Symphony Orchestra Popular Concert.

One of the most interesting concerts given
by the Washington Symphony Orchestra
since its first appearance before the Wash
ington public was that given in Chase s
Theater last evening before an audience of
goodly proportions, notwithstanding the I'M
favorable weather. The performance was
the third of the series of popular Sunday
night concerts inaugurated by the orches-
ira at the beginning of the present season,
and that the work of the organization
was thoroughly satisfactory was indicated
by the enthusiastic response of the; audi
tors. The work of the orchestra was par
ticularly pleasing in the execution of Au-
ber's overture to "Cheyal de Bronze and In
the "Gipsy Suite of Edward German
Wagner's "Albumblatt" was interpreted
with splendid artistic effect and with SYM
pathy and feeling. There was noted con-
siderable improvement in the blending of
instruments last evening and the general
upon. .~
Miss Eta Noah was the soioist of the
evening. With sweet soprano voice, capa-
Bile of considerable expression of feeling,
she sang the difficult waltz number from
Gounod's Romeo and Juliet" and BEL
Raggio' from Rossini's ''Semiramide' She
was given most cordial and enthusiastic
reception by the audience.
The announcement made by Mr.. DeKOven
that the concerts will be continued during
the season was greeted with loud applause:
A system of request coupons has been ar
ranged which will enable the manaRement
to get accurate idea of the taste of the
orchestra's audiences

and no message of less than ten words Is
accepted. This also raises protest against
extortion. These are matters of the fndi-
viduals. but in the question of freight rates
there is much louder protest against the
charges and the discriminat atoms of the rail-
way 1t costs $fO0 to buy ticket from
New York to Panama and S105 to buy a
ticket to San Francisco. The time from
Panama to San Francisco is twenty-three
days. Now, twenty-three days board and
lodging for IS is pretty cheap, and though
freight takes only lodging. it is charged
on a somewhat similar basis.
But these and other matters will be ad-
justed. just as the engineering difficulties in
the digging of the waterway will be over
come. In addition to the significance or
the treaty ratification in International poll
tics the meaning of this ratification is that
the canal will be finished. During the car
nivaa of corruption and the wild extrava-
gance of the French company favorite
toast was May the canal always be I'M
der construction and never be finished"
That toast never will be proposed under
the American control.

Calls on the Governor.

All visitors who intend to remain in
Bombay for any length of time are ex-
pected to call upon the governor and his
wife, but 1t is not necessary for them to
drive way out TO Malabar Point for such
a purpose. On a table in the reception
room of the government building down
town are two books in which you write
your name and address, and that is con-
sidered equivalent 70 formal visit One
book is intended exclusively for those who
have been presented" and by signing it
they are reminding his excellency and her
excellency of their continued existence and
notifying them where invitations to dinners
and balls can reach them.
The other book is designed for strangers
and travellers, who inscribe their names
and professions, where they live when they
are at home. how long they expect to be
In Bombay and where they are stopping.
Anybody who desires can sign this book
and the act Is considered equivalent to a
call upon the governor. If he has letter

Cost of Raising Corn.

Inc present low price of corn and
the enormous quantity which is piled
up in bins and warehouses everywhere
in this country is the most emphatic
evidence that corn can DO produced at
very low cost, and it is plain from
the experience of hundreds of corn
raisers that there is a profit i'll produc-
present low prices, for many thous-
ands of farmers have made a good liy-
ing and laid some profit by from their
corn lands.
1t is perfectly true that the man
with small farm, devoted exclusively
to corn raising, can get only q very
precarious living out of ccrn when the
price is under % cents on the farm.
But even the small farmer can assure
himself of a substantial surplus with
the prospect of substantial surplus,
some years, if he devotes part of his
land to raising the products which
he needs for his family, and raises
corn, we'll cultivated and carefully
cared for, on the rest of it.
1t must not be forgotten that the
present low price of corn is due to two
years of very extraordinary yields, and
though this years crop is moderate,
by comparison with those years, the
surplus i'll the country, added to what
was produced this year, makes the sup
ply in the country about as large as
it was ever known to be, and the cost
of production of the corn which most
farmers have on hand at the present
time, must be figured on the basis of
large yields, so that, even at present
low prices, the great bulk of the corn
in the country represents Il good deal
more than what it has cost the farmer
to produce it.

Ice and Cold Storage House.


While many farmers consider an Ice
house luxury that is not for them,
a building such as is shown in the cut
may be erected at small cost, and if
the Ice can be had for the cutting and

Even in sections where ice is scarce
such structure would be worth all it

Maturity of Fowls.

The Leghorns may mature in six
months, but with the larger breeds g.
fowl is not matured if under one yeaI
of age; and it is a settled conclusion
that neither animals nor poultry should
be used for breeding until the SYSTEM
has had time to develop and make
complete growth. Puliets sometimes
begin to lay before they are fully
lnatured. but in such cases their eggs
should not be used for Matching pur-
poses. The use of eggs from pullets
that have not completed their growth
is sure to injure the flock if the prac-
tice is continued for several years.

Short Suggestions.

To scale fish easily, dip them IN
boiling water.
Boiled cabbage is much sweeter
when the water is changed in boiling.
Tough meat may be made tender by
laying it few minutes in vinegar
water.
In baking bread or rolls put a sauce
pan of boiling water into the oven. The
steam will keep the crust smooth and
tender.
Much of the heavy cake and bread
is the result of the oven doors being
banged in closing. 1t should be closed
as gently as possible.
Before beginning to seed raisins COW
stand fifteen minutes. The seeds can
then be removed easily.
Boiling liquids, jelles or fruits may
be turned into glass without breaking
the vessel if you press the bowl of q
spoon on the bottom while filling.
Glass which has grown dull can be
restored to a fairly bright condition by
washing with diluted hydrochloric acid
and afterward rubbing with moistened
chalk or whiting.

of book, damp them with little
