Eduard Remenyi. the Hungarian vio-

full of fun that he would have made a
tiptop Irishman. He was at home in
the gypsy music of his own country,
and this was the main characteristic
of his playing. He had also fad for
playing Schubert melodies on the vio-
mo effects and occasionally his hear
ers would listen intently after the tone
had ceased, imagining that they still

The Black Cat.

The famous Black Cat'' cabaret in
Paris is in process of being shut up and
sold out and its curious decorations
scattered to the four winds, upon which
the Boston Herald says:
The name Chat Noir was given to
the cabaret because this worthy Bohe-
mlan, at the end of his resources caus-
ed his favorite black cat to be cooked as
a succulent "fricassee' Of rabbit with
plenty of onions At the end of the des-
sert. which consisted of few nuts and
a piece of cheese. Rodolphe rose, and,
with his abominable bass voice, began
to sing requiem about Bib, one of the
three cats which had been killed to feed
himself and his friendsl Babette duly
followed Bib, but the last one, called
Noireau, the finest tomcat on Montmar,
tire, he did not sacrifice. AS the story
goes, it was the fat check of an artless
Yankee that saved the cat In graft
tude Sails hired larger shop and
adorned it with the poster" sketches
which made him a success, AS every
one knows, it became the fashion for
other eccentric personages in Paris art
life to add their mite to the places dec
orations, and on those walls Caran
d Ache, Willette, McNab and many
other illustrators have left some valua-
BILE autographs. Collectors will be eager
to buy chunks of the cabaret, but th
best thing would be to keep it whole
and transport it to America, where it
could be set up as show

Impressive Initiation.

A man who had applied for admission
into secret society, which, for the pur-
poses of this narrative, may be called
the Ancient Order of Queer Fish, and
had been accepted presented himself at
the appointed time for Initiation.
In accordance with ancient usages,
the candidate was blindfolded, ushered
into the lodgeroom, marched in slow
and solemn procession around the dark
ened hall, subjected to varicns trying
ordeals, including that of being tossed
tn a blanket held at the corners and
sides by athletic members, and, having
come through the ceremonies alive and
IN fair preservation, was declared duly
Initiated and entitled to the right hand
of fellowship. The bandage was remov-
ed from his eyes, and the brethren
crowded about him to extend their con-
gratulations on the fortitude he had dis
played.
How did it impress you?' asked one
of them.
1t was the most impressive cere-
mony, take it all around, . he answered,
"that I ever knew or ever heard of. y
You were aware, Of course, that
there was a fire across the street while
we were putting you through?"
Why, " rejoined the new member,
II could hear the putting of the engines,
the tramping of the horses on the stone
pavement, the yelling of the firemen
and the swish Of the streams from the
hose, and / could smell the smoke, too,
but, good gracious, I thought it was part
OF the initiation. ''Y Youths Compan-

And that will not be long, Miss
Howard, /" he said, with gallant bow
He gave the word to his troopers, and
they galloped on.
During this ordeal the behavior Of
Old Put was something wonderful to
see. Though he hated a redcoat as a
cat hates snake, he seemed to under
stand that he had part to act and that
he must act it well. All his true char
acter disappeared. He was ashambling,
dropping horse. with his head down
and ready to submit to anything, just
an ordinary, oppressed British horse of
the lower classes, not a proud spirited
American horse, conscious Of the Dec
laration Of Independence and the truth
that all men and horses are born free
and equal
But when the last of the British
troops had disappeared around the hill
and the gallop of their horses had sunk
into a mere echo Old Put resumed his
former and true character his figure
expanded, he held up his head once

to all. Twas glad to see the change, for

When Tea Was Dear.

The use of tea is said to have been
introduced into China itself from Ko-
rea about the fourth century Of the
Christian era and to have extended to
Japan about the ninth century. Tea
first became known to Europeans about
1910. The first reference to it by ma
tive of Britain is in letter dated June
27, 1915. written by a Mr.. Wickhanl,
which is In the records of the East In

OIL FOR ROAD MAKING
American 0inner.

Next to its value and use as fuel,
thes most important employment
for the petroleum, which has be-
'dAme one of'the most valuable of
sDuthern products, will be found
in road building. 1T has been
used for many yeard s Pennsylva-
MIA for dust leking, notably along
tie lines oftH Pennsylvania Rail-
road, and hsS been found wonder
fully ~ permanently oficacious.
In a limited way it has also been
employeii in towns and on 'coun-
try roads in the oil districts Of the
North, but its use as q surface or
pavement for ordinary roads has
scarcely begun.
Wherever petroleum has been
used for sprinkiing purposes re-
peated applications have resulted
in a firm, compact surface, more
or less elastic, making ah ideal
driveway, yielding less resistance,
yet as smooth 'as asphalt. The
gum in the oil solidies when the
fluid is evaporatsd. and if applica-
tions enough are msd6 it is be-
lieved that . permanent surface

WHAT
Was It That Judge

His Words Are Very
Timely Just Now,
And Emphasize the Necessity o
Every Citizen Voting.

There are so MANY THINGS
that are TO my mind, QUESTIONA-

erty owners against the City Com
missloners, a year ago, that | think
1t would be better to readvertise for
bids and have new letting"
Prior to their summing up the case,
Judge Nye scored the Commissioners
for rejecting bids which were lower
than those accepted, on mere techni-
calities
Just at this time when the citizens
of Akron are TO vote for or against
a continuation of the system which
turns the City Commissioners into II
political machine. it is particularly
interesting to recall Judge Nye's of
ticial comment. The Board is no less
the political engine of Judge Andnr-
son now than it was a year ago.
There are numerous contracts TO he
let this year. Is II necessary TO say
more to set citizens thinking of the
necessity Of their going TO the polls
