At the opera house last night the amuse-
ment season was opened by the Metropolitan
Comedy Company, in the presence of small
but thoroughly appreciative audience. South
Bend people, for some reason, are suspicious
of a show that makes more than one night
stand, and several most excellent companies
have suffered from this prejudice. The
Metropolitan company is declared by every
one who saw the performance last night, to
have been first-class company in every re-
spect. The company is made up of excel
lent talent; the costumes are as fine as those
carried by any company, and the hearty APP
plause given last night shows that the efforts
of the actors were highly appreciated. Ed
q. Bourne as "Old Rogers" Ada Howard as
"Esmerelda," and Frank Tucker as 'Dave
Hardy" could scarcely have been improved
upon. while Miss Emma Keene very accept
ably filed the role of Norah Desmond, and
j. G.. Mcdowell afforded an immense amount
of fun in his Interpretation of "Estabrook."
The other members afforded the above men
toned very good support. The first per-
formance wag surprisingly successful, es-
pecially considering the circumstances, and
we bespeak for the company a far better
patronage tonight, on which occasion they
present the great sensational comedy-drama
"Queen's Evidence"-.South Bend Times.

Opening the Fountains.

In numberless bulbs beneath the skin is
secreted the liquid substance which gives
the hair its texture, color and gloss. When
this secretion stops, the hair begins at once
to become dry, lustreless, brittle and gray.
Is that the condition of your hair? If so,
apply Parker's Hair Balsam at once. 1t will
restore the color, gloss and life by renewing
the action of nature. The Balsam is not an
oil, not dye, but an elegant toilet article,
highly appreciated because of its cleanliness.

Thread Fringe for Tidy.

Procure two large spools Of the cheap
French thread, such as is used for
basting, and use for the fringe, instead
of the coarse machine cotton of which
the tidy is made. This cheap thread,
being twisted but lightly, makes a more
fluffy" and much softer fringe than the
more expensive brands. Procure a
strip Of box cardboard three inches wide,
or a smooth stick six inches around, and
wind its entire length with punches of
thread, each bunch containing from
fifteen to twenty threads, making when
doubled, thirty or forty ends in each
tassel Of the fringe. With sharp
pointed knife cut these, letting them
fall off the stick SO carefully as lot to
become tangled. Pick up each bunch
separately, and place the ends together,
thereby forming loop in the middle -;
with an ivory crotchet-needle, draw
this loop through a mesh in the edge
of a tidy; then draw the ends through
the loop and pull down tight. Proceed
in this way until the tidy is entirely
fringed: then shake out carefully, and
trim off all uneven threads. -Country
Gentleman.

Farmers Organizations.

Combinations, pools, rings, aud or
CARNATIONS of various kinds exist IN
most lines of commerce, manufacturing
labor, and even in some of the higher
arts and professions. Agriculture alone
is without the protection afforded by
consolidation of individual interests,
and an organized resistance to unjust
entertainments; yet no other industry
is more in need of such organized re-
sistance to ROBBERY than is farming. Ii
scarcely one Of the operations connect
ed with husbandry is the farmer able
to dictate terms to those who buy OF OF
sell to him. Yet no class has greater
natural power over the very existance
Of mankind than have they who furnish
the daily bread Of the world. By com.
bining, as railroads, spectators, and
others do. formers could compel
all the world to comply with
their demands, for men must cal
though the Kingdoms fall and empires
disappear. Ships may be built and
manned, factories may b filled with
machinery and operatives, railroads may
stretch across the land, elevators may
be erected, and spectators, merchants,
and manufacturers My stand ready for
business nd, if the farmer fail to give
them work, there they will stand idle.
All are dependent upon the farmer, and
he alone of all classes can live 1ndepend-
ent Of the lest of the world, Yet, by
the sheer force Of combination, the de-
pendent classes have so reversed the
natural order that the tiller of the land
is the slave, toiling for the pittance al
lowed him from his own earnings by
those who, in the natural order, should
be servants and not masters. This h as
been the condition of things so long and
SO generally that it seems now to be the
natural condition of affairs. Chicago
Tribune.
