Caruso, the great tenor of the Metropolitan Opera company, is to sing at Indianapolis. This announcement will be hailed with delight by Indiana people, and music lovers over the state. The exact date has not been 6et, be cause of the fact that the Metropolitan Opera company's itinerary for a spring tour of a week or ton days, covering three or four of the largest cities, has not yet been worked out. However, it will be some time in May and he will appear at the Shubert Murat theater, accompanied by a quartet of stars from the Metropolitan Opera company. He Is brought to Indianapolis by the Impressario, Mrs. Ono li. Talbot. OF INTEREST TO MUSICIANS. The following is a clipping from the Musical America and gives the opinion of Mr. Alfred Hertz, the Metropolitan Opera house conductor on the degeneration of music in America, in answer to a statement made by President Lowell, of Harvard: a " 'Degeneration of the popular musi cal taste In America,' as a theory propounded by President Lowell, of Harvard university, before the Music Teachers' National association in Boston last week, has not met with the approval of New York musicians whose opinions on the subject have been collected. They assert that whatever may be the case in other cities the popular taste for music in New York has been steadily progressive. Alfred Hertz, the Metropolitan opera house conductor, was interviewed on the subject. " 'Boston is far behind New York in its musical education,' he said. 'I have conducted at performances of standard operas in both cities and I have found that In Boston people go to the opera for the sake of a name while here in New York they go for the sake of god music and a good perpormance. " 'Look at the popularity of concerts at cheap prices. I know the time and it is not more than ten years ago that it was a great risk to give a performance of an opera without a guaranteed subscription. The love of good music here Is developing at an enormous rate. There is never sufficient room for those who cannot pay a large price for seats, and if there is any merit in a concert or operatic work in New York audience la sure to find it out. It will also be noticed that the most enthusiastic applause comes from the what you call it? the masses. " Points For Mothers An only child is liable to dlsad vantages that do not come the way of children brought up among brothers and sisters. It is not only that the child is in danger of being spoiled and of growing selfish through having no playmate with whom to share his or her toys, sweets and so on. but there Is the lack of young, healthy companionship to be reckoned with, and thin menus much to the child's development If he or she lives only with grownup people much of the sweetness of child life will be lost, for, no matter how gay and bright- parents may be. children require the companionship of children of their own age. with their own childlike ideas of fun and frolic, who will bring the right touch of youth and inexperience to nursery gambols. It Is a mistake to educate an only child at home. Send him or her rather to a kindergarten at an early age and afterward to a good day school. It i not absolutely necessary for a girl to go to a boarding school. She can finish her education after having passed through an advanced day school by attending first class lectures dally. What's In Name? When you named your little girl did you stop to think what kind of name you were giving her to live up to or to live down to, as the case may be? The old query, "What's in a name?' 1b a rather senseless one. There's a good deal in a name, after all. Rad, for Instance, what Mrs. Gramercy Park writes in the January number of the Delineator: "It is thanks to me (yon can owe me that, at least, though ordinarily I detest nicknames) that you are generally called Nancy. With a name like that you have a fair chance. To be Gloria you need a lot of looks brilliant, overpowering looks and money, lots of it. for the clothes such a name needs to carry It off. They might have called you Anne! Anne does not need wealth, but Anne should be a shy, demure, sweet maid. Pale she should be and bending to the breeze like a sheaf of golden grain. That is the kind of name it Is! It would make the most cold hearted cynic prate in poetry. No, my dear; tt is not for a gypsy such as you! Nancy is the name for you! There is Joy In the name of Nancy, and freshness and a chance for happiness. It Is pretty enough too."

Never praise or blame your children In the preseuce of strangers. The tender susceptibilities of childhood are injured by so doing. Insist on strkt obedience, but make the duty less irksome to the child by issuing the command only when absolutely necessary. Be firm but mild in your authority, never punishing childish faults as though they were very great offenses. When, however, there is real cause for blame do not pass it over and, above all, never relent when onee you have forbidden anything. Children are not mere playthings; therefore do not treat them as such. On the other hand, although our little folks claim all our attention, they must not conclude that they are the masters whom everybody else has to obey. Their turn to rule will come in due time. The Night Nursery. . It must be clean. It must 1 very airy. The hardwood floor is best Stained floors may be varnished. Floors at least must be easily cleaned. There's a washable rug before each bed. For lighting choose electricity or candles. Smelly kerosene lamps and Jeaky gas are tabooed. Gray-blue or gray-green, not dark. Is good for the walls. Curtains (they are often necessary) must be washed once a month at least, some say every week. Points to Remtmbfr It has been proved by experiment that children who drink milk grow and develop three times as fast as those who habitually drink tea or coffee. Tea and coffee stimulate the heart and the secreting action of the kidneys. These effects cause them to be unsuitable beverages for children. Raw vegetables cucumbers. lettuce, radishes, etc. are more Indigestible than those which are cooked. That Is why they should not be given to children. Biscuits of any kind are not nearly so nutritious as bread and butter. ' German hotel keepers would rather see an American arrival than one of any other nationality. They have the reputation of being the best spenders.

