One Of the best Greek scholars in
New York is a guard on the Sixth
Avenue Elevated road. Not long ago
a famous professor in one of our lead
ing universities published a volume on
certain features Of the ancient Grecian
dialects, of interest only TO scholars.
The L guard referred to above wrote to
a New York newspaper, pointing out
several errors made by the professor.

Tepid Baths
The remedial use of warm baths has
come down from ancient times. The
water generally contained medicinal
constituents i'm natural solution, but
the relief. in many cases, was doubtless
due solely, or mainly, to the temper
allure. The effect of hot flannels or
warm poultices in relieving internal in
Illumination and pain is familiar TO most
families.
For iniamed and painful eyes, moth
ing is so good as hot water, applied
with a wooden cloth. Equal benefit il
derived from such an application in
many forms Of headache. The best
thing to do with a sprained ankle is TO
immerse the foot in water as hot as can
be borne. \ crushed foot or hand

While the child was immersed in this,
its head was kept cool with cloths

ten or fifteen minutes the child quieted
down, and on being taken from the
bath fell into a quiet, healthful sleep,

Just as we were about TO start from

about four years old entered the car.
The little girl. who was amusing her
self with a cent, soon fell fast asleep,

later the woman beckoned me e stop,
and shook the child gently to awaken
her, the cent fell TO the floor. Then

THE SINGERS THREE sHAwLs

"
How Henriette soDtag Became Connect
ed with the Berlin Theater.
When the theater was founded in
Berlin in 1924 the directors sought to
gain special talent for the young stage
in order to secure rich dividends.
Henriette Sontag, who was then
eighteen, was the rising meteor on the
artistic horizon. Two Of the directors
jOurneyed to Leipsic in order 10 induce
the artistic to sign a contract for several
years.
In Leipsic they met messengers from
other theatres. who surrounded the
lovely singer with the same appeal
After days of negotiation they made no
Roadway. A rich financier from Der
lin, tired of the delay, adopted meas
ures which could not fail to have the
desired effect upon the young and pref
ty but poor artistic.
He bought a beautiful shawl, and
presenting it TO the singer he pointed
to the pen 70 sign the contract
Never had Henriette Sontag possessed
so pretty an article Of apparel Com
pletely overcome by the splendOr of so
rich a gift, she turned 10 her sister
Nina and said. Nina, | am faint;
please sign"
So she was bound by a contract, and
formed the chief attraction for three
years not only Of the theater but Of the
city Of Berlin.
The receipts Of the theater were enor-
nous, yet several shareholders re-
preached the managers of the treasury
for making unnecessary expenditures,
and demanded, therefore, strict ac-
count for the use Of the money.
These expenditures were soon made
public, and it o came out in the
newspapers that the shawl which the
singer received in Leipsic was present
ed without the consent Of the share
holders.
The morning this fact was published
in the papers Fraulein Sontag sealed
up the valuable present, and, with true
womanly tact, sent il 10 the directors
of the theater.
Her messenger had scarcely entered
the assembly room when the news Of
the occurrence spread all over the city,
and in the evening Of the same day a
Turkish shawl lay on the singers toilet
table. II had been sent by the king
and was more valuable than the first
one.
Early the following day the fnancier
and director of the theater, who had
given her the shawl in Leipsic, was an
nounced, and as he presented her with
a tar costlier shawl he jokingly re-
preached the lovely Henriette for Civ
ing away his present and begged her
not 10 let this one share the same fate.
This present was from himself indepen-
dent of the shareholders.
Finally. by a unanimous decree, the
directors appeared in a body before the
public's ~favorite to restore the shawl in
question to its rightful wner .-Phila-

in New York, with a distinguished
company. among whom were Generals
Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Sherman and
Sheridan. At 10 o'clock, when the fes-
tivities were a their height, the old ad-
miral arose from the table and called
for his hat and coat. All We're sur
prised at his action and asked for an
explanation. He replied that he never
permitted enjoyment to interfere with
his health, spd that 10 o'clock was a
good hour for him to retire.
All present laughed heartily, ehaffed
him a little and begged him to remain.
He could not. however. be coaxed TO
remain. After bidding them good
