Ding will appear in ms native costumte and sing few solos, both. In Chinese and in English. He haB an excellent second bass voice which is surprising for a Chinaman. This is Ding's second season on the gtee club. Last year he and his part ner, William Lai, made such a hit In the concert at Portland, that a repre sentative of th Orpheum otTered the two of them the salary of $200 a week, if they would go on the Or phfium circuit.

Ding's cir cumstances are somewhat different from hlB fellnw Ohlnou elml.nta na he was born and raissd In PortlandJ Oregon. In fact, he ftas never et foot in the Flower-v 'Klnertnm Unnravon he has an intense loyalty to China, and expects to go there as soon as he finishes his collegiate course. Al though raised In Omgon, Mr. Ding never spoke the English language un-j til he iwa fourteen years old, as his' family used the Chinese entirely at home, and 1I hfs jplaymates were of Ms race. On account of this lack of early training, he finds nglish to be bis hardest course. . HAIR HINTS. Worthy the Attention of People Who Wish to PreWrre the Hair.

Inside Tttair Huge Neata, The world la Indebted to the Chi nese for the discovery of the virtue of the silkworm. ; Its product was Un known In Rome until the time of Ju lius Caesar, and so costly waa the ma terial that even the Emperor AureUaa refused a drees, of this lustrous fabric; to his empress. . Now It ,1s nurtured In almost every country, and Its prod'! acts are within the reach of all. M Besides the several domesticated species, there Is a . wild silkworm found in . Central America which weaves a baglike structure two feet la depth that hangs, from the trees. At a distance the nest resembles a hnge matted cobweb. The ; insect makes no cocoon, but weaves the silk In layers and skeins around the in Side of the nest' From Tegucigalpa there were sent to England some years ago about six pounds of this silk, There it was made Into handkerchiefs not easily detected from common silk of equal strength and delicate texture There Is a curious silk producing spider in Central America,' the nrana de soda, which may be seen hurrying along- with a load of fine silk on its back, from which trail numerous del icate filaments.
