A socialistic Experiment..

Perhaps it is not generally known tina
Henryk Sienkiewicz, the Polish novelist,
whose "Quo Nadis' is one of the most
talked of books of the hour, was once in
terested in a scheme for the establishment
of a Utopia in America. The project was
conceived in 1877 among a coterie of Polish
musicians and writers living in Paris. One
of the coterie was kalixt de Wolski. whose
account of his travels in America. inspired
his compatriots with a longing to establish
ali ideal community in this land Of liberty.
1t may be that they were acquainted with
the project formed some eighty years
earlier by Coleridge, Wordsworth, Southey
and Others to establish a Pantisocracy on
the banks of the Susequehanna-a project
which was nipped in the bud. However
that may be, Wolski discouraged his Polish
friends from undertaking the enterprise.
But the more ardent spirits prevailed. and
about a dozen eventually sailed for the
new world. Among the number were STEM

wife, Helena Modjeska- The exiles settled

The Spinner.

My spinning lies at set o. sun
Where all who pass may see;
And if tkey pause and if they run
1t were all one to me-.
For [ have spun a simple thread,
No more remains to do;
The bloom from off my vine is shed;
The leaf is falling too.
And none may know how many a thing
Spins with my linens fold;
The passing face; the wild birds wing;
The breath of Autumn's mold.
And now it lies upon the grass;
The dew clings chill and wet;
And some will come ana some will pass
To gaze and then forget.
But by and by dim stars will be,
And then the hush of night:
And then, mayhap Il shall not see),
Gods morn will make it whitel

promised appearance in a Wagnerian opera
is now a matter of pleasant anticipation"
Mr.. Davies will also sing in the Wagner
concert.
Nine. Calve seems to be proving quite as
potent an attraction on the concert stage
as in opera: and the concerts at which she
has sung since the operate season closed
nave draw crowded houses. OF her re-
cent appearance in Boston the HeKald says:
There was an audience of huge size in
attendance at Music Hall yesterday after
noon to hear Mile. Calve in her first APP
pearance here as a concert singer. The
affair was an immense success. artistic and
otherwise. Calve sang magniicently, de-
spite some slight trouble she experienced
with her voice, owing doubtless to the ca
which play such untimely tricks on the del
icate vocal chords of singers"
Assurance is given that the slight cold
referred to was but temporary, and that
there is no reason why she should not be
in the best of condition for Thursday
night. The Globe says of the same per-
formance:
'Calve sang in Music Hall yesterday
afternoon and a multitude applauded with
widest enthusiasm. The hall was literally
packed to it's capacity, and the audience,
realizing that a rare treat was offered,
manifested a determination to enjoy 1t to
the fullest extent. Judged by the amount
of enthusiasm developed the famous singer
has never won a greater triumph in Bos-
ton. She was given a genuine ovation on
her first appearance, and there were dozens
of recalls after. each selection"
Nine. CalVe Sang the same selections, by
the way, that she will sing here-DaVlds
bird song, La Perle du Bresil' and the
made scene from Hamlet" by Ambrose
Thomas.
THE SALE THIS WEEK.
1t has been decided to close the sale of
season tickets next Tuesday evening, in
stead of a day later, as originally intended,
this being necessary to get ready for the
sale for single concerts Thursday morning.
Patrons who have had season tickets lald
aside for them must get them by noon tC
morrow or they will be otherwise disposed
of. This rule is made imperative by the
directors.
When the sale for single concerts begins
next Thursday morning no person Will be
allowed to buy more than ten seats for any
one concert. Numbers will be issued at Z
O'Clock emitting those who receive them to
precedence in the selection of seats. The
demand promises to be the greatest ever
known in the history of the indianapolis
festival.
The festival book, which is beautifully
printed and illustrated, will be on sale at
the Big Four office and other places this
week. A charge of 10 cents, just enough to
cover the expense, will be made for it. 1t
contains the choral works in full and is
particularly valuable on this account as a
libretto.

Why Grant Never Swore.

Gen. Horace Porter, in his Campaign
ing With Grant" in Century, says: While
sitting with him at the campfire late one
night, after every one else had gone to
bed, said to him: "General, 1t seems
singular that you have gone through all
the rough and tumble of army service
and frontier life, and never been pro-
voked into swearing. / have never heard
you utter an oath or use an imprecation. :"
"Well, somehow or other, never learned
to swear" he replied. "When a boy |
seemed to have an aversion to it, and
when became man saw the folly of it.
| have always noticed, too, that swearing
helps to rouse mans anger; and when
man fl les into passion his adversary who
keeps cool always gets the better Of him.
In fact, I could never see the use of
swearing. / think it is the case with
many people who swear excessively that
it is a mere habit and that they do not
mean to be profane; but, to say the least,
it is great waste of time"
His example in this respect was once
quoted in my hearing by member OF the
Christian commission to q teamster in
the Army of the Potomac, in the hope of
lessening the volume OF rare oaths with
which he was talicizing his language,
and upon which he seemed to be placing
team out OF mud hole. The only reply
evoked from him was: "Then thar's one
thing sart'in: the old man never druv

How Glass Bottles Are Made.

Have you ever seen glass bottles
made? 1t is very simple when you know
how and have the necessary tools. A
big kettle is filed with glass, which is
melted until it is like molasses and is
redhot Then big lump is taken upon
long piece of iron pipe and is dropped
into mold. The man who drops 1t in
blows through the pipe TO make the bot
tie hollow, and then the mold is opened
and the bottle is taken out. A neck has
to be put on it, and the bottle has to be
baked to make it strong. There are
many boys Of only or years working
upon the bottles to smooth the tops
ready for the neck

Chances for Success In Large Cities.

Chances for Success In Large Cities.
In solving "Pro5lems Of Young Men"
Edward w. Box, In the Ladies' Home
Journal, replying 10 an inquirer, contends
that opportunities for promotion Gin
business) are more numerous in large
cities than in smaller communities, but
they are not better.
"There are more chances in the larger
cities, but likewise there are more appli-
cants for the chances. Salaries may be
higher in the centres, but so, too, is the
cost Of living. Things always equalize
themselves. To my way of thinking,
moderate business success in small COM
munity means more to a man in point OF
living and absolute satisfaction, than
greater success in larger CITY,"

Electric Bitters is the medicine

more generally needed when the
languid, exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of tonic and altera-

medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious ievers. No
