The time to take care of health is before it is utterly and irretrievably gone.

Such a man dies by little degrees. I'irst a little indigestion and a little neglect. Then loss of appetite. The bowels get clogged and the blood receives poisons instead of healthy nutriment. Old, inert tissues in flesh, muscle, nerve and brain are not re placed by new. The whole' body gets stale.

HARD WORK AND SMALL REWARDS Tho Mnrltut Ovcrsialkcd nnd New York Alone Turning Out n Thou sand Pupils a Vcur--Honsu. Servants Better Oll'us n ltuiu Than the Ma jority of Aclrcssus. New York Letter In Globe-Democrat. It Is only of comparatively recent years that the theatrical profession has been considered one of the principal callings supposed to be open to women generally, both ns n practical means Of nn Independent livelihood and us af fording a fair road to fiiine nnd fortune. In the old stock company days It was rather a trade, and for tho most part confined to those born of stage parents and those growing up In the Immediate environment of the theater. The allure ments of the footlights were hedged In by tho limitations of local demands, few theatres, slavish work, low pay and slow advancement, and the social femi nine doubt of respectability. AVIth tho advent of the combination system came revolution, not alone In the extraordinary Increase In the num ber of thentres everywhere and the cor responding multiplication of theatrical companies, but In the attitude of the public Itself toward the theatrical call ing. The demands of the stage for tal ent were at once greater than the sup ply, and salaries went up with, rapidly growing profits, until hundreds of per sons with llttlo or no talent were get ting more money than could be earned by accomplished men and women In other walks of life. At the same time growing familiarity with the stage and Its people through out the country worked the most extra ordinary change of social sentiment witnessed during the century. Actors have become tho companions of states men and bosom friends of Presidents, while tho women who formerly ranked so low are sometimes welcomed In the best society. These causes have brought about an annual delUEe of women as candidates for public favor and aspirants to his trionic fame. The market Is overstocked with men and women who have been actors and actresses, aro now such or want to bo. Tho rush of the raw ma terial has forced competent people of both sexes into the background and has degraded salaries until the best must strive continually to be able to make enough during the season to keep them from want dtuiiiff the summer months of Inactivity. Any New York manager will tell you that there arc from ten to twenty appli cations for every part to be given out. The bottom Is rapidly falling out of all salaries except those at the top, and even top salaries aro feeling the squeeze. SMALL PAY. The majority of loading people in road companies get but $50 a week or less. Three-llfths of the profession as a whole, Including chorus, ballet and supernumeraries, average but about $15 a week for the season, which means an average of less than $9 a week spread over the twelve calendar months. Tlw other two-fifths do not average more than $33 a week, including stars, talc ing it for tho year. This covers only the part of the profession employed, not the 2000 or 3000 now annually out of en gagements. The estimates are from the books of reputable managers. Now, considering' tho theatrical pro fession as a calling, as wo deem law or medicine, or teaching, or book-keeping, or stenography, or anything else by which men and women make a living and a name, what is the cost'.' How much money And time and labor does it require to earn these rewards? Is It a good investment, or might it be better expended in paving the way to other channels of life? Does tho end justify either the expectation or the expense? The dramatic schools of this city and other places are now turning out near ly 1000 pupils each year. This Includes all pupils being fitted for the stage. Those who go directly to the boards without registry will swell the annual applicants to a full 1000 new people. The estimate is made upon close calculation with Mr. Franklin H. Sargent, presi dent of tho American Academy of Dra matic Arts, and upon his authority. That institution, through its regular course nnd by private instructions, sends out about 100 a year. There are other similar schools here and at least one such school In every large city of the United States. In ad dition, the special schools for dancing and music and other stage preparation are Innumerable. The cost of the aver age course of regular Instruction for two terms thought necessary to aftord the groundwork of dramatic effort Is $500. The cost of living during that pe riod In big cities and away from home Is put up Mr. Sargent at about the same llgure. Private Instruction comes at from $5 to $15 a lesson, depending on the number nnd duration of the lessons given and the teacher. In special private Instructions of stars it runs all tho way from $3 to $20 an hour, for It must not be supposed that, because men and women are creating a stir In the dramatic and musical world and are dravvlng large salaries, they have ceased to study and pay for being conehed, They are not Infrequently tho hardest students and the most liberal pupils. Taking tho