PiSTACHIOS IN AMERICA.

Seeding Plants Are to BE Cultivated
In Colorado.
1t Will not be long before the young
women who delight to make candies
for the visiting young men will be able
to add to their home products the ex-
pensive and highly priced pistachio
cream. which is the pride Of Maillard
and Huyler in New York and all the
other great candy makers of America.
says Denver special dispatch to the
Chicago Record Herald.
And this Is why the pistachio nut,
the choicest and most costly that
reaches the American market, is to be
grown in Colorado, it having been dis
covered that a profitable rate Of pro-
duction can be had in New Mexico,
Colorado, Utah and southern Nevada.
Having learned that pistachios grow
wild in central Asia, where the winters
are quite severe, the promoters of the
plant Introduction garden Of Chico,
Cal, with the cooperation Of the Office
Of seed and plant introduction and dis
trlbution at Washington. have grown
a large number Of seeding pistachlos,
and these will be distributed among
the various localities where the nut
may be grown, Colorado coming in for
a considerable share.
The pistachios grown In California
are Of excellent color and flavor, and II
has been ascertained that nuts Of SINH
lar nature thrive better in Colorado
than In California and at maturity are
Of superior quality. One Of the first Of
the Colorado pistachio orchards will be
established In the San Luis valley, an
other will be near Longmont, while
still another Will be planted in the
Boulder creek valley.

AS to who would inherit the Bailey

Hearst of course, would get some Of

enough in instructed delegations to
make a combination with the Bailey

in any event, the Nebraskan probably

The adorable Patti.

The famous Adelina Patti, always
young, despite her years, first appeared
in 1859, at the New York Academy OF
Music. She was brought forward under
the direction of her kinsman and mas
ter, Maurice Strakosch, in the title role
OF "Luct di Lammermoor." She was
then only 16 years old, but had already
learned to manage her voice, flute-like
flexible soprano, with extraordinary
skill and taste, and capaDIe critics at
once recognized in the debutante one
of those rare singers who appear at
long intervals on the musical horizon
to revive not only the hopes Of man
ayers, but the enthusiasm of the public.
This prediction had quick fulfllment.
After u short initial engagement in
Philadelphia, Mile. Patti. piloted by
embarked on a concert tour
which ended at New Orleans, whence
she sailed for London where she may
be said to have fairly begun career,
which, like her art, must remain long
unique in lyric annals. Thereafter for
upward of 40 years. she held first place,
and during the greater part of that
time. she was not only a sweeter, but
a better singer than any other woman
in the world. Her name lends gold

days of opera in America

AduIferated Dresses,

Public attention IS being directed
to the wholesale manner in which the
materials that keep us warm during

Us at night, are adulterated.

on account of the genuincness Of the
fabric; now it rustlcs with So per cent
Of salts of tin used to commercializc 1t.
The lady of the period in her silk dress
is, indeed, sort of woman in armor."
EPSON salts, instead Of being used
OF medicinal purposes, as formerly, are
now employed, it would appear, for

linen of today Is not pure linen, such
as delighted the hearts of the house
wives of olden times but is made
largely of cotton, filled with china
Lay and starch. So, too, collars are
often of cotton merely faced with linen.
In word, nearly every kind of fabric
sold, is adulterated in some form or
other, and the public, in blissful 1gnor-
ance of the truth, finding how poorly
The things wear, lays the blame upon
he iaundryman, the dyer or the
cleaner, instead of upon the real cuI-
prit, the manufacturer.

George Adams, the manager of the
Crystal Theatre of Denver, is operating

cents to twenty-five dollars.
Mr. Adams has Just imported a car
load of dishes from Germany. and ne

already given away, to Crystal Theater
goers. more than three car loads OF
articles.

FEEDING TIE BRIDES.
Made Friends by Hanging Fat Meat
Out for I hSm in Winter.

Bird Lore, in its notes on winter
feeding of wild birds gives a number
of methods for such feeding that may
be easily employed by any kindly per
son with the greatest satisfaction. Al
this time of year birds, like domestic
fowls, appreciate fat food. Soup bones
after they have served their purpose
in the kettle, may be hung in a tree
or elsewhere so that cats may not get
at the feathered visitors. Here the
birds will pick away every bit of meat
and Eristle. Suet may be put in the
trees this way or the carcass OF
fowl and blue jays, nuthatches, wool
peckers and chicadees, not to mention
