Watklns will sing Taylor's "Beautiful Land on High," and "I Blood Outeldo the Gate" tomorrow night at Penn Avenue Baptist church. iMrsv At. J. Grambti formerly 'Alljjs Blanche Kesler, 'the talented vocalist of Honesdale, la expected to return from Seattle, Wash,, this week. Tho great demand for Alfred Wooler's beautiful sacred song, "Land So Fair," for tenor and soprano, has caused tho publishers, Oliver Dltson & Co,, to issue It also In another key, for baritone or mezzo soprano. Tho edition In tho key It Just out. I' II 'I After threo successful seasons of chamber concerts it would seem tinrdly necessary ngaln to call tho attention of our subscribers and the public to their qunllty or their aim. Tho linpo thnt they might become a permanent factor in tho winter's musical life has been fre quently expressed. Acting, therefore, upon this deslro wo have planned 11 similar series for the present season. The programmes will have tho samo general structure ns thoso o. ..10 previous years. But In addition to tho usual trio and qunrtotto numbers, tho performance of two or moro quintettes, will, It Is hoped, add still further to their Interest nnd enjoyment. Tho subscription price re mains the same, J5 for nvo season telkcts. This gives to each subscriber live re served seats for each concert. No sub scription enn bo received for less tlrnn 11 vo tickets, but nny subscriber may dls poso of such part of his ticket as bo may not need in whatever manner ho plcnses. Subscriptions may bo scut to Theodore Hembcrger, 415 Adams avenue; J. Willis Connnt, 413 Qulncy avenue, or R. W. Neubauer; business manugcr, CI2 Adams avenue. I! II I1 It will no doubt bo a delight to many to learn thnt tho fntnous Krcutzer son nta for violin and piano will be played by Messrs. Hembcrger nnd Conant at ono ot the coming series of chamber concerts. Thoso nrtlsts have been heard so few times In concert that this is only tho realization of past wishes nnd re quests' of subscribers. At the request ot innny the Schubert quintette, which wns so well received during tho last series, will bo repeated. Another quintette by Schuman will also bo heard. Mr. Rip pard, whose 'cello playing astonished so many nt tho Symphony orchestra con cert, is rehearsing with Mr. Connnt a duet for 'cello and piano, which they will play at ono of the chamber concerts. Wlllard Bunnell, who has recently been engaged as a member of St. Luke's choir, Is probnbly one of the finest tenors of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Bun nell was born near Montrose, and was llrst engaged musically as solo tenor of St. Paul's Episcopal choir of that town, where be sang until entering Huckuell. During his courso at tho university ho was lender of tho Bucknell Glee club, and his voice and work ns a leader nlded materially In the success of tho club. Mr. Bunnell wns also a prominent mem ber ot tho foot ball club of the college, and has been engaged to coach tho club tills season. Ho possesses a voice that Is powerful us well ns remarkably sweet and which Is under fair cultivation. Mr. Bunnell camo to Scranton a few weeks ago nnd entered tho olllco of Warren & Knapp as a law student. Since Joining tho choir at St. Luke's he has been uf flreted by a severo cold, ami has been unable, to do Justice to himself. Before tho winter Is over, however. It Is likely that Scranton musical peoplo will hear moro ot the Susquehanna county tenor. Many Inquiries are being made by the friends of tho Symphony society regaid lng Its new plan for having concert as sured each season by subscription. As has been published before, tho subscrip tion price is but $3. This gives to every subscriber two tickets for every concert In tho season and also makes the sub scriber an honorary member of tho i-o-clety. A city of the size and importance Scranton needs just such an organiza tion as tho Symphony society. Tho pro grammo for tho llrst concert presents a most Inviting number of compositions. There Is not a number which, even by tho most unmusical, could bo called un interesting or too daslc.il to be under stood. Tho orchestra numbers ilfty-nlno men, nnd although this the fourth sea. son that tho orcrestra has existed, and that not by as-'klng for help or asslstanco In Its many trying situations. It Is felt that this season will mark the turning point as regards the general public sen timent. The society has not played two-stops," etc., but has played other far more Interesting and Instructive music, and each year adds numbers to tho patrons who are beglnnlg to be able to mako very ereditnblo criticisms of the work of the society. This shows that tho publlo Is gradually being elevated In a musical way by the orchestra. As vet our moneyed citizens who have helped very considerably other societies to go away and win prizes have taken little In terest apparently In the orchestra. It Is to be hoped that they will contribute this season