' •• - - ; It means to ''■ think before we act \ but l most of us pass upon the small details, which really go to make up life, without consideration of circumstances ;or results. A fellow, maybe a person whom we dearly love, says something that we do not like, - and we at once try to :" give him worse than ;he sent". A bus iness associate seems to take ': some advantage of us, and we resolve to "lay for him" ever after. f Things go wrong lin our house, and, instead of trying to set them right, we storm and cuss. Nothing is f much truer than the saying that most of our troubles never happen. Yet, we forget that life is pretty much all contention and that the best way to contend with things or people is with calmness and sense." . ffe|The\ fellow who hears all the arguments, chews them over in his mind and then decides as conscience dictates, feels satisfied • even if he sometimes has to feel uncomfortable.

He made the discovery in 1842, and immediately claimants of the glory sprang up everywhere, chief among these being Dr. W. G. T.

NEW YORK, July s.—Why Is a theater orchestra? Perhaps this question has never occurred to you. Probably It never has to most people. All our theater-going lives we have listened to the overture aa some thing which had to precede the rising of the curtain, to the be tween-acts excerpts from the lat est musical shows as a relief from the chatter of our neigh bors, and to the final selection as something which makes the slow crawl up the aisle a trifle less tedious. But do people really care to be musically entertained, or assault ed, as the case may be, before the curtain goes up, between the acts, and while they are leaving? Theater managers have for un numbered years taken it for granted that they do. But with in the past few days the question has been raised in New York in a way which has caused the showmen to do some thinking, and which may lead to a trial of orchestraless theaters in this city. The musicians' union has been gradually increasing the cost of orchestra music by raising the scale of wages, and its latest de mand, recently presented, touch ed a new high-water mark. The theater managers got together and rejected the scale. "No music, then," said the 2fesrjtaythfi_s The MORE one thinks about SOME people the LESS one THINKS of them. THEN MA GOT MAD!

Whereupon, to the Intense sur prise and dismay of the musi cians, the managers merely re plied, "Oh, very well." It did not take the union lead ers long to see that their posi tion was not quite what they had thought it was, and to make over tures (entirely unintentional joke) for a compromise. A compromise will probably be reached, but the managers have got a bee in their bonnets just the same, and it may some day sting the music makers. David Belasco has had no or chestra in his local theaters for several seasons. He cut out the music after trouble with the union, and asserts that his pat rons do not complain of the lack of Instrumental entertainment. As the omission saves Mr. - Be lasco quite a little money, there is not much likelihood of the musicians getting back into his houses. • William Hammersteln has hurled defiance at the union in the present strained situation by engaging for the Victoria roof a women's orchestra that does not belong to any union, and the Gaiety theater has Installed some kind of a foreign contraption in the nature of an automatic or chestra, looking like a huge player-piano, and having violins and other Instruments Inside It.
