It does not alow that what is good morals for the Bronx is bad ar Manhatta: But tennis in of course, iberty of ‘sport. But let us hope that the Staten Island field will be ibject to no restraining rules beyond those goverriug boisterous behavior. and that the same rules will hold ood throngh the seven days.

Last week we gave an account of the cash boy who fose to be managing partner of Boston's largest depart- | ment store, To-day there is news of interest from Munich, where the Wagner Festival is in progress, con- erning the daughter of a woman who was an employee years ago. ‘This is Lilllan Nordica, who has won an added repu- ! station by her singing of Wagnerian roles there so that tor Von Possart has written to her: “Your ex- linary success leads me to beg you to give the ternational public and the people of Munich tn attend- ‘Bt;the festival another opportunity to witness your ly interpretation.” A signal honor, indeed! The little Maine girl with the fare voice, charity student at the Boston Conservatory, (e@hurch choir singer in Roxbury, now selected in prefer- to European prima donnas, and in spite of national judice, to sing Wagner to the most critical of Is it to be wondered at in view of the stage’s extraor- rewards for genuine talent that the ambitious ine mind inclines toward it for a career? Adelaide fellson, the gypsy's daughter; Marcella Sembrich up in @ family circle listening to Patti; Margaret Anglin in e gtage and asking herself how she in her place would Mnterpret the lines of the play—if the talent is there the / fame will come. The opportunity may be long delayed. | Blanche Ring told Miss Kearney that it took her “nine years to get a chance on Broadway.” But eventually the opportunity arisee, the dressmaker's faughter from Farmington, Me., sings at $1,000 a night Metropolitan, and the Rockland (Me.) schoolgirl \eharms Broadway with her beauty and grace in “When ‘We Were Twenty-one.” It's an irresistible lure. The struck” girl has much to allege in excuse of her tion. SUICIDE FIGURES. Statistics of suicide for the year 1902 show a seem- inexplicable increase for Hoboken, The rate for trelty was 35.7 per 100,000, as against 21 for Greater York, and as against 4.6 for Hoboken during the ten-year period. Why should the brief journey the North River so increase the despair which relief in death? » In Hoboken 1s the schuetzenfest, with {ts medals and and gemuethlichkeit; beer and wienerwurst in limited quantities and of superior quality; easy-going who marry young couples for the asking; -Heldelbergs on the hills, cool and inviting; icline railways; the Hudson County Boulevard and attractions too numerous to catalogue. Once the of the country estates of rich New Yorkers, the ds still an attractive residence region for those of ite means. The tenement-house has not invaded ; it remains a town of detached homes, with bits of and an occasional garden plot. It might have been duferred that the rate of suicide there would be as low as it actually is surprisingly high. For New York itself, why is the rate now per ,000 where in the early part of the last century, | wen the years 1829 and 1853, it was as low as 8 fe seem to get the explanation in the figures for of Irish origin, 19.3 for German and 22 for French. in the high German rate we have the explanation ken's extraordinary record of self-destruction, RHE PHONOGRAPH'S NEW ROLE. ) )The usefulness of the phonograph has been extended Phonograph’s merits as an ald in ew ear eby been better\taught than were their the old bie the greater extent of park area tn the) Wtlying districts of the greater city explains the larger | im the dressmaking department of this same store many | @ balcony following Viola Allen's every movement on | tionalities, showing 6.8 for native Americans, 6.1 for |, ‘Philadelphia to the teaching of parrots.

GENUINE RUSSIAN TEA, enuine Russian tea is a very different beverage from {ts namesake in this country. The only point of similarity, ites in the use of lemon in the tea in place of cream. To make the genuine tea, pour a Uttle freshly bofled water over three heaping teaspoonfuls of Russian caravan tea or English breakfast in a teapot. Let it stand for @ moment or two, then draw off the water. Next pour im three pints of boiling water and a half glass of Jamaica rum. Let it infuse for a few moments, then serve with thin slices of lemon and sugar. A decanter of old Jamaica rum usually accompanies the tea, OUR PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS. From the professional schools of the United States. there were graduated last year: In theology,’1,685; in Inw, 2,986: in medicine, 5,472; in dentistry, 2811; In pharmacy, 8,978; im veterinary medicine, 19. The number of students in theology has remained practically stationary since 1800. Medical stu- dents have increased 73 per cent. and students of law to the remarkable extent of 202 per cent, In this period the men ini $ attending the colleges have increased 63 per cent. and the women 189 per cent.—a relation which some will find grath' tying and others will regard as ominous, : STORIES OF ELECTRICITY. ier Not long ago a New Hngland electrical engineer, who ac cidentaily got a needle stuck into his leg, twisted some wires about @ piece of fron and connected the wires with # dynamo. Then with the magnet thus made he pulled the bit; of ateel from the wound. About the same time <n apprentice | in the Mare Island Navy-Yani, in California’. was injured in the face by some bits of steel from a token tool. The, surgeon failed to extract all the pleces and the wound in~| flamed. The chief electrician then improvised a magoet | capable of ghting 800 pounds and held {t in front of the| boys’ face, when the remaining bit of steel few out of the} wound as promptly as if {t had been sent for. Now if some one would invent a magnet that would pull slivers out of @| boy's fingers thousands of young Americans would rise an@ call him blessed.
