The Soprano Yielded.

Mme. Rose was the leading soprano of Basta’s opera troupe, a beautiful singer and worth her weight in gold. One night Rose was indisposed and, ol course, she thought she couldn't sing. With a queenly air she strolled into the theater just as the chorus girls were filing in and sought the manager him* self. Basta heard the story and then looked surprised. “Vy, my dear Mad-dam Rose, eet ees impossible. You are ze leading soprano of ze troupe, n’est-ce pas, and ve can not get along without ze leading lady." Bose shook her head. “Well, it’s no use. I am sick, and I cannot sing, positively. " Basta looked broken-hearted. Then a bright smile grew on his ruddy face. “Ah, no, mad-dam, zat ees true. You can not sing positively.” Then, with a charming nod, he added, “but ,yqu can sang superlatively.” She sang.

The North Pole and Equator

Are not more widely distinct than- the standard tonic, stimulant and alterative, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, and the cheap and fiery local bitters which unscrupulous venders foist upon the unwary as medicated preparations with remedial properties. The latter are usually composed In the main of half rectified alcoholic excitants, with some wretched drug combined to disguise their real flavor, and are perfectly ruinous to the coats of the stomach. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, on the contrary, has for its basis choice spirits of absolute purity, and this is modified and combined with medicinal extracts of rare excellence and botanic origin, which both invigorate and regulate the bowels, stomach and liver. They effect a radical change in the disordered physical economy, which is manifested by a speedy improvement m the general health.

To Preserve Picture

A new method of preserving pictures is being experimented with in London. It consists of placing the surface of the picture, be it canvas or paper, in a vacuum, thus protecting it from atmospheric action. The picture is inclosed in a metal frame or case, covering the back and sides and projecting from the sides like an ordinary frame. A plate of glass is inserted in the edges of the case, just as in the ordinary frame, and hermetically sealed to the metal. The air is then withdrawn from between the surface of the picture and the glass and the painting is in a vacuum. It is believed this plan will effectually protect pictures from the action of dampness, air, gases and other causes that operate to destroy paintings exposed or framed in the ordinary way.

HOW TO SPEND TEN DAYS AT THE FAIR MOST PROFITABLY. Don’t Squander Time and Money in Aimless Wanderings—Begin with a New Group Every Morning and End by Making the Grand Tour. Unfold Its Glories Slowly. World’s Fair correspondence: Time will be money at the World’s Fair, and some there will be who having a month will squander it in aimless wanderings unguided by knowledge or any definite purpose. Others will wisely spend ten golden days as if they were so many weeks and will take away with them into workaday life a treasury of vivid impressions that will retifrn the expenditure a hundredfold. However you come, whether for profit or the pleasures of eight-seeing, your purpose will be defeated if a haphazard method is followed. Before you leave home read up on the fair. A catalogue is a very good thing in the Fine Arts Building, or if you are making a study of a special line of exhibits, otherwise it serves but to pile up your mind with useless lumber. Decide upon what you want to see before you come at all, and see that first. Each day have a clearly defined idea of what you want to do and how to do it with the least expense of time and energy. Don’t be diverted from your purpose by the thousand and one distractions that will beset you on every side, for the World’s Fair will have many gorgeous and absorbing tales to tell, and each will insidiously suggest another, as did in the fertile brain of Scheherazade. You have to consider that the World’s Columbian Exposition is a great city in Itself, that extends over an area of 500 acres and measures a mile and a half within its northern and southern limits; a city laid out on such spaciofis lines that to cover its streets and waterways is a day’s journey; a city ideally planned, where every house is a palace enriched beyond description within and without, and to any and all of which might be applied the name bestowed on St. Peter’s in “The Marble Faun”—“a great jewel casket.” Don't Be Tempted Aside. The buildings will seem huddled together inconsequently to the visitor who comes upon them unprepared. The vastness of the Fair, the distances lent by the fine study of perspective, and the endless succession of beautiful vistas

and detail will bewilder the senses so that you are likely to leave it all confused and dazzled as if you had been lost in an Oriental labyrinth. You will be enraptured by a hundred things. A noble dome wrought in a sad sincerity, a classic colonnade, a bridge like the Bridge of Sighs, a statue, fountain, fresco, some untold wonder of floriculture, a roof of red Spanish tiles, a cluster of aerial minarets, or a glimpse of the Midway Plaisance, that, like the green fairy of absinthe, is not to be looked upon and resisted. Then there will be the babel of strange tongues and the briberies of foreign wares and ifnholy rites and customs to beguile you from your purpose. A strong temptation will be upon you to see the whole fair grounds the first day, or rather to drift whithersoever the fancy of the moment listeth—a temptation that I am not sure I should be able to resist, but one to which it would not be wise to yield unless you have at least a month for your visit. Let the wonders unfold themselves in sections for the traditional nine days, and on the tenth day bind the fragments of your impressions together by taking the grand tour. Study the plan of the grounds as a lesson at school, and the arrangements apparently so complex will be seen to be very simple and easily divisible into groups, taking any point as a center. The west boundary line of Jackson Park is pierced by gates at every street, so that to reach the most remote part of the fair it is necessary to walk only the width of the grounds. On the lake front the entrance is at the south end through the casino. On the first day of a visit to the Fair, or if I had but one day, I should go by water, see the great statue of the republic from the long pier, walk to the arch in the middle of the peristyle that connects the casino with the Music Hall and look up the grand court. This Is the Arc de Triomph of the exposition. On the top of it a colossal group repre-

THE CHILDREN'S BUILDING.

Bents Columbus making a triumphal entry into a new world in something that looks like a Roman chariot. You might think this was meant for the chariot race from “Ben Hur,” but the anachronism is explained to be symbolic and consistent with the canons of art. Make your fi’-st entrance here and your last exit and you will have two pictures hung on the walls of memory that will never fade. It is the Venice of the days when the Doge wedded the sea at his feet with a golden ring. Before you is a basin of water ten acres in extent, with shelving banks of green turf and broad flights of steps that lead up to palaces so vast, so white, of such aerial grace that they seem to be of the stuff that dreams are made. At the farthest end, completing the inclosure of this Venetian grand canal, is the architectural glory of the World’s Fair—the lofty golden dome of the Administration Building, piercing % sky blue as lapiz lazuli. On the one side stretch the Corinthian columns of the Liberal Arts Building, and on the other the renaissance' facade of the Agricultural Hall, with the St. Gaudens Diana poised on the dome. East of this, on a little promontory, is the ancient monastery of La Rabida, with its historical treasures. Beyond there are glimpses of other palaces and of bridges spanning the streets of water between. G'ories Taken In Group?. The buildings about the grand court, including the forestry exhibit, machinery hall, and the model dairy and stock pavilion to the south, constitute one group for convenience in sight-seeing that, may occupy a day or a month. Farther west the electricity, mines and

mlntng, and transportation buildings form another about the south' end of the lagoon. In leaving the mines building at the northern entrance the Pompeiian frescoes of the transportarion building will come upon you as a gorgeous surprise. After the white wonders of the grand court, the warm terracotta walls, brilliant frescoing of the frieze, bronzed statuary, series of ornate arches of Romanesque design, and the glory of the golden door will seem an opulent dream that runs the whole chromatic in riotous splendor. This Is beautifully set off by the greenery in the horticultural hall to the north and the architectural scheme of the west side of the lagoon is completed In the classic repose of the Woman’s building. To these last two seems to belong especially the sylvan beautlss of the wooded island with its hunters* camp, odorous rose garden and the almost feminine delicacy of treatment of the Japanese phoenix palace. The fourth group lies at the north end of the lagoon, and includes the

THE ROLLER CHAIR.

beautiful Spanish Romanesque fisheries building, whose exterior is a joy forever; the Government building directly south of it, with Uncle Sam’s Interesting exhibit, and the curious headquarters of all foreign countries along the northeast shore. There remains then to be seen the Fine Arts Building with the headquarters of the States grouped about it and the Midway Plaisance, in which, in your least responsible hours, you may find endless diversion, eat heathen fare and part with much money. For the Midway Plaisance will be like the Joppa gate of Jem Salem when the Nazarenes went up to pay their taxes; the tax gatherers will be there also. These suggestions are for the great majority who, having no special object In view, would see the most in a limited time. Just the seeing of it in this way will be a liberal education of all the faculties, and to many some dormant talent will coms out and give to life a more absorbing interest. The student will follow a different method and like a bee find the flowers whose honey is for him, scattered though they are over the wide field of the Fair. Last Day’s Grand Tour. Having seen it all in sections, systematically, on the day you pay your last visit bind the fragments of your impressions together by taking the grand tour. Get a bird’s-eye view from the elevated railway, another from the Ferris wheel on the plaisance; another out over the lake and along the shore from the roof garden of the Casino. See it all from below; from the canopied cushions of a gondola or the deck of a steam launch. Take your morning coffee in Constantinople, on the piaisance, your noon lunch at the Japanese tea house, your dinner at the Casino, and watch the lights of a myriad gay water craft flash back from the ripples. Listen to the mighty jubilate of the organ in festival hall. Go alone to the

little promontory and have thoughts of the man who in this monastery of La Rabida dreamed of this strange new world that has such wonders in it. Push out to sea from the pier by the light of the electric fountain that bathes the statue es the republic and streams along the classic promenade of the peristyle; view from the water afar off, so that it will remain with you un forgotten—the White City of but one summer whose pinnacles, turrets, towers, and domes glitter with a million restless lights.

WONDERS OF THE SHOW.

Random Notes that Serve to Show the Bigness of the Fair. The fountains throw streams 150 feet in the stir. Twenty gondolas manned by Venetian gondoliers, four State barges, forty-five electric launches,twenty steam launches and six steamboats navigate the interior waters of the Fair. Fourteenhundren children sing in the choruses. Fifty-two boilers in a row, each of different manufacture, constitute a bank of power, (>OO feet front, the greatest in the world. Forty-five engines are in the power plant, not including motors scattered all through the White City. There is one engine twice as large as the great Corliss over which the world wondered at the Centennial. The pictures in-the art rooms, if hung upon one line, would cover a mile. Yet the French judges were forced to send back 1,500 worthy of exhibition because there was not room. A statuette of Emperor William of Germany on horseback contains 1,500 silver dollars. The section of a tree, shown by its circles to be 401 years old—a sapling when Columbus landed—is in the forestry section of the Government building. Pennsylvania has put up a pyramid of anthracite blocks, ten feet square at the base and fifty-two feet high, guaranteed to contain just 100 tons. Wisconsin has a five-acre patch of cranberries growing, and will harvest a crop in September. A dwarf cedar 300 years old was sent from Japan, but one Chicago winter was too much for It. The little tree is dead. ,

The Wigan Junction colliery in Lancashire, England, has sent a twelve-ton lump of cannel coal. From George’s Creek, in Allegheny County, Md., has come a larger lump, 15 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 3 feet thick. But the Rosyln lump from the State of Washington is larger than either and the largest ever mined. It is 5 feet thick, 26 feet long, aad weighs over 50,000 pounds

NEGRO CAMP.

Harder & Co., in the vicinity of section 10, resulting in the loss of seven lives, and the serious wounding of a' score of others. The names of those killed, all of whom were Poles, are not known, and there are conflicting statements as to the number killed, it being reported that some of the strikers fell into the canal when shot. With a hoarse shout 400 men marched out of Lemont in the mornin# at 11 o’clock down the new drainage canal toward Lockport. They were Poliih strikers. All the morning the forces had been gathering at the saloons and groceries and every hour added to the number. There wa- no recognized leader and the straggling throng, armed with clubs, knives, and revolvers, moved in irregular lines, shouting, singing, and talking. The language used was Polish. The' persons to be driven out by the organized men were the negroes employed by contractors on the rock work of the canal. The white inen have long objected to the colored men who were brought to Chicag > from the South. Protests availed little. Then the strike followed. For three weeks the men have held out, but the contractors have kept their colored help steadily employed. The whites made threats and the contractors declared they would stand by the black men from Alabama, even if Winchesters and Sheriff’s posses were necessary. The first real trouble broke out the latter part of last week, and the Sheriff of Will County and the Sheriff of Cook County were called on

for assistance. Deputies were sent down and placed in charge of other Deputies. For a time the limited force Was sufficient. The idle strikers spent the days in drinking and talking over the trouble until their grievances grew, to their thinking, intolerable; Threats were common and small riots became frequent. When the Sheriff’s men came upon the scene the strikers were aggravated, and declared that they would clean out the officers Of the law and drive away ihe negro labor along the entire length of the drainage canal. It was for this purpose that the motley crowd left Lemont, expecting to meet the Sheriff’s posse at every point On the way down the strikers received reenforcements, and in some instances they stopped and compelled workingmen to join them. Fired on the Striker*. The vanguard of the strikers saw the deputy sheriff and his posse through a gap in the rough wall of Btone and dirt, and word went back. A few minutes later the strikers had taken a position behind the barrier and were ready for action.” The deputies, fllty in number, were all armed with Winchesters, and a dozen of the sheriff’s men were mounted. A puff of smoke from the bank that protected the strikers was followed by the report from a revolver, and a bullet whistled uneasily by the heads of the mounted men. Without waiting for the word of command the deputies returned the fire. At the time a dozen strikers' were hurrying past the break in the wall. Three men pitched headlong into the dust. A shout greeted the volley, and a cloud of stones was hustled over the barricade into the squad of deputies. Several shots also answered the fire of the Winchesters. The striking quarrymen fell back. Their retreat soon became headlong confusion, and they rushed madly up the canal, fearful of the death-dealing bullets.

The van of the flying strikers reached Lemont, and the news of the conflict spread like wildfire. Soon the whole town was out, and express wagons and all sorts of conveyances were taken down to gather up the wounded. All of them live In Lemont During the conflict the deputy sheriffs succeeded in capturing thirty-two of iho strikers. Two of them, who were mortally wounded, dragged themselves into the woods and died there. Several guns and revolvers were captured by the deputies. The sheriffs of Cook and Will Counties, fearing further bloodshed, telegraphed Gov. Altgeld for troops to quell the disturbance, and in response the Governor issued an order for the Second and Third Regiments to proceed immediately to the scene of the trouble and remain there until order was restored.

Do You Wish the Finest Bread and Cake? It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest, most delicious food. The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome food. Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble ? Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and render the food unwholesome. Certain protection from alum baking powders can be had by declining to accept any substitute for the Royal, which is absolutely pure.

CAT OF THE SIERRAS.

Hunting the Mountain Lion in Southern California. While making the descent, says a writer in the Californian, the hunters camo suddenly to a huge rock that projected from the mountain, extending toward a like mass on the opposite side of the chasm. On reaching it, Don Felipe uttered a cry of precaution, and pointed across the canyon. There in its sanctuary stood, in strong relief against the rock, the great cat of the Sierras—the mountain lion—its head raised in a listening attitude. . The whole position was so noble and impressive that it was some seconds before the rifles cracked, and the fierce yell of the wounded animal broke the stillness. It. turned quickly and savagely, snarling and biting at the wound in its flank; then, being struck again, whirled, and blinded by pain ana fury, sprang or rolled over the precipice, and went thundering down the side of the canyon, lodging dead in the chaparral far below. “That chap was a-lying for the doe,” said the old mountaineer, as later he came up the mountain, with the skin of the lion over his back. “They kill more deer in and out of season than all the hunters in California put together; and when your folks say a mountain lion ain’t up to the mark, don’t take any stock in it No, I never knew one to kill a man; but they will tackle a grizzly, and I've seen ’em tear a horse so that the owner didn’t know him when he saw him. I’ve killed the mountain lion from the Rockies down to San Bernardino, and when they’re cornered they are as bad as a regular lion, from all I have read."

Her Money-Makers.

“Come out and see my money-mak-ers," said a lady living in the country to a friend from town who was visiting her. ‘ These,’’ she continued, as they came to a large and well-appointed hen-house, "are my ‘church hens;’ all I make out of them above expenses is devoted to religious objects. “The geese you see down there on the pond are my ‘poor and needy.’ Down beyond»that wood I keep a number of pigs—‘dress pigs’ I call them, because I buy my dresses out of what I make from them. “Those Alderney cows are my ‘theater and opera cows. ’ I saw four operas last winter out of the profits of one of them. You see that bed of strawberries? Well, we don’t call them strawberries, but ‘shoeberries,’ I buy all the children’s shoes, and my own, 100, out of the income from that strawberry patch. “These and many other little moneymaking schemes I manage myself, without troubling my husband, who works in town for a not very big salary. Consequently we have a great many comforts and luxuries that we couldn’t otherwise have; and, what is more, I thoroughly enjoy the work. ” Do not this lady’s methods suggest a host of little things which other ladles might turn to usejas money-makers, and find health and pleasure in so doing?

How Electricity Make* Light. A great number of people have but a very obscure idea of the principle of the arc and incandescent lamp, respectively. It may be slated that In the arc lamp electric discharge takes place between two pieces of hard conducting carbon, separated from eaoh other by an interval which is kept as nearly aa possible constant by automatic devices. An aic of light of intense brilliancy, called the voltaic arc, is thus obtained, The carbons, being raised to an exceedingly high temperature and exposed to the air, suffers waste by combustion, and hence require renewal. There is also a transference of particles in the direction of the current, the negative carbon increasing at the expense of the positive ono. With the view of obviating inconveniences arising from this cause, arrangements are often made for alternating the direction of the current. It is desirable both for the diffusion of light and for the lessening of its otherwise painful and injurious intensity, that a globe of ground glass should be used. In the alow or incandescent lamp, a filament of carbon Inclosed in a globe exhausted of air by a mercury pump, serves as a path along which the current passes. The resistance the electricity meets with in passing through this filament is sufficient to raise the latter to Incandescence, and a light is thus obtained more suitable for domestic purposes and the illumination of Interiors generally than that afforded by the arc lamp.
