A Poets Musical Rhapsody.

I've just come from the Tempest"
at the Grand opera house, cor
ner Twenty third street and Eighth
avenue, newly built; and my heart has
been so full that although
they're about to shut off lights, must
scratch you a line, to carry my last
thought to you before 1 sleep. In one
interlude between the scenes we had a
violin solo, Adagio, with soft accom-
paniment by orchestra. AS the fair,
tender notes came, they opened,
like fiower-buds expanding into flow
ers under the sweet rain of the ac-
compartment: kind heaven My head
fell on the seat in front, l was ut
terly weighed down with great loves
and great ideas and divine in-fowing
and devout out-fiowings, and as each
note grew and budded and opened, and
became a bud again and died into a
fresh birth in the next budnote, l also
lived these flower tone lines, and grew
and expanded and folded back and died
and was born again, and partook of
the unfathonable mysteries of flowers

PAYING OFF THE GANG.
Women Who Had an Interest in the
Money of the Workers.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t was interesting to watch the pay
ing off of the big gang of black laborers
on the U street electric railroad last
Saturday afternoon, says the Washing
ton Post. The men were paid off at the
corner of Fourteenth and u streets.
They knocked off work at a signal and
got into a long line, with their payslipS
in their hands. The wives of about
three-quarters of them were on hand
most of them with their market bas-
kets, ready to start after the Sunday
dinner, as soon as their men delivered
up the price of the same. The women
kept their eyes closely on the men, and
not one of them escaped with his wages
without a proper hold-up. In truth,
few of the men tried to get away with
out surrendering at least a portion of
their money to their wives, although
there were some funny dialogues be-
tween couples as to just the precise
amount to be given up.
"Ah wants six dolluhs," said one de-
termined looking woman to her hus-
band. 'Yo' doan git uhway from me
this-uh Saturday wifi uh hull wees

The man looked like rising to open
sedition and rebellion for a minute, but
then he probably figured that the wO-
man was talking for his good, and he
counted out the money.
Nose, ah wants uh Sailuh hat outsn
dis" said another woman to her hus-
band kin all git it ?"
"Ah amt got no money fo' no sailuh

But ah needs de hat, Nose" said
the woman, wheedlingly. Deed all do.

feminine with about the same degree of
grace as do his white brothers. 'Fust
think ah knows YOU all II be uh-want-
in up purple dress an wife shoes an

A good many of the women asked
their overlords what they wanted for
their Sunday dinners.

have the call with most of them.

SHORT LINE PARK.
A Number of Excursion Trains Took
People to the Opening.

The Oregon Short Line park was
opened yesterday for the season, and a
number of excursion trains were run
from Butte but il did not carry very
many people, probably because of the
fact that the first big day at the park
is advertised to be on the Fourth of
July, and the people who intend visit
ing the park are waiting for that day
1t is as well that the crowd there yes
terday was small, for there are conse-
quently fewer people to Criticise the
management for opening the park and
inviting people to visit the place when
1t was still half under water from the
Big Hole overflow. Hamman's lady or
chestra furnished music yesterday,
which was the only attra ction at the
park except the swarms of devouring
mosquitoes, against which the only de-
Tense was fire and smoke, or steel ar

ings have been painted, and but for the
trick of the river in overlooking at that
point, for the first time in its career,
the grounds would be very attractive.
The river however. Is falling rapidly
and in a few days the park, in that re-
spect, will be all right. A number of
good attractions have been arranged
for to appear at the park during the
season, and If the management once
gets things running all right, the park
will doubtless become a popular resort.
Many of the people who took advan-
tage of the excursion yesterday went
down on the Big Hole in the vicinity of
the Short Line park to fish, and a num-
Der of splendid strings were brought
back to Butte Other excursionists left
the train at Divide and took drives up
to the Montana Power company's mag
niffcient dam, and ito Dewey. From Di-
vide to Dewey there is one of the most
picturesque and delightful drives in the
state. The wagon road, which runs
along the Big Hole all the way, is good
and the scenery is panorama of mar
velous beauty. The Power company's
dam, with its grand and tremendous
water fall, is itself a sight worth COM
ing to see.

the police yesterday morning of the loss
of $3.50, which he had either lost or been

Profit in Thinning Fruit.

The practicability of thinning fruit
and its feasibility from commercial
standpoint have been pretty well DEM
onstrated in the last few years. In
western New York it has generally
proved profitable wherever tried. Mr..
John Craig reports, in the publications
of the (Canadian) central experimental
farm, some results in thinning peaches
and plums which corroborate the notes
given from Mr.. Beach and others. He
concludes that, when a large crop of
fruit is set, thinning peaches is highly
remunerative for the following rea-
sons: "a 1t increases the weight of the
yield. (2) 1t largely increases the size
of the fruit. (3) 1t reduces the num-
Der of matured seeds. thereby consid-
crably lessening the drain on the vital
;ty of the tree. (4) 1t renders the crop
less liable to rot. Thinning plums like
wise proved altogether worth while.

ABOUT FEEDING CALVES.
When Skim-NiIk Is Used q Food
1t Should BE SteriIized First
of All Things.

SteriiiZed skim-milk is good for
scours. Heating of the milk seems to
produce chemical changes that help to
prevent scours, and at the same time
enable the feeder 70 keep the mix in
good, sweet condition. Milk deliver
at the creamery contains la.ge NUM-
bers of Tactic acid germs. Unless these
are destroyed by sterilizing, the skim
milk will sour III a few hours. When
sterilized and cooled to the tempera-
ture of well water, skim milk may be
kept sweet from Sc to AS hours. Feed
ing sweet milk at one meal and sour at
another is very apt to cause scours
and stunt growth.
The stomach of a calf is delicate and
sensitive, and any change of feed
should be made gradually. Do not
change from whole milk to skim milk
faster than a pound a day, allowing
ten days to two weeks for the change.
Before turning on pasture in the
spring, it is better to feed a little green
feed and gradually increase the
amount until the limit of the calf is
reached; otherwise the calf may suffer
severely from scours by the sudden
change to pasture.
Several complaints have reached us
about skim milk intended for calves
souring, even when placed in tubs of
cold water as soon as received from the
creamery. Sterilized skim milk will
not sour until it is cooled to about blood
temperature. \ can of hot milk will
warm tub of water to about that tenn
perature, and as the milk is cooled at
the same time, the best conditions are
offered for the development of Tactic
acid germs. The tub of water only
helps to keep the milk at blood tenn
perature. Under such conditions the
water is worse than onthing. If hot
skim milk is cooled in a tub, it should
be done by running water. A much
better way would be to use a cooler
and then place the can of milk in a tub
of cold water in order to keep it COOL

Capturing the Philippine Music.

Grim war has its drolleries, as
the strapping Washington volunteers
proved the other day when they cap
tured the Filipino brass band of So
pieces which has been inspiring PHO
del Pillars insurgents to combat. The
most humorous aspect of the affair was
the way in which some Manila China
men promptly came forward and filed
claims against the instruments. In
their thrifty fear of losing their prop
erty they made no bones of confessing
that the instruments had been leased
to the insurgents. The Tagals are
the worst enemies of the Cinnamon. and
they know it, but they will apparently
rent out their souls for a reasonable
amount of cash in hand. But what will
the northern insurgent army do Eow
without its hin ed music? If music hath
charms to stir the savage Filipino

spoils, the capture of this oriental rival
of the Chicago orchestra may dampen
