 The Clown had the fourth all his own way, Yagabond getting the place from Hocus Focus without serious effort.
 The upset of the day was in the fifth event, in which Belmont's Lord of the Vale was at all times hot fayaite.

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 "Luci di Lammermoor. She was
then only 16 years old, but had already
learned to manage her voice, d flute-like
flexible soprano, with extraordinary
skill and taste, and capable critics at
once recognized in the debutante one

long intervals on the musical horizon

ayers, put the s2thusiasm of the public.
This prediction had quick fulfilmoai.
After a short initial engagement in
Philadelphia, Mile. Patti, piloted by
Strakosch, 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 a gold.

AduIterated Dresses.

Public attention Is being directed
to the wholesale manner in which the
materials that keep us warm during
the day, and the blankets which cover
US at night are adulterated.
The silk dress Of the lady of a hun
bred years ago rustled as she moved

fabric; now it rustles with 36 per cent
OF salts of tin used to commercialize it
The lady of the period in her silk dress

EPSON salts, instead of being uset
or medicinal purposes, as formerly, are
now employed, it would appear, fol
loading flannel. The so-called table
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, filed with china
clay 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 Of

the things wear, lays the blame upoI

A Git With Each Ticket.

George Adams, the manager of the
Crystal Theatre of Denver, is operating
his playhouse upon unique lines. For
some time he has given away souvenirs
to all his patrons, some of them of
considerable value. He has now stocked
a large store with about everything
that is needed in housekeeping, and is
issuing trading stamp or coupon with
every ticket to the theater. The value
of each coupon is ten cents and these
trading coupons can be exchanged al
the store for articles ranging from ten
cents to twenty-five dollars.
Mr.. Adams has just imported car
load of dishes from Germany, and he
states that he has, during the winter
already given away, to Crystal Theatel
goers, more than three car loads Of
articles.

FEEDING THE BRIDES.
Made Friends by Hanging Fat Meat
Out for Them in Winter.

Out LOT mem III MIntGrs
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. At
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 gristle. Suet may be put in the
trees this way or the carcass of a
fowl, and blue jays, nuthatches, wood
peckers and chicadees, not to mention
the English sparrows, will visit this
luncheon with delight.
A correspondent writing from Jack
sonville, ILL.,, says: ever since l be-
gan bird study, six years ago, I have
kept winter bird table; and it has
been never-failing source of pleasure
and instruction to me as well as a
help to my bird guests during the bad
| weather. We have an acre of ground
around our home, and fine trees, but
there are streets on all but the north
side, so I chose that side for the bird
table, as it is the most sheltered and
at the same time affords us the best
chance to watch the birds from the
house. began by tying Jumps of suet
up in small trees near the windows
and very soon my guests began to
arrive. Later I devised a plan fol
bringing the suet eaters within closer
range. I fastened a rough stick, two
or three inches In diameter, to the
window shutters, across the window q
little below the middle sash and upor
this stick 1 tied my lump Of suet.
From that time we have had the
pleasure all winter long of watching
our bird neiphN"~s at their luncheon
while sitting at our own dining table
also fastened wooden tray to thu
sill into which we put cracked nut
and chopped suet. The most constan
, visitors were the chickadees and wood
