will be interesting to know that the
first programme of this season will be
presented by the club on Monday night

/ Few organizations ever gave more
delightful programmes in this city
than did the Beethoven String quar-
ltette, whose charming recitals always
drew musical and appreciative audi
!enee, who thoroughly enjoyed the
lch3ice programmes invariably pre-
scented with artistic finish and cul-
!tufe. For reasons best known to the
personnel of the quartette, their re-
hearsals were not renewed last season,
and they made no public appearance.
This year the quartette will be- re-
sumed with the members and inStru-
ments played as follows: Emile Straka,
first violin; Gustave Won GoetZen, sec
ond y violin; NJ. Pruetz, violin, and

Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler is a Chi
cago woman of whom the whole
country has good reason to feel proud,
for she is one of the cleverest pianists
now before the music public of either
continent, for she has an international
reputation. She was we'll known in
Chicago as brilliant pianist some
four years ago, before she went abroad
for an extended period of study with
the leading piano teachers of the con-
tinent, and since then she has made
a continental tour, in which she won
wide fame. When she went abroad
she settled down for three years OF
study under the direction of Leschet-
iZky, of Vienna, and to say that she
studied is to put it mildly, for she has
the reputation of doing whatever she
essays furiously, and in her three
years work she accomplished more
than most music students would do in
six. The continental press compared
her to the late Rubinstein in her un-
failing and brilliant technique, and de-
clared her to be one of the greatest
geniuses of the piano of modern times,
facinating in temperament, of splen-
did musical culture, and truly of
genuine artistic temperament. Mrs,
Zeisler is a cousin Of Moritz Rosen-

Ihe f1rst importation of cocoanuts
OF named varieties was made in 1870
when the secretary of agriculture oh
talheo through the state depart
ment two shiploads of selected nuts
from the Philippines. These. with
two other shipments in 1890 from the
same islands, comprehended fo,1r-
teen varieties. To get so MANY vari-
etles was no easy task, inasmuch as
not more than two or three kinds
grow in any one district or island
OF the archipelago, and they were
collected by a skilled botanist. who
made tour for the purpose. The
nuts thus received were forwarded
to growers in Florida. Certain sDe-

Oil and is of inferior flavor. The
shells are carved by the natives
into beautiful drinking cups. The
meat, of variety called "tayoma-
mis-, is prepared as delicious
sweetmeat with yams and sirup. An
other variety, on account OF its ex-
treme hardness, is known as 'ba-
ham, which means milestone.
The word cOcoanut is derived from
the Portuguese word COCO" meaning
monkey, because the base resembles
monkeys face. The tree was known
to the people of Ceylon as early as
16O B. c., the milk being used bv
them for making cement. The cocoa
nut is one Of the most useful of plants:
root, trunk, leaf, sap and nut ara
made to yield tribute to man. The
fiber of the husk furnishes excellent
yarn, and is preferred to horse hair
for stufhng beds, cushions, chairs and
saddles. 1t is stronger and more eIas-
tic than hemp. The Polynesians twist
small cords of this fiber, which serves
in the construction of houses and
canoes where Europeans would employ
nails. The green nuts are grated for
medicinal use. Grated cocoanut forms
an ingredient of the East Indian con-
diment, curry. In the Maldive islands
labor is usually paid for in cocoanuts.
The chief manufactured product de-
rived from the cocoanut is oil, valued
at seven cents per pound by the hogs
head. Most of the cocoanut consumed
in the United States is manufactured
in this country from imported nuts.
1t is valued in the making of candles
and soaps; it also serves as a substi-
tute for butter. 1t is used by natives
of the Pacific Hands for burning in
lamps. The kernals of the nuts. brok-
en- and dried, are called "copra" One
thousand cocoanuts yield 500 pounds of
copra, from which are obtained twen-
ty-f1ve gallons of oil. A good tree
yields 100 coeoanuts annually, worth
four cents apiece. The worst foe of
the planter is the black rat. which
builds its nest in fruiting trees and
destroys the nuts. To protect the
trees against the enemy the trunks
are incased in broad sheets of gall
vaniZed iron.

from publication. This abstraction is
delicate, graceful, spirituelle and yet
spirited. The lines of her face are less
square and decided than those of her
competitor and it is possible that,
though better to look at, she might not
be SO satisfactory to talk to. A draw
ing room is obviously her proper envi-
ronment, while there is a breezy some
thing about her sister which suggests
life out of doors. If the two were
obliged to compete with main strength
in the struggle for existence it is not
difficult to guess which would go to the
wall, but as long as the position of the
type of the old regime is so strongly
reinforced by the prejudices of man
kind as at present there is no immedi-
ate danger that she will be overcome
by her more vigorous rival.

