ITDSIC AND THE DRAMA. What a Drop from Pinafore" Dar to tbe Current Hybrid Inanities. The light and agrees form of entertainment not quite accurately called ''comic opera has N beea through some Interesting changes since James C. Duff brought "II. M. S. Pinafore" to this country nearly thirty years ago, says tlie, New York Sun. Previous to that time French opera bouffe and German operetta, both with the texts In the original, gratified the small public arpetltc for this kind of performance. But with the disclosure of W. S. Gilbert's new rein of humor and his highly polished English dialogue and, lyrics began tbe popularity of comic' opera In the language of this country. Even after the advent of the Gilbert Sullivan product comic opera was chiefly trrawn from French and German sources, and the names of Au dran, Lecocq, Planquette, Suppe, Dellinger and Strauss were printed often la the show tyie of the theatrical posters. Then came the period of the socalled farce comedy," in which literary cTeretxePS, consistent fooling and artistic no man's land gave way to horseplay, nonsense and the humor of the -street. From this emerged a species of comic opera which was a hybrid and a very poor one at that, and a form of entertalnment Incapable cf an appeal to the most cultured taste became the pastime of those who seek the theater In Eearch of momeiuary occupation i"or Idle mfnds. And now a new form has arrived. This consists of a sentimental tote of tbe Laura Jean Libby type develoiicd along dramatic lines laid down In the masterpieces of Kremer, Elaney and George M. Cohan, and crudely fnterropted at various Inopportune moments by songs sometimes pitiably pathetic and at other times even more pitiably comic. Protrably this sort of thlDg will have a fleeting vogue, for it Is a large coudtry and its theatrical digestion is youn and vigorous. Nevertheless, it Is safe to say that if another Gilbert were to arise with a new vein of polished wit he would easily find his Sullivan, and comic opera would emerge from the Arermis into which it has easily descended. Meanwhile, those who have an interest in theatrical attempts may observe with wonder the prevalent essays st decorating lugubrious melodrama whith show girls, voiceless o medlflis and the clnral dance.

Maurlct Raring, the author of "A Year in Russia," relates an experience with a Chinaman who, while the author was il Manchuria, came from a house in tha tumbledown village at which a mld-daj halt had been made, and announced that his child was ill and that he sought a doctor. Mr. Baring, who had some medical knowledge, went to the heuse, wher lay a brown and naked infant witn a very fat stomach. He made the baby put out his tongue. It was white. "What has he been eating?" Mr. BarIng asked. "Raw Indian corn," replied the father. Mr. Baring prescribed cessation of diet and complete repose. The Chinaman appeared td be much satisfied, and asked Mr. Baring if he would like t hear a concert "Very much," was the reply. Then the Chinaman bade the Tlsltoi sit down. Presently aonther Chinaman came into the room, and, taking a largf and twisted clarion, like the wreathed horn old Triton blew, ho blew on it one deafening blast and hung it on the wall again. There was a short pause. Mr. Baring waited In expectation, but the Chinaman turned to him with a smile. "The concert is over now," he said. When the Englishmen had finished lunch, and Just as they were about to resume their Journey, the Chinaman in whose house Mr. Baring had been entertained again rushed up, breathless. "In your country," he said, "when you go to a concert do you not pay for it?" The concert was paid for, says Mr Ilarinz. and 60c

Much has been said about the discipline and superb heroism displayed by William Anthony, an orderly or marines, on board of the Maine at the time she "was blown up. It is related that when Captain Sigsbee reached the deck after the explosion the first person he met was William Anthony. In the semi-darkness, lit by the flames of the bursting 6hip and pierced by shrieks and groans, he saw Orderly Anthony conic to a "present arms" ns calmly as If it weiU dress parade, and heard him Eay In tne even tones of perfect discipline: "Sir, I have to inform you that tho ship has been blown up and is sinking." When asked about this instance of cool courage and superb presence of mind,1 this specimen of American manhood said: "Oh, that's nothing, any Yankee marine would do that." The American navy has many such examples of deeds of daring and disclplinewhich should live in American history. An Interesting incident Is related of a brave boy who was cn board the steam sloop Varuna, ten guns, Captain Charles S. Boggs, commander, during Admiral Farragut's fight at New Orleans In April, 18G2. The lad, who answered to the