DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

Miss Alice Nielsen. the celebrated
prima donna soprano, gave the third
in the Collver Celebrity course OF con-
certs In the Detroit opera house, sun
day afternoon. II would be unfair to
the artists who have preceded Miss
Nielsen in this series 10 say that her
recital was the most delightful and
entertaining, for each has had his own
particular style and charm. and eacL.
naturally has his own following. How
ever, the recital by Miss Nielsen was
artistic In every sense, her program
was well chosen, and the young
singers charming personality added
materially TO her success. Her dra-
matte ability, gained from several
years on the operate stage Is most
aluable acquisition and greatly en-
hances the enjoyment OF her singing.
Miss Nielsen's voice is very must
cal and velvety and extremely beauti-
full In the pianissimo passages. She
excells in her colorature work She
sang In English. French, German and
Italian, among the composers repre-
sented on the program being Arensky.

Wagner, ElSa's dream from "I.ohen-

one OF her big numbers.
The enthusiasm OF the audience
reached its climax when the singer

on the program OF many celebrated
artists In Detroit, but its poetic beauty
was never shown TO better advantage

THE WORD WINTER"

snid to Have Originally Indicated
wetness, Not Goodness.
There is a prevailing impression that
there is something in the word win
ter" that signifies cold, and the sea
son is usually associated with the idea
Of low temperature, but where the
word originated there was little OF
winter as we understand 1t, while
there was a great deal Of moisture at
the time the earth was nearest to the
sun, so that 1t is not the temperature
but the atmospheric condition that has
given US the word.
The word winter" as we use it, Is
found with but slight notifications In
all the branches of the Aryan Ian
guages, for the idea of wetness asso-
dated with the season was given to 1t
before the Aryan family was divided
If we go to the root Of the word we
find ''wad," with the Specification of to
well, to wash out, to moisten or make
wet. Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions OF
moisture. and many words besides
winter have grown out of it, wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad" is In the. Sanskrlt
as 'udan,' water. Anglo-Saxon has
''waeter," and in Latin we have "un-
da." wave, from which we get our "in-
undate.'
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the wv into ~" and have
winter" In Icelandic 1t is "vetir,
and the old high German has win
tar" and 1t is winter" in German
These four words are all from the
Teutonie base "wata," which means
wet So il has been moisture that has
been indicated from the birth of the
root on which all of the different words

CURIOUS FLORIDA HERB.
Red Plant which Feeds Upon Ants
and other Insects.

and other Insects.
Almost everybody knows there are
such things as insectivorous or carniv-
orous plants, but 1t is doubtful If many
know we have any such plants grow
ing right here in Southern Florida.
Nevertheless there is plant, or rather
herb, growing here which is really In
sectivorous.
1t is likely that on account Of Its
being extremely small it has escaped
attention. In fact. it seems to have
been overlooked by the botanists also,
as we are unable to find it classed
among the sensitive plants.
This is an annual herb, and the en-
tire plant, including the flowers, is Of
a deep rich red color. 1t rarely reaches
a height of more than three inches
and is never so broad. The leaves are
spatulate when undisturbed and pre-
sent many small fbrillae and secrett
at their tips a tenacious fluid which /,
capable of holding the very small In
sects, such as ants and the like, upon
which 1t feeds. When any of these get
lodged In the fluid and disturb these
fibrillae the leaves slowly acquire a
deep cut shape and sometimes curl
completely up over their victim. When
they have absorbed the insect they
slowly recover their original shape,
leaving only the skeleton of the insect
remaining.
These plants grow on the very low
fat, poor and sandy lands. They ap-
pear in the late winter and early
spring months. - Punta Gorda Fla

In fireless cooking there are certain
things to be remembered by the mex
perienced cook. Den is that il dish
is left Indefinitely in the cooker it will
sour. Soups, stews, vegetables and
such things must be removed after
twenty-four hours. and less in hot
weather. Another thing is that some
foods require longer time on the fire
before being put in the cooker than
others do. According to Harper's Ba-
zaar, cereals may take only ten min
utes, and tough meat half an hour; 1t
Is best to find out something about the
length of time the different things re
quire before beginning to use the cook
er.
Generally speaking, all sndigestible
things take longer than the rest; oat-
meal, beef stew, corned beef and beans
need more time than steamed pud-
dings, rice and chicken. A third thing
to remember is this: Everything that
takes very long time to cook is i'm
proved and the process fastened If,
when the time is half up and the food
cooled, the pail is removed and re-
heated without opening it. and put
back again.
In all cooking also you must be
careful not to, uncover the pail with
the food in 1t before putting 1t In the
box. 1t must be kept tightly covered
from the time 1t is put on the ire
or the steam will escape and the meat
or soup cool so that 1t cannot COOK.
Put everything in as quickly as posi-
HE, and cover at once.

Health and Beauty Hints.


Clam broth is good for weak stom-
ach.
Cranberry poultice is recommended
for erysipelas.
Daily exercise with light dumb bells
eventually cures round shoulders.
Try taking cod liver oil in tomato
catsup If you want to make 1t pala-
table.
Mustard plasters made with the
white of an egg do not blister the
skin.
To cure a sting Of bee or wasp, mix
common earth with water and apply
at once.
When a cut will not heal. saturate a
piece of absorbent cotton with coal
oil and bind on.
Nothing takes the oil from the skin
more quickly than a soap that does
not agree with 1t.
II you wish to scent the false POM
padour, lay it on the rose far or on
top of 1t and cover for several hours.
A sure relief from thirst. when water
is not to be obtained Is derived from
holding a dry pebble or a button in
the mouth.
Buttermilk is excellent for the COM
plexion and may be used daily, wash
ing with 1t, letting 1t dry on. and then
rinsing in warm but not hot water.
