Grand Opera tor enc Nation.

Grand Opera competition has been
a blessing chiefly of local effect. The
country at large has been benefited
by it only incidentally. But even here
IN New York, where the rivalry OF
managers has been unquestionably a
boon, the possibility of merger of
interest is regarded with no great
depth OF concern, Should the sugges-
ted merger take form, neither is grand
opera likely to be crushed back into
the unenterprising state of pre-Ham-
merstein days nor is the public likely
to suffer from the oppression of a
monopoly. Star singers probably will
nave 10 sing for less. money, but not
enough less to deprive them OF a rea.

CALL OF THE SERVICE.

I've come back, Mr.. Sergeant, though
my last three bit is done.
And my "buzzard'' (when | got it)
seemed to be so hardly won,
For I've heard the service calling, and
in fancy can see
My old place waiting for me yet, with
dear old Company D.
I've been wandering through the
country, from the mountains to
the sea,
But I'm longing for the good old life,
the easy life, and free,
The life I've led for many years, and
my fathers did before,
The life, please God, that I'll now live
now and ON forevermore.
| want to walk my post again, to feel
the breezes blow,
And see the tents all white at night
in straight and even row,
And the relief once more to halt, and
march back to the tent,
And snatch four little hours of sleep
for out again I'm sent
Send me westward to the islands
where soft the breeZes blow,
And the natives in their hammocks
swing SO gently to and fro
For l long again to hear the call al
morn of reville,
And the echoes faint returning from
The mountains across the bay
bay.
So have come back, sergeant, for my
wandering is done,
And I'll ask for nothing better than
once more to grasp gun,
To touch my elbows with the boys as
into ranks We fall,
Until We stand to answer the lasi
great bugle call.

receipts of the circus at an alarming
rate. So before going into Texas the
routing agent must familiarize himself
with the presence or absence of that
enemy of the cotton crop. The negro
cotton pickers who, when they are
fast enough on their feet and with
their fingers, earn from $1.25 to 50 a
day, are the mainstay of the circus
on its southern trips. They get their
money during August and September,
and the circus gets part of it.
The money the circus gets from the
mill workers it gets in the spring.
1t took the routing agents long time
to learn this. They used to send the
circus into mill towns in the fall, rea-
soning that as the fall is the most
prosperous season of the year through
out the country it was not likely that
conditions in the mill towns would
be abnormal. - But the circus found
that by the time fall came the mill
workers had become so surfeited with
summer park amuSementS and so
anxious to get down to hard work
again that even the attractions of the
circus, "the poor mans show" were
not strong enough to bring out as
much money as the circus wanted
Then the routing agents changed their
routes SO that the circus hit the mill
towns in the spring. Then. after a
hard winters work undiversified by
summer parks, the mill workers were
ready to step up to the ticket wagons
and buy seats.
The routing department, with all it's
attention to detail and it's exercise OF
forethought, is not the only depart
ment of the circus in which chance
has been eliminated as far as possible.
The old day of the wagon show and
the smaller railroad show, that went,
like the wind where it might list, and
the managers of which talked of good
luck and bad luck" are about over.
Through the most careful study of
weather conditions the circus side
steps most of the bad weather, and
through the adoption of all kinds of
precautions the show gets away from
as much other i'll fortune as it can.

Preparing the

Every, garden should have it's com

Ii 1t smokes or steams turn it over

Slow decay is wanted, not hot fer

gardeners most precious posses

clay or hard pan, then you must
have patience and perseverance.
Break it up with spade if your
back is strong, otherwise subsidize

rough and let the manure rot. When
rotted, spade it again and if it is IN

SUCCESS.

Success is like a building which
presents an engaging aspect to those
who view it from without, but has
few charms for such as are permitted
to sit down within it. From afar it
looks altogether substantial, but when
come UP with it is found to be rather
flimsy and worthless. Therefore, if
some power the gift would give man.
kind to see each his own success as
others see it, the happiness of the
race would be so vastly promoted
that the perfect day must thereupon
be thought to have arrived. For
then the prince would no longer envy
the peasant, nor yet the peasant the
prince, to the end that contentment,
instead of remaining the exclusive
property of tramps and such like,
would permeate all grades of society.

SHOES IN PHILIPPINES.
Native Liking for the Oxfords
Manila Cigars and Cigarets.

Bookkeeper.-Of all the things we
Americans own the Flilipinos like, our
shoes best. Natives have been known
to go hungry in order to sport a pair
of oxfords with military heels bulldog
toes and big bow laces. The price
was the only thing displeasing about
our shapely footwear, and the Gus
toms laws were indicted for that fault.
Though the price rarely interfered
where physical endeavor would result
in the ownership of pair of attrative
zapatos Americanos, it was claimed
that many longing native could not
raise SIS (Which looks much bigger
when reduced to the equivalent in
pesos) to adorn his little brown feet.
One enterprising American hit upon
a clever idea by which he could sup
ply the native with the American
style shoe at Filipino prices. There
was no leather of high or low grade
of local production, so he chose the
coarse ill-smelling hide of the carabao,
possibly realizing it is a long way
from the nose to the feet.
A good-sized factory was economl.
cally fitted up, an American foreman
with expert knowledge of American
styles was placed in charge and shoes
OF carabao hide at low prices with the
same beautiful lines as those coming
from the United States flooded the
market in Manila. The imported
stock then went mostly to American
and European customers and the
home product to the native.
However, there was a drawback to
this scheme. No sooner did the ma
tive shoemakers become proficient in
styles than they opened up small
shops, turning out samples quite as
good by hand as the machine-made
factory article. The Chinese also
commenced to initiate the American
styles at ruinous prices.
Nevertheless the factory was en-
larged from time to time and is now
looked upon as one of the biggest and
best paying corporations in the is
lands. 1t now makes its own brands
OF high grade stock from American
feathers imported for its own use.
Every year new shoe stores are
started and still there is room for
mc~e.
Nothing perhaps in the way of cloth
ing is so suitable for the tropics as
white duck. The native tailors make
suits at absurdly low prices. Hence
there will be no increase demand for
American readymades. But colored
shirts, high collars and fancy cravats
appeal to the fanciful eye of the ma
tive youth. With him these come next
after shoes.
With free trade in tobacco some
new and very wholesome brands of
cigars and cigarets may come to this
country from the islands. Manila has
some of the largest and best cigar
and cigaret factories in the world,
perhaps more than any other CITY.
Nearly all these factories put out a
cheap Tin price only brand of Lon
dres Finos, which are the equal if not
the peer of any fve-cent cigar on the
American market.
In Manila these cigars retail at from
81 to $i.25 a box of 100. In Honolulu
