Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you

LA Boheme," one of Puccinis most
notable works, complete in pathos as we'll
as In bits of the lightness and bravura of
the French school, was given in a man

heme" is an opera in every way appeal
ing to the musician of greater or less in

compliment to each singer at the final
curtain. No piece of late years has had
such attractions from all views thereof
as has this. Romeo and Juliet will be

The First Chinese Baby Show

The first Chinese baby show in the world has just been held here. There were 200 of them. From embroidered slipper to shaven poll they were arrayed in their best. They wore satin blouses that shone in the sun with a silyery shimmer. They wore embroideries of wonderful birds and bees and flowers never seen on land or sea. The little boys were shaven, and the little girls had their hair stiffened and polished and dressed as though for the grandest function, with little birdcages and fringes of beads and paper atop There were great tinklings of metal and much shining of green jade. A new fashion in infant headgear showed halo of stiff pompons that rose above the infants somber eyes. Others wore huge rosettes of silk on each temple. like joss, and one little girl had mane of black silk cue strings hanging down from the back of her head. Even the baby com plexions had been looked after On the smooth, yellow cheeks appeared the most lovely patch of pink rouge, put on quite frankly in the Chinese fashion. The rosebud mouths were touched up, and the narrow brows beautifully pen- Gazette

Cses For Cork.

Among the many articles made from cork waste is the familiar cork grip for bicycle handles. By 8 secret process the waste is pressed into the required shape, and, strange to say, the grips thus made are stronger and more durable than those manufactured from cork wood, although the latter gives a much smoother finish. Cork slabs for insulat- ing purposes, life preservers, cork soles and insoles and penholders are also made from cork waste. It is very large ly used for filler in the lining of cold storage and ice houses, since cork is nonconductor of heat
 Another and @ unique use of cork is that to which it is put in the interior ironworB and plates of ironclads and steamers between the bottom of the ves- sel and the second or false floor in order to prevent rust. The interior surface of the ironwork is coated with paint, and while the latter is still wet it is pow dered with cork dust in the same way that wood is sanded to resemble stone The waste sometimes takes the place of asbestus in covering steam pipes. Both cork wood and waste make a very de- sirahle handle or grip for fish poles, which IS comparatively recent idea. Cork hats and helmets, gill CT seipe corks, ring buoys and mooring buoys, cork lenders for vessels and cork caps or washers for tops of cans represent also some of the uses of this article.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

The Cure for Poverty

In the Century there is an article or
 ''The Causes of Poverty by the late
 Francis A. Walker. Gen. Walker says In conclusion: At the beginning
 warned the reader that I had no pan
 acea to offer, no single, simple, sover
 eign cure for the woes and ills of hu, manity. We must strain out of the
 blood of the race more of the taint in. herited from a bad and vicious pool before we can eliminate poverty, much more pauperism, from our social life. The scientific treatment which is ap- piled to physical disease must be ex- tended to mental and moral disease. and a wholesome surgery and cautery must be enforced by the whole power of the State for the good of all Popular edu- cation must be made more sensible, practical, and useful The housewifely arts must be taught to girls in the schools, and there the boys must learn to use hand and eye and brain in close and vital cooperation and co-ordi- nation. Yet still we shall have to await with patience the slow, sure action of time, the all-healer. The balance of social forces has definitely turned to the side of the less fortunate classes, and the course of events now runs In their favor and no longer against them. Meanwhile, let philanthropy continue Its noble work In alleviating the affiic- tions which cannot be wholly cured, and In binding together rich and poor in ties of sympathy and mutual regard.

A Negro Turning White.

