111O street. Those who we're ct the last
concert reaIZe how great privilege It 10
TO music lovers that these concerts have
this year for the first time been open to the
public. The program consists of the quar-
tet by Beethoven, op. 50, No. 3, the last of
the set known as the "Rasoumofsky'
uuartats from the Russian ambassador, to
whom they were dedicated the variations
by Haydn on the Austrian national hymn
and the quartet by Suietana, POLITICALLY en-
titled "Aus meinem- Leben." In it this
original Bohemian genius endeavors to de-
with musical utteancss at inevitably ap-
rroaching deafness .sfhis composer was
the first of the nRaional Bohemian school,
the first to reveal TO the foreign public the
wealth of native EntHcal material which
lay concealed in tho fnik song of Bohemia.
His work. but little appreciated in his life
time was exploited bt,his still more gifted
fellow-countrymaDs Dworak. and the same
field was more fuilT developed by him. As
one Of the same: composers orchestral
works is given at' the orchestral concert
Tuesday afternoon. 1t Is plain that his
memory is to be hDnured In a far-of coun-
try and among IN unrelated people. AS
two members Of the quartet are themselves
of Slav blood, 1t is evident that all the
national characteristics OF this music will
be rendered in thefDf true spirit. Tickets
are on sale at Droep g and at the door.

Life of a Fire Engine.

The life of fire engine in New York
city in its first use is ten years. 1t is
then rebuilt and is good, either in
regular service or as a reserve engine,
for ten years more. After twenty years
of service the old engine is sold at
auction.
1t may be bought by another city or
town for use as a fire engine, but this
happens very rarely. The engines are
heavy, and they must be drawn by
horses, so they are not adapted for use
in smaller cities. The old engine is
oftener bought by contractor, for
use, for instance, in pumping out cell
lars. In such service steam pres
sure of fifty pounds might be ample for
the work, while in fire service a pres
sure of $50 pounds might be required.
In such work as this the old engine
might last three or four years more.
Sometimes the discarded Fire Dep
partment engine is bought by a junk
dealer, who breaks it up for the metals
it contains, and this is what they all
come to at last

Very Tall Kneeling.

One of the officers of the Civil War
had a private in his company whom
the boys jestingly named Little
Mack" because of his bigness. He
was the tallest man in the company,
about six feet three inches, and one
OF the bravest in the regiment.
On one occasion, when the men were
ordered to kneel down behind a stone
fence in preparation for an expected
assault, the officer, who was preparing
surprise for the. enemy, on inspecting
the line was astonished to see one
large, serene face above the top of the
fence. He shouted out angrily: There,
you-you man with the head up-kneel
down, sir" The man did not move,
and again the officer Numbered: why
don't you kneel Gown, sir?"
Oblivious to any danger and blind
to the significance of his head being
exposed, Little Mack answered: 81
am kneeling down." Then shouted
the officer. put your head down, or
you will have it shot off, confound
you" Thereupon Little Mack curled
down behind the fence, srieving be-
cause the captain had howled at him.

A welcome to a Monarch.

Three men were discussing the pro-
priety. of the call made by President
Mckinley upon President Dole. The
discussion brought out this story:
Il think old Harvey D. Colvin knew
how to do things when it came to en-
tertaining folks from abroad, especial
ly hand-me-down kings" said one of
the two. HE was Mayor of Chicago
when Kalakaua passed over the coun-
try in search of a loan. ColVin was
rough and ready, and wore a shirt
with a rufae front and a diamond in
the middle, which always made me
think Of barkeeper on his day off .
When the King and his suite arrived
in Chicago, Colvin and his staff were
at the station, and the Mayor took the
King by his hand as warmly as if the
King had been ward politician. The
Pacific Hotel. Clark street was jam
med with people c1amoring for the
King to come out. The hour was early
in the day. At the request of Mayor
Colvin, Kalakaua stepped out on the
yeranda, and bowed. The popu1ace,
unused to sights of kings in flesh, yell
ed. Mayor Colvin waved his hand and
shouted:
His Majesty, the King of the Sand
witch Islands,
THE populace yelled, laughed, and
hooted. Then the Mayor, remember
ing the early hour, turned to his royal
guest and said:
Well, King, you must be tired.
Better go and wash up and then we'll
have breakfast.

NoIsELEss TELEGRAPHY.
A Receive That Can BE Made to
Whisper softly.

