THE ART IN ACTING.
(omKlCttlMa'
A building up
of the entire system follows the use
J. v
of Dr. Pieroo’s Favorito Prescrip
tion. It[s an invigorating, rcstora-.
Till. K».nll»l Point In Which th. Actor
liur.i-. from tlic Drum.tl.t.
A great French critic said once, in
concluding an essay, that acting was the
lowest of the arts. He admitted that it
was an art, but only by courtesy. I
agree with him, and I do not think it
requires much reasoning to arrive at that
conclusion. The mimetic art means
simply the interpretation of the creative
art. Do you catch the idea? A pupil in
the beans arts may sketch the Venns de
Milo on paper with such vigor that his
fellows are wonderstruck. Bnt the vi

tivo tonic, soothing cordial^ and doe. not place the artist next the u’uitue’s
bracing nervine — and a certain
remedy for all the fanotionol de
rangements, painful disorders or
chronic weaknesses peculiar to wo
men. It improves digestion, en
riches tho blood, dispels aches and
pains, melancholy and nervousness,
brings refreshing sleep, and restores
flesh and strength. For periodical
pains, internal inflammation and ul
ceration, leucorrhea and kindred ail
ments, it is a positive specifio—a
guaranteed one. If it fails to give
i satisfaction, in any case, the money
paid for it is refunded. No other
medicine for women is sold on these
terms. With an ordinary medicine,
It can’t be done.
That’s the way its makers prove
their faith in it. Contains no aloo-
Aol to inebriate; no syrup or sugar
to derange digestion; a legitimate
•medicine, not a beverage. Purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless in
any condition of the system.

This is the way
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don’t
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’
wear, you can return it and
•have your money.
Comfort isn’t all of it
though. Soft Eyelets, and
’’bones" that can’t break or
kink—Ball’s corsets bavs
both of these. N

maker, nor does the representation of
Phedre put the actor on the pedestal of
Racine.
The sculptor, the painter, the drama
tist, the musician—they create. A thou
sand different persons, a thousand differ
ent things rush to be assimilated by their
genius. The effect is an aggregate of
beings taken from the whole of a na
ture. The individuality of the creative
genius is deepened, bat is not annihi
lated. His art is of the highest, because
he is the embodiment, the representa
tive of nature. Balzac said that to de-
icribe a landscape he turned himself for
the moment into trees and grass, and
fonntains and stars, and sunlight, and
thus reached the heart of that which he
would reproduce. In other words, he
created the landscape just as Rousseau
would create the saraq landscape upon
six inches of canvas.
Bat for the actor—let him stonu Par-
nassns as he will; there are few leavee in
the lanrel crown. It is bis fnnetion to
represent the creations of genius—to in
terpret them to the public. He has not
the thousand inspirations of the author:
he has only the suggestions of the glow
ing words. The actor is subservient to
the author, notwithstanding he mny for
get his bondage for a brief five minutes
and breathe the free air of genius.
There was an age in France, they say,
when uetors were provided simply with
the framework of tho drama and left to
improvise the rest. In fact, Goldoni, the
Italian dramatist, speaks of supplying
(dots to the French king’s players from
which they improvise the speeches. But
we have no evidence that the actors rose
Above the level of the Chinese stage of
today, where a similar practice prevails.
Mind you, this opinion is not accepta
ble to the public. I know it must be
unpopular of necessity. The public
looks upon Sidelong, Mars or Rachel in
terpreting the grand creations of gen
ius and regards the actor ns the em
bodiment of Shakespeare or Racine or
Corneille. The public shonts with ap
plause when tne actor trembles with
feigned passion, bnt this same public
forgets that the words, the action, the
expression are all simply echoes of an
other genius. In the clamor of approval
the creative art is forgotten, although
that is the base of the entire structure.
No actor brings this genius nearer to
the heart of the public, to be snre, bnt
at the same time let him remember that
he is only the interpreter, after all, and
the shonts are really for Shakespeare
and Racine.
And, to end with a suggestion, is not
the actor’s art akin to the journalist’s—
that ia, in the relation of the latter to
literature? It seems to me that the
ilayhouse and the newspaper go hand
n band. They are popular vehicles of
thought, and are within the scope of
the people. Perhaps this is not flatter
ing and perhapa it la nnjnst—bnt then,
It is only a suggestion.—Sarah Bernhardt

How tb. Starfish E*t. tit. OyiUr. _ - , . —
Tho starfish is a curious animal. Its QrOnZG, Ula IfOn, UT-
mouth is directly in the center, and al
most immediately under it ia the atom-
aoh, while the digestive organs are in Its
arms. Starfish eat oysters, bat natural
ists differ as to the precise way In which
they dsvonr them. Ancient naturalists
believed Asi the starfish waited for a
moment when the oyster opened its
valves to Introduce one of its rays Into
the opening, and baring pat one foot
Into the domicile it toon pat the other
four in and finished np by devouring
the native. Modern observations bavs
proved that this Is not quite correct.
Some naturalists assert that, on ob
taining possession of the oyster, the star
fish brings bis month to the edge of th#
shell and then with the assistance of a
Bold which its month secretes it forces
open the valve* and the entrance la ob
tained. Another naturalist gives a dif
ferent explanation of the transaction,
namely, that the oyster is seised by the
starfish and held tight by ita month;
the starfish then everts its stomach and
envelops the oyster, which farces it to
open Its shell However this may be, it
is clear that the starfish swallows oys
ters in the earns manner as human be
ings.—London Tit-Bits.