name of Oscar, was but 12 years of age, but he had an old head on his shoulders and was alert and energetic. During the hottest of the fire with the Confederate fleet be was busily engaged in passing ammunition to the gunners, and narrowly escaped death when one of the terrific broadsides of the C. S. steamer Governor Moore, Commander Beverly Kennon, was poured In. Covered with dirt and begrimed with powder, Oscar was met by Captain Boggs, who asked where he was going in such a hurry. "To get a passing box, sir; the other one was saiashed by n bail!" And so, throughout the fight the brave lad held his place and did his duty. When the Varuna went down under the terrific fire of shot and shell and ramming of the Governor Moore, Captain Boggs missed his boy, and thought he was among the victims of the battle. But a few minutes afterward he saw the lad gallantly swimming toward the wreck. Clambering on board of Captain Boggs' boat, he threw his hand up to his forehead, giving the usual salute, and uttering only the words, "All right, sir; I report myself on board," passed coolly to his station. Robert Cummlng, a fair-haired boy If 14 years, good-looking and Interesting, was the hero of the Harriet Lane when she was captured at Galveston, Texas, on January 1, 1SC3, and was as brave and cool In danger as Osca-. He was of Scottish parents, his father being a machinist, who died before the breaking out of the war In Faterson, N. J. ; his mother, a poor washerwoman, residing In Philadelphia, where she was part supported by half of her son's wages duly remitted to her, 6lnce he entered the United States service. Robert entered the service as a drummer boy In Colonel Moorhead's TwentyThird Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and remained In that position until his regiment was mustered out of service. He then cnllst(?ns "messenger boy" on board the Harriet Lane, and won good will of her officers by bis pluck, good humor, and vivacity. When the attack occurred in front of Galveston, and the storm of bullets was pouring down on the overmatched crew from the cotton bulwarks of the Neptune and Bayou City, as the Federal wounded men were carried below, the lad picked up two of their fallen revolvers, and, taking his place upon the quarterdeck, blazed away at the invading Confederates, firing at them every charge of both weapons, and then hurling them overboard. As It is said the Confederates clustered thick as bees on the cotton bales, it Is believed "every shot must have told." Robert was subsequently wounded In the hand by a musket ball, when momentarily his spirit pave way. Surrendering with tbe rest, he hared the fortunes of the paroled officers, naturally becoming a great favorite with them, and messing at their table during their Journey through the Interior of Texas to be conveyed to New Orleans via Red river. He was on board the Kensington at that city when he became acquainted with Commanfler Meade, and wf.s afterward taken under his especial care. Another young hero was a lad named Moullng, on the gunboat Queen of the West, at Gordon's Landing, near the mouth of the Red river. When tho Confederate batteries opened on the Queen of the West, MouTlng, a mere child, checked the confusion on board, where the shot and shell were hissing and screaming In dangerous proximity to the beads of the crew and two distinguished journalists Finley Anderson, correspondent of the New York Herald, and Joseph McCuIIagh ("Mack") of the Cincinnati Commercial. 'At this time no one thought of saving the boat. The steam chest was penetrated, and it needed all their exertions to save themselves. Some leaped overboard and were drowned. Others tumbled cotton bales into the river and attempted to float with the current. Mr. Anderson escaped on a cotton bale. McCullagh sought a cotton bale, and debated whether he should trust his portly body upon It. While thus engaged the bale floated beyond his reach, and Immediately thereafter a shell allghetd upon it, and, exploding, blew It Into a thousand fragments. "Mack" seized another bale, and reached the De Soto in safety. Colonel Eilet, the commander, escaped In like manner, and the crew remaining on board surrendered the vessel. While tho battle was raging, Moullng aptly known, among his companions as "Captain Webb," swam about In the cold water like a great Newfoudland dog, picking up the struggling officers and men and helping them to places of safety. When he Jumped over the gunboat's side he struck a piece of timber, and disfigured his face so fearfully that Colonel Eilet could not recognize him. The lad, however, being asked how be came by his injuries, replied, with the usual salute that he had had "a whack on the head,"and so went on

helping Ms companions out of the water. Chicago Chronicle.

