A WOMAN OF HOLLAND

Com osed the Boer National Anthem
Now Sung by British, Too
The national anthem of the Beers
was written by an old lady who is at
present living peaceful, obscure life
In Holland. This lady. Miss Catherine
Felicia Van Rees, was born In Holland,
at Zutphen, in 1881. She Is an excellent
musician, and in her youth she COM
posed several operettas which were
performed by the Choral Society of
Utrecht. At one Of these performances
she made the acquaintance Of Mr..
Burgers, member of the society, who
was at that time studying theology in
the University of Utrecht. In 1875
Burgers, who In the meantime had be-
come President of the South African
Republic, went back to Europe and re-
newed the acquaintance Of his old
friend, Miss Van Rees. One day he
begged her to write national hymn
for the Transvaal, and in few hours
the lady wrote both words and music
for what is now the Beers national
hymn. The burghers were SO pleased
with the composition that the Volks-
raad of Pretoria officially accepted the
work and sent Miss Van Rees q letter
of thanks and congratulations. The
composition is very popular among the
Beers, and it is said that the British
soldiers in South Africa have heard it
SO often that many Of them now sing
and whistle it.

An Irlshman who was out Of work

could find him work on the ship.
''Well," said the captain, at the same
time handing the Irishman a piece of
rope, ...R you can find three ends to that
rope you shall have some work"
The Irishman got hold Of the rope,
and, showing 1t to the captain, said:
That's one end, your honor" Then
he took hold Of the other end, and,
showing it to the captain as before,
said, "And that's two ends, your hon.

five, ON Broadway.
The Broadway throngs passing GER
tain corner forgot their usual rush, and
frequently the sidewalks are congest-
ed as the crowds stop and look up at
the side wall of building, says the
New York Mail and Express. They
stand upon the swinging bridges and
walk up and down them with as little
concern as If they were threading the
fiagstones beneath. But what attracts
the spectators more than anything else
Is the nature Of their work. They are
painting colossal portal on the side
Of the wall. The oval in. which the
head is contained is five stories In
height and about three in breadth, or
about 20 feet high and 45 feet wide.
The resemblance to the man whom 1t
Is intended to represent Is striking, and
the accuracy with which the lines are
drawn is remarkable when the size of
the picture and the proximity of the
painters is considered. The swinging
scaffolding Is, of course. directly
against the wall, and there can be no
stepping back" to see the effect Of the
work, but every line is as true as
plummet, and to drawing master the
drawing" would be considered almost
faultless.
The men work from a small photo
graph, held in the left hand while they
put in the lines with the right. The
artist at first began to make a small
portrait only about two stories high,
and had finished UP third Of it when
for some reason a change In the size
was determined upon, and, leaving the
smaller sketch as 1t was, worked the
larger over it. giving it rather weird
effect.

evening might repeat my talk later

Hold up Your Headi
Chicago Record.

hOlu 1OuT nGauI
One Of the best ways In the world to
keep the shoulders straight is to hold
the head up in the air. If you go with
your head looping forward you look
like an enervated apology for yourself,
and pretty soon you will begin to feel
as "hangdog" as you look. A long con-
tinued habit of keeping the head bent
forward tends to develop the character
istics that the attitude implies; you get
slouchy in your dress, irresolute in your
habit Of speech, absent-minded, and
likely enough, finally, a poor, sneaking
counterfeit of boy or girl. So hold up
your head physically and it will help
you to hold up your head spiritually
and mentally. Your tendency will be
to breathe deeper, to walk freer and to
see more of the world. The earth is
beneath. The sky, trees, human faces
and hosts Of other interesting things are
so high up that you will not see them at
all unless you throw back your shoul-
ders and lift up your head to its natu-
raj and honorable place. A bent head
tends to make the shoulders rounl, the
chest hollow, the gait poor, for your
tendency is always to be pitching for
ward, and SO we find that "stoop-shoul-
dered' persons develop lung trouble,
spinal trouble and generally undesir
able condition. Hold up your head!

