- add to its features one of the
most interesting and attractive
that it has yet had.
'l.zarre," Mrs. Mary Hartwell Cath
erwcod's powerful novel, decidedly one
of the most successful books of the
year, will begin in serial form, the
first installment appearing in the issue
of that date.
All who have read this thrilling tale
have been struck nth its marvellous
beauty and unfagging interest. Literary
critics everywhere have agreed that it
has for its subject one of the most en-
gaging topics ever written upon.
Regarding her tremendously successful
work on "Lazarre.' Mrs. Catherwood
sG-s:

Nothing further need be said.

MANY RETURN TO MAINE.
Welcome the Watchword for Former
Residents and Hospitality Reigns.

This is Old Home Week in Maine, and
numbers of her Washington sons and
daughters are returning to the Old State
where joyful greeting is extended by
those who have remained. Welcome is
the watchword everywhere, and genial
hospitality reigns from the seacoast
towns TO the quiet inland villages and
farming districts. There is hardly
home in the whole State which is not
the scene of happy reunion, old friend
ships are renewed, old scenes revisited,
and old memories recalled. For the
home loving New Highlander of the Pine
Tree State it is indeed season of su-
preme pleasure and satisfaction.

" HE appropriation of s125,0O0 for
investigation of the irrigation
L question will bring into active
service many of the photogra-
piers who are attached TO the different
branches of the Government The utility
of the camera as maker of records of
Typographical facts has long been rec
ognized by the Government, and the
number of Government employees who
are skilled in the use OF the camera,
and who supplement their labors in diff
fercnt directions with photographs, is
much larger than would be supposed by
anyone who has never given any atten-
tion to the subject. When the subject
OF irrigation is introduced I always call
tc mind the story of one of the depart
inent clerks who spent some of his va
cation period in the country where ir-
rigation is resorted to. Before starting.
a fine outfit was purchased for him by
one of the official PHOTOGRAPHERS OF the
Interior Department. The lens and
camera were n ali respects up-to-date
instruments, and, although the clerk in
question was a novice in photography,
he succeeded in bringing back stock
of negatives which would have aroused
the envy of many photographer with
years OF experience to his credit The
amusing part of the trip is that this
novice developed his negatives from day
to day while on his vacation, and with
out the opportunity for using dark
loom. and, when asked how he managed
to do such good work, he frankly con
fessed that it was purely matter OF
luck. and that he performed his devel-
opment at night without the use of o
ruby light; that he was accustomed to
take his exposed plates and his devel
oping trays and go down to the bank OF
a river where the bushes were very
thick and, placing the exposed plate In
the developing tray, flow the plate with
developer, and rocking the tray carefully
until he had counted ZOO when the plate
was transferred to the fixing bath. Ne
cessity has been STYLED the mother If
invention, hut the simple trust in Prov
idence which led this novice TO proceed
ir such 2 manner to develop his plates.
ind the excellent technical negatives
which he secured. is sufficient 10 make
many believe that successful photogra
rhy is largely matter of luck.

The unveiling of the monument to
Rossini in Florence has revived many
stories about the noted musician, none
of which is to his dis&redit but rather
to the easy-going, bohemianlike dispo-
sition of the man. Rossini's laziness was
known not only to his intimates but to
the public at large, and he was often
twitted about it by his friends. Their
efforts to annoy him did not prove in
the least disccncerting. 1t was his GUS
tom to compose when lying in bed or
lounging on a couch and 1t is related
that one day while writing the paper
fell from his hands and rather than get
up and recover it he wrote an entirely
new aria on fresh sheet OF paper.
According to an Englishman who has
been making a study of woman, relative
to the composer whom she most ad-
mires. she who favcrs Beethoven is
loyal firm. conscientious. and capable OF
inspiring absolute confidence in the
breast of her suitor. The admirer OF
Mendelssohn is affectionate and inclined
to melancholy, while the woman who is
fond of Bach is practical. methodicdl.
and will make an excellent housewife
Worshipers of Chopin are dreamy and
romantic The student also declares that
the love of old songs is characteristic OF
the old maid while she who delights in
popular music, songs and marches is
doll without nead or heart. This is a
new and rather unique method OF read
ing ones disposition, but it may act as
warning to enthusiastic music lovers
and restrain them from expressing them
selves too freely about their favorite
composers.
The Musical Courier" recalls the dis
astrous performance of al Trovatore,"
