..NIanners MakYth Man."

William of Wykeham, u fourteenth cen
fury bishop of the see of Winchester, was
not only great clergyman and a great
statesman, but one of the greatest builders
of the middle ages. He was the founder
of Winchester college, which is the oldest
of all tho English public schools. He was
the chief architect of the cathedral of Win
chester and when the king wanted new
wing on his castle at Windsor he ordered
Wykeham to build it. Wykeham was so
proud Of his work that he chiseled on 1t,
"Hoc fecit Wykeham" (Wykeham made
this). At this the king was very angry,
for he thought he had built the castle him
self, and Wykeham would perhaps have
lost his head If he had not kept his wits
about him. He explained that it was his
greatest glory to be the builder of his
kings palace, and that the inscription
should read, "This was the making of
Wykeham. The translation was clever
enough, and, though the king was proba-
bly, not deceived, Wykeham kept his head
on his shoulders. Perhaps the king would
have been sorry to lose so valuable man.
At any rate you can see the inscription to-
day from the north terrace, and the Incl
dent throws no little light on the sincerity
of the motto on the Winchester arms,
manners Makyth Man" - Harper's

POSToFFce KINKS.
OFT Disputed Points Call For Ruling
Which the Public seldom Sees.

In the administration of every postofllce
there are bound To arise differences be-
tween the authorities and the public which

justment There rules are made which
will fit the grievances, but the public gem
orally knows little about these minor reg

noted from time 10 time some of the odd
and least understood of the newer rules,

sure of the commanding officer, the post
age, but al single rates only, will be col
lectod on delivery.
It's queer, but if there is postage due on
letter the postmaster cannot lawfully
accept postage stamps in payment The
only legal tender in such II case is money.
1t is possible that the New York post
office authorities have overlooked that gen.
eral rule for postmasters in the conduct OF
their offices which says: at is important
that mail matter BIO postmarked in per-
feet manner so that each letter and figure
of the stamp may be distinct A failure
on the part of the postmaster to postmark
mail legibly not only reflects upon the
management OF his office, but renders him
liable to be charged with delays which
have not actually occurred at his Office. "
Not only are postmasters forbidden to
furnish lists Of persons receiving mail
from their postoflices, but the wives and
families Of the postmaster are also forbid
den to tell what the head of the family
may have mentioned. AS to the mem bers
of his family, the enforcement of the pro-
hibition is left with the postmaster. -New

Music In Our Public Schools.

An eminent choir leader, in talking OF
church music the other day, remarked that
if music were intelligently taught in our
public schools there would be less bungling
among singers and less valuable time
wasted when the more advanced lessons
became necessary There is little use.
he continued, lin any singer wasting MS
ar her time,in expensive instruction while
there is any flaw in the reading or rudi-
ments A career based ON such lines rs I'm
nm Hill undertaking from tho start. DO
fore the ambitious singer attempts any
thing i'm the musical line there should be
considerable proficiency in reading ana
familiarity with all of the preliminary
work. and this may I've learned of any
singing master IN IA reasonable time ana
at "a small cost.
All public schools should teach the eIe-
ments of music and that with thorough
ness. It should be as much a matter OF
course for the pupil to know his or her
notes and to be expert i'm scales and chords
"a 20 know the letters of the alphabet and
how to spell baker such knowieuge
would in due course of time lead the pupil
who had great natural gifts for music 10

KITES PUZZLED BY KITES.
Other Big Birds Too, Affected In the
Same Way.

Many amusing experiences have been
the lot of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific purposes
Large birds are always interested in the
strange devices floating in the air and can
not quite make cut what they are. Prompt
ed by sharp curiosity, they hover around
the floating kite and subject themselves to
the danger of becoming entangled in the
silken string and being dragged down to
earth.
No bird, however, has ever alighted on
a kite or attacked one. While one scientist
was flying "a train of five kites couple of
years ago large silver tipped eagle came
suddenly out of the higher air and swooped
round and round the first kite, looking
against the sunset sky like IA huge silver
ball AS the train of kites was pulled in
the eagle followed, visiting one kite and
then another, seeming uncertain just what
to do In a few minutes, when he seemed
to have decided that they were not good to
eat and he knew nothing about them any
way, he Indignantly flew off and was lost
TO view
Another experience was had with stork
that came from the New Jersey side of the
Hudson and flew straight for the queer
object in the air. He apparently had mado
up his mind TO 60 straight through it, but
changed and dived underneath. He went
around and above it, and through glass
il could be seen that he cooked his eye at
the intruder in a most comical manner
He started away few hundred feet,
changed his mind and came sweeping
back. He finally reluctantly went away,
mystified over this queer addition to the
inhabitants of the air.
While kites were high in the air one
March nocks of geese flying in the V
wedge flew over They invariably stopped,
broke up and lowered about the queer OBJ
ject and at last flew away While the
larger birds all come from heights above
the kites, the small birds of the air will
alight on the string holding the kite and
sway to and fro.-Chicago News

BEAU BRUMM EL.
His Rise and Fall and the Decay of Dan
dyism.


How came it that man of low birth,
of only moderate fortune and of no special
ability was able to conquer London and
TO hold his conquest so longS Brummel
was not the mere within of a few years,
the comet of "a season. He was an absolute
king from his first appearance in London
society in 1899 till the fatal day in 1914 on
which he ordered in the chicken from
Walters for dinner, went to the opera
and at the door got. into post cbaise
drove to Dover and left England for good
We believe the explanation is to be found
in the fact that he had early imbibed the
spirit if not the words of the motto which
Danton borrowed from Bacon. BOLD
ness, holiness and again boldness" YVES
Brummel's motto. Whether in his say
ings, his actions or his dress, Brummel
always did the bold thing.
Another maxim on which Brummel
acted was that which recognizes the fact
that the majority of both men and women
like to be trampled on. Brummel early
realized the value of this MAXIM and,
like Swift and Beau Nash in their several
spheres he scored great social success by
its use. Society came in crowds to be
trampled upon and kicked. So much, in
Decd did they like the process that when
Brummel left England they ran over to
Calais to enjoy the much loved iniliction.
And Brummel had the good sense to give
them what they wanted. The naughty
debtor in exile was just as rude and just
as arbitrary as the sovereign CaEdy. Thus,
though we may despise Brummel and
congratulate ourselves on the fact that we
have done with him as an institution, we
cannot deny that the man knew human
nature profoundly. No doubt he put his
knowledge to selfish, ignoble and paltry
ends Still, person who has the courage
to seize the wild ass, society, by the mane,
jump on it's back and ride it where and
how he will deserves his need of wonder
and admiration.-London Spectator.

February l3. "Other Peoples Money. 3"
the comedy success will be presented.
This comedy is from the pen of the
brilliant young dramatist, Edward
Owings Towne. The piece is in three
acts, and is a comedy of exceptional
merit, bright and witty in its lines,
which, while digniied and clean, are at
the same time mirth-provoking and
humorous. The situations are all we'll
reached, the plot worked to an exceed
ingly clever denouement The story is
most iaughable, acquainting us With a
private secretary who elopes with his
millionaire employers daughter. who
the parents desire to have welded to
another, rich man. but an exceedingly
distasteful old hog buyer. The plan of
the elopement is carried out at the in
stigalion of the girls father. who fails
to discover that his daughter is to be
the heroine of the romance until all is
over.
