XII A BOHEME' will open the grand
opera season at the Auditorium
- theater tomorrow night for the
second week. The opera is one of the
most modern of the Italian operas, hav-
ing first been produced in Turin in 1896
Puccin, the composer, has caught the
feeting, careless pirit of Henri Murger's
classic study and has written an opera
around it that thrills the listener, max
ing 1t one of the most beautiful of all the
Italian operas.
A superb cast will present this opera.
1t will bring to light a very fascinating
soprano, Lini Bertozzi. who in San Fran
cisco made one of the biggest hits for
the company as Mimi, she being especial
ly engaged and brought to this country
to sing this role. AS Mimi she Is said to
have no rivals. The Leading lyric tenor,
Angelo Parola. will be heard to gobd adj
vantage as Rodofo. For the part of
Marcello our friend of the Lambardi
company of last year, Pacini. has been
cast, and it goes without speaking that
he will make good. Olinto Lombardi
sings Colline; Luigi Bergami appears as
Alcifdero beautiful Ester Forrabfni
who made a name for herself in LA
Tosca" last week, will be heard in the
role of Musette. LA Boheme'' will be
presented three times during the week.
Monday and Thursday nights and at the
Saturday matinee
The melodies of I'll Trovatore' are of
enhancing beauty and sometimes of
thrilling dramatic effect. "Trovatore"
will find place in the list of operas this
week-on Tuesday and Friday nights
featuring both Pimazzoni and Signortni.
The cast will also include Mauceri, Pez-
zati and Maria Gonzales as Leonora.
The opera hardly needs an introduce
ton. 1t contains many gems-beautifui
I'll Balen," the magnificent ID Quelia
Pira.' the somber "Miserere" and all the
swinging choruses that are known TO
every ear.
In "RigoIettop wednesday and Satur-
6av nights we have one of the greatest
masterpieces of that famous composer.

THE BARRIERS OWN HAIRCUT.
He May Get It in His Own Shop or
May Go to Another.

From the New York Sun.
The customer sitting In the chair. with
the barber trimming his locks, wondered
what the barber did when he wanted hair
cut.
Il do just what you do" said the barber;
Il go to barber shop and get it cut
Some BARRIERS do that and then some
get their hair cut by fellow barber in the
shop in which they work. Getting 1t cut
by another barber in your own shop might
seem the most natural thing to do, and
then you cut the other fellows hair in re-
turn when 1t needs cutting; but that isn't
the most comfortable way and 1t isn't the
best way for the shop.
You see it takes two men OF the chairs.
to begin with, the man who Is getting his
hair cut and the man who is cutting it, and
that's bad, because you don't know how
many customers may come in: and II Gus
toners 90 o. come IN that may make It IN
"Once when was getting my hair cut In
my own shop customers hocked in when
the work on my head was about half done,
and Of course I had to get busy on them;
and they kept coming steadily from that
on, and so l stood and worked all day with
my own hair trimmed on one side and not
on the other.
"a man can shave himself and a man can
trim his own beard If he wants to. though
no man can begin to do that as well as
barber can do 1t for him, but no man can
cut his own hair, and so we all have to get
our hair cut, and to look we'll man ought
to get his hair and beard trimmed every
two weeks: and every two weeks regularly
/ go out to another shop and get my hair
cut and get fixed up, and go always to the
same shop.
you've been coming here and sitting in
my chair for four years. I've been going to
the shop go to and getting my hair cut
by the same barber for six years. Once
every two weeks 1 get around there and
get my hair cut and a shave, and usually a
shampoo.
You see, I'm standing here all day and
day after day shaving other people and cut
ting their hair. and it's a sort Of a change
and relief and a comfort generally to sit
down in a chair once in a while and get
somebody to do this work for me, and go
about this in the most comfortable way;
every two weeks. when l get my hair cut,
go to the shop where get my work done
and sit down in the chair of my regular
barber as a customer"

King Of Beverages.
From What to Eat.


