Every Strip of Scenery Has to be United and Shifted Before New Settings Can be Placed Hands Work Like Firemen. tKrom 8atunlny'n 1'orlmpn a Hinall proportion of the lorsotiH who alt In the parquet at ho theatre , and who grow weary bo- Avoon the acts whMu the curtain is own and there Is nothing doing , re- ill/.o Just what IB going on behind ho scones and just why they are nailo to sit so long and tediously for ho ring1 of the boll. To watch thu show from the wings nit once Is enough to convince the iveragu Individual that there Is , af- .or all , a reason and a real ono for every mlnuto of tlmo that elapses be- weon the end of onu act and the be ginning of another. In fact , having pent an evening among the property milks and the rolls of special scen ery while the show was on , ono rather - or marvels that the second sitting Is hrown open so noon alter tho. close if the Initial ono. Tlio pooplcLon the stage of a play- louse tlio men who handle the vlngs and rolls and roles seldom see iVen a Iractloual part of the action of tluu piece. They are too busy. I'ho stage hands are busy every mliv ito while the curtain Is up getting oady to maku the shifts and niaimg- ng the special features that come in. And when the curtain rings down they are about the busiest set you over saw changing the prison cell nto a palace or converting an attic n to a swell parlor. The mlnuto the indlencc loses sight of the players the workmen got lively. With the speed of llromon In a tenement house .hey swing loose the ropes which tavo hold the walls together , slide ho Immense pieces oft the stagoaml nto a corner , sweep the doors , nail lown now carpets , bring In bar room equipment where upholstered sofas stood before , or cliango n mountain Hide Into rolling ocean. Getting the Wolves Ready. Every bit of scenery Is handled In narrow strips anil every strip has to 1)0 ) untied and put away before an other can take Its place. In such a spectacular production as "Queen ol the Highway , " which was put on in Norfolk Tuesday night , and which Is far too heavy for ono night stands anywhere , there are wolves to bo gotten ton ready for ono act and horses for another so that the animal men are on the go all the while. So much has to bo done , whose ef feet is not apparent to the people In the pit. For instance , In that show the wolves had to bo screenei off by means of a wire cage , which was unseen by the average pair o eyes In tlio audience. This cage hai to bo unrolled and fastened on al sides so that the animals might no .escape. Actors Dress Quickly. While all of this change In the scenery is being made , the actor foil are changing their costumes am they have to do a little more of the hurry up work themselves , than Is usual with the vain young womai dressing for a ball. However fas the scenes are shifted , the actors must bo ready for their entrance 01 " the dot. Sometimes during the progress o the piece , ( ho actors have spells o rest and then It is that they loa about and send out for llttlo lunches or , on some occasions , go themselves The methods employed to get var Ions effects are sometimes Interest ing. For instance in making the sound of liorsos galloping in the dls tance , the hollowed shells of cocoa nuts are pounded upon bricks , pro ducing a loud or soft nloso by varla tlons in the pressure. Two or three men make the racko of a howling mob by simply putting on the mob pedal to their voices am keeping It up. ' Don't Stay Together. While a company appears togotho every night as a family within thorn solves , they are truly a lot of Indl vldnals who do not oven stay at the same hotels. Each gets so much a week and railroad fare , and eacl chooses his own stopping place Some take the high class hotels am others are out for cheaper prlcei ones. On a "call hoard , " or bulloth board In the stairway that leads to the dressing room , a notice Is postei by the manager each night whicl tolls the company where the nex stand will ho , what tlmo the train leaves and when It arrlyestho name of the hotels and the prices of then all. The major portion of the compan ) seldom stop at the same hotel as th star and umnitaor , hecauso , perhaps of a llttlo human Jealousy. This Climate Is Good enough for anybody with weak lungs The patient need not travel. Ho ca : got well here with the help of A lun's Lung Balsam , taken frequently when coughing and shortness o breath after oxorclso servo nolle upon him that serious pulmonar trouble Is not far away. Allen' Lung Balsam Is free from any form of opium. If You Were Scared easily you might suppose that th aln In the lower part of your hack leant kidney trouble. But being a urnon of Ncnno you know It Is only nusciilar Htlffnoss , from cold , ami Imt. prompt treatment with Perry ) avlH * Paliklller will prevent It from ; rowlng Into lumbago.

THEY COME FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES TO SEE HER , Nothing so Wonderful in the f Days of Specialism. Dr. Caldwell. The success of Dr. Caldwell Is at tributed to her special study of spec ialism.

Her faculty for mastering : disease , her ability to diagnose , and her plan of treatment Is excelled by few other physicians. Dr. Caldwell , although a young woman In life , a plain woman , and one who Js used to the ups and downs In life , puts her self on a level with her patients and does not pretend to practice the old plan of fashion , which Is to look wise and say nothing. She knows disease , and the spot where located , and most of all she knows from experience , from what she has done In the past , she can certainly do for others In the future. It Is said by Dr. Csldwell's friends that she can diagnose a dis ease of any patient without asking them a single question , that being the case , she Is not likely to doctor them for a wrong ailment ; she will not take an Incurable case and lead the patient to believe that she can cure them when there Is really no hope for them. Her business Is large and she has plenty to do , even , at times , more than she can do , without taking Incurable diseases and deceiving her patients. Dr. Caldwell is a graduate from one of the best schools in Amer ica. She has practiced her profession In some of the principal hospitals of this country. Her specialty comprises that class of diseases which the or dinary home doctor falls to cure , such as female diseases , heart diseases , diseases of children and the many special Diseases of hidden nature. Her practice Is mostly among the plain , hard working people who are unable to como to her city office for treatment ; she Is reasonable In her charges and very lenient with those who are not able to pay. She Is char itable , and It Is said has never known to refuse to treat a patient who Is worthy and In need. A number of the Important cases that wo hereby take the liberty to publish , which might bo of Interest to some who wish to know more of Dr. Caldwell's great work Sophia Rran , Albion , Nob. , cured of a bad skin disease.
