career has lasted half century. Be- fore this her father had abandoned his position in Nantes and taken her to Paris, where she entered the cOnserva- tory, and was put under the instruc- tion of Massart, one of the greatest of French teachers. She was the first girl ever accepted as pupil in the con- servatory. In 1852, when at the age of 10, she made her first appearance in Boston, her playing was eulogized by J. s. Dwight and other critics. For three years she travelled through the United States, and then she retired for rest and study, resuming her career in 1862, when she began to play much, both in the United States and in Paris, where she was treated almost like a prima donna. One dramatic little in- cident in her career occurred in Bos- ton, where, about 1870, she was play ing Mozart concerto, when an alarm of fire threatened to cause a panic. The plucky violinist kept on unmoved, and when the audience had taken cOur- age from her example, she played the
 movement through again from the be- ginning. It is said that Camilla Urso
 has travelled more on concert tours

As it is for the benefit of the library and MT Birdseye IS an enter taining and able lecturer, a large audi ence should be present. The Bridge port Post in speaking of MT Birdseye, said: 1.-The announcement that Hon G. K. Birdseye would repeat his lec- ture on Paul Revere attracted a large and intelligent audience. It was a splendid lecture, not only highly en- tertaining, but instructive as we'll. The subject is we'll calculated to stir those of sluggish blood, for one could hardly repress cheer as they seemed to see Revere and his gallant steed sweeping on toward Lexington. It is needless to say that the audience was greatly interested and delighted"

AN ODE TO VIEWPOINT.

BY HELEN A. TAYLOR OF DANBURY.I There is town, of good renown.
 A few miles from the sea. With verdant hills and purling rills,
 And scenery fine to see. For trading gains, the railway trains
 Are daily passing through; Of business fair. they have their share.
 With buildings. good and new. From hill tops stand. a prospect grand.
 On all sides meets the view; While we'll titled farms, the traveller charms, When one is journeying through. In summers heat. for cool retreat,
 Some city people come; And with good care, the tOwnsfolk share
 With them, awhile, their home. If in hotel they choose to dwell. With rooms and board, that Will afford
 Comfort. and health, as we'll. For Sunday worship. if inclined.
 Churches are near at hand; Pulpits well filled and choir well drilled
 As any in th., land. A paper there if you should care
 It's merits more to see. If you peruse. twill tell the news.
 'Tis called THE NEwrOwN BEE. paper good. with mental food,
 Sayings, both wise and witty: And doth a6oShd with news arGund So come and call, good people all,

II per cent In 1901, That Great Britain 8

Great Britain ..l6,3Gl $40 yen 5O,575, ,7SS yen
United States, l7sl los yen 42.769, ,429 yen
Nearly twenty-three fold increase for
us. We now stand second as n seller TO
Japan, except India, Japan's nearest
source OF supply, and we are only few
thousand yen below that mighty part of
the British empire. Germany is fourth,
and China ifth. When, by congressional
aid we are able to carry all. instead of a
traction OF our own goods in our own
SHIPS to the land of the chrysanthemum
and the geisha, we shall soon take first
place. There Is one way to do it,
ana only one. and that is To protect our
sh!p-huilding and ship-operating branches
OF commerce, as carefully, fully and sue
cessfully as we do other lines.
IN this Japanese trade, 1t is gratifying
TO he able To note that the share of our
Philippine islands has increased nearly
seVer-fold since 1892 the figures being
fIola2 yen In 1892, and 2.9sl 1881 yen in
lall, Doubtless most of this increase has
been since our requirement of the is
lands, Judging by the fact that after
nearly 400 years of Spanish ownership. tho
Islands trade with Japan had only
reached i75,l22 yen In 1892 Yet there are
