rum Filled With Audience Which
Enjoys Varied Program

The entertainment for the benefit of
the families of the sufferers from the
mining disaster near Paris was given
under the auspices of the French con-
sui, Mr.. Fusenot, last night at Dobin-
son auditorium and was pecuniary
and artistic success.
NJ. Jean de Chauvenet was tie first
soloisi and played a List rapsodie
with perfect repose and artistic effect.
Following was an Evolutionary num-
ber by A. de Rostaing, which repre-
sented a miner with his lamp working
in the mines of France. The crash
came and all are doomed with the in
evltable fate. This was accompanied
on the piano by M. de ChauVenet, who
composed the dramatic accompani-
ment.
A pleasing feature of the evening was
the singing of the Euterpean quartet,
of which ]. P. Dupuy was the leading
tenor; F. e. Nay, second tenor; L.
cinnamon, baritone, and F. w. Wal
lace, basso. The singing of M. Dupuy
Is always pleasing and his artistic ef-
forts were the pleasure of all.
Mile. Germaine Fusenot wore a
French embroidered batiste over pale
blue silk and recited beautiful poem
by Victor Hugo with enticing grace
and charming imagination. The poem
with the eloquence with which she
spoke the various lines. Nine. Sey-
mour and Mile. Fusenot sang duet
accompanied by Mile. Marguerite Crot,
who is as charming with her beauty as
with her playing.
Nine. Collette sang Hal lulh, by
Coquard, which brought much re-
sponse. Mime. Collette has a voice of
beautiful quality.

grace and delicate irony was admir-
ably spoken by M. Fusenot. NJ, Andre
Roseyrol is always a favorite with his
gifts as an elocutionist. Mrs. Low
sang a romance by Thomas and re-
sponded to the applause with an en-
core. M. jacquard, who was formerly
professor of the University of Paris,
deserves much credit for his efforts in
giving such entertainments.

Messrs. Sparton and Flowing prtded
themselves upon being the best jew
e.ers in town. They were very go
ahead firm; and in their window the
latest novelties in watches and clocks
could always be seen.
One morning Mr.. Flowing, the junior
partner, began to dance round the
shop, excitedly pointing to q parcel
which lay open on one of the glass;
covered showcases.
What have you now?" said Mr..
Sparton.
IT'S the Photographic watch" said
the junior partner, excitedly; 1T will
sell like blazes."
Il have never sold any blazes," said
the senior partner with a reproving
frown-"let me see those talking tick
ers.'"
The partners undid the wrappers In
which some Is watches were encased.
They looked very harmless, and had
the stupid, over-conscientious look OF
the ordinary watch.
They are all going" said Mr.. Spar
ton, after he had put each to his
ear.
1T is ten minutes to nine," said Mr.
Flowing; in ten minutes we shall
hear them speak. believe one con-
tains the voice of Mr.. Roosevelt and
one line spoken by Ada Rehan."
The partners then arranged the
watches in two rows upon the desk,
and anxiously awaited the hour. AS
the big clock over the shop began to
| wheeze preparatory to striking, tiny
little voice was heard to proceed from
cne of the mild-looking watches on the
| desk.
Nine. Your father has gone down
to breakfast" it said, in the quiet, sub
Gued tones OF trained servant.
"A schoolhoy's holiday watch, sup

logue.

All Kings Looked Alike to Him.

An American admiral, cruising In
the Mediterranean, dropped anchor In
the Bay of Naples, near the private
yacht of the king of Italy. After an
exchange of salutes, the king sent
word that he would visit the American
vessel So all hands were set to work
preparing for the royal visitor. He
came on board attended by his suite,
all attired in the very snowy uniform
of the Italian army. The admiral as
signed to each gorgeously uniformed
visiting officer one of his own to act
as guide, and did the honors in person
by showing the king about the vessel.
Presently he felt his sleeve furtively
plucked from behind, and turning, saw
one of his boatswains in evident agi-
tation. We'll, what is it, Jack?' said
the admiral please, sir" was the
answer, in a stage whisper, please.

inches as the best depth at which corn
should be planted. 1t will be noted
that he paid particular attention to
the first two sets of roots. After de-
scribing his work and the object that
he had in mind, he concludes:
To further test the matter, cor
respondent of the Prairie Farmer re-
large number of grains at depths of
one, two and three inches. AS the
object of this test was not to follow
the roots in their ramifications, but
merely to note the depths at which
the first two sets of rOOtS-about
which We hear so much-would start
under different depths of covering.
the plants were allowed to attain a
height of about six inches. when the
first ring of lateral surface roots was
we'll started, and they were taken up
and examined. A fair average plant
representing each of the three depths
of planting was sketched from life.
Fig. l represents the one-inch plant
ing, with first set Of lateral roots start
ing directly above the seed grain and
scarcely more than half an inch below
the surface Fig. 2 shows the early
results of two-inch planting, the lat
erals about midway between the seed
and surface. Fig. illustrates the
three-inch planting, laterals practical
ly same distance from surface as in
two-inch planting, the connecting
stem below these being necessarily
much longer. The fact that the lat
erals in Figs. 2 and 8 started deeper
than in Fig. l shows that up to Ger.
tain limit the depth of planting does
not affect the depth at which the
laterals start. But as Fig. shows
no advantage in this regard over Fig.
2, we may safely opine that medi-
um depth of planting will cause the
laterals to start as deep down as
deep planting, and is, therefore, ad-
visable.
