Bizet, the composer of the world-fa-
nous opera Carmen" and Halevy. his
librettist, once occupied apartments
whose outer doors opened on the same
Harding. AS soon as he had finished an
air Bizet would hasten to submit it to
his neighbor, who subjected it to the
most severe criticism, says the Chicago
News From morning to night the
piano reseunded in the composers
apartments. One night Bizet finished
a dramatic bit in which he fiattered
himself he had successfully sketched
the pride of triumphant toreador af-
ter successful bull fight. But Hale
Wy listened in silence and showed but
moderate enthusiasm. Bizet, some
what piaued, asked the cause of this
coldness.
It's good, 1 admit" said Halevy I'm
fact, it's too good. 1t lacks movement
it lacks snap-in short, it's not popu-
lar enough.
Not popular!" shouted the piqued
composer. DO you want me to write
for the slums?" He went out in a
huff, but soon relented and in an hour
returned with another air Listen to
this SAID he; here is my toreador
idea written down to your popular
level" 1t was indeed the song of the
toreador, and the only one which on
the first night received an encore and
seemed to move the firSt-night audi
ence from it's torpor

The late Lord Savile was one of
Britain's most discreet diplomats and
was never known to let sentence
drop that might in any emergency be-
tray a state secret, says the Chicago
Chronicle. He used to say that diplo-
mats had always to be on their guard
against intriguing women, mainly Rus
sian agents, who would use any vile
to extricate information. During the
Russo Turkish war, when Europe was
always on the verge of crisis and
Russian statesmen were not anxious
to know what England would do under
given circumstances lady came up 70
him suddenly at a ball and said:
Il hear that the Russians have made
forced march and entered Constan-
tinople," hoping, no doubt, that he
would be surprised into some indis-
Greet expression.
He merely replied: .
Indeed And I suppose the Sultan
has conferred on them. the Order of
the Turkish Bath!'
The lady continued gravely:
And they say in Paris that if Eng
land does not interfere the eastern
question is settled in favor of Russia. y
And that" replied his exeellency,

With Hammock And Pine.

From the Baltimore American.
Some folks there be who seek the sea
When summer time is here,
And some who try the mountains high
Where board and room are dear;
Some like the look of lake or brook.
When the hot wave is ripe,
But this poor bard likes his back yard,
His hammock and his pipe
No landlord there to charge for air,
Or things that one may see;r
Nor folk who talk or drive or walk,
Or tell how rich they be;
No bill of fare to make one swear,
Nor yet to cause the grippe
Nor anything. but just to swing
With hammock and with pipe.
Mosquitoes do not come to chew,
Nor~yet to eat one up;
No thing to bite by day or night
Except the neighbours pup.
So wherefore roam away from home,
And perspiration wipe,
When days be clear and we have here
The hammock and the pipe?
The sky is blue-the smoke is, too,
And make a man feel good,
And all things seem to gayly CLEAN
And act just as they should.
Some folks leave home away to roam
When the hot wave is ripe,
But like as not they have not got
A hammock or a pipe.

THE PRICE OF COTTON.

The main reason probably why the
South is prosperous is that she has
been getting a good price for cotton
for several years. The money she has
been getting for this crop has gone in
TO Industrial undertakings and has
contributed to the opening of new
farms.
question therefore which presents
itself in this connection is, what is the
prospect for the price of cotton re-
naming about what it is at present or
going higher during this season?
1t seems to us to be very good. The
world is consuming a great deal more
cotton than it did before the Spanish
American War. The consumption in
this country is increasing rapidly, and
in the Far East 1t is much larger than
1t was a few years ago. In this coun-
try the better times have enabled the
people to spend more for cotton goods.
According to excellent authority the
spinners' takings during the year just
closed were close to, if not quite H.
O00 900 bales, while the crop was less
than 10, 500, 900 bales. The report of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange shows
that the worlds visible supply at the
close of the last season was about
$50, 900 bales less than it was at the
close of the previous season.
Now what about this years crop?
The estimates of course differ widely.
The Commissioners of Agriculture of
the Cotton States, at their meeting at
Nashville last week, estimated that the
crop would be 9719, 1874 bales. Other es-
Inmates place it as high as 11,250Oo0
bales. The truth probably is between
these two extremes.
If the crop does not go over 10,500,0O0
the worlds demand, under existing
conditions will hardly be met, and the
present price ought to be fully main
tanned. In fact, it ought to go higher.
If indications of an II, 900 900 bale crop
should become convincing the price
might decline a little. If business
should continue prosperous, however.
the world could easily take an IL, 000,0 900
bale crop at the present price, and
there are good reasons for thinking it
would do so.

VEGETABLES AND TYPHOID.

Typhoid fever is prevalent in Wash
ington, Philadelphia and Chicago. In
Philadelphia there seems to be pref
ty general agreement that the disease
is caused by the bad water with which
the city is supplied. This, however,
is not true of Washington and Chiea-
go. The Washington water is very
good, while an examination of that of
Chicago by experts has shown that
there is nothing in it that could cause
so much fever. 1t is very we'll known
that typhoid is often transmitted in
milk, but an examination of Chicagos
milk supply has failed to Justify the
placing of the blame there. Physicians
of the health department, while insist
ing upon the exercise of caution and
cleanliness everywhere as a proven
tive of the disease have not made up
their minds respecting the sources of
infection that are giving so much
trouble.
Meanwhile some physicians outside
of the health departments in Wash
ington and Chicago have given express
sion to the opinion that much of the
typhoid in those cities might be traced
to the vegetables and. fruits sold in
the markets and on the streets. Ger
tain vegetables are eaten raw-cele-
ry and lettuce, for instance. These
may carry disease germs from the fer
tilted earth in which they were
grown. 1t is very difficult to wash
them perfectly clean, even when great
care is taken. When the cleasing
process is done by a careless cook it
is an easy matter for the germs to
be left and for them to find their way
into the interior of the consumer,
where they make trouble. Vegetables
and fruits sold on the streets by
hawkers are also inveighed against
| They are open to all the dust and fly
| ing germs of the streets, and the
| hawkers who handle the truck with
| their hands are not always of immac-
| ulate cleanliness. The flies of the
| streets and cutters light upon the
vegetables and fruits, thereby trans
| ferring to them germs of various sorts.
| There may be something in these
| speculations. 1t Is certainly desira-
BILE to make strenuous efforts for
| cleanliness in all things. Neverthe-
less. if one were constantly thinking
about the germs which swarm on ev-
cry side and how 10 avoid them, there
would be little pleasure left in life.
One would be almost obliged to quit
eating altogether, to avoid the posi-
/ bility of germs, and kissing ones espe-
cially dear friends would have to be
cut out of the list of things permissi-
BILE. The best we can do, therefore, is
to shun the worst germs that we can
conveniently. boil some of the others,
and take the rest straight" trusting
to good fortune to come out clear in
the general average

Going in. Wrong Direction.

According to a well-known citizen.
the intersection of Franklin and La
fayette streets was the scene recently
of one of the most laughable incidents
on record, says the Tampa Herald.
The small, but faithful, band of Sal
walton Army workers had gathered at
the corner at the usual hour, and the
usual crowd was on hand to hear the
Word of God from their lips. In the
crowd there was an individual who
appeared to be somewhat the worse for
having gazed too long on the flowing
bowl, and thereby hangs the tale.
Presently, one of the cadets came
to the front with the statement that
he had been on his way to heaven
for a period of ten years. Brothers"
he said, II have been on my way to
glory for ten years. and am still trav-
cling in that direction. Won't you go
along with me?"
The statement seemed to amuse the
woozy one, and he rolled over near the
speaker and looked at him, inquirinS-
ly. Finally he asked in a decidedly
"brown-toned" voice:
Shay, brother did you shay That
you been on zhe way to heaven ten
years?"
Yes, brother, and 1 wish you We're
going with me-" was the solemn reply.
We'll, if you been travelfn ten

ply, and the truth of the statement
brought laughter to the lips of many.

A WORLDS STEEL TRUST.

IL was announced, when Mr..
Schwab. president of the United
States Steel Corporation, left for Eu-
rope that falling health made it nec-
essary for him to take a rest. May
it not be that he has a mission, name
ly, the inspection of the chief steel
plants of England and Germany. for
the purpose of determining their ac-
tual value? Mr.. Sehwab is an expert
in the manufacture of steel. He
knows all about the business. Mr..
Morgan is an expert in forming trusts.
These two men, and capitalists back
of them, may be figuring on forming
an international steel trust.
There are some reasons for this
view. A few days ago we published
a statement from Mr.. Mason, our con-
sui general at Berlin, that the lead
ing steel plants of Germany had been
united in one great combination, for
the purpose of controlling the home
market and capturing foreign trade.
1t was also announced that the gov
ernment, to aid this steel combination
to capture the steel trade in foreign
markets. had agreed to allow it from
the imperial treasury, on all its prod
ucts sold abroad, the difference be-
tween the price it received in foreign
markets and the price 1t received in
the home markets, where it has the
benefit of a protective tariff.
1t is apparent that this arrange
ment makes the German steel trust a
formidable competitor in foreign
markets of our Billion Dollar Steel
Trust.
In Sundays dispatches it was
stated on the authority of the Event
ing Standard of London. that the steel
manufacturers of England had about
succeeded in combining their plants,
and that it would soon be announced
that England had about as great steel
trust as the United States, and would
be prepared not only to hold her own
market for steel products, but would
be in a position to compete with other
nations for a share of the worlds
trade in these products.
1t seems therefore that the Billion
Dollar Trust finds that it not only
has strong competition at home, but
is threatened with strong competition
in the worlds markets. What is more
natural, therefore, than that Mr.. Nor
gan, the head of the Billion Dollar
Trust, should undertake to head off
the threatened competition by form
ing an international trust, and what
man is SO we'll qualified as Mr..
Schwab to make an estimate of the
value of the steel plants of Germany
and England on which to base an
agreement or trust?
There is an impression that Mr.
Morgan is afraid of competition, even
domestic competition, for the reason,
it is alleged, that some of the plants
of the Billion Dollar Trust are out
of date, and If there should come a
depression in business the trust could
not compete successfully with the up
to-date steel making plants. Assum-
ing that this is the case it explains
the effort now being made to change
preferred stock of the trust into
bonds, and thus provide $50 900, 900
presumably for the renewal of out-of-
date plants

live to be a hundred. "A hundred?'
he answered; why do you wish to
limit the divine Providence?"
