is a 81 lendid baritone,
Mr.. r. W Tompkins has again taken

Worshipping in the main auditorium

The coming season bids fair to be an
unusually busy one with our local mu-
sictans, Oar prominent chOirs and
musicical organizations are already
casting about for new talent and new
music with which to entertain their
audiences.
That grand old hymn "Nearer My
God To Thee" has indeed become our
national sacred hymn. Never before
has that or cny other hymn been so
universally sung, nor with greater re-
verence than since the untimely death
of William Mckinley.
Much interest and enthusiasm is
aroused by the statement that the
Dvorak Musical Association, which
made itself famous by it magnifi-
cent presentations of the "Pirates Of
Penzsnce" in June 1900, Is to Re reOr-
ganized, It was too fine collection of
singers to go adrift.
The Metropolitan, The Asbury, st.
Luke's P. E Park Temple, and Sec
ond Baptist churches each have oom-
petent musical directors who keep
thoroughly in touch with the musical
world, and these organizations take
first rank, and visitor TO any Of these
churches is assured of musical treat,
Each year music becomes more and
more an essential featnre Of divine
| worship.

A Mare with Golden Teeth.

"A Mare With Golden Teeth.
The task of filling eleven teeth of a
horse with gold and silver was per-
formed at New York recently. The
horse was Anna, a sorrel mare, owned
by Jefferson Seligman, the banker.
Anna is Mrs. Seligman's favorite sad
die horse. Mr.. Seligman and his fam
lily are at Long Branch. Anna is a
handsome animal, and. has taken first
prize for saddle horses in the Madi-
son square garden horse show. She
has not eaten for three weeks. The
veterinary who examined her found
that eleven of the mares teeth-five
upper incisors and six lower ones
were unsound. He took number of
large drills, several other instruments
and several hammers, with quantity
OF gold and silver, to Long Branch,
and began the operation of cleaning
out the cavities and filling them. The
mares teeth were in need of good
deal of drilling. Cocaine was admin
istered to her. Her legs were not tied
and she stood during the entire opera
ton. Two cavities were filled with
gold, sufficient to fill ten teeth for a
man. "A proportionate quantity of sill
yer was put in the other nine teeth

1bsen Wanted a Barber.


One enthusiastic Ibsenite. while still
rabid, will content himself in future
with admiring the master" through
his works. Officially called upon to re-
side in Norway for season, he. after
meeting the playwright on several oc-
casions, invited him to pay him a visit,
He found Ibsen a most difficult guest.
He was extremely sensitive and senti-
mental, and his feelings were con-
stantly being hurt. The morning after
his arrival the guest did not appear at
breakfast. Instead, a message arrived
that he wished to see the eldest son
OF, the house AS the eldest son was
not present, the puzzled host went to
|see what the difficulty might be. It
seemed that Ibsen desired the eldest
son to act. as barber, that being the
custom Of the country. His host ex-
planned that, in The first place, the. ED
est son was absent, and in the second.
that had he been present the operation
would have been fraught with peril,
for the ellest son was conspicuously
nnskilled. Ibsen was advised, there
fore, to seek professional assistance,
AS there was nothing else to do Ibsen-

lip attended to professionally. --L:ppin-

The diversity of Miss Mary E.. VIII

titled @Understudies.' Since the earlier
tales of New England life which were
sufficient In themselves to make an
enviable reputation for any author, we
have learned to know Miss wilkins as
story teller and a novelist in other
fields and in other ways, and, it. has
been interesting to follow her develop
ment as an artist. Only once did she
deviate from the line of progress, and
that was when she was tempted to en-
ter into competition with tn pseudo
historical romance-and fell: But in
The Portion OF Labor" now appearing
IN Harrer's Magazine, she has not only
recovered herself, but, in our Judgment,
has climbed to higher level Of artistic
attainment. Her new volume Of Gun

story her hand has not lost IT'S cum

les" very delightful as love stories, but
the conception of the idea which char

Mr.. Jefferson invented the copying
press. He writes to Mr.. Madison in
1857: Having a great desire to have a

studied over some experiments with the
principle of large machines made to ap-
ply in the smaller one, planned one in

to the Marquis de Lafayette as pres
ent. He invented the revolving chair,
now familiar and nee essary article of

