ORCHESTRA
AGAIN TRIUMPHS

The third subscription concert OF
the Philadelphia Orchestra, which was
given in the Grand Opera House last
evening, surpassed all expectations,
and was attended by an enthusiastic
audience, which in numbers far ex-
ceeded the preceding concerts. The
wonderful genius of the leader, Leo
pold Stokowski, which has made IT.
self markedly noticeable as the sea-
son has progressed. was displayed to
the utmost fullness in the concert
last evening
Mendelssohn's beautiful Scotch"
Symphony was truly typical of the
'bonne banks and braes," the High
land life, the scream Of the wind and
the bag-pipes, being most naturally
typifed in the "Scherzo,' which oc-
cupies the second movement Of the
Symphony. There was a return to
the solemn in the notes of the Adagio
solemn almost to sadness as the
sweet strains of the deep. full chords
(at times seeming almost like an or
gam pulsated and throbbed with an
intensity of feeling. and, in entirety
it was full of an appealing beauty,
which went directly to the hearts Of
the audience. Entirely different was
the Scottish Finale, but beautiful, too,
with a warlike stupendous beauty, and
the clashing chords which we're signi-
ticant of the majestic ending.
The wondrous beauties of the Peer
Gynt Suite No. l." were received
with well mented appreciation. The
music of the whole movement, was
full of an intense weirdness which
thrilled the heart. the weird, almost
funeral-like notes, seeming almost
magnetic in their solemn beauty.
Even yet more unearthly and
ghostly seemed the music IN the
fourth and last movement, but thor
oughly descriptive and most beautiful
and most appreciated as was shown
by the appluse which greeted it, at
the close-an applause so continuous
that Mr. Stokowski was obliged to re-
spond to an encore-and once again
did the notes of the wild scene in the
hall of the Mountain King, ring out,
gradually growing rougher and more
boisterous until they rose to crash
ing notes of thunderous proportions
in the grand finale.
The two operate selections by the
soloist, Miss Viola Brodbeck. display
ed to the best advantage, her high
soprano voice, with its tones Of

AFTER DISIN FECTING. WHITE
WASH THE STABLE.

Although ~whitewash is not an active
0isinfectant. in the usual meaning Of
the term, ii is an excellent purifier
and should in all cases be used in
stables after they have been thor
oughly cleansed and disinfected with
other agents. Hot WhiteWash for this
purpose is better than cold. If chic
ride of lime is added to whitewash in
the proportion of four ounces to the
gallon. the value Of this application
is greatly increased. 1t is advisable to
whitewash GOV stables frequently, at
least once in six months, and better
every three months where diseased
animals have been kept.

Bowel troubles in calves are some
times caused by milk that is Excess
sively rich. Milk that is moderate or
low in butter fat is usually better for
young calves. Indigestion in older
calves is usually due to unc1ean milk
or feed, unclean vessels, close confine-
ment in dark, unsanitary stalls, and
irregular or excessive feeding. In
some cases it appears to be due main
~ to sheer weakness and inability to
digest.