Thinning Itankn of the G. A II. It was a thin, blue line of heroes which paraded at Saratoga September 11, in the annual march of the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Shoulder to shoulder the war veterans have stoo. even as in war days, through forty-two years, meeting annually to renew old ties and testify to deathless patriotism. Year by year the parade of the veterans has been prowing shorter in its line, until now, when its march past the colors numbered fewer than 13,000 men. It was the least number that has ever paraded since the formation of the G. A. R. Of the 202.000 members of the order it is estimated that there are between 4,j,000 and S0.0CO In Saratoga, but of those fully two-thirds were unable to march the mile laid out for the parade. What this means no one unacquainted with Grand Army men can realize. Heretofore nothing has been able to keep these plucky veterans from their places in the line of march when the drums rolled out the signal. But age and Infirmity break the strongest will, and on that September day, from some vantage point along the way many a brave old soldier lookec. wistfully and looked his last upon his comrades as they toilsomely marched, a part of a pageant the like of which can not be seen anywhere In the round world except just there, at a G. A. R. parade. The Grand Army represents about one-third of the surviving veterans of i the Civil War. Its losses by death and the failing condition of strength of Its lmembers are an Index of what Is occurring among all the veterans of the war for the Union. Possibly we have seen the lasi of the great historic marches of the G. A. R. In its national encampment The strain upon the men Is too great, and it has long been contemplated to drop this," the most picturesque and affecting feature of the meetings. It Is probable that very soon the annual encampment will be merely a meeting of delegates in Washington, for It Is growing more and more hard for the veterans to travel and endure the chances of strange scenes and faces and circumstances. ' There has been nothing moro pathetic in history than the gradual disappearance of that army of more than a million citizen soldiers who sprang to the call to arms in the early sixties. The time is soon coming when there will be not one survivor of the fighting legions of those stirring days. The army of blue Is fast answering the last roll call. The long drawn notes of "taps" are blown over the newly made graves of thousands of that army every year. Into the silence and the mystery the heroes go, leaving behind them a loving and grateful people. The "boys" Lincoln loved, the stern fighters of Grant and Sherman and Sheridan, on, on they go, to Join their old commanders and their beloved chief. f Peace be with them all! And we who look on we can only give "cheers for the livings, tears for the dead." Ada C Sweet In Chicago Journal. Iloir Lincoln Heard of Lee's Surrender. Mrs. Lincoln had returned to City Point with a party which included Senator Sumner and Senator and Mrs. Harlan. They made a visit to Richmond, accompanied by Captain Penrose, while the President remained at City Point, the guest of Admiral Porter, until the fith. Then, having heard of the injury to Secretary Seward when he was thrown from his carriage in a runaway accident, he felt that he must go back to Washington. He had Intended to remain until Lee surrendered. We reached home Sunday evening, the Oth. The President's carriage met us at the 'wharf. There Mr. Lincoln ported from Captain Penrose; he took the captain by the hand and thanked him for the manner In which he had performed his duty. Then he started for tho White House. The streets were alive with people, all much excited. There were bonfires ev erywhere. We were all curious to know what had happened. Tad was so excited he couldn't keep still. We halted tho carriage and asked a bystander; "What has happened?" He looked at us In amazement, not recognizing Mr. Lincoln: "Why, where have you been? Lee has surrendered." Harper's. A Rather Necessary Question. Ordinarily Mr. Lawton was a reasonable, good-tempered man,N(but hot weather did not agree with him, and under the r tress of It he became Irritable and most unhappy. "I never saw anything like some of these countrymen!" ho grumbled one day, when he returned from a fishing expedition. He had started when the wind was east and the sky overcast, only to have the wind lie down and the sun come out hot and blinding, and his feelings were Injured in consequence. "What's the matter now?" inquired his wife, as she hastily removed some work from the chair toward which she saw his feet were tending. "Why, I asked a farmer out on the Greenham turnpike, not more than three miles away from Long Pond, whether I was half-way there, and he said in the most indifferent way that he wasn't prepared to tell, but he'd like to know where I was stopping." "Well, didn't you tell him?" quavered Mrs. Lawton, her face half-hidden in her handkerchief. "Tell him? No! What business was it of his, particularly when he'd refused to answer n civil question?" said Mr. Lawton, indignantly. "I Just stumped along till I came to a guideboard. They're the most disobliging lot!" A DUcoaraged Digger. "I see they say that when a diamond passes a certain ßize It Is worth no more than a smaller one." "How's that?"

