WHO ARE N THE BOXES?


New York Journal.
The annual season Of grand opera in
French. German. Italian and a few as
sorted dialects began al the MecrOpJl-
ltan Opera House Monday night. Ever
since the sale OF subscription seats be-
gan the air has been filed with state
ments that this would be the greatest
season ever known at the Opera House.
A glance al the prospectus is saJisfac-
tory evidence that the greatness Will
not consist in The brilliant production
of new operas nor in the novel pre-
sentation OF old ones. No, the one
thing about which no one cares al the
Metropolitan Opera House is the opera.
The singers command certain amount
of attention. and the new gowns and
jewels Of the principal donnas COM
mand still more.
BUT the really serious topic of dis
cussion is. VINO are in the boxes and
what do they wear? The C0nsiderate
stockholders went so far last season
as 10 put The numbers of their boxes
on The front rail, so that persons look
ing in the programme to learn who oc-
cupied box No. 81 would have no diff
Guilty in finding the box. But the plan
falls short of meeting the full public
demand. II is not possible, for in
stance. TO be absolutely sure that Mrs.
Goldbug is in her box on any given
night although we find the box and
her name in the bill.
When any Of the leading singers is
"indispCsed' the management posts
small bills announcing that fact and
informing opera-goers who Will take
that singers place Now it would be
only fair 10 adopt some similar plan
with regard to the box holders Of
course. a sign reading In or Out
suspended over the box would help,
but it would be inelegant and sugges-
tive Of lawyers offices. HaLdbills Civ
ing the revised list Of box occupants
for the evening might be distributed;
but the proper way 70 do it would be
to publish list in The programme
every night. with the color scheme Of
each lady's costume as a guide. If the
mere addition of numbers TO the front
of the boxes last season could cause so
large an increase in this seasons sub
scription, what would be the growth
next year with a certainty of recogniz-
ing every box occupant on sight?

TALKING DOG.
A Washington Pug Which Can Say
One Word.

A Washington Pug Which Can Say
One Word.
Perhaps the most intelligent dog in
Washington was owned by Mr.. KOt
zebue, the Russian minister 1t is an
Esquimau, a descendant of the famous
dogs owned by Lieut.. Peary. 1t got a
fall last spring which resulted in a
slight lameness. The dog was placed
on soft mattress and tended with the
most loving care.
The injury was such a small affair
that the physician began to wonder at
the slowness of the recovery. After a
few days he could find nothing wrong
with the creature, who had a good -
petite and was apparently well, cGly
he refused to rise from his couch and
walk. At last the physician made up
his mind that it was deliberate case
of sham, that the dog enjoyed the caro-
he got as an invalid so much that 10
was lOath to go back to his old life.
So, one day, his doctor put him on his
feet, spoke sharply to him and con-
graduated himself on the conclusion
he had come to when he saw the ami
NAL walk off with the utmost ease.
Washington Is the home Of another
wonder In the shape Of a dog. 1t Is a
pug owned by Miss Ellis. One Is al
most afraid to announce what its chief
accomplishment Is. but impossible as
it may sound, the actual fact Is the
dog Is q talking dog, and says
Mamma" with as much distinctness
as talking dolls display. 1t is a marvel
Of dog, wise beyond belief. and, al
though it does not say anything but
Mamma" it looks as though 1t could
say almost anything IL 1t had a mind
to.
Care Of the teeth of dogs forms an
important branch Of medical treat
ment. Many dogs have their teeth
cleaned regularly. and, Of course, near
ly all old, dogs have their teeth ex-
tracted. In a few cases the teeth have
been filled, but this industry is not car
ried on with dogs TO the extent that Il
is with horses.-New York Press.

thimbles, day and night, and which
had doomed for weeks before the mag
nation of the young, the fair and the
rich, who, ON that happy occasion, ri
vailed one another in splendor of APP
parel, affability of manner, and deter
mination to dance all night, till broad
daylight, and go home with the girls
in the morning"
When / emerged from my poor en-
vlrOnments, or, as my Lord LyttOn
more languidly expresses 1t, when
escaped from the dungeon of my low
estate. my knowledge of and familiar
ity with the merriment of the New
Year increased; for, from being the
mere spectator that had been, be-
came at last an actor therein. Several
years must be supposed to have
elapsed before this good fortune came
to me, and the scene to have shifted
from the little corner store, where l
first met his jovial majesty, the New
Year, to the comfortable dwellings Of
certain friends whose acquaintance l
had made in the interim. and to whom,
accompanied by other friends, now
made an annual pilgrimage. We were
young fellows. most Of us, and all good
walkers, rs we had need to be, since
many of these shrlnes were far apart,
not easily reached. as they would be
now by horse cars, electric cars or ele-
waited roads, and sheltered in the silent
security of pleasant streets. We met
In the forenoon In the rooms of one an
other, A, b and @, say, Mt the room Of
D, and each producing the names and
residences of those whom he intended
to visit, we discussed the order in
which our visits should be made, or, as
we put it, planned the days campaign.
This settled, we started, arm-in-arm, IL
the sidewalks were wide enough to
permit of marching four abreast, or
tandem, If they were too narrow for
that, tramping along in the cold wind,
which soon brought a glow to each
cheek and humming, it may be, the air
of some popular melody.
New Years day, beyond all others In
the twelve months, was ladies' day,
and it was to the ladies, and not the
gentlemen Of the house, that we paid
our visits and our respects-tO their
wives and daughters, their mothers
and sisters, their aunts and nleces, and
all their womanhoOd. They expected
us, and were waiting for US, clad in
their most blooming frOcks and laces
and jewels, and all, as one Of our old
time poets declared, beauteOus with
roseate smiles. They rose as we en-
tered and-it was long since, remember

