Freedom for u5an who pleaded guilty to selling merchandise valued at nearly $100,(XX), which did not helong to him and appropriating the money and six years in prison for another who stole 25 cents, were the portions met* (lout to two prisoners in a New York court a short time ago.

It is alleged that by deceit the firm obtained a high commericial rating on the strength of which they bought #100,000 worth of goods on credit, disposed of them at a forced sale for cash and invested the proceeds in real estate. Then they sailed for, Europe. Action taken by the ci editors forced the firm into bankruptcy and last year the brothers were indicted for grand larceny. When Henry was arraigned and entered a plea of guilty, a representative of the creditors appeared, in court and asked that sentence be suspended, as the prioner and his brother had made partial payment and promised to make complete satisfaction. Henry's brother, .Joseph, probably will not be brought to trial. The man who went to prison was John Clark, who has no home. He is 45 years old and had served two previous sentences in Sing Sing. Clark was walking up the . ^wery a week ago when he saw a barbel standing in front of his shop Hipping a silver quarter in the air. Clark sprang upon him seizing the coin and started to run away. He had gone but a few steps when lie ran into the arms of a policeman. "1 had to do this or starve," Clark told the judge, when he was arraigned for sentence. 44 Whenever 1 try to get honest work 4 1> A AA?-\fl lrMAAlr *V\ A Ant luu i\uutiv uixs uuti TntHt Hunting k'AHftino, All that has so far been clone against trust plundering is merely scratching the surface. Not a trust has been forced to reduce its enormous proiits and indeed the cost of living has greatly increased since the so-called trust busting began. Does not this show that the Republican politicians, although making faces at the trust in public, are secretly allowing them to continue their predatory warfare on the people. If the Republican party really wished to prevent the trusts selling their products cheaper abroad than here, the leaders in Congress would have allowed some sort of tarIH revision bill to pass. Rut all the bills for that purpose have been voted down in com in il t o.o bv a mi rt v vnt i> ? ? j r*-even the bill to reduce the tarilT to 100 per cent on those articles that are taxed over that enormous percentage. The fact is the trust busting campaign is intended to just scare the trusts and combines enough so they will Rcome down with the dust". The campaign fund in that way is replenished and the corporations and the Republican leaders are combined for a new lease of life. That pleasant pastime is rather expensive for the people for all they buy has advanced on an average 47 percent since the present tar 11' law was enacted. I hf* Miff Ft*!)