MOST AMIN ALsFoND OF MUSIC.

Scorpions and Bears Especially Suscep-
tibIe to a Concord of Sounds.
1t Is little remarkable that none of
the many talented musicians of Chi
cago has endeaYored to charm the ami
melodies. 1t is well known that many
members of the brute creation are par
ticularly fond of instrumental music.
In an Eastern city the violin was used
recently with Interesting results in ex-
periments with all sorts of living crea-
lures. First, it was played before a
tarantula. She paid 40 attention what
ever to it. But nest of scorpions be-
came intensely excited and wiggled
frantically. A cobra showed remark
able susceptibility. She was sleeping
soundly when the experimenters ap-
preached her, but the first tone awak-
ened her and she raised her head. As
the music swelled she continued to rise
till she was standing straight as a pill
lar, supported only by her tail. Every
change in tempo and pitch had effect
The pizzicato made her putt her entire
body. Swift waltz music caused her to
erect her ugly hood to its fullest size
and a sudden dissonance made her
wind and twist her body as If she We're
in real agony.
The polar bear tried to dance to the
sounds of the instrument. At least he
swayed his body rhythmically and
made rumbling sound which betrayed
deep pleasure. The grizzlies and the
lions moved their paws and the lions
their tails also in time with the music.
1t happened that string snapped with
it's peculiar sharp smack just as the
player had begun to perform before the
cage of hyena. That poor animal at
once hunched its back up, drew its tail
between the legs and crouehed trem-
bling in the furthest corner Of the cage.

Cow Rears Two Lambs.

betokens that she Is greatly pleased
with her foster family. These lambs
were unfortunate orphans, resulting
from an accident to the eve. AS tenn
porary expedient they were held to

diately accepted the services Of the

per and disposition of the Jersey cows
so often denied to them. The cow Is
a pure-bred Jersey only two years old.
There Is one more lesson given in
this picture, which Is timely; 1t teaches
how lambs should be docked. These
lambs were docked when ten days old
by simply clipping of. with sharp
pair of pruning shears, the tail at a
joint. first drawing back the skin, SO
that enough of 1t was left to cover the
bone. A little common pine tar was
then applied SO as to make a plaster
over the wound by the help of the
wool. which was twisted together
with the tar to exclude the air. The
lambs showed no Inconvenience, and
at that early age the nervous system
is so little developed that but little
pain can be felt.

Pollination of Fruits.

All kinds Of fruit trees and vines de-
pend upon pollen for success in produc-
ton. Some fruits that are well sup
piled with their own pollen will ma
ture, but when the blossoms receive
pollen from some other source the fruit
reaches nearer perfection. Self-fecun-
dated pears have been known to be de
ficient in seed, and plums Of the same
variety have given the same unsatisfac-
tory results. Prof. Munson, of the
Maine Experiment Station, has found
that the size of tomatoes may be quite
dependent on the amount Of pollen
they receive while In bloom. one receiv-
ing larger amount growing four times
as large as one receiving only q small
quantity. The number Of insect visit

decorated with imitation precious

v.r;ous Methods of f,raftinu.

The scions should be cut while the
buds are dormant, and the grating
done during the spring. Bailey says
the best time to top graft is when the
leaves are pushing out, as wounds
made then heal quickly and the scions
are most apt to live" Others graft
just as the buds on the stock are about
to swell. When much of this work Is
to be done, it is often begun month
or two before the leaves may be ex-
pected to start and is continued even
after they are full grown. -sfr

and is commonly employed for the top
grating of old trees. The scion should
be in close contact with the stock and
the wound well waxed. Saddle graft
ing needs no explanation. 1t is used
on small plants and oftenest with a
terminal bud. The graft is tied secure
ly and waxed. This method Is some
times used late in the season. Whip
or tongue grating is also used on small
stocks one or two years old. The parts
are held firmly by a bandage and If
they are above ground must be pro-
tected by waxing.
