OUT OF CONVENT GARDEN.
Mme. Calve a Living Mascot Who
 Brings Success.

London, December 2S.-(Special cable.)- Musical London is at once regretful ana mystified over the announcement that a serious split has taken place between Pietro Mascagni and the management or Covent Garden opera house. America will profit by Londons loss, for not only Iris" but "Amica," Mascagnis other new opera, will now go to New York instead.
 The split came in the middle of negota- lions between the maestro and Covent Garden about one of these new operas. Suddenly everything was off, CoVent Garden had written to Mascagni. notfyins him that the opera Iris could not pc produced if he intended to be present. Various speculations are made as to the reason of this amazing incident, but the origin of the trouble mas not peeh hiaoe clear.
 Meanwhile Mascagni is at work on a new socialistic opera, which is called 'The Harvest Feast" The music is evolving under the composers usual method, which is to read and re-read the libretto until he is thoroughly acquainted with every de- tall of plot and characterization; to study particular passages until they turn them selves into music in his brain; then at the piano to jot down the melodies as they come. Not until he has thus accumulated a mass of material does the composer begin to arrange the opera in proper se- quence.
 Like most Italians, Mascagni is very superstitious, and carries about with him a perfect battery of charms and talis- mans. One of his mascots is living diva, Mime. Calve, whom he always endeavors to secure to sing in the first production of his work, because he believes she IS an infallible magnet for success.

tailors' paper says: Both King Edward and the Emperor William appeared in the typical dress of the English gentleman double breasted frock coat made of black cloth and finished with bright silk facings to the end of the holes. a single-breastec vest of the same material with white slip above the opening and dark trous- CTS.
 ''The Kings frock coat was cut narrow in the fronts and held together by link at the waist, but the Emperor's coat was cut fuller, thrown open, and kept back by his hands being thrust into his trouser pocket, so displaying gold chain taken from vest pocket to vest pocket, and not secured to a hole in the usual way.
 Both of these gentlemen wore wing collars of shallow dimensions. the Elm peror wearing a sailor knot tie and our King cravat. King Alfonso wore deep collar and knot tie, and his double breasted reefer had breast pocket, from which his handkerchief peeped, gfv- ing him sprightly appearance.
 For outdoor wear King Alfonso wore a fiy-front easy-fitting Chesterfield, of de- cided West End style. Its length reached to just below the knees, and seam down the back, velvet collar, pointed lapel. horizontal flap hip pocket. and>out breast pocket with welt.
 "The Emperor Williams overgarment was of the Inverness type, reaching to the calf, and finished with a turnover. or Prussian, collar. This was made from very dark material.
 King Edwards over-garments are of both these types For ordinary wear he generally adopts the Chesterfield, but for sporting purposes the Inverness Is his favorite, made from light check tweed.

SAYS JEALOUSY IS
 SIMPLY A DISEASE
FRENCH DOCTOR ADVANCES A
 NEW THEORY OF THE GREEN. MoNsTER-coLD DoUcHEs ARE
 RECOMMENDED AS TREATMENT.

Paris, December 24.-(Special Cable.)- A Paris physician, Dr. Mairet. has for mulated the startling theory that jeal- ousy is simply a physiological disease. He says it ought to be treated like other ailments, medically, and that if so dealt with it can be cured.
 Dr. Mairet considers there are tbree forms of jealousy-first, jealous hyperes- thenia or excessive morbid excitement of the sentiments with deep feeling of un- easiness.
 Second, jealous monomania, which is closely akin to mental malady. since 1t frequently engenders feeling in the af- fiicted person that he or she is being persecuted
 Thirdly, jealous madness, or the last and acute stage of jealous hyperesthenia, and should be treated as form of mad ness. The doctors opinion is that suf- ferers from acute jealousy should be treated by daily and frequent cold touches He has proved 1t to be valu-

able treatment, frequently bringing a complete cure and nearly always great alleviation.
 Be polite to women." Is the advice which stares at one from placards placed in prominent positions in the Paris the atres, railway stations. cars. etc. This is the work of a new league formed to en- courage politeness in France. It is called the League of Respect to Women.
 For many years past the old traditional French politeness has been dying out some say 1t Is the democratic spirit of the republic which is to blame. For in stance, in France no man ever thinks of giving up his seat to lady who Is standing in a car, and if foreigner of fers his seat he is regarded with surprise and curiosity.
 Men smoke in non-smoking compart- ments without asking permission of any woman who may be present. Men push women to one side at the theatres and railway stations and do not beg their pardon for jostling and pushing. and ever saluting is not done as respectfully as il used to be.
 The league does not intend to revive the old-fashioned and ceremonial forms oi traditional French politeness; that would be- ridiculous in these commercial days but 1t would like to revive or keep alive some of its former polfteness toward women.

 King Alfonso is declared the most sty- fish in dress. The young Spanish King has most of his clothing made by the tailor most favored by King Edward. He Is very fond of the double-breasted reef er made to roll low. with light vest showing above the opening
 On the other hand, King Haakon is ap- parently the worst dressed monarch in the group. His garments, it is said. are 'clearly of Norwegian make. and have several features of style that strike us as not being all that could be desired'

BOWS TO HUSBAND.
Former Actress Wins Her Husbands .
 Parents In Charming Manner.