The lady manager of a, dairy makes a point of getting her milk only from farms that are under medical supervision, and carried on exactly as they would be were they directly supervised by her. Then the vital part of preparing the milk for delivery to the public she Is able to give her undivided attention. And one can be quite sure that Insiead of the pernicious system of adding drugs to It to make it keep In hot weather, she will use the Infinitely more hygienic, if more troublesome, method of pasteurizing it. Woman's Life. Two Flue Strawberries. One of the best of the newer strawberries Is the Senator Dunlap, sajs an Ohio man Ir American Cultivator. It Is a very eaily kind' and keeps in bearing long enough to be classed also as a mldseason variety. It is as reliable and productive as the Havcrland and has a good color and pleasant havor. The Dunlap and a good late kind like the Granville make a fine team for tni stray'berry grower. An important practical point is to put on straw enough for mulch and winter protection to last until the learing season pud Veep the berries clean. Success of Kharkof. About four years ago the Department of Agriculture began a systematic distribution of the Kharkof wheat, and extensive trials of this variety In cooperation with the State experiment stations. It Is the hardiest winter wheat yet grown in this country and Is now thoroughly establisheiT. By Its use the area in which winter wheat can be successfully cultivated has been much extended to the northward and westward, particularly In Nebraska nnd Iowa, while a considerable amount is now grown In South Dakota and Southern Minnesota. It will be conservative to state that, wherever this wheat has been introduced, the yield per acre Is being increased on an average of five bushels. Horse nnd Dor Meat. In 1000 there were slaughtered for food In the Kingdom of Saxony 12.022 horses and 3,7SG dogs. This was an Increase of 224 horses and 133 dogs over the year 1905. In the whole empire In 1000, according to the Southern Farm Magazine, there were slaughtered for food 182,000 horses, and it in estimated that about 7,000 dogs go into food In the empire annually. "Horseflesh Is very generally advertised in the German newspapers, especially in those of the large Industrial centers," sajs United States Consul Ifft, "and most German cities have at least one market which makes It a specialty, claiming for it a higher percentage of nourishment than that of either beef, veal, mutton or pork. "Neither is it unusual to find advertisements of dog, meat or for the purchase of dogs for slaughter. Nor is it possible to read the German newspapers for any length of time without coming to the conclusion that a great many dogs are killed and eaten that do not give up their lives under official Inspection. "News Items detailing the arrest, trial, conviction and punishment by fine or Imprisonment of men charged with killing and eating dogs that belonged to others, sometimes valuable animals or cherished household pets, are not Infrequent" The Art of riovrlnjc. Thcro Is an art In plowing. In othor words, there Is a way to do the work and get the best results, and there Is a way that will be quite the opposite. On the ground that does not need furrows for drainage, plow from the center, and to the center alternately, and In this way keep the field free from furrows and ridges, especially at the corners. S. B. Hartman, an experienced farmer, says he has seen fields having the soil so plowed away along the lines running from center of field to outside corners by continually throwing furrows toward the outside of the field, that crops would hardly grow on a strip 8 or 10 feet wide, while much good soil was piled in a ridge along the fences where little use CDuld be made of It except to grow briars and weeds. Starting the field In the center a few times wlH correct this. Some attempt to correct the ridges along the fences by plowing lands along each side. This throws the furrow from the fence, but creates a ridge along the hack furrow and does not fill the low places at the corners. 1 Bj doing a little measuring before starting to plow, and occasionally whIc the plowing Is in progress to see that all sides and corners are kept equal distances from the fence, almost any shape of lot can te plowed from the center. The furrows left fiom the last plowing will also help in plowing fiu;n tho center. It is better to plow rather shallow in case the soil is dry, in the spring, than to plow deeper, s!ty 7 or 8 Incln-s But It is best not to turn up too much subsoil excepting where it is intended to fertilize heavily, or where It is In

