New York, May 33.—Every spring New
York gets wildly excited about the comic
opera that is going to be put on for the
summer months. New Yorkers, taken in
the mass, like a tuneful opera; one whore
there are pretty girls, pretty gowns and
pretty dancing. The average mas or woman
doesn't care in the least whether the music
is suggestive of something else or not, pro
vided it is pleasing. The average man or
woman doesn’t care in the Ibast if an actress
if 60, provided she looks 16, and in this they
■bow their sense.
BE WOLE HOPPER’S NEW OPERA.
The other night the theatr-going popula
tion of New York orowded to tee the oj>era
that rejoices in the mellifluous name of
“Wang.” It rhymes with “sang,” and it
also rhymes with ‘ ‘pang,” and nobody knew
which would suit it iwst. I have always
regarded De Wolf Hopper as a kindly dis
posed gentleman, with long legs and an in
clination to believe the greatest
amount of amuseuisnt was gotten out
of an artificial s omaeh and a seltzer
bottle. However. I went to see the
opera more in sorrow than in anger, but be
fore the second soug was sung 1 was im
mensely glad that I was there, and at the
end of the first act I wanted to apologize
personally to Mr. Hopper because 1 hadn’t
realized bow funny he could be before, and
later on I had to confess there was no arti
ficial stomach, no huge buckle, and no
seltser battle. Instead, there was the best
property elephant I ever saw In my life
and prettier girls than have been la auy
oomio opera here for many a long day.
AN IDITION DX LUXB OF SWEETNESS.
There were twenty dark-haired beauties
who wore blue and white yachting gowns,
and who looked as smart as do the young
women In the swell London shop#, where
the requisites are that they must have
pretty faces, good figures and agreeable
voices. But oh! oh! the sweetest thing in
“Wang” was little Della Fox. Between
you and me, I wanted to buy her and put
her on a bride’s cake. She was the dearest
thing in dress clothes you ever saw in your
life, but she wouldn’t have been
a woman If she hadn’t put her
hands iu her pockets. As she is a
woman, I can speak plainly about her
belongings, and say that if any of the man
in the audience had butter fitting trousers I
didn’t see them; and if any of them man
aged to keep their shii t fronts smoother
they were not visibly; and that if a single
one among them could have danced as she
did and still had his high collar iii good
shape he had better go as au a Ivertiseme ,t
for some laundry. I have always iiked
little women, and now I am convinced,
after seeing this edition de luxe of
sweetness and small sire, that I am right.
There is a funny little song at the
end ef the opera; It’s a bit like a pro
logue, iu which Mr. Hopper asks the audi
enoe to please let them' know whether they
have made a suooesi, or whether they have
fot an elephant on their handa, and though
don’t know Mr. Hopper, thougu I feel 1
owe him an apology for tha past, atilt, I do
want to say right hare, In black and white,
that it’s one of the prettiest and one of the
most amusing little ope; as that New York
has seen for a long time. It may sound
vain, but I think I do know a good thing
when I see it, aod I don’* mind telling
about it.
A FEMININE CENSOR Or MORALS.
Not long ago a woman laid, “I don’t care
to go with that woman. Who is she? Are
you sura she is all right J" Another woman
aaid to me, "That woman is a prude,” and
then she said, "listen while I go over and
l*ad her on." She asked her if sue had seen
Miss Grey. My Lady Prude announced that
there had been some talk about Mia< Grey,
and she hadn’t kept up an acquaintance with
her. Bhe then asked her how Airs, Black
was, and she was told that Airs. Black was
very well, but added to this came the state
ment that, “though I like Mrs. Black very
muob, I am told there is something queer
about her marriage, and you know, really,
one has to be very carefnl with whom one
associates nowadays. I wouldn’t have the
name of a woman who was the least bit oft
color oaunectfd with mine for worlds!"
My friend came back to me and asked
" What do you think of that?” And I said
" Suppose Christ had felt that way toward
Mary Magdalen. Suppose every one of us
were ready to push the other woman down,
down, down, until she hadn’t even the lad
der of hope to climb upon?” Itset me think
ing, and 1 wondered if, when my Lady Prude
went to church there wasn't eome danger of
her getting near a woman who was what
the called "off color," and I wondered too,
if she ever entered the gates of heaven,
which I doubted, whether she might find
some poor soul whcße sins had been as ecar
let, and who yet had them washed as white
as snow. And then I wondered by what
right this woman judged all other women.
To decide this I went to one of those old
ladies who know everybody In New York
and all about them, and said to her, “Who
and what is my Lady Prude? And why is
she counted the oensor of morals?"
THE STORT or A PRUDE.
