Miss Iuttle's Recital.

Lincoln Is known abroad in many
ways and not least by the singers that
have gone from her midst. Mss Daisy
Tuttle gave a farewell recital at the Y.
N. c. A. Wednesday night preparatory to
becoming one of these singers who are
10 herald our musical abilities 10 the
world at large.
The audience was not large and yet
the lower part of the hall was quite
we'll filled. No musician could have
asked for more sympathetic hearers.
There was a little ripple of fellow
feeling throughout the hall which did
not show itself noisi.y, although a num-
ber Of encores were asked for.
Miss Tut.le was greatly aided by
Wilhelm Lamprecht violinist and Miss
Grace Griffith pianist. The program
was nicely arranged to relieve the
musicians. Miss Tuttle's voice is so
well known that it need hardly be de-
scribed. She sustains we'll her tones,
which are sweet and clear and in so
doing also avoids the ever painful
tremolo. But one or TWO of her selec-
tions required the lower notes of her
compass, but these showed that her
voice was wei rounded and pleasing in
her lower as we'll as higher tones. Her
selections were largely of a romantic or
der The jewel song from Faust at
the close was just as entranc-
ing as ever to those who
heard Il. Miss Tuttle's best work was in
Nevin's happy little shepherd song that
has made SD many friends in Lincoln.

the music is understood by NJ. Lam
precht. AS he played one forgot about
the instrument. too often. alas, are in
srument of torture, in the beauty or
sound. The violin had a story to tell
and told it.
Miss Griffith is coming into promi-
nance both as careful accompan!ss and
a pleasing so.oist. Her rendition OF
Hollaender's music showed strength.
She was in touch with Moszkowskis
soft but spirited composition.
Miss Tuttie sang as encores to her
first appearance ''Tatters'' and TO the
Snow Song" Dainty Little Love"

The Awful Carib Fish.

traveller in Venezuela gives an nter-
csting description of the fish of the
Orlnoco country. He says the party
several times came in contact with the
carib fish, which are the most ferocious
inhabitants of the water known. The
fish are not over ii inches long. but
they travel in schools. Their teeth are
three-cornered. Any living object
which attracts their attention is at
tackled with fury. Mr.. Thompson tells
ct an Indian woman who entered the
water to fill bucket. She was attacked
ny the fish, and reached shore ONLY to
Ole In Is minutes. The flesh was literal
~ torn from her body. Mr.. Dart. who
was with Mr.. Thompson, caught one of
the fish and pulled it up on the bank.
lie held the carib with his foot while
ne pointed at the peculiar teeth with
his finger. With quick movement the
carib Topped out from under Mr., Darts
foot and seized him by the finger, cut
ting that member to the bone. The
tsh frequently have been known to
bite ordinary fish hooks in two. An
other fish which the party often came
across was the morocoto. the flavor ~
which is like Lake Superior whitefisb

provided with molar teeth, and subs;s+s

THE QUEENS SERVANTS.

She Never Discharges One and Gets
Along Very Well with All of Them.
American housekeepers, who are for
ever wailing about the servant question,
will find it interesting to know how
Queen Victoria, who keeps four times as
many domestics as anyone here, man
ages them.
No servant is ever dismissed from 4
royal palace. This is probably the rea-
son why we hear so little gossip of any
kind about her majesty's household ar
engagements. The queen early made up
her mind that much of her comfort and
peace depended on the attitude taken
by her toward those with whom she
could not but be brought constantly
into contact.
Accordingly, no domestic is ever en-
gagged without the strictest inquiry be-
ing made into his or her private char
acter and general qualifications for the
post about to be filled, and, should
mistake appear to have been made, the
person in question is not sent away
with a more or less good character, as
would be the case in most establish
ments, but he or she is simply moved
down step and given position of less
responsibility.
Matrimonial engagements are not
discouraged, providing the contracting
parties are considered thoroughly re-
spectacle. When a marriage is immi-
nent the queen sends for the young
woman, and after a few kindly words of
advice presents her with large Bible,
which, it need hardly be said, soon be-
comes what is generally called family
Bible. Also, if the prospective bride
has been in the roya! service some time,
and has been distinguished by good
conduct, her trousseau is provided, and
she is often provided with small post,
carrying with it residence Most of
the royal lodges are occupied by couples
who were once in service at the castle,

r,4E BIKE SKATE A WONDER.
1t Enables One to Go where he Will
Ten Miles an Hour.

II Enables One to Go Where He VIII
Ten Miles an Hour.
An ingenious and practical machine
;s now manufactured which is COM
bination of the bicycle and the roiler
skate. The skater carries on each 1oot
something that is very much like mill
iature bicycle.
A bicvcle skate consists of stee!
platform connected by a system o1
forks. with two wheels about SIX lncnes
in diameter. one in front of the foot ana
tho other behind. The foot of the skater
is about two inches from the ground:
The wheels being at the extremiues u
the platform the base on which the TWO
feet rest is very long, and the Point Oh
snnnort is made as strong as possible.
This position of the wheels avoids 1ne
shocks produced by stone or otner oo-
stacle suddenly encountered. ESPer'-
ence has shown that if wheels were
nlaced beneath the feet the skater
would inevitably be thrown forward
when he came on such obstacles.
The wheels are fitted with ball bear
ings and tire of hollow rubber. Pneu-
matte tires have been discarded as not
strong enough.
The movements necessary in using
these machines differ very little from
skating on ice and the exercises are
practically identical with roller skat-
ing. The skater must turn his feet
out, hold his body straight and lean his
weight alternately on each foot. 10
slacken speed in going down hill it's
only necessary to turn the feet'1n as
one does on ice. 81"
The bicycle skates were invented in
England and have already been used
extensively in that country and in
France A proficient rider can easily
travel from ten to fifteen miles an hour.
It is claimed for the skates that they
give the riders the advantages OF bl-
cycle riding and walking at the same
time. With them a man can go as fast
as he would on a bicycle when riding
for pleasure. When he comes to
place where bicycle could not go he
can take off his skates and carry them
with him. Thus he may climb noun
tain, get over fence or walk in wood
without inconvenience when out with
his skates. AS they are easily portable,
he runs less danger of having them
stolen than does the bicyclist with his
machine. They are also less expensive.

powers. 1t 10 conoiliatory in tone but reso-
lutte, and, while expressing a willingness
10 withdraw the Greek fleet from Cretan
waters insists that the land force shall re-

the unlikelihood that the present proposals

Regarding the proposition for autonomy

our own troops, which are worthy the full

a mandate to pacify the island, their de-
sires and intentions would have been
promptly received with the most perfect
satisfaction. Then, order being restored,
1t would be possible to ascertain the freely
expressed desires of the Cretans for de-
cision as to their fate. The sorrows which
have regularly occurred in Crete for many
decades not only profoundly agitato the
Hellenic people, but interrupt also all So
cial activity and gravely disturb our do
mestio economy and the finances of the
state. Even If we admit the possibility of
forgetting for single instant our commu-
nifty with the Cretans in religion, race and
blood, we could not in silence allow the
great powers to assume that the Greek
state is able longer to resist such shocks
Therefore we appeal to the generous
