''Yankee Doodle"

The tune of Yankee Doodle hns had
seven or eight treatises written upon it
in the last 80 years, ascribing it to vari-
GUS dates and. origins, even back to Tha
Netherlands and the days of Cromwell
and the Charleses. DR.. George Grove Of
London, author Of the Dictionary Of
Music and Musicians" has investigated
thoroughly the various musical libraries
and the British museum in England.
finding no traces of it whatever, thus ex-
ploding all the mystical, traditional and
apochryphal accounts thereof.
But "Yankee Doodle" had an origin
and has a history. It was written by
DR.. Richard Schuchburg, whose COM
mission dates 1887, in the French apd
Indian war of 1755 under General JET
frey Amherst and was intended as a
''take off, on the ''rag, tag and bebtail'
recruits of the colonies that came into
the army. It t'took" so well. however,
that the Americans have ever adoptedkit
and would not part with it for anything.
The first words,

were in the Boston Journal in 1868, and
the first record of the tune is in Arnold's
1.-TWO to One," 1880, so that Yankee
Doodle" although written by British
surgeon, is really American.-Boston

Prince of Detectives.

VidooQ, the great French detective,
was born in ArTas ~in 1775. He began
life as baker and early became the ter
ror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was notorious thief, and
after many disgraceful adventures he en-
listed in the army. In 1898. he returned
to Paris with some money. which, how
ever, he soon squandered. Next he was
sentenced at Lille to eight years. hard
labor for Argery, but repeatedly escaped,
and in 1908 he became connected with
the Paris police Us detective.
His previous career enabled him to
render important services, and he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade,
chiefly composed of reprieved convicts,
which purged Paris of the many danger
GUS classes. In 1918 he received = full
pardon, and his connections with this
service lasted until about 1885,. when he
settled at St. Mande as paper manu-
facturer. Soon after the revolution Of
1880 he became political detective, but
with little, success. In 1848 he was again
employed under the republican govern
ment, but he died penniless in 1885,

early American Scu!ptors.


It is worthy of special notice that when
Rush began to Model in clsy not one Of
the artists who have given celebrity to
our native sculpture had seen the light
Of day. Frazer was not born until 1890,
nor Ezekiel Augur of New Haven until
1901. The latter was originally in the
grocery trade, but failing in that took
up modelling and wood carving without
any guide except his natural instincts;
but like the majority Of our early sculp-
tors, with the exception of Rush, his cf-
forts are interesting only as evidence Of
what talent entirely unokstructcd can
accomplish.
It was not until 1905, long after Cop
ley, West, Malbone. Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated oJlr capacity for pic
torial art. that Hiram Powers was born.
The same year Horatio Greenough first
Gaw the light of day. In the remote
wilds of Kentucky Hart was brought
into this world in 1910, and Clevenser.
Crawford and Mills followed in 1912,
1873 and 1915. Thus we see that, with
out hereditary genius Or predecessors
from whom to copy, Rush achieved his
artistic results, and succeeded in Win
ming for himself European renown
which made him the equal of some Of
the leading foreign carvers and sculptoiSs
of his age, and at the same time we'll
earned tho title of father Of American
tculptnre. e."-Lippincott's

Strange fancies have taken hold of
some men regarding the manner in which
their bodies were to be disposed of after
death and the ceremonies to be observed
at their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles V had the
curious idea Of celebrating his own fu-
neral. Shortly before his death he caused
tomb to be made in the chapel of the
monastery of Estremadura, to which he
had retired after sis abdication, and Oh
its completion he was carried to it as
though dead. Placed in a cokfin and ac-
conrpanied by a procession. he was borne
along, while chants were sung, prayers
said and tears shed. After the solemn
farce was over he was left aloae in the
chapel, where he remained a short time
before rising out of the coffin.-London

Economy In Foot Wear.

Economy In Foot Wear
The neatest and most economical pos
Eble foot wear is a low cut shoe of q
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
to match each dress. This style of foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
will retain the odors of the feet with the.
neatest of persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks the apparent size of large
foot and forms very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front of
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
ton. Caters, upon the other hand, can
be changed as soon as defaced and worn
with the same boot. Many pretty CATERS
are possible for different occasions and
styles of dress.-Jenness Miller Monthly.