rooms. The Federalist newspapers used
to call 1T MIR. Jeffersons whirligig,' y

There are many viands once highly
esteemed by epicureans that the mod
ern chef knows nothing about AS Is
well known, the ancient Israelites ate
locusts, fried In oil, and many modern
travellers. in Africa have pronounced
we'll cooked locusts to be .succulent
and nourishing with something Of the
taste Of boiled eggs. The old great
philosopher Socrates, who knew sew
eral things, considered dish Of we'll
cooked grasshoppers to be more tooth
some than quail on toast and the
French army in Algiers found that
sgrasshoppers, simply boiled. in salt
water, We're not only good eating,
but q valuable addition to army diet,
and the old campaigners carried the
custom back home with them, so that
today grasshoppers are valued in
many French provinces as an article
of food. In Poitiers, France; the
children catch .grasshoppers in the
fields and eat their eggs raw. The
natives on Lake Nyassa, Africa, catch
IN nets small fly called the koungo
and make cakes Of them. They are
said to have the taste of caviar. In
many of the South Sea Islands spi-
ders are the chief table delicacy. In
portions of Central and South Ameri-
ca caterpillars are choice titbit, and
have been approved by some travellers
who have tasted them. The palm
worm of India, a white, oily insect,
about three inches in length, is con-
sadered a delicacy by the natives,
whether eaten raw or cooked in va
rlous ways. It is sometimes united
with flour and made into cakes, or it's
oil is extracted and used as the base
for gravy and sauces as an appetizer
with other food products. The white
ant of India and Africa, fried in but
ter, is also choice article of food.
In Australia the larvae of the horned
caterpillar are regularly sought for
food. They are found in decayed trees
and have value and flavor according
to the species Of tree they are taken
from. The natives eat them raw,
but the civilized tribes prefer them
fried. We can imagine the lady of
the family, with her market basket,
dickering for her favorite brand of cat.

Posing as u Model.

"A curious feature of a modeIs occu.
patioa is her posing for nm artist who
is painting some one else Wealthy
people are caprcious and often do not
care 10 give long sittings Therefore,
after the artist has caught the express
sion of the face, he will call in a model
to pose for the figure. Some models
do not care to do this, as part of their
enjoyment of their occupation consists
IN seeing themselves reproduced on
canvas, but there are others who are
quite willing to help fill out.
Various models have various points
Of excellence. and often painter will
employ at different stages In the prog
ress of his work from three to four
models for one figure on his canvas.
One model is known for her coloring,
another for her hands, another for her
hair. An artist generally notes in his
address book the characteristics of a
model after her name. These quota
tons are taken at random from an
artists address book: Fine young
Jewess." English, tall and slim, blond,
costume" Good back" Good figure,
short legs. ivory tone."-Cosmopolitan.

pecked husband recently" said young
woman the other day.
What was it?' her friend inquired.
There is n man who has some diff
Guilty in sauging his wife's temper. At
times she is considerate Of his welfare
and at other timos-wcll, he rather
thinks that married life is failure.
HE has peculiar manner of finding
out the state of his wfes feeling to-
ward him. In the evening when he re-
turns home from work he never steps
into the house without going through a
sort of ceremony. First he throws his
hat in the house. and then he seats
himself OH the steps and waits. If five
minutes pass without the hat being
thrown out again, he enters and gener-
ally finds his wife very agreeable.
However. if the hat Is thrown out
again the unfortunate man seeks hos
pitality for the night somewhere else
rather than brave the anger of his help

Showing the Queer.

The game of counterfeiting in this
country is played by people of all ma
tionalities, and, although some women
and children are used as tools. men
take the principal parts. After having
made the coin the great problem is how
to convert it into good money. The
maker rarely takes part in that opera
ton. 1t is the business of gangs, which
consist usually of two persons, known
as the "holder" and the shower"
The holder carries n stock of the
counterfeit money, and the shower has
one piece. This he takes to store or a
saloon and buys something for small
amount, and when he comes into the
street the holder sees him from his po-
sition block away. joins him, receives
the good money and hands him another
counterfeit.
The object is to work so that the
shower. if detected, may plead limo
cence and prove that the piece is the
only one that he has and that he has no
other money. Some clever operators
go so far as to mix good coin with the
had

A Beavers Toilet.

1t Is an interesting sight to watch the
outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin
with. instead of sitting up with his
large, flat. ribbed tail protruding be-
hind him, he tucked it forward between
his hind legs and sat upon 1t. Then
with his hand he carefully combed his
long hair, using both hands at the same
time. There were many places, how
ever, that could not be reached in this
way, for his arms are very short ana
his body very large, so he conlbed these
otherwise inaccessible places with his
hind feet, using first one and then the
other. ihc entire operation was per
formed with the utmost dcliberatlon
and care and occupied more than a
quarter Of an hour, so that by the time
it was completed daylight had almost
vanished.
My presence did not appear to dis
turb him in the least. though | sat on

attitudes, for it is not often one has
