BIG DRUM IN THE ORCHESTRA.
IL IL One of the Most Familiar ana
Important Features of the
Shows.

Few persons realize it, but the mar
who beats the big drum in the orches-
ira is one of the most important mem
bers of the musical aggregation" sa.d
an attache OF one Of the local theaters
to writer In the New Orleans Times
Democrat, "and as a matter of fact we
could not get along without him at this
day and time. While the drum is one OF
the most ancient of musical instru-
ments, being positively primitive. It In
yet, even in this advanced age, one OF
the most useful. Men were beating on
the tightly stretched hides Of wild ami
mails and getting a sort Of music out OF
it long before they had learned to blow
the simpler melodies out of hollow reeds.
The drum idea came into existence
long before men ever dreamed Of
footing horns. Humping on a coon
skin, or skin of some other kind. was
the only music of great many primitive
peoples, and even now this kind of music
is played while some of the island tribes
go through their ceremonial dances.
But was thinking of the great use
to which the drum is put nowadays In
theatricals. We could not get along
without 1t and as a result the drummer

his money. You have no doubt observed
that in performances Of a certain kind
the drummer is very much in evidence.
Take the special stunt of the sort we
find In vaudeville, comical stage falls.
dances. any kind of turn where there is
violent and sudden change, and you
will find that the drummer will play an
important part. He Is the man who
marks the time Of the change. He al
ways hits the drum at the right time.
He is in perfect accord with the per-
former. 1t takes man of some talent to
do this. You have no idea of the trouble
we have in finding men who can do this
work as we would like to have 1t. II has
developed into quite an art, this busi-
ness TO tapping the drum at the right
time, and hence we experience some
trouble In getting men to do the work
Just as We would have It done.
That's why We are forced to pay the
drummer a good salary. He is an I'm
portant person in the orchestra, and
don't you make any mistake about Il.

public may overlook him, but you can

HOW MEN COOK IN CAMP.
The Work Of NOvices in the Culinary
Art Is Sometimes an Inter-
esting Procedure.

Various echoes from the camp reach
me. Frequently am consulted about
the cooking, and am asked to furnish
recipes. One year my fisherman
espired to flannel cakes. There was no
reason, he said, why they should not
add this dainty to their fare, especially
since it was so easily made. He wrote
out the directions-four, eggs, milk, soda
carefully. The sequel heard later,
says a writer in Forest and Stream.
Toward the end Of the week, when
the campers were little tired Of the
fishing, apd probably Of each other,
they decided the time had come for
the flannel cakes. 1t was about three
o'clock in the afternoon, and they start
ed at once to get them ready. One man
went for milk to the farmhouse on
the bill, and while waiting my fisher
man measured out the -four into an
eight-quart bucket. Instead Of the two
quarts called for in the recipe, he took
they did not have eight eggs he took
FIVE. and-think Of this, ye cooks!-
broke them right into the -four and
proceeded to stir the mixture until the
milk arrived. He then added the
milk and other ingredients, and kept q
man stirring all the rest of the day to
get out the Jumps, which, 1t is I'M
necessary to add, could not have been
stirred out In an eternity. They tell me
there was a man on the road coming or
going for milk for two hours, and that
when they finally desisted from beating
the mixture, there was as much Of the
batter on the outside Of the bucket and
on the gallant cooks themselves as in
the bucket. Then they baked the bat
ter in an iron pan and had supper, and
were thankful to find themselves alive
the next morning. Verify, cooks are
born, not made.
At another time kinsman aspired to
make an omelet, another very simple
thing. He took his directions from Mrs.
Rorer, learned them by heart, and kept
repeating them over and over. Give
seven beats Of the fork" They tell me
he said It at last In his sleep. The
opinion, however, was unanimous that
he must have given eight beats OF
spoiled it some other way, but all agreed
nobody had been In any danger Of dying
from the effects, for nobody had been
able to eat 1t. They had better sue
cess with Saratoga potatoes, and, I
Judge, learned to cook several things
pretty well-trout, coffee, ham, pota-
toes, eggs. Many times during the long
winter, when the blissful summer days
seem very far off, they pine for a cup
OF the coffee they made while camping.

GOODS DEPARTMENT and each and every lady
in this city--in this county, we BELIEVES now talk

here, they know the treatment they get, and they
know the quality of the goods; they know they never
had the opportunity Of buying anything better; they
know they are getting the newest that comes from the
mills. They know that they can look at all the fash
ion plates and come here and find what the fashion
plate tells them about. They don't have to be salts
fed with one or two kinds, but they can find most
anything they want. Our Cloak Department has at
tracted widespread attention. Our cloaks for ladies
and misses are Beauties, perfect filters, where taste
and skill are required to make them, as we do not pur-
chase anything here that goes through the sweat shops
of New York and down in the New England states,
we buy them direct where expert tailors do the work
you get the benefit of our knowledge in buying and
the best makers Judgment in making. When you buy
cloaks and wraps from Vermilyea, whether it is for
yourself or the girls, here you can buy what you will
not be ashamed of when you go out in society. Lad
les cloaks we are selling at about the price of child
ren's cloaks elsewhere, and children's cloaks cost but
little if anything in this big store.

Farmers should not waste 50 much
as a postage stamp on ginseng or the
fakirs who try to sell them the roots.
Ginseng is root much desired by the
heather Chinese, who imagine that 1t
has curative powers. It's habitat is I'M
der the forest cover in humid climates.
It can be cultivated with sufficient care
and expense under proper condition,
but 1t 10 doubtful whether 1t can be
got to grow In California at all. 1t re-
quires about five years to raise crop,
at which time I'm this state 1t would
probably be stolen, as it Is quite val
liable when finally raised. The best
ginseng is said to be raised In Korea
for the Chinese market. Those going
into the trade must therefore be pre-
pared to compete with Monaghan labor
In Monaghan markets, which we assure
them will be found impossible except
to those ready to conform to the Mon
golian standard of life. Ginseng roots
sell at high prices because it costs so
abominably to produce them, even in
the most favorable locations, and no
one can even guess the cost Of the stuff
when grown in the dry climate Of Cal
ifornia-if 1t can be grown here. Let

vegetable Rock Builders.
The vegetable rock builders are found
in the ooze which covers the marine
plants drawn up from the bottom OF
the sea. As shown by the microscope,
they are seen to consist of zigZag links
or boxes, attached at their corners.
These vegetable forms, so minute as to
be invisible TO the human eye, have
the power OF secreting the elements
Of flint or silica from the water In
which they live. They are very Curl
ously marked, and there are many va
rieties of them. 1t will be seen that In
their structure the lines of beauty have
not been forgotten. The city of Ber-
lin was built on an immense bed of the
remains OF these minute vegetable
forms, and the unstable foundations of
the houses il due to this fact. They
are so small that one of them is but
the seventy millionth part OF grain.
They increase by subdivision, one be-
ing capable of increasing to million
by this process in twenty-four hours.
Their method of building is simply by
living and then dying and leaving their
hinty skeletons to form the solid rock
They block up rivers, give the green
tinge to the Arctic ocean, form a white
stone which has been found in masses
800 miles long and 500 feet thick, and
the clouds of dust which are blown
from the desert are made up Of them.
