A Recipe for Comic opera.

(Rohert z. Beriet in Chicago Chronicle,
pot OF paste, pair OF shears,
an almanac OF bygone years,
This is good beginning
A few good jokes. some may be new.
Some music sweet and rss me, too
Good songs, for chorus singing.
Some handsome boys with voices sweet,
Ano pretty girls with ankles neat,
To support the prirna donna
4 ruler and chamberlain
The latter will the law explain,
You'll ind il comic opera.
Some ancient puns, a lot of rot,
We quite forgot We had no plot
But that's not necessary;
One good fellow, the leading man,
VIII this explain the best -Ie can,
For that is customary.
Sprinkle some nonsense here and there.
Marches fine and simple air,
AS music FOR the orchestra,
4 few good songs interpolata,
And then twill be quite up to date
And there's your comic opera.
Be sure before the opening night
Not 10 forget to copyright,
Il does seem rather funny
That people who should have good sense
When they have read the press comments
For such stuff will pay money.

not be out Of place at this time.
Notwithstanding the fact that in
some mechanical trades experts have
had wages advanced. nguros taken
from the census reports show de

IN the average wages Of laborers in

1890. The figures for manufacturing
taken from census reports for 1900
have been completed for thirty-three
states. and In those states 1904 500
wage earners received an average
yearly amount OF s4184s. or s1.39 a

i,463,365 wage earners received an
average Of s3sz53 each year. or S1.2s

trusts are more powerful the decline
as shown by the census figures has
been even greater. In New Jersey.
