Symphony orchestra of the Metropoli- tan Opera house of New York City, is a very talented musician, and his handling of the thirty odd musicians is reported as being excellent. He is said to possess all the fine qualities known as temperament, and that the effects he produces are astonishing
 The members of the Phoenix Sym phOny orchestra have agreed to give two performances per annum gratis for the maintenance of the organiza- tion, and next Tuesdays concert is for the purpose of raising funds to pay for timpani, horns, library and other instruments which are of no use out side of a full symphony orchestra, and to place funds in the treasury for the work to De carriedAon this coming fall

before you decide to be a stenographer. Are you a good speller? Is punctua- ton one of your strong points? Are you accurate and possessed of quick. dependable memory? Are you neat and quick with your hands? Do you like routine work, and are you willing to do the same thing day after day with little or no variation?
 If you can write Yes" after each one of those questions. you will succeed as a stenographer. But the girl who al- ways had to consult a dictionary when writing an essay, who lost counts in her home work because she forgot commas, semi-colons and quotation marks and was careless about the use of capitals, will never earn her salt as q stenOgrapher. A stenographer is a well equipped, .well-oiled, guaran teed- not -to-run- down machine-and nothing more. Occasionally a wide awake stenOgrapher works up to a po- sition of trust with her firm. But the majority of girls never get beyond the nervous prostration from confinement sedentary work and montony.
 The girl who is content to be this sort of machine will find her best op- pOrtunities in the offices of large cor poration, like a publishing house. in surance company. loan and abstract firm, etc. The preparation for such work is at least six months in a good school of stenOgraphy and typewriting.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
 CLOSES THE SEASON
A Fine Performance Will Be Heard at The Doris Next Tuesday Night.

The last attraction to take place at the Doris opera house this season will be the concert by the Phoenix sym phony orchestra, next Tuesday night. This organization nas been under preparation throughout the past win ter and the orchestra is now in what they consider first-cia shape to rem der "a program which will mark the beginning of the better class of home talent concerts for the city There are fewscities in the country, of the pOpu- lation of Phoenix, which can boast of as many fine musicians, and it will certainly be an attainment for Phoe- nix to produce and maintain a first class organization of this kind. Sev- eral of our best musical critics, who have attended the late rehearsals of the Phoenix Symphony orchestra, pro- nounce their rendition of the work to be performed next Tuesday night as being second on the coast to only the Portland and Los Angeles Symphony orchestras.

Getting Used to Tent Life.

It IS my hal 10 comb my hair be- fore retiring. and to look at myself ir thc glass meantime. This may be due to vanity. It may be sort of general inspection to sec f I have added any new features, or lost ary of those plucked from the family tree. Per hIps it iS only 10 observe what the days burdens have done f1r me in the way of wrinkles and gray hairs. Never mind the reason, it is a habit: but l didn't realize how precious it was to pe until I got back to the tent and found that our only mirror was in Eddie's collection set in the back of a combination cOmb-brush afafir about the size Of ones thumb.
 Of course it was not at all adequate for anything like a general inspection. It would just about hold one eye, or part of an ear of a little patch of hair, and it kept you busy guessing where that patch was located. Fur thermore, as the comb was a prat of the combination, the little mirror was obliged to be tWinkling around over ones head at the precise moment when it should have been reflecthg some portion of his features. It served no useful purpose thus, and was not much better when Hooked up anoth- CT comb and tried to use it in the nat ural way. Held close and far off, twisted and turned, it was no better.

The observer who studies the heavens on the warm evenings ef June will at once notice that the whole sky has. by this time. taken on it's summer aspect. The white summer star Spica k exactly south. Overhead, there shines out the brilliant. go.dcn-yellow Arcturus, ad in the southeast the red star Autares which k the brightest star of the striS- ing group of the ScorpiH, has risen high above the gorund. The summer branch of the Milky Way ha" also entered the evening sky. and with its wonderful sJrcamers and its knotted and cloud like structure. may be followed entirely around the eastern hah of the heavens from the North to the South. lu the northeast the beautiful Northern Cross and the Eagle with the singular group of the Dolphin. or Jobs Cottin, near by, have all appeared since last month. while above these there shines out the very brilliant blue star Vega. which. by next August, will reach the highest point of the heavens and stream down its radiance upon Us from directly overhead.

Marriage, the First Baby and Gradu-
 ation Day.

Commencement time is a period when sentiment reigns rampant In a thousand college towns the May
 moon is looking down on dark couples whispering under the trees their vows of eternal fidelity. The old viows-the oft-repeated vowsl An, where are the vows of yesterday? Ivy-colored walls and venerable elms will hear again the stories that they have heard so often before and sentiment and romance will spread like a contagiOn throughout
 the college towns. And perhaps it is just this spirit of sentiment that makes commencement time so dear to us. It
 is one of the high spots we strike in our flight between the cradle and the grave Marriage, the first baby, the
 graduation day are the three lofty eminences we reach, and each is great because it is so full of sentiment, says John T McCutcheon in the June Ap- pletons
 When we think of commencement day, as seen through a prospective of
 years, it seems like the happiest per
 iod of life. All the worries and trou-
 bles have been smoothed away, and
 we retain only the somewhat jumpled memory of broad lawns and stately 1 trees and covered college build ings and white dresses and fresh young faces full of the joy of living.
 For example, take that lovely moon- ! light night in June, when we serenad- ed the girls at the Ladies Hall" It
 will always stand out in memory. The throb of the instruments, the faint 1 fragrance of flowers, the fresh smell ! of verdure. the delightful mystery that [ lay beyond those fluttering window curtains up above, and more than all. the elation of youth. Why, that night
 was a sentimental orgy, and it stands
 out against the purple long ago like
 the evening star against the heavens.
 It was rapturous.
