KA1sER's OPERA BILL $500, 900.
/ when He Commands n Performance
| He BUYS Out the House.

When He Commands Performance
He Buys Out the House.
Some interesting statistics are pub
lished regarding the extent to which
the German Emperor personally subsi-
dies the Royal Opera House and the
ROYAL Theater in Berlin, says the New
York Times. OF total Of $62o,0OO
expended on them by the Prussian
budget, $112,50O is contributed from
the Kaiser's private exchequer. In adj
dition he bears the annual deficit, some
thing like $4,000, sometimes as much
as 100000.
Thus the imperial patronage OF ORA
matte and operate arts represents a
t,dv sum of over 100000 per annum.
Even this, however, does not exhaust
the list of the Kaiser's theatrical ex-
nenses. for every time he commands
performance. the seats for which are
distributed to his personal guests and
friends, he must buy out the entire seat
Ing capacity of the theater, averaging
total Of 81 $50 for each such affair.
The salaries of the Kaiser's operate
and dramatic stars are, of course. small
compared with those paid in New York.
Not one gets more than $4,000 year.
The general manager of the whole royal
theatrical department receives only Sd
500 year In addition to the free use
Of the official residence. Nevertheless,
the bill the Kaiser will have to foot at
the end of this year will be the heavi-
est he has ever paid. for it includes
the cost of producing his cherished his
torical pageant, the Assyrian panto-
mime, "Sardanapalus." which alone
cost over $4,000 before the curtain
rose on the first performance.

The United States and Japan have
set down in black and white their mu
tual sentiments concerning the points
upon which their interests touch. Thus
briefly, save in one important particu.
lar, may be summarized the meaning OF
the identical notes which Secretary
Root and Ambassador Takahira ex'
changed recently in the State Depart.
ment at Washington. The two govern
ments wish to encourage the free and
peaceful development of their Pacific
commerce; they desire the maintenance
they have no plans for aggression upon
each others territory; they seek equal
trade opportunities In China, and they
will use all peaceful means to assure
the integrity and independence Of that
empire. These are simple formalities
Of friendship. The sole clause which Is
more than this Is the mutual pledge
Of the two powers to communicate with
each other with the purpose Of reaching
an understanding, should any event
arise to disturb the principles above
set forth In this Interchange OF
notes" there Is no technical treaty be
tween this country and Japan. Yet Its
moral and political effect will almost
certainly be far greater than that of ar
intricate, devious and ponderous agree
ment worked out after the fashions OF
the ancient diplomacy. For this is the
new diplomacy at work-in its "shirt
sleeves" If you will-upon the broades
problems Of progress, seeking its goa
direct and scorning the mental and
verbal mazes Of medieval statecraft.

Winning n Juryman.

1t Is related Of Lachaud, the most
famous Of French criminal lawyers in
the last century, that In pleading a GER
tain case he perceived that one Of the
jurors seemed to be hostile to him and
his argument.
In the faces of all the other men in
the box he saw with his practiced eyes
that his oratory or his shrewdness was
having it's effect, but this man, in spite
Of all Lachaud could do. remained
frowning, suspicious, obdurate.
Lachaud continued with his work,
however, and presently saw that his
opportunity had come. 1t was hot
day, and ray Of sunlight had pene-
trated crevice on the curtain and was
shining on top Of the head of this jury
man, who was quite bald. The lawyer
paused In his argument and addressed
himself directly to the court
IF your honor would please" he
said, Ito order that the curtain In yon-
der window be lowered trifle, l am
sure that the sixth juryman would ap-
preciate It,"
This sign OF watchful attention won
the obstinate juryman's heart and
Lachaud's case.-New York Tribune.

French scientists have been deyoting
considerable attention of late to the
problem of the backward child. They
regard the vast majority of such cases
as the result Of false abnormality, and
the remainder as physically imperfect.
Many children are backward in school
through poor eyesight, which places
them at great disadvantage in follow
ing instruction given by means of black
boards or charts. Others are deaf, and
frequently suffer seriously by reason of
going through school without their dis
ability being noticed. These two de
fects are most common of all. Many
OF the diseases of childhood are respon-
sible for permanent troubles that affect
the mental development For instance,
children may suffer from neuralgia, the
thyroid gland may be imperfect, or. as
is very frequently the case. adenoids
may fill up a large part of the breath

Following the trend Of modern de-

transformed into an important indus

among these are the weaving of fab
RIGS, the making Of hats, shoes, beer,
and alimentary pastes. There are also
numerous iron foupdries.
The cotton plantations have been
largely extended during the last few
years. In the old colonial times the
cotton fiber was woven in small es-
Establishments, but the first large spin
ming mill was not founded before 1862
in the city of Itu. There are now thir-
ty-one cotton mills in various parts Of

is the spinning of jute. This vegetable
