center, and is flat like a pancake when at rest, but is moved slowly by bringing the edges together, making a kind of cup, which moves the body along as the wa­ ter is pressed out. If tins singular creature had only two eyes in one place he could not see all around, as his jelly body is too thick. When he grows old this jelly is wasted away, leaving the star plainly to be seen. Some of the lower order of creation are not satisfied with two eyes only, but have them by the thousands. What Beems to be an eye, on each side of the head of the fly, very large, is a com­ pound eye, having 4,000 facets or eyes, each one of which is a perfect eye, but not moveable like ours. This is like a pepper-box, th«f small eyes correspond­ ing with the holes in the cover. The fly has also three in the front of the head, in all making 8,000 eyes just for one small creature. But there are other creatures still ' richer in sight. Th« horsefly has 8,000, the butterfly 34,000, the dragon fly 48,000, the beetle 50,000. It is not strange, therefore, that it ia not easy to approach any of these creat­ ures without being seen, since ev«ery one of these eyes is pointing in a differ­ ent direction, like a pistol. If these creatures were compelled to wear gold- bowed glasses for each eye what an enormous sum of money it would take o buy the supply.

If aay OM had informed Queen Elisabeth in her palmiest days that th; could have been seated in her palace in London and convened with Sr Walter Raleigh in bis North Carolina home, receiving a reply from him within an hour's t me, she would have declared it to be a miracle. And yet, had they lived in the { rasent day, this apparent miracle would most readily have b en wit- n. s8jd and not seem at ail strange cr un­ natural. Ihe truth i*, new prmu tles, are coming into existence, and the operation of many laws unknown in thj past is being fully understood in the pr pe.it. In no way does th s fact come more forcibly to the mind th m in the care and treatment of the human IK dy. Million* of people have died in pasi aj{Wfro.n tome insijmuioant or e&sily- contio led cuu e which is thoroughly under­ stood now and readily hautLed. Consump­ tion during the en.ire past has been con­ sidered an incurable d sease. Ana yet it is derncnitrated that it has keen ana can be, cured, even af: er it has had a JO A? run. Dr. Felix Oswa d ^as jus. contributed a notable article on Ik.8 gub eot to the Pupulat Si ietute Monthly. He regards consumpt:ou as pul- moncry scrofu.a The lmpunt.es of the blood produce a constant iiriuution in the lungs, thus de troying the.r deli­ cate tuques and causing death. His theory shows conclusively that con­ sumption is a blood disease. It has its origin primarily in a deranged condition of the kidneys or liver, the oniy two organs of the body, "aside from the lungs, that purify the blood. When the kidneys or liver are diseased they are in a sore or lacerated state, which communicates poison through every ounce of blood that passe, through them. This poisonous blood circulates through the system and come* to the lungs, where the poison Is deposited, causing de­ composition in the linely-formed cells of the lungii Any diseased parr of the body has contaminating power, and yet the blood, which is the life of the system, is brought into direct contact with these poisoned organs, thus carrying contagion to all parts of the body. Bishop Jesse T. Peck, I). D., LL D., whose death has Leon so recently regretted, is reported to have died of pneu- monin, which medical authorities affirm in­ dicates a dise:used condition ot the kidneys It is well known, moreover, that for several years he has been the victim of severe kidney trouble, and the pneumonia which finally terminated his life was only the last result i f the previous blood-poisoning. The deadly matter wn.ch is left in the lungs by the impure bktod clogs up and finally cbokes the patient When this is accomplished rapidly it is called pneumonia, or quick con­ sumption; when siowly, consumption, but in any e vent it i-> the result of impure blood, caused by diseased kidneys and liver. These are tacts of science, and vouched f .r by all the le.iding physician* of the day. They*show the desirability--nay, the neces­ sity,' of keeping these most important of- gah« in peitect condition, not only to insure health, but also to iscap? death It has been fully shown, to t ie satisfaction or ne a .y every unprejudiced mind, that War­ ner R Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is the only known remedy that can cure and keep in health the gi eat blood-purifvir.g organs of the body, it acts directly upon these mem­ bers healing all ulcers wnich may have formed in them and p a ;ing them in a con­ dition to purity and not poison the blood.
