ABOUT WOMEN AND MUSIC.

Bach was very happy with his first
wife, and her influence in his music IL
marked. Beethoven's music was in
many cases directly inspired by women.
Mozart, Sphor and Weber were strong
ly influenced in their compositions by
their wives. Mendelssobn received his
strongest influence from his sister
Fanny, whose compositions reflect the
creative mind of her brother. Wagner's
second wife exerted a marked influence
on his writings.
The number of women composers il
very small, and the generally accepted
reason for this is that women lack the
creative quality. As executants they
develop more rapidly than men and
can interpret music readily. b In spite
Of this the influence OF women have ex-
erted on music history is great.

The e. principal says: 4The bill
as introduced in the Assembly left
the county commissioners precisely
the same power as before, namely:
The appointing Of two members of

Did he tell the truth? The bill as it
passed the Senate and as it was voted
upon and defeated in the Assembly
provided that the County Commls-
sioners should appoint but one mem
Der of the county board of education.
Which will you believe, the bill or
the ex-principal? The one is in cold
type before yon and the other is so
stepped in falsehood that it is impos-
sible for him to tell the truth.
When this bill came up in the A.

to adopt. The bill was then placed

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

& Good pasturage should not prevent
good feeding at the barn. There il at;
times too much dependence on the pas,
ture supply, but when an animal is a
producer, like the cow. grain is also inn
portant. Dry food will be relished at all
Eeasons, as variety is essential for di-
gestion and health.
To have choice pansies next year
plant the seed now, in cold frame, and
as soon as they are large enough thin
them out or transplant them, placing
the plants six inches apart. Protect
during the winter with covering or
mulch, keeping them in frame, and
set them out in the open air in the
spring.
It is not safe to grow crop in the
peach orchard, but growers have found
that when phosphates and potash are
applied to the land o crop of crimson
clover, seed down this month and
plowed under in the spring, will be an
advantage. The clover covers the
ground during the winter and provides
nitrogen in the spring when turned
under.
Warm, wet weather is favorable to
blight or rot, and every effort should
be made to destroy it or prevent its
spread. This is the season of the year
when the ground may contain spores of
fungus diseases for next years propa-
CATION, and the fruit grower can do
more effectual work now than he can at

The Servant Girl Riddle.

Here's a new answer to the servant
girl riddle. 1t has originated among the
housewives of Norway and Sweden, and
as it is of recent growth it remains to
be seen how it will succeed. 1t is a
scheme to make the maids remain in
their places, and it consists of the mis-
tresses paying into a general fund what
ever they can afford for every servant
that has remained with them for IL
months. The money is registered in the
servants name, so that when age over
takes her and she can no longer work
she has comfortable annuity to fall
back upon. In this way premium is
put upon girls continuing in one
place, and the staying quality" a
most lacking attribute of the average
servant, is fostered and developed. -

A Botanical Freak.

One of the curosties of nature Is known
as plant atol. There are but two or three
of these known to scientists. This atol Is
made up of circle of growing plants.
They are found floating on the top of ponds
or lakes They form hoop shaped figure
and are closely matted together at the
roots, which make sort of cup or basin,
to which more or less vegetable matter
falls or floats. There is "a sufficient amount
of nutriment in this to keep the plant
growing AS il increases, the roots become
longer and larger, and in time the plant
may anchor itself in the soil at the bottom
of the pond. These rings, after many years
of accumulation and growth make what
appear TO be small islands. 1t is the opin-
ion of certain scientists that islands may
have been formed i'm this manner. The
roots catch all floating vegetable or ami
NAL matter. Leaves collect and form mold,
and after awhile birds may drop plant or
tree seeds on the little pod that floats on
the top of the water. These take root and
further assist i'm the growth of the little
island. 1t may take centuries for the plant
to come to any size, but with nature n
thousand years are but as yesterday Now

A WOMAN'S NO.
To That Was Due the Attempted Assas-
sination of Alexander IL.