CHARACTER AND HYPNorIsM.
An Individuals Strength Is Power
Against All Control.


Against All Control.
There would be little indeed in hypno-
tlsm and the scientific world might
rightly ignore its importance as a sub
ject Of investigation If It were proved
to have nothing more in 1t than the
dominance Of one will over another or
the power of so-called Suggestion" to
control human minds, says Harper's
Bazaar. But as with any other subject
worth investigating, much more is re-
vealed to the student Of hypnotism than
that which he at first sets out to dis
cover. No sooner, for instance, has
he established beyond question proofs
Of the power Of mind over mind and
Of suggestion" in control than he is
forced to recognize how little potency
lies in either when compared to that
great power of resistance to thdsn
which is generated by an individuals
own strength of character. No hyp-
notism in the world, as a great au-
thority has shown, can make a really
temperate person when under hypnotic
control, simulate or yield to drunken
ness; nor can truly modest person be
induced to do that which would, in
waking hours, SAVIOR of immodesty.
The man with true dignity Of soul
keeps his dignity intact, and one Of real
kindness of nature shows no glimmer
Of harsh feeling. And thus, as can
readily be seen, one more proof from
an unexpected source has been added
to those already in our possession go
ing to show the value and power Of
character, Of that which a man in
herently and intrinsically is, rather
than that which he appears to be. 1t
makes out, too, even a harder case
against Adam, who need never have
yielded to Eve but for weakness in
himself.

THE WELSH PRINcIRALlrY.
Why Old-Tlme superstitIOns, Customs
and Flavor Are Preserved.

Why Old-Tlme superstltlons, Customs
and Flavor Are Preserved.
It Is related that an English lord
once said to his guests: Il have a
mansion in Wales which have never
seen but which l am told is very fine.
Every day dinner for twelve is set
there and the carriage drawn up at the
door in case l should arrive" This
may illustrate, says a Scotch writer In
Lippincott's, the relation of Wales to
the average Englishman, for although
almost all the Welsh towns are merely
ten hours ride from London, there is
perhaps no other country in the world
lying 80 close to the center of ciViliza-
ton Of which so little is known to the
outside world. Book stores may load
their shelves with volumes on all sub
jects but few books will be found
among them on this quaint, quiet and
perhaps most picturesque Of all coun-
tries. The fact is, Wales is not much
visited, is lightly spoken Of and little
read about-not having produced a
Walter Scotland perhaps these cir
cumstances have done much to pre-
serve the place in Its typical state and
enabled the people to cling to old-time
superstltions, customs and language
and to present to a visitor a unique
and refreshing flavor wholly It's own.

boiled, and steamed and sent out a
epirltuous flavor. And around this
stove and close to this urn there was a
group os men with tumblers in their
hands, who were emptylng these tuIn-
blers as if they liked what they con-
tained. What did they contain! 1
know not, but l think the royal houses
Of Bourbon and Rye had not yet sue
cessfully invaded the Eastern States,
which were stoutly defending their
native sovereign, Rum, who, assisted
by his trusty vassals, sugar and lem
Ons, nutmeg and allsplce, stood up
boldly among his thirsty subjects, that
cold day in the Masquerade of Hot
Stuff.
Such was the way in which the COM
monallty of New York, to which be-
longed, celebrated the advent Of the
New Year. The gentry, as 1 learned
afterward, celebrated it with decorum.

Hereditary Pensions.

A number OF British noblemen are
in the receipt Of hereditary pensions.
The duke OF Richmond is the most
fortunate Of these, for he gets an an-
nual pension Of $4,000. The first duke
Of Richmond was an Legitimate son
Of Charles H.; and to him and his de-
scendants was given the right in per-
petuity to levy duty Of one shilling
a caldron on all coal exported from the
Tyne. This privilege was waived in
1899 in return for an annual pension Of
$4,000. Earl Nelson is in receipt OF
$1,000 a year; duke of Wellington Of
$4,000, and Lord Rodney $1,000. All
these were granted to the first holders
of these titles in reward for services to
the state, and will continue in perpe-
tuity to the holders Of those titles.