tended to get the surface soil deeper than that already on the field. Plowing is not so simple an operation as It would appear, and it is surprising how few farmers are really good plowmen. v : nitfer Milk. Abnormal flavors In milk and milk products may be due to a number of causes, as it is well known that certain weeds eaten by cows impart a characteristic flavor to the lnilk. Wild onion or garlic Is a noticeable Instance. A recent bulletin of the Ontario Experiment Station gives some interesting observations on bittet milk. In this case, however, the bitter flavor was caused by a form of yeast rather than by bacteria. Numerous cheese factories in Ontario were annoyed by the development of a bitter flavor in milk and curd. From a sample of such curd a yeast-like micro-organism designated Torula nmnra, or bitter torula, was isolated. This yeast, when separated from all other micro-organisms and added tomilk which had been rendered sterile by heat, produced the ebarae-. teristic bitter flavor. Cultures of the torula were added to milk, and the cheese and butter manufactured, from it also possessed the bitter taste. In preventing such troubles as bitter milk, proper care' of the milk is essential. Milk cans and all other utensils should be thoroughly washed and sterilized by heat, the milking should be done under the most favorable conditions for lessening contamination, the milk should be cooled promptly, and guarded as carefully as possible from all known sourevs of infection. A Farmers' bulletin of the Department of Agriculture contains suggestions for the care and handling of milk which, 1? followed, may be expected to lessen or prevent such troubles as arise from the growth of undesirable forms of micro-organisms in milk. This bulletin may be had free on application to the department at Washington. Winter-Made Dotter. You cannot produce first-class winter butter unless you churn often. To churn every other day is better than once in three days, while to put it off to every .fourth day is execrable practice. And yet a vast amount of butter manufactured on the latter plan is marketed every winter, much to the disgust of the dairy trade. It Is found primarily in country stores, where it has been exchanged by small dairymen at a second-rate price for groceries! - The tradesmen ship It In lots to the city market, where all the way through, whether It ends In the larder of a baker or on the table of the poor workingman, It is classed as inferior and sells for a low price. And yet the original material from which this butter was made was as good as that which Is employed In turning out the 25 and 30-cent article. The Inferiority of quality and consequent loss to dairymen follows, because they ignore the right principles of butter making. Suppose that a farmer, after raising a fine crop of potatoes and digging them, should allow the tubers to lie a day or two In the sun before storing them in the root cellars. Could he expect to sell the green, bitter vegetables for full market quotations? Certainly rot, nnd even the most obtuse are thoroughly well aware 6f this fact And yet, those who use common sense in this respect, with inconceivable folly, will spoil good cream and butter by wanton neglect, as outlined above. It Is pretty costly neglect, too. as it forfeits from 8 to 10 cents on every pound of Inferior butter. This could all be obviated by churning cream when It is fresh and pure, I. e, slightly matured, but not bitter, and manufacturing it into butter according to modern principles. Cream should all be secured from the milk In at least twenty-four hours, and churned within the next twentyfour. This can le done usually by keeping it at a temperature of between 00 and 70 degrees. It Is where cream Is kept at nar 40 degrees, and for several days, that it develops that bitter flavor ruinous to butter quality. George E. Newell. Not the Fatted Calf. A good story is told of a couple ol farmers living a few miles apart One day one called on the other,, happening around at dinner time. The person called upon, by the way, was rather a penurious old fellow. He sat at the tabl enjoying his dinner. The visitor drew toward the table, expecting the old farmer to Invite him to dine. .

"Ha, what Is It?" "Neighbor John has a cow that ha five calves." "Is that so? Good gracious! -What in thunder does the fifth calf do wher the others are feeding?"