The old gentlewoman put up her glasses
looked at me, and answered: "Hassue con
stituted herself thatl Well, my dear, when
you come across a woman who finds no good
In anybody else you oan nearly always con
clude that her own life and her own heart
are black. Now, I happen to know the story
of this woman’s life, and I will tell It to you
to point my moral. She came, I think, from
Boston. She was a pretty, healtby-looking
girl, and her great ambition was to go on
the stage. Sne got there, and duriog her
very first eeason, with her eyes wide open
and understanding perfectly well what she
was doing, she became more than the close
friend of the manager of the company, and
she became notorious for her depravity.
1 can always forgive a woman who
sins for love or through ignoranoe -
I have nothing whatever else to
say about the oue who tins from motives of
policy. This women came to New York;
made acquaintances among a lot of fast
men and bo ame the mistress of the aemi
idlotic son of a rich family. He was given
no money, consequently,' while she went
every place with him, the money on which
•he dressed and lived came from other men.
She biackmailed a little, she bulldozed a
great deal more.
ONE DAY SHE GOT A WARNING
from the woman in whose house she lived,
and who was a dressmaker. She told her:
“If you are not careful, even th jt fool wili
find you out and won’t marry Tou.” But
one mgbt, whan he wae a little drunker
than muni, he did marry her. Now, if she
had been an honest, true wife to him and
led a quiet, decent life, it would hare been
all right; but, no, she had social
aspirations, and her idea of climbing the
social ladder was to tell of the blackness
of aytry other wobsd, thinking by that
to make herself pure white. Women are
afraid of her. She bat a peculiarly smooth,
caressing manner, and the stranger is apt
to be impressed by her. Does the story
•■sues you? Do yon-see the moral? No
woman can discover plug us spots on an
othar who has not had them be-sslf. The
lonooeiit w-miau doesn't know wiiat they
ora, and If the other woman were only wise
would hold her longum and the world in
wfciah he is waioui So inuva would never
find it out."
imAm 0 ' **' ** **** Bu longer young,
H*m 0000 LOOKS ARE OONE,
I may add to your moral that she is prob
ably a prude because she can no longer at
tract by the charms of youth.” ‘‘Yes,”
nodded the old lady, “that's the result of a
treat deal of reformation, so ctlled. You
know I believe drunkenness is a disease, and
: too often the reformed drunkard is the man
whose stomach is worn out; aid so it is with
a rake. Not, my dear, that people can’t re
pent and do what’s right, but I don’t think
it is respectable for them to wait until they
are old and miserable to offer them-elve* as
examples for other people to follow.”
FRED GERHARD NO LONGER HANDSOME.
Tee first nignt that Kose Cogblan played
"I-adv Barter,” that marvelous play where
there are three acts and six gowns, not to
mention an opera cloak, the actor who
played tha boy lover was made up most
perfectly to represent Fred Gebhard.
The likeness was absolutely startling.
I don’t know just why it was changed, but
the seoond time I saw the play he was
his blonde self rather tbau the
brunette Freddy. Anybody seeing Fred Geb
hard in the park nowadays would be
startled at bis appearaure. fie has been
very ill, and hit skin Is a peculiar waxy
oolor, while one-half of his jet black mous
tache is perfeotly gray—indeed, I might say
white. At one time he was a marvelously
hand'ome man, handsome in an absolutely
material sense, but today bis good looks
are gone, and though in years he is a young
man, there is a peculiarly old and disap
pointed look in bis face.
RUSK COGHLAN’s STUNNING GOWN.
If you ever doubted the liking that men
have for yellow, you ought to hear them go
into raptures over a mandarin yellow tea
gown worn by Rose Coghlan when she plays
•‘Lady Barter.” Men who never knew w.iat
other women had on, except, as they
vaguely expressed it, “what seeiued a nice
frook,” gloat over this glory in yellow, as if
beautiful gowns lied neve.' been made be
fore. RoieCoghlan looks marvelously well
in this color. Few wo men could wear it,
but it brings out the glints of gold in her
hair, shows the clearne-s of her eyos, e.nd
the healthiness of her complexion.
HOW WOMEN’S COMPLEXIONS DECEIVE.
How few people know what a good com
plexion it! Avery young man is apt to
think that the girl whose complexion is
wonderfully white, with just a spat of pink
iu her ohoeks, is lovely. Now, any doctor,
oould tell him that a oiurse of cod liver oil
was what that girl wanted. An elderly man
is apt to think that a woman with a very
high color possesses an extremely good com
plexion ; nine times out of ten she either laoes
too tight or eat* too much. What is a good
complexion, then! A good complexion is one
that comes and goes—-I don’t mean from tho
rouge pot or the powder box, I mean one that
has a creamy background in harmony with
tho eyes and hair, over which there i* a
good shading of pink that deepeus when
any emotion is flit or which pales when
fright is experienced. A good complexion
cau always stand a little sunburn and a few
frackles, and that is one reason why I oin
a >t understand the great desire of the av
erage girl to abolish these kis>es of the sun.
