NEWS IN BRIEF
A Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by Caucasian Representative.

Many years ago a Scottish medica
man, DR.. Clouston, visited this country
and said: You Americans wear too
much expression on your faces. You are
living like an army with its reserves en-
gagged in action.
The duller countenances of the British
population betoken better scheme of
life. They suggest stores of reserved
nervous force to fall back upon, if any
occasion should arise that requires it.
This inexcitability, this presence at all
times of power not used, regard as the
greatest safeguard of the British people
You really do carry too much expression
you take too intensely the trivial mo-
ments of life
Americans who stay in Europe long
enough to get accustomed to the spirit
that reigns and expresses itself there,
50 unexcitable as compared with ours.
make similar observation when thev
return to their native shores. They find
a wlld-eyed look upon their compatriots'
faces, either Of too desperate eagerness
and anxiety or of too in.ersc responsive
ness and good will.

Action seems to follow feeling, but
really action. and feeling go together
and by regulating the action, which is
under the more direct control of the
will, we can indirectly regulate the feel
ing. which is not. 1t would seem, then,
that the sovereign voluntary path to
cheerfulness is to sit up cheerfuly, and
to ctand speak as if cheerfulness were
really there. Following the same line
OF thought. we might argue that to feel
brave, act as if we were brave, use all
our will to that end and courage will re-
place fear. Again, in order to feel
kindly toward a person to whom we
have been unfriendly, the only way is to
be pleasant. to make sympathetic .nqui-
rles and to force ourselves to saw pleas
ant things. To wrestle with bad feel
ing only pins our. attention on it, and
keeps it still fastened in the mind;
whereas. if we act as if from some bet
ter feeling, the old bad feeling will soon
fold its tent like an Arab and silently
steal away.

Madame Johanna Gadski, who ha
been for the last nine years one of tn
tavorlte Wagnerlan sopranos of tn
Metropolitan Opera Company, has ius
completed her first American trans-con
tlnental tour in concert and song recital
She left the Metropolitan forces bv rea
son of what she believed to be a breac1
of contract on the part of Mr.. Conreid
and also refused a brilliant offer from
Henry ". Savage to sing Kundry r
| the production of "Parsifal" in English
| IN order that nothing should interfere
with her plan for an entire season o1
concerts. The event has more than ms
tilted her decision for the success of the
tour has been phenomenal. Even more
than IN grand opera, the concert plat
form has emphasized the rare dramatic
and lyric qualities of Madame Gadski's
beautiful voice, as we'll as her versatility,
high artistic attainments and great per-
Sonal charm. Including nearly one hun
dred concerts, her tournee from New
York. where she sang with the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, to San Francisco,
has been one continuous triumph.
In 1894, Mr.. Walter DamroSch heard
Madame Gadski sing at the Royal Opera
HOUSE in Berlin, and immediatel voffered
her most fattering engagement in the
United States. Her American debut
was made early in the next year, in the
role of Elsa in 'Lolengrin.' In 1903 she
became a member of the Grau Opera
Company at New York. When Grau
retired, in the spring of 1903 Madame
Gadski accepted all offer from Heinrich
Conreid, the successor OF Mr.. Grau at
the Metropolitan opera house.
Besides her American engagements,
Madame Gadski appeared for three sue
cessive seasons at Covent Garden, Lon
don, and also sang Eva in the Meister-
singer performances at Bayreuth in the
summer of 1890

Of the ConfederateS from that State who

the last to hold out against the Federal
