pevelonment of Onera.

Opera has made extensive strides
during the last century although its
origin Is very remote. 1t came through
a gradual course of development from
almost the beginning of the Christian
era earliest librettists 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
1t today, originated about the end of
the sixteenth century, when Jacopo
PERKS opera, "Dafne,' was first pre-
sented. 1t originated Through the
gathering of small party of music
lovers at the home of q Florentine no
bleman. Theories grew into actuali-
ties when performance of "Dafne"
was celebrated in the palace of COrsi
In 1906. This opera was successfully
performed several times, but always in
private, and now the score is not dis
coverable.

Disuusted Author.

There sometimes seems reason for Il
complaint common among writer's OF
this day that artists do not read the
text they are to illustrate. In one OF
the leading magazines recently ths
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,

Even worse seems the fate of an un-
happy writer who wrote story about
q boy named Patsy" The artist met.

FACE NEW ORDER OF THINGS
Parents Do Well to Adapt Themselves
TO Modern Ways in ConVersing
With Their Children.

There is q good deal more of life
and fire and color In the talk of the
young today than there was in the
speech of an older day. Many an adult
is Ill at ease in a group Of young peo-
pie now. His talk Is much duller than
that of the young people around him.
They can use figures of speech; they
can employ dynamic and striking
phrases; In brief, their speech scintil-
lates, while his moves along in Il rath-
er heavy, conventional, formal way.
This Is the new order of things In
American life. 1t Is inevitable, con-
sidering that we are becoming con-
stantly more gregarious. We see
great deal more of one another than
we did of old; and so we have to talk
more freely and more ANONYMOUSLY
than was required when social life was
much simpler than 1t Is now.
So children must be heard as well as
seen. But shall we release the brakes
altogether, and let them run without
check? People can talk so much that
they become unduly excited unstable
and erratic. A child who rushes in to
the table from the street, and keeps
talking In tense, excited way Is over
doing the talking business. In some
way he ought to be quoted. He should
be helped to get hold of himself. He
Is running with the throttle open.
This problem could be settled sat
isfactorily, and to the advantage of
everybody concerned, If the father and
the mother could talk so as to inter
est their children. When a parent can
tell good story or describe a happen
ing of the day In a colorful manner,
he can get his children to listen, and
they will be benefited In body and
mind by SO dotng.-M. V. O'Shea in
The Mothers Magazine.

QUEER FREAKS OF NATURE
River of Pure Ink In Algeria--Siberian
Streams Flow over Beds of Solid
lce-Snging Well.

A river of Ink is formed In Algeria
of one being impregnated with iron
and the other, which drains a great
swamp, with gallia acid. This combiDa-
ton of iron and acid forms pure ink.
In Siberia rivers flow over ice, old
and solid as rock. A tributary of the
Lena river has underneath the soil
which forms the bed of the river, IA bed
of pure Ice, over nine feet thick. A
freak of nature is 1.-THE lost river in
Kentucky. 1t is known as the Hidden
river, because no one knows its origin,
and II vanishes into cave leading no
one knows where. 1t flows without a
ripple, and is of pale, blush color.
A singing well is one of the natural
curiosities of Texas. In fine weather
a sound like that Of an ae0lian harp
is given out by the well. At times the
sound Is clear; then 1t recedes, as If
far away; and then 1t reaches the ear
very family. These changes take place
every few minutes, and with great reg
ularity.
With an east wind blowing the wa
ter In the well gets very low, and the
mysterious musical sound Is faint. A
strong west wind causes the water to
rise and the sound to increase in vol
ume and clearness. Before Il north
wind the well plays it's widest pranks.
The water rises nearly to the top of
the well, which Is about sixty feet
deep, and gives out wild, weird noises.

TERMS ON SUBSCRIPTION

The high cost OF living 10 due IN
part to poor country roads, govern
ment investigators find, because one
dollar In every 20 OF the total market
cost OF the IL main agricultural prod
ucts of the United States goes to pay
for hauling from the farm to the sale
or railroad shipping point.
The investigators find that 1t costs,
ON the average, as much to haul a
ton of foodsutffs one mile from the
average farm over average country
roads as 1t costs to send that same
ton from 300 to 500 miles ON a rail-
road.
The farmer loses because his cost
of hauling to the shipping point ist
too great. The consumer pays part
of the farmers loss, but he, too,
loses, and his disproportionately large
initial delivery cost sends UP prices
all along the line. Part of that loss
might well go into paying for good
roads, and we'd all be gamers.
And nowhere lis this truer than
right around Mountain Home. For
long seasons every year the roads
that lead out of this city are nearly
impassable. The money that is raised
In taxes has for years been dissi-
pated in patching dirt roads. While
probably an average of $4,000 year
has been spent In the Mountain
Home district each year for rs
years, we have not one mile of good
hard road to show for the 500, 900.
The Bruneau road between this city
and the rim-rock is In such shape
that 1t 10 an insistent invitation to
the people of that territory to keep
out of Mountain Home. And that La
the best trade territory that Noun
tain Home possesses. The time Ia
here when, we should vote bond
Issue and build roads. And real
roads Nt that. And build them
where they will bring trade to Noun
tain Home. II the money Ia spent
on roads and not ON fattening some
contractor 100000 Ia money enough
to build 20 miles of road that will
stand up at all seasons of the year
and will add more to the prosperity
OF Mountain Home than anything
that has been done-or proposed
here In the last 20 years.
