A PEERLESS SINGER.

1ILUAN RUSSEL^ GIVES HER VIEWS OF MATRIMONY. ........

The Popular Prima Donna Write# Upon a Subject With Which She Is Quite Familiar— When to Marry and Whom.

Cases of Incompatibility.

[Special Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, March 1.—It is not every man or woman who knows when and •whom to marry. Theatrical people, for instance, should not wed outside of their profession unless they intend to leave the stage. Even those in the profession should be careful whom they choose for a mate. If a woman who is a stellar performer, for example, selects a man of inferior ability for a life partner, it is pretty sure to bring bickerings and heartburnings all around. The man, if he loves his wife, is generally susceptible of jealousy of a twrtfold nature. First, it galls him that his helpmeet is a "bigger card" with the public and the management than himself (for a]l men are more or less vain) second, any little token of appreciation which she may receive from friends or manager, either floral or verbal, for successful effort is apt to arouse a feeling of disquietude in his bosom. This may not do any particular harm at first, but frequent repetition of meritorious recognition, like the dripping of water on the rock, eats into the vitals and causes unjustifiable and unnecessary heart suffering.

Then, again, the masculine members of the company have their little jealousies. If the star be a good woman and loving, faithful wife, she naturally aids her husband in his aspirations, and if she bo anything of a teacher can improve him greatly. She may even use her influence with the manager, if she is in that gentlemun's employ, to advance her helpmeet to abetter part than the one he is playing in. If tho man-

ager is in her employ, she promotes her husband without asking the consent of that captious magnate. Then there is a howl both from the men in the company and their wives, if thoy are married They have all the talent and the star' husband none. It's outrageous, unbear able. It could never have occurred in Booth's time or Forrest's day and what not. The husband may bo a budding genius, but they will never concede it They simply continue to howl and make everybody miserable.

The husMud, however, who makes life a desert waste is the gentleman who is unconnected with the profession and whose wife is a pretty actress, star or otherwise. Usually he is poor in spirit ns well lis in purse, for wero he rich in either he would not permit his wifo to remain in tho glare of the footlights. This man stands sentinel at the stage door, haunts the wings if ho has influence enough to get there, gets in the way of the stage manager and the company generally, and is, to sum up in a word, a bOro. Every member of the company thoroughly detests him but his poor little wife, and for her sake thoy refrain from telling him so. He is always afraid .that some fine looking actor or gidely tlmppie is trying to win his wife from him.

Even when most things are equal— talent, industry and ambition—profes sional as well as other people should study each other before they wed. Affinity, of course, they should have. That goes without saying. There should also be compatibility of temperament, and above all absolute confidence. A man and his wife, for instance, are frequently by force of circumstances compelled to enter separate companies. They tour the country. Neither sees the other for several weeks or perhaps months. The strain of separation is bad enough, but if both have not the qualities of which I speak, if either eme or the other

k*

tal­

ented and fair to look upon, is praised by the press or public, and the slightest misgivings aroused in the breast of either, life then loses its charm. There is not the same serene happiness in the heart of either as before. The arrow of jealousy always leaves a poignant sting.

If a woman marries a man unconnected with the dramatic profession in any way, she should leave the stage immediately. The same rule will apply to a man in the profession, especially if he be handsome or magnetic, who weds a woman outside of it They should give their talents and every .ndearing quality they possess to home and helpmeet and not to the public. This rule I apply, as the lawyers say, as a general proposition. I know that there are times when it cannot be enforced. Circumstances sometimes get the better of all of us. Rent, fuel and food are at times considerations which require immediate treatment and prevent for the time being the fulfillment of the proposition I advanced.

To prove it# general efficacy, however, I will, as that dear little mite of a counselor Abe Hummel would say, cite a point or two. There is a dear, sweet little soul on the stage today, one of the tnoct popular in the profession, who married some years ago one of the brainiest and most influential senators of the ttate of New York. He was fairly rich then and handsome. He was proud, too,

OLGA

Olga Nethersole is beyond question the greatest English speaking, emotional actress of the present day. Everyone who witnesses tho tremendous expenditure of nervous energy incident to her wonderful performances, realizes the excessive nervous strain and tension Incurred and tho consequent loss of nerve forcoand physical, strength. No one, therefore, is more capame of knowing what most qnickly restores and recuperates Toss of nervous energy and power than she, and no one is more competent to advise those whose nerves are weak, who are ill, out of order or run down in nerve or physical strength, just how to be restored to health and vigor. She tells everybody to use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, for she knows that this grand medicine is the best thing in the world to make people well and strong.

