The concert given at Music hall on Fri
day night by Herr Anton Schott, the great
Wagncrian tenor, and his able pianist, Mr..
Fickenscher, was a musical treat which
ought to have commanded crowded
house. Instead of this he was greeted by
a few score of people only. One is led to
inquire, and naturally, what is the matter?
If Los Angeles is fortunate enough to have
a man like Herr Anton Schott here, why
will it not give him the reception he de-
serves? Should it be the good fortune to
in any way persuade Herr Schott to re-
main and give another concert, it is hoped
that Los Angeles will turn out in force and
accord the great singer perfect ovation.

IN THE POLITE WORLD

The past week in the world of fashion
was distinguished for an unusual whirl of
gayety. The largest events and those of
most absorbing interest were the Mark
Jevne wedding of Wednesday evening and
the second assembly ball that took placeat
Turnveren hall on Friday night. The we'd
ding of Miss Genevieve Mark and Jack
Jevne was large church affair and one of
the brilliant weddings of the season. It
was especially notable for the beauty of
the bride and her cotere of brides maids,
who are among the prettiest girls in the So
cial world.
The assembly ball drew out large
crowd, notably of the younger set of soci-
ETY.. Many beautiful gowns were worn, and
the whole affair was pronounced SUCCESS
full issue for the charitable cause for which
both balls were given, the benefit of ward
in the new medical college.
Dinners of more or less Importance,
luncheons, teas, receptions and dancing
parties were scattered throughout the
week.
The musical tea given by Mrs. w. w.
Cochins and Miss CochDs on Tuesday was
the most recherche occurrence of the day
functions. The decorations were exquisite
and effective. and the affair was perfectly
arranged in every detail. Mrs. Cochins,
looking extremely we'll in black gown,
and Miss Cogswell, charming in yellow
satin yelled with chiffon, were assisted in
receiving by Mrs. Margaret Hobbs, Mrs.

Hints About Horses.

A few horses, like people, are bad
tempered and vicious by nature, but
they are more rare than human beings
Of that class. The majority Of bad
horses are made so by unkind or I'M
wise treatment, and most of the evil
is done while they are yet colts or in
the process Of breaking. A horseman
cannot be too gentle. The only way to
feed grain to horse economically, so
that he will get the most good from
the amount consumed, is to feed 1t af-
ter the stomach has been partly filed
with coarser food; then digestion and
assimilation will be more complete, but
these minor things are those Of which
the average person never thinks, says
New York Farmer. The time to sell
l horse, after you have raised him and
made him ready for market, is when
ever you are offered a good price for
him. By holding for fancy figure you
are very apt to let the best customers
slip by, and the expense of keeping will
begin to rapidly diminish the possible
profit. It is desirable to have the colt
foaled in the fall rather than in the
spring. He is then weaned in spring.
when fresh grass is ready for him to
feed upon. Kept in the stable through
the winter. he can be trained and han
died as he should be from the very first.
If he comes in the busy season he is
more apt to be neglected. Fast horse
men condemn the draft horse as too
large for the farm and too slow for the
city streets, while for fire engines and
the express wagons the American trot-
ter was the only suitable horse; the
clumsy draft horse could never be of
any practical use. How much they
were mistaken.

UsIng the Separator.

In running separator, do not have
the milk needlessly warm. Mr.. Wage
ner, instructor in butter making at
Cornell university, teaches that 80 de-
grees is better than higher tempera-
ture. He believes that probably the
most important point in running a sep
arator is the thickness Of the cream,
and says: Adjust your separator so
that your cream will be as thick as
you can churn. By this l mean as thick
as can be and yet fall from end to end
of a revolving churn and not stick to
the sides when churning. Such cream
will generally contain S5 to As per cent
of fat. l consider this very important
point. Cream containing 40 per cent of
fat will churn more quickly and leave
less fat in the buttermilk at SIS de-
grees than will cream containing IS to
20 per cent at 60 degrees. The secret
of quick churning at the very low tenn
perature-52 to 55 degrees, which we
know to be the best-is to have your
cream very rich. This is an advantage
you cannot secure from cold settings,
it being difficult to obtain cream of this
class with much over Is to 20 per cent
of fat. The second point Of great I'M
portance is to cool the cream at once to
a low temperature least So degrees
and hold 1t there for few hours be-
fore warming 1t up to ripen. When
ever, in summer time, we are troubled
with cream that coagulates before It
gets much acid, or with different
churnings, which some of US have, 1
feel sure that chilling the cream direct
ly from the separator will help greatly.
We shall get better grain better flavor,
and more satisfactory results in every
way. 1 believe that this matter of care
less handling Of cream after 1t is sep
arated is the rock upon which many
butter makers split.