Composite Picture of the New
Woman and the Old.
The composite photograph has come
to the front again of late. The most
recent use which has been made of
it is to capture for us the presentment
of the New Woman, whom everybody
has heard of, but whom, up to this time,
nobody has seen. This picture is a
composite of the countenances of the
following famous women: Frances E.
Willard, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Su-
san B. Anthony, Lady Henry Somerset,
Annie Besant, Anna Shaw, Belva Lock-
wood, Mary E. Lease, Lille DevereuX
Blake, Sarah Grand, Mary Livermore
and Mrs. E. B. Grannis.
Considering its component elements
the photograph is something of a.
surprise. The face is younger than one
would expect and less intellectual. 1t
is distinctly not altruistic. Those who
object to the new woman will find it
appallingly vigorous. 1t suggests the
type painters have always used to por-
tray the old Scandinavian goddesses,
or the daughters of the vikings who
reigned when the world was young.

they were willing to try, and that is
half the battle. It was true that
1T lacked good business management,
but that was owing to no lack of good
business ability on the part of its indi-
Yfdual members, for some Of them are
prominent in business circles, but it
was owing to a general disposition to
regard the business end of the associa
itfon as able to care for itself, conse-
'quently what little attention it got
came from the director, whose hands
were already full with the associa-
tion's affairs. The director of choral
association should have nothing what
ever to do with the business part Of
the club, and this should be in the
hands of men who would manage for
1t just as they. did any business affair
Of their own. This was the mistake of
the st. Paul association, and realizing
their mistake the association reorgan-

so as to get actively at work so as to

than let that bright record stand as the
sum total of their efforts.
There is a disposition this year with
the managers of the great artists in
music to have them appear in their
tour under the local management Of the
leading theater of the city in which
they are billed. This Is a good pract-
ical idea, and is better boIn for the art
ist and the public, for the first is in
the hands of men who understand
handling attractions, and the public
are less annoyed in securing their tick
cts by having to deal with men who
know how to care for big crowd as
well as for an artist. This season four
big attractions, purely musical, are an
nounced for the Metropolitan Opera
house of this city, and they will be
here about as follows: Mime. Guthrie

merriam soprano, and a strong COM
pany, Oct. 20 and 80; Nine. Melba and

will be other great musical talent an

year to wear, and occasionally be-
tween those seasons. 1t must be
hats and bonnets for the head,
wraps, Jackets, furs or cloaks for
the shoulders, gowns of every de-
scription for the body and dainty
gloves and shoes for hands
and feet. Besides these absolute
necessities there are hundreds am
not sure but thousands-of other
odds and ends, and all go to make
woman the charming being she us.
All these are made thicker or thinner
according to the season, but if some
person away off in some other planet
happened to readzithat our women
have but four seasons for fasrion's
changes that one might remark:
What reasonable beings those fe-
male creatures are. Our women
have new fashions every week"
1 am inclined to say that our wo-
men have new fashions every week,
too, or at least the main idea Of some
old fashion revived, revamped and
adapted is put forward as a new
one. We find the old beefeater
crown hat bedecked with fancy tar
tan plaid ribbons and a funny little
tuft of quilts and are asked to ad-
mire it under a new name. We see
a wide, fat brimmed hat of velvet
with regular Tam OShanter
crown, and this encircled with a fluff
Of white lace, topped with a bunch
OF ragged looking peacock feathers.
We find a velvet bonnet of not suf-
hcient size to mention in itself, as
this part is of no consequence at
all beyond its use as foundation for
a large bow of black ribbon and
three large black ostrich tips put
on in the most incomprehensible
manner. This we are asked to ad-
mlre under the name Of poor Marie
AntoInette. Next we are shown a
close little velvet capote with a bell
crown, a small and insignificant bow
in front and a couple of ostrich fea-
theirs standing up on one side like
TWO pine trees on a mountain. After
that we are prepared for a silver
gray silk beaver English walking
hat. The brim is curled very high.
The crown is low and rounding. and
on the right side is a large bow of
pearl gray ribbon made without stiff
fening. Set slanting across the
crown are two small silvery fur tails.
Next we are proudly shown a queer
looking hat, large and covered with
Silk muslin, somewhat in the stvle
OF the ancient calashes. This has
a tuft of white plumes on the back
OF the very low crown.
These are not all-no. nor a HIM
dredth part-of the novel fancies in
head wear, for there are bonnets for
opera and reception that are nothing
more than bow of ribbon on one
side and rose on the other held in
place with a twisted piece of rib
bon. There are hats almost three
feet in diameter. with an arrful of
= plumes upon them, there are tiaras
of jet or of rhinestones with no other
trimming and there are ever and
ever so many mannish hats. The
great hood worn by Mrs. Potter in
her play of ''The Queens Necklace"
has caught public fancy Just as 7

Quite a number of tropical plants
have recently been introduced into
cultivation in this country. Already
on the east coast of Florida are
growing 250,000 cocoanut trees, 42, 900
being on one plantation. 1t is be-

kind in the state sprouted from nuts
brought from Central America and
the West Indies by the gulf stream.
