GRAU's cHECKERBoARD.
Intricate Operations I'm Making Up
Grand Opera Cnsts.

Gustav Kobbe, in Ainslees Magazine.
A prima donna will have. for instance. q
guarantee that he will give her forty per-
formances In four months. OF ten PERFORM
ances a month. at thousand dollars a per-
Torrance. This means that he must
range for her 10 appear exactly ten times
twelve or fifteen performances into one
month for her, and then let her sing cor
respondingly fewer number OF times during
the remaining months For every perform
ance above the guaranteed ten which she
gives during a month she receives an extra
thousand dollars. with the privilege OF ap-
pearing her regular ten times during the
next month. IL. however. the impresario
should fail to arrange for her to sing more
than eight times during a month, he would
nevertheless still be Obliged 10 pay her fer
ten performances For this reason. uniesE
her guarantees are carefully observed by
the manager when he Is making out the
repertoire. every mistake he makes with
regard TO this particular prima donna costs
him a thousand dollars. There are two
singers in this seasons Metropolitan Opera
House company, mistake with whom
would cost the impresario N.7O0. IL Is no
wonder. therefore. that Mr.. Grau makes
out weeks repertoire with sort OF
checkerboard before him divided into
squares for each performance here and cut
of town. and with slips OF paper containing
the names OF the singers for pawns, while,
before him. for the rules Of the games he
has abstract of his various contracts
showing what each singer has been guar
anteed as regards roles and number OF per-
formances.
Even after all this work has been gone
through with there is still the QUESTION.
''Win this repertoire stand?" Mr.. Grau
has such dread OF physicians certificates
coming in at the last moment that he does
not feel safe until from his seat I'm the par
quet he sees the curtain rise IL Is bad
enough 20 have 10 change prfma donnas at
the last moment. although that Is n matter
that can generally be arranged over the
telephone. But when several nrincipai
singers I'm a cast have become indisposed
and IL Is found necessary TO change the
opera. then quick work is required. Half
dozen messengers are sent scurrying I'm all
directions The manager may have sn0ught
of putting on "Lohengrin. He must be
sure OF an Elsa. Therefore. messenger Is
sent TO each OF the prima donnas who have
this role I'm their repertoire. Neither OF
them may be able TO sing. and so. although
the hour is late. another opera may have 20
be substituted lor "Lonengrin." As many
as four changes I'm the opera for the night
may have been made I'm an afternoon. and
at times IL has beer only by a hairs
breadth that the house has not remained
dark.

WATER FOR ANIMALS.
Unless 1t Is Absolutely Pure Disease
Is Sure to Invade the Herd
or Flock.

We feel that we cannS. mention this
subject too often c. write too strong
ly on it, says the American Cultivator.
The pond of stangnant water or the
sluggish brook draining from
swamp full of decaying vegetable mat
ter or even decomposing animals, or
the more rapid stream which receives
the wash of the hillsides where fer
tilizer is spread or the cattle are pas
tured, is not clean enough at its best
for either man or beast, but it is
often much worse than appears from
the above description. 1t may be con-
taminated by disease from animals
that have access to it. The hog chol-
era has been known to follow the
course of a stream downward from
the field where it first appeared to
infect every herd for miles below
that had access to it and through
them to other herds near by. The
contamination of water by horses
that have the glanders is well known,
and there is little doubt but that
tuberculosis germs may be conveyed
in the same way. 1t is also known
that fever germs are thus carried in
the water supply to the human race,
and it is claimed that they may be
taken up by the COW and transmit
ted in her milk possibly without seri-
ously affecting the health of the ami
NAL through which they pass. A
deep-driven well or pure spring to
which no animals can go, with the
water conveyed by pipes to trough
which has an overflow at the top to
carry off such impurities, usually
lighter than the water, are the best
safeguards, and even then the trough
should be occasionally emptied and
| cleaned out.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE.
IL Will Thrive and Produce Album
dainty on Soils TOO Poor for
Many other Crops.

The Jerusalem artichoke (Helian-
thus tuberosus) is a yellow-fowercd
perennial plant, reaching a height of
eight to ten feet and closely resem-
bling a wild sunflower. One writer
says that the term Jerusalem, as ap-
piled to this plant, is corruption of
the Italian name for the sunfiower-
rasole-and the name artichoke was
applied to it because of the similarity
of flavor OF the tubers to that of the
true artichoke known as the globe or
French artichoke (Cynara Scolymus),
which is thistle-like plant in no way
resembling the Jerusalem artichoke.
Of the globe artichoke the flower buds
are the edible portion, while the Jeru-
salem artichoke is grown almost ex-
slusively for the underground tubers

Tale Care OF the Machinery.

Where is the farm machinery that
will not be used until next season? II
you have more machinery than stor-
age room, see if some plan cannot be
made whereby neighbor who has
plenty of barn or shed room can let
you have room for storingit. Do some-
thing. Don't let the storms, sun and
wind destroy such property; you SIM
ply can't afford it. 1t is such neglect
that leads farmers to declare that
farming doesn't pay. 1t was a pleasure
recently to hear farmer, whose tool
house is in good order, tell how long n
hoe handle had been used. His farm
everywhere shows the same thrift. A
neglected pile of farm machinery al
ways tells it's own story and likewise
that of its owner.--Rural World.

NESSELRODE PUDDING.
1t Is One of the Most Delicious of Des-
sertx and should BE Prepared
~ with Great Care.

We understand the making of ice
creams, but we do not yet understand
the preparation of iced puddings.
These puddinss differ from an ice
cream as much as simple thickened
porridge does from an elaborate
boiled pudding of many ingredients.
They contain many materials, while
am ice cream is made of sweetened
favored cream with the simple addi-
tion of eggs or some other thiclken-
ing
One of the most delicious of all iced
puddings is the Nesselrode pudding,
which takes its name from Count
Nesselorde, famous gourmet of the
beginning of the century. This pad
ding owes its excellence to its use of
chestnuts. Forty chestnuts, boiled,
skinned and banched are used. The
large Spanish or. Italian chestnut is
the one to be used. One of these is
equal to four of the largest Amer
lean chestnuts. Rub the chestnut
through a sieve. Equal parts of wal
nuts and blanched almonds chopped
and pounded to a paste may be sub
stituted for the same amount of
chestnut puree, which is about a
pint. 9. Beat the yolks of four eggs
with Two cups of sugar, and pour in a
pint of boiling milk. Beat well. Add
quart of cream which has been
boiled and cooled. Add the nuts and a
teaspoonful of salt. Add about a
quarfer of a pound of candied cher
ries and about two tablespoonfuls
each of stoned raisins and of cur
rants which have been soaked in the
pint of milk while it was heating to
the boiling point. Freeze the pud-
ding and serve it by itself or with
sauce of whipped cream, sweetened