Miss Nethersole says:—"I have used Dr.

and did not consider himself rich enough to have his marriage to his loved one publicly announced until he could buy a mansion iu which to install his idol. Then came a turn in his affairs. He lost everything in speculation, and he was compelled to devote all his energies to politics to recover his lost fortune. He went back to Albany and is a senator now. His wife went back^to the stage. Then they drifted apart. The wife read at first with pride, but afterward with suspicion, of her handsome husband's successes on the field of debate and in society. Then the iron of jealousy entered her soul, and the divorce court was applied to for relief. Abandonment was the claim the wife put in, and she obtained her decree. Neither is happy now. Neither has remarried.

Now for the reverse side of the medal. Every one remembers how when Multimillionaire Qeorpo J. Gould married beautiful Edith Kingdou peoplo said she was the luckiest girl alive. She is, not because she wedded a millionaire, for she was good enough and lovely enough for any man living, but because she chose a fine, manly young fellow with a big heart as well as a big brain, and at his request left the stage and settled down to home life. She has five pretty children now and is the happiest woman in the metropolis, with a loyal, loving husband whom she dotes on and the cheeriest of homes both in New York and Lakewood, N. J.

This rule of matrimony which I have suggested will also, I think, apply to statesmen, politicians and public men generally as well as to the ri-:vmntic profession. They are on the rtage of public life, much away from hero and much accustomed to study the own interests and ambitions. Ther rhould have for helpmeets women who rsn aid them in their chosen paths. A cold, proud or beautiful woman—a society beauty, I mean—is not very apt to be a success in this line. She is rather wont to exact attention than bestow it Neglect—and most of rising statesmen are notoriously neglectful in a social way— is something she would not brook. Such woman would never be happy nor make her husband happy. The hearth in such a home never burns cheerily. Such a case I have in mind. A great, handsome, almost godlike senator from New York aad his cold, lovely wife are the principal actors. The public prints said a beautiful woman came in between them early in life, and the home was made desolate. Friends blamed both, though neither spoke a word. He was imperious, loved to wander from his fireside. She was lovely, but freezing, and home had no enjoyment for him. Both are now dead.

In Maine was the home of another great man. That was the home of homes. Husband and wife had overpowering love for and confidence in each other. They were compatible in every way, and that home was a heaven.

It should be thus in every walk of life. Then* should be mutual, absolute trust as well as affinity between man and wife. woman should many a

They Wallowed.

"A Boston man and myself," says a Chicago newspaper man,"wereonce the guests of a Kentucky family. The staple articles of diet there are corn dodgers, baked in the ashes of the open fireplace, and bacon. Butter is practically unknown. It is not a grazing section. Our hostess, with evident pride, brought out for our delectation on the oocasion referred to a small piece of butter. It had been bought months before in a faraway city and was quite superannuated and very self assertive. Both of u£ shied. The Boston man, forgetting the fr.te of Ananias, said he 'never used butter,' and I echoed his statement The good woman evidently was disappointed. Pointing to a platter of bacon swimming iu grease, she said, 'I allow you 'uns will oblige me, then, by wallerln yer dodgers in the dope.' We immediately'wallowed.'

The L-nfortnnate Moses.

A correspondent of the San Francisco Examiuor relates this incident of a dinner in Philadelphia at which Archbishop Kyan (Roman Catholic) and Dr. Watson were present: "It would be a great mistake to suppose that the archbishop dwells in an atmosphere of ghosts or is saturated with gloom. It was quite delightful to see him and Dr. Watson fraternize np*'exchange felicities. The archbishop kud the inquiry had been made why all the nine muses are represented as unmarried. It was suggested in reply that it was thought more in accordance with ddicacy and sentiment that they should be pure, unmarried virgins. But the archbishop's response was: 'No, that is not the reason. It is because all those who woo the muses are so poor that they are never able to propose marriage to them.'

He Had His Bemgt.

"When a young and callow freshman, I used to try all kinds of fool experiments," laughed the usually staid professor. "The inspiration to these outbreaks of lunacy was in the surround ings. I would fall in a fit just to see some of the old people scamper about and look frightened. Amrmg strangers I would sometimes pretend to be dumb, sometimes deaf and on oooasians assume both of these difficult roles. Torn Hilter always used to help me when he was available. "One day when we were on oar way to college, a bevy of pretty, laughing girls took the train at a village station and fluttered into our car. I winked at Tom, and the faroe began.

'I came mighty near having a nature1 fit, for I was a fairly good looking boy and proud of it Some of the other young ladier undertook my defense, but my defamer rode rough shod over them all. I was sallow, shallow, narrow and criminally disposed. If my picture did not some time adorn rogues' gallery, justice would be cheated. And that young fellow who had gone out was no better.

Unahaved Too.

