Pietro Mascagni, best known here as the composer of Cavalier Rusticana," will visit this country the coming season and make a tour of the country. A syn dicate has been formed to exploit him and the orchestra which he will bring will be composed of seventy musicians and four soloists. Mascagni will arrive here somewhere about the first of No vember. ;.
 Manager Donnelly of the Murray Hill Theater is now going in for new produc- tions instead of depending solely on the revival of old plays to entertain his pat rons He has just produced semi religious play of "The Sign of the Cross' type. It is called The Prince of the World" It was written by Mr. Hall Reid and Bertha Bell Westbrook. It Is billed as "A Christian Play, an entirely unnecessary qualification. The Prince introduces Pontlus Pilate Peter the Apostle, Caiphas, Judas, Simeon, Cyrene the leper, Judith, and two live lions in an iron cage. In fact. of of these so- called semi-religious plays do, and l sup pose that Is the sole justification they have for their production. Hall Caine Is about due again with one of his semi religious works and then we shall have one more C--Cristian at work on the stage.
 Two popular but well-worn plays have been given here lately-"Rosedale," at the American and 'The Silver King" at the Grand Opera House They pleased the patrons at both houses. The ad- vantages these old dramas possess over new plays is that all the stage business is we'll understood and a stage manager who knows anything about his business good stage managers are very rare can easily, by the use of an old prompt book, drill his people in their parts. The production of new play is an entirely different proposition and that is why players and stage managers in the popu- lar price theaters make such a mess of them.

William Gillette was so pleased with her Eunice that he offered her a place in his company, which she accepted Her stage work was of so great a character that MT. Gillette intends to take Miss Fealey with him to London next season to make her Euro pean debut there.

 These are days of big figures. One day we read that Lawson has lost $1O,- o00,oOo in Copper" and that other peo- pie have lost $1OO,OOO, ,OOO in the same, and the next day we read that Andrew Carnegie has given $10,OOOOOO to found a national university at Washington, while Mrs. Stanford has given $3OO0O,- 900 to the trustees of the Stanford Uni- verslty. The big losses are impressive, and the big gains which education has made are still more so. If money con- t1nues to pile up and the notion that it is disgraceful to die rich continues to spread there are interesting times ahead Perhaps it will be found that money can't push the world along as rapidly as some think it can, but it will buy much. Its use in education is promising. Educators will have better salaries, and those who want to be edu- cated will have better facilities" And when we are all rich and educated then we can all be happy.

A BIT OF AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

Thomas Nelson Page Tells What Life in the South Was in His Youth.
 It was in a family established in the doctrines of the church as eXpounded by this virile divine that the writer was reared As to the keeping of the Sab bath this rearing was after the strait est sect of our religion. Religion en- tered into the life as have never known it do anywhere else. Instead of being slowed away in corner or laid up for use on Sunday, it was always at hand and became a part, and a very obvious part, of the daily life. Nor was it a religion softened and emasculated to suit the delicate fancies of modern dilettanteism. It was the religion of the grim evangelical divines of the last century: This world was only "a vale of misery" through which we had to walk with fear and trembling so as to reach in safety the other world where true life begins. The Bible was the lit- eral word of God, and the only admissl-
 
 ble uestion on any point was what the Bible said. No man took from it even if somewhat was added to it by Call whistle exegesis. It is related that the wife of the old churchman of York who used to spread his table to entertain the whole congregation, on coming from church one Sunday called her maid to come and help her off with her dress, as she had heard so much about hell and damnation she did not feel as if she would cool off before Christmas" The style had not changed in hundred years. The lurid glare of fire was pie tured from the pulpit, denounced against all mankind; but it was tenn pered by the soft musings of the psalmist in hours of hope, and the gen. tie sayings of the Savior as He yearned over a fallen world These, though hardly understood beside the terrific in

additions. either as preservatives or as coloring agents, to milk offered for sale within the United Kingdom should be an offence under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts. The committee also rec ommends that the use of formaldehyde or preparations thereof should be ab- solutely prohibited, and that salicylic acid should not be used in larger pro- portion than one grain in pint or pound of food In this small quantity there is no evidence that it is hurtful. In the case of cream, butter, and mar garine, the recommendation is that only boric acid or borate of soda should be permitted, and these only in strictly limited quantity, not exceeding A per cent in cream, and F per cent in but ter or margarine. In all instances, moreover, the nature and quantity of the preservative employed is to be dis tinctly declared. In the case of food for infants or invalids the total pro- hibition of chemical conservatives is advised. In respect of coloring matters, the general verdict of the committee Is that nobody eats enough of any colored article to be injured by any pigment or dinarily employed.
 All of which indicates that this is somewhat better world than many have supposed it to be.

