Grand Music.

Remenyi was here last night and
brought his violin with him. That
he Ia master of that instrument Ia
hardly the word. He seems to be
welded to It, and In his hands It
seems . thing Of life indeed. he
charmed and thrilled his audience
last night, as he always does, render.
dering music which seemed almost OF
heaven. Remenyi seems to be able
to do anything and everything with
It, and the music which he gets out of
1t IL only equalled by the pranks
which he makes 1t play. He makes .
violin laugh and cry, and In bis
power over an audience he ID not
~equalled by any violinist. He moves
his hearers to laughter and to tears.
In fact, he is q wonder.
The other members OF the COM
pany we're very good and were duly
appreciated. Miss Warner has an
excellent soprano voice, and handles
1t we'll. Mr.. DeCelle, as tenor, and
Adolph Bauer, as pianist, also won
their share of plaudits, and earned

been whispered about that SEINE Of
the saloon men object so %strenuously
to the new license that they will not
take out any. OF course the license
Is only for beer, ale and wine,
the state law forbiddiug the
sale of whisky. It Is lntimsted that
some Of the saloons will outwardly, at

sell only whisky. Irqulry of some of
the authorities resulted yesterday In
THB BEE receiving the information
that the city authorities are preparing
for such an emergency, and thatishall
1t arise, they will commence sharply
prosecutions under the state law, and
that they are confident that those who

Hot Milk.

Everybody ought to know the valuable
properties of hot milk. A glass of milk taken
at a temperature as hot as can be swallowed
10 in the highest degree invigorating, and
will be more readily digested than anything
else which can be taken into the stomach.
The milk should not be scalded, but simply
heated as hot as can be taken. Persons suf-
fering with slow digestion will find this a
most valuable addition to the meal, since the
heat stimulates the secretion of gastric juice,
and thus the process of digestion is en-
couraged.
Persons who cannot take milk in any other
way can take it hot, and find great advantage
from its use. Hot milk is to be recommend
ed for persons who need their flesh. Hence
it is excellent for persons just recovering
from prolonged and wasting illness, and
for persons suffering from consumption or
any other malady accompanied by loss of
flesh
Hot milk should be taken with the meal,
not between meals, and should be taken with
some kind of solid food, as a water cracker
or 4 piece of we'll toasted bread. 1t should
be slipped slowly, SO as TO secure thorough
insalivatioD.
Persons who feel the need of some kind OF
food at night, will find a glass of hot milk
much superior to an ordinary lonch or sup.
per, and wholly satisfying.
Hot milk may be recommended az q sub.
stitute for tea and coffee to those who have
long used the beverage. We have usually
found that it was readily accepted as sub
stitute for any other form of hot drink, and
it is in every way superior. 1t is a good
form of food. and though fluid before taken
into the stomach. after coming in contact
with the digestive juices is coagulated. and
becomes semi-solid. Good Health

has it for sale.
Lee and Shepard publish Q book entitled
"The BOYS of Thirty-Five". the author Of
which is Edward II. Elwell, the we'll known
interesting writer and editor of the Portland
Transcript. The scene of the work is laid
down in the volume a. Landsport, which il
only another name selected BY the author for
the Portland of half century ago. Mr..
Elwell was born there, and his love for the
old city is no greater than is his knowl-
edge Of the associations which cluster
in and around it. How the boys
lived and conducted themselves, what
they saw and went through in those days, the
author aims to picture in the present
volume; and he accomplishes his object
very successfully. The book however.
is not q story of the usual character; there
10 little or no plot to be unraveled. II u
rather series of incidents and revelations,
in which the heroes attract our attention BY
their wild escapades, their deeds Of daring,
their divers forms of amusements and occupa-
tions. Not q few of these young fellows
are. by name, familiar to US to-day on &C.
count of the high stations in life which they
have since reached. The book will prove 8
