The lapidary was skinning pearl,
according to the Philadelphia Record.
He had on gloves Of Il very delicate
sort of kid and the glasses that he
wore had lenses of such great magnify
ing power that his eyes through them
looked as big as saucers. II wear
gloves" he said, because the hands
perspire freely in this work, and per-
spiration has often been known to dis
color pearls This stone was injured
by the accidental dropping on 1t of
some acid. The disaster discoiored it,
you see. With this very delicate little
tool am removing the outer skin, and
If | find that the acid has filtered
through and discolored the inner skin
also | may remove that as well. A
pearl, you see, is composed of concen-
tric layers or skins, and you can, if
you are clever workman, peel 1t
down and down until it disappears"

Stupid Husband of n Noted Singer

Catalanis husband, handsome
Frenchman. was even more unintellec-
tual than his wife-he was stupid.
Once, having found the pitch of the
piano too high, she said after the re-
hearsal to her husband: THE piano Is
too high. Will you see that it is made
lower before the concert"
When the evening came, Catalani
was annoyed to find that the piano had
not been altered. Her husband sent for
the carpenter, who declared that he
had sawed off two inches from each
leg, as he had been ordered to do.
"Surely it can't be too high now, my
dearr' said the stupid husband sooth-
ingly.

The onductOr'a Baton.

According to the Investigations of a
Frenchman the credit of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer, who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopted
the baton conductors were in the habit
of pounding on the floor with their
feet or clapping their hands to mark
the time. Lully found it wearisome to
keep his foot constantly in motion and
so used a stick to strike the floor and
beat time. He used a pole six feet
long. One day he brought down the
pole with such force that 1t struck his
foot and made deep wound. He paid
no attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried more
and more to improve the baton, and it
was ultimately brought to its present
form.

A gentleman while hunting near a
river one winter day saw fox run
out ON the ice and make ut full speed
for an opening in the ice where the
rushing water of the river could be
plainly seen from the bank, says the
Scotsman. At the edge he stopped,
turned, followed his tracks back to the
bank and then ran some distance down
the stream and sat there. Soon dog
came crashing out of the woods, bay
ing finely, hot on the fox's trail. Now,
dogs when on n chase of this kind
trust almost entirely to their noses.
This one was no exception. lie ran
along the ice, head down, and when
he reached the hole he could not stop,
but plunged into the water and disap-
peared forever. Then the fox trotted
away with every sign of satisfaction.

five to ten lessons on the subject treat
ed. While each is complete in iteelf,

special phase of agriculture of which
they treat. Arranging them in these
groups, it is found that there are eight
courses in General Agriculture, seven
courses in Animal Industry, four
courses in Horticulture, six courses in
Dairying and five miscellaneous purses
The student is required to report on
each lesson before the following lesson
of the course is sent him, in order that
the instructor may judge of his prepara.

postage on these repors as sent in to the
College. In order to abtain the bene-
fit of these courses it is necessary that
students make formal application for
enrolment to the Superintendent of

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 4.-(SpeCial
to The Republican.)-Persons who pro-
fess to see in the appointment of spe-
Ciai ENJOYS to attend the coronation
of King Edward VII a discrimination in
favor of Great Britain forget that an
equal honor is being lone by the I'm
tied States to the Kingdom of Spain.
President Roosevelt has selected Hon.
J. l.. NJ. Curry. LII. D.. as special am
bassador to represent this country at
the celebration of the sixteenth birth
day of King Alphonso XIII on May II.
That date marks the arrival of the
young king at maturity, an event of the
highest importance and Significance to
his country.
While the ceremonies attending the
king of Great Britain will be grand and
impressive, those which mark the aC-
CesSion of a new monarch TO the throne
Of Spain will be no less regal and in
teresting. The taking of the oath OF
office as sovereign of Spain by young
Alphonso means as much to his coun.
| try as does the coronation of Edward
| VII to Great Britain.
DR.. Curry was minister to Spain dur,
ing the Cleveland administration but
arrived at his post on the very day
that King Alphonso XII died. He was
present at the birth Of the posthumou5
heir Of the dead king-the young man
who now the sovereignty OF
Spain. He was present also when the

officials Of that day and participated
in all the diplomatic ceremonies that
then occurred.

viously contained the request that
court dress must be worn at the time
of the visit to the palace. | remember
how absurd | thought it was to appear
in full evening dress at breakfast
time, but as the swallow tail is the only
court dress the American diplomat can
wear, | was compelled to put it on and
accompanied the royal messenger to
the palace of the king
Mr.. Curry then related how he was
conducted to the queens bedchamber,
where the ambassadors and ministers
of foreign governments and the high
court officials were all assembled. The
room was a large one and across one
end heavy curtains had been drawn.
After the group of diplomats had
been waiting for some time a courtier
appeared from behind the curtains and
cried out in a loud tone. Long live

arms On which lay the baby king amid
laces and frills. The diplomats formed
i'll a semi-circle and the court lady
bearing the infant monarch passed
around the line to permit the officials
TO gaze upon the child. She had gotten
but half way around when the young
ster set up a lusty howl and she beat
a hasty retreat behind the curtain.
DR.. Curry said that this incident did
not occur until after the infant had
passed before his eyes. and he had per
formed his duty as witness to on"
of the most important events that can
transpire in a royal household.
DR.. Curry anticipates much pleas
ure in being welcomed to Madrid by
Prime Minister Sagasta. who held the
same office when he was minister in

On the east side of the building, op.

Of the professors who occupy the

owes it to the university and the peo
