Academy of Music.

Henry w. Savage is to present his
revival of the charming comic opera,
Woodland" at the Academy of Music,
Baltimore, next week, with special
price matinees Wednesday and Sat
urday.
The story of Woodland" is i'm
aginative and poetic, the characters
are all chosen from the feathered tribe
and furnish opportunities for great d.
versity in suggestive costuming, from
the broadly comic Blue Jay and Roos-
ter to the gorgeous Peacock and pert
Jenny Wren. The comedy of the piece
Is clean and refined and the action at
all times sprightly, but the principal
charm perhaps will be found in the
music. The songs are delightfully."-
lively, tuneful and catchy, and the
ensembles and choruses have been de-
clared to be the best Gustav Luders
has ever written. AS in the case of
all of Mr.. Savage's offerings, the stag
ing of the piece will be found to be
elaborate, costly and artistic. When
the opera Is given here 1t will be the
same in every detail as when it was
originally presented In Boston.
Woodland" is in two acts and both
are laid in the cool shade of the for
est, representing a scene in the woods
at early dawn. The characters repre-
sent, by the colors and particular fea-
lures of their costumes, the birds they
are supposed to impersonate, as not a
feather is used in any of the costumes.
The well known funmakers and
songsters who appear In this quaint
musical conceit are George w. Leslie,
Alonzo Price, Harry Benham, Dwight
Allen, H. A. Barrows. Mary Quive, Con-
stance Farmer, Liela Smith, Ethyle
Cook, Florence Rother and Hazel Cox.
In addition there will be found score
of young women who. as they are all
supposed to represent feathered deni-
Gems of the forest, were selected for
their daintiness, beauty and voice
forming one of the prettiest and best
singing and dancing choruses ever
seen. The company also carries its
own orchestra In order to insure q
proper Interpretation OF the delight
fully catchy music of Mr.. Luders.

Hicks Weather Forecast.

For the last ten days of March
Hicks makes the following predic-
tons:
"a reactionary storm period is
central on the 22d, 23rd and Oath. This
period is at the center of earth's YER
nal, or spring equinox, but this fact
does not necessarily require that Sc
we're equinoctial storms shall appear
on these dates. Heavy storms and
tidal waves are just as apt to occur
any time within two or three weeks of
the 22d. Many sharp, disquieting
squalls and violent gales will, how
ever, be natural for several days, CEN
tering on the 22d, 23rd and Gath.
"A regular storm period covers the
last five days of March, being central
on the 10Th. Falling barometer, ris-
ing temperature, cloudiness and
threatening conditions generally will
be noted in all western sections early
in this period; but storms will not
reach their eliminating crisis until
near the end. say on the 30th and S1st.
Heavy snow squalls for the season
will be general to the northward as
March goes out, with high northwest
erly gales and much colder by the
LIST and I'd of April"

PURE MILK.
High Grade Milk Produced by High.
Grade Food.