London, December 2s.-tSpecial Ca- ble. .)-The Hon. Lyndhurst Bruce and his wife Camille Clifford) are jogging along far more comfortably now, ow- ing to the fact that MT. Bruce put his foot firmly down in regard to the at- tention paid to the fair Camille by an admirer in the automobile business.
 Moreover. Lord and Lady Aberdare, who are tired of playing the parts of the unforgiving and irate parents, have accepted Camille. and the young couple went to the family place near Cardiff, and spent a weekend. which was de- scribed by one of MT. Bruce's friends as formal on the Saturday "informal' on the Sunday and familiar" on the Monday
 Camille made herself very charming. and completely thawed out Lady Aber- dare. The peer. however, was little more difficult.
 Mir. Bruce who is making slow prog ress in business, has consented to re- ceive some financial assistance from his father, and, altogether, the pros poets of the young couple are far brighter than they were.

Geneva, December 2S.--(Special cable.)-- For the sake of her doll little Henrietta Haupt, 10 years old, died terrible death in the Alps. The child, who lived in a little village near the summit of the Pragel Pass, dropped her doll over a precipice and to recover 1t scrambled down the almost perpendicular mountain side.
 The getting back, however, was beyond her powers. and the poor child was found 2i hours afterward frozen to death, with her doll clasped in her stiffened arms.

Reeds unrulx Tenant

There used to live in Portland joseph
Reed, an uncle of the late Speaker
Reed. He was very large man, and
was never known to lose his temper.
He had an office on Exchange street,
up one flight of stairs.
One day he sent one of his tenants
who was behind in his rent, a five
days notice to move, which made his
tenant very mad. He called on Mr.
Reed boiling over with rage, using
some very profane language.
Mr. Reed was sitting and writing, at
a desk. He replied in his quiet, easy
voice: Mr.. Stevens, you are mad.
and you must not come up here when
you are mad"
Mr.. Stevens kept night on, only
worse, If anything. when Mr.. Reed
started to get up, saying in the same
easy tone of voice: Mr.. Stevens, you
must go right down stairs, or 1 viii
have to cuff you"
Mr.. Stevens went quietly down

The Reet-susar Industry.

The census of 1905 shows much
progress in the beet-sugar industry
of the United States, showing 81 es-
adjustments, against four in 1880,
says the Baltimore Sun. At present
$55,923.459 is invested in beet-sugar
production, and the annual product is
worth $24,393,794 Most of the in
crease of plant and product has taken
place since 1900, when the output
was worth but s7,323,S57. OF the
2,175,417 tons of beets grown in the
census year on 24O.757 acres and cost
ing $11,345.7s four-hfths were grown
by contract by independent farmers.
The sugar factories do not grow their
supply OF beets to any large extent.
Granulated beet sugar was produced
to the extent OF 496,61S,314 pounds,
worth $23,493,373. Other products
we're raw sugar. 11.223.6O7 pounds;
molasses, 9.609.642 gallons. and pulp,
worth 1902. .070. The leading states in
beet sugar are Colorado. Michigan and
California, the first producing $7,19S,-
9S2 worth OF beet sugar, the second
s., .004 worth and the third $4,415,-
172 worth. California and Colorado
irrigate the land used to produce
beets. In Utah a system of pipelines
connects slicing stations with the
central factories. The beets from the
neighboring country are received at
these slicing stations, where the juice
is extracted and treated with com

Hereditary Divorce.

AS a matter of fact, divorces run
in families. The children of di-
vorced mother are the likeliest them
selves to contract alliances which the
law will have to sever. There have
been numerous instances of families
OF sisters or brothers who have gone
through the divorce courts in almost
unbroken succession. This phenom-
enon sheds some light on the true
causes of divorce and suggests that
very large proportion of the separa-
tions which the law countenances are
due not to an initial fatal mistake"
nor to complete 'incompatibility, nor
even to the actual misdeeds of either
party, but to mental and tempera-
mental pecuiliarities. Not the insti-
tuition Of marriage is at fault, says
Chicago Sun, not the mistaken union
OF antipathetic personalities, but the
human nature of one party or the
other to the compact. Divorces are
prevalent in certain families So are
incorrigible levity, disagreeable dis
positions, unwillingness TO abide the
consequences of a deliberate act, a
deficient philosophy

spice of lie In Maine Woods.

The southeast corner of the state
of Maine is a happy remnant of the
ancient wilderness. The railroads
will carry you around it in a day, if
you wish to go that way, making a
big oval OF 200 or 800 miles along the
sea. and by the banks OF the Penob-
scot, the Mattawamkeag and the st.
Croix. But If you wisely wish to
cross the oval, writes Henry Van
Dyke, in Scribner's, you must ride, or
go afoot, or take to your canoe; prob
ably you will have to try all three
methods of locomotion. for the coun-
try is mixed quantity. 1t reminds
me Of what 1 once heard in Stock
holm-that the Creator, when the
making Of the rest of the world was
done, had lot of fragments of land
and water, forests and meadows,
mountains and valleys, lakes and

togther to make the southern part of