A curiosity rarely witnessed in this country was seen at the office of the pension examiners in this city today. It was negro man turning white. The mans name is Sam Smith. He is 67 years old and came here today from Georgetown to stand an examination for a pension, he having served in the Union army. More than three-fourths of the mans entire body is white, the skin fairer by far than that of the or dinary white man. The dark skin re- maining on the body is only in small spots. Smith says that his skin began turning white in 1867, and the dark skin has been disappearing from the body ever since. The physicians who examined him today think that should the old man live few years longer he will be entirely white save perhaps the face. A peculiar feature of the case Is that the face has not been turning white along with the rest of the body, the white only showing at a few places be- meath the hair on the forehead, and not on the face at all.-Lexington (Ky.) Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE COLONEL'S STORY.
How Jim Adkins Went to War, Got Buriet
 and Was Resurrected.

l How Jim Adkins Went to War, Got Buried and Was Resurrected.
 Talking about war times" said the old colonel, "did any of you ever hear the story of Jim Adkins?"
 "No."
 "Well, I'm surprised. Everybody ia tho settlement knew it. Jim was a no count sort of fellow, and the old man was anxious to get rid of him, so when the war broke out and they were look ing around for men the old man gave him away"
 "Gave him away?'
 "Yes. Jim was in the hayloft, and they were about to leave without him when the old man winked and pointed to the barn.
 "That was enough, and they got him and marched him to the front.
 "The old man was sorry after Jim was gone and his conscience hurt him bad. But he hoped for the best, until one day he got message that told him Jim had been killed and buried on the battlefield.
 "Then he packed his grip and started right of to bring Jim's body home, if possible, fcr the grief stricken mother would have nothing else and made life miserable for him with her reproaches
 "He went to Virginia, and was there informed that it would be impossible to remove the body. So he stood over the spot where it was buried and wept for three days. Then he went sadly home.
 "And, To and behold, the first man he met as he neared bis gate was Jim safe, sound and right side up with carel
 ''It was some time before the old man could say 6 word, but when he found it was really Jim-in flesh and blood-that they had got Jim mixed up with some other Adkins, and he hadn't { been killed at all, the old man was hot He slowly divested himself of his coat, then rolled up his sleeves and made for him It was the liveliest scrap you ever saw-the old man on top, and the two of lem wallowing in the dust
 "It took the old lady and the three girls and two stout darkies to pull the old man of.
 He never did explain why he did it, and Jim didn't ask any questions, but the next morning he told his nothc- that while his furlough wasn't out still he knew his country needed him and he couldn't stand to stay at home under those circumstances, so he left his blessing for the old man and took the first train for the front.

" HE civil war had been over just
 ten years when Glory Price was x horn

porn.
 They called her Glory because, when her soldier father had, with awkward tenderness, first taken the warm little bundle into his one arm, he had glanced up at the bullet-riddled flag that al- ways hung above the family mantel and said softly: Margaret, I nearly gave my life for old glory and you all but gave yours for baby; suppose we call her little GloryP" and the gentle mother had answered: "All right, John; she shall be our little Glory"
 The neighbors had said it was a silly sort of name; that Harriet or Susan or even a fancy name like Rose would have gone beautifully with Price; but they for their parts never knew a child with such fool name to come to any good, and they one and all hoped that she would be true to her name and not come to an inglorious end; but 1t was plainly evident they did not look for any such a miracle and would be al- most disappointed if the united pre- diction of the neighborhood should prove untrue.
 Notwithstanding the shadow of her name little Glory thrived and grew so sweet and winsome that even passing strangers would stop to pat the crown of golden curls and gaze into the per feet face.

Without word, he picked up the cap, hung it on the proper peg. and promptly went back to school. The father also strictly enforced the rule, "A place for everything, and everything in its place." A pitchfork, in common use for foddering the cattle, was always to be kept standing in a certain corner of the barn, where he could lay his hand on il in the night without lantern.

 "Be a true soldiers daughter" her father would reply; ''for some day the union may need strong men and brave women again, you know"
 The years came and went, bringing with them a rare and perfect woman hood for the old soldiers daughter. She was still Glory Price, for to one after another she had said "No," scarcely realizing that her heart was afloat with one who was serving under the old flag, until she read that the bat tleship Maine-Jim's ship-had been or dered to Havana harbor to protect American interests there. Unshed tears trembled in the blue eyes at the thought that perhaps she should not see him again, and, startled at what she read in her own heart, Glory flung herself upon her little white bed in an agony of tears.
 But Jim did come, just to say good by, and, as he strode up to the old Price homestead, Glory thought him the handsomest and bravest looking man she ever saw.
 Before he left he had won her prom ise to be his bride upon his return. and, laughing at her fears, assured her that sending the ship was only a precaution- ary measure, and his absence would not be long.