The folloving circumstance happened in one of the towns of Ireland. A man had been drinking until a later hour at night before he started for home. Honest folk had been long in bed, and the houses were all shut and dark. Tho liquor he had taken was too much for him. He did not know where to go.

He at last staggered into an empty wagon shed and fell upon the ground. For along time he lay in the unconsciousness of a drunken sleep and would have undoubtedly been frozen to dea^'t (for the snow on the ground showed the night to be very cold) had not others less insensit^e been near him.

This shed was a favorite rendezvous for the pigs, which rushed out when the newcomer arrived, but soon returned to their bed. In the utmost kindness and truest hospitality, they gave their biped companion the middle of the bed.

Toward morning he awoke, and, finding himself comfortable and in blissful ignorance of his whereabouts, he supposed himseif enjoying the accommodation of a tavorn, in oompany with otb gentlemen. He reached out his han and, catching hold of the stiff bristle^ of a hog, exclaimed: "Why, mi iter I When did you shave yourself last?"—Pearson's Weekly.

New York Fire Horses.

The horses bought for the fire department in this city are numbered consecutively. When a horse dies or is sold out of the department, its number is dropped. There are about 440 horses in use in the department. About 00 horses are bought annually to supply new apparatus or to 'ake the places of horses I worn out or disabled. Fire department horses that are no longer fit for service are sold by auction. They may still be I of use for some other work. The money received frctn such sales goes to the pension fune of the department—New York Sun.

A BIRD THAT WORKS.

A Mexican Siskin That Has to Earn Each ''ry Meal Before He Gets It.

tn the bird store at 240 Sixth avenue, New York, there is a tiny bird, a Mexi-

can siskin, that has to work for its living. It is a very intelligent bird, and it seems to be fond of hard labor.

One thing is very pleasant about the work the bird does, and that is that it can never get hungry while performing It The work, indeed, consists of eating and drinking.

When the siskin wants to drink, he oannot reach tho -water holder like any other caged bird. He has to draw water from a well by means of a tiny oaken bucket, and then, planting his feet upon the slack of the bucket cord, he holds the bucket in place so that he can drink.

And when he wants to get at the seeds which are housed temptingly in a little wagon outside of his cage, the siskin has

learned to pull the wagon up an inolined plane to the bars of his cage. He keeps his feet on the cord until he has had his fill, and then he allows the wagon to roll back to its plaoe out of his reach.— New York World.

Bubble Football,

Some of you who are expert bubble I blowers will find much fun in bubble football. Sounds queer, doesn't it? Of oourse yon don't kick the babbles, but you blow them about just as the rush line of a football team forces the ball down the field.

Oover a table with an old shawl or I other woolen oloth, and at one end set up two sticks about a foot apart with flags on top of each. At the other end I of the table your bubble blowing opera-• tions are to be conducted. Of course you have put a little glycerin in the sods to make the bubbles tough, and now each of the players has a pipe ready. Bubbles I are blown and allowed to float down and light on the shawl. Then eaohi player begins to blow his bubble gently toward the other end of the table and between Jhe tyro goal sticks. It. is very exoiting fun. If two or more bubbles oome into collision, up they go, and the players who are blowing them must withdraw from the game. The boy or girl who is lucky enough to blow a bubble between the two goal sticks wins the game. Four or five play the game best, but even if there are only two they I will find it lots of fun. The footballs, of course, are very delicate, and they must be blown about very gently.—Chicago Record.

A Brave Little Girl.

Just one more kiss for good night, mamma Just one more kiss for good night, And then you may go to my dear papa,

And—-yes—you mny put out tho light, For I'll promise you truly I won't be afraid, AH

I was lost night. You'll see, 'Cause I'm going to be papa's brave little maid, As he told me I ought to be.

But the shadows won't seem so dark, mamma If you'll kiss mo a little bit more, And you know I can listen and hear where you are

If you only won't—shut the door. For if I can hear you talking, I think It will make me so sleepy, maybe, That I'll go to sleep just as quick as a wink

And forget—to cry like a baby.

You needn't be laughing, my mamma dear, While you're hugging me up so tight. You think I am trying to keep you here.

You and—I guess—tho ll :ht. Please kiss me goodnight ence more, mamma, I could surely my prwaire keep If you'd only stay with vw

ju«t as you are,

And kiss me till—1 »le«p. —Sail Francisco Examiner.

His Vera ion.

One evening the boys' cooking class I at an industrial school had a lesson on eggs, including an omelet John McK. was particularly interested, as he had a I few hens in the yard at the back of his miserable home in a tenement house. He asked many questions and carefully I wrote out the recipes. The next time he came in he swelled with importance and announced that he had made 'one of them egg ornaments at home, and it was first rate too."—American Kitchen Magazine.
