Development of Opera.

Opera has made extensive strides
during the last century, although it's
origin is very remote. 1t came through
a gradual course of development from
almost the beginning of the Christian
era; earliest librcttists were such emf
nent men as AeSchylus and Sophocles.
who accompanied their spoken drama
with band of Tyres and flutes.
But grand opera, as we understand
it today, originated about the end of
the sixteenth century, when Jacapo
PERKS opera, "Dafne," was first pre-
scented. 1t originated through the
gathering of a small party of music
lovers at the home of Il Florentine no.
bleman. Theories grew into actuaii-
ties when a performance of "Dafne"
was celebrated in the palace of Corsi
in 1895. This opera was successfully
performed several times, but always in
private, and now the score is not dis
coverable.

cHILDREN'S WORK AT HOME
Well That They Should Be Given Re-.
sponsibiIities Suitable to Their
Age and Physical Strength.

A home that is a home is the result
of the combined efforts and good will
of those who dwell together within
the house. In this cooperative enter
prise none should be deprived of the
benefit which comes from carrying re-
sponsibility and contributing to the
general good. Hence, every child
should be given duties to perform in
that home as well as privileges to en-
joy. IT is doubtful if child should
be paid for performing his share of
the home duties. Each child should
care for his own room and should do
this properly at the right time. Ger
tain other household or farm tasks
should be allotted to him-nOt tasks
that Will delay him in starting to
school, not those that will exhaust
him at night, or those too heavy for
his immature body, but such work as
is reasonable in kind and quantity
should be given to him from his earli-
est years. More boys and girls are in
danger of having too little to do in
the modern home than too much.
Setting tables. washing dishes, car
ing for the sitting ROOM" feeding
chickens, sweeping porches and walks
are all tasks within the strength of
the little school girl, and boy who
always sees that the wOodboX is filed
the kindling split, the snow shoveled
from the path and certain barn duties
! are done will be n more trustworthy
citizen in later years than the boy for
| whom all things are done and who
| does for no one.-From the Fedora

ASSERTS MULES LOVE MUSIC
A California Farmer Has His Phono-
graph Play When He is Train
ing Them,

The Colorado farmer who gets more
milk from his cows by giving them a
dash of grand opera and a bit of rag
time on his monograph is not a pio-
neer in this novel field of farm eff
cheney.
George A. Gage of Suffer county,
California. claims to be the first "mu-
steal farmer"
Gage raises mules and horses. He
has big music box on his farm and
he plays band pieces, preferably sooth-
ing melodies and waltzes, when he is
breaking his mule colts.
Mules love music" said Gage. ~
discovered that ten years ago when
drove Benjamin Harrison-the orneri-
est old mule you ever saw-to Yuba
City when brass band was playing.
THE mule had one of his balky, CON
trary spells that day, and could hard
ly do a thing with BENJAMIN until we
got to Yuba City. You'd never believe
/ it If / told you the change just a few
band selections made in that animal
From that day until Benjamin's death
he was the gentlest, lOvingest old mule
you ever would want to see.
THAT gave me an idea. When !
break my mule colts now | always have
| the monograph play. 1t seems to at
| tract the mules attention from the
| harness and wagon.
Horses don't seem to be affected
much. But mules are nearer human
/ than horses anyway"
Gage also AYERS his chickens like
! monograph music. but would not &C
! on record as saying ragtime made the
hens lay any more eggs.

Here's q Sure Road tn Wealth.

In the September American Maya
ziac writer III the family money de-
partment says:
There is one sure road TO wealth.
It is not 4 getrich-quick scheme, no
wildcat mining venture. no war ba.
by speculation; it is simply com.
nonsense way Of attaining small
fortune in a strictly legitimate way.
One dollar deposited in q savings
bank each week for twenty years
would amount TO $l,G12.
"Fivc dollars deposited each week
for the same length of time would be
come $4,000. The interest on this
$4,000 would be So a week Anyone
following out this plan of weekly de
posts of 50 for 20 years could at the
end of that period draw out of the
bank So each week as long as he
lived and still leave to his wife and
family at his death not only all he de
posted but half as much more.
The young man Of 20 who will save
twenty-seven and one half cents day
in savings bank paying four per cent
compound interest, and keep up these
payments or deposits till he is seventy
years Of age would have q fortune OF
$4,000, which would pay interest OF
S22 each week This interest would be
about ten times the amount saved
each week. -

Disguised Author.

