COST OF A VISIT TO "PARSIFAL." $32 for the Young Man who Takes his Girl in Style, and it May Come Higher. New York Sun. The young man who thinks of inviting his lady friend to go to "Parsifal" had better think a sec ond time befor:! he undertakes the job. He is likely to find it an ex pense compared with which even the theatre with a chaperon seems an economy. Taking for granted that she is able to go to the opera without a chaperon, the evening's eutertain -nent is still going to be costly. There are the two seats in the first place. They represent twenty dol iars, as it is not probable that she would want to sit anywhere but in the orchestra, nor likely that he would want her to go anywhere else. So that outlay is enough for a starter. Then there is the dinner at 7 o'clock. That may be any price from $6 to $io. Then there is the car riage. If the young man - does the proper thing he will take his girl in a cab. It would ordinarily cost $3 to take them to the theatre and home again. 'But in this case the cost is double, as the cab must also come back for the trip to dinner. So if he gets out of the cab question under $6 he is fortunate. This brings the cost of a "Parsi fal" evening up to $32, and that is vi minimum figure. That includes no flowers, no supper and not even a glass of lemonade in the second intermission. There are many other expensive adjuncts to such a trip. But it looks as if $32 was a min imum estimate. Advertised Letters Remaining in Postoffice for the week ending Jan. 2, 1904. B-Mr. A. P.

Kinard, aged, 63 years, i month, and ra days. She bare her long illness with a Christian spirit. She did not seem to grow weary but held up in the faith of her kind Heavenly Father, who watched over her while she suffered. But he had said, "it is enough, come up here." It was her re-, qu st that while her grave was be ing filled the people would sing, "Hark from the tomb a doleful sound, My ears attend the cry; Ye living men, come view the ground Where you must shortly lie." What warning this is to us. As it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove her from our midst, be it Resolved. That in her death we have lost one of our best members of Bachman Chapel chtrch.

On one of my trips through the south I sauntered into an old dilapidated cemetery of Virginia and read many very peculiar epitaphs upon tomb stoues. One In particular attracted my attention, which happened to be that of a slave who bad been inclined to be stout. The grave had long since been neglected. and the Inscription could only be read after brushing away th vines which grew upon it. But my la bor was rewarded, for there on that tombstone I rend.

The lying position alone is prescribed for the 800 and the 1.000 yard ranges. While at all thle other ranges up to 2000 yards the lying and sitting posi tions are used. At 100 and 200 yards the sitting and standing positions are prescribed. Wherever the sitting posi tion is prescribed the kneeling may be substituted, but for the majority of persons the sitting is by far the better gSoitinin of the two.