Water is the king of beverages; II is the
beverage to which all turn when they would
cure themselves of the Injurious habit OF
consuming other beverages But water that
Is not pure may be more harmful than the
most harmful of other drinks. Every health
department should emphasize the dangers
of impure water and urge upon the public
the necessity of giving this matter first con-
sideraton. There Is at my command nu-
merous health reports bearing on this sub
ject and 1t is not difficult to prove that the
death rate would be enormously lowered by
greater care with regard to the consump-
ton of pure water.
Water Is the basis of all other beverages
All beverages of mans manufacture are
water that has been adulterated by admix-
lures and chemical treatment.
Pure water is the one beverage which
has stood the test Of science and come down
to us unScathed through continuous use for
countless ages. 1t is natures chiefest bless
ing to man. Other beverages undergo many
changes with time. Each age brings them
forth In new styles. new methods of manu-
facture, new processes of chemical treat
ment; aging and keeping. Foods change
with each successive generation. We eat
different kinds OF foods from time to time
each generation prepares them differently;
there different methods of compromising
them. different methods of cooking them.
Pure water Is the same yesterday. today
and forever. From long before the time of
the Pool Of Sloan, mentioned in the Holy
Writ, to the present time, pure alter has
undergone no change. and people have
never lost taste for 1t. Other tastes come
and go; the taste for water never varies
So long as man and beast inhabit the earth
the practice" of drinking water will never
cease,

HOPE IN THESE.
Plants That Will Grow in Spite Of
Weather

These are sad days for amateur gardeners
whose seeds have either rotted in the
ground with cold and wet, or else have lit
orally been nipped IN the bud. There is yet
time. however, to bring forth some kind Of
results. but this can be done only by start
ing all over again, using roots instead Of
seeds. Should the extraordinary weather
of this spring moderate soon it will yet be
too late to bring up many seeds that would
be burned before they could mature sufi
GENTLY to Withstand summer sun. The one
possibility of an exception Is of doing as In
late winter, planting seeds in boxes and
keeping them protected until the seedlings
are strong enough to transplant Such boxes
might now be kept on a covered piazza
instead Of in the house.
In quick-growing plants and those that
blossom late into the autumn now lies the
amateurs only hope. In a season like this
sunflowers are not to be despised II one
is going in for effect or massing some dis
lance from the house. The double strain is
less "weedy" than single, and either grows
SO rapidly as to De encouraging in hard
times. Sunf1owerS, of course are not good
near q house. as being too coarse and
heavy.
Cosmos may still DE grown. and for au-
tumn Its daisylfke flowers will be beautiful,
many colors. The experience of any be-
ginning gardener not far from New York
is that old-fashioned balsam is one of the
most satisfactory garden flowers, growing
quickly from seeds and being as hardy as
a weed. This. too, comes in many colors.
Mignonette. regarded by many persons
as being difficult to raise. still holds out
hope for this season out of doors. 1t can
not be transplanted. SO the seed must 60
into the ground where the roots are to
stay. but the growth will be rapid and the
flowers plentiful If the earth Is kept well
worked and watered. Like all thick or crisp
stemmed plants. 1t take quantities Of moist
ure, and one reason that 1t does not. as a
rule, grow better in amateur gardens Is
that the plants are kept too dry. Seeds put
in now should in the ordinary course of
events bloom the latter part of July.
A woman who can spend money on her
garden may bring hers, even this season,
to beautiful effects by buying young roots.
All the cornflOwers. blue, white, red and
other colors, grow very rapidly and blossom
freely, bushing and covering the ground
most satisfactorily Heliotrope will do the
same thing and sweet alyssum Is most salts
factory Nasturtiums ordinarily grow fast,
but this has been bad season and other
low bordering plants will be better now
substituted for them.
Marigolds asters and chrysanthemums
may be grown yet from seeds, but no time
should be lost in putting them into the
ground, and they should be carefully watch
ed and worked in order to give all possible
assistance to their development.

English Jurors Remuneration.

From IhamDerS JOufnaI.
The scale of remuneration of English COM
mon jurymen is absurd. In a civil case in
England a common juryman is allowed five
shillings day for "a view"-that is, for in
specting any property or thing in dispute
but otherwise he is. in law, not entitled to
any remuneration.
1t is usual however. in the high court to
give him fee Of one shilling. and in the
counties eight pence. Special jurymen re-
ceive much higher remuneration. The fee
in the county court is one shilling a case, in
the mayors court two pence, and in the
London sheriff's court four pence.
But English jurymen have been accorded
some highly important privileges. The act
Of 1870 lays IL down that they may, in the
discretion of the Judge, be allowed the use
Of a fire when not in court and may also
be allowed reasonable refreshment, at
their own expense"

What Dick Turpin Really Did.

Dick Turp 4 was really a most I'M

threatened to put an old Mrs Shelley on
the fire unless she gave him her money
Turpin's sphere of influence was not
Hounslow Heath but Epping Forest; and
the only true part of the popular myth Is
tnat he really did shoot his comrade, Tom
King.