There sometimes seems reason for a
complaint common among writer's of
this day that artists do not read the
texr they are to illustrate. In one OF
the leading magazines recently the
writer mentioned the fact that her
heroine was entirely bald-a circum-
stance, indeed, that might have been
deduced from the fact that she was
nearly one hundred years old
Picture the authors disgust when
the old woman was represented with
head of hair that might have served
for the advertisement of some wonder,
full ''restorative!''
Even worse seems the fate of an I'M
happy writer who wrote a story about
boy named PATSY" The artist met
amorphosed him into a girl.

Bowlers throughout New England

for the candlepin championship and
purse of 500 to be rolled by Paul Poeh-
Ter of Boston and Harold Mute of Man

which are under Poehler $ management
this year, and the second in Manchester
two nights later Poehler held the
championship for a long time and day
in and day out, season after season, I'M
doubtedly rolls higher average than
any man in the country. In over 40
games this season as captain of the
Terminal team in the Boston city
league he has hit the pins for an aver
age of Ill. He lost the championship
to Archie Walsh, who in turn was de-
feated by Chester Martel of Lowell,
Mass, and Mute trimmed Martel for the
title. Mute is a Vermont product, hay
ing developed into q wonderful bowler
| on the alleys in Barre before he went to
Manchester. Poehler made many friends
in Brattleboro when he was here last sea
son to roll exhibition games on the Ma
sonic alleys. 1t is expected that ar
rangements viii be made to have him

Creaking Floors.
lBv Mazie Y. Caruthers.l

(By Maize Y Caruthers.)
Quite often when | m snug III bed,
And all the lights are out,
Ny floor begins 10 creak, as though
Somebody walked about.
Another little boy once lived
In this house years ago
He died-this was his plarroom whcr
His toys were kept, and SO,
| like to think he comes some nights
And tiptoes round to find
The favorite playthings that he loved
And had to leave behind.
That S why | put my building blocks
And soldiers on the floor,
And hitch my dappled rocking horse
Quite near the open door;
And, Whcn the creaRing noise begins,
hardly move-for then,
feel quite sure that boy has come
Back home to play again,

tee amendments. Senator Poindexter
offered an amendment to exclude from
admission 70 the United States all i'm
migrants incapable of becoming natur-
allied American citizens, which failed,
81 TO "a.
Senator Phelau = amendment TO ex-
clude women not married according to
American law where men of the same
race are excluded was defeated without
Il record vote. The Senator explained
that il was intended TO prevent admis.
sion of so-ealled picture brides, who
come from Japan when their photo
graphs bring requests for them as wives
Tor japanese residents of the United
States.
The most sweeping Of the committee
amendments adopted was the one which
requires the immigrant 10 state under
oath before he is permitted to enter,
tho purpose for which he is coming to
the United States, how long he intends
TO stay, 10 state that he is not coming
for temporary employment with the III
tention of returning to his own coun-
try within short time, and hnally 70
say whether he has any intention of
returning TO the country whence he
came.
This amendment is aimed at the i'm.
migrants from southern Europe who
have come to the United States in re.
cent years and after staying long
enough TO acquire a few hundred dol
lars in savings have returned with the
money 10 the land whence they came.
Another amendment offered by the
immigration committee aud adopted by
the senate excludes persons who have
come to the United states and later
returned to their native land to take
up arms against n country with which
the United States is at peace. This
amendment is aimed at the rescrviSts
and others who returned to Europe dur
ing the present war to enlist for ser
vice. Under the terms none Of them
