ten years ago, when the Bolivia Captain

Alaska showed on her second or third
trip that, by an effort, and strict atten-
ton to business on the part of her
officers, the run could be made in frac-
ton under seven days. The Etruria, on
June 2, 1889, reached New York-that

was built for the especial pur.
pose of breaking the Etruria's
record, and she has just succeeded in
doing it-though not "the first time of

architecture, so far as speed and capacity
are concerned, has just made the run from
Queenstown to Sandy Hook in five days,
twenty-three hours and fifty-four min

ing the first vessel to make the trip under
six days. The end is not yet. We be-

Giri.o
At the matinee yesterday afternoon the
Bostonians sang Donizetti's delightful
comic operetta Don PaSquale to, we re-
greet to say, very sparse audience. The
little gem was exquisitsly rendered in all
its ports. Cardin as the willy and YER
satile widow gave us an exquisite rendi-
ton. Her vocalization and acting were
superb, and Messrs. Hoff, Barnabee ard
Macdonald were in prime voice, and
sang their solos and ensembles with
great acceptation.
In the evening Bales ever-welcome
Bohemian Girl WAS produced to the best
house that has yet been given to this
very clever troupe. The cast included
three of t q best male voices in the Com
pany, but the strongest members among
the ladies were missing. Miss Davis as
the Gypsy Queen" added new laurels
to her wreath won here, and Miss
Maconda, as "Arline," was very sweet
and tender in her acting. while she sang
the score of her role in very
effective manner. The Bohemian Girl
is one of the great ballad op aras of the
English stage, Astounding in pathetic
lyrics of the highest order. These gems
of song were all rendered to the delight
of the audience. The "Marole Halls"
as given by Miss Maconda, was redeemed
of all the burden of hackneyed familiar
ity under which it labors. The ''Heart
Bowed Down." as sung by Mr.. Melon
aid, elicted tempestuous burst OF ap-
plause. And "Then You'll Remember

entire opera were done in most artistic

Popularity Of the Banjo.

From the Rochester Democrat.
Some one has somewhere sugges-
ted, and the suggestion has gone for
fact, that the banjo craze, which a
few years ago seized men, women
and children, has had its day, and
that the decline has come.
"Any one who tells you," said Prof.
Ferguson, THAT the banjo has lost
any ofits popularity does not know
what he is talking about. The banjo
is strictly an American instrument,
and it.nOw has, and believe will
always have, its own distinctive place
as a musical instrument. I'll tell
you what has given some people the
impression that it is going out of pop
ular favor. There are certain people
who are fad followers and they
took the banjo up just as they would
take up knitting, tattipg or painting.
They don't have any particular lik-
ing for it, and have no ability.
These people would buy a cheap BAN
jo, tie pretty piece of ribbon on it,
take three or four lessons, enough to
become used to the cords and to be
able to play the Spanish Fandango,'
and then they hang the banjo on the
wall as a piece of bric-a-brac.
"This class of people are through
with the banjo, but, as matter of
fact, the instrument is played more
to-day, ana better played, than when
it was the thing with the -four hun
dred.' The people who are playing
it now play it for the music there is
in it and because they love it, not be-
cause it is all the rage 1t is easier
to learn than a piano and cheaper
to own, and that is why it
will be popular with the middle
classes, who have genuine taste for
music, although many of the best
people con tinue to play it,"

Minister'S Sons.

From tie Jewish Messenger.
A good deal of criticism is eXpen-
ded upon ministers sons. Because
there are instances of some turning
out badly many people shake their
heads and say: "There that's the re-
suit of early piety," and begin to
feel a certain contempt for the minis
try as practically uniting for his
own household.
Let us look at the other side of the
picture. Why dwell always on shades
and defects? Fortunately De CandOlle
and Gallon are helpful in this point.
The former affirms that for 200 years
the sons of clergymen have outnum-
bered any other class of families in
their contributions to the eminent
scientists.
Among sons of pastors were Agas-
IL, Berzvlius, Boerhaave, Encke, Eul-
ser, Linnaus, Olders and hos tot 9TH
ers. Hallam, Hobbies, Emerson, Sis
mondi were pastors sons, as were
Jonathan Edwards, Whately, Robert
Hall, the Wesleys, the Beechers, the
Spurgeons; and among the poets,
Young, Cowper. Thompson, Coler-
idge, Lowell, Tennyson, Montgomery
and others.
In literature and philosophy the
roll of ministers sons'is large: Rid,
Brown, Bentham, Cudworth, Aber-
crmbie, Dugald Stewart, Sterne,
Hazltt, Emerson, Matthew Arnold,
Thackeray, Bancroft, Holmes, Kings
ly, Lockhart, Sir Christopher Wren,
Sir John Reynolds, Lord Nelson
were pastors sons, while Mrs. Trollo-
pc, Mrs. Barbauld, the Brontes,
Jane Taylor, Mrs. Stove were minis
ters' daughters.
In cases where ministers sons turn
out badly the minister is not at fault.
If their fathers had been shoemakers
the result would have been just the
same.

MARRIED BY THE MUsTACHE.
One Common Defect to the Beauty of Span
ish Women.
PHILADELPHIA TINES.

The Spanish eye, large, humid, tender,
grand, lenguishiug, furnished with lsshes
90 long, so curling and go beautiful that
the pencil of the artist falls to despair; the
black pupil, the white sea, in which the
lustrous orb sails all is indescribable
Spanish eyes are sad. Spanish women when
they are coquettish and laughing have
sad expression. Is there a little OF the
Orient ltf: in their expression? Isit Moor
ish and does it speak Of the harem and the
inevitable heartbreak?
Next to the beauty of hair and eyes
comes the beauty of the flashing teeth.
These are 80 universally perfect that the
student of dentistry should 90 TO Spain to
find out how they manage it, There is
very little good eating in Spain. Per-
haps these faultless teeth are not spoiled
by cakes and pastry and sweets in child
hood. But the careless traveller expects
to be rewarded when the Spanish woman
smiles with a row of pearls, and he is al
most never disappointed.
Alas! here comes in the one note of die
appointment. Just above the teeth is a
little mustsche, sometimes a very big
HustdCucs Natuici III Dclue rO BSheAOue
of her gift Of hair, in a moment of forget
fitness added one dash of her brush too
many on some of these beautiful faces. 1t
is not universal, it is not inevitable, but it
il common. The Portuguese women ac-
cept the mustache and cultivate it, as
young men do, curling the ends. On a
very delicate face the little feminine mus
tache is not always disagreeable, but to
one who has passed the blOssOming hour
this heavy, dark, masculine belonging be-
comes an almost offensive feature, to for
eign eyes at least. Bat it is said TO be
agreeable to native eyes.
Next comes the pretty little Audalusian
foot, which in the grand dame, is always
shod in the most perfect of shoes, with a
silk stocking which defines very big
ankle and adjacent beauties. In the lower
classes the foot is, of course, not so well
clad; but it is always small and alert.
The Spanish woman is born dancing; so she
walks like high-stepping horse, squirting
the ground, and "Oh. she dances such a
way" Az Seville it is the poetry of mo-
ton, ss everything is poetry at Seville.
