A Musical Treat.

One of the finest concerts ever given in
St. J )hnsbury was listened to by an APP
preciative audience at Music hall last
night, the concert being given by the
Philharmonic Sextette of Boston, as
sisted by Miss Mary F. Sherwood, So
prano, who delighted her hearers with
her rich, sweet voice and was very gen.
erous in her encores. Of the seXtette too
much praise cannot be given them. The
violin solo by Mr. Kraft, the flute solo
by Mr.. Brooke and the cello solo by Mr..
Heindl were received with great applause
and the audience is indebted to the
president Of the association for the Ell
core to the cello solo. From start to
finish the orchestra held the undivided
attention of their hearers and they
showed the music loving people of ST.
Johnsbury that they were masters o.
their profession and they will be sure tc
receive as large house, if not larger
when they come again. And when they
do we trust they will give us more en-
! cores

Regarding the great hotel palaces
OF New York, here are some facts
and figures relative TO pacifying the
hunger Of the guests at the Hotel
Astor, at which, by the way, between
1000 and 5000 people are fed every
day. TWO hundred and twenty-one
walters. six head walters and six
assistant head walters are required
to serve the meals, while 90 extra
men, known as "omnibuses, =" are
kept busy removing the soiled dishes
from the table simultaneously ia
cooks and assistant cooks are kent
busy i'm the kitchens.
Remembering the foregoing, 1t is
not astonishing to learn that that
hotel usues on an average every
month 61.9S1 pounds OF beef, 49,
246 pounds OF steaks and hlets,
1900 pounds OF mutton, 28,762
pounds OF turkey. capons and chick
ems, $40 pounds OF squad, 656.OOO
oysters, 11,101 Holsters, 32,45O
pounds of butter, S4.6S8 eggs, 49,
900 liters OF milk, and 1878 pounds
of coffee and 10000 loaves of
bread, to say nothing of numberless
boxes of biscuits, cakes, etc.
It calculated that wines to the
value OF $1,5OO,OOO are to be found
in the cellars of the four hotels
named. In one instance, hotel
maintains a STAFF OF wine experts,
who spend their time abroad hunting
for finds" OF rare Odd vintages.
The fee of good waiter at one
of these hotels amount to several
thousand dollars annually 1t is not
so very long since one of the head

average business man would consid-
ar a respectable fortune Success.

1t has been the cry Of the ire
sponsive man since criticism began
that his own generation produced
nothing. It's cry that I hate and
deny. When the dross. has been
cleared away and comparison be-
comes possible l am convinced it
will be, admitted that in the aggre-
gate, in philosophy and significant
literature, in architecture, painting
and scientific research, in engineer
ing and industrial invention, in
statecraft, humanity and valiant
deeds, the last thirty years of mans
endeavors will bear comparison with
any other period of thirty years
whatever in his history. -,H. e.
