RICE'S GRAND OPERA
Last Nights Entertainment a Very
 Pleasing One.

withstanding it was muddy and rather unpleasant evening to be out. the Doris theate- was we'll filled last night to greet the first performance of Rice's Grand Opera company. The entertainment proved to be all that the advance notices claimed for 1t. and it was pleasing in it's unique character. "Margery," the curtain-raiser, is not exactly a recent discovery, but it is an interesting little farce, and the tal- ented ladies and gentlemen that sus- tained the various parts gave it new coloring and added interest.
 The three leading artists, Mme. Doria, Signor Wanren and Chev. Pietro Buzzi. who fulfill the promise of the company's name in their grand opera selections, were not only well, but en- thusiastically received, and each was encored till nothing but bows of ack- nowledgment could be secured. They are not the only good singers in the world. but they are some of them, and their programme is a novelty here that last nights audience indicates is highly appreciated.
 At the same time there were many present who cared less for grand opera than for something amusing and live ly. Such were highly entertained by Walton, who is not only a musical wonder. but a comedian of rare at tainrrents. He knows how to say funny things, say them in genteel sort of a way, and in the musIcal line he is ready to do a turn with almost any kind of instrument If he hasn't the instrument he wants at hand he will initiate it's tones on whatever he can find that will maks sounds.
 ''Ione," the symphony in color, is just what the audience expected. The combination of light. colors and female beauty is all that could be desired.
 The finale was both a recitative and musical trio from Verdfs opera ''Ernani," and the characters. of course. were the three musical stars of the company. The solo work of each was excellent and the chorus of basso soprano and tenor filled the theater with harmonious sound. The company will give another performance tonight.

A PARCHED MOUTH.
An InfaIlibIe Sign Tint VIII Betrn,
an Anxious or Worried
Condition..

1t is not alone he hot weather or
hard work that makes your mouth
dry; anxiety, serious trouble gener-
ally, will parch your mouth and
throat more quickly and effectively
than anything else.
There are persons who will not be-
tray in the least degree, by their
looks and general demeanor, that
they are worried. Many criminals,
for instance, appear as cool as Gu
cumbers, although they are inward
Iy much perturbed; but TO an at
teutiye observer the state of their
minds is made clear by the parched
mouth.
You may take il for granted that
a person who is prey to deep ankle
~ will show signs of difficulty in
speaking; that is because his mouth
and throat are dried; and you will
see that he rolls his tongue about
in order TO moisten it. He must be
a very cool individual who can pre-
vent that sign of anxiety.

LAWFUL ENTERPRISE.
Sly Dodge of n Corporation Agent for
Getting in the Lowest bid on
Contract Work.

Apropos of the methods employed in
the franchise grab in Pennsylvania,
Sidney W. Curtis, a New York broker,
told a story recently, according to the
New York Times. of scheme worked
in one of the western cities in the
early SOS for the purpose of giving
the contracts for the building of city
waterworks to favored concern All
the bids had to be submitted before
12 o'clock noon, when the city comp
troller's Office was closed and the rep
resentatives of the various bidders
were locked out.
A little alley led to a rear window
of the office, and here appeared the
agent of the company that was to get
the contract by hook or by crook. He
had his bids all made out except the
figures. When the bids had been
opened and the lowest bid had been
found he received signal and filed
out his bid few cents below that of
the lowest bidder. Then he handed
his bid through the window to the
clerk, who duly opened it and awarded
him the contract. Then the doors
were opened and the waiting repre-
sentatives were informed of the re-

a QUEST.


Long stnce. there lived a man reputed wise
(Some better things were said of him,
some vUIEsJ,
Who made his life tireless quest to know
The Why and Wherefore of the universe.
He wandered through solutions intricate,
And old and new philosophers he read;
This one converted, but another spake
And made his faith apostasy Instead.
A paladin of atheism first
But soon he dared to wonder how to-day
Existence universal was explained
BY saying it existed yesterday
So swerved away unto the other pole,
Hypothesis theistic, and would fam
Have found a cause without prior cause
But all his years of searching were in
vain.
Thus all his fond illations turned to dust;
Some things he learned are not revealed
to man;
What soace that he knew the essence of
All creeds religious since the world be-
gan?
His life was girt by vain analysis,
And subtle disputations held in thrall
His soul that wildly dreamed to overleap
The mystery Life offers to US all.
But when Age left him twisted, gray and
worn,
He felt the barren purpose of his quest,
And longed to quite forget his hooking
doubts
And live his last, few, trembling days at
rest.
But Death had watched him with a cynic's
eye
Had marked his shutting steps, his sight
grown dim.
And one still evening stood before his chair,
And smiled, half kindly, as he beckoned
him.
One passing through a certain field OF
graves
May find a stone of rather ancient date,
Which bears these words. the last philoso-
ply,
OF him whose life they thus commem-
crate:
Here sleeps a man who sought question
Cod
Who conjured with the everlasting Why;
Delved deeply into science, creeds and
schools,
And learned this truth-that Man is born
to die"