Do 1 object to powder and rouge 1 To be
quite plain, I do; and yet, if you oan put
them on well, I have not a word to soy
against your dolug it; but, unless you are
mistress of the art of make-up, do not waste
your time and money on red and white, for
it is a waste, and dou’t make you look well,
and you deceive nobody.
HOW TO SPEND AND NOT TO WASTE.
Tuere is nothmg as delightful in this
world as buying things, but to know how to
expend your time aud money so that there
will be uo waste is tee secret of domestic
and political economy alike.
It is not a waste to spend your money on
theater tickets if you are going to get three
hours of solid enjoyment out of it.
It is not a waste to spend your money iu
oabs, in good medioina, and in good things
to eat when you are going to get health
from them.
It is not a waits to buy somebody a bunch
of flowers, a box of candy, or anew book,
for it is going to bring a smile to her fan
and happiness to her heart.
It is not a waste to squander pleasant
words everywhere; you will reap a benefit
from them.
It is not a waste to have your coats an I
trousers, gowns and jackets well made, for
they will wear that much longer.
it is not a waste to spend your money on
newspapers and magazines, because then
you learn to tAlk about something else be
sides your neighbors’ affairs.
It is not a waste to spend your mousy at
all—that is what money is made for. It
was made to give tue greatest amount of
pleasure and happiness to you and me, aud
we are consummate fools if we and >u’t realize
that. Of course, my friend, I don’t know
how it is with you, I can only say that the
spending of money has never been any
trouble whatever to me. Bab.

dles.
(Copyright >
New York, May 23. —A canoe la a dan
gerous thing (or a greenhorn to meddle
with, but a safe thing in the bands of an
Indian or an expert. The first rule of
safety is to keep your own weight and the
weight of your load close to the bottom of
the cinoe. If this caution is followed few
accidents need happen, for the lower the
weight center of the cargo is kept below the
water line the more will tbs buoyancy and
lightness of the oraft tell lu favor of sta
worthiaess, she will ride the wares like a
duck. The birch bark canoe is the model of
all open paddling canoes, and one who has
become thoroughly at home in that ship of
the woods may safely trust himself in anj
other.
The ordinary birch bark cinoe, such as is
made by the Indians of Maine, that home
of canoeing, is about twenty feet long, and
will carry two paddlers, with a couple of
hundred pouuds of baggage. It can be
bought for fifteen or twenty dollars, fresh
from the stocks; a few years ago tenor
twelve dollars would buy a small one, but
as tha barque gets scarce and long journeys
have to oe made to got it, the cost increases.
Let us supposs we have one of the beautiful
pieces of handicraft, finished only yester
day, and delivered tnis morning in your
riverside dooryard. How shall we get the
most pleasure out of it, and keep tue frail
thing taut and neat for four or hve years,
the extent of a canoe’s life!
First, while the shining yellow cedar
ribs and lining are fresh and clean give the
inside, the bars and gunwales, a good coat
of raw paint oil. This mny be renewed at
midsummer, and each spring thereafter.
The outeide may with advantage be given
a coat of oil, varnish, and drier, mixed in
equal proportions; this will preserve the
small eyas of the bark, and effectually keep
the bark from getting water soaked on a
long Journey, as old canoes are apt to do.
The rosin for mending seams and leaks
should be melted with ab ut ono-.-ighth its
bulk of cleau lard or paint oil. The exact
proportion can best be learned by rule of
thumb, as it must vary with the season; in
hot weather more rosin will bs needed to
keep the mixture from meltiug iu the sun
after it is applied, while in cold weather
mere grease will be needed to keep it from
cracking and chipping < ff through brittle
ness. Iu all cases it must be put on as hot
as possible, with a sliver of wood, and care
must bo taken to have the cracks or eyes
perfectly dry when it is applied. Now, if
our canoe is ready and tight from stem to
stern (ss you cau easily see by putting a
couple of buckets of water iu her and
watching for any drops to leak through) let
us have a first lesson in paddling.
