BARBER AT CENTURY
Is HALE AND MERRY
Attributes Long Life to Med
dlesome Disposition and
Much Talk

Nowhere in the program for "Il Bar
blere di Siviglia" which was presented as
the penultimate opera at the Metropolitan
last night. and nowhere in the libretto
does the name occur of Pierre Augustin
Caron de BeaumRrchais, French wit,
dramatist, patriot and social philosopher.
THE Barber" is 100 years old this year
as an opera, and In that time the name Of
Beaumarchais, who created the sportlve
and eager factOtum Al years before Ros-
SIM turned his play into an opera. has
seemingly been forgotten.
But the Barber" with the weight of his
century upon him remains gay and divert
ing character. and the opera woven about
him abounds still in lively and spirited
humor. Fortunately the company which
sang and acted the opera last night knew
the shortcomings of the audience and
played every possible bit in the Gothic
manner. the pointed Gothic. Particularly
Basilto played by M. Malatesta and Didur
were amusing, and the Barber of NJ. de
Luca exceedingly so.
OF the lightness and delicacy and, to re-
vert to the architectural, the beautiful
and for once inoffensive archness of Nine.
Barrientos, not much can be said In
brief review. She sang as she sang in
Lucia" with slight but always pleasing
voice, with technical command of IL that
is marvellous. She added a charm and
graciousness which endeared her.
The Count of NJ, Damacco was hardly
of this company. In the rafting passages
OF patter which he shares with Figaro, NJ.
de Luca unintentionally drowned out the
tenor. and In the serenades and songs NJ
Damacco only managed to be adequate.
II was pleasant evening, about which
there should be not too much speculation.
The performance was nicely tuned to
lightness and the conductor kept always
in mind the necessities of an early 18th
century opera dressed for modern times.
II Is not an unhappy thing for US that
these ancient gaieties find still place
IN our hearts, G. V. S.

When Turkey Barred Coffee.

IL Is hard TO realize that there was a.
time when the sultans of Turkey pass
ed the most stringent laws against
coffee drinking. The same time these
laws were passed Turks were forbid
den 20 smoke tobacco. Yet at the pres
ent day the Turk can hardly be thoughts
of without his pipe or cigarette anoi
his cup of coffee.

coffee or TO smoke. IL Is related that
so determined was he TO abolish these
Dad indulgences" that he used to
walk about Constantlnople In disguise
TO detect any offender against the law.
In those early days coffee was de
nounced by preachers as one OF the
four ministers of the devil, the other
three being tobacco. opium and wine.

Mammoth Oysters.

Pliny mentions that, according 20 the
historians OF Alexanders expedition.
oysters foot In diameter were found
In the Indian seas. And Sir James
Tenant was Unexpectedly enabled to
corroborate the correctness OF this
statement. for near Trincomah enor-
nous specimens OF edible oysters were
brought before him. One of these was
found 20 measure more than eleven
inches in length by half as many In
width. rr
But this extraordinary measurement
Is beaten by the oysters OF Port Lin
coin. South Australia. which are the
largest edible ones In the world. They
are as large as a dinner plate and OF
much the same shape. They are some
times more than foot across the
shell. and the oyster FITS its habitation
so well that It does not leave much II
any margin. The delicacy OF flavor OF
the Port Lincoln mammoth is famous,
even In that land OF luxuries, and one
is ample even for hearty appetite.

The RIGHT Road.

Young man, you are a locomotive;
you are a thing that goes by power
inside of you; you are made TO go. In
fact, considered as machine. you are
very far superior TO a locomotive. The
maker OF locomotive Is a man; your
maker is mans Maker. You are as
different from horse or an OK or n
camel as a locomotive is different from
a wheelbarrow or a cart or coach.
Now, do you suppose that the being
who made you-manufactured your
machine and put into IL the motive
power-did not make special road
for you TO run upon? My idea OF re
ligion is that it Is railroad for a hu-
man locomotive and that just as sure
as 1t undertakes to run upon a road
adapted only 10 animal power 1t will
bury its wheels In the sand, dash itself
among rocks and come TO inevitable
wreck.-J. G.. Holland.

Leoond o. the Echo.

An echo Is a sound reflected from a
distant surface. Sound is produced by
waves or pulses OF the air, and when
those waves come I'm contact with a
cliff or wall or other opposing surface
they are reflected like light or heat.
aud the returning waves cause a repe-
tition OF the sound. The word echo Is
OF Greek origin. According TO ancient
mythology. II was the name OF noun.
tain nymph, daughter OF the air and
the earth. Echo was one OF Juno's at.
tendants. but her loquacity displeased
Jupiter, so she was deprived OF the
power OF speech by Juno and permitted
to answer only when she was spoken
10. Afterward Echo fell in love with
a beautiful youth named Narcissus
and was changed into stone, which
still retained the power OF voice. Nil.
ton personifes her thus:
Sweet Echo. sweetest nymph that liv's,
unseen
Within tho airy shell.
BY slow Meander's margent green,
Canst thou not tell me OF gentle pail
That likest thy Narcissus are2
