IMMENSE EARNINGS

occurred BY Paderewski From Ninety Six
Concerts In This Country.
Ignace Paderewski has three more
concerts to give, and it is estimated
that the gross receipts from his tour
this year will amount to about $500 900,
says the New York Sun. This is
$4,000 more than he earned on his
last trip, and the experience proves the
tallacy of the prediction that it would
never be possible for him to repeat
here the wonderful experiences of that
tour. When he sails away on the
Oceanic he will have given ninety-six
concerts in all and have travelled
$4,000 miles. Only one projected con-
cert was not given. Sacramento was
the solitary city which refused to take
any interest in Paderewski, and the
concert was abandoned there on ac-
count of the small advance sale. Else

Paderewski's itinerary had been a
little differently arranged the accident
might have happened before he ar
rived and the $4,000 might never have
been his. The pianist travelled again
in a special car, wasting little time
between the different cities and omit
ting to give daily concert only when

lions. II there had been towns enough

AS it was he remained most of the
time in his car, with piano on board,
on which he played daily and frequent

ter now than he used to, but still
smokes cigarettes uninterruptedly, and
the most important duty of his imme-
date suite on the train, which COM
brised only the persons necessary for
the trip, was to play cards with him
until the pianist felt as if sleep were

THE CORDIAL WOMAN
Is Rare, for Women Are Slaves of
Conyentionality.

Is Rare, for Women Are Slaves of
Conventionality.
Sometimes, as we hurry along the
crowded streets we meet the woman
who understands the knack of the cor
dial bow. We smile back at her, and
are glad that we have met her, even
though a crowd separated us from her.
There is so much in her bow II says
as plainly as words possibly could: ut
is such a pleasure for me to see you,
even though it is just for a second"
And the best part of it all is that she
is sincere in the impression she wishes
to convey. for he ii said right here and
now, the cordial woman is the sincere
woman. The cordial woman is the
kind-hearted woman, the woman who
likes to put people at their ease. And
one never finds cordially and sar-
casm coupled In the same woman. I
have made note of the lack of cor
diality in women-and there is lack
and have quite come to the conclusion
that the because of it all lies in the
teaSl bh1l 10 q Douu SldNc W
conventionality. Many times she will
not be as frankly cordial as her heart
prompts her to be because of that grim
old fear of being misunderstood" A
regard for conventionality is a good
thing-provided it is not carried too
far. 1t is not unwomanly or unmaid-
emily to be honestly cordial There are
some women, that you and have met,
who pride themselves upon their abil-
ity to keep people at distance"
Some one may have preached you lit
tie sermon about how necessary and
beautiful is ''poise Of manner in a wo-
man." But poise Of manner does not
mean, or should not mean, the sitting
of all sincere emotion. says writer in
the New York Tribune. Take care
lest in cultivating poise you drop into
the habit of indifference. l grant you
that sometimes Indifference saves one
a lot Of petty cares that interest will
bring about. but somehow a woman
seems the happier when she is inter-
ested in the comings and goings and
sayings and doings Of others.

Largest Dog In the World.

We see from the Vermont Phoenix
that Nero, owned by Wayne Bailey Of
Rutland, is the largest canine In the
world. He weighs nearly 300 pounds.
his neck measures 80 inches. and froml
tip to tip he measures six feet Ave,
and one-half inches. We remember
being introduced many years ago, in a
Berlin cafe, to what was said to be thel
largest dog in Berlin, and perhaps in
Germany, which, We think. must have
been nearly or quite as large as the
animal described. As we sat at our
little table, he came up and Tapped our

'I'll help you out once more" On the

years of age, serving God, and then

earth will continue till the world

for the upbuilding of a church through
many anxieties, through many self
denials, with prayers and tears, and
then she dies. 1t is Is years since she
went away. Now the spirit o. God

NEW KIND OF FLY.
Spider, Fooled by Tuning Fork Danced
on 1t.

An astonished, but apparently satis-
fed spider, was one upon which a gen.
tleman recently made an experiment.
The result OF his investigations is told
in Public Opinion. While watching
some spiders one day, 1t occurred to
him to try what effect the sound of a
tuning fork would have upon them.
He had strong suspicion that they
would take it for the buzzing of fly.
Selecting a large, fat spider that had
long been feasting on flies. he sounded
the fork and touched thread of the
spiders web. The owner was at one
edge Of his web. and the thread Sc
lected was on the other side. Over his
wonderful telephone wires the buzzing
sound was conveyed to the watching
spider. but from his position he could
not tell along which particular line the
sound was travelling. He ran to the
center of the web in hot haste. and
felt all round until he touched the
thread against the other end of which
the fork was sounding. Then. taking
another thread along with him as a
precautionary measure, he ran out to
the fork and sprang upon 1t. At this
point he found out his mistake. He
retreated for short distance. and
stopped to survey this new buzzing
creature which should have been fly.
but was strangely unlike any insect
he had ever seen. At length. appar-
emily convinced that the object at the
outer edge of his web was more suit
able for amusement than for an article
of diet. he got on 1t again and danced
with pleasure. It was evident that the
sound Of the fork was music to him.