to tho support of the society which Is a fixture among us. The next concert will be held on Tuesday evening the Sdth ot this month. NOT ON ALL hill or fari:. Dishes Odd to Us Elphnnts' Legs nnd llomtinr Ducks. From tho New York Press. Some people go through life upon a diet of chops, steaks and roast beef, varied with mutton and ham. They don't know what good things there aro in the world to eat, and, to tell the truth, they would not eat the things thnt many consider delicacies even If they did know about them. It is highly probable, for lnstnnce, that there nre people in Xew York who hiivo never even heard of that delicacy, roast elephant's leg. No part of tho elephant is such good eat ing ns the IliHt Joint of the leg below the knee, when it is properly prepared. A hole three feet deep should be dug and filled with live coals. As soon as tho sides of the hole are baked hard take out the con ands put In the ele phant's foot and the Joint. Then cover with dirt, tightly packed, nnd build a blazing fire over It. The dish will bo cooked In threo hours, whn It can he dug up. You will find a gelatinous mas, which Is excellent, eating. Few restaurants In this city keep It on the bill of fart, however, nnd It is dlflieult to prepare It properly at home. Old Aplclu of Rome has left us the recipe for a dish when ho invented nnd named a "tetrapharmncon." You take a gamy peacock, a freshly-killed pheas ant, the udder and hock of a wild sow. a nightingale, some pieces of fat pork or other fat meat, tho hearts of chick ens, nnd the livers of geese, some oys ters, fruits to suit the taste, spices nnd two or threo kinds of flnvorlngs. These ingredients should be baked In a dish with a bread pudding spread over the top. Nightingales are a little senre at this season of the year, but any ono wishing to have a "tetrapharmacon" for dinner can get most of tho other Ingredients at the market. The Huns of history were a people with Ideas of their own regarding food and tho wny It. should bo prepared. They had no use for tho dishes of the RomutiH, but used to eat their meat raw, merely heating it by carrying It for a whllo strapped on their horses' backs under the saddles. To this duy the pennants on the Norwegian coast aro fond of a meal of herrhig and sour milk. When Thackeray first ate nn Ameri can oyster he said It seemed like eat ing raw baby, and another dlstln gulshed Britisher, when Introduced by Daniel Webster to that glorious dish, clam chowder, uld: "I have eaten worse things, but not often, not often." Gastronomic likes and dlsllken nre, after nit, matters of place and time. People who have been In the far East will never think a curry complete un less it la served with "Bombay duck." A Bombay duck is a Jlttlo dried fish which adds mightily .to the delights afforded by a curry. They can be bought generally at one of the big grocery houses of New York. Tills house first Imported the 'Bombny duck" to satisfy the appetites of naval officers who had been on duty at the China station and longed for "ducks" with curry. Religions N?us. -- j Tho pastors nnd many ot the con servative church people of tho city do not look with especial favor on the action of the City union with regard to "manning" tho street cars with young women on Thursday next in or der to raise the Christian Endeavo? debt. Tho eum of money needed, $200, Is deemed scarcely sufficient to war rant such nn Innovation ns Is pro posed, nnd whllo they do not wish to discourage any method of progress adopted by the Endenvorers, they still question this mode of securing money, and feel that It Is scarcely In accord with the sentiments of the majority of the Scranton societies. Very few mothers sanction the plan ot allowing their daughters to collect fares on street cars and the proposition to send young girls out to stand on street corners nnd solicit pntronnge for tho car tralllc seems to meet with much disapproval. The argument Is made by ninny of those who ralso objections that Scranton street car patronage is such In some directions that a young girl Is decidedly out of place in at tempting tho work assigned her by the City union. Young men of nil classes are frank In stating that they would not permit their slstern to assume this role, and a number of central city societies have expressed their deter mination to not send representatives to promote the project. While none but tho most praiseworthy motives can bo Imputed to tho.se at the head ot the movement It. Is believed by many that the name results could be nttalncd by other methods. The Rev. Horace Peckover, who has accepted the pastorate of the Puritan Congregational church of North Scrnn ton, nirlved yesterday morning with his family from .Toronto, Canadn, nnd will mnke his home, for the present, on School street. Mr. Peckover was formerly a missionary In the West Indies and while there did valiant ser vlco for the cause of Christianity.

