This is the first tour in America hat has been made by the Dresden ~Piharmonie Orchestra. Its musi eians are all of the highest rank in their particular lines. Many of them have played in the orchestra all their lives, which largely accounts for the' beauty and smoothness of the orches tral .effects commented on by their T&sieal critics. Madam Jomelli, the well known and popular soprano, was born in Amster dam, Holland, where abe received her first trainiag in m'usic. She is al ways a favorite wherever she appears ihLsan artist of the highest dis tinction. For several years she made frequent appearances in the capitals of Europe, singing for nobility and receiving unusual tokens of regard. Her lovely voice and artistic singing everywhere captivated audiences and critics. The singer's appearance is striking, her stage presence is impres sive, her acting is effective, her voice noble, and her art unexceptional. -Mme. Langendorff was born in ~Schlesian, Germany. She has had the best of training. In the year 1904 when she sang "Walkure'' at Bay reuth Mmne. Wagner was so interest ed in her voice that she coached Mmne. Langendorff herself. Mmne. Langen dorff has had the greatest success wherever she sang abroad in coneert. Frederick Hastings, the noted American baritone, was born in Bos ton, Mass., August 9, 1878. He has studied under the best teachers in America and has travelled abroad and been trained by such tutors as Signor Bimboini, of Florence, and others. Dr. Franklin Lawson, the ever-pop la tenor, who scored a great success th the Boston Festival orchestra spring on a six weeks' tour, has selected to take a prominent in the tour of the Dresden Phil onic Orchestra on its American this spring. Dr. La.wson is well n- as one of America 's foremost tenors. with an unusually happy lty of winning the sympathy of udiences. Meteorological Record. March, 1909.

On,e of the pet. hobbies of Senator Christopher Magee was his newspaper, the Pittsburg Times. He kept the paper well to the front, and it was a credit to modern journalism. One morning the Times had been scooped on a railway wreek. "Senator,'' asked an intimate ac quaintance, "how do you console yourelf on the loss of that wreck story this morning?" "By congratulating ourselves," he answered quickly, "that we are among the number who missed that ill fated train." On another occasion as the senator was approaching the Times building o.n Fourth avenue he noticed a crowd gathered about a wagon which was filled with huge rolls of newspaper. A wheel was caught in a deep rut in th;e pavement and could not be budg ed. . "Senator," laughed a friend, "they managed at last to get your paper in to a rut. "Yes," 4-nswerd Mr. Magee, his eyes twinkling with good humor, "and I'm not trusting to men to get it out again, but to mules. "-Philadel phia Press. Spelling Simplified. Prof. Alfred E. Stearns, principal of the Phillips Andoveri academy, said at the recent alumni dinner in New York: "The easiest way in raising fundo, as in other things, is the wrong way. I remember a man and his easy spell ing r.ule. In Orange in my childhood I once complained of the difficulties of spelling. I said 'ei' and 'ie' in such words as 'believe' and 'receive' always stumped me. "Then this man patted me on the head and smiled and said: " '.My boy,- I will give you an in fallible rule for "ei'"-a rule that in forty-seven years has never failed "I expressed my .delight and wait ed. The man resumed,: " 'The rule is simply this: Write your "i'' and "e'' exactly alike and put your dot exactly between them.'" --Washington Star. Hardly a Sanctified Odor. Ambassador Lloyd Grisc om, at a dinner that he gave to a party of Philadelphians visiting Rome, praised the well-known American veneration for antiquity. "It is seldom enough,'' said Mr. Griscom, "that we find an American phlegmatic before the treasures of Rome's past. I have only found one such person. "He is a Soutfrerner, and I gave a day to showing him about. The first church we visited w s, I think, the Ara Coeli, on the Capitoline Hill. "'This church, Calhoun,'' said I, "is 800 years old.' " 'Hu'mph,' said he, 'it smells a lot older !' "'-Philadelphia Record. Power of thie Senator. Philadelphia Record. Speaker Cannon, at the recent Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, stood up for the senate. ''You'd think, the way the senate is blamed for everything,'' he said, "that it had sapernatural- powers. "A erowd of farmers were knock ing the senate one market day last month, when a.n old fellow of only one-horse power brain bustled into their midst. "' 'WSell, byes,'' ' said he. 'what 's the seniate up to now?' " 'Why, .ain"'t ye heard, Zachary' ,' said a young farmer, win'king at th~e others. 'The senate's went and pass ed a bill addin' two extra months to the winter.' "Zachary struck his forehead with his red-mitted fist. "'Do tell!' he groaned. 'Gosh durn the huck! An' here I am clean out o: fodder.'" No Need to Advise. Washington Herald. "Would you advise a young man o o into politics?'' "Without hesitation. If he is real ly fitted for politics he won 't take ad vice; he '11 insist on giving it.'' Far as he Got. Puck. Helen-Why, he yawned three tim es while I was talking to .him. Myrtle-Perhaps he wasn't yawn ing. He may have been trying to say something. Bad Judgment. Tit-Bits.
