Monte Carlo Story.

 The London Telegraph tells this Monte Carlo story; "A woman entered the sale while a prince whom she knew was winning in a sweeping style that srlmed destined to break the bank. I am so glad to see you here. prince, and in such luck, tool, she ex- claimed. Do tell me a lucky number; it is sure to win, for you know you are now fn the vein.

 strength of the Brooklyn Fridge.
 The recent discussion by engineers of the safety of the great Brooklyn bridge under the increased strain caused by the addition of trolley and elevated cars to it's moving load, has brought out some interesting facts about the huge structure. At present the total strain upon the cables is 13,974 tons, but their ultimate strength is 49,200 tons, so that the factor oi safety is 3.52. It would not be possi. ble to crowd enough moving load upon the bridge to break the cables. The immense anchorages of masonry 10 which the ends of the cables are fast ened have been moved forward by the pull cf the cables one-eighth of an inch in eight years. The natural life If the bridge is reckoned at 1000 years

 1 Science or Cheesemaklng.- are many branches of science that are in- trieate and very difficult to acquire and understood, and if there is one more difficult than another the manu- facture of cheese seems to be that one. When we consider the hidden power of rennet action, the active effect of fermentation and bacterial influences, the varied unknown conditions of milk as received at cheese factories and the intricate combinations that any or all of these form to effect the final re- suit, we see the many difficulties the cheesemaker must oyercome.-D.

ing Americans may soon own the greater
part of the islands, and will therefore soon
have great part of the population on their
estates educating them for future of de-
pendence and for political subserviency. At
present every native owns his own house
and his own little patch of land, and is
contented and happy. Let him continue
undisturbed in his humble possessions
The chief necessity of the island is good
schools, and we hope that the Americans
will not long withhold from us this long
desired boon. Comparatively few natives
have had the advantage of modern meth
DDS. AT present the educational facilities
are most meager and the methods of the
native schoolmasters, well as of the
Spanish priests. are most antiquated. Only
Spanish books have as rule been allowed,
and the whole course of colonial education
has had a theological bias. The ground
work of superstition, however-reared with
such infinite labor during the centuries of
Spanish priestcraft-is fast giving away.
The eyes of the natives have at last been
opened. They will no longer tolerate the
decisions of the past, but will eagerly en-
brace the doctrines of the new. Under
American dominion a glorious future awaits
the Filipino. He will for once be able to
hew out of the rock of opportunity the
statute of his own worth.

Six Months of Hard study Devoted to
UndoinE Faults.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
when Paderewski came to LeschetiZky,
in Vienna, some ten years ago, it was as a
concert performer who had already achiev-
ed success in Russia and mastered an eN-
tensive repertoire" writes Cleveland Moi
fet. "Leschetizky heard him play for a
while and then said:
"tYou have some very bad faults, but
YOU have talent. You have played too
MANY things, and nothing well enough.
Your wrist is hard and stiff. II you come
to ME you must forget for SIX months that
YOU have a repertoire. You must play
nothing but exercises for technique, six
hours day Of exercises, and nothing else
"Paderewski thought the matter over and
decided that he had the strength OF will
for this severe test, and put himself entire
ly in Leschetizky's hands. All day long for
six months this finished concert performer
worked away at the mechanics OF piano
playing, at exercises specially devised for
him by Leschetizky, and some devised by
himself with reference to pecularities of
his own hands. Every evening he took a
lesson at the professors house, this being
a mark of special favor fer, with ordinary
pupils, all lessons end at I'm the afternoon
and one lesson in two weeks is the best thar
even the most proficient may attain. One
hour, two hours, three hours these nightly
lessons lasted. for LeschetiZky gives no
heed to time once his serious interest IS
aroused. These two men were together
constantly. They took long walks; thew
played hard-fought games Of billiards both
being adopts at the game; they talked in-
cessantly, for Leschetizky has a fluent
tongue, and what the older man knew of
the sounding art he gave freely 10 the
younger man, and that the disciple has
given TO the world"

Tar and Feathers No Joke

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Tar and feathers strike most people az
rather humorous treatment for an offand-
er, said Mississippi planter, chatting
over old times in one of the hotel corridors
the other evening. When we say a fellow
ought to be tarred and feathered folks
laugh and regard it as more or less Of
Joke. To my mind the term has a different
significance. 1 happened to witness an an
plcaton of tar and feathers years ago
and learned then and there what an in
descrlbably horrible thing it is.
1t was shortly after the war and the
man was a vicious mulatto, who had q
small cane patch ar7our town. He had
eNasperated the community more than once
ana nnaliy, when he was caught dead to
rights stealing some hogs, it was decided
to give him a coat of tar and feathers and
run him out of the country rather than 90
to the trouble of sending him to jail The
job was done after dark, and i went along
to see the fun. The mulatto was taken in
to the woods stripped; and couple of
buckets OF liquid tar poured over his head
and back. Then the contents of an old
fashioned pillow were shaken out over him
He made no resistance, for he was afraid
of being lynched but the feathers some
how didn't stick very we'll However he
was well daubed with tar, and In that con-
dition was ordered to march. He wandered
away dazed and two days later was found
- q ieiiIS Ioihei, CidLy --WllH lever. The
tar had run into his eyes and blinded him
and the stuff on his body set up an infiam,
nation that resulted in blood poisoning.
won't harrow you with details, but he died
in great agony in about week. 1t was Mt
terly impossible to get the tar off, although
everything was tried. Since then a yery
grewsome picture has always risen before
my minds eye whenever l hear the term
mentioned. Tarring and feathering is a
mighty serious thing when you get down
to grim reality. l doubt whether anybody
ever came out of the ordeal alive"