People were much surprised when the
name of BereZowski, the Pole who at
tempted the assassination of Gar Alexan-
der Ii during his visit TO Paris at the time
of the exhibition of 1867, was found figur-
ing on list of persons for whom an am
nesty was asked at IA recent sitting of the
chamber, for the mans existence had been
practically forgotten by the public, and
the great majority would probably have
replied if questioned on the subject that
he was dead. AS matter of fact Bere-
zowski has been languishing all these
years in New Caledonia. He has become
insane, so that his release would now be
of no earthly benefit TO him. This is n very
interesting case, and some information
given by the officials at the ministry of the
colonies is worth repeating. 1t is the old,
old story of "Cherchez Ia femme" Bere-
zowski, then barely 10 years of age, was a
workman in factory, when he fell des-
perately in love with the foreman's daugh-
ter His suit was refused at the very mo-
ment when the Emperor Alexander was
here, and, beside himself with passion and
disappointment, he resolved on suicide.
Then he bethought him that he might as
well sell his life dearly, and he seized the
opportunity of the cars presence in Paris
to attempt to kill him.
So If Berezowski had not been crossed
in love the shot would never have been
fired, and the political events which fol-
lowed might have taken very different
turn. The Pole has never given any trou-
BILE to his custodians in the remote colony.
He made himself useful, and his lot be-
came easier Besides money presents, his
fellow countrymen forwarded to him from
time to time letters and newspapers, but
he took little notice of them. Berezowski's
insanity Is of IA harmless kind. He imag-
ines that he has discovered the secret OF
perpetual motion. Now, with his long,
white locks and emaciated features, he
looks quite an old man, though he is nc
more than As years of age.-London Letter.

The Valuable COchiti Land Grant a Sub
ject of Litigation.

The Valuable Cochiti Land Grant n Sub
ject of Litigation.
The argument on what is known as
the Cochiti land grant case, involving
title to about SO, 600 acres of land in the
vicinity of Bland, N. NJ, was made re-
Gently in the United States supreme
court The main question at issue in the
case is the definition of the north bound
airy line. The government contends
that the boundary contemplated by the
terms of the grant is the Pueblo de
Cochit, while the contention of the
successors of the grantee is that this
north boundary is what is known as the
Pueblo Veijo or Old Pueblo. The orig
inal grant was made to Joel Parker
Whitney in 1928, and the litigation over
the north boundary has arisen since the
discovery of the valuable mineral de-
posits at Bland.
The court below rendered a decision in
favor of the government, cutting down
the grant by IA strip some ten miles wide,
embracing about 90, 600 acres and in
GLIDING the most valuable mines now
being operated in that vicinity. The
grantors have appealed to the supreme
court, and the government attorney
hopes to secure an affirmation of that
decision. Should the decision be affirm
ed, it will relieve these mineral lands OF
a cloud on the title. Louis Globe

D,medisn Francis Wilson's Experience In
= London jewelers. store.


Francis Wilson, the actor, despite the
fogtiish roles he assumes on the stage, en-
joys the reputation of being an accom-
plished gentleman of refined tastes and ex-
emplary habits, as well as an industrious
student and the possessor of one of the
finest libraries in the country. Whenever
he Is able t. escape from the exacting de-
mands of his profession, he Is usually TO
be found with his wife and children at his
luxurious home in New Rochelle. Occa-
sionally. however, he makes brief visit
to the ok. wori, from which he Is accus-
toned to return with collection of curios
and presents for his friends.
In the course of one of his visits to Lon
don he had an experience which has afford
ed his friends considerable amusement.
While walking along Regent street one day
with an old acquaintance he saw some dia-
monds displayed in the window of n jew
eler's shop. He looked at them critically
for several moments, then turning 10 his
companion he said:
Il have just received an unexpected
check for $500 and / don't think / can EN-
ploy IL TO better advantage than by getting
some diamonds for my wife. Let us go
in.
Wilson and his friend then entered the
shop. The proprietor presented himself
and asked what they desired.
You have tray of diamonds in the
window" said the little comedian. "Win
you let me see themY"
The stolid faced shopkeeper surveyed his
prospective customer from head to foot.
He saw sharp featured little man with
long nose and beadlike eyes. Despite the
fact that his face was clean shaven, myriads
of indomitable beard roots gave to his Wis
age that peculiar blush tint that Thespian
folks are wont to effect in their make up
"Do you want to buy or only to look al
themf" asked the suspicious Briton surlily
"That depends altogether upon how
they please me" retorted the comedian
II certainly will not purchase unless l an
first permitted to examine them"

''I've had that same trick played on IN
