GETTING Bid of sparrow Pest.

Nowhere is the English sparrow in
cluded among the birds protected by
law, and as individuals and flocks
have an extremely narrow range, each
flock occupying one locality to which
its activities are chiefly confined, they
are easily exterminated. When
place has once been cleared of spar
rows it will be some time before it is
reoccupied.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
(By A. Sherman Hill. }

The American people are gradually, as a whole, develop ing a wider and deeper interest in the opera. From many points of view opera is the highest form of musical expression, combining, as it does, the drama, the voices and the great orches- tra. Many native composers have been highly successful in the light opera field, and as a re- suit of their success they are encouraged to undertake work i'll the larger or grand opera field. It will be a great day for music in this country when there is a real, simon-pure American opera in the English language.
 In this connection, the an- nouncement of the Aborn broth CTS of their school for opera, which has but recently opened for work in New York City, is of deep interest. The official name of the school is the "Aborn Classes for Operatic Training" :" The faculty is made up of men who are masters in their partic- ular fields. Already students have made application from all parts of the country, and Milton Aborn reports that he has held more than one hundred audi tions. It will no longer be nec- essary for aspiring American operatic students to go abroad for study if MT. Aborn's project succeeds as it should.
 There will be a larger number of operatic ventures the present season than is usual. The San Carlo Company will have it's an- nual tour; the Metropolitan will open it's season in New York in November; the Chicago Opera Company is planning for the greatest season of it's history j; the Boston Grand Opera Com pany, in connection with the great Russian Ballet Company, with Mile. Pavlowa at it's head, will tour the whole country, and in addition to these great organizations there will be nu- merous others, including the Aborn Grand Opera Company, to supply the needs of the peo- pie in operatic lines.
 It is most interesting to know who the great artists are in pri- vate life. Their professional names are familiar through their frequent appearance in the public prints, but the home name is rarely known. Madame Nordica was Mrs. James R. Young. Madame Rappold is Mrs. Rudolph Berger. Madame Nevada van der Veer is the wife of the tenor, Reed Miller. Ric-
