Melba's Excuse For Being Late.

When Nine. Melba went to the
Grand Opera House the other night,
not as performer but as a listner.
there was slight delay about her ar
rival. She did not reach her box in
time for the opening bars of 81 Pa
gl1acci," and everybody wondered.
But the great songstress was ar
ranging happy event for bedrag-
gled young girl who had blocked her
entrance to the Opera House. Just
as she alighted at the canvas awning
she caught sight of the upturned face
OF girl standing in the pouring rain
waiting for glimpse of her. She
was only poor factory girl, who lived
somewhere in the questionable
neighborhood of the Grand Opera
House. Even for her class she was
not very we'll dressed, nor very we'll
bred; but she had the divine love of
music in her heart and in her eyes,
and Melba caught the gratifying light
of true hero worship.
The great singer did not ask the
management to pass in this stray ad-
mirer, as she might have done, and so
have gained for the girl an uncom-
Portable hour in the back row of the
well-dressed orchestra chairs. She
had too much consideration, even for
such lowly guest.
With softly spoken, "Come with
me-" she led the girl up to the box
window of the gallery, and procured
her seat, for which she herself paid
with two big silver dollars. Then
Melba quickly sought her own pro-
scenium box, from corner OF which
she smiled softly to herself several
times during some of Chalia's best
songs, as she recalled the look she
had brought to the eyes of her damp
and bedraggled protege.-San Fran.

If you are artistically inclined q
very pretty and novel way of sealing
your letters is to form flowers with
various colors of wax, thus doing
away with the old-fashioned mono
gram. Pansies are very easily formed
by first using violet wax, giving slight
curves to the outer edges, and then
white or yellow in the centre, twirling
it around few times to produce de-
cided pansy effect. Roses are easily
made by using the different shades Of
pink. IF the seal is brought to a
thin, sharp stem when finishing the
effect will be greatly heightened.

Sachets of lavender and of violet
powder are popular to lay in drawers
among clothing. Perhaps even nicer
are pieces of pumice stone saturated
with some perfume. A delicious
scent for this purpose is made of half
an ounce of whole orris root and two
ounces of spirits of wine.
Be sure that the orris root is the
real thing, and that it is fresh. Pound
and break it up into little pieces, and
let it remain in the spirit several days.
Then use it to saturate the pumice
stone, and place it among your cloth
ing. 1t will fill your room with the
delicious odor of fresh ylolets.

A German paper devoted to wood
working interests states that i'll Sc
lecting timber it is of the greatest im.
portance to ascertain whether the tree
from which it is taken was cut in the
winter or in the summer; that which
is cut in the winter being superior
and having higher value. The rea-
son for that is that trees have rest
ing period between October and May,
during which time the cells contain
starch that is not found in the sum
mer. The starch serves to close the
pores, making the wood close and
impenetrable, so that winter-hewn
timber is used exclusively for making
barrel slaves. To test the timber it is
covered with an iodide solu Jon,
which, from the well-known fact that
starch coming into contact with iodide
produces violet color, will give the
timber yellow color if it were cut in
the summer. On the other hand, a
tree hewn in the winter will have a
series of dark, ink-colorcd stripes on
q yellow ground.

DIR. Walter Fisher writes to the
Lancet from the Lovale Country,
Africa, that Professor Koch's state
ment that "the treatment of black
water fever with qninine must abso.
lutely cease" is calculated to do much
harm. After eight years OF expert
ence with African malarious fevers,
he is convinced that if quinine is not
used in severe cases, the death-rate
will increase to an enormous extent.
He never gives more than thirty
grains, however, during the first
twenty-four hours, and only gives it
when the temperature is falling or is
below 102 degrees.

Three-ffths of the worlds produc-
ton of wood alcohol and acetate OF
lime are made in the United States,
where fully $4,000 acres are cleared
for the purpose annually. The enor-
nous demand for wood alcohol is ac-
counted for by the fact that it affords
a perfect substitute for grain alcohol,
at less than one-third the cost. Be-
sides its use as solvent in the max
ing of shellac, varnish. ce,luloid,
Photographic paper, ETC., it makes
many beautiful dye tints. From its
antiseptic qualities it is also much in
request in surgery and medicine. 1t
enters largely into the composition of
some liniments, and it is the favorite
form of alcohol used for skin rubbing
and lighthouses.

Improvement of the gas engine
seems to offer promising field for
some inventor. The exhaust gases in
the average engine are heated to
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit, and a
technical authority calculates that a
reduction of this to 800 degrees, with
the same initial temperature, would
increase the theoretical efficiency
from tifty-three to seventy-six per-
cent. External refrigeration is
though to be q necessary evil. III
present practice, the losses by radia-
tion and conduction are about sixty
five per cent, and only about seven
teen per cent of the total heat of COM
bustion is converted into available
power, and an almost equal percentage
passes uselessly away with the ex-
haust gases.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Otis REQUEST for More Volunteers In
Philippines to be Granted.

Washington, D. c., June 23.-The
report that President Mckinley is
soon to call for enough volunteers
to form ten, or possibly twelve, reg
iments for service in the Philippines,
seems to be confirmed. This, with
some 5000 recruits for regiments
already in the Philippines, would
increase Gen Otis force to nearly
45, 900 men.
There is greatly increased activi-
ty in the war department ,reputedly
caused by preparations for the en-
listment of the new force. While
it is thought Gen. Otis task of sub
DUNG the natives will be considera-
bly, lessened by his increased force,
there is strong opinion that other
estimates of 100000 men as neces-
sary is correct.
1t is fully expected that within
sixty days the fighting force in the
Philippines will be SO palpably in
need of doubling that even the ad-
ministration will admit the necessi-
ty and take steps to meet it. In this
connection, too, it must not be for
gotten that everything, both for
provisioning the army and the ordi
mace supplies, must be taken there
and be transported long distances.
1t would be difficult for Gen. Otis
TO provide for go, 600 Or 0,000 men,
under the present circumstances,
and an army officer who has just re-
turned from Manila says that, to
put 20, 900 or 100, 900 men in the Phil
ippines at this time would be much
more disastrous than the good ac-
complished The sickness would be
doubled and the discomfort increas-
ed in every way.

the sidewalk in front of the Tex
arkana Clothing Company's store
was blocked with people who did not
open up passage way for either
ladies or gentlemen, or let them
take the street to get around. This
was all caused by a colored preach

box near the curb, and who was la
boring to let the people know that
he was a minister of the gospel and
knew how to preach. We think the
corners of our streets are no proper

using them as such should be

fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive Of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for 80 long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Cstarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
For years suffered from q severe
ease Of Catarrh, and took several kinds
OF medicines and used various local ap-
plications, but they had no effect what