Keen and Very Rapid Worker is New Monarch of British

(Special CaMe from thn International News Serviced London, Jan. 14. King George since he came to the throne, has surprised those about him with the rapidity with which he works and the quickness with which he can make himself the master of any document or state paper that is put in front of him. The late king was rather slow and deliberate in his methods, and liked to consider every point with the greatest care. The present King, on the other hand, takes everything at top speed, butt here Is nothing that misses 1.1s eye. He is naturally a rapid thinker, and possesses a wonderfully retentive memory. ( He is a very early riser and whether staying at York-Cottage, Windsor Castle, or Buckingham palace, his cup of coffee and roll and butter are taken to his room a little before seven. By eight o'clock he is seated at his desk, and is going through the papers that have accumulated from the previous day. He reads carefully every letter that reaches him, no matter how humble the source: and when he has finished it he pencils a few instructions upon it and places it in one of the red morocco leather dispatch boxes that stand in front of him.' There are many papers of course, that cannot be dealt with by the King in a moment or two, and these are placed on one side for more careful consideration. Between ten and eleven in the forenoon communications from the Prime Minister and the heads of the various departments of the state reach the King, and by this time his two most trusted advisors, Lord Knollys and Sir Arthur Bigge, are at his elbow ready to advise him. It is stated about the court that among the last words of the late King to his son on his death-bed were, "Trust Knollys," and to this King George has steadily adhered. He does not maintain that regular and voluminous correspondence with the heads of foreign powers that King Edward did during his reign, but his letter bag, day by day, is of very considerable dimensions. Practically the whole of the King's work is done in the morning, and he contrives to keep his afternoons free for recreation of one form or another. The evening, however finds him back at work again, glancing through the matters that have been submitted for his consideration during the day as he likes to have everything clear before he retires for the night. A new mining center may be opened up as a result of the discovery of iron in the little island of Rassay, which lies between Skye and the mainland of Scotland. The island covers an area of about twenty-eight square miles. The investigations, it is said, have been so satisfactory that a Scotch steel firm has secured an option for the purchase of the entire island. It is believed that recent developments have been considered sufficiently important to justify the erection of blast furnaces for the smelting of the ore. The discovery may mean extensive employment for the inhabitants of Rassay, the adjoining Isle of Skye, and the mainland of Ross-shire. Skilled LASHED JY COURT Home Wrecking Minister Is Subject for Judge's Ire. Canton, O., Jan. 14. That Levi R. Lupton, deposed head of the "Gift of Tongues" sect, by his own confession, should be put in the rogues gallery of ministers who have fallen, was the statement made by Common Pleas Judge Ambler in passing upon the suit brought by Lupton and Mamie Corlette to enjoin C. E. McPherson and L. L. Stanley from printing their pictures in connection vith a history of their lives. Judge Ambler ruled that Mamie Corlette was "merely an unfortunate young woman and entitled to privacy," and therefore granted her injunction. He not only denied Lupton's application for injunction, but accompanied the refusal by a most merciless lashing. Lupton, finely dressed, his beard faultlessly trimmed, sat through Judge Ambler's hot arraignment and never quailed. When it was all over he had "nothing to say," he said, except that the Court had made a "rather broad statement" when he said that he (Lupton) deserved a place in the rogues' gallery for fallen ministers: "The public has a right to know what is going on, even if the publication does involve a scandal," said Judge Ambler. "When persons make themselves notorious by criminal and quasi criminal acts they should have no objections to having their pictures printed in connection with their life history-" CATFISH HAD HOT TIME IN KETTLE

Columbus, Ind., Jan. 14. There was a tempest in a tea kettle at the home of Mrs. Mary Cobb, mother of City Clerk Edwin A. Cobb, of this city, when a shovelhead catfish, eix inches long got too warm and demanded a way out, Mrs. Cobb filled the tea kettle from a cistern and how the catfish got In the water is a mystery to her. She did not notice the fish until She heard a commotion in the kettle. The water had begun to boil and the fish was decidedly uncomfortable. Consequently it flopped as was hastily released. . ) '

(labor will be in demand, but a certain j proporting of unskilled labor will alS so be required.

