American Singers in Europe.
, Theater Magazine.

From the Theater Magazine.
To most singers who have sought recog-
milton abroad there is but one drawback to
the European career. 1t Is not love of home
that lures them back to the United Statest-
1t ia money 1t looks fine to put de POpera'
or .'de rdeTOpera Comique" ones visit
ing card. as is the habit in Europe, but
there is another side to 1t. Many a debu-
tante has sung at the Opera Comique for
nothing, some have paid and some have had
the magnificent salary of 200 francs month
Gust shy of $40. One Of the most promt-
nent debutantes at the opera saw 5000
francs paid over for her debut, and one Of
those who was there two years as a regular
member of the troupe earned 5000 francs
year (S25 week. and she was considered
favored Cities like Bordeaux often get
debutantes at 500 francs $500 month, and
in theaters Of that sort singers provide their
own costumes. So 1t is small wonder that
having got ones education one wants to
earn money in the United States. The great
wonder is that every one wants q place In
America in the front rank, at very many
dollars a minute, and, lacking that, would
rather stay In Europe on nothing. There is,
of course, an explanation for this. Once
bitten by the pesky microbe of continental
life-well, the disease Is incurable. There
may come Nemesis. Many foreigner
has eyes turned to America and is learning
English, to sing in English opera Only one
thing will save the situation for the Ameri-
cans-the Europeans have not the voices In
the rank and file.

Illegible Prescriptions.


The illegtbility OF many prescriptions can
not, We fear, even In tho eyes of the un-
learned, be attributed entirely to the unac-
customed symbols for drachms and ounces.
Whether the handwriting of the medical
profession as body is worse than that of
any other equally large body of men we do
not know; certainly it's official writings as
evidenced by prescriptions cannot compare
with the clerical productions of the sister
profession of the law. In the latter case,
OF course, business documents are written
largely by persons who have little other
qualification than the possession of a clear
handwriting. Obviously a medical man
cannot carry his own clerk about with him
TO substitute leisurely and legible writing
Tor the hurried characters of the busy med
ical man. SO that the performance of the
lawyers office will always outshine the
scrawl from a patients house. Yet the
matter Is really one admitting of such seri-
GUS accidents that medical men should take
special pains to write clearly
some persons believe that prescriptions
are Dadly written on purpose, that they
may convey no meaning to the patient; that
mis- faith in the medicine, In fact. may not
be interfered with by too close a knowl-
edge OF its constituents Such an object.
however, can be equally well achieved, II
IL Is ever desirable, by substituting elabo-
rate chemical denominations for simple and
more commonly used names OF drugs. AS
matters are at present we have shrewd
suspicion that II Is often only the sagacity

concoct1ng of something far different from
that which the hurried and illegible writing
OF the practitioner intended to convey.

Year by year grows the death roll OF

upon US that peace is more dangerous than

and women engage in such occupations OF

lates Its own answer. They are necessary
to the life OF the civilized world, and neces-
sity knows no law OF safety OF health, or
of anything else. Life to exist must de-

may not choose his occupation; at least
the majority of mankind may not. Fate,

trial martyrs where they are; and only from
age. illness. or accident may they turn TO
some less strenuous, less dangerous, and
always less gainful occupation. Many de-
scend to that sad lot of those who are de-
scribed as having no settled employment

Relic of the Wordsworth Circle.

From the London Saturday Review.
There was laid to rest last week in West
Malvern churchyard a venerable lady, Miss
Elizabeth Hutchinson. who must be the last
direct personal link with the poet Words
worth, having lived with him. and also with
his widow, her farther's sister, at Rydal
Mount She was connected by a close Init
macy and affection with WordSwoTth's fav-
orfte daughter, Dora, or Dorina, who mar
ried Edward Quillinan. Miss Hutchinson
had lived for sixty years at West Malvern,
her brother was the first vicar of the newly
constituted parish of st. James. and Words
worth more than once visited his nephew
and niece at the vicarage. This aged gen.
tlewoman was not only an institution Of
the place, but a kind Of permanent elee-
mosynary providence to any number of IN
dgent bedesmen and bedeswomen; for her
bounties were OF quite a medieval or Ja-
cobean character IN quafntness, simplicity,
regularity and disproportion to her means.
Well in her appeared the ancient custom OF
the antique world. In her eighty-hfth year
she took TO reading, and enjoying, Tenny-
son.
There cannot be many people left who
were intimate with Southey and with the
Coleridges-though Miss Hutchinson had no
recolIections of Samuel Taylor himself She
was always pleased to talk to visitors,
though she grew TO be very deaf, about
far off days and TO show souvenirs of Ryda!
Mount and books given to her by her uncle
and by Southey. with their writing inside.
She, of course, WGs not the Miss Hutchiu-
son who corresponded with Lamb; but she
might have remembered him; and Lamb
oyerlapped Johnson Her uncle, she used to
say, only cared for children in the abstract,
though he took great deal Of trouble 10
make friends with them, and her earliest
recolleetions OF him were those, 20 some ex-
tent, OF alarm. Miss Hutcllinson's life faded
out very calmly, with scarcely q flicker,
and with something OF Wordsworthian
phrase on her itps-'tSunset, and then sum
rise" We are entering on lEtle age, and
any personality which links US to great
one has an interest for us which Is not
merely sentimental.

Atlanta. Ga, Dec. tl.--President
liaryie Jordan Of the Southern Cot
ION Growers Association issued a cir.
oular letter to the farmers of the
south yesterday regarding redue-
duction in cotton acreage for 1906.
The letter says in part:
- F;-s. Southern Cotton Growers AS
ISOLATION will not ask the farmers OF
The south to reduce the cotton acreage
Cor 1906 less than that planted in
1905 The association does ask and
insist with all the force at its com
mand. however, that the acreage plant
ID in cotton throughout the belt in
1906 be not increased during the
planting season Of 1906. Let the
watchword Of every Southern farmer
be eDivrsifIcatlon, and through that
agency produce an abundance of food
supplies to maintain each farm.
;The present estimated 27,OOO,OoO
acres planted in cotton is sufficient
under normal climatic conditions to
produce enough cotton to meet The
demands of spinners for the AmeTi-
can staple Any material Increase in
the cotton acreage for 1906 will tend
to stagnate the cotton market and
depress prices below their Legitimate
value The legitimate laws Of supply
and demand is the only true medium
OF regulating fair and legitimate
prices for our great staple product
President Jordan closes the letter
With a strong appeal to the farmers
10 plant an abundance of small grain.

TO raise more hay, cattle, hogs etc
that the farmers may become more

cheathan. secretary Of the Southern
Cotton Growers Association, issued

Of the South yesterday in which he
urges them to hold for l5c cotton. lie
says in part:
"The cotton growers Of the South,

their organization, the Southern Cot,
ton Growers Association, are slowly
but surely winning the greatest com.
mercial battle ever known to the

"On September Z the association adj
yised the farmers to ask lie for their
cotton as conditions fully warranted
that price. Many fixed that price and
sold for It.
Now on December the fact that
the crop is very short one has been
established beyond a shadow Of o
doubt, and only small remnant of
that left unsold, also that the markets
are bare of dry goods, with future
prices formally advanced, cotton mills
loaded down with contracts and orders
for goods for several months ahead
and only with about one-half enough
cotton in sight to fill them. Will they
pay l5c for cotton? Why OF course
they will, w. you ask 1t. II you do