Exhibition Coops.

When some months ago there sud-
denly confronted the poultry fancier,
the glad tidings Of the concession In re-
duction Of express rates on poultry
breeding stock, he flattered himself that
at show times, by Encouragement Of
his exhibition coops he should be able
to save to himself many dollars. as
compared with past transportation
charges, writes Nellie Hawks in Prac-
teal Farmer. But this dream proved
to be a delusion after time. Some
among the prominent breeders of this
section had made over, at considerable
expense, the coops they had exhibited
their fine specimens in heretofore. For
the new law required all shipping
GOODS to be of wood entire II the ship
per would receive the benefits of half
rates. So far, the new law worked ad-
mirably. Everybody was glad, and
many more sales and purchases were
made upon the strength of it. But
when it came to express rates on exhi-
bition coops and specimens, therein the
fancier found himself none the better
off for having had his canvas-coVered
frames converted into heavier wooden
coops. With the canvas coops we were
charged double first-class rates wheJ
sending fowls to exhibitions. Blu
birds and coops sent out for exhibition
purposes were returned free when such
rates were paid, and, of course, light
weight coops saved much in expense in
SUCH a case. The exhibitor, calculating
upon saving half the express charges
by having his exhibition coops remod-
eled and more firmly constructed, had
not counted that the additional weight
of said coops would equal or exceed
in transportation charges the charges
made upon canvas coops. Under the
new ruling, the exhibition cOops and
specimens sent to shows at single rates
must be paid for at same rates upon
return of them over the road, While
birds sent in canvas coops and at dou-
ble first-class rates were returned free.
Thus was the remodeler of coops
mt to all this additional expense. he |
sides adding to, rather than diminish
ing transportation charges to and from
the places of exhibition. One promi- |
nent exhibitor Of many fowls, without
having Investigated thoroughly, but |
having in reality Jumped to conclu- |
sions," had his exhibition coops all
remodeled at an expense of more than !
$50. Imagine his disappointment up !
on learning that coops sent out at sim |
gle rates must be also returned at sim
gle rates, whereas he had concluded
that at those single rates they would
be returned home, free Of charge, Just
as were coops upon which double first
class rates were paid. To live and
learn" is the only way. And such a
dear teacher does experience some.
times prove.

Antiquity of Burnt,wooa DECORATION.


It would be impossible to state posi-.
lively when this art was first p.ac-
ticed. Burnt panels have been found
in various parts of Europe, set into
ancient furniture, chimney pieces and
walnscotlng. In the museums of
Europe there are marriage chests, cof-
fers and panels dating from the If
tenth century or thereabouts, upon
which a species Of low-relief wood
work, not unlike the so-called fret
saw" work Of to-day, has been applied
or chiseled out, the fiat surface being
richly ornamented with fine traceries
Enthusiastically burnt with heated points.

while wandering through the seashore
villages Of Wales, found in peasants
hut rare panel Of burnt wood work
Of the Italian renaissance about the
fifteenth century,. The fisherman had
found 1t on the beach, where 1t had

THE PHlLosoPHIc DOG.

He Is Entertained without Charge in
the Best Restaurants Of Paris.
"Chocolat," is a Partisan canine curl
osity who has been attracting much
public attention of late. He is no
body's dog, but has managed to play
his cards so we'll that he can lunch at a
fashionable restaurant near the Made
lein land dine in an equally select eating
establishment in the Bots de Boulogpe.
Recently somebody has given him a
brass collar, inscribed with the words,
"Chocolat, the philosophic dog, who
has no master" The animal managed
to obtain free meals in the restaurants
by killing rats. He is also to be seen
occasionally at the cafe concerts in the
Champs Elysees, but nobody knows
where he sleeps. He is sometimes ar
rested as a vagrant, but his collar soon
obtains for him a speedy release from
imprisonment.
