THE LABOR WORLD

ralie, leaping with her, prone with her,
swung by name or tail with her. It was
not only the ravishment Of her delirious
feats, nor her cream colored horse Of
fairy breed, long tailed, roe footed-an
enchanted prince surely, if ever there
was one-it was her more than mortal
beauty->iisplayed, too, under condi-
tions never vouchsafed to us before
that held US spellbound.
What princess had arms so dazzling
ly white, or went delicately clothed in
such pink and spangles? Hitherto we
had known the outward woman as but

legless, punched here, CONSTRUCTED there,
slow of movement and given to depre-
eating, lusty action Of limb Here was
a revelation. From henceforth our i'm.
aginations would have to be revised and
corrected up to date. In one of those
swift rushes the mind makes in high
strung moments saw myself and Co.

A German Dog.

The Germans have an odd character, a
certain baron, who is made responsible for
many absurd and ludicr0us things
Whenever anything particularly striped or
whimsical happens, it is straightway at
tributed to the baron. Consequently many
amusing stories are related of the baron
Just as in this country all kinds of mis-
takes have been heaped upon the shoulders
of the late MIR. Stetson, the theatrical man.
At one time the baron went to Venice and
seeing the pigeons on st. Mark paused in
wonder and began to count them. He w;.s
getting on nicely with his calculation,

A Great Brandy Drinker.


II have seen the statement that no
man could drink half gallon Of brandy
q day for more than very short time,
said John L. Smith of Linden, Va,
"but there is man living in the town
I reside in who has never missed drink
ing that much brandy in day for 10
years. Hi. name is John Hudnal1, ard
he owns a brandy djstillery near Linde.
He has used liquor as beverage since
early youth, and for the past 30 years
has consumed half a gallon Of brandy q
day. He is not an inebrlate by any
means, not becoming intoxicated by l. 20
brandy. He is. hale and hearty and
stands well in the community where he
lives as business man. No explanation
can be given Of his remarkable power
Of withstanding the effects of liquor,
but no one who knows him doubts tire
statement as to his having taken +''e
amount have said. It has not impaired
his digestion in the slightest degree, as
it is usually claimed it will do. 49,

School Improvement.

In the Federated Clubs of Illinois the
women are working earnestly to i'm
prove the public schools of the state
With this aim they take up different
phases of school work, in the first place
visiting the schools not as critics but as
learners, so as to cooperate with school,
teachers in securing improvements that
are needed. Certain members study the
hygienic conditions Of the schools; others
make it their duty to watch all schc i
legislation and to learn something OF
the value of the best new methods OF
education.
When using medicine droppers, the
ordinary glass tube with a rubber bulb
fitted on, it is we'll to remember that 60
DROPS make one teaspoOnful.
Salt is a good barometer: When it is

CONSULTING THE CLOCK.

CONSOlI ING ne O1OON.
Familiar Faces That Are Seldom Over
looked by New Workers..
One of the popular habits Of the peo-
pie of New York city is to consult the
clock almost on every occasion when an
opportunity is presented. 1t matters lit
tie whether any special need requires
that consultation or not, the clock will
thus be consulted. Especially is this the
case if particular clock has the repu-
tation of being good timekeeper. So
we'll is this known by many storekeep-
ers that they will place clocks in their
stores so situated as to be easily seen by
persons who may be passing along the
adjacent sidewalk. If the clock has a
good reputation, and the pedestrian Is
Fortunate enough to carry watch,
comparison is $9lmcst sure to be made.
Many times clock with good repu-
tation placed in the back part Of store
becomes protection thereof, especially
at night, if near it is located light
strong enough to illuminate it's face and
show the time. A policeman told re-
porter the other day that good clock
thus situated is better than private
watcbman for jewelry store, as every
5elated passerby is likely to look through
the store to see what time it is, and
would be almost certain to notice any,
thing unusual in the appearance Of the
place. It therefore becomes Indirectly
silent watchman guarding the premises
against the depredations of burglars and
makes the pedestrians, as it were, as
eistants in the work.
Church clocks have always had q
large number of patrons in the work OF
consultation, and nothing seems to be SO
annoying as to find such clock inac-
tive. When an event Of this character
occurs, especially if the church is located
on or near a busy thoroughfare, the
fact of the clock being stopped, or that
some defect appears to exist, is often
made the subject of notice in the daily
papers. Especially was this the case
when the steeple Of old St. Paul's was
recently undergoing renovation, and it
was joy to many on noticing that the
newly gilded hands of the clock were
again travelling along their accustomed
circuit and the deep toned bell was
ready to strike the hour once more.-

RHYTHM OF NIAGARA's ROAR.

RHYTHM OF NIAGARA's ROAR.
Musical Notes Heard In the Great Water
falls Oratorio.
Eugene Thayer, the we'll known organ
list, has published an analysis of the music
of Niagara falls In an article in Trinity
Record he says:
'lt had ever been my belief that Mag
ara had not been heard as it should be-
and in this belief turned my steps hither-
ward. What did hear? The roar of Nj
agara? l heard nothing but a perfectly
constructed musical tone, clear, definite
and unapproaohable in it's ma ajestio perfec-
Hon, complete series Of tones, all uniting
In one grand and noble unison, as in the
organ"
Mr. Thayer then describes at some
length the compound nature of given
tone and illustrates the overtones or par
tials of the lowest @ of the 80 foot pipe Of
the organ. Then he continues:
"I had long had a suspicion that I
should hear all this at Niagara when her
wonderful voice Aeould first greet my ears.
1t was just as had supposed. How should
I prove all thisf My first step was to visit
the beautiful Iris island, otherwise known
as Goat island. MY next step was to stand
on Luna island, above the central fall and
on the west side of the American fall
proper. l went on the extreme eastern
side of the island in order to get the full
force of the larger fall and sat among the
rapids Next went to the Three Sisters
island
"With more or less variation of pitch at
these and many other points, l heard
everywhere the notes of the chord Of 6,
only four octaves lower.
II arrived at my conclusion both theo-
retically and practically. Let me first call
attention to the third and fourth notes. d
and G.
''The ground note, G, was SO deep, so
grand, so mighty, thatI never could realize
it or take it into my thought or hearing,
but these two tones, only four octaves
lower, were everywhere, with power
which made itself felt as we'll as heard.
"But; it will be replied, these two notes
were too slow to be detected by the sense
of hearing. How did I determine their
pitch?
II first caught the harmonic notes above
them that were definite in pitch, and then,
counting the number of vibrations of these
lower two notes, easily determined their
distance below.
"And here comes curious feature
which proves that Niagara gives tone
and not roar. The seventh note, the
interval of the tenth, was of power and
olearness entirely out Of proportion to the
harmonics as usually heard in the organ.
"Were the tone of Niagara mere noise
this seventh note would be either weak or
confused or absent altogether.
"What is Niagara's rhythmP Its beat is
Just once per second. Here is our unit OF
time-the chronometer Of God"
