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.

They had been engaged only a
few days, so the sensations were
still comparatively new.
"Can't you stay a little longer?"
she pleaded, as he gave indications
of preparations to leave.
"Well, perhaps a very little
longer," he said.
"How long?" she asked.
"About ten kisses,'' he replied.

E.itor Herald and News: It is
desired to call to memnorf the death
of our kind'friend and sister in the
church, Mrs. Sophia Kinard, wife
of Mr. M. L. 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.

Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more wilt join our slumber,
Thou no more our songs shalt know.

"What, the bahy ?"
"No; the bottle.'

A Natural Misapprehension.
"You say the audience laughed when

A Needed Admonition.
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. "Aliza Wite weighed

Army Firing Positions.
Standing. kneeling, sitting and lying
down are the four positione prescribed
for tiring by the army regulations.
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.
Mark Twain Missed theBot

that he was a skillful pilot, but that he
was an earnest one as well. A man
who knew Mr. Clemens In those days
told how the genial humorist once
missed his boat. Instead of inventing
an excuse. as anuy of his companions
did, he rep orted to his superior officer
as follows:
"~My hoat left at C:20. I arrived at
the landing at O::N anu -'o,ild not catch