SOME DEAD RECIPROCITY.

Reciprocity may be "the iandmaiden of protection" but 1t is evident that there isn't going to be much work re- quired of the handmaiden this year. The news comes from Washington that the reciprocity treaties now in the Sem ate are admitted by their framers to be dead. John A. Kasson, the special commissioner appointed to negotiate the treaties, has decided to make no more effort to secure their adoption, and the rest of the former supporters of the instruments will follow his lead. The officers who negotiated the treaties say that the rejection of their work will prove one of the worst blunders that has been committed in years, and that it will have a very disastrous effect on the trade of the United States. q predict said one of these men, that within the next two years the much talked of commercial war against the United States by European countries will be well under way. In 1903 nearly all of the reciprocity agreements that now bind the leading nations of Europe will expire, and they will be in posi- tion to make new arrangements The feeling against this country will very likely grow and result in trade agree ments among the European powers to the exclusion of the United States
 Perhaps it is too much to expect that those who have good thing in the way of protection should be willing to give up any part of it, but those who are not especially protected can see wisdom and benefit in reciprocity.

ENCOUR NC.

A committee of the British Local Government Board has for the last two years been Investigating the whole subject of preservatives and coloring matters used in food, and it's report will encourage those who have been afraid to eat or drink lest they be poisoned. The committee says that the preserva- tive agents now in common use may be arranged under a very small num- Der of heads-namely, boric acid and it's compounds, sulphurous acid and sulphites, salicylic acid, or rather it's soda salt, which is more soluble, and formaline, or formaldehyde, which alone rests under any well-founded suspicion of being likely to inflict injury upon those who partake of it too freely
 There were apprehensions in many quarters lest the majority of the pre- servatives in common use might be in furious, especially those added to milk, which, when so doctored, is consumed in large quantities by young children. The committee has found no proof of injury thus occasioned. It believes, however, that it is unwise to permit any risks in this direction, and, having ob- tained abundant proof that the milk in- dustry does not require the use of pre- servatives, recommends that the use of

DON'i DRINK IT.

There are several reasons for not drinking champagne, prominent among which is it's cost. Those who wont re- frain from drinking it on that account will have to be tackled with something else. For instance, they might be told that it has been noticed that there is a remarkable coincidence between the spread of cancer and the largely in-
 creased consumption of effervescent wines and waters among the wealthy classes. Prior to the sixties champagne as drink was, even in higher circles, partaken of but occasionally, nor were aerated waters consumed in anything like the quantity nor with the frequen- cy that they now are. These beverages, and, indeed, all effervescing drinks owe their sparkle to the carbonic acid gas , which they contain. A writer in the Medical Times asserts that people who are in the habit of constantly imbibing effervescent beverages, which are solu- tions of carbonic acid of greater or less strength, so prepare their mucous tis- sues as to make them favoring host to the cancerous fungus, if fungus it be.
 Of course this assertion doesn't rest on very solid basis yet, but it will do to help scare people into "temperance' with. Don't drink champagne, because cancer has been increasing while the use of champagne has been increasing.

APROPOs OF HUGO's BIRTH,

Frances Way of Recognizing Her Great Men and an Example to Other Mighty Nations.
 The liveliest satisfaction is felt at the announcement of the governments s
 intention to give official recognition to
 the fetes attending the centenary of the
 is February 26 next. France, in the
 manner of honoring her great men, cer- tainly sets an example to England. It was one of our greatest scientific men, was it not, who said he had to cross the channel every year to regain his self
 respect? There is little doubt, from the
 details one has already seen, that the fete will be in every way worthy of the splendid genius which inspires it. Literary France is not likely to forget the debt she owes the man who broke asunder the letters that 80 long held her bound. It is singular to think that Hugo, who died only in 1885 and whose funeral is remembered by every Paris ian for it's magnificencessho actual ly have begun his work before Water loo More remarkable still, the high level he maintained through his long literary life. Hugo has fewer lapses into the commonplace than possibly any other writer, whom we call prolific. In thus honoIins Victor Hugo, France honors the romantic movement and its bright cluster of constellations; Sainte- Beuve, Alfred de Musset, the Des- champs. Prosper Merimee and Alexan- dre Dumas. Surely no man left deeper impress on his time. It is natural that stories are being told of the great poet and romancist. One shows him in a very human light. He was a great eat CT, and when at the table he concerned himself with little else than his food. Occasionally he would make a remark, and all tongues were silent while the great man spoke. One day merry party was dining at the poets house. Hugo hardly spoke until the dessert. Then he turned to his neighbor, and
