Hauk could not, or would not, sing, and “Maritana” had to be substi- tutéd, with Fohstrom as prima donna, Some say that Mme. Hauk’s refusal to appear was due toa violent quarrel she has had with Ravelli. Col. Mapleson relieved” his overburdened breast thus toa reporter: “I do not know what is the matter with Mme. Hauk.

FACTS ABOUT THE PRESENT CONDITION AND THE HISTORY OF THIS MONUMENT OF EGY TIAN SCULPTURE, From the London Dally Telegraph. It will be good news for antiquairies to learn that at last an effort is being made to disinter the Sphinx. For ages visitors to Egypt have been amazed at this stupendous effort of the sculptors who flourished before the gnomon of Cheops was built, Yet while city after city has been disinterred almost within sight of the monument to the Kingly Horus, this magnif- | cent memorial of a vanished race has been per- mitted to get heaped deeper and deeper with the desert sand, in spiteof the prayer inseribed on the slab of Thothimes, which begs the peoples, that are to come to keep the statue clear of the drift, which even then was threatening to over- whelin it. Some 40 feet of the figure are still above the surface; but all save the head and neck are covered, and we only know what Hes | beneath from the description of travelers like | Salt and Cavigtia, who examined it betore the | sands had submerged the body of the figure. Even then, nearly 70 years ago, it was only by | great labor that the excavators could manage | to make out the details they have supplied, and, | in spite of their efforts, the desert drift was cor stantly encroaching on the cleared space. Since that date nothing has been done. Every year has added to the accumulations, and so steadily has the work of interment been’ going on that | ¥isitors after an absence of 20 or 30 years notice a sensible change in the amount of debris piled up around the Sphinx. Indeed, if something is not done the | chances are that before long the monument which divides with the Pyramids themselves the interest of every intellizent traveter wil] be entirely swallowed up. This bas been the fate of many similar architectural remains in its close proximity. About twenty years ago Mari- 'y discovered a very ancient temple just ‘ond it, which, although lying wholly below surface of the desert, h been Kept Ibis been of great antiquity. built mainiy of rose-colored granite; the pillars being simply square monoliths, with roots and | doorways of the same material, and no sign of | inscriptions or decorative Sculptures.

Every year thousands of light-headed tourists, thinking of anything except Oriental symbolism and the designs of | the Pharaohs of the fourth dynasty, drive out to see it.

THE ACTOR’s MAKE-UP. Seerets of the Room as Be- vealed by Jerry Taylor. ‘From the Philadelphia News, “See here! I have a letter from an amateur asking me togive him directions how tomake up for an old man, and I don’t know any better way than telling you everythiug about it, and letting you tell everybody.” Thus spoke Jerry Taylor, stage manager of the Walnut Street theater, to a News reporter yesterday afternoon. “When astar enters his dressing-room,” said Mr. Taylor, “he finds the contents of his dress- ing ease or make-up box spread out before him on @ table, in front of a glass that is bun; between two lights. He has ready to his han Sticks of grease paints of all colors, and cos- metles, penell brushes spirit gum for sticking on noses or whiskers, and a hare’s foot. Now, sup- he is going to make up for an old man, je takes @ stick of flesh-colored grease paint, warms it slightly and rubs it all over his face, just the same as a scene painter ‘sizes’ his canvas before painting the picture on it. ‘Then if (he Je going to make up for some historical character he has a picture of the original before him ana he must line his face according to it. Otherwise he goes to work and makes thetace he fancies, After the first coat of flesh- colored paint he covers his cheeks and lips with Vermillion, He next draws two short lines wide apart at the top and almost converging between the eyebrows, and a straight line be- tween them. "These lines are put on with Indian ink applied with a pencil brush, Crow's feet with three little lines at the outer corner of the eye gives them the old wrinkled expres- sion. Two parallel lines on each side of the face, one beginning near the inner corner of the eye and the other beginning at the base of the nose just at that wrinkle back of the nose, each about half an inch long, with an ordinary face aud slanting downward, give the length- ened expression to the face. "A line across the chin, blended downward at the ends, with the short stroke in the dimple, completes the lin- ing required with anordinary old man’s face. Different old man characters must, of course, be given different expressions about the mouth, aud these are made with lines to suit the ex: pression. To make himselt look as it he was a couple of weeks without a shave is the simplest thing imaginable. All he has to do is to burn & newspaper and rub the ashes where the bar- ber puts the lather and he will have a strong two weeks’ old black beard. He can tone that down by rubbing in ground cbalk. “To make the arms thin a line of brown or green grease paint run along the veins will make a fat round arm look like that of a shriv- led old woman. Kor » young man or a hero aracter the same ground work is laid on; ver- million or rouge is applied to the lips’ and cheeks with the hare’s foot, The eyebrows are blackened with India ink, and a thin line is drawn on the under eyelid, extending from the inner corner of the eye to’a litle beyond the outer corner and right under the hair line of the lash. In blackening the eyebrows the ladies frequently use the soot oi gas smoke, collected by holding a piece of glass over the burner. It is one of the best colors and the least harmful. ‘Fora snub nose a small line drawn over the nose and another drawn under the point of the same organ will give it a beautiful snub, but if he is the untortuuate possessor of @ natu: ral snub he can't take it off with all the lines he can draw. He has to build it out with putty ordough. An actor cannot enlarge his moutl nor diminish the size of his ears with paint. “To take off the grease paints cocoa butter is generally used. It is applied over the paints, and the whole mass rubbed off with a dry towel, after which the face is washed with water. False noses of paper are seldom worn any more. Dough, putty and cotion, shaped and made as the wearer Wills, Is the rule nowa- days, Hollowness of the face is made by rub- bing paper ashes on the cheeks, and the eyes are sunken by putting red paint on the upper eye-lids. “Burnt cork artists have the easiest make-up used on the stage. All they have to do is toget 4 tew corks, burn them completely, grind them fine to remove the gritand apply damp. They Palat thelr lips with rouge and they enlarge their mouths by rubbing off the cork about a halfineh ou each side. ‘They seldom moisten the cork with anything except water, as grease and things like that would make the cork sick into the skin. Grease paints and cork never hurt the skin if properly applied. eee What to Do When Dress Catches Fire. The following letter appears in a late number of the London Times: Sr: Will you grant me space to explain briefly what, I think, should be the first thing to be done by a girlor woman whose dress has caught fire, and similarly the first duty of any ‘one who goes to her rescue? Agirlor woman who meets with this acci- dent should immediately lie down on the floor, and, so. any one who goes to her assist ance should instantly, if she still be erect,make h 5 héedful, throw her ‘down into a horizontal position, dnd Keep her in it.

If'not, what must happen? The fire will mount; the flames (and it is these which do the injury) will envelop the body, inside and outside the clothes, and will reach the neck head, and then, indeed, they may be smother by a ‘coat or wrapper, or rug, while the victitn is frightfully disfigured or is doomed to perish, For many years I have urged these views while lecturing on injuries from burns, and ad an occasion to illustrate them prac- ally, though in a comparatively trivial luce nt. ‘Some dressings of a very inflammable ¢ er caught fire at the bedside of a patient in one of my surgical wards; they were prompt- ly seized bya student, who threw them Inte the middie of tne ward and endeavored to mp out the flaming material, But this con- taining paraffine and resin adhered to his boots, and his legs, as he danced about, were getting uncomfortably hot, To bis astonish- ment, and to the undoubted surprise of every one In sight, I caught him by the collar of his and tipped up his legs, Instantly the es becanie harmless, and were extin- guished by @ nurse throwing a Jug of Water on hem.
