ENTERTAINM ENTS.
Hyperion Theater.


 Carmen will be given by the Metro-
 politan Opera company at the Hyperion
 on Friday night, April P, at o'clock An exchange says: "Calve had her
 triumph last night. She sang Carmen" and there was a great radiant climac- teric night of the opera season. With out going into monotonous figures on attendance it can only be said that all the people were in the Nixon theater who could get in. Calve was in splendid mood, and the rest of the cast, even the chorus and the ballet, was in accord with her.
 It was evidently the popular night of the opera season. Everybody knows "Carmen" and everybody who knows it
 knows how Calve plays the tempestuous
 heroine of Bizet's work. The musical massiveness of the Wagnerian opening
 had it's certain admirers and the rarely heard and classically antique Magic Flute" was fine food for the musically cultured palate; but for popular enthu- siasm it takes the toreador song, the lssome fascination of Calve and the dramatic fervor of Carmen
 Seats are now on sale. Prices $5, $4, $3, $2, $1.50.
 Ward & Vokes' new musical frolic for this, their twentieth year as fun makers for the American people, will be known as "A Pair of Pinks.'' It is in two acts, one of which is a prison scene. This set presents the private jail in which the Two Pinks" incarcerate their vic- tim, for, be it known, "Pinks" in this instance means Pinkerton's. Ward and Vokes are to show us two very wise detectives in their new vehicle, and their jail will be found to be the plot of the place. Ping-pong rooms, automo- bile rooms and billiard cells are n pro- fusion, and the conviets are catered to as guests would be in a swelll summer hotel. Every now and then the inhab- itants of this unique institution break forth in gladstone song, accompanied by the bewildering dances which belong to the characters, and then it is that the audience will be glad that they are there. Fifty-five people are employed in the "Pinks,' including a big chorus of more than forty The music is en- tirely new. "A Pair of Pinks' with Ward & yokes will be seen here at the Hyperion on Saturday at the bargain matinee and at night. Seat sale Thurs
 day. Prices, 25c., 50c., at the bargain matinee, and at night 25c., 50c., 75c., and $1.OO.
 The Frank L. Perley Opera company, over hundred strong, are going to play return engagement in the come dy opera, "A Venetian Romance" at the Hyperion next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, April 26 and 27. Since the opera was seen here a month ago, it has been entirely rewritten and the plot is now said to unfold highly diverting story with an increase of hu- morous situations and to provide for
 the introduction of many special fea-

Preserving the Pork.

find that nearly every recipe for the
preservation of pork that has been
given recently in our farm paper con-
tains a certain quantity of saltpeter
Now, one of the chemical truths that I
learned during my schooldays was that
much OF the nutritive value of meat is
destroyed by the chemical action Of
salt and saltpeter and that the nitric
acid absorbed by the meat is largely
responsible for the diseases common to
marines and others who subsist prin-
cipally upon salt meats Among these
diseases / might mention scurvy. sore
gums, decayed teeth. ulcers, etc. I
doubt If the effects OF saltpeter are SO
pernicious as represented, since so
many good people advocate it's use,
but fer one am resolved to steer clear
Of It. I fRd that sugar is a good sub
stitute and renders the meat swseter
and more wholesome and is equally
COED as a preservative.-John jackson.

A FALLACY ABOUT SOIL.
The Idea That 1t Soon Wears Out
Is Declared Not Scientific
Or True.

The idea that soil soon wears OUT
is not scientific or true. Soil may be
exhausted so that it cannot Srow good
crops of grain, traits and vegetables,
but this implies a regular practice of
taking from the sou some OF It's plant
food elements each year, and OF put
ting nothing bac6 IL the soil in the
form OF manure, says Prof. j. l..
Doren.
Where anything at al approaching
balance of taking from and giving
back is practiced. the soil is indie
structable. Where the taking and Civ
Ing are just equal. the soil remains at
one level of productive capacity, no
matter how long it may be cropped.
Where the taking exceeds the giving,
no matter how slightly, the soil must
lose in productive capacity, and ex-
haustion is only question of time.
Where the giving exceeds the taking.
however slightly, the soil grows rich
er and richer the longer it is cropped.
In some European countries, as Hol-
land, Belgium, Denmark. Germany and
England, land that has been cropped
for centuries is richer now than 1t was
; hundreds of years ago. The farmers
! have recognized the scientific necessity
OF giving little more than they take.
AT least they have not committed the
error Of taking more than they give.
In China there are vast areas of
garden soil that have grown crops for
5000 to 5000 years, and support
svarnins millions of people These
lands. according to the reports Of
travellers, are surprisingly fertile after
Thousands of years OF service, and to-
day they are producing crops that ara
simply amazing to farmers accustomed
to the take-all and sive-nothins
methods that prevail in some coun-
i tries
Farmers may draw freely upon their
soil so long as they return to it all
that part of it's produce which they do
not sell or consume with the addition
| of some commercial fertilizer to as
sure the maintenance of the balance
( of the plant-food elements in il. The
| soil can hardly be worn out or de-
! stroyed. The worst that even the
worst farming can do to it is to- use
| up its available plant food. Even then
1t still retains plant food elements
and when those elements are made
| available the soil will return to the
| work of production.
| American farmers. like the farmers
l in ali other new and wide countries

| they are coming to the true idea OF
farming. 1t is high time to make a
general improvement in farming
methods, and the soil will promptly
respond to the coming changes in
practice.

All lice breed rather rapidly. The

In about six to ten days they hatch into

commence to irritate the birds. The

BIG STUDENTS RAMPAGE.


While Intoxicated Insults Ladies and
Has a Violent Time With Police.
Frank H. strohn, a student in the
Yale Law school and giant in stature,
who comes from western New York,
while intoxicated last evening made
things lively in the Dixwell avenue pre-
cinct. It is alleged he went to the res
idence of Leroy C. Whiting, SO DixwelI
avenue. He addressed Mrs. Ella Whit
ing and her sister like this, the police
say: Ladies, / want to come in and
drink a bottle of wine with YOU Mrs.
Whiting, seeing the mans condition
and trying to pacify him SO as to avoid
trouble, said: I'VE do not drink wine,
nor do we have any in the house 1t
is claimed that Strohn said: That's all
right; want to come In"
Mrs. Whiting telephoned to Sergeant
McGrath at the Dixwell avenue station
and he sent Sergeant Bowers to the
house. When the sergeant arrived there
he found Strofn and told him that he
would have to get out. Strohn COM
menced to swear and fight ensued.
Sergeant Bowers back was injured,
but he managed to arrest his man, who
is charged with trespass and resisting
an officer.
