in New Orleans for several months
past was brought home this morning
and taken to his residence In West
Austin. The doctor is very feeble and

being kept quiet and free from all dis-
turbance that he will rally and recov-
er in very short order. He arrived
on tihe early train from Houston this
morning accompanied by bls two

EASTER-TIDE.
Oh rare as the splendor of lilies
And sweet as the violet’s breath
Comes the jubilant morning of Eas-
ter
A triumph of life over death;
For fresh from the earth’s quickened
bosom
Full baskets of flowers we bring
And scatter their satin soft petals
To carpet a path for our King.
We have groped through the twilight
of sorrow
Have tasted the Marah of fears;
But lo! in the gray of the dawning
Breaks the hope of our long silent
years.
And the loved and the lost we thought
perished
Who vanished afar in the night.
Will return in the beauty of spring
time
To beam on our rapturous sight.
Sweet Easter-tide pledges their com-
ing
Serene beyond trouble and toil.
As the lily upsprings in its freshness
From the warm throbbing heart of
the soil
And after all partings reunion.
And after all wanderings home;
Oh. here is the balm of our heartache.
As up to our Easter we come!
In the countless green blades of the
■meadow.
The Sheen of the daffodil’s gold
In the tremulous blue on the moun-
tains.
The opaline mist on the wold.
In the tinkle of brocks through the
pasture.
The river’s strong sweep to the sea.
Are signs of the day that is 'hasting
In gladness to you and to me.
So dawn in thy splendor >of lilies.
Thy fluttering violet breath
O jubilant morning of Easter
Thou triumph of life over death!
For fresh from the earth's quickened
bosom
Full baskets of flowers we bring.
And scatter thpir satjn soft petals
To carpet a path for our king.

COMPOSING AN OPERA.
Sir Arthur Sullivan Explains How
It Is Done.
A Work Requiring Great Care and
More Patience — Preparing the
Composition tor Presenta-
tion to the Public.
The idea that an opera is conceived
and born in a flash of inspiration and
then recorded in another flash is as far
from the truth according to Sir Arthur
Seymour Sullivan the English com-
poser as the notion of a coal miner sit-
ting down at the mouth of a mine ex-
pecting the coal to come bubbling up.
The very melodies in his work which
appear most spontaneous are “the re-
sult of particularly hard work and of
constant recasting.”
In the Strand Magazine Sir Arthur
tells how his operas arc made ready for
public rendering after he has “sketched
out the creative portion:”
“The original jottings are quite
rough and would probably mean very
little to anyone else though they mean
so much to me. After I hare finished
the opera in this way the creative part
of my work is completed; but then
comes the orchestration which of
course is a very essential part of the
whole matter and entails very severe
manual labor. The manual labor of
writing music is certainly exceedingly
great. Apart from getting into the
swing of composition itself it is often
an hour before I get my hand steady
and shape the notes properly and quick-
ly. This is no new development. It has
always been so but then when I do
begin I work very rapidly. But while
speaking of the severe manual labor
which is entailed in the writing of mu-
sic you must remember that a piece of
music which will take only two min-
utes in actual performance—quick time
—may necessitate four or five days’
hard work in the mere manual labor of
orchestration apart from the original
composition.
“The literary man can avoid manual
labor in a number of ways but you can-
not dictate musical notation to a sec-
SIR ARTHUR SULLIVAN.
(Composer of "Pinafore” "The Mikado”
and Other Popular Operas.)
retary. Every note must be written in
your own hand —there is no other way
of getting it done; and so you see every
opera means 400 or 500 folio pages of
music every crochet and quaver of
which has to be written out by the com-
poser. Then of course your ideas are
pages and pages ahead of your poor
hard-working fingers.
“When the ‘sketch’ is completed
which means writing rewriting and al-
terations of every kind the work is
drawn out in so-called ‘skeleton score'
—that is with all the vocal parts and
rests for symphonies etc. complete
but without a note of accompaniment
or instrumental work of any kind aV
though I have all that in my mind.
“Then the voice parts are written out
by the copyist and the rehearsals be-
gin; the composer or in his absence
the accompanist of the theater vamp-
ing an accompaniment. It is not until
the music has been thoroughly learni
and the rehearsals on the stage—with
action business and so on —are well
advanced that I begin the work of or-
chestration.
“When that is finished the band parts
are copied two or three rehearsals oi
the orchestra are held then orchestra
and voices without any stage business
or action; and. finally three or four full
rehearsals of the complete work on the
stage are enough to prepare the work
for presentation to the public.”
Only Woman Civil Bnaincer.
Marion S. Parker according to the
Boston Globe enjoys the unique dis-
tinction of being the only practical
woman civil engineer in this country.
She is a slight young girl apparently
about 20 years of age and has a woman-
ly gracious manner that makes her
very charming. Miss Parker seems
quite unconscious of the fact that her
peculiar position as the one woman in
her profession makes her interesting
At present Miss Parker is engaged and
absorbed in work on model tenements.
For eight and sometimes nine hours a
day her brain is busy with confusing
problems on strength and resistance 0!
material and a bewildering complexity
of girders trusses bolts screws and
rivets. Just to know what these things
ore would drive a woman with an “un-
mathematical brain” well-nigh crazy.
Odd Custom In China.
A stranger on walking' through the
streets of China for the first time is
puzzled among other things by the ap-
pearance of jarsjn various positions on
the roofs of the houses. A jar placed
with its bottom end up toward the
street indicates that the daughter of
the house is not yet of age to marry.
As sobn as she has developed into a mar-
riageable maiden .the jar is turned with
its mouth to the street. When the
young lady gets married the jar is re-
moved altogether.
I.argMt Swordfish Known.
The largest swordfish known was
caught in the China sea. It was 30 feet
long and weighed 2070 pounds.