There is lobster farm, or pound. AZ ~
Is called. 12 acres in extent at Southport,
Me. This pound is the most successful
on the coast, whence 1000, 900 Holsters
are shipped each year. The pound il
formed by building solid dam across q
t;dewater cove. This dam does not quite
rise to high water mark. but across the
top is placed a.fence of i----:-. s..tas, per-

VIXEN tie fishermen bring the Holsters
to the pound, the fish," as they are
called, are Loistea othe dam, measured.s
and tkoce which are more than 10i
inches long, the legal limit arc thrown in.
It lobster is clever, his life in the pound
may he long and full of joy. If he is
stupid, he will be f:shed, out with drag
seine and packed in barrel, with piece
of ice for pillow, and sent to Boston.
The seine is made of stout twine and is
weighted at the bottom with heavy
chain. Along the top is row of cor.zs,
which sustain the weight of the seino
while the chain drags on the bottom Of
the pound.
A single cast Of this seine will bring
up Holsters enough to fill II barrels. The
chain as it sweeps along the bottom stirs
up the Holsters. which Immediately shoot
backward into the slack twine. In TAX

Tho Cat In Ancient Times.

The cat was so very highly regarded in
England ut one time, both as rat and
mouse catcher. and as an ornament to-
society, that we find the following salu-
tary law passed by one of the princes
Of Wales:
IF any one steal or kill Cat that
guards the Princes Granery, he is to
forfeit a mich Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or. as much Wheat as, when
poured upon tho cat suspended from its
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form a heap high enought to cover
the tip of the former" ~
Though the Welsh had a high opinion
of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had q
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. 1t was Il crime to kill them,
and when they died they receiveda a pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved off their eyebrows AL
token of sorrow. The most prominent
cats We're upon death embalmedi in drugs
and spices, and cat mum1nies have been
found side by side with those Of kings.
When Ca,nbyses, the Persian, attacked
the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead of shields. When the host ad-
vanced, the Egyptians retired in confu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives Of
vast numbers of cats. And so the city
was taken easily and without the.loss Of
blood or of cat. It cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.

Tn. zss.h..i4 sense In A.ru.,s.

Animals possess in an appreciable man
ner certain tastes indicating an elemen-
tary sense Of the beautiful. This sense
is not present in all animals, and these
who do possess it manifest it in different
degrees. But it is sufficient to know that
its existence can he recognized. Birds
are Particularly gifted in this manner.

are besides other birds who show this
aesthetic sense in singular manner.
One of these is the baya. He has q
passion for brilliant and variagateG o3-
jects, and lie has habit Of ornamenting
the entrance to his nest. which is built
with infinite art and elegance, with a
variety of objects, gathered by bits from
all quarters, which happen to strike his
fancy. Among them are brilliantly COL
ored feathers of other birds, bright bits
of shells, bits of stuffs, and the bird
struts about in the midst of all this with
evident pleasure.
Insects also possess a marked aesthetic
sense. They prefer certain colors, and
the plants which depend upon them
for fertilization show an entirely differ
ent variety of colors from those of plants
whose fertilization is affected by means
of tho wind. Musical sounds also affect
different animals in q marked manner.
They have their preferences and their
antipathies.-Review Ct ReSiews.

Cinderella and Her Slipper.

Yes, I know you are saying to your
self, "That headline would have looked
and sounded:better had it been NCinder-
ella and the Glass SlippeM'" but the
writer has been making critical study
of this most interesting nnrsery story
and finds that the famous "glass" slip
per properly has no place in it. The
''glass" slipper is really the ''furt, !" ''cloth'
or 'felt" slipper, the word -'glass" hav
ing been substituted through strange
mistranslation of the story. In the orig
inal it was written pantoufe en- vair,
which, being translated, would be ''the
fur slipper" The translator, however,
wrote it as if it had been pantoufle en-
verre. making the ''little' cinder girls

must be admitted, would be one quite
appropriate to fairy.-st. Louis Re

Why Fish Should BE Cared For.

Migratory fish are hatched and partly
matured in fresh water. They feed and
grow in the sea, but they are. never
caught there, SO that their protection
and preservation should be in the hands
of those who are SO deeply interested in
making them q salable commodity. Be-
sides all this there must be some consid-
Grafton for the sportsman, who without
question spends in the neighborhood in
which he fishes 10 times as much money
as all the fish he catches, if sold, would
fetch.-Fishing Gazette.

it decreased he was reaping a golden