To get our vessel to the river, stand by
the canoe as she rests on her keel on the
ground, grasp the middle bar near the gun
wa.e with your right hand .and at its center
with your left hand; raise the canoe to your
kuee and give it a flip as if you were throw
ing a rail across your shoulder; let the
middle bar fall into place on the thick
muscle between tbe neck and the bony point
of the right shoulder, at the same time let
ting go with the left band aud shifting it to
eaten the gunwale a couple of feet i:i front
of you on the left hand side, extending the
arm far enough forward to give you
command ia balancing the load; the right
hand may now be shifted from its hold on
tho bar, and the gunwale grasped with it
(the fingers on the inside of the canoe)
about a foot in front of you. You will now
find thQ canoe resting lightly on your
shoulder, the middle bar extending across
the hollow of your right shoulder aud out
onto the muicle of the right arm. If you
are strong, a little practice will enable you
to carry the canoe, using the right hand
alone; you may stop aud pick up your
paddle with the left, and march off. An
expert canoeist will take his kneeling cush
ions and paddle in his left hand first, aud
then shoulder ths craft with his right hand
alone. But this is needlessly troublesome,
and uiually the canoe is kept on rests up
side down so that one only has to walk
under and lift her off.
Then when we come to the water; you
must sat her afl at lightly from some land
ing p ace, taking oaro not to let her touch
bottom any where while loading. Place the
load as low as possible, and mass it amid
ships as far as is convenient. Let your bow
mau get in and sit down on a cushion on
the bottom of a canoe, with another cushion
at bis back. U pon uo account allow him to
kneol up agaiust the bar or to sit on his
heels; this ruie is imperative; the Indians
never violate it unless, perhaps, in racing.
More accidents occur through the bowman
kneeling up than any other way. It looks
otumsy and top-beavy and is always dan
gerous.
In stepping Into a canoe never stick your
paddle in before you and lean on it; lay it
across the gunwales in front of your place;
put a naud on each side of the canoe and
step in properly. You are now in tho stern,
where the canoe Is just wide enough to al
low you to kneel sitting on your heels, with
your toes together, close back against the
end bar. A thin cushion under your knees
if you wish;a thicker one under your instep
will give most comfort. The gunwales of
the canoe ought now to oorne close to your
waist just above the hips, and should fit so
snugly (without perhaps actually touching
you) that you can by a twist of your body
oontrol the rolling of the canoe in a sea.
When you beoome thoroughly at home in
the birch you wili find this a great help in
climbing the shifting bills.
Now for the paddle. It is made of rock
maple. The older it is the better, for it will
be dry and light and springy. Anew paddle
is apt to be good for a couple of hours only:
then the blade twists and the spring will all
be gone out of it. But an old stager, brown
with age and oil, Is a treasure to be guarded.
The paddle caunot be oiled too often. As to
size, it should be tbe length of the paddler,
though some preftr a short handle, it
should balance in tbe hand when held just
where the blade joins the haft.
When you are seated in the canoe, with
the paddle lying across the gunwales in
front of you, I will atipposa you are to te
gin work on the left or port side, your bow
man, of course, paddling on the starboard.
Take the paddle i.i your left hand at the
thickest part, just above the blade, the
fingers and thumb uppermost; the right
hand may be placed in the same position on
the upoer end, or flat handle, or it may be
shifted a little so that some of the fingers
go over the end of the paddle; lift the left
a little, swing the right into tbe air a little
back from the face until it is some
where in front of your right eye; let the
blade go sharply into the water, taking hold
as it outs down; pull hard back with tbe
left, letting this lower band just clear the
water; push ahead with tho right; keep
your back hollowed, and tbe stroke is half
done. Then oomes the curl at the end,
which enables you to steer. Evidently
when paddling alone, if a single-bloded
paddle is used, every stroke on this left side
will drive your craft to the right, but the
effect is counteracted constantly by the
twist of the paddle. By turning your
wrists, turn the outer edge of the blade for
ward until the back or rear side of Jho pad
dle it so completely turned ns to catch the
water and bo: as a rudder. This you will
do inora easilv by pressing down and to the
right with the right hand, and (at first at
least) allowing the haft of the paddle just
above tbe left hand to come agaiust the
gunwale, giving the right baud a leverage
in t lev ring This turn of tbe paddle is the
only difficult thing to learn; ouae master, and
tbo rest is easy; it should he begun when
tha stroke te half through, and should be
dans so instinctivsly that absolutely uobalt
la mods la lb# stroks from beginning to end.
the peddle should be swung out of the
water at a email sugis, tha right hand wall
down, the point of tbo blade skimming the
water, and the loft baud carrying tbe haft
swiftly forward again. Tbe thumb of tha
! lower band need not ba placed around the
; handle unless it is rough weather; than it is
necessary or you may have your paddle
knocked out of your hands.
Tbe Imman makes the same stroke as
the steersman, except that there is no twist
in It, at be bas nothing to do with keeping
the course of the canoe. Whatever you do,
don't lean over the side toward the paddle.
The only motion of the body must be fore
and eft, throwing its weight into the end of
eacn stroke.
You can tell a white man from an Indian
a long distance off by the difference in the
paddling. A white man paddles more with
his arms and less with his body than an
Indian.
Here is a test Of good paddling. When
you think you are thoroughly proficient,
watoh your blade as it goes into the water;
if it makes a single tiny eddy as it comes
aft in the stroke you have not reached per
fection, In a year or two you will see it
out the water without a ripple, and fairly
sing and swish as you drive It down.
Tbe best canoeing clothing are a woolen
shirt, woolen socks, red leather or oanvas
shoos and trousers of homespun or cordu
roy.
In smooth water you may kneel up, rest
ing against ths bar, or you may even sit
upon it with your feet out ahead of you, but
in rough weather tbe place for you is low
on your heels as I have described; for you
thus have far greater ooutrol over your
craft.
On landing at night at the end of a day’s
journey, after unl ading the canoe, lift her
out and turn her over to rest on one gun
wale and her two bows, or better still turn
her over a couple of old logs, resting evsnly
on both gunwales. In the daytime when
in camp if it is hot and the rosin is in dan
ger of melting the canoe may be left in the
shade, resting on her bottom among the
small bushes or in tbe grass. She will come
to no harm as long as no weight is inside
her.
As to trimming a canoe, the load should
bs so placed as to make her a little heavier
aft than forward, rr she will not steer, hut
will yes-yaw about in a most aggravating
way. In running down a rough stream,
however, where a pole has to be used, it
will be found necessary to have her loaded
slightly by the head, or else the current will
catch the stern aud slow it round unmerci
fully.
In poling a canoe up rocky streams,
through rapids, a “setting pole” of spruce
is used. This should be about ten feet long,
and about an inch and a half diameter at
the thiokest part. Polling is very hard to
learn, but when once the art is acquired it
isadelighful exercise. You may pole, as
you may paddls, on either side. If it is to
t>e tho left side again, where we began our
lesson, stand erect in your place in the
stern, facing almost square out over the left
gunwale. Take the pde In your left hand
about four feet from tha top, thumb to the
front and clasped about it, allowing the
lever end of the po'.e to trail overboard
toward the stern; raise the left arm and
swing the lower end of the pole forward
and Out over the water to bring it in a
curve up to a point a tew inches from the
side, a couple of feat ahead of where you
stand, at tho same time grasping the pole
with the right hand about a foot
below the left; the right hand now does
the business of driving the pole down to
a firm sitting on the bottom, the
left hand sliding up for anew hold near the
top of the pole; next the icght hand is
shifted above the left and tbe weight of the
body thrown on the bending white spruce,
veils the canoe trembles and springs ahead
up the steep foaming track. To
steer her is difficult; if you wish
to go to tbe right the end of the
pole must be set well under tae bottom of
tho canoe aod you must draw yourself and
tbe stern of the canoe toward the pole as
you give the last push; to alter the course
to the left, the pole will be sec eloping down
from ths canoe some little distance from
the side, and you will push the stern away
from the point where the pole is set, thus
driving your bow in the desired direction.
If an accident occurs in the rapids, and
your canoe nee Is repairs, a very bad split
in tbe bark may have to be sewed up with
small spruoe roots soaked until they are
pliable. Usually a few tacks driven in from
the outside, fastening tbe bark to the ribs,
will suffice. If the break is more serious it
may be repaired as follows; Take out the
ribs of the caaoe for a foot on each side of
the break, by knocking them aft toward
the center of the canoe, then raise , the thin
cedar tlats and take a few stitches
through the birk with your spruce roots.
Make the stitches an inch or an inch and a
half long, According to circumstances. Re
place tho ribs and drive them well home.
Then outaide cover theetitohes with a piece
of ootton dipped in boiling hot rosin, and
smooth it dowu with a piece of hot iron.
This hot iron, by the way. is very useful
and often quite sufficient to stop a leak,
without the need of putting on any addi
tional rosin.
In winter a canoe should be well housed
from alternating rain aad frost; and all her
ribs should be slightly loosened to prevent
the bark from splitting when strained aud
tightened iu the cold. Bliss Carman.
CORSETS.
“ Wear it a week or two or
three, till you make up your
mind about it, and then bring
it back and get your money
back.
“ Wear it a year; and, if a
bone is broken or kinked
or slipped or shifted, bring it
back to us and get your
money back.”
What do you think of the
Kabo corset when it is sold
with such guarantees as those
two ?
