NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
Ana Entertained French Opera Sing CTS fin the Streets of New
 Orleans.

The French opera singers were specta- tors of picturesque street scene a night or two ago in the vicinity of the old French opera house. says the New Or leans Times-Democrat. Bourbon street was being paved with asphalt, and the work was being hastened so as to have that portion of the street near the opera house accessible for carriages by th< time of the opening of the French or era season.
 On this account an unusually large force of workmen were engaged, and in order to push the work to an early comr pletion the men worked at night, huge torches being used. In one block, be- tween St. Louis and Toulouse streets, hore than 100 men were working.
 Every one familiar with the negro knows that. in so far as he is able. he sets his work to music. It is fact often marveled at that the negro, when he is singing or chanting in sort of rhythmic mood, works with more ardor than under different conditions. And if an extra de- mand is made on the negro workman he sings or chants the louder.
 The members of the French opera, of at least many of them, heard for the first time the real melody of the negro voice that night. It was that swishful, poetic thing caricatured in the ragtime of the stage, certain subtle, indefnable some thing which no composer has ever been able to fit to the well-measured octaves of musical arrangements. It was the tuneful, heaving call of the levee, the mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields. The flaring torch, the bustling hither and thither, the heavy fall of the implements of toil-all those things gave exquisite tone to the setting.

GOVERNMENT BEES.
asy Insects Belonging to the Agri- cultural Department Swarm
 to Market.

Doubtless the only members of the
 overnment's gigantic force of em-
 loyes who goto work before nine o'clock
 m. and continue toiling until sun
 own are the Italian bees kept by the de-
 artment of agriculture These, the
 mallest of our domestic animals, are kept by the department for experimental purposes and for stocking its various
 Sbstations, says the Washington Post SoaRe time ago these government bees 6hs pvered that Center maket was . tar letter pasture than the flower beds and Vegetable gardens of the depart melx and there they resort every day. to natsmall discomfort and annoyance of eomnv vssion dealers, hucksters, gard ners Ind restaurant proprietors, whose stock tn trade the industrious little In. sects p ey upon.
 In sd he cities the rats and mice are trouble}pme. and in others crickets. grain Insects, and various other bugs prey uEon tho perishables, but Center market is the only market in the United States where the most serious pest is the insects which belong to the government. They eat holes in the peaches, poach on the grapes, gather honey from cante- loupes, and are the flrst to find the soft spots in pineapples and bananas. What Is more. there are about Center market q number of open-air eating booths, tc which the bees resort in large numbers to collect honey from various sweet dishes, particularly apricot, apples. peach, prune and huckleberry pie. The funny part of 1t all is that the commis- sion dealers, fruit handlers and res taurant Keepers are afraid to offer any opposition to their intrusion for fear the plucky little insects will resent 1t.
 Hardly . week passes that some ons does not get stung by the government. bees, who object to rough handling and treatment. With the juice and wax which they collect from apples, melons peaches, oranges, pineapples, grapes. bananas and pies in the market, they lay up their store of winter honey. The only time the restaurant keepers are able to even up with these little pests is when they have batch of hot pies or bread pudding on hand. They it hap pens occasionally that some over-hasty government bee gets his feet scorched. Tn such cases they hover about the piea until they have cooled of, now and then alighting on the crust to test the tom perature of the tempting bait.

4 "sHoWERPRooF" CLOTH.
Germans Treat Ordinary Materials with Petroleum-Curious Aquatic
 Displays in Tailors' Windows.

It has usually been thought that rubber was about the only substance which would render cloth waterproof, although oil silk is coated with another one, a prep aration of linseed oil. However, 1showerproof' cloth is known as that which repels water very largely and yet remains porous, appearing in all respects like or diary wetable cloth. The methods of treatment of such cloth ar4 often trade secrets, and even the patent specifications do not d. vulge all that must be done to achieve a satisfactory result.
 "Petroleum," a German period. ical, says that the oil to which that paper owes its name is one of the most successful showerproof preparations. It says that the only reliable shower proof is ob- tained by impregnating the cloth outside and in with a fine film of waxes. Paraf1n wax is the staple, but owing to its low melting point 1t is not fit for use alone. The com position used is so alloyed with other waxes and chemicals thatat the boiling point of water the wax stands firm. A rather elaborate preparatory form must be gone through, and after the wax has been applied finishing process is required. The interesting fact re- mains that 1t is petroleum that keeps out the wet. In tailors' win aows in Germany many aquatic displays have been arranged to show that cloth can mysteriously be made to exhibit the power of the ducks back. Wool, cotton, silk, linen, velvets, braids, and even sails, awnings and tent cloths are thus wrapped in an in. visible film of rock oil.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser's Subjects at Present Residing in
 South America.

German migration to SOutn America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically a cause of com- ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest. For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not we'll founded. One such reason is that the number of Germans in Brazil is not, after all, ominous- ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 17,000,000, of which number less than 3,000,000 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14,000,OO0 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,700,000 were immigrants, and of the latter number only 300,000 were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti. mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 45O,OO0, or lit tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer- ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in certain states as to form a ma- jority of their population, as some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 100000, so that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha- rina the Germans are 100000 in a total of 30O,OOO, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,000 in 2SO,0OO, and in Sac Paulo 30,. 900 in 1,430,0O0.
 It is pointed out as ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub. fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. We'll, the same may be said of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit- ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in. creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid.

Suffering Will Not Help Your Disease, but Will Weaken Your
 Nerves.

Folks who think it Is better to bear pain than soothe it-are wrong.
 Old-fashioned doctors used to say 1t was better, because they had nothing with which to ease pain but dangerous, heart-paralyzing drugs.
 But now, that a safe remedy has been found, Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, it is wrong to suffer. for nothing can be gained but weakened nerves.
 A safe rule to remember is: When in pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill.
 This will soothe your quivering nerves.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain by restoring the natural secretions, in which they differ from opium and sim liar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain by checking the action of the glands.
