LEAVE FOR NAVY YARD CLERKS
Bill TO Give Privilege Accorded De-

Senator Elkins yesterday introduced in
the Senate, by request, a bill to allow
clerical employees of the Navy Depart
ment in the navy yards and other sta
tions, outside of Washington. to have the
same leave privileges as those employed
in the departments here.
In many cases clerks at the navy yards
are restricted to much shorter annual and
sick leaves than are allowed in the de-
partmcnts here. The bill is designed to
equaiize this difference.
The measure was referred to the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs

The NationaI-virsinia Harmed.

The National Theatre will be the scene
next Monday evening of double intro
duction by Charles Frohman-first prac-
tically new star, Virginia Harmed and.
second. a relatively new play, Alice of
Old Vincennes."
Miss Harned's debut in this instance
will be as an individual star, for she is
already abundantly possessed of stellar
hcnors won during her long association
as co-star with her husband, E. H.
Sothern.
In thus branching out for herself Miss
Harmed has had more in her favor than
customarily falls to the lot of the aver
age newcomer in the theatrical world,
for, in addition to great personal attrac-
tions and exceptional ability as an act
ress, she can boast of a manager of re-
nown, dramatist of skill, and a novelist
of world wide fame, and this combina-
tion of resources is well calculated to
equip her with the strongest sort of ve-
hicle by which to attain success.

The Condnctor,s Bnton.

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. LuIly found it wearisome to
keep his foot constantly in motion and
so used a stick to strike the floor and
beat time lie used pole six feet
long. One day he brought down the
pole with such force that it struck his
foot and made a deep wound. He paid
no attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried more
ana more to improve the baton, and it
was ultimately brought to its present
form.

The Tricky Fox.

A gentleman while hunting near a
river one winter day saw a fox run
out on the ice and make at 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 a dog
came crashing out of the woods, bay
ing finely, hot on the fox's trail. Now,
dogs when on a chase of this kind
trust almost entirely to their noses.
This one was no exception. He 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.

Sailors have very simple and what
is said to be very effective way of
determining the edible or nonedible
qualities of any new varieties of fish
they may happen to run across. In the
water in which the fish is boiled is
placed a bright silver coin. If the coin
retains its natural color during the boil
ing process, the fish is good to eat, but
if it turns dark the food is rejected.

Stupid Husband of a Noted singer.

Catalanis husband, a 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. viii you see that it is made
lower before the concerto"
When the evening came, Catalan
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
dear" said the stupid husband sooth-
ingly.
