An exchange says that when a body
of men get together and carry out
some scheme by force Of numbers it is

is called a "band."
The Great Bend saloon men are not
in need of any ''taffy" such as some of
the would-be moralists are inclined to
smear them with. They appear able
to take care of themselves, and in
gentlemanly way.

A Jnnau.chek Anecdote.

In her prime Janauschek was an ar
dent and arduous disciplinarian. Re-
hearsals were her delight and the dread
Of her supporting companies. When
business was bad, whether because Of
the weather or other circumstances inde-
pendent of her performance, she would
Immediately call an extra rehearsal in
order to make sure that the lack of favor
was not due to deficiencies on the stage.
A trifling incident which occurred in
Washington many years ago illustrates
her determination of character and her
minute sense of justice. She was stay
ing at hotel whose management was
noted for its smalness. She CHANGED to
break washbowl, and when her bill
came she found that she was charged
with an extra toilet set.
Il only broke washbowl," she said
to the manager.
"But 1t was portion of the set" was
the answer.
She made no further protest. Pres
emily the occupants of room looking on
an inner court were startled with a
crash. 1t was followed by another. The
manager rushed to Janauschek's room,
from whose windows chinaware was be-
Ing thrown.
"What's all this?" he asked.
ut is my toilet set," she answered as
she poised the last piece on the window
sill. II purchased it, and l am dispos.
ing of it according to my own ideas."-

A Bird,s Nest Lantern.

Many tropical birds are known to dis
play a decorative tendency. Most Of
them build nests on the ground and place
around them bits of bone, bright colored
shells, pieces of glass, the wings of but
teraies, ETC., but the baya bird of south
eastern Asia, which builds its nest in a
tree, has a method very different and as
beautiful as it is unique. The nest re-
Gembles long sack much enlarged in the
middle and contains three rooms. When
completed, the male bird goes off at even
ing and gets lump of moist clay, which
ne attaches to the inner wall of the nest.
Then he captures several fireflies and se-
cures them to the clay. This he repeats
until he has made several of these insect
lamps, some of which are placed on the
outside of the nest, where they send
forth their strange phosphorescent glow.

His Presumption Puni.bed.

1t was the first lecture he had admin.
istered to his wife, says the Washington
Star.
you have told me that you were
good manager. Your father and your
mother and your aunts told me so, and
your neighbors told me so. 1t looks
nightly to me as though l were the vic
tim of conspiracy. I've just made a
sort of invoice of your boasted econ
omy. | find half bushel of drug store
vials out there, and 40 per cent of the
truck we bought is in them. I find half
dozen kinds of paints in the barn, and
they furnish conclusive proof that we
have paid for at least twice the material
we needed. The bread box is half full of
remnants, and you have enough left over
goods of all kinds to stock bargain
counter. If that's economy, don't know
what economy is" And the husband
who delivered the lecture absentmindedly
tossed his pipe through the window as he
announced that he would put in couple
Of days fishing at the fats.
I'll fix him." and the little wife posi-
lively ground her pretty teeth. On his
return he had late dinner made up Of
fried bread, toast and bread pudding. He
complained of being sunburned, and she
rubbed on some kind of decoction from
the drugs she had in stock that was
strong enough for hair exterminator
and made his skin curl like the leaves in
the sun after frost. OF course, she
was sorry, while he was tearing around
like bear with a thorn in its foot, but
she didn't look the part.
The next morning he walked into the
back yard to get air and gloat over his
possessions. He noticed heads at the
windows Of all the neighbors. Some
were giggling, and some were laughing
long, loud, hilarious laughs. He caught
the focus of their several eyes. 1t was
the barn, painted in red, white, blue,
green, yellow, black, old rose, crushed
strawberry and all the conceivable tints
secured by mixture.
AT first he began to swear, long, in
tense, cultural oaths. Then he recalled
the bread dinner and the outward appli-
cation Of liquid fire. The barn was right
in line. Now his wife holds commits
sion to attend to all business at the house
without let or hindrance.