The subject matter re lates to Paul, ns Illustrating the com mand. "Thou therefore endure hardness ns a good soldier of Jesus Christ." It Is replete with pleasing diction and eloquent Illustration. Tho price is ten cents. On Wednendny evening of next week the Young People's society of All Soul's church, on line street, will hold a Silhouette social, which will prove a very Instructive as well as amusing entertainment.

The margin of safety Is naturally ex tremely generous In elevators, arid there are various forms of safety clutches, many of them automatic in their action; but the experience of New York goes to show thnt none of these can be a full substitute for the air cushion In the pit. The nctlon of this device In insuring safety is almost magical. In some experiments with such nn elevator-well In a fomous and altltudlnous store the car was taken to the top of the building nnd allowed to full with the brake off. An eye-witness of the experiment says: "It fell to the top of the pit with tremendous force, nnd struck the cushion of air with a sound ns if it had struck soft earth; it seemed to stop suddenly at the top of the pit and slowly setlod down to the bottom. It was clear that the pit was too small at the top; that the slope of the sides was too slight; that If the escape of air had been freer at the impact the stopping would have been sensibly gradual. The stop was really gradual, as was shown by the fact that a half a dozen eggs in a paper bag (that I had put on tho elevator floor for the trial) survived the fall without Injury. INTERVIEWING Mil. EDISON. From tho New York Sun. Air. Edison Is usuully very ready to tell newspapermen about his new Inven tions at the proper time, but ho cxpocts that tho men who are sent to interview him shall know something In a general way about the subject on which they ask him to talk. Ho dislikes to havo tho In terviewer mako many notes. Several years ago a very green interviewer, who didn't know the dlfferenco between a volt nnd a dynamo, asked Air. Edison to glvo him somo Information for a newspaper that was new and freakish. Tho Inter viewer pulled out a largo now notebook that ho had purchased for tho occasion and asked Air. Edison a leading tpiostion. Tho Wizard looked at him In surprise, and, instead of replying, he said: "Young man, you aro Inexperienced in this business, and my time is valuable. If I talked to you you would not bo able to publish It straight. I discovered long ago that a man's standing on a paper might bo Judged Inversely by tho number of notes that he took during an inter view. Your preparations frighten mo and tho slzo of your notebook appals me." A LITTLE UOY'S LAMENT. A. T. Worden In Sioux City Tribune. I'm going back down to grandpa's, I won't come back no more To hear the remarks auotit my feet A-muddyln' up the lloor. They's too much said about my clothes, The scoldln's never done. I'm goln' back down to grandpa's, Whoro a boy kin hev, some tun I dug up ha'f his garden A-glttln' worms fr bait; Ho said ho used to like It When I laid abed so late; Ho said that plo was good for boys, An' candy made 'em row. Ef I can't go to grandpa's lit turn pirate llrst you know. Ho let me take his shotgun, An' loaded It fer me; The cats they hid out In tho barn, Tho hens How up a tree, I had a circus In the yard With twenty other boys I'm goin' back to grandpa's. Where they uln't afraid of noise. He didn't mako mo comb my hair But once or twice a week; Ho wasn't watchln' out fer words I didn't orter speak; He told me Btorles 'bout tho war And Injuns shot out west, Oh, I'm goln' down to grandpa's, For ho knows wot boys like host ile even run a roco with me, But had to stop an" cough: Ho rodo my bicycle nnd laughed Beo'tis ho tumbled oft; Ho knew tho early apple trees Around within a mile. Oh, grandpa was a dandy, An' was "In It" all tho while, I bet you grandpa's lonosomo I don't care what you say; I seen him kinder cryln" When you took me away. When you talk to mo of heaven, Where all the good folks go, I guess I'll go to grandpa's, An' we'll have good times, I know, A VALEDICTORY AS