A ReEeivew That Can he Made to
Whisper softly.
The Introduction of typewriter ma
chimes in telegraph Offices, on which
operators take down the messages re-
ceived, has necess.tated increasing the
volume of sound emanating from the
saunders in order to make their clicks
clearly distinguishable above the click
OF the typewriter machine. The result
has been that the noise in telegraph Of
fees has in many cases increased to
such an extent as to be serious men
ace to the health of the operators.
In order to reduce this noise and to
make the received message entirely
secret a special sounder has been in
vented. The sounder, which is in
closed in hard. rubber case, is very
light, the whole thing, with conducting
cord complete, weighing but four
ounces. 1t can be used not only with
out the slightest inconvenience to the
operator, but much to his comfort and
advantage, relieving him of all I'M
necessary nerve and physical strain. 1t
can be attached directly to the main
line, where it acts as combined relay
and sOunder, giving all the service of
both, without any of the disadvantages
and annoyances of a main line sounder.
The mechanism of this little instru-
ment is very simple, consisting of set
of electromagnetic of from to $50
ohms resistance according to require
ments). An ingenious arrangement of
the aFmature and lever brings the
former in actual contact with the poles
of the magnets in such manner as to
double the working force of the arma-
ture. The armature lever is provided
with hammers, which, in action, strike
upon resonating plate; shifter or
switch at the side of the case draws the
hammers from the plate and reduces
the sound to a minimum.
Owing to the loudness of the sound
when the hammers strike upon the re-
sonating plate messages may be re-
ceiyed with the sounder placed on the
table or desk, and in this way it may
also be used for call, thus combining
in one instrument both a loud and
secret sounder. Should it be desired
to take a secret message the sounder
is adjusted from the outside by means
of the shifter referred to, which is
graded so that the operator may regu-
late the volume of sound to suit his
own ear. This may be from the faint
est click to the full volume of the loud
est sounder. The instrument is then
worn on the head. The case and head
band being made of hard rubber in
sures the operator from shock from
abnormal currents passing through the
line.

HAWAII A TRAMP PARADISE.
Native Trees, which Can Furnish
Food. shelter and Drink.

Food, Shelter and Drink.
Since the recent agitation of the Ha-
waiian question in this country Fred.
T W. Job, the Hawaiian Consul in Chi
cago, has had innumerable questions
asked him and plans proposed. He
was in his Office the other day when a
man came in who looked a little the
worse for the lack of ready money
The man piled the consul with queries.
First, he wanted to know about the
bread tree.
"There is such a thing" said Mr.. Job
''and it is common in Hawaii. The
tree bears pithy fruit that is pleasant
to the taste and is very nutritious. 1t
somewhat resembles light bread
The visitor then said he had heard
of tree called the travellers tree there
in the country. To this the consul al
so assented He said the leaves on
this tree grew a great deal as on a
palm, and that the hollow between the
leaf and the trunk was filled with wa
ter, sometimes as much as half gall
Ion. The banana tree was the next
topic, and when the stranger learned
that they also grew on the islands he
heaved sigh of relief
We'll, he said Il can get an army
that will beat Coxey's. I'm going to
get a gang of my friends and we are
to emigrate to Hawaii. Then we are
to transplant some of these trees till
we have one of each near together
then We will hang a hammock and
there we will stay. Nature will fur
nish our food and the climate is such
there that we will need but few clothes,
and what we take with us will last
almost indefinitely, and if we do nc
moving about we will not wear them
out
Mr.. Job admitted that the man had
an inventive mind, but said that his
plan was hardly feasible, though il
might be carried out to certain ex-
tent.

A Horse Club.

What's a horse club?" asked the
man in the silk hat.
Didn't you ever hear of one?" re-
sponded the man doing the bulk of the
talking.
81 think not. Go ahead and tell
us"
well, you know it costs more than
a good many people want to spend to
keep horse and vehicle, whatever
kind it may be. Indeed, in the cities
| it is quite beyond the means of most.
In the smaller towns of the country
it is more nearly possible, for horse
may be boarded at any country livery
stable for $40 month, and sometimes
even less if done by the year. But
even in such favorable circumstances
there are many people who don't like
| to own a horse and board him at a
stable, where he may be badly treated
or he may get sick and die, or keep
him at home, where he is liable to be
worse treated than in livery stable.
That being the case, l know of a
| liveryman in one of the towns | visit,
place of six thousand inhabitants,
who is enterprising enough to make
/ the effort to meet the wants of that
kind of people. This man went around
among his acquaintance until he
found twenty-five who were willing to
pay him $40 a month each for the use
of horse just what they would pay
for the board of one if they owned it.
But they did not want livery horses,
so he agreed to give each patron the
to any other person. Then he began
buying UP secondhand buggies and
| phaetons and good, serviceable horses,
until he had $1,000 invested in the
private livery plant, as he called it.
He had to hire only one extra hand,
and he had room in plenty; so the adj
ditional expense, beyond feed, was not
much He had been running his
plant a year When saw him, and he
told me that the entire expense was
$3.50 a month, and that he took in
$3.50 cash every month, leaving him a
net profit on his $500 investment of
$1,000 a year, and every member of
the horse club was SO pleased that he
had booked for another year, and there
were dozen applicants for member
ship.
'sOf course he lost something by
putting some of his good customers
into the club, but he got them for a
year that way and he was willing
to lose one So drive to pick up forty
5O-cent ones. Now" concluded the
drummer, that you have learned what
horse club is, perhaps you might
suggest it to your friends in the
country and let them try it once"

Scientific Farming.

An agricultural editor of Chicago
made trip into southern California
where he confidently expected to aston
ish the natives with his superior knowl-
edge of scientific and successful farm
ing. He had stretched things consider
ably one evening with view to max

the old residents, who spoke slowly and
had squirt in his right eye, took
charge of the conversation.
