“There ain’t no place provided f01

v A MUSICAL STUDENT IN PARIS.
The Trials Are Many “'hicli American
Girls Undergo.
The colony of musical pupils- in Pa-
ris is very large, and as a rage very
unhappy. There seems to b: thou-
sands of them. One cannot ’i-;uagine
where they come from. Most of them
must be from the country or smaller
cities. They do not know the world,
and have exaggerated ideas of their
talents. They are fleeced unmerci-
fully. A typical history of cub of
these girls is something like this:
She has been told in the village
where she is brought up that she has
a wonderful voice. Friends have
united their slender means to raise
money for a‘ course of lessons in Pa-
ris. Her parents consent, and the
poor girl sails away. The process of
disillusiouing begins as soon as she
reaches the gay capital.
:1 girl went to a teacher to discuss
terms. He went into contortions be-
fore she had sung five notes, and ex-
claimed: ‘My dear girl, if 'you had
waited five minutes longer that beau-
tiful voice would have been ruined!
You must have a lesson at once—now,
before it is too late.’
“He taught her for five minutes, and
charged her twenty-five francs. Young
lady pupils cannot get honest criti-
cism. The teachers flatter them to
their faces, take their money and
laugh behind their backs. Frenchmen
are too polite to tell them the truth.
They don’t understand American wo-
men.
“ ‘W‘hy,’ they exclaim, ‘these Amer-
ican women actually believe what
men say to them. A French woman
never does that.’
“This typical young woman we are
speaking of has an allowance of about
$150 a month—some have less, some
more. The music teacher charges $70
a month; accompaniment, $16; teacher
of acting,' $12; teachers of diction
(French and Italian) $6 each. That’s
$110, leaving only $40 for room rent,
food, washing and clothing, to say
nothing of throat specialists and other
medical attendance.
He assured her that he would do so.
wondering all the time if the bank I
would keep open for him, and when .
they had come in sight of the place.
he was about to drop the good wo-
man, when she laid a detaining hand
on his arm.
“Mebbe I’d better give you a dc-‘
scription of the little fellow. If you,
once set eyes on him”—
“Oh, they’ll find him there for you,"
he said. “How long has he been lost?”
“Laws, he ain’t lost yet—but seein’
as I was comi-n’ in town, my dartei'
Liza thought she might come in her-
self next time an’ bring little Ben, an’
I thought as how I’d better”—
But the man she had been talking
to was sprinting in the direction of
his bank, and the old lady plodded
into the station to ask the remainder
of the question with which she was
loaded—Detroit Free Press.

“Most of them, however, are very
brave and very persevering. They be-
gin to economize where they can least
afford—in their living expenses. They
get sick, have tonsilitis, bronchitis,
but yet, with a dogged persistence,
try to practice every day.
“ ‘You mustn’t try to use your voice
while it is in that condition,’ I said to
one of them.
“‘Oh! I must,’ she replied, ‘I was
going to be able to sing in grand op-
era in two years, and it is over a year
now. There’s all that debt piling up
at home! How can I ever pay it if I
fail here?’ ,
“Spartan fortitude is nothing to the
‘spunk’ of a beautiful girl whom a
physician had found actually dying
from starvation. He was just in time
to save her. She was not a failure.
Reports of her talent and graces had
reached England, and a manager came
to Paris to see her. She was too weak
to sing for him, and he returned with-
out her. Did she give up? No, in-
deed. She vowed she would succeed
or die. ‘I am too proud to go home,’
she said; ‘I may live here and starve,
but I’ll make a name or die.’
The average girl goes to Paris for
the accent, and she never gets it. The
only American who can sing in
French is Sibyl Sanderson. Most of
those who attempt it have no idea
how badly they do, and as the audi-
ence oftener .does not know the difier-
ence it passes. Very many people go
abroad to ‘imbibe’ art, and end by im-
bibing almost everything else. Eu-
rope is a beautiful place for a girl
who is already well educated to visit.
It broadens her views, and if she is
accompanied by her parents or a
chaperon, and well supplied with
means, she will get on very well. But
poor girls had better study at home,
and when they have an educated
voice, experience and money, take a
Paris course.”
The Cow Boy Caught On.
The young woman from Boston was
at the table in a railroad restaurant
in the far West, and when she es-
sayed to cut the steak with which she
had been served she discovered that
what she needed was a higher educa-
tion in athletics, says the Detroit
Free Press. After four or five inef-
fectual attempts to dissect it, she
called to the waiter.
“Cahn’t you,” she asked, “give me a
bit of steak which is characterized by
less tenacity of tissue?”
The waiter staggered, and a cow-
boy across the table looked up.
“I didn’t quite ketch, mum,” said
the waiter, bending forward with his
hand to his ear.
“I said,” and there was a shade of
annoyance in her tone, “that I de-
sired a portion of steak in which the
coherence of the molecules was not so
apparent."
“Oh,” stammered the waiter, and
he stood fixed with his mouth open
in amazement.
The young woman became embar-
rassed.
“Here,” snorted the gallant cowboy,
coming to the rescue, with a sounding
whack on the table; “git a move on
you; what the young lady wants is a
piece of meat that ain’t so tough she
can’t stick her purty tooth into it;
see?” and the young woman actually
smiled as the waiter hurried away.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him to
be in a most miserable condition. It was
undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took imme-