THE ART OF ACTING. Wkat Amateurs Who Would Heroine Stars Must Lvnru. It is surprising to discover liow very differently people who have played parts all their lives deport themselves before the footlights. I was acquainted with a lady in London who had ! been the wife of a peer of the realm, I who had been ambassadress at foreign courts, who at the time ha 1 been a reigning beauty and who came to me longing for a new experience and imploring mo to give her an opportunity to appear upon the stage. In a weak moment I consented, and, as I was producing a play, I cast her for a part which I thought she would admirably suit?that of a society woman. What that woman did and didn't do on the stage passes all belief. She became entangled in her train, she could neither sit down nor stand up, she shouted, she could not be porsuad- i ed to remain at a respectful distance, J but Insistod upon shrieking Into the Actor's oars, and she committed all the gaucherlcs you would expect from an untrained country wench. Hut because everybody is acting in private life every one thinks he can act upon the stage, and there is no profession that has so many critics. Every Individual in the audience Is a critic and knows all about tlio art of acting. But acting is a gift. It cannot be taught. You can teach people how to act acting, but you cannot teach them to act. Acting is as much an inspiration as the making of great poetry and groat pictures. What is commonly called acting Is acting acting.?Richard Mansfield in Atlantic. OLD ROMAN BATHS. They Held Theater*, Temple*, 1 >iNT Hulla and Libraries. The ancient Romans were extrava- | gantly fond of bathing. They got their notions about the hath us a luxury from the Greeks, and at one time there were nearly IKK) public bathing establishments in Itome, some of which were the most beautiful and elaborate atruc- , tures In the world. The baths of the Emperor Diocletian covered more than half n square mils and contained, besides Immense basins and thousands of marble recesses, theaters, temples, halls for feasting, promenades planted with trees, libraries, schools for youth and academies for the discussions of the learned. The bathers sat on marble benches below the surface of the water, around the edge of the basins, scraping themselves with dull knives of metal and Ivory and taking occasional plunges Into tho water. Dissipated Romans would spend whole days In the bath, seeking relief from overindulgence In eating and drinking the night before. Everybody, even the emperor, used these baths, which were open to every one who chose to pay the price of admission. It was not usual for tho old Romans to have baths In their houses, though at a date 1,500 years before that, or 3,500 years ago, the noblemen of an- ! clent Greece had their dwellings supplied with baths of terra cotta. Dlootl From n Stone. The open terrace in front of the Dewan-l-Khus consists of two thrones, the black one of which, facing the river, was cut out of a single slab of stone In 1G03. This black throne, which Is about eleven feet long and support- 1 ed by octagonal pedestals, was built by Akbar In recognition of his son's title to the empire. Here Jchangir used to sit occasionally and seo the ; fight of wild animals arranged for his amusement. The crack on the throne is believed to have been caused by Lord Lake's bullet falling upon It during the attack of 1803. According to tradition, however, it cracked when the .Tat king of Hharatpur sat on the throne, for it was meant to be used by ; none but the real descendants of the i great mogul. Then, again, when Lord Ellenborough sat on it during the Ka-1 bul war in 1842 blood is supposed to have come out of It. ? East Indian World* Flail For tlia Drain.

It la Still Rmor(rd to by Doctor* In Ortuln UnicrKrncIc*. Bloodletting, or "veneeoctlou," as it j is known scientifically, was once the j common remedy for nearly every form I of ailment. Washington died of it. In the opinion of modern medical authorities, and soon after his time there was a reaction against venesection. Better medicinal agents accomplished whatever benefits were attributed to this heroic treatment, and a better knowledge of physiology condemned the practice. Venesection, however, is still employed in certain emergencies by the most advanced practitioners. A (ler- j man physician has made an extensive ! study of the subject, with clinical ex- j poriments, and reaches the conclusion i that in certain cases where the heart 1 ami lungs are engorged with blood venesection is permissible because of the speedy relief it gives, often after other resources have failed. Deadly toxins are also present in the blood in some diseases, and venesection I reduces them. The lost fiuUl is replaced with an Injection of salt solution. Bloodletting nfYords relief to the livid sufferer from a distended heart when i every breath is a struggle, but Its uso lias been reduced to an exact science, and It Is regarded in medicine as a final resort for giving ease in a comparatively restricted group of allinents. The days when it was a cure-all, administered by the corner hnrher as well as every pl^vslcian. have disappeared Into the past.?New York Press.

When one thinks of the newfangled Ideas about health and seen people on very hand hunting for disease germs In water, milk, meat, fruit and the atmosphere, analyzing everything, dreading swallowing and In constant fear with every mouthful they eat, one almost wonders whether or not 11 fo la worth living.

Imagine a plant four feet in extreme height from the ground to the tip of leaves. A single stalk nt the surface, but dividing at once Into swordlike blades or leaves, fifteen in number, from the center of which appears ft stiff, upright stem, at the top of which is the fruit. This stem Is short, and the crown of the fruit when fully grown la a foot or more below the points of the leaves. At the end of a year nnd ft half from planting each plant produces a single fruit, even as a cabbage plant produces a singlo head. Put the pineapple does not die after fruiting onco. Down on the stem below the fruit and among the long, narrow leaves a sucker appears. If allowed te remain this will soon become the head of the plant, and witliln another year It will yield another fruit. This process may go on for a term of years. In the meantime, however, other suckers will make their appearance. These are broken olT, and when stuck Into the ground they put out roots and become other plants. Thus a single pineapple plant may produce a dozen or more others while It Is yielding fruit from year to year.?New York Ilerald.

