The lines are vastly amusing;
but so are the situations which
all the listeners in this land of
poor linguists apprehend. They
were. adequately defined last night
and kept the risibilities of the
public in constant state of stimu-
lation.
CLEVER ACTRESS
It was, nevertheless, a somewhat
uneven performance, with some
good song and some that was bad,
and some that was mediocre. Mar
garita Salvi, whose voice has
grown with the years, made her
accustomed display of exciting
coloratura. She knows how to
combine virtuosity and musician
ship, so that her carefully planned
notifications Of the text always
resulted in an emphasis OF the
intended effect. Between arias
she was a clever actress, boasting
as beautiful a pair of hands as
may be admired on the lyric stage
today.
Rolf Gerard seems often to be in
poor voice. When trouping with
Gallo and the San Carlo Com
pany, he was sometimes a good
AlmaVia and sometimes an made
quate one. Last night he was
more often the latter.
Angelo Pilotto is one Of those
big voiced italian baritones who
believes it is his duty to sing at
all times with the utmost volume.
In consequence he was unable to
demonstrate the facility required
by the famous Largo al facto-
tum": and in the concerted num-
bers he tended to dominate his
milder voiced colleagues.
GOOD BUFFO ROLE
Pompilio Malatesta knows all
the traditions of the buffo role,
even to the interpolated English
words which most Italians toss to
their American. audiences. He can
be dignified in absurd situations
OF course, he can't sing, that be-

First Railway Mail Was
Begun During Civil War

The railway mail service came liz
to existence during the Civil war. As
early as 1888 congress approved an
act making every railroad in the
United States a post route, and prior
to that time many railroads had
demonstrated their worth as speedy
mail carriers.
The first use made Of the facili-
ties of the railroad was slight and
generally consisted of a compart-
ment in the end of the baggage
car, which was padlocked after the
mail was slowed away and opened
after the run had been finished.
Later a larger portion of the bag
gage car was given over to the
postal authorities, who fitted it with
enough facilities for the distribution
of local way mail
This was not an American inven-
tion at all but had been copied from
similar systems in use in France,
England, and even in Canada. AL
though credit for the system which
in use has often been attributed to
George B. Armstrong, who was as
sistant postmaster in Chicago in
1864, that is not proper, for w. A.
Davis, a clerk in the st. Joseph,
Mo-, office actually conceived the
idea in 1862, according to a writer
in the Chicago Tribune.
Davis suggested that the complete
sorting of mail on the train between
Quincy and St. Joseph would allow
the overland mail to set out several
hours earlier than was the case
were the sorting done at St. Joseph.
He received permission to try out
the experiment on this line and
there are complete documents in
the files of the Post Office depart
ment and Of the Burlington railroad
to show that it was successful.

Brilliant Dunes Sumach
Recalls Indian Legend

According to the Indian legends
which flourish in the region of the
Michigan coast, one of the tribes
was driven by a forest fire from
its hunting ground to- the shores of
Lake Michigan, where the sand hills
gave them refuge from the flames,
recalls writer in the Chicago Daily
News.
Everything in the path Of the
flames had been destroyed and the
ordinarily plentiful wild life had fled
or been annihilated. Surveying the
blackened countryside, the Indians
felt they were doomed to starva-
ton, but one Indian brave volun-
teered to go in search of meat. He
departed, leaving his sweetheart,
who vowed to keep a signal fire
burning constantly on the highest
dune until his return.
Her lover never returned. The In
dian maid pined away slowly but
never failed to climb to the top of
the highest dune to keep her signal
fire lighted. One day she failed to
return to the camp the tribe had
built in the nearby valley.
Her brothers made their way to
the top of the dune and found she
had died there. They found, too,
that in the dead ashes of the signal
fire what appeared to be fame
was growing. The living fame con-
tinued to grow and to spread until
it covered all the dunes, and thus
the sumach came into being-and
still covers the Michigan dunes with
fame in autumn.

Deep-Red Rubies From Siam

Many of the best rubies have been
found in Siam in the provinces OF
Krat and Chantaboon, where are To-
Gated the principal ruby mines OF
that country. The stones are usual
ly found in detrital matter about 20
feet below the surface. The ruby
bearing gravel is less than foot in
thickness and lies between clay
bed and heavy covering of coarse
sand. The usual color of the Siam
rubies is dark red, running almost
to a blackish shade of red.

Royal Dreams Typified by Palms

The desire of every man to be a
king is typifed by Rio de Janeiro's
great number of royal palms. Dom
Joao, king at the beginning of the
Nineteenth century, had planted the
first seed of the royal palm himself
and ruled that the tree was to be
exclusively his. To preserve his
monopoly he ordered every seed
from it gathered up and burned,
but the residents of Rio who wanted
to initiate royalty bribed his slaves
to sell the seeds. AS result royal
palms soon sprang up everywhere.

Ill Luck Followed Ship

The Great Eastern or Leviathan,
as she was originally called, the
English steamer, built in 1875, at the
time the largest steamship afoat,
encountered nothing but i'll luck
from the time she was launched,
commercially a great failure. When
broken up in 1888, the cause of her
bad luck, according to sailor super
stition, came to light in the dis
covery of human skeleton wedged
between her inner and outer skins.

This youngster found temporary
home in a box car when the Missis-
sippi river flood drove him from his
own home. He took flood discom-
fort in his stride One thing that
may account for his obvious high
spirits was the fact that water short
age eliminated his Saturday night
bath and the daily scrubbing be-
behind the ears. 1t was estimated
that more than 100000 people in
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys
were rendered homeless by the food.
The known dead were estimated in
excess of 400. Contributions by citi
zens everywhere to the special re-
lief fund of the Red Cross were
more than $17,0O0,000. The storms
damage was estimated at close to

IN MEMORIAM

In loving remembrance of our dear
son and father, Joshua M. Thompson
who departed this life one year ago,
March 2, 1886.
Ore year has passed dear loved one
Since you were called away,
You suffered much and murmured not
AS we watched you day by day.
We are lonely dear son and father
without you $685.
Lonely and oh! so sad at heart,
You were our joy and sunshine
Why did we have to part?
Sad today our troubled hearts
And dim our eyes with tears,
For death has robbed us of the one
We thought was ours for years.
With his Savior, he is waiting
In that Upper Garden fair,
He is watching for our coming;
There will be no parti G there.

Just one year ago dear mother
You were called from me to rest
But l know twas God who called you
And he doeth all things best.
In my heart your memory fingers
Sweetly, tender, fond and true,
There is not day dear mother,
That do not think of you.
Yes dear mother, you have left me
Gone from me for ever more,
But I hope to meet you mother,
On that bright and happy shore.
A precious one from me is gone
A voice I loved is stilled,
A chair is vacant in my home
Which never can be filled.