A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the man
who spends money judiciously and ]iber-
ally is better able to impart his know
ledge than the man who has little or
nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type of news
paper.
The Suns special correspondents
throughout the United States, as well as
in Europe, South Africa, China, end, in
fact, all over the world, make it all up-to-
date newspaper.
The market reports and commercial
features put the farmer, the merchant
and the broker in close touch with the
markets at Baltimore, Norfolk, Charles
ton, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia
and other places which are prominent
centers.
From now on the news Of the world
promises to be more interesting than
ever before and national and political
Questions will arise, making probably the
most eventful period in the couDtry's
| history.
This, together with the corps of edi-
tors and reporters at Baltimore, Wash.
ington and New York, make Tho Sun
invaluable to its readers.

Music In Her Tones.

Women at the present time seem fully
persuaded of the truth of the younger
Pliny's saying, "The living voice Is that
which sways the SOUL" for in nearly ev-
cry public place-train, restaurant or
what not-they are conspicuous by their
much speaking. The pity is that in their
attempts to ''sway the souls" of their
hearers they forget that the swaying may
be in two ways-it may attract or it may
revolt. OF course every woman wishes
that her voice may attract, and she
should take every possible care that II
should do so. She can recall perhaps
some one to whom people listened willing.
ly and of whom they said that she had a
pleasant voice, says the Chicago News.
A sweet voice and pretty face go well
together, but of the two the former is
preferable A noble minded woman.
with sweet and harmonious voice, has
an immense power for good in the world.
Words of consolation and counsel from
her lips have greater influence than she
dreams possible. The fact is that peo.
pie are impelled by the music of her tones
to listen to what she says and are charm.
ed and influenced as they never would be
by the utterance of any one who spoke
wisely and kindly. but less pleasingly.
Sometimes beautiful and attractive wo.
men cease to charm when they begin Ia
speak. This was the case, II is said, with
the Empress Eugene. Many people We
enraptured with her beauty till they
heard her speak. and then her harsh
Spanish voice utterly destroyed the fasc'
nation. English women are seldom bless
ed with musical voices. The damp and
variable climate is responsible for colds
and bronchial affections that more or less
injure the vocal organs. Yet any woman
can in spite of natural defects SO school
herself that she may acquire a pleasant
way of speaking.
The living voice it is which sways the
soul, and the home is happy one which
has at its head woman who speaks in
sweet, calm and well regulated tones
Such possession carries her far on the
road to social success, while the lack OF
1t is likely to make people consider her O
terrible person."

Nine. Recamier,s Beauty.

One dwells OH the great beauty of
Nine. Recamier because it was no doubt
first her beauty and then her character
which created for her such an army Of
friends, as she called them; lovers, as
they called themselves. Indeed" writes
Margaret Deland in Harper's Bazar, Zone
falls in love with Nine. Recamier oneself
because of the charm of her character,
which had in it so little that was senti-
mental, so much that was sensible, and
feels, blowing softly down through all
the years, the fragrance of that unfail-
ing friendliness which marked her rela-
tions with both the men and the women
for whom she cared.
"All records of her speak of her kindli.
ness. People said it did not go very deep,
and perhaps it did not. 1t was spread
over so wide an expanse that very likely
her own heart was not really. touched
when she was comforting so many other
hearts that ached. But 1t was a true
kindliness for all that. 1t was beauti-
full impulse to make other people happy
and especially to put every one at his
best. In her little salon at the Abbaye
she thought of every one. Not talent,
not virtue, not distinction, but what
she loved to know it, to heighten 1t, to
aid it, to put it in good light. Perhaps
it was her ambition to make things agree
able, but at least it was an adorable rn-
bition, especially when addressing itself
to the most celebrated it never neglected
the most obscure
1T is a most precious gift, this power
TO put people at their best, and in our
critical, fault finding, nervous age we do
not cultivate 1t half enough
