with WOOL where with us they have
to lie down to sleep on their straw
mats, as Is best for them. You think
1t nice to give them ribbons for their

wear caps and aprons! This turns the

In the old days a favorite fad for
travellers in ancient lands was the col

the supply has run SO short that now

England, and In New York turn out
large numbers Of excellent limitations
The new ones are machine made and
so far as strength and durability are
concerned are superior to the ancient
designs, which were hand made, but
the latter In many instances were or
namented with inlaid work as we'll as
with carving and twisting Of the most
artistic type. The machine made goods
can never reproduce these latter char
acteristics so well as to deceive an ex-

The material of the lanterns varies
from fine woods and glass to iron,

THE BAND PLAYED "OiXlE."
And SOusa Won the Hearts of the
People at Fayetteville.


People at Fayetteville.
When North Carolina celebrated its
centenary, the Marine band was order
ed to Fayetteville to participate in the
ceremonies, said Bandmaster Sousa.
The little southern town was much in
terested In the advent Of the "presi-
dents band" and the prevailing opin-
ion was that Dixie" would be tabooed
music with u.s. Before the exercises a
local committee waited upon me and
intimated that Dixie" was q popular
melody IN that vicinity.
"Of course" said the spokesman, I'VE
don't want you to play anything you
don't want to, but please remember.
sir, that we are very fond Of Dixie
here"
Bowling gravely, | thanked the CON-
mlttee for their interest In my pro-
gramme, but left them completely In
the dark as to whether | intended to
play the loved song Of the south or not
The ceremonies opened with a patrl-
otto address by Governor gowle laud
ing the glOrieS of the American dag.
and naturally the only appropriate mu-
sic to such sentiment was The Star
Spangled Banner" which the crowd
patriotically cheered.
The tone of the succeeding grafton
was equally fervid. but the speaker en-
larged upon the glories of the common
wealth whose one hundredth anniver-
sary was being celebrated. The orator
sat down. and there was q momentary
pause, and then as | raised my baton
the strains Of Dixie" fell upon the de-
lighted ears Of the thousands round the
platform.
The unexpected had happened, and |
such q shout as went up from that |
thrOng | have never heard eQualed. |
Hats were tossed in the air, gray hair
ed men embraced. and for a few min
utes jubilant pandemonlum reigned
supreme. During the rest of our stay
In Fayetteville the repertory Of the Ma
rine band was on this order: Yankee

Nathaniel Nau thorne.
The first reading Of 1.-THE Scarlet
Letter. has been told in T. w. Hig-
ginson's book OF essays, Contempt
rarIes." The reading was given to
the authors dearest critic. his wife.
During the entire winter when he was
at work upon the book he seemed OPP
pressed by some secret anxiety.
There was a knot in his forehead
all the time" said Mrs. Hawthorne.
Finally one evening he went to her
and said that he had written something
which he would Ike to read aloud.
The work amounted to very little, but
still lie would like to read 1t. All that
evening he read, but as the romance
was unfinished at bedtime his wife
made no comments, knowing that he
dlsliked criticism until one had heard
the whole.
The next night he read again, and
now her suspense grew so uncomfortable
that In the midst Of a moving scene
she sank from her low stool to the
floor, pressed her hands to her ears
and declared that she could not bear
to hear It,
Hawthorne put down the manuscript
and looked at her In amazement.
do you really feel 1t so much" he
asked. "Then there must be something
In It,"
The next day the manuscript was de-
llyered to the publisher, and on the
following morning Mr.. James T. Fields, |
the publisher, appeared At the authors |
door. When he was admitted, he caught |
the little boy Of the family In his arms
and asked, "You splendid little fellow,
do you know what father you haveY
He had sat up all night to read the
manuscript and had posted out to
Salem in the early morning After his
interview with the publisher Haw-
thorne came down stairs with a firm
step and walked about, his face illu-
mined by new hope and vigor. The
world had found him out. Recognition
was at the door.
