"Personality" on th» 8tags.
[ la bis book "The Truth About the
' Stage" the author, who bides his Iden
tity under the term "one of Broad
way's best known theatrical mana
gers," writing of "personality" in the
actor or actress, says:
"I don't believe It has. ever been ade
quately deflnedj—probaJ»ly It never will
be. But Its Importance can scarcely
be 'overestimated. It Is, a kind of In
tangible, elusive radium emanation
that defies analysis, but It can do more
to convert a sow's ear Into a silk purse
than anything else In the world. Under
Its magic spell downright uglliiess may
seem to be beauty and stupidity may
easily enough be mistaken for bril
liancy. It fa the quality that every
successful actoj; and actress possesses
and without which no actor and no
actress rises to any appreciable height
in the profession It flashes, across
the footlights more effectively than
beauty, ability and experience com
bined, and, while the spectator himself,
perhaps, is not aware of the fact, he
applauds it more than ho applauds any
thing else."'
Apoplexy Days.
It Is the lethargic, full blooded, thick
and short necked subject who eats
and drinks more, than is good for him
and who does not take sufficient exer
cise who moat frequently falls a vic
tim to apoplectic seizures, according
to the New York Medical Journal.
Quoting Dr. F. Barlow, it says, "The
majority of seizures occur on Sunday
or Monday, owing probably to the
greater Indulgence In the Joys of the
table on the day of rest and the slight
Increase in excitement consequent on
the returrrto business."
Big eaters and cocoa drinkers are
Just as liable to it as heavy drinkers.
"Alcohol Is frequently made the scape
goat for an attack of this character,
when really excessive eating is to
blame."
It Is easier to prevent than to cure
apoplexy. Moderation in eating and
drinking and regular action of the
bowels are the very best preventives.
Quick Return.
It was a bard worked staff that
served under General Kitchener In In
dia, and It wasn't often that Its mem
bers had time for a good, hearty
chuckle. But once In a long time the
war ofllce slipped one over on the chief
by sending the son of- an earl or a duke
or some other high personage to serve
as an addition to his staff. Such men,
unless they had proved themselves
first, never got there if Kitchener
heard anything about it beforehand.
One young officer arrived and reported.
Kitchener looked him over and asked
coldly, "Do you know when the nest
Bteamer sails for England?"
"I haven't looked U up. sir," was the
answer.
"You look it up—you sal! on that
steamer," said Kitchener in a dry
voice. "Good day. sir."
"But I"—
"I said good day, sir."
Banking Lesson For Women.
A certified check ie your own check,
across the face of which the bank has
stamped the word "Certified," meaning
that it guarantees payment When a
check is certified it i» at that time
charged up to your account and the
money held out by the bank to pay the
check when it is presented. A certified
check Is required where valuables or
papers are delivered In exchange for a
check. Also they are often held to
make good certain transactions. A cer
tified check is accepted the same as
money and Is much safer to carry, as
It is no good until indorsed, if you
should have a certified check and later
decide not to use it do not destroy the
check, but take It to your bank and de
posit It to your own credit This Is
very important.—May Selley In South
ern Woman's Magazine.

Proposing With a Splaoh.
One of the strangest courtship, cus
toms In the world Is related of the
Tarascan Indians of Mexico In the Na
tional Geographic Magazine.
The land of the Tarascans lies dne
west of the Clly of Mexico, and hero
the nutives retain many of their prac
tices which were well established
when the Spaniards first landed at
Vera Cruz. Here Is the accepted
method of courtship, for example:
The lover goes to the spring where
the object of his affections Is accus
tomed to fill her water Jar. He holds
her shawl until she accepts him, and
then with a stick he breaks the jar
which she holds on her bead and
gives her a betrothal baptism of water.
According to Prescott, the Tarascans
bad a Noab, called Trezpl, who es
caped from a great ilood In a boat
laden with animals. Instead of a dove
Trezpl sent out a vulture first and
then a humming bird, according to the
legend.
The Tarascans once possessed the se
cret of tempering copper, an art now
lost to the world.
Killed by a Shout.
A joyful shout, thoughtlessly given
by an Italian smuggler on having
eluded the customs guards on the
Swiss frontier was the cause of his
six companions being killed by an ava
lanche. The party, coming from the
Grisons, had, with a thousand precau.
tions, successfully negotiated the For
cola pass, on the Swiss-Italian border.
Five of the men were loaded with val
uable contraband goods, and two acted
as guides and scouts. When they were
. all safely on Italian soil one of tlia
| guides named Maretoll gave vent to a
joyful yodel. In the still air the least
sound causes a vibration which may
set enormous masses of snow moving.
This Is what occurred here. A quarter
of a million tons of snow detached
Itself from the mountain sideandcame
thundering down upon the party, who
were swept in un instant Into an
abyss. Maretoli alone was able to ex
tricate himself.
maiay reari uivors.
The Malay pearl divers are perhaps
tlie finest in the world. When he la
going to dive the Malay slowly lowers
himself down from the side of the
boat to the water and takes several
breaths, each breath getting deeper
and deeper. Finally he takes a tre
mendously long breath, turns head
downward and plunges into tlie ocean
depths. In two, three, or perhapB, If
he is a very expert diver, in four min
utes, his form is seen in the water com
ing up. Ilis face is turned upward.
Uis strong hands beat the water away
from under him iu vigorous downward
sweeps. His face looks terribly
strained. At last, breathless, exhaust
ed, be reaches the surface and Is hauled
into the boat, where he lies qnlte still
for a few moments, apparently ex
hausted. But in comparatively a few
miuutes he is ready to plunge again.
Making Ready.
A Yorkshire collier repeatedly urged
his delicate wife to engage some one
to do the rough housework for her and
at last wrung from her a promise to do
so. On returning from the pit one aft
ernoon he found her scrubbing and
polishing the kitchen floor with all the
energy she could command.
"Hello, owd wwoman. what's this
mean?" he questioned her. "Ahthowt
tha said tha would call in somebody to
do t' hard work for thee?"
"Ah, lad, an' so Ah mean to," an
swered his conscientious wife, "but Ah

couldn't be goin' away an' tellln f

Late Breakfast.
"I guess," the farmer said to his new