TO THE FACE Mrn Who Wonder Why They Are So Beautiful. OTHERS WHO WISH IMPROVEAIDNTS A iicttcr from n JMnn Who Wants 11 Rcst--A Wllo Who Is Too J.iithiii instic Over tho Bonutlfylng Pro-ccss--Indopcndcnc(! the Result of Pacini Massage. A puzzling thing connected with this "beautifying" subject is that men Room actually Interested in the matter. Whether they dlszulse their own per sonal Interest in apparent anxiety to renovate wives, daughters and sis ters, Is not easily determined, hut at any rate they ask many ouestlona concerning facial massage. It Is my private opinion that a large number ot men In this city might bo found during their hours of solitude, careful ly "making up" before the mirror, en deavoring: to eradicate crows' feet, smile prettily mid rub out tho first development of n double chin. Ono innn writes to ask It I know of anything that wilt reduco rodncssi of the nose. With tho exception of leaving off tippling, it is diitlcult to recommend a sure cure for this facial defect. After some research, I find that you I mean a man may soak his noso in a preparation ot ichthyot, some thing or other with a consequent Im provement. Another wants) lo cot a recipe for something that wilt cause lila beard to bo silky and soft. Still another anxiously inquires whether I can rec ommend nny of the people who pro fess to bclnu able to reclaim hopeless noses and pare down superilulty of ear or chin. I really don't feel competent to clv advice on this matter. In fact I always supposed that men considered themselves so nearly perfeot in feature and dlsTJosttlon that no. radical steps were needad for a change, but it seems I was laboring under a hallucination. One of the letters received ran an fol lows: Aly Dear Saucy Bess: Will you be o kind as to let up on thll beauty 'business? Wo'vo had onough ot It. In fact in ono family wo'vo had al together too much. Aly wife always look:) well enougn. Sho Isn't any great beauty and never was though 1 probably tola her so when wo were llrst married. Any how sho says I did, and maybo I did. All men are fools at somo timo In their cn leer, but there's no call for hor ta start In primping und fussing with her face nt her timo of lite. Instead of going to beiti llko a respectable person sho Is possessed to sit up nights nnd rr.nut her faco and by the time she is done moAJllng, greas ing, pulling and pinching her counte nance she Is a holy Bhow. I never ex pected to llvo to Mio a wife of mine per form in such a manner. Slnco she hasi an idea that she's going to renew her youth, sho'o got very inde pendent. When I remonstrated with her the other night about letting the gas flaro In my eyes when I wanted to sleep uh assured mo that I wa9 afraid my wifo would look so fresh and young that I'd) bo takoa for her father, and then wont serenely on with her greasing operations, until I felt like pitching a lot of stutc sho. bought out of .the window. Thin thing must bo stopped. SIio'h taken to setting before the glass most of tho timo and when I said something to this effect, sho coolly remarked that It was in imitation of me, .since I havo a glass before mo entirely too frequently but of a different kind. If there's any thing I can't stand it's Insubordination In tho family nnd for (pity's sake glvo us a rest on tho faco question. Just on long as you persist in writing a lot ot stuff about making homely folks beau tiful she'll continue trying everything you recommend and I tthall havo to see her going round looking like a greased pig. Why don't you Jump on the woman's rights business as you usod to, and not get foolish women Into tho notion that It's any use to try to look fascinating after they're married? If you'll start oil a new tack moxt week you'll oblige ai weary Afartyr Husband. Perhaps your faces aro all tired af ter reading so much about the manip ulation necessnry to the contenanco beauty. Perhaps .they need a rest, and If a dissertation on care of the hands is taken up next it may be of inter est. I know a sure cure for Anger nail biting that disgusting' habit, which Is almost as bad as chewing to bacco.
