Miss Mary Anderson.

NOB FAMOUS ACTRESS MAKES SUCCES3 AS SINGER.

Mme. ds Kavarko, as Miss Mary Anderson, was queen of the stag* when she retired into domestic life In tht bey day of her beauty and her artistic triumphs eleven years ago. She has never appeared in public on any stag* since. * Our Mary,' as the Americans fondly call her. sang in the

o*nH»ilof Eveshair, Woroe^e'-ehlre. in aid of a fund for her hoase of worship In Broadway, where she and her husband and little eon live happily sr quartered. She was welcomed by:,a fashionable »nd enthaslaßtic sadiencs. Ib was howtVf r, as a vocalist and not as an actress (h it she again appeared before the public Mary Anderson possesses a rich, clear, contralto voice, and she h&» f« r th« past two years been a pupil of Mr Francis Korbay, the Hungarian composer. Mr Korbay, has bean stsying with the Navarros at fcheir qtslet couflfrjl hrme at Broadway, where they have aa their next door neighbour Maud Valeric White, and , It,was with songa of these eminent! com posers th»fc M»ry Anderson ehoae to mate kerreappeai me*. Ib was hard to believe that eleven years had elapsed Biuoe the talent ed actress bade farewell bo the stage, for time has doalc co leniently with her that Bh« la still the beautiful Mary Anderson of old. X new pong of Maud Valeric White's, "Tne Fifes of June," her first song, was delightfully rendered, and she opened the second part oi the ooncett with two Hungarian aongs by Mr Korbay (who accompanied her) Two more songs of Miss Wh te's concluded Mme. de Navrro's onntrlbuticM tn the programme. Every song was encored most; <mthnsiastlcally by frhe fashionable audience.

The motive which brought the talented actress from her cherished retirement; was of the highest—the needs of the Broadway Monastery, where she and her husband worship

Among the artists who assisted Mme. de Navarro were Miss Fanny Davies, Mr J. M. Ooward (organ), Mf Joseph O'Mara (tenor), end Mr Arthur Grorer (baritone)

Selling Sutter by Thu Yard.

Probably Oa tab ridge is the only place in the world where one would be likely to find butter sold by lineal measure; but here, in accordance with the whole custom, it is literally sold by the yard. For generations it has been tha pr&ctice of Cambridgeshire dairy folk to roll their butter into lengths, each length measuring a yard and weighing a pound Deftly wrapped in strips of clean white cloth, the cylindrical rolls are packed into long and narrow baskets made for the purpose and thus conveyed to market.

Tht batter women who, in white linen aprons and sleeves, preside over the stalls in the market have no need of weights or scales for dispensing their wares, constant practice and an exper ienced eye enable them with a stroke of the knife to divide a yard of butter in halves or quarters with alaaost math ematical exactness.

The University people are the chief buyers of this curiously shaped article In addition to being faraf d for its par ity and sweetness Cambridge " yard butter " is eminently adapted for serv ing out to the University students in the daily commons cut in conveniently sized pieces, and accompanied by a loaf of the best wheaten bread, a stated portion is sent round every morning to the rooms of the undergraduates for use at the daily breakfast and (c».

Tracking Bees

0! all tbe trades that rrqiire quick sight and patience the calling of the Hee tracker is not the least exaction It would eeem more like amusement than a serious business, but in Texas, California, and in parts of Mexico boya are trained to it from ihe time they can ride a bronco, the knack of it being hooded down from father to son. It is in Bee country, Texas, that tbe industry flourishes most. There are jome of the greatest apiaries of the w.oi-idi farms and ranches devoted to the production of honey, which is shipped to the East, and even stcros* the ocean.

And honey raising there hm come to be-a fine arfe. Dealer* will sell yoo your choice of wild elorer, cotton blossom, horse mint,, and other br/jnds, and each you will fiad has a distinct flavour. This comes from tb.e fact that the bees.in, each hive or cluster of hlve,s will follow certain weft defined tastes,, and feed only on % certain fiower.

Out of this has sprang the work of the bee tracker. He is always & full blooded Mexican, who works in the summer and rests in the winter, living of! the good fees he gets in hia work. He always appears at the apiaries at the beginning of the hooey tnaking season, when the owners wisli to learn of what variety their product is? to be, bo that they can make their contracts. The tracker has a hardy little plains mustang that k afraid of no test of speed or strength, aod mounttd on this Ite begins a tour of the hives. He will go to one and patiently wait until a bee emerges that is so marked as to make it somewhat different from its fellows. When the bee fles away he follows, over ditcheß and fences, through gardens and groves, sometimes on a merry chase For miles, around and about tmtil at length the bee settles for feeding.

Other bees may cross its path, or alight by its side oa the root©, pre senting a pretty problem for the 11 shadow," but the owners of the apiariea declare that the trackers sel dom, if over, make a mistake. When the bee finally reaches its feeding ground ihe tracker notes the flower it chooses, and; then rides back and labels the hive, keeping op this work until he has given his employer an accurate idea of the varieties of honey to expect.
