productions which, for the past fifteen
years have been synonymous with
girls, glitter and gorgeousness. In

the direction of scenic display anfi
dress. During its extended run at
Wallack's theater, New York City,
where it played to crowded houses for
nearly three months, ii was accounted
a great success i'll every way. The
scenery, which is of a Greaia.l char
acter, entirely, was painted by d.
ecuted by John Wanamaker, who, by
the way. has become the recognized
and foremost costumer of New York.
One of the chief and unusually attrac-

the almost total absence Of the regu-

At recent teachers meeting" said
a visitor who just happened in," lone
of the speakers made the statement
that the male teachers of New York
city public schools were all specialists
of exceptional ability; that they We're
just such men as one finds outside of
the city in the positions of superintend,
ents and principals of high schools
This statement seemed to me to be
worthy of verification by something
more reliable than the words of an en-
thusiasuc partisan, so set to work
making inquiries about those male
teachers in the school nearest my home
The following are the data given me
by the principal Of this school, which,
l am told, is by no means more favored
in the way of appointments than the
others In the system: Out Of ten male
teachers all but three could boast, If
they desired to do so, the possession of
bachelors degree. Two of the seven
are masters, with some work done to,
ward Phi. D.. and nearly all are
doing some postgraduate work either
at Columbia or at the State university
The three spoken of are ex-high school
principals from up state cities My
respect for the New York city school
teacher has been wonderfully in,
creased. New York Times

Marriage Performed by stgnatur

Marriage Performed by Signature.
There are always a number Of mar
r1ages on board the cody ships which
ply between Calcutta and the West
Indies. The coolies are very fond of
marrying before entering on their Le-
riod Of servitude. Sometimes as many
as hundred of them will want the
nuptial knot tied.
The captain Of any British ship has
legal power to marry people, but the
master of one Of these cody vessels
has grown tired of reading the Angli
can service fifty or sixty times voy,
age So he has had number of forms
printed with the essential parts Of the
service. The bride and bridegroom
step into the cabin, sign one of these
forms, have it witnessed and become
man and Wife No questions are
asked. They simply sign their names
1t is the quickest kind Of marriage
on record, but the British authorities
have declared it to be perfectly valid.

For the Brain and Nerves.

Science has demonstrated most con-
clusively that mental and nerve power
is dependent upon food containing
phosphorus.
1t is but natural that the same laws
which apply to the muscular system
should apply likewise to the brain. For
instance, wheat contains phosphorus,
which it gets from the soil and in the
absence of which it could not live.
Wheat is supposed to supply to the
human system the elements it gets
from the soil. Since the action Of the
mind is dependent on phosphorus,
wheat, fish, cheese oatmeal and barley
can be regarded as brain foods.
It is we'll known fact that the brain
contains phosphorus in proportion to
Its power of producing mental effort
and that this element must be supplied
in proportion to mental activity.
So it can he readily seen that ones
mental education begins in the dining
room as well as in the classroom

The man who is calm Las his 60, ?
in life clearly marked on his chart
His hand is ever on the helm. Storm,
fog, night, tempest danger, hidden
reefs-he is ever prepared and ready
for them. He is made calm and serene
by the realization that in these crises
Of his voyage he needs a clear mind
and cool head; that Ire has naught to
do but to do each day the best he can
by the light he has; that he will never
finch or falter for moment; that,
though he may have to tack and leave
his course for time, he will never
drift, he will get back into the true
channel he VIII keep ever headed to-
ward his harbor. When he will reach
1t, how he will reach it, matters not to
him. He rests in calmness, knowing
he has done his best.-William G. Jor-

Native Australian Tree Climbers.

Native Australian Tree Climbers.
A black never uses his knees when
climbing. II the tree is small in girth.
he sometimes uses a vine, passing It
around the tree and holding on to it as
he ascends. The most common way,
however is to ascend by means Of
notcheS cut into the tree or bark about
one and a half inches deep and about
three feet apart. Having fixed upon
the side he intends ascending, the
climber cuts a notch with his toma-
hawk about the height of his waist and
another on level with his head, but
little to the right or left of the lower
notch as the case may be- These
notches are made by a few taps of the
Ratchet first horizontally and then
down at an agile of forty five degrees
Having cut the two lower ones the
ascent is made by standing on the ball
of the foot, With the great toe in the
notch, While the climber cuts a fresh
notch level with his head, and 50 on
until the lower branches are gained
Often the gum trees run eighty feet
from the ground up to the lowest limb,
the trunk of the tree being perfectly
smooth. These notches are cut with
great regularity, for, measured on a
fallen tree, the distance between them
seldom varies half an inch In reas-
cending tree fresh cuts are made for
every fresh ascent.

Wander bout as haggard ghosts
For brief respite from their torment.
Yet on my tomb they'd write
And make the dumb stone say,
That God had plucked lily white.

There is story going the rounds
of a man who was caught out in a
rain storm and to protect himself
crawled into hollow log. While
the storm was raging he began to
think of what a good man he had
been, of all the good deeds he had
done, and he became so full of en-
thusiasm and felt so big that when
he went to extricate himself he
found he was wedged in SO tightly
that he could not move. Try as he
might. he seemed doomed to die in
that hollow log. AS he lay there
he thought of all the mean things
he had ever done and the meanest
of all he had neglected to pay for
his paper, which made him feel so
small that he easily crawled out of
his prison.-Ex.