From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s

mendations included therein, we concluded
to make a first trial of the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory in its results, is
putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted
'ke magic and the result was a s eedy and

"“But we readin- novels about the
herbesor heroines sitting down’ to a. cup
of the commer-
‘_-of’thef-fragrant?Mocha, and the term is
used With an air of aesurance, as much
as to say, that. when it came to coffee
there was but one kind and that was
Mocha. What is Mocha?”
“Mocha is mostly a tradition and
wholly a fraud,” declared the expert.
“There is no coffee grown about Mocha
but there are’ Indian coffees shipped
from Mocha. The peculiarity of the
Mocha of the trade is that it is com-
posed mostly of round berries instead
of flat berries of the more perfect cof-
fees. These round berries, or pea. ber-
ries, as they are also called, are simply
ill-grown, imperfect fruit. 'Most of
what is sold for Mocha in the stores is
made up from the imperfect berries
which have been sorted from the mild
cofiees of Mexico and Central America
and Santos coffees. In some stores you
can buy the genuine Mocha, and when 4
you get it you are worse off than if you
have the imitation.”
“There are two things which people
imagine are guides to the goodness of
coffee which are really of no conse-
quence whatever. These are: The
color of the decoration, and the aroma
of the coffee when tt is ground, or as
this escapes from the coffee pot when
drawing. The color is due almost en-
tirely to the roasting. This is true also
of tea. The finest coffees and teas-
when properly roasted and prepared to
give out their finest flavors will color
the water but little. v The real essences
which give the flavor have practically
no color. '
“The public seemingly knows but
little of what the real taste of coffee
should be. It confounds the bitter
taste of the roasted vegetable matter
with the entirely dissimiliar flavor of '
codes, and learns to like this so much,
that it insists on having the coffee roast-
ed so highly that any flavor of coffee
which it might have had is driven 0E.
As to the aroma, that is the true essence
of the coffee. The reason that this is
no guide to the quality of the berry is
that there is just as much of this es-
sence present in the rankest coffees as
there is in the mild ones. Your nose
would be as delighted with the aroma
from a. lot of fresh roasted Rio coffee as
it would with the finest Java. In the
cofiee-flavored cofiees there are oils
present which spoil the extract. These
oils are more or less volatile, and many
of these coieas are improved by keep-
ing,them stored in hot places, such as
under the roof in lofts, for five or six
years. Java does not need this.
MILITARY DANCING.
l‘Vest Pointers as Educators in the Tape!-
ehorean Art.
To the average mind West Point fig-
ures as all that is efiective as a mili-
tary training school. “Only that and
nothing more,” in the words of Ra-
venesque rhetoric. Its other advan-
tages and possibilities are to most per-
sons an unknown quantity. As a mat-
ter of fact, though, West’ Point pro-
vides many other sorts of diScipline
than just the martial alone. Chief
among them comes dancing. There is
probably no more complete" or thor-
ough dancing academy in the world
than West Point. What it teaches
concerning martial tactics is doubtless
very wonderful, but this pales beside
what it inculcates as to terpsichorean
tactics. The cadet graduating there-
from may be very well posted with
respect to court-martial and smokeless
powder, but it is his ability to trip
the light fantastic that gives him his
unique place in society at large, which
is only natural, for what does society
at large care about courts-martial and
smokeless powder? It isn’t just the
West Point man alone who profits by
these opportunities, though; that large
ai‘fd influential if not generally recog-
nized quantity, the West Point girl,
becomes what she is, the best of dune-
ers, simply from her apprenticeship to
the dancing discipline of the place.
There is nothing like a season or two
at West Point to make a good dancer
of a girl. The siaxidard is so high
and the system of training so rigid,
that it counts for far more than years
of ordinary ballroom twirling. Both
mothers and daughters realize this.
Truly enterprising mothers who desire
to do the thing “right” are careful to
take a daughter to the academy at the;
time that a class is just entering, the
girl returning there summer " after
summer as long as the class remains.
When it is graduated the girl' is grad-
uated too. In other words, she leaves
West Point “for good,” but she is al-
ways known as a West Point girl and
as a member of that class. She prc~
ceedsgto enter society past mistress of
the art of dancing.
Not William’s “fay.
A slender, pale-faced woman in
mourning attended a spiritualistic se-
ance at the rooms of a Market street
medium the other evening. ._
Materializations had been advertised,
and the little woman confidingly whis.
pered to the medium that she would
like to see the departed William. She
was overjoyed to learn that William
was on hand when wanted—the first
time since she had known him—and
when a few minutes later a. shadowy
form appeared in the cabinet, she,
trembled with mingled fear and joy.
“Is that you, William?” she asked,
in a faltering voice.
“Yes, dear,” was the. hollow re-
sponse. .
_“That’s a fraud. I don’t believe it,”
she exclaimed. “William would have
said, “Who the dickens did you think
I.“