A propos of the present agitation
for pure milk in Baltimore city, we
have been requested to publish the
following letter from ]. B. Ensor,
Thropolis, Baltimore county, to the
American:
81 noticed in the newspapers that
the health authorities of Baltimore
city are taking some drastic measures
to get rid ofimpure or low grade mi; XII
also state that much more milk would
be used If they could get pure grade
of milk. Please allow me to state
to the milk consumers when they are
willing to pay for a nIgn-grade milk
they can get it without any drastic
laws in regard to the matter.
l suppose the Board of Health and
the milk consumers generally OF the
city of Baltimore imagine that milk
is milk and all of the same quality as
it comes from the cows, which is a
false impression. The cow is nothing
more than a machine, and the quality
of milk she produces depends alto
gether upon the quality OF ratlons
you give her to manufacture. just
as much SO as the manufacture OF cot
ton, wool, silk or any other goods.
The quality of goods they produce de-
ponds on the raw material that the
goods are made of. If. the raw ma
terial is of inferior quality you may
expect the machine to produce a
poor quality of goods; so 1t is with
the cow. If you want her to produce
a high grade of milk you must feed
her on high-grade food. That costs
money.
Much has been said about the adul-
terating of milk. In my opinion that
also, to some extent, is false impress
sion. l think the adulteration OF milk
consists in the rations the cow gets.
Please allow me to give some of my
practical knowledge and experience
in regard to high and low grade milk.
Last fall had considerable soft and
frostbitten corn which / fed to my
cows for six weeks. The cows relish
ed 1t and the flow of milk was increas-
ed. / supposed that had good mar
ket for my soft and unmatured corn.
After feeding some six weeks l re-
ceived a letter from my dairyman In
Baltimore stating that my milk was
exceedingly poor, only showing 2 $40
butter fat, and that l must stop ship
ping to him at once. l went to Bal
timore Immediately and said to him
there was some cause for this low
per cent. l requested him to give me
two weeks to investigate the matter
l changed my formula of feeding
which consisted of bran, cOttonseed
meal, sucrene and corn chop and Glow
er hay. In less than one week my
milk showed 4-10 butter fat. That
result was sufficient to convince me
that the quality of goods depended
upon the quality of raw material that
was put in the machine. The Board
of Health and milk consumers must
understand that high price raw ma
terial must demand high price goods
No producer can afford to produce
milk that will show 4 per cent. butter
fat at less than 20 cents pr gallon
wholesale.

NEW DESIGNS FOR
STAMPS ADOPTED
The Idea Was to Have them
Simple and Artistic In
New Issue.

The bureau of engraving and print
ing at Washington, d. q. has COM
nleted designs suggested by Post
master General Meyer for a new issue
of postage stamps. The stamps VIII
he of the following denominations:
/. 9, 3, 4, 8, 8, s, 10, 10, and 20 cents
and 81. The 50 and S. demon nations
now in use will not be reprinted. III
will be some weeks before all the de-
,ominatious will be put on the mar
bet. However, the 2 cent stamps
will he first distributed aud it is said
that shipments to postmasters Will
commence some time in November
The new issue has been designed with
the object Of obtaining the greatest
simplicity commensurate with artistic
results. The profile has been taken in
each instance instead of full view,
giving bas relief effect. All the
stamps are of similar design. con-
tanning head in an ellipse, the
only decoration being laurel leaves on
each side of the ellipse, the letter
ing is in straight liner, at the top be-
ing ~. S. Postage" and at the bot
tom being the words, 1.-Two cents.
The II cent" stamp contains the head
of Frank n, while all others will bear
that of Washington taken from
busts by Houdon.
Thus one of the most notable differ
ances in the new issue will be the
minimum of lettering The colors are
reds and blues of the early stamps.
Director Ralph of the bureau Of en-
craving and printing, regards the new
stamps as the most artistic ever issued
by the government.

cerning the High School, jumps at
conclusions, gets mad, INDUCES in an
ugly fling at innocent party, be-

many students to take as low as three
studies is s1ffiient in itself to justify
an inquiry, for what can We expect
from u three study student? That the
scholars who are trying to make a
creditsble showing are overworked
can be asctrtained by the Professor
merely by inquiring of the parents.
| have heard many speak OF it. We
have state law against working
children overtime and it should sp-
ply also to our scholars as overstudy
is more exhausting than overwork.
Now, Professor, don't you think this
is a public question and better dis
cussed in the public prints than in
the privacy of your office? 1t is the
duty of every parent to look after the
welfare of his children all to
see that they are given fair chance
in the public schools and not allow
them to be overworked. Would it
not be better, Professor, to cut down
the lesson assignments sufficiently to
allow all students to take at least
four studies and have respectable
number of six students? Surely
they are the kind of which You could
be proud and such students would be
better prepared to take up the duties
of the larger life.

fessor aud my daughter speaks of you

is wrong aud believe we would all be
