re 4 Prima Donna's Lament. The older operas are losing their pop- ularity because there are so few sing- ers who can do them justice. I often wonder where the singers are to come from. There are none for the Italian operas, and there are none who will be able to take the place of the singers who have been famous in Wagner's works. Where are the women. to come from to take the places of Lilli Leh- mann, Theresa Malten and Rosa Su- cher? There are some in Germany. Certainly there are none in Italy.—April Success. How’s This?

Special excur , sions to Western Canada during March and April How “Advanee” Was Fed. (From Farmers’ Review Stenographic Report.) At the Wisconsin Round-Up Insti- tute, Stanley R. Pierce of Illinois told how he grew the steer Advance, which sold last fall for $2,145, or $1.50 per pound. He said that this animal had not been differently fed than most ani- mals intended for the show ring. Q.—How did ‘you feed Advance for the last 90 days? A.—He was fed for the last 90 days about the same as he had been fed from the time he was five months old. He had, in addition to his rough feed, corn meal, oats and bran., I fed him these at the rate of 4 quarts twice a day. He had some chopped beets, mangels or turnips. Q.—When you fed him beets chop- ped, how many did you give him per day. A.—About 10 pounds. Q.—How long did you give milk? A.—He had his mother’s milk till ; he was five months old, and after that he nursed a Shorthorn cow for two months more, after which I put him onto a grade Angus cow. Q.—When you fed oats, were the oats ground or whole? A.—They were whole. Q.—What kind of a milker was the mother of Advance? A.—She was a good milker for a few months, but at the expiration of five months dropped very rapidly in her milk yield. If she had been a better milker she would not have dropped so fine a beef calf. You can’t get a high State of development in both directions —in the direction of beef and of milk. Q.—What is your favorite breed of cattle? A.—I like the Angus best. A Farmer.—Of course he does; for that is the breed he is handling. Q.—Do you not find that you have to look after matters yourself? A.—I find it hard to secure men that will do what I tell them to do. A good many men will do well for awhile and then want to take matters into their own hands. I have to let such men go, him Ideas of Educators. At a recent meeting of the Illinois Congress of Mothers, Professor Hall, in advancing his ideas on the educa- tion of children, combated some of the older family traditions, He said he still believes “Dr. Spank” is one of the best family physicians, but he would not have children set at their lessons as early as they have been. “A boy ought not to be taught to reason things out until he is 12 years old,” he said. “If a child asks why a thing must be done before he reaches that age teld him ‘because it’s right. Argument does a child no good and the discipline of unquestioning obedience is one of the best parts of a child’s training. Nature study is the great thing for young children. I would rather have them taught about mice, or grasshop- pers, than to have them studying some of the lessons that are given them in schools.” Professor Butler talked on “Some Evidences of an Education.” He se- lected five characteristics which he considers evidences of education and enlarged upon them. “Correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue,” he said, “is one of the first evidences that reach us in an educated person. Refined and gentle manners are perhaps the indication second in importance. The power and the habit of reficction are a ready index to the person of education. The power of growth is an evidence of the first im- portance. Education and growth have almost synonymous meanings, As final evidence of education comes the power to be.” Horticultural Notes. The life-retaining property of seeds is influenced to a very great extent by the degrees of temperature and moisture to which they are exposed. Stored seeds should be guarded against both heat and moisture previous to the time of planting them; and the spring- time is the season when they are most likely to experience conditions that excite germination. The seed that has started to germinate and has’ been checked is probably of less value than the seed whose germination has been held back till it is put into the warm, moist ground. x ss Strong seeds only should be planted if large crops are to be expected, and the vitality of the seeds may be as- certained by testing them by any of the ordinary methods. There are vari- ous methods for doing this. Some use an incubator, as in that way the tem- peravure can be kept under perfect control. The mere sprouting of seeds does not indicate their ability to grow, as some seeds that sprout are so weak that they are about worthless. Then, too, some seeds that will sprout in a warm room will not do well out of doors, For this reason it is desirable to sprout seeds under varying condi- tions. Authorities on forestry say that sev- enty-five years are required for the oak to reach maturity; for the ash, larch and elm, about the same length of time; for the spruce and fir, about eighty years. After this time their growth remains stationary for some years, and then. decay begins. There are, however, some exceptions to this, for oaks are still living which are known to be 1,000 years old. In South America the Brazilian pea- sant women often take their infant down to the water and use the leaves of the Victoria Regina water lily as cradles. The leaves are often a yard in diameter, circular, and with an inch high border which stands up like the rim of a tea tray.—Chicago Record, Good Time Coming, Girls. “The girls that are growing up now will have one important advantage over the young married women of to- day.” “What's that?” “Their husbands will not be continu- ously telling them of the fine cooking their mothers used to do.” “How do you know?” “Because the cook won't allow the mothers of the coming race to stick their noses into the kitchen."”7-Chicago Times-Herald. if You Have Rheumatism Send no money, but write Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis., box 148, for six ‘bottles of Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Cure, express paid.

