some of them heard him in Paris, in
Berlin and at Vienna, where he kept
up the brilliancy of the Wagnerian
performances. Mr.. Grau's company at
the Metropolitan contains no less
than four American singers, Emma
Eames, Zelie de Lussan, Suzanne
Adams and Fanchon Thompson. Miss
Adams comes from Paris and Lon
don, but her home is in Cambridge,
Mass. Thence she was sent to study
singing in Paris with Jacques Bouhy,
sometime teacher in New York. Miss
Adams effected her debut at the
Grand Opera house in 1894 as Juliet
IN Gounod's opera. She remained
member of the institution three
years, singing such roles as Gilda

perience in Nice she Joined Mr..

Romeo and Juliet, Faust, Carmen

HOMEMADE BEST.

Every hsir is sleek and neat;
Che~hs as!ow and head held high,

Go ore. gloves perfect shade
She's the typical tailor maid"
Up at morning with the sun,
By breakfast time her duties done;
On the links she plays with zest,
Rides, wheels and dances with the bese.
In for everything, she's not staid-
She's the typical ready maid"
Hours there are that those who know
Say she sweeter graces show,
When she puts aside the whirl
And becomes just mothers girl;
This the picture that does not fade,
She wing her best when she's plain
home made.

CAMP LIFE.

Singing ballads, playing cards,
rating sidemeats, running guards;
Marching, drilling, exercising,
Lying round phllosophizirg
Digging bitches, learning tactics,
Standing guard until your back aches;
Doing laundry, picking trash up;
Cleaning camp and dishing hash up;
Cooking pork and taking baths,
Eating bareback, cleaning paths;
Getting yellow as a lanyard,
wondering when we'll meet the Span
lard;
Getting letters from our folks,
Snoozing, boozing, cracking jokes;
Thinking of the tolksif not them,
Then of sweethearts- who've
got them;
Reading papers, reading books;
Fasting, grumbling, ''cussing'' cooks;
Writing letters, cleaning tents up,
In our trousers sewing rents up;
Stewing, growing, fretting, fussing,
Kicking, bowling, working, "cussing;;
Drilling like old-time cadets,
Smoking pipes and cigarettes;
Telling stories, making wishes,
Splitting wood and washing dishes;
Turning in at sound of taps"
Spouting verse and shooting craps;
Wanting fight with SPANS CON
ceitos,
Getting it with big mosquitoes;
Taking quinine, sick or we'll,
Castor oil or calomel;
Running out to see the dummies"
Calling one another "rummies;"
Getting up at S o'clock
Wanting fight and hearing talk;
Thinking we are not in clover,
Wondering when the war'll be over.

THE BIRTH OF THE STEEL SHIP

When it could be demonstrated that,
although it might be more costly, the
steel vessel was mucn safer and bet
ter vessel, and that it had a larger
carrying-capacity on the same dis
placement, and therefore a larger
earning power, then, slowly but sure
ly, conviction entered the minds of the
ship-oWners, and the steel-makers
victory was in sight. 1t was arduous
work, but it extended over only a few
years. When one famous line after
another-the Union Steamship Com
pany, of New Zealand, the Pacific
Company, the Allan Company, the
Castle Company, the British India
Company, the P. & o. Company, the
Cunard Company, in the sequence here
given and in the course of the years
1878 and 1879-ordered vessels of the
new material an influence was
brought to bear which proved ire
sistible. It began to be realized that,
if business connections were to be
retained, ana ii work was to be carried
on economically, vessels of the new
material must be obtained.-James
Riley in Engineering Magazine.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an intiamed
condition Of the mucous lining OF
the EuStachian tube. When this
tube is iDtlAmed YOU have a
rum bling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
TO it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing bat an
intlamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.

How Shall They Be Received (!

1t seems settled that the Ocala
Rifles, Company a, 1st Florida
regiment of volunteers, will be
home in a few days, probably
Monday or Tuesday. The ques-
ton naturally arises, what kind
of a reception will the people of
Ocala tender them. 1t should be
cordial in the highest degree. In
carrying out short program, it
should adequately convey the
high sense of appreciation we en-
terrain for our noble soldier boys,
who are the pick and flower OF
our youth and young men. Sure
~ we can not think Of any recep-
ton less than a public one, and
let us make it an occasion worthy
of the esteem and respect we en-
terrain for our brave, heroic and
patriotic youth.
