The "HellO" Girl.

Commercial Traveller.
Telephone girls are sweet things
who have got into the habit of say
ing cline busy" by reason of having
their pearly teeth stuck with chewing
gum. They can say it with the unc-
ton of a country girl sucking cider
through a straw; its sibilant siss has
driven many a hurried man to drink
and the "Willies," and their name of
s<hello girls" was derived from a few
million men who cut the final letter
of that word in line Of communication
with them. The first thing a hello
girl does after reaching her office is
to prink before the washroom mirror
until the clock chimes the last stroke
of her duty hour; the next to shift a
few plugs, whisper 'Is that you, Ar
tie?" in a. trickling molasses tone, and
all the helpless subscriber gets for
the next s'teen minutes is "line busy.
But if "Artie' was late ON the line
and an ancient spinster gets it on G
gossip quest, Dan Cupid does the
cussing. The only out about that
complication is the hurried man never
knows it, and so loses a sweet re-
venge on the hello angel.

Cavaleria Rusticana Here Monday.
To those who revel in the high at
tainment of vocal and instrum entail
music, as exenplified in grand opera,
and this includes nearly every indi-
vidual in the universe from the pull
pit to- prison, a few remarks will
not be Gniss concerning the coming
engagement of the English Grand
Opera Co. and Orchestra at the opera
house Monday night, April 3.
The performance is an innovation
in many notable ways.
Cavalerie Rusticana (Rustic ChiV-
alry) popular the world over, has
been heard here, and the ''intermez-
20" played during the interlude is a
familiar number to many.
Gfenbach's sparkling little operet-
ia, fsThe Rose of Auvergne," is an
other brilliantly cut musical gem,
which scintillates here for the first
time on this occasion; thus We are to
receive a double bill-a gala night,
as it is called in operate circles.
Still another attraction, also re-
jfreshingly new, and therefore doubly
acceptable, is the orchestra--a ladies'

GREATLY LOWERS DEATH RATE
Serum Cure for Spinal Meningitis Is
Announced by Rockefeller lnsti-
tute for Medical Research.

New York City.-The Rockefeller
Institute of Medical Research has
made known through an official state
ment the fact-long hoped for-that
it's often promised serum cure for
cerebro spinal meningitis was at last
so positively success that the serum
should become regular commercial
article. This announcement of con-
quering of one of the worst diseases
which has afflicted humanity is corro-
borated by the declaration that the
municipal board of health has begun
to manufacture the serum and will
give away free for time.
Experiments with monkeys brought
to Dr. Simon Flexner, the institutes
head, the discovery Of the serum
which checks the horribly painful and
fatal meningitis in its incipiency. Sub
sequent experiments with the serum
obtained from the monkeys-injected
into human spines-proved to Doctor
Flexner that the death rate from the
disease had been lowered from rs per
cent. out of every 100 to at least 10
per cent. and probably less. Never
again, eminent medical authorities
agree, can there be epidemics of men,
ingitis such as have swept American
cities within the last decade and car
ried off thousands of victims.

when he deserted the dignified, high
brow lecture platform and burst into
vaudeville, making his first appear
ance along with moving pictures and
other photographs at the Manhattan
opera house. A tremendous audience
was on hand to hear what the doctor
had to say. The doctor lost no time
in dispelling the thought that he had
become a yaudevillian for money. Art
and desire to be set right before the
world had driven him to the stage, he
admitted, and for that reason he was
anxious to tell twice day the terrible
sufferings he went through in order
to collect the photographs which he
had to show. The salary envelope was
not mentioned at all.