George Graham Tella of the Differ- ence Between Life in America and Europe. George Graham, In speaking, recent- ly, at the Hotel Victoria, of the differ- ence between living in this country and Europe, said: “I had a friend who had to put in some time in Switzerland, and so he took a house in Geneva. The house, he was assured, had all modern comforts, but he found by experience that the assurance had to be qualilfied by the phrase, ‘as modern comfort is known in Geneva.’ The house was only just completed when he moved in, and he straighway received congratulations from the merest acquaintances because of the fact that his domicile possessed a bath room. The bath was installed after he took possession, at a cost, so he asserted, of the full cost of the bath room being added yearly to the rent. However, its possession, made him a marked and important person in the community, so he did not much mind the extra cost. The warm water was supplied from a detachable gas fur- nace, which finally blew up, and after that they bather cold. The apartment was lighted by electricity, but there were no fixtures, so he had to purchase them. He said afterward that any man who had a modern apartment to rent, Geneva style, in New York, would be likely to starve to death.”— New York Tribune. In Good Quarters, When King Edward VI. was a busy boy he often went down from Windsor to Eton, where he had more than one friend at the schooll. It was by the express wish of the queen that when the Prince of Wales visited the college he was to be re- ceived with no ceremony. This was literally carried out on one occasion, when the young prince, wandering away from his gentlemen-in-waiting, was suddenly greeted by a boy with the familiar question: “What's you name? Where do you board, and who's your tutor? The prince gravely replied: ‘My name is Wales; I board at Wind- sor Castle, and my dame—not my tutor --is the queen.” Then he shook hands with the in- quirer, who, far from being abashed, mereliy remarked: “You are in very good quarters, sir.”—Chicago Chronicle, If everyone knew how good a remedy was Hamlin’s Wizard Oil its sales would double in a day.

The GUARANTEED TO CURE all bowel trowdi: Sa Fee Dr. Greene, 85 West 14th | | | | BISHOP HANDY SAYS “1 Cheerfully Recommend Peruna to All Who Want a Good Tonic and a Safe Cure for Catarrh.” Prominent members of the clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified en- dorsement. These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from catarrh of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of public speakers, and general catarrha! debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the cura- tive virtues of Peruna is the following one from Bishop James A. Handy, D. D., of Baltimore: «I take great pleasure in acknowledging the curative effects of Peruna. At the solicitation of a friend I used your remedy and cheerfully recommend your Peruna to all who want a good Tonic and a safe cure for catarrh.”"—James A. Handy. OTHER NOTABLE CURES.

Writes as follows: ‘I now take pleasure in notifying you that my husband has entirely re- covered from catarrh. He is a well man today, thanks to you and Peruna.. He took six bottles of your medicine as di- rected, and it proved to be just the thing for him. His appetite is good and every thing he eats seems to agree with him. His cough has left him and he is gaining in flesh, and seems to be well every way. I hope others will try your medicine and receive the benefits that we have.”—Mrs. Edward Stevens. ‘When the catarrh reaches the throat it is called tonsilitis, or larnygitis.

Four bottles completely cured me of catarrh of the head of several years’ standing, and if my husband feels badly, or either of us catch cold, we at once take Peruna, and in a day or two it has thrown the sickness out of the system.”—Mrs. Frederick Williams. | Mrs. W. A. Allison, of 759 Sheffield avenue, Chicago, IIl., is the Assistant Matron of the People’s Hospi- tal. She has the following to say about Peruna: “IT have had fre- quent opportuni- ties to observe the wonderful curative effects of Peruna espe- 3 cially on persons suffering with a congested condi- tion of the head, lungs, and stomach, generally called catarrh. It alleviates pain and soreness, increases the appe- tite and so tones up the entire system thatthepatientquicklyregains strength and health.”—Mrs. W. A. Allison.
