Ghost Played Piano.

West Point correspondent New York
Herald: Residents Of Rugertown, a
suburb of the post, are interested in
a weird concert which was given one
night this week in the parlor of the
home of Andrew Kuhn. a private of
the army service detachment. The
performance did not begin until Just
as the old clock in the tower of the
academic building had struck the hour
of midnight, the artist was invisible
and ghostly sonatas, symphonies and
the like were rendered in wonderful
style. 1t seems that Kuhn, who is an
old resident of the post, had retired
with his family for the night, when
they were aroused by very loud and
thrilling piano playing The sound
seemed to be coming from the parlor.
Upon their entering the room they
found it quite deserted. The piano lid
was closed. but some invisible agency
was sounding the keys. They were
badly frightened. 1t might have been
a cat, but the piano was closed, or 1t
might have been rats nibbling the
strings, but the strings have been
found to be uninjured.

Some of the new boas or neck
ruches of liberty silk are extremely
long, measuring three yards and even
moro. The ruche is in reality much
longer before being shortened by
groups of tucks, which interrupt the
expanse of shining satiny gauze It's

cause the portion which encncles the
throat is enhanced by additions of
these fower-like pompons OF the same
material. One large one is placed di-
rectly at the back Of the neck, another
at each side to meet beneath the chin.
These pompons are called tulips be-
cause they are in fact a floral imita-
tion composed of many petals of silk
tissue. These are softly waved about
the centre, to which they are firmly
fastened. The tulip boa gives be-
coming fuffiness to the chiffon an

The Servant Girl Is Human.

''In looking after your servant do
not overlook the fact that she is q
woman, and very human, with all the
likes and dislikes, the love of pleas
ure, rest and recreation possessed by
other human beings" writes Mrs. S.
Il. Rorer in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. eff she has not had the advan-
tages of an education, and knows but
little of the world, remember that she
is so much the more to be pitied.
Women, as a class, from lack of proper
training, are not business like. The
housewife retains the responsibility
of the detail work rather than give it
over to her servant; hence the lack of
interest and responsibility on the part
of the average maid. If the house
wife would but allow her servant to
become responsible for the great bulk
of tue detail work much confusion
would be avoided. Persons become
responsible only by having RESPONSE
bility placed upon them, and servants,
as rule, feel the Importance of their
work according to the trust which is
reposed in them and the responsible
ity which is placed on them"

lWorry Destroys Beauty.

Nobody who goes about the world
with open eyes can fail to observe
how many women, beyond the beau
tiful realm of youth, wear look of
strain, of anxious solicitude, as if
they were expecting or enduring q
veyation. This look is not akin to
that of sorrow, in which there is cer-
tain dignity; rather it is the express
sion wrought in the countenance and
fixed there by attention to multitude
of petty details. and focused in a sell
dom forgotten though perhaps unac-
knowledged irritation. When you meet
middle aged or elderly woman who is
serene and unworried, on whose face
the care lines are only added beauties.
the sense of repose and refreshment
in such gentle company is most un-
usual and delightful. We should bear
in mind, as the days pass, that our
thoughts and our temper of taking up
the days burdens, whether fretful or
CHEEKY, are molding our faces, as
the sculptor molds the plastic clay.
A woman who never worries, who ac-
cepts inevitable ills with philosophy.
and who habitually seeks to make
those around her happy, may be plain
in her girlhood, but she will be charm
ing in her maturity, in person as well
as in character. Golfers Weekly.

To Meet Life's Wear and Tear.

The paramount necessity for the
preservation of the teeth is that they
be kept clean to apoint that few either
dream of or accomplish. If this were
done, the teeth themselves would last
through the time during which they
are required. The dentist of today,
after he has removed the tartar and
accumulations that, in spite of their
vigilance, have been deposited, and
brushed each tooth equally on the la
bial and lingual side with his tiny
brush, which can go into all the
cracks and crevices, as it is propelled
by machine that makes it revolve
quite rapidly, gives an object lesson
as to what is necessary in this re-
spect. 1t would be a saving of money
and tooth structure to visit the den
tist at least once month for this
purpose. In the meantime the tooth
brush that one wields himself should
be soft, not too large, and it should
be kept thoroughly disinfected, and
renewed at least once month, pre-
ferably oftener. The points of the
bristles become worn and in short
time wound the gums. The matter
of tooth powders, tooth pastes and
mouth washes is very important.
Needs vary with the individual, and
each should learn from the dentist
that which is best adapted to the con-
ditions of his or her mouth and teeth.

A Fad From Far Japan.

"Ko-Kwai" Is quite the fad of the

New Field for Women.

