ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera-house tonight the
beautiful opera, 1.-THE Chimes of Nor
mandy" will be repeated. The produc-
ton has served to confirm the judgment
of the public concerning the excellence
OF Miss Crews voice and her capacity in
a dramatic sense; it has also presented
Mr.. Leech in a new and strong light,
which shows him TO superior advantage
as dramatic artist, while Miss Huff has
added materially to the laurels she has
won here as d contralto OF fine quality
and an acGress OF much skill. 1t is under
stood that next week Valegra, a we'll
known tenor OF San Francisco, will join
the Opera-house company, and will make
his appearance next Monday night in
"Ihe Pirates of Penzance.'
The misapprehension of one word by
the compositor made the RECORD UNION
say yesterday. concerning the Clunie-
Opera house company, that among the
additions was the Swedish Ladies' Quar-
tet" 1t should have read among the
auditors.' And yet both the writer and
the compositor still live, in testimony
that mercy has not yet departed from
among men.

The remedy must begin with the foundRs
ton. The problems which long endear
vored to have put before the students in
architecture while / was director OF the
Institute of Technology consisted Of the
questions with which was called upon to
deal myself 1 would make the problems
given out to students in every school of
architecture, to the extent of one-half the
number submitted, of prosaic type. One
would be the layout of an industrial town,
choosing as possible site bit of unoccu-
pied land somewhere in the neighborheod
of the city, with stream running through
it, corresponding to site by river where
power might be generated, or by landing
place for the fuel from which the power
might be derived
To one pupil / would assign the layout
of the land; to another the water supply
and drainage; to another the construction
of the principal factory; to another the con-
struction of the lesser workshops; to an
other the grocer's and other shops; to an
other the blocks of dwelling houses; to an
other the separate dwellings; to others the
Catholic and Protestant churches; to an
other the hospital. and to others the school
houses. Here you have the real problems
of American industrial life, scarcely one Of
which has yet been taught OF solved in the
right way, so as to combine true art with
utility and safety. Atkinson.

People who use incandescent lights should
always keep in mind the fact that there is
danger ever lurking about the brilliant lit
tie illuminators. 1t is an easy matter to
explain without going into the technicali-
ties of electric science. OF course you will
say 80 or 100 volts will not do much harm,
but don't be too sure of that, and particu
larly don't imagine that so or 100 volts is
all your little wire will carry.
Sometimes the incandescent gets crossed
with high circuit wire. In that case it is
expected by the electrician that the safety
fuse will blow out and thus cut off the con
nections, but sometimes this fuse don't
work. could cite many instances in which
it did not, and as a consequence disaster
resulted. No matter how much care is taken
to make the lights safe, there is always
danger in fooling with lightning. Never
attempt to turn on the light should the
floor be wet, for ground circuit is dead
ly thing, and don't take hold of the metal
fixtures with one hand and then use the
other to turn on the light. The precautions
are easily observed. -pa.aon Transcript

The Black Cat Superstition.

A lady going up Charles street was very
much interested in the performance of a
black cat which was hunting for tender
sparrow on which to make breakfast.
The cat proved to be successful sport. He
bagged the game and ran across the path
between the lady and a gentleman ap-
preaching from the opposite direction. The
gentleman was on his way down town to
business. When he saw the cat, he stopped
short, as if he had been shot, turned around
three times on his heel, said Darn that
cat" and hurried away from the spot.
The lady, who very well understood all
the actions of the cat, was so surprised by
those of the gentleman that she became
fixed to the spot. She could not make it
out until black woman informed her that
it was mighty bad luck for black cat to
cross ones path, especially on the way to
business in the morning" She also learned
that the way to break the spell OF i'll luck
was to turn around three times and ''cuss''
the cat mildly. Satisfied with this solution
of the question, she did not consider it nee
essary to step across the street to consult
any further authority on the black art IN
the Peabody library, within sight OF which
the incident occurred = Baltimore Letter III

rhe Kaiser as a Latin Student.

Emperor Williams love Of the use OF
Latin quotations-he is an excellent Latin
scholar, due to the splendid training at the
gymnasium of Cassel-was illustrated
again recently in his telegram to the Berlin
Regatta Wansee society. "Navigara necesse
est, vivere non necesse," wrote his majesty
in the course of his congratulatory words.
The saying, it may be remembered, is that
Of Pompey, and is to be found in chapter %
of Plntarch's biography.
In order to prevent famine in Rome Ia
the year 81 B. c., Pompey was empower
ed TO import as much grain as possible to
the city. He had 10 assistants. In order
to assure the success of his work he went
in person to Sicily, Sardinia and Africa.
When on the point of returning home, a
terrible storm broke forth, and the sailors
refused to put to sea with the load of grain.
Pompey sprang into one of the ships and
commanded the anchors to be raised, adj
ding. st is necessary that we embark; it
is not necessary that we live" This elas-
steal remark is engraved over the entrance
to the famous "Schafferhaus" in Bremen.

