TO GET A HEARING.
1t Costs a Small Fortune for Begin
ners to Give a Concert.

Let all those Of the outside public
who read that some eminent vocalist
OF the concert-room platform, or
some astonishing instrumentalist Of
the same, is drawing enormous fees
take the word of an expert that there
is no effort in the world so difficult
and so heartbreaking as that of OBJ
tanning the ear of the public in the
way mentioned.
Every season, in London aione,
stys Tit-Bits, the sums spent by new
comors in their desire to give con-
cert or to share in one are in the ag-
gregate enormous, and generally this
expense only comes as a elimination
after both friends and money have
been exhausted in paying for long
series of lessons in this country and
abroad, during which period the stu
dent has never earned sixpence. But,
after years of study, a hearing must
be got at any hazard for the novice,
and if she be girl the very dress on
her back has often cost All infinitude
Of family sacrifice. In too many
cases, though agents have been pro-
pltiated and critics have been actu-
ally got to the concert-room-impor-
tant concerts often clash on the same
day-the result is a disappointment,
for many musical genius will break
down under the ordeal and be seen at
his or her worst.
From the colonies alone fortunes
have poured into London that have
been speeulatively used in concerts
giving on behalf of tyros, but quite
nineteen out Of twenty of the aspir-
ants have been, as is the case with
the home-eultiYated variety, COM
paratiye failures. One of the greatest
concert agents Of the world said to
the writer: Il have known scores Of
cases-l mean scores literally
where student, praised to the skies
BY professors, has spent ten years of
study without earning anything, and
has then expended a small fortune in
giving experimental concerts, only to
find that he or she cannot even earna
living"

Ruling on De Rossit Law.

Circuit Judge Hughes of Crit
tendon county, in the case of Capt.
Mallory Of Memphis, has declared
section of the DeRossit game
law passed at the last session OF
the legislature to be unconstitution-
al. This section forbids non-rcsi-
dents from hunting or fishing on
lands owned by themselves in this
state. The court held that the
rest of the law, which seeks to
prohibit non-residents who own no
land in the state, from hunting
and fishing in the state, is valid.
The case will be appealed.

A DEAD CIVE-AWAY.
Cherries Were Ripe and There Was
Woman Who Liked Them.

When Mrs. Dean went out to see
if the cherries were ripe enough for
picking, says the New York Times,
she found one Of her neighbours chill
dren perehed aloft in the tree not
only helping himself, but also filing
a pail with the fruit She called him
down and was about TO administer q
stern reproof when his mother CAME
hurriedly over TO apologize. Il try
every means TO keep Leslie out Of
that tree, she said. But he's bound
to get into it. | shall punish him SCI
yerely.
Much appeased, Mrs. Dean was
about to offer her neighbor somesof
the cherries when the little boy
tugged at her arm.
Say, Missus Dean he said, do
you know last year mother had to
boost me into that tree, but now Tn
big enough to climb into it myself.n

PAPER CORKS NOW.
Invention Makes Possible cheapeji
and Better Bottle-Stopners


For hundreds of years the bark of
the eork-tree has been the only
known substance from which corks
have been made. The process is
practically the same now as hum
drel years ago. There has been no
improvement, no progress. On the
other hand cork has become scarcer
and scarcer, until it is almost doub-
ling in cost every year. The supply
is not equal to the demand, and is
rapidly becoming exhausted, until
users of fine sorts Of cork find it diff
ficult to secure them, says London
Answers.
A remarkable invention has Just
been perfected and patented 1t isa
machine the size of a sewing ma
chine, which makes cork out Of waste
paper and paper pulp. All kinds of
waste and scrap paper can be made
into corks. These corks are superior
to the regular sort, as they are not
affected by acids or oils, and have
been tested by leading chemists and
the largest users of corks, and by
them pronounced far superior to the
old style in every way One machine
will make over 800 per minute.
Gorks can be made any size, color, or
shape, and name or trademark can be
stamped in the top of each as made.
They are sold at one-tenth the price
Of REGULAR cnrks.

To Tax Coal Mines

Assessor Bryan has caused con.
sternation among mine owners Of
Sebastian, county by stating that
he will tax the coal underground as
we'll as the land. If his contention
is sustained by the courts, the coal
corporations will be compelled to
pay taxes on fully onc-half a mil
lion dollars worth of property
which has hitherto escaped taxa
ton In making his assessments
through the county Mr.. Bryan dis
covered that fully three fourths Of
the surface land in the county is
underlaid with coal, which has been
sold, so that the land has a surface
and mineral owner, the former
paving taxes and the latter cscap-
ing payment. The surface is as
sessed at s. an acre, while the
underlying coal is held at 500 an
acre, and has heretofore remained
untaXed.
