Sbarbaro. president of the Manufacturers
and Producers Association. in the interest
of home products and manufactures.
Mr.. Patrizi's mission is to bring Italy
and California into closer business rela-
tions, and with this end in view he will
introduce to his countrymen sugar OF
home manufacture. hides, talloW, cereals,
olea seeds and canned fruits. He will also
satisfy Milans curiosity as TO the Sabin
telephone system in vogue in this State
and said to be the most perfect in prac-
teal use.
From Italy Mr.. Patrizi will arrange for
the direct Importation of silk common
glass bottles and asbestos Heretofore all
the Italian silk that has reached the Cali
fornia market has come by way OF
France a process of migration that great
ly increases the price of the article before
it finally reaches this coast. Glass bottles
are at present being imported from Ant
werp and Mr.. PatriZi claims that Italian
bottles may be secured at much lower
rates. AS to the asbestos, Italy has the
greatest asbestos mine in the world and
is extensively using the product in the
manufacture of window shades, electric
wires, etc.
Mr. Patrizi's impresario venture is one
that promises to bring joy to all musical
lovers. Negotiations are to be entered
into at once with MaScagni, Leoncovallo,
Puccini and Umberto Giordane for the
production here, at Morosco's Grand
Opera-hous of their latest compositions
PatriZi will bring the artists from Italy
and also Inc orchestra leader, but the
chorus and orchestra will be made up en-
tirely from home talent. 1t Is proposed
to produce Mascagnis 'l'Amico Fritz, ,"
"Rantzau" and his very latest Japanese
opera, Iris" none of which productions
has ever been heard here.
"Mr. Patrizi hopes to make the feature
of his repertoire the oratorios of Antonio
Perosi, the young Italian priest.
Morosco and Patrizi hope. to open their
season of grand opera early in the new
year Although their plans are neces-
sarily as yet immature, this much has
been decided-the productions are to be
the latest, the artists the best and the
prices moderate.

"All rights responded Phil bitterly;
and went back and drove Hiram out of
the cutter, secured all the ropes, and made
him join Myrtle under the highback Then
the brave fellow crawled in himself, and
let the box sleigh settle down about them.
In a few minutes they were buried by
the driving snow.
I'VE must get Myrtle between us" said
Phil. "She will be warmer there. If this
old blizzard doesn't last too long some
body viii be along to dig us out to-mor-
row.
Ban yielded the warmer position to the
girl with a very i'll grace. The common
metal underneath the gilt was showing
very plainly. Myrtle turned her back up
on him completely. She and Phil spoke
together only in whispers.
Dear Phil, she said I'VE should have
died had you not come''
"Humphl The old highback is good for
something at a pinch" remarked Phil,
with pardonable righteousness.
And old friends prove the most faithful
in the end" whispered the doctors daugh-
ter.
Phil simply grunted. But when, a mo-
ment fater, he found she was softly CRYING.
with her nose buried in the collar of his
bearskin coat, he threw injured pride to
the winds, and just put his arms around
her. What he said and what she said
after that was none of Hiram Balls BUSH
ness! nor is it any of yours, inquisitive
reader.
In the morning, when the storm had
ceased, a searching party discovered the
horses in little grove off the trail where
they had taken shelter and soon afterward
found the overturned sleigh, and the three
castaways all warm and secure Hiram
Bail left his useless cutter where it lay.
but Phll dug out the old highback and
drove Myrtle home in it, and when the
sleighing was good the next winter he
brought the doctors daughter to singing
school as his wife.

Rudyard KipIing.
From the Chicago Record

FROM Inc chicago Record.
There is something phenomenal in the
sudden popularity of Rudyard Kipling as
writer. Only Byron and Dickens In our
century have achieved an equally early
and marked success. To what is that sue
cess due? In some degree, doubtless, to the
freshness of his theme. He has unveiled
India.
Many learned men had written valuable
books on the races, the religions and the
languages of India. Conscientious plod-
ding government officials with reputation
for thoroughness and good Judgment TO
sustain had compiled statistics traced gem
ealogies and accumulated all sorts of geo
graphical and historical data. Missionaries
mad written pious books on the vices and
supersutions of the natives and had sue
ceeded in fixing the words "Juggernaut'
and "Ganges" in the common vocabulary
Phiiologists had directed the attention of
scholars TO Sanskrit. Bat that was all on
the whole, to the reading public India
was an unknown land. The learned books
OF the historian, the missionary and the
phlologist, were not read. They were in
structive, but they were dry. Their writer's
had been too busy, too studious and too
earnest.
At length a youth grows up in India
without the restraints of official dignity
His parents are cultivated, well-to-do peo-
PIC anu ne mas access TO the pest society.
He has quick eye, a daring temper and
genius for expression. Straightway the
task which had seemed impossible becomes
easy. The fit man had come and India is
revealed as by enchantment in a magic
mirror. He seems omniscient. He goes
everywhere. He reads every motive, ne
penetrates every secret. he understands
every idiosyncrasy, he is at home with men
of every class. He interprets native and
European with equal ease. They are all
equally distinct in his magical panorama
the Brahman and the pariah, Mohamme-
dan and Parsee, the rajah and the coolie,
