An Opera in a Private House.

The entertainment given by Madame
de Barrios at her house on the night of
March 10 was notable as being the first
time that private opera by professional
artists had ever been undertaken in this
country Only two other entertainments
of this sort have ever been given-one
by the Earl of Dudley, in England, about
ten years ago: the other by the Comtesse
de Chambrun, in Paris, about a year
since, and both these We're in charge of
Colonel Mapleson, who also managed
the opera for Madame de Barrios. The
opera was the third act of Faust" and

Cups Used by Tea Tasters.

The teacups used by tea merchants in
tasting tea are made especially for the
purpose of the finest French china and
have no handles or saucers. The teas
are carefully weighed out and placed in
the cups, when boiling water is poured
on them. Tea tasters nowadays de-
pend more upon the odor than the taste
of teas and some of the most expert do
not taste them at all, but rely entirely
upon smelling them. - Philadelphia

DO NOT ATTEMPT TOO MUCH.

"Oh, but 1 can't afford TO hire my

sre you trying to make what you earn

1t is not because men are more
capable that they succeed better in
business, but because they are more
sensible. They choose their work in
the world and give to it their strength
and time.
The day is coming when women
will be content to do what they can,
and not attempt the possible; when
they will make choice of one work, as
men do. and abide by it, whether
that work be profession, business or
