A Beautiful Charity.

In a large alcove of the drawing
room of the Hull House social settle
ment of Chicago is a little circulating
loan exhibit of choice pictures, which
have gladdened the eyes of many
weary sufferers in barren homes. 1t
might we'll be called the children's
bedside exhibit, for such, in fact, 1t Is.
Only one picture is placed in a sick
room at one time; but the visiting res
ident is careful to keep these superb
Photographic reproductions Of fine
paintings in brisk circulation, so that
the recovery Of the small neighbor
must be rapid or large portion OF
the collection will find its way to his
bedside.-Forrest Crissey in Woman's
Home Companion.

WHY?

Why is experience unable to teach
fools?
Why are SO many titled marriages
rank failures?
Why doesn't a grindstone sharpen
things to turn?
Why does hog never give anything
away when 1t squeals?
Why does the charity that begins ali
home so often end there?
Why shouldn't the trunk lines carry,
more baggage than other lines?
Why does the man with pie appe-.
tite seldom have pie stomach?
Why isn't the man who Is in no hur.
ry for his money preferred creditort
Why Is the woman seldom sincere,
who tells another woman that she H.
pretty?--Daily News

Electric Treatment from Handlebars.

The cyclist can now take a course Of
electric treatment on his machine, says
Invention. A new handlebar has been
brought out which has metallic grips
connected with a small generator
mounted on one of the wheels. IN
another form of the same device shoes
are provided with contact plates. If
the force of the current depends upon
the speed the wheels are rotating, this
may be satisfactory device to dis

MUSICAL WHEELING.

The Philharmonic Quartet gave an ex-
ceptionally pleasing concert to q splen-
did audience last night. The usual
Philharmonic crowd was increased by
many who never had taken advantage
OF the privileged pleasure. There are
but three more concerts in the series.
and q recognition OF the Quartet should
be shown in large turn outs at each of
the coming ones, thereby showing that
another season might be profitably es-
sayed. 81
~ OF the numbers performed last even
ing each is worthy of particular men,
ton. The violin solo, "Legende". (Wie-
nlawskD, by Professor Edward Blu
menberg. was beautifully interpreted,
and It's enthusiastic reception was re-
warded with an encore number just as
artistically rendered.
The Quartet proper was down for two
selections, "Gavotte." by Mattiole, a
modern composer, and Haydn opus
"a, No. 3 &c minor). This latter per-
Torrance was magnificenti in all Of its
four movements, and altogether was
one of the very. best of many good
Haydn interpretations given through
the course.
: By the ways a Haydn celebration is
now in preparation by the Philharmonic
and will be made the occasion OF an ex-
ceptional musical evening In this city,
after the manner OF the Beethoven
night, last December.
The Beethoven, selection given yester-
day was new to the audience, and was
one written for violin, viola and cello.
1t Is an interesting composition In itself,
and the work of Professor Schockey.
Professor Blumenbers and Mr.. Fred
Meyer conveyed most Intelligent idea
of it. The applause which greeted its
end proved that the attention of the au-
dlence had been riveted untiringly
throughout the evening, making the
twenty-n!nth concert Of the Philhar-
monte club most enjoyable from every
point of view.