A prominent doctor, a noted specialist
in the diseases OF children, tells a
story of Mrs. Green that throws g Curl
GUS light on her character. One day, q
dozen years or more ago, ne was called
upon by a plainly-dresee6 woman, ac-
companied by half-grown boy afflicted
by serious knee trouble. The woman
said she was very poor, and the doctor,
though for some time he treated tie
child regularly. forebore in consequence
to speak of payment. One day. quite
by accident, the doctor learned the
identity of his customer and lost no
time in sending her bill for handsome
sum. This bill, after some delay and
protest, was paid.
Mrs. Green is now worth not less
than $4,000, 900, and her wealth ia
variously, yet always wisely, invested.
She owns government bonds galore,
holds stock in dozen different rail-
roads, cantrols big blocks OF real estate

in New England manufactures and her

Counterfeiters.

One great benefit that the people of this
country as a whole derive from national
currency is the difficulty which counterfeit
ers have in initiating the paper and engrav-
ing used in it's manufacture. A counterfeit
bill is very seldom seen in New York city,
for example, and is never willfully present
ed in any large store. 1t is not difficult for
the newest immigrant to learn the distinct
i've marks and touch of our paper currency,
and the Chinese, who only learn the APP
pearance of the figures denoting the
amount of the bill, are practically infal-
hble in their Judgment of good money
The United States secret service is well or
ganized so far as the running down of
counterfeiters is concerned, and the GER
tainty Of detection and punishment is so
great that the regular professional Ameri-
can crook has given up the making OF
counterfeit bills as bad job.-New York

Sixty Miles of LOcuStS.

The African Steamship company's
steamer Winnebah, which recently ar
rived from West Africa at Liverpool,
had most unusal experience when
steaming between the ATTITUDES Of Cape
Verde and ST. Louis, Senegal. For 60
miles the vessel steamed through 1ocusts,
which were so thickly packed together
on the top of the water that they COM
pletely covered the surface for miles
around; indeed, they appeared to be ly-
ing on the sea as far as the eye could
reach. The locusts had, no doubt, been
blown from the Morocco coast into the
sea. They resembled gigantic grasshop-
pers, and one which was secured was
inches in length. Of course all of the
locusts had been drowned.-Westm

The latest triumph of Yankee invent
i've genius is in an india rubber fish
worm. 1t is said to be a remarkably
good imitation of the common earth
worm, is indestructible and in actual

genuine article. The old fisherman will
be quick to perceive its advantages. One
can equip himself for days sport with
out digging over a whole garden in his
search for bait. A handful of india rub
Der worms will last him a whole season,

up the line every few minutes to see If
the small fry nibblers have left the hook

Fred Grant on Diplomacy.

Colonel Fred D. Grant, in his address
at the dinner in the Brooklyn Union
League club, spoke of diplomacy and
concluded by giving his ideas of the
qualifications diplomat should possess.
"First," he said, ga diplomat should be
absolutely loyal to his own government,
for no foreign statesman will respect Or
trust a man who has not always been
loyal to the country he represents. He
must be sufficiently educated in his pro-
fession to be able to intelligently discuss
the intercourse between nations and pro-
pose honorable and fair dealings for the
future, and he should be able to do this
in the French, which is the diplomatic
language, in the language of the country
to which he is accredited, as well as liz
his own tongue. Second, diplomat
should, upon every possible occasion,
show most cordial feelings for the gov
eminent, customs and institutions of
the nation to which he is accredited and
make every one with whom he comes in
contact feel that he is their friend.
Without these qualifications diplomat
can be of little use to his country, and
his record will be either inglorious OF
utterly devoid of Importance. "-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Why "Annie Laurie' Was Played.

The following was one of the most
striking incidents Of the day on which
all that was mortal of the late mayor of
Chicago was laid at rest:
One of the bands that had marched in
the funeral procession when passing the
Auditorium building south on Michigan
avenue on its homeward march in the
evening struck up the tune Of ''Annie
Laurie" The music was cheerful and
stirring. A large crowd naturally gath
cred in front of the hotel to see and hear
the band and view the regiment Of SOL
diers that followed in its wake Those
who at first failed to recognize the IA
niliar air, and even many Of those who
did, wondered at the lively strains from
a band which had but few hours pre-
viously been playing solemn funeral
dirges in the procession from which they
were returning.
Gradually the meaning of it all dawn
ed upon the minds of the people, and the
words, ''For my bonnie Annie Laurie
would lay me down and Dee doubtless
were silently spoken by those who re-
called the last word that fell from the
dying lips of Carter II. Harrison-"An-
ME. "-ChicagO Correspondent.