Sir Ernest Shackelton, who got nearer to the South Pole than any other explorer, has declared his intention of visiting Spitsbergen this summer. He further voices tiie opinion that it would be a good thing if a sanitorium for consumptives could be established lu the polar regions. A two month s stay amid the ice and snow of Spitzbergen would do wonders for a person suffering from lung and chest troubles, declares Sir Ernest. Ho points out that Artie air is absolutely pure, and beneficial to all chest complaints. In Southampton Row one of the principal thoroughfares of London, the passer-by will observe on fine days, an elderly gentleman standing guard over a model airship. For twenty-six years Mr. G. Daw has been pegging away at perfecting an airship that will have the advantage of traveling with a crew of three against a wind of unusual velocity. His model is perfect in every detail, and quite capable of demons rating its originator's theories. Instead of being fashioned cylindrlcally the portion of the airship enclosing the envelope is made shallow, very broad, and with a sharp cutting edge. The wind in every way is cleaved, and it is aimed to be decidedly superior to those airships fashioned in other lines. To build the airship will cost about $10,000 but the iuventor possesses only a couple of thousands and is now trying to collect the remainder from interested spectators. To have the state pay all doctor bills in the United Kingdom is the rather startling idea of Professor Benjamin Moore of the Liverpool university. He proposes to substitute a national medical service for the present system, whereby a mob of 32,000 sweated and underpaid British doctors In private practice earn on an average less than $1,200 a year. An interesting point is that Professor Moore regards the foreshadowed legislation for invalidity Insurance and Poor Law Reform as a step towards his ideal of a national medical service. He estimates that for an expenditure of less than $50,000,000 a year for ten years, the eradication of consumption producing an annual saving of $105,000,000 to the nation, could be guaranteed. From the point of view of the medical profession, as well as the nation, Professor Moore makes out an attractive case for his scheme. The state would employ the 32,000 doctors at an annual average pay of $1,500 a year, total cost of about $50,000,000 per year. They would no longer be sweated (as he says they are) by the friendly societies, tontines, etc., and their quarterly check from the state would relieve them of th annoyance and waste of time in sending out bills and hunting up debts, and allow them more leisure to keep in touch with the rapid progress of medical science. From the public point of view, he suggests that the gain would be immense. JOIN III REVOLUTION Hundred Chicagoans Go to Brazil and Mexico. Chicago, Jan 14. Information that more than 100 recruits have already left Chicago for the Mexican border line to participate in contemplated Brazillian and Mexican revolutions have been obtained by government secret service agents, who are here Investigating the alleged "war trust" said to have its headquarters in the city. Coincident with the discovery, it became known that a numDer of men who have been promulgating the schemes and recruiting adventurers have disappeared from their usual haunts. These men have been especially active in enlisting men for "work in the canal zone." Instead of the canal zone, according, to the secret service agehts, their destination is an American port, where the steamer Oteri is expected to "put in" within a few days to convey supplies and recruits for the South American revolutionary armies. Mining and plantation Interests, it la said, have joined and contributed toward a big "jack pot" to keep the Latin American republics in a state of continual turmoil. Through this means they expect to be able to whip government officials In the districts where their properties are located into line, and obtain legislation which will place their, business on a safer financial footing and also get hold of concessions which heretofore have proved a menace to their projects. WITH POCKET KNIFE CUTS OFF HIS ARM Springfield, O.. Jan. 14. Charles Deaton, a farmer, living near Addison, Ohio, heroically cut off his arm with a pocket knife, as it lay crushed and bleeding in a corn shredder he was operating and to that act owes his life. After the arm became fastened in the machine Deaton called for assistance, but no one came to help him. Realizing that his life depended on him freeing himself, he opened his pocket knife and deliberately cut away the crushed flesh and : ; bone, which held the arm fast, and freed himself.

HOBBLE GARTERS.

They Lessen the Danger of a Fall For Tight Skirt Wearers. THE aiUfEM SHE BOBBLES TK. The passing of the hobble skirt is predicted indeed, the shadow of these unsightly models is mercifully growing less and lens. Still the very narrow skirt Is the rule thla winter. To make the walking of the wearers of these skirls oue of comparative safety some kind genius has lately Invented the hobble garter. The invention is nothing more than a pair of regulation garters connected by a piece of the elastic of sufficient length to admit the woman wearlug them to step so far and no farther, thereby preventing perhaps a serious fall from overstepping the bounds. Here's a Charming Muff Sat. j Fashion this season certainly favor j the home seamstress, and particularly does this rule hold true in the case of scarf and muff sets. To the woman I who ennnot afford fur pieces La Mods Is especially kiud, and there are sub0 A :6 II 1 Or BATIH AJiD OSTBICH FCATHPV T SIMMI SU. stitiues of fabrics that can be used for these sets frith much effect and little cost. The stunning (et pictured Is a French importation of atiu and ostrich trimming which could be easily duplicated. A Wash Day Shower, A clever notion for a girl who wants to entertain lu honor of a bride to be is a wash day shower. The gifts that are brought to the shower weed not all b? suitable for so on wash day, but should be among the household artk-Ie that gf to the tub and hence would be appropriate' to-be bung on a'cidthejrj line. t The girl for whom th shower 1 ! given in ushered into the parlor la which the clothesline is suspended after the manner of wash day. On It are hung various gifts of linen for the household. She should Le provided with a big "sure enough clotb!baket and ordered to "take In the wash, which Is neatly pinned on the line. The "wash consists of various articles needed for daily domestic tasks. There should be towels, dust cloths, Ironing blanket, kitchen aprons, a clothespin bag in which she has to collect the pins and a frame on which to roll the line when she has taken it down. . As a climax the tin tubs may stand In one corner. Tests made in Great Britain have shown that excellent paper can be made of blue gum wood. Austral lia possesses an enormous, supply of this wood and steps are being taken to utilize it.