flguios of the academy and Its counterpart in Chicago and other cities as financial premises, we must ar rive nt the conclusion that not less than $1,000,000 is being siient In hard cash every year for stage preparation. As this estimate Includes all sorts of spec ial work, from that put upon a star like Mrs. Leslie Carter down to a skirt dancer, the figures will probably run below, rather than above tho actual ex penditures. According to Mr. Sargent, the average cost of preparation for tho stage is $1000. Therefore, as 1000 people are turned out annually, tho total for annual instruction must be a round $1,000,000. MOTHS ABOUND. It is a curious fact that in this great est year of theatrical depression the rush for the stage on tho part of wo mankind Is greater than over It was be fore. Every New York manager will testify to this. Inquiries come In to Mr. Sargent at tho rate better class of women are seeking the stnras a means of livelihood. It If not Infrequently that a woman In middle life applies simply to bo coached for a star part, with the Idea that onco on tho stage her talent would tic so obvious that managers would clamor for her. For this she Is willing to put up money money that to take under the circumstance would be steal ing. The example of Mary Anderson, as it is known to most peonle, has done more to spoil the feminine Judgment than almost anything else that could bo named. Tho popular Impression Is that "our Mary" came out of society one day and succeeded as "Juliet" the next night, to go from year to year to the Tho fact Is, Mary Anderson was not even saved from tho harshest criticism by her Ineffable beauty during those first years when she was a consplcltotts crudity. And another fact Is that she was constantly tralne,d and coached by expert teachers, even lu the very height of her histrionic fnmo, And still another fact Is that no woman on the Ameri can stngo over worked harder and more unceasingly from start to finish than did she. It Is true, she doesn't like to talk about this now, but she was not nsham ed of It then. She came to Now York a poor girl, attended by her stepfather, Mr. nrillln, and sousht the assistance of Vnnderlioff, an export. Her claim lay largely In her beauty, already ap parent, and It went n great way In those days, Still, ho didn't wnut to touch "her, nnd to net rid of her said he'd charge her $100. She was stiff nnd awkward, and he didn't think her worth while. But they went away, and Giilfin came back with the money. Then Vander hol'f went to vvoric on her with ten les sons, In which time he began to have a more favorable impression. From the time she went on she courted the friendly advice of critics and silenced them by trying to profit by It. Eight years later she saw Georgia Cayvan, and pay In her one of the best classic actresses. She ascertained that Sargent had handled Cayvan, and Mary sent for Sargent. At her request he saw her In Pygmalion nnd Galatea, and criticised her privately. She was offended, be cause she was the pet of tho public. But she was a woman of Judgment and determination, and never ullowed any thing to stand between her nnd the per fection of heart. She retained Sargent and rccieved dally lessons of half a doz en a day the year round. He afterward, duiinn the off season, woiked with her some three months nt Long Branch. He went over every piece In her repertoire, and put her through every character In which she appeared. When the seuson opened he went on the road with her, working every day. He even went over her costumes to correct solecisms of dress here and there. For such work as was on his own account she paid him from $10 to $15 per hour, though for a greater part of the service she paid the Madison Square Theater, he being In Its employ. This was In the supposed height of her fame in 1SS3. It was this sort ot genius that made Mary Anderson a great actress, the genius of hard work. MRS. POTTER. Mrs. Potter was as conslpcuous an In stance of financial actress making as Is Mrs. Carter, though no legal scandal grew out of It. She was refused by Sar gent ns was Mrs. Carter and turned over to Belnsco, who had for six years been a noted teacher In the Academy of Dramatic Art. Belasco put In $3000 or $G,000 worth of time on her. And, ac cording to her friends, the time and money was well spent. There Is not a single actress or actor of nolo but has spent thousands upon dramatic education, either In money di rect or In weeks and months and years of persistent and Intelligent labor. It Is a grievous mistake to suppose that all this money and even all of this hard work will make either an actor or an actress. All the coaching nnd all the work that might be squeezed Into a hundred years will not put an atom of brains into any head that did not have them In the beginning. It can only Im prove and develop the stock on hand. So far as filling some subordinate niche In a play Is concerned, almost anybody not a downright Idiot may be made competent, but as for becoming a real actor or actress, there must be both bruins and a special aptitude at bottom, This Is the most difficult matter to Impress upon aspirants for the stage. They are so saturated with the con viction of their own capabilities that no amount of advice or counsel from the expert will serve to turn them aside from their ambition. Most of them ex pect to become stars at