The much-heralded all-star perform
ance of die Walkure' at the Metro
politan Opera House in New York on
last Thursday evening, the anniversary
of Abraham Lincoln's birthday did not
prove such a tremendous success. The
audience was not large, and there
were many tiers of vacant seats. Nor
dica was Brunhilde, and Herr
Burgstaller, the new German tenor,
made his first New York appearance,
singing the role of Siegmund. The
press of New York pronounce him the
most satisfactorily equipped tenor Mr.
Grau has brought forward this year.
OF him the New York Herald says:
His singing, true to the pitch, was
truly refreshing in these times at the

wander from the key, and his sense of
rhymithical nicely was quite unusual"

OUR RAILROAD INDUSTRY.
Million and a Quarter Workers on American PayrolIs and Their
 Number Increasing.

The railroads of this country are ens ploying more persons than ever before in their history According to statis- tics in the report of the interstate com merce commission there were 594 rail- road employees for every hundred miles of tracks last year, and there were1 ,189,- f315 employees altogether, reports the New York Sun.
 In the year before there were only .1,071 ,169 railroad employees, and the av- craze was only 548 for every hundred miles of line, so that independently of the increase in mileage the number of workers employed has increased 46 for each hundred miles of line.
 Since these statistics were collected there has been correspondingly large increase in the number of employees, if railroad statistics are to be believed, so that the number of men on the railroad payroll in this country is considerably over a million and a quarter.
 The good times and the extension inn provements set on foot by the railroad companies as the result of their pros perity are responsible for this increase in employment. Eight years ago the number of railroad workers was only Al for every hundred miles, so that should return to that standard be pos isible it would mean the laying off of 812,000 workers, to say nothing of the consequent reduction in the wage @tandards

SOME USES OF BoRAx.
Serves Instead of Soap i'm Cleansing Handkerchiefs and Fine
 Fabrics.


 Tn sudden hoarseness or loss of voice from colds relief may be obtained by dis solving and partially swallowing a lump of borax the size of pea, says Woman's Home Companion. Borax may be dusted on scald or wet burned surface. It Is nice for cleaning the teeth and to sweet en the breath, and little added to hard water renders it much nicer for bathing purposes. Equal parts of powdered or ris root, borax, prepared chalk and one sixth as much soap make fine denti- frice. There is no better remedy for dandruff than wash of one ounce each of borax and camphor to 15a pints of cold water. Scurf may be removed from the baby's head by rubbing on a little borax, and then washing with soap and water. Use one tablespoonful of borax to one gallon of water for washing wool en fabrics; it makes a better father when dissolved in hot water. For wash ing silk handkerchiefs and gloves borax may be used instead of soap. It is also nice for cleaning hafrbrushes. When meat is ready to hang up, wash itin wa ter as hot as you can bear it on your hands, then carefully cover the flesh side with powdered borax, and you will not be trouble with bugs or worms.

Treatment of Cramp.

Many persons of both sexes are trou~ b4ed with cramps in one or both of the legs. It usually comes on suddenly, and while it lasts the pain is acute. Most people jump out of bed-the cramp near ly always comes on just after going to bed or while undressing-ande either rub their legs themselves or get some one else to do it for them. There is nothing easier than to overcome the spasms, and the method suggested is as follows: Provide good strong cord-a long gar ter will do if nothing else is handy. When the cramp comes on take the cord, wind it round the leg, over the place in which the pain is felt, and take one end in each hand and give it sharp pull one that will hurt little. The cramp will cease instantly, and the sufferer can so to bed assured that it will not come again that night.

TAN-TI, THE GREAT.
Little Dog of PatrIcian Ancestry That Was Brought to This Country
 from China.

ssYes,. indeed, he belongs to the no-' 5ility and the gentry said Miss Helen Jackson as she looked admiringly at ehe microscopic dog that was present. ed to her by Dr. Decker during her re- cent visit to California. This same specimen of the pocket edition variety of dog has excited the envy and ad- miration of every one of Miss Jack sons friends who has beheld his royal highness. reports the Denver Post.
 @Just note the naughty pose of his Rristocraic little black nose and the majestic flourish of what promises in time to be a caudal appendage worth mentioning" said she. "He is as much impressed with his own importance as any viceroy with the peacock feathers and yellow robe of the oriental king dom, where long line of his an cestors have lived for years and years"
 His patrician blood is evinced by numerous fine points and the black ness of his satiny coat is accentuated by the whiteness of his feet. At pres ent he is barely visible to the naked eye, but promises to be fully eight inches long when he gets his growth He answers to the euphonious name of Tan-Ti, which name has probably descended to him through long line of royal dog ancestry. His mother, trembling with fright, was found in the emperor's palace during the siege of Picking, was rescued and brought to California by American sailors. Pinky- Panky-Poo was recently in Denver and had train of admireRs. but the rule of Tan-Ti the Great begins at once in Denver dogdom, and all aspirants for high places must bow to his su- premacy.

English Justice Denounces the Mo-
 tOrtOus Promoters.
 LONDON, Aug. 10.-Attorney Gener- al Finlay has instructed the director of public prosecutions to investigate some of the transactions of Promoter Fl. T. Hooley in connection with the Sapphire corundum mine of Canada. HooIey's meteoric financial career and heavy failure were the sensations of London a few years back. The bankrupt has since been operating in his wife's name and has been living in the greatest lux ury.
 Tn the course of the hearing on Thurs day of suit to recover money paid in connection with the deals, Justice Darl- ing characterized the whole transac- ton by Hooley and his colleagues as fraudulent, and declared it was a grave reflection on the courts of this country that such thing could occur in the middle of London. Thimble rig ging on a race course was a simple crime compared with the transactions of these people with millions instead of peas."
