Life Saving Devices.

Mimicry among butterflies, moths
and other insects would be comic were
it not a matter of life or death. Not a
few moths have at the hinder ends Of
their wings a black mark and two or
more tails resembling the horns of their
own heads. A veteran in warfare not
seldom has these portions missing, n
PROOF Of the value IN having saved bis
life. Thus the lizards brittle tail,
which, first attracting the enemy,
comes off at his touch. lets his would
be prey escape. When at bay. crabs
distract the enemy by throwing off
their claws, and Holsters do the trick
more neatly by selling the enemy with
a claw and then throwing OF limb and
enemy. Thus the bushy tail of the
squirrel is accounted for. There is a
chance of escaping the enemy minus
only a mouthful of fur.

Supersfition About Cats.

In the M%onferrato it is believed that
all the cats who wander about upon
the roofs during the month Of Febru-
airy are really witches, whom it is law
full and even necessary to shoot. a
German superstition has it that if a
black cat sits upon the bed of a sick
man it is a presage of his death. while
y after his decease it is seen upon his
grave 1t is enough to arouse doubts as
to the locality to which his soul has
departed. In Hungