when a man gets used to drinking
rainwater," said a New Orleans man to
the Washington Post, "there is no other
water in the world that tastes so good.
Most of the people in New Orleans
have eisterns in their yards which hold
an abundant supply of water caught
from the Clouds the purest and best
In the world, according to my notion
The winter rainfall alone is used, the
summer catch not being desirable. 1t
is somewhat curious that in northern
ATTITUDES the cistern water does not
keep wholesome and sweet as it does
in our country"

The average compositor has a most
intense dislike for contractions and
rarely puts one in his pages when it
can be avoided. When he and the re-
porter disagree as to the meaning Of
some abbreviation, the result is some
times amusing.
A good example of this occurred In a
southern city where popular touring
orchestra was giving a Sunday night
concert. Naturally their selections were
principally of sacred character. Next

From the Twelfth Massachusetts, By
Mozart "-Harpers.