When the woman said she wanted n
pair of shoes, the hollow-eyed clerk
did not ask: "What size, madam" ?"
but said, instead, "New or second
hand?"
The woman hesitated, not quite
graspirg the significance of the ques-
tion. why, new, of course" she
said at length.
"The reason I asked" said the
clerk, "was that we have several
pairs OF shoes of different sizes that
have been worn little, just enough
to stretch them, and l didn't know
but that you would like pair that
your feet would slip right into and
that you'd never have any trouble
with"
The womans interest had plainly
got started by that time. "Have you
got any suchs" she asked.
"a few pairs, as I just said," re-
piled the clerk. They have been worn
long enough by professional shoe
Btretchers to take the stiffness and
newness away. We are thinking
seriously of making these stretched
shoes a permanent and prominent
feature of our stock. Why, do YOU
know" he continued, with increased
earnestness, 'if had foot that /

on shoes. Anybody who has ever
endured the torment incident to
stretching a new pair of shoes would
be willing to pay so cents more pair
in order to be relieved of the discom-
fort of getting them set to the foot.
The custom of offering stretched
shoes to patrons has already been in
troduced into several stores in town,
and it certainly ought to become very
popular. Judging by present indica-
tions, it will not be long before every
shoe store of any pretensions will en-
ploy people with feet of the standard
sizes to wear new shoes for a day or
so to break them in. 1t will certainly
be good investment, for patrons will
buy shoes oftener when the horror of
setting them has been removed, and
thus more money will accrue to the
dealer. Shoe stretching is a calling
that will not permit its followers to
tread on howery paths of ease, but
the possibility of buying shoes that
are comfortable from the start opens
up view of elysium for the wearer.

Music's Aid to Marriage.

New Haven special New York
World: Miss Lillian G. Morris, %
years old, has obtained damages from
the Winchester Repeating Arms Com
pany for injuries resulting in the loss
of the second and third fingers of her
left hand. A cartridge machine on
which she worked was responsible for
the accident. Miss Morris held that
her skill as a pianist was of no value
to her, as the loss of the fingers pre-
vented her performing. Her attorneys
in arguing the case declared that her
chances for marriage were hampered
by the injury and consequent inability
to exercise her powers as a musician.
The machine on which Miss Morris
worked has history of misfortune,
being one of those that exploded and
injured many persons two years ago.

Red Cuebracho, Found In South America,
Is Superior.
A new and thoroughly suitable wood
Tor railroad ties has been found tn the
forests in the northern part of the Ar
gentine Republic. 1t is the red cue
bracho. 1t is an exceedingly hard wood
wod and in its interior, not alone in
min, which keeps the wood from rot
ting, no matter in what substance it
Is buried. The wood has been used in
Europe for tanning, but outside of the
Argentine Republic it's utility to rail-
roads, 1t seems, is yet to be discov-
cred and appreciated. Posts made of
this wood which have been buried so
years in land furrowed and quilted by
the torrential rains of summer have
been found to be in as good condition
as if they had been felled recently. In
the Argentine Republic ballasts for
railroad beds is unknown, and the ties
are laid in the ground, which frequent
iy is sandy and exposed to heavy rains
and dried by intense heat. So iron
cross ties were used until it was found
that the red cuebracho was undeniably
the best wood that could be used for
the purpose. 1t not only is so hard
a wood that it has to be bored before
spokes and bolts can be driven into it.,
but it is unusually heavy. 1t does not
split or become compressed with blows.

PRoNoUNCING BoER NAMES.

Vryburg Is Called Frayburg, Kruger Is
Kreer.
OF the four different ways of pro-
nouncing Kruger's name which are
current, No. 1, Kroojer, is vulgar err
ror; No. Q, Krooger, with hard 6, as
In gold" is possible; No. 3, Kreegar,
where the ee is an attempt at the
French vowel sound, is perhaps the
most aristocratic; while No. 4, Kreer
(rhyming with Frere) in which the G
entirely disappears, is the one most
frequently heard among the Cape
Dutch themselves. The name OF the
other president, Steyn, is pronounced
STAIN" and the same sound is given
to the diphthong Ell or ey, and also to
the vowel y, wherever these occur in
Dutch words. Examples are Leyds
Uaids), Reitz (Rates). Hofmeyer. the
names Bloemfontein (Bloomfontane)
and Grsaffreinet (accented on the last
syllable). vryburg (Frayburg) and
Vryheid (Frayhade). The last two
also illustrate the sound of {, which Is
always given to initial v in Dutch,
other instances of which are the fam
lily names Villiers (Fill-yee or Fill-jee)
and Vil5oen (Fillyune or Fill-june). 1t
will be observed that alternative pro-
nunciations are allowed of the J in
both these names. In literary Dutch
this consonant is like the English y.
but at the Cape there Is q strong ten
dency to give it the same sound as
in English. Cronje. therefore, may be
called Cron-jay, or, preferably, Cron-
yay, and Joubert either Jew-bear or
You-bear. Spion kop, of doubtful
fame, is called Spewn kop or Spune
