Mr. Underbill comes well recommended and no doubt will delight all those who have the pleasure of hearing him. He brings to his task excellent abilities which show the result of refined training and liberal culture. Although not technically an actor, he possesses much of the power and spirit which belong essentially to the stage. In other words he manages to Identify himself with a character In such a way as to produce an illusion.

(From New York Journal.) It is a simple but sure method of developing the bust, arms, neck, hips and shoulders of women, who througrh some defect of nutrition and circulation are forever being: humiliated by their more fortunate sisters. First, it must be understood that the human skin Is an enormous gland, richly endowed with nerves, secretins:, and excreting organs, and a network of minute blood vessels which contain at one time over onethird of all the blood In the body that is, if nature is perfect. The relation of the skin to the vital organs throutrh the nervous system In controlling the blood supply is such as to put them as a team working together. Get separately two ounces glycerine, three ounces of rosewater, one ounce tincture cadomene compound (not cardamom) and five cents' worth of borax. Mix the glycerine with tincture cadomene, shake and let stand two hours; then add a teaspoonful of borax and the rosewater. Apply to the parts needing development morning and night, rubbing until thoroughly absorbed; then wash off with hot water and soap and dry. It is believed by expert dermatologists to he the most effective prescription ever conceived for the purpose.

IUISA TETRAZZINI. the most famous Italian coloratura soprano of the day, declares that she began to sing be fore she learned to talk. Her parents were not musical, but her elder sister, now the wife of the eminent conductor Cleofnnte CampaninI, wag a public singer of established reputation, and her success roused her young sister's ambition to become a great artist. Her parents were well to do, her father having a large army furnishing store in

Florence, and they did not encourage her in her determination to become a prima donna. One prima donna, said her father, was enough for any family, i Luisa did not agree with him. If one prima donna is good, she argued, why would not two be better? So she never desisted from ber Importunity until she was permitted to become a pupil ,

of Professor Coccherani, vocal Instructor at the Lycee. At this time she had committed to memory more than a dozen grand opera roles, and at the end of 6ix months the professor confessed that he could do nothing more for her voice; that she was ready for a career. She made her bow to the Florentine opera going public, one of the most critical in Italy, as Inez in Meyerbeer's "L'Africalne," and her success was so pronounced that she was engaged at a salary of $100 a month, a phenomenal beginning for a young singer. Queen Margberita was present on the occasion and complimented her highly and prophesied for her a great career. She asked the trembling debutante bow old she was, and in the embarrassment of

hands. Taunow peopTe wtri do anything in a wet week in London. "There were contracts from all over the continent and South America pending. There wtis much discussion naturally in regard to settlements and arrangements of one kind and another. "Suddenly, just like that" she makes a butterfly gesture "M. Hanimerstein came, and just like that" a duplicate gesture "I made up my mind that I would come here. If his offer to me had been seven days later I should not have signed, and if I had not I should undoubtedly never have come, for a contract that I might have signed to go elsewhere would probably bare been for a number of years." Voice experts confess that they are not able to solve the mystery of Mme. Tetrazzlnrs wonderful management of her breathing. "It Is perfectly natural," she says. "I breathe low down with the diaphragm, not, as some do, high up in the upper part of the chest. I always hold some breath in reserve for the crescendoes, employing only what is absolutely necessary, and I renew the breath wherever It Is easiest "In breathing I find, as In other matters pertaining to singing, that as one goes on and practices, no matter how long one may have been singing, there

are constantly new surprises awaiting one. You may have been accustomed for years to take a note In a certain way, and after a long while you discover that, while it is a very good way, there is a better."

Fame came speedily, but for a long time it was confined to Europe and Latin America. She sang seven seasous In St. Petersburg, three in Mexico, two in . Madrid, four In Buenos Aires and even on the Pacific coast of America before she appeared in New York. She had sung Lucia more than 200 times before her first appearance at Covent Garden, and the twenty curtain calls she received on that occasion came as the greatest surprise of ber career. She bad begun to believe that she could never be appreciated by English speaking audiences, and the ovation almost overcame ber. It was by the merest chance that, Mme.

Deeds, Not Words

Richmond People Have Absolute Proof of Deeds at Home. It's not words but deeds that prove true merit. The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills. For Richmond kidney sufferers. Have made their local reputation. Proof lies In the testimony of Richmond people who have been cured to

stay cured. Benjamin F. Lunsford. N. E- Cor. Twentieth & South B streets. Richmond. Ind., says: "The statement I gave for publication in 1906 endorsing Doan's Kidney Pills told of my experience with this remedy and at this time I am glad to confirm what I then said. I had been bothered by kiduey trouble off and on for at least fifteen years and whenever I caught cold my back became so lame and painful that I could hardly get around. At times the flow of the kidney secretions was profuse, then again scant and distressing. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G. Luken & Cos drug store, relieved these annoyances and once or twice since when I have taken

the remedy, it has promptly relieved me." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-MUburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other.

SEED OF THE VIOLET. The Flower Is Aggressive In 8plte off Its Boasted Modesty. The common wild violet affords one of the most remarkable illustrations of the care and apparent forethought of nature in preserving a species. As everybody knows, the violet grows in the shade, in pastures, woods and fields where the grass is abundant and long. It comes up early in tbe spring and flowers at a time when the grass is most abundant and succulent. Of course it is liable to be cut down by the scythe, but much more likely is it to be bitten off by grazing animals. The violets that come in the spring either do not seed at all or very sparingly, so that if the plant relied on its spring flowers for seed It would probably perish oft the earth in a very few years. But in the late fall the plant bears another crop of blossoms that are never seen save by tbe professional botanist. They are very small, utterly Insignificant in appearance, and grow either just at or below tbe surface of the ground. These are the flowers which produce the seeds for the next season. The flowers on long stems

blooming In spring are only for show; tbe hidden flowers are for use, and the number of seeds they bear may be

judged from the ease with which a wild violet bed spreads. When the seeds are ripe the pod ex

plodes, scattering them to a consider

able distance, often to ten or twelve feet from the parent plant, so that in

tpite of its boasted modesty the violet

cot only takes care of Itself, but becomes a troublesome aggressor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Odd Effect of One Cure Through the Subliminal Consciousness. A very well known oculist tells of one case where healing through the subliminal consciousness was really a source of embarrassment to the physician who was responsible for it. Sev

eral years ago when the eye specialist be knows about ears and throats, too

was studying in Vienna a young girl was brought to the hospital to be treat

ed for some nervous disorder. Hypnotism or suggestion, as one is asked to call It these days was used, and she

was brought under bis influence by

the ringing of a bell. .After a few

treatments she went to sleep, or Into tbe unconscious and receptive state, as soon as she heard tbe bell. She was

speedily cured and left the hospital. Next day she was brought unconscious.

loused and sent away. The day after

that she was brought in again. Indeed, for some time scarcely a day passed when she wasn't carried in limp and unconscious. She became a positive nuisance to the great neurologist that had hypnotized her, and he finally sent persons to watch her. It was found that on her way to work she passed a certain church and usually was at the door at tbe moment during the celebration of the mass when the bell rang. At its tinkle she calmly curled up and went to sleep. It was necessary to suggest to her the next time she was brought to the hospital that no bell In the world could have any effect on ber except the one rung in tbe hospital by the neurologist. After that she went about tbe city quite unaffected by the bells, and the neurologist drew a breath of relief. Washington Herald.
