Why the ripple's on the river and the red
Is on the rose
One to whom a voice has whispered while
his neart stood still 20 hear
Why the bloom Is on the brauble why
loves sunshine glds the tear.

Sweet as soft played twilight music steal

When you think nobody lirtens to tho lit

IT'S the nightingale imprisoned in the fast

Where no answering philomeIa's notes his

His the song that sways the heartstrings

His the power that the poet hath in

Crying out against the darkness praying

AMERICAS FOOD
SUPPLY is BEST
Finest IN the World, Says Gov
eminent Investigator.
PLENTIFUL AND BALANCED

This Country's Success Is the Result,
Declares c. F. Langworthy, Chief Of
Nutrition lnvestigations-Foo Sup
ply of Prehistoric Man and Nations.
That America has the finest food
/ supply Of any country in the world
and that the plentiful and well bal
anced ration is responsible for much
of the success of the United States as
a nation is the conclusion drawn by
Q. f. LangwOrthy. chief of the nutri-
ton Investigations. in pamphlet is
sued by the department Of agriculture
Mr. LaugwOrthy goes into the food
supply Of prehistoric man and Of ma
tons of which we know but little ex-
cept through popular writings and
states that many of the impressions
that these writer's give are erroneous.
He says, for instance, that the idea
that the Chinese and japanese are ma
tons of rice eaters is false IL is true
that both these people eat large guam
titles of rice compared with western
nations, but that it is merely their
chief starchy food and that it would
be just as accurate to refer to the
United States as a nation of wheat
eaters or TO say that beans and brown
bread were the exclusive diet in New
England. He says it is surprising to
see what a well balanced ration is
common among all nations, though
some take their food in one form and
some in another.
The writer says that prehistoric man
probably took his food from any
source it could be obtained just as
the modern family is governed largely .
by circumstances and convenience in .
the makeup of its dietary. The early /
people who lived close to the water
ate largely of shellfsh and other sea
foods. and those farther inland lived
on game animals, birds and their eggs
and such grains and fruits as grew
wild.

NEW YORK SYMPHONY.

Walter Damrosch was IN the city for
few DAYS last week to examine applicants
for a few vacancies In the New York SYM
phony Orchestra. The result of these ex-
nminations was the engagement OF new
barpist, second flute, second clarinet ana
three newcomers in the string department.
Mr.. Damrosch has spent the entire sum
mer since his return from an arduous or
chestral tour last spring at his country
place In Westport, Lake Champlain. Dur
ing this time he has written complete
comic opera. the plot for which he has
had in his mind for several years. The
libretto was written for him last winter
by Wallace Irwin. the author on many
humorous lyrics and the "Hashimura Togo
Letters" OF a japanese schoolboy. The
score contains twenty-four musical num-
beers, and the composer has aimed at sim
plicity of form and melody. The title OF
the work is THE Dove OF Peace and the
scene is laid I'm America and the Island OF
Guam during the late Spanish war.

WOULDN'T LIE TO KEEP HIS JOB.

An incident is related Of the rise In life
CT Frederick T. Gates, the confidential ad-
wiser, almoner and private business man.
ager of John d. Rockefeller. Gates's first
employment was that Of letter writer or
secretary for a local banker at Highland,
Kan. One day the banker dictated let
ter to him in which he sought to eyade
certain responsibility by making his COM
munication appear to have been written
some days previous. He instructed the
boy TO antedate the letter and the latter
respectfully requested that he do IL him
self. The banker bade him do as he was
told, declaring that he Cthe banker was
responsible for the letter and for it's date
as well. But young Gates refused, al
though he felt that II would cost him his
position. II can't make my hand perform
q lie Just because you are responsible,
SIR" he said. LAS we'll ask me to steal
from a safe for the same reason" To his
surprise he was not discharged. Instead,
on the first of the month following, his
wages were doubled and the banker ever
after trusted him as he had never before
trusted any one in a matter Of business.
Thus truthfulness was the foundation
stone Of what has turned out to be sue
cessful business career.-The Christian
Herald.

NO ROOM FOR TWO HOUSES.

Il don't believe there is at present room
for two opera houses in New York The
opera going public is not increasing fast
enough, but l see no reason why one house
should not be able to make opera profit
able. 1t is not desirable. however, to make
large sums, nor is IT the wish of the di-
rectors. The money that might otherwise
be turned TO dividends 1t is their desire to
use in improving the performances The
public wishes and is entitled to the best.
There is one other fact that / should
like to impress upon the public. This is
that the Metropolitan Opera House is no
mere social function. 1t is an institution
that harbors all that is best in the operate
world. II is meant for the public, and the
public that comes will always find itself
courteously treated Any act Of discour-
tesy reported will at once be attended TO
but as the opera house is run to-day l
think there will be little cause for COM
Dlaint "
