that is in the end England is likely
to hold her own. There will be many
a fierce and deadly conflict before it is
all over. There will be many a name
crossed off the company rolls. Only
one result will come, however, and that
is the very DID, old one that is almost
traditional of every country which
John Bull dominates over the people
who consider themselves the rightful
owners and governors of all: English
supremacy will be maintained, but the
hatred of the natives Of the British
and all that pertains to them will be
increased tenfold.

AIR IN THE ALPS.
Lungs and Muscles Adapt Them

selves to the Atmosphere.
Remarking upon the fact of the
marked enlargement of chest capacity
which is often found after a few
months residence in the high Alps.
and the tendency to a development
of compensatory emphysema around
the diseased and contracting portions
of the lungs, a writer in The Hospital
refers to the evidence, as recently
shown, that not only do the chest
muscles adapt themselves to the new
conditions presented by that region, but
that the blood itself becomes altered
in response to the lessened amount of
the more rarefed oxygen which each
blood corpuscle can carry. The effect
noticed of this process of adaptation
is that the red corpuscle multiply
considerably, while, according to some,
the haemoglobin is increased also-in
any case, the oxygen carrying of the
blood is augmented. This accords fully
with the well-known effect of noun
tain air in the treatment of anaemia,
and also with the feeling of well-being
felt by visitors to high attitudes, but
1t does not do to dissect a climate too
much, or to attribute to one or two
factors what really is due to the con-
currence Of many influences.

anger in vigorous language. After n
little the Bible WAS opened again. and

Berthn Piersou and FRAU Schroeder Hanr-
staengi Critical Views.
Two German singers who are well known in
New York have recently retired from the the
aires with which they had been for many years
connected. One of these is Bertha Pierson, who
was one OF the dramatic sopranos at the Royal
Opera in Berlin for a long time. She sang here
with the American Opera Company, and in Ber-
lin was conspicuous chiefly for her singing as
Taicntinc, !SantuS-d and Sentd. The last was
considered by many people to be her best role.
At Frankfort, not long ago, Frau Schroeder
Hanfstaengl, who sang here during the days of
the old German regime at the Metropolitan Opera
House. made her last appearance on the stage,
singing VdIcntinc in lies Huguenots.'" She
had been for thirty years n singer, and now, fol-
lowing the example OF Materna, will devote her
self to teaching.
One OF the Jehin productions at Monte Carlo
this winter has been Goldmark's Queen OF
Sheba.' and nothing about the manner in which
the work was received is more striking
than the criticism OF two of the perform
been heard in New York city. One OF these was
Victor Maurel, and the other Lola Beeth. The
French critics wrote of the remarkable strength
OF Maurel's voice. which, according to their &C.
counts OF his singing. has taken on a great deal
OF the power that was believed to be lost per
manently by persons who heard him here. As
curious a contrast to local opinion OF an artist
is found in the case Of Lola Beeth, who was most
extravagantly praised for her singing. The
same thing was lately heard from Munich,
her visit to tho Royal Opera House was tho
event OF the season. Nothing is more ineNplica-
bic at times than the foreign views OF singers
whose capacity is we'll known here.

THE GOLDEN RULE OF TRAVEL.
a Mothers Advice to Her Daughter About
Sightseeing In Europe.

Two women stood on the deck OF a great ocean
liner and were plainly absorbed in the emotions
OF a first parting. One OF them was gray haired
and highbred, and the girl who stood by her
was her daughter beyond a doubt. There
seemed no difference between them beyond the
twenty-five years that separated them In age.
Both were crying quietly. Tho girl held
a bunch OF flowers in one hand. From n
distance a party OF their friends watched
them for n moment. and then turning away
pointedly ignored the scene which 1t seemed n
violation OF confidence TO interrupt. The mother,
talking In low tones, had been chiefly occupied
In giving the girl advice as 10 her conduct on tho
trip and her duties TO the friends who were to
chaperon her. 1t WAS q trst parting between
mother and daughter. The girl had to observe a
great many rules. which would never have
troubled one not Of the rich and prominent.
The mother had tenderly gone through a list
OF suggestions and the sirl had listened to them
with her arm about her mothers neck. The first
bell sounded and warned the mother that little
time was left.
And. dearest Celia" she said AS the girl
drew closer TO her, 4" The most important thing
