: A stingy Tenor.

Tamagno is to fill an engagement in
South America next month. While in
New York the great tenor showed him
self to be even more penurious than his
tragic eountryman, Salvini. His valet
was his own brother, who also sang in
the chorus at $50 a month, while he got
5000 night as star. For the suite Of
rooms he engaged at the Hotel Martin he
was charged $5. so per day, but beat the
landlord down to So. The room he en-
gagged for his brother was $1.25 day.
Again he demanded reduction and got
twenty five cents off. Finding it too ex-
pensive to have his meals served in his
rooms, he ate with the other guests la
carte, and ordered very sparingly. After
singing, instead of having his supper at
the hotel, he went toa little italian res
taurant where he got meal for twenty
five cents. On the day of his departure
| for Europe he vacated his rooms a little
after daylight in order to save the rent
for the day, and went with his luggage
| to the steamer, on which he remained
until it was time for him to sing In the
evening and to which he returned after
the opera. He refused to pay for his
brothers room until threatened with lega
proceedings, and made a great time about
| It even then. To save on his laundr,
bills he washed small articles, like hand
kerchiefs and socks, himself. His brother
i sailed on La Normandie in the steerage

fords some contrast to that of Tamagno

Tender Hearted General Miles.

The rapid advancement of General
Nelson A. Miles was marvel even to his
friends, and, although he belongs to the
most Jealous body of men in the United
States, the Army, he has the friendship
of most of them. He was brave soldier
during the war, but no one pr0phesied
great things for him. It was only when
he married the adopted daughter Of SEN
ator Sherman, who was daughter Of
Judge Sherman, of Cleveland, and sister
of Mrs. Donald Cameron, that he became
prominent. There is touch Of old-time
chivalry in the new Majors Generals ma
ture that was brought out in his treat
ment of the poor white immigrants whom
Geronimos band plundered and muir
dered. There is one case especially
which he rarely tells, but when he does,
it is with clenched fists and tear-filled
eyes. There was poor white family,
named Wilson, crossing the plains when
the savage Apaches overlook and made
them captive, in time killing the father
and mother and oldest children, leaving
two young girls, whom General Miles,
by clever ruse, rescued. He took the
| two little waits to the fort, put them IN
his wifes charge and kept them fol
nearly two years out of his own pocket.
He then succeeded in getting good homes
for then, and his friends say that to this
day--that was eight years ago-he has
kept watch over them, sending then
gifts of money from time to time. -[Nev

Broom Corn.

Broom corn grows readily wherever In
dian corn grows. At present prices its
production should be profitable. The
seven States producing the largest amount
are, in their order, Illinois, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, New York, Nebraska, Ohio and
Iowa. 1t is planted in drills Oh rich land
the richer the better-and three and
one-half feet apart. When first up it is
''scraped;n that is the dirt is scraped
away from each side of the drill, exter-
minating the weeds. tits then cultivated
with the same tools and manner as ordi-
nary corn. 1t comes up quite feebly and
grows slowly at first, but when a few
inches high it takes start and grows
very rapidly When brushed" out and
the seed has passed the blossom, it is
'sbroken;" that is, the stalks are bent
over Just below the first joint. If this
were not done, the ''brush'' would be
bent down on all sides by, the
weight of the seed and thus be-
come crooked and worthless. When
s'broken," the brush hangs straight and
so ripens. 1t is sometimes ''tabled;' p
that is, the stalks of adjoining rows are
broken in opposite directions and low
enough so that the heads lap over and lie
one upon another. When the seed is
nearly ripe, but before the brush has
turned brown, it is "cut." In doing
this, the stalks are cut an inch orso above
the first joint, and the head and stalk art
slipped out of the sheath. It is ther
drawn up to barns or sheds which arr
fitted up with scaffolds from bottom tt
top. On these the corn is. spread Z
''cure." When properly dried, it i
threshed by being laid upon swiftly re
volving cylinders, having long, slim
spikes OF teeth, which strip of the seed
and leave the brush ready to sort ant
bale when it is fit for market. TIL
threshing, sorting and packing can b
done at any time during the winter. Th
seed is capital for hens, and if wei
cleaned, is very nearly as good as oat
for any stock; for cattle, hogs and horse
it is best when ground. New Yorl

The Lightning calculator looked over

Making Wax Figures.

Mrs. Jarley's wax works are famous all
over the world. So are Artemus Wards
wax fggers." The groups in the Eden
Musee have been visited by hundreds of
thousands. For the manufacture of
these they have their own artists. But
the public have not failed to notice the
wax busts in windows all over New York,
especially in the hair, millinery and dry
goods stores.
The industry of making these figures
is a most interesting one. 1t requires the
highest art to produce the best results in
this line.
There are only two places in New York
where this kind OF art work is produced,
and only one where best produced.
Three rooms on 9Th avenue contain the
studies and working departments. The
reception room is handsomely and artis-
tically furnished. Beyond this are two
other rooms, protected by portiere and
the sign, Z Positively no admittance." I"
But this denial to the general public was
kindly waived in favor of a reporter, and
the proprietor let him into the whole
secret Of the business.
Passing through the second room, where
several young ladies were busily and
somewhat mysteriously employed, thereal
operating room was reached. Here was a
revelation indeed. On shelves, neatly
arranged and carefully numbered, were
plaster moulds by the hundreds, that had
been taken from every sort Of human
form, male and female
The effect of the plaster casts, as it
struck the eye, was a vast assortment Of
mummies done in stone Some single
figures. in plaster, have as many as one
hundred pieces each. These have to be
put together with the greatest care when
Z q figure is to be cast. The wax is then
heated to just the necessary temperature
and poured into the mould.
The wax is shaken around like SO much
iellv until it has adhered in every part,
about an eighth of an inch in thickness
! In about twenty minutes the wax hardens
SO that it can be taken from the mould
aud, presto! out comes a lovely woman
or brave man, q handsome child, or I

seums in NewY York, Philadelphia, Chicago
