'19 PATTI'S EARNINGS. The Shrewd Financial Methods of the Musical Miracle. Adelina Patti never suffered from tho fmancial timidity of a jenny Lind. Not only was she a supreme vocalist: but. as Colonel Mapleson renarked. "no one ever a.pproached her in the nrt of obtaining from a nianager the greatest l ;sible sum he could by any possiblitty contrive to pay." But the musical miracle was the spoiled dar in-g of her day, and she never failed to obtain exactly what she wanted She was first engaged !n land.-u in 1,G1 by Mapleson to s!ng four nights "on approval" and in case of uccess to obtain 40 a week. This contract was not fulfilled. however, for. Dein; hard pressed financially. she had bor rowed ?i0 from a rival manager. and her receipt proved practically a con tract. This was the beginning of a rareer so dazzling that its successive steps are simply a series of increasing banknotes. In Is72 she (bltailned in London 200 guineas a night. since she Insisted on having more than Cbristine NlLsson. who was receiving ?:01. She sang twice a week. Ten years later she was given $-.000 a igh' Her fa mous contract to sing in An-rica pro vided that the monoy should be her at 2 o'clock on the d:y she sang; also a drawing room and sleeping car to be especially luilt for her. with conservatory. fernery. Fe. nrther. there was to be depoited to her credit $M.000 for paynent olf the last ten perfornminces-Patti's favorite device. She thus received abicat twenty times what Mario and Grisi got. Her private car incidentally cost $O.000 and contained a silver bath and gold keys to the doors. to say nothing of a S2.kX piano. Patti gave to the manager only her roice and her costumes. Her drawinr capacity justi fied this. -Lucia." as an example, was sung to an average of $14.000. -Trail ata" drew more, since she sang ncre notes. It was a frequent occurrence among the poorer music lovers to buy a club ticket and each take turns at hearinz her for twenty minutes. If one orerstayed his time he paid for the entire ticket. Some mathematicians computed by dividing the number of notes sung by the sum paid that In "Semiramide" Patti received 42% cents for each note. This was found to h? just 7 1-10 cents a note more than Ros sinI got for writing the whole opera. George Middleton in Bookman. Mexico City's Pawnsnop.

THEIR LAZY CLUB. . English Workmen Make Late Comer: t Pay For Tardiness. In the engineering shops of a cer 1 tain English firm the workmen of a year or two ago originated what the3 called the Lazy club. It was entirely their own Idea. which for obvious rea sons has received neither recognitio nor inancial support from the manage L ent. but has been the most excellenl means of reducing the number of late comers. Whenever a workman Is more than Lve minutes after time be finds the -ate locked, and he is not allowed to enter until the half hour is up. This half hour is deducted from his wages. but in addition he has also to pay to the treasurer of the Lazy club about 5 cents for coming late. If he is late more than once or so during a week everybody is aware of the fact. and the second or-third time be makes his appearance after starting time he is greeted with a terrifie com bination of noises produced on any available material by his fellow work men. At certain periods the accumulated funds of the Lazy club are divided. not among those who have produced them. it should be noted, but amnoag the entire star eqpnally. Thus the lnte workman Is made to pay the early comers for his laziness. The last distribution was just prior to a -bean fear " and funds accumnu lated during twelve months were dis tributed. amounting to over $I.75 a head.-System. ill be found represent mnor, Religion.