The medicine men among tho Zunl Itullans perform a feat at the annuui "corn festival" which surpasses tho famous mango growing trick of the Hindoo. Many scientists have been present to witness this strange ceremony, but have never been able to fathom the mystery of it. In front of the southern opening of the medicine lodge a large square of clean yellow sand, carefully smoothed a nil packed, is spread. With a ceremonial arrow ligures representing tho Great Spirit, the earth, sun, sky and rain are drawn. There are also the nf I lm r?rvt??i ami 11 lo\* 1?? i I f % * 1 WJ VI tliv V.VM II U l?V4 ? IMMIIllli III harvest. The Indentations made by the arrow are then tilled in with pigments, blue for the sky and clouds, black for the earth and chrome yellow for the harvest. The middle of the square Is left vacant. This picture in sand painting is n most pleasing specimen of bar baric art. Tlie hour for the ceremony arrives, and at the right moment the medicino man comes forth from his lodge and takes a seat in the opening of the lodge, facing the sand square. The warriors and chiefs arrange themselves around the square according to rank. The ceremonial pipe is then tilled and lighted, and the medicine man blows one puff in each direction of the compass and two to the heavens. lie then makes an address, going over the past history of tho tribe and the kindness of tho Great Spirit and his caro. llo concludes with a prayer for the continuance of this favor. The great moment lias arrived. With Impressive solemnity the medicine man thrusts tho sacred arrow into tho sand, withdraws it nnd places a grain of corn into the hole thus made. Carefully smoothing tho sand over it, he resumes his seat, while tho assembled chiefs smoke their pipes In stolid silence. If the Great Spirit condescends to answer the nrnver of tlie medicine tnnn? nnd ho generally does?the corn will sprout anil send up a shoot. After nn Interval of fifteen or twenty minutes tho sand seems disturbed at tho spot where the grain of corn was planted, and soon the slender green blades of tho sprouting corn are seen above the surface. The plant continues to grow rapidly and naturally during tho day, and by the next sunrise the silk and tassels appear. Iiy noon the stalk and ear have reached full maturity and the ripening begins. Fiuallj' the blades and husks turn yellow and rnttlo when tho wind shakes them. All this, we must bear In mind, has been done in thirty-six hours. On the morning of tho second day the corn growing Is complete. The medicine man now addresses the watchers who In company with him have watched the plant grow, for It Is never left alone. With appropriate ceremonies he si'mbolizes tho harvest by stripping the ear from the husks and placing the corn In his bag for future use. The stalk Is pulled up by tho roots and hung over tho door of tho lodge.?New York Herald. No Holiday. People have different Ideas as to what constitutes a holiday?or a vacation. Mrs. I'ettls had her own firmly fixed opinions 011 the subject. "I don't count Thnnksglvlng or Christmas or Washington's birthday or nny of those holidays," she said frankly to an old friend one day. "What I count a holiday Is when Ezra and Jim and Bob nnd Llphlet go off up to the wood lot with their dinner and I know they won't be back till night. "I'm not one to deny that men folks have their good points, but how a woman can call it a holiday when they're In tho house calling for food by looks when they aren't by words is beyond me!"?Youth's Companion.

Human beings who <lo not have to actually forage for food naturally enough feel that It Is thoughtfulness Itself to save the squirrels work. Tho fact Is, however, that a squirrel's teeth grow so rapidly that, deprived of their normal use, they might even through their very uselessness become long enough to put this charming rodent of the trees In danger of starvation. Hickory, pecan nnd hazel nuts are tho proper food to throw to tho squirrels.?Brooklyn Life. Wlipre Win the JokeT Mabel?Such a Joke with Mr. Gayboy. We were out on the balcony be WuAtt 41?A ? -?