An English literary writer says that
the time is fully ripe for the advent Of
sailor poet and the marine engineer
poet. Whether they write in terms
of rhyme or not | care not. A virgin
field awaits them, noble inheritance,
maturing for ages. They can, if they
come, utterly refute the false and fool
ish prattle OF the armchair philoso-
piers, and prove triumphantly that so
far from the romance and poetry of
the sea being dead it has hardly yet
been given any adequate expression
whatever"

The windows were high and small,
with iron gratings. These were cas-
! ily arranged with fresh sash a,!rtains
of dotted swiss. The ceiling was the
worst, for it was of rough, brown
rafters, but with a little thought
and some trouble it was canopied
with four sheets, which added great
ly to the white effect Kitty was striv-
| ing for. Also an unsightly post
which held up a beam was twisted
with white cheese cloth, with sprays
of green asparagus pinned on, and a
palm in the green jardiniere was set
against it.
On the wicker table she placed
some fans. magazines, one or two
of white peonies, surrounded with
cool, green leaves.
Then, still mindful of Mrs. ST.
Clair's possible rheumatism, She
spread a green and white Japanese
rug beneath the most comfortable
rocker, and another before the white
draped couch. Finally she stepped
into the adjoining room, which was
the laundry, to wash her hands, and
all at once she had another brilliant
idea.
Why not lunch in the laundry?

| there could be no comfort in eating

dered if the guests were to be sun
struck during the meal.

the cook. Kitty and Tom went to

Among the fruits that have no seeds
we mention the banana, pineapple and
navel orange. These all once produced
seeds, but the habit of seed producing
has been eliminated by long periods of
selection and cultivation. The time
will come when some Of the fruits we
now raise will be model in this respect.
This is a very important factor in the
development of small fruits. where the
seeds will doubtless become smaller
and smaller with larger proportion
of pulp.

MILLIONS OF BANANAS.
Three Vessel Loads Of tn. Fruit Make

Scarcity of domestic grown fruits
caused another record in the importa-
tion of bananas to be broken, when
three vessels, all laden with the tempt

came up the Delaware, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
One OF the three was the Russian
steamboat Urania, with 1G,@00 punches
of bananas slowed away in her hold,
and the others were the Nurweg ian
steamships Spero and Leon, the for
mcr carrying 10000 lunches and the
la ter with $4,000 punches, a grand to-
tai for the three ships of $1,000
punches. Averaged at GO bananas TO
each bunch, this means that 2.53S,OOO
banana ,sre-unloaded altogether, or
nearly two for each resident of Phil
adelphia.
So great was the inward rush of the
fruit that one of the ships. the Spero,
was unable to find dock room. and her
cargo was brought 10 shore in lighters,
while the Spero lay at anchor in the
middle Of the Delaware off PIER 5. This
is one Of the rarest of happenings in
this port. and the proceedings were

NIGHT EATING MAKES FAT.
PhFsicians Are Now Advising Bed
time Luncheons for Emaci-
ated People.

1t was formerly thought that food
taken at bedtime created Indigestion
and bad dreams. While undoubtedly
rich and hearty food is inappropriate
at the time chosen for repose, light,
nouriShing repast at night often con
duces to sound sleep by drawing the
blood away from the brain.
Physicians are now advising a bed
time lunch for weak, nervous and
emaciated people. The long hours Of
sleep consume about one-third of our
existence. Although the demand
made upon the system is naturally
much less than during the waking
hours, there is a wasting away of it's
sues consequent upon the suspension
of nutriment for many hours. The
body feeds upon itself, for food taken
at dinner is digested at bedtime
Often one is restless and wakeful at
night because the stomach is empty.
Says a well-Enown physicians: "Man
is the only creature | know of who
does not deem I proper to sleep on
a good meal. The infant instructive
ly cries to be fed at night, showing
that food is necessary during that
time as well as through the day, and
that left too long without it causes it
discomfort. which it makes known by
crying"
If YOU crave it, eat a light, easily d.
gested lunch at bedtime. And the
long hours of sleep will work out for
you a problem in addition, instead of
subtraction. of adipose tissue.