once. With purblind and dogged stupidity they In sist on going through the preliminary stopsas If acqulrlngthe last touch which Is to make them great. Of course, both time and money are wasted. The methods' of Belasco set the lay man world laughing. But they have been the methods, in a way, of the ex pert and the non-expert stage manager for years. It Is both tho theory and the practice that women should be trained like animals of the fourfooted variety, with a whip. There are exceptions In this of women of rare Intellectual at tainments and acute sensibilities, but the rule Is, metaphorically, to reduce them with a club. It Is the only way of getting them out of their self conscious ness, of subduing their pigheaded self esteem, of subordinating Insufferable vanity to a smoothly working Intellec tual and physical machine. Every ex pert stage director applies this theory, and the best have practiced It success fully in beating the crude material Into dramatic shape. When Balesco was a dramatic teach er in the academy he followed the same methods observed while training Mrs. Carter methods of the whip and club and nlternate praise and comfort Just as the sportsman trains a setter dog; as the showman trains a trick mule, a per forming horse, or elephant. Max Free man, Ben Teal, and all the rest follow the same method, substantially, though their labor Is mostly of the mouth. This is especially the ease In the training of women for the stage, the latter being more susceptible to fear, and proving more tractable under the lash. ONE ON BELASCO. They tell a good many amusing stor ies about the Belasco days at the acad emy. One afternoon a young woman came lu to see Mr. Sargent to get ex cused from an evening rehearsal. She had a bandage on her wrist, her face was nbnormnlly red on one side, as If It had been recently slapped, and her dress wus soiled by frequent contact with the lloor. "Oh, nothlnsr serious Is tho matter," she said, "only I don't feel equal to rehearsal this evening." "What's the matter with your wrist?" asked Mr. Sargent. "N-nothlng particular you know this was my afternoon with Belasco." But she braced up later, and turned out for rehearsal In line f el Hi lt has often been alluded to as a sing ular fact that the dramatic art Is the only one popularly supposed to bo wide open to any woman who may take the fancy to go on tho stage without ref erence to aptitude, education, training or experience. As inordinate vanity leads more women stageward than the Idea of choosing It ns a career for a liv ing, tho simplest nnd most convincing logic would be lost upon them. Yet it can easily be demonstrated that after the money and time has been ex pended and the woman has entered upon her career she Is with rare ex ception worse off than the woman who Is a common house servant, or one who Is u saleswoman or cashier, or one'who Is a typewriter or stenographer, or a bookkeeper, or almost any woman lu almost niir other line of woman em ployment, Tho thousand dollars and work spent In order to get precarious employment nt an average of $9 a week would lit a woman for almost anything more useful to her. Not less than 2000 men and women of this profession are today living In this city on ehnrlty. They haven't a cent nnd have no engagements for the coming season. Many of them nre competent people, of long experience, and have commanded good salaries. Some of them have labored hard nnd conscientiously and deserve better of fortune. But their lives have been practlcnlly wasted lives. They have sacrificed homes, family ties, love, children, do mestic happiness, everything worth liv ing for on this earth, on the altar of an Intangible and Iridescent dream to go down to old age and the grave alone, their greatest triumphs long since for gotton. - STANTOX NOT A KICK .MAN, When lie l,olt the War Ullicu He Had to ltorrow Dlouey. A correspondent writes to the Sun: Ymt are mistaken In saying that Stan ton did not have to borrow money to re-cstnbllsh his law p ractlce. Mr. Stan ton, soon after he left Johnson's cabi net, wrote somewhat In these terms to the Hon. .1. K. Mulrhend, who was for many years member of congress from the Pittsburg, Pa district: "Dear Gen eral: I am lu need of money, even for marketing. I could get all I want, If 1 would let my poverty be known, by a public subscription; but you know I would not think of permitting such a thing. I want to borrow $3,000. My security, you know, Is sulllcient In the coal lands we own together." General Mulrhend told me this soon after receiving Stanton's letter. Ho was my kinsman and most Intimate friend, and he was aware of my friendship for many years for Mr. Stanton. I know he vvas In great poverty when ho censed to be secretary of war, and that he bor rowed this money and It was paid back afterward. James L. Claghorn and the Union league of Philadelphia, soon after Mr. Stanton's death, raised a fund of $100,000 for his family. I was a sub sviiber to the fund, At that time 1 lived in AVilllamsport, Pa. Henry Dundns, when secretary of war under William Pitt, and while England vvas putting forth every man and dollar to break the power of Napoleon Bona parte, took a bribe of 100,000. Our great secretary, If ho had desired, had the opportunity to acquire wealth be yond the greed of avarice. But he died in absolute poverty. We should all be proud of his m em or:r.
