Talking in Opera Boxes.


In German opera the orchestral part and
the chornses and d~eclamatory sections are
just as important as the lyric numbers,
and many CT the most exquisite passages
in the operas of Weber and Wagner are a
kind of superior pantomime music during
which no voice at all is heard on the
stage. Now / am convinced that much of
the talking in opera boxes is simply due
to ignorance of this fact. Vocal music is
much more readily appreciated than in
strumental music, and those who have no
ear for instrumental measures do not
realize that Others are enraptured by them.
Hence they talk as soon as the singing
ceases, unconscious of the fact hat they
are greatly annoying those who wish to
listen to the orchestra. Henry T. Finck

To Attain a Long Life.

The sum and substance of all the ad-
vice that can be given on that point is
that man must avoid excuses, he must
live nationally, according to the laws of
his being. You cannot get two quarts Of
milk in a quart jug. You can only secure
a certain amount of happiness in this
world, and you can only secure it accord
ing to good old fashioned notions, founded
OF common sense, virtue and morality.
Millions have tried their own foolish and
vicious ways of reaching the goal, but the
world has never reported that they have
been successful.-P. 4. Barnum in the
Epoch.

Beginning to See Alright.

The presidents mistakes in Maryland
and Indiana have been very serious. They
have been based on the idea which we be-
aieve is President Cleveland's own, that
the civil service ought to be reformed on
a sort of local option %plan-that Is. that
In states in which tho reform sentiment
was strong the s%poilsmen were to be re
sisted. but that in states in which the re.
form sentiment was weak they ought to
be allowed to have their way. The re-
suit has been, both in Maryland and In
diam, a most shameful decentralization
of the public service.-New York Even,

WHAT PROTECTION HAS DONE.

! How 1t Has Effected One Industry in
4 This Country and Germany.
"This house" said Mr.. Barbour, .the
Barbour Flax company Of Paterson, N. j.,
and the house of William Barbour Sons,
of Isburn, Ireland, are substantially one
house and are controlled by myself and
my two uncles, Mr.. Robert Barbour and
Mr.. John d. Barbour. The Irish house
was the parent house. My father, Mr..
Thomas Barbour, and his brothers started
American manufacturing soon after the
war, being induced thereto. by the pro-
tective tariff. We are engaged in the
manufacture of linen thread.
Ever since | can remember the Irish
house has had a large trade In Germany,
having agencies in Hamburg, Berlin and
other places Well, as soon rs German
trade increased of course orr plant III Ire
land increased, Naturally all of the
profits of the German trade were trans
ferred to and benefited Ireland. This went
on until a few years ago, when Prince
Bismarck concluded that the German PEG.
pie had had enough of it. The result was
that there was incorporated In the Ger,
man law a tariff On imported linen thread.
The tariff was SO high as to be practically
prohibitive. Well, what was the conse-
q%uencef This" said Mr.. Barbour, turn.
ing to a table, whence he took q large
sheet of blue paper, which he handed to
The Press representative. The paper con-
tanned architects drawings, and The Press
man read on 1t the legend, ''Plans for a
factory to be built at Ottensen, Germany"
"Ottensen is near Hamburg" proceeded
Mr.. Barbour. THAT factory is now in
process of construction. This simply
means that in order to preserve our Ger
man trade we have been compelled to go
to Germany and make goods, just as
IN 1865 we were compelled to come to
America to preserve our American trade"

Grafton is gentle, but thorough, and
unattended with disagreeable effects,
such as nausea, gripping pains, etc.
Seige1s Operating Pills are the best
family physic that has ever been discov-
cred. They cleanse the bowels from ale
irritating substances, and leave them in
a healthy condition.
The best remedy extant for the ban
of our ives-constipation and sluggish
liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all pois-
onous matter from the bowels. They
operate briskly, yet mildly, without any
pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses of Se1gel's Operating Pills will
break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish
taste, is caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses of Seigel's
Operating Pills will cleanse the stom-
ach, remove the bad taste, and restore
the appetite, and with it bring good
health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially de-
cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and
diarrhea. If the bowels are cleansed
from this impurity with a dose of
Seigel's Operating Pills, these disa-
greeable effects will vanish, and good
health will result.
Seigel's Operating Pills prevent
ill-efects from excess in eating or drink
ing. A good dose at bedtime renders a
person fit for business in the morning.
These Pills, being sugar-coated, are
pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste
common to most pills is obviated.
