THE RESULTS FINANCIALLY OF
THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

Mr.. E. A. Noyes, says: Concerning
the musical festival held last fall, there
was surplus over and above oil expenses
of about $4,000. Does any one consider that
an extraordinary profit to be divided be-
TWEEN two persons for the time, skill, care
and experience expended. But that Maine
musical festival last fall probably gave
Prof. Chapman $4,000 worth of reputa-
ton. Prof. Chapman does not care for
money. The feeling of pecuniary gain is
overshadowed by his interest in his
W rE. Mr.. Noyes says the Maine Sym
phony orchestra tour involved a loss Of
$500 to Messrs. Chapman and Chase be-
cause they went to other places than Port
land, Bangor and lewiston.

CURIOUS BUILDING,
Different Foods Make Different peopl

The kind of food one eats and the liz
uid one drinks has much to do in de-
termining how much Of health and
strength may be depended upon to carry
out lifes work. True, the quality of the
mind greatly affects the body, and on the
other hand the refexes from an ill-fed
body seem to affect the mind.
Well selected food is of the utmost i'm
portance to brain workers and highly Or
sanized men and women. We are apt to
cat and drink almost anything that looks
and tastes good, and afterwards wonder
why our brains do not earn as much
as some friends whom we have in mind.
Our physical systems are al tritie dis
similar, and when one finds that he is
not keeping up to par, a close inspection
of what is being put into the stomach is
wise
Many people are slowly. but very sure
ly, injured and their lives cut short by
the daily use of the narcotic drug, coffee.
Nonsense. someone says. 1t is easy to
say nonsense when one does not have ac-
cess to chemical research and scientific
data. Facts are exceedingly stubborn
things, more so than stubborn people are
aware who cry out because some favorlte
drug cannot stand in a favorable light
under the careful search of chemical
analysis.
The stubborn facts about coffee will
make themselves felt after the stubborn
ness of unfortunate users has been broken
down.
Health, longey ity, the power to do things,
and peace with the nervous system, are
the things that weigh many times more
than the indulgence in cup of coffee.
1t is easy for one to slide off from the
coffee habit, when Postum Food Coffee is
used, particularly If it be well boiled, for
then the fragrance and taste of coffee is
brought out of the Food Coffee, and it
is really delicious. Chemistry shows that
it contains about so per cent of food ele-
ments necessary for rebuilding the brain
and nerve centers.

In capacity for emotions and ability
for expressing them she has few equals.
She Is magnetic and original, almost
speaking with her eyes. Her tenderness
for the children and the maids is touch
ing, but it is not until the agony of the
confession that she shows her full force.
Nothing could be more pathetic than the
sobbing with which this act closed. Her
voice is wonderful which she changes
in q marvellous manner, notably SO in
the third act, when with hard and
metallic ring she cries "Marian," realiz-
ing that she has been cheated with false
news of Angels death. Ono will long
remember her pathetic indication OF
temporary insanity which led to Alec S
murder and the physical collapse which
followed was awful, mitigated some
what by the peace aud resignation with
which the play ends. All in all hers is
a wonderful presentation of the charac-
ter of Tess The applause which came
from very discriminating and aprreci-
alive audience was at first calm. but
later kindled into warm enthusiasm
when the curtain was called at the end
of the first scene i'll the fourth act when
Mrs. Fiske bowed her acknowledgements
four distinct times.
Tess will be repeated at the Jefferson
tonioht and it is hoped without the dc
concerting paths of heavy storm.

How to Make Luminous Paint.

Get a few good oyster shells and thor.
oughly clean them, after which insert
them into q clear fire for 20 minutes or so.
When cold, hammer them into a powder,
rejecting all parts that are not white, for
the gray portions are totally useless for
your purpose. Then put layers Of this
powder, alternating with flowers Of sui.
phur, into o cruoible and seal up the lid,
which may be done by meal of q paste
made of sand and beer. An hours bak-
ing on a good fire will follow next. When
quite cold, remove the contents Of the cru.
chile and make up into a paint with gum
water. Two or three coats of this on any
article will make such painted surface
luminous for many hours after dark, but
1t is understood that it must be exposed to
daylight previously in order that 1t may
be able to store up the phosphorescenoe
which it yields later.-Nuggets.

Hiram Powers and Young Leighton.
1t was on the advice of the American
sculptor, Hiram Powers, that as a lad
Frederick Leighton was allowed to follow
lis predilection for an art career. The
question was settled in Florence about
1916, when he was about Is years old. His
father showed a portfolio of sketches to
Powers and asked If he would recommend
him to bring him up as an artist. The
sculptor asked for a week to think the
matter over. At the end Of that time he
said, ''Mr. Leighton, your son may be as
eminent as he pleases." .'Shall I make
him an artist, thenp'' asked Mr.. Leighton.
"That is out Of your power, was the re-
ply. Mature has done 1t for you" So 1t
was agreed that young Frederick should
study to become a painter, but only on
condition that he should not neglect any
other part Of his education in consequence.

to talk unless there is q sale in prospect at

1t Is not always the native guide that IL
the best. One day at the Church of St
Peter In Romeo party Of American school,
boys were watching the crowds come and
60 when q swarthy faced man approached
and asked in the purest italian ii they
wished a guide. On the spur Of the mo-
ment one of them answered him In Greek.
The fellow gave them a keen look; then,
with a broad grin and q still broader
brogue, said:
"Arrahi Now, phwat are ye givin mep
Sure, IN I know ye are Americans, an it's
mesel' that's Pat Bannigan." And that
man could tell you more about Rome in
five minutes than a native could in q
month.
One grows careless in travelling, and
many things slip the memory, but there is
one thing that it takes months to get &C.
customed to-a Roman funeral. OF all
sights o burial procession in Italy is the
strangest. It startles a man to turn q cor
ner and to come suddenly into q gloomy
street where the yellow glare Of funeral
torches throws grotesque shadows along
the house walls. There is a quick glitter
Of oensers, a low wall from the mourners,
. measured trend of white robed, chanting
PRIESTS a smell Of incense hanging in the
hot air, and behindit all rises a great high
object in black, and along its top lies the
coffin. Flowers are piled around the dead,
and following the hearse is a crowd of
mourners, jostling ono another as they
meet in the narrow passageways. 1t is a
sight that is apt to come to q man in his
sleep, and the dreams that follow it arc
not always the most pleasant New York
Sun.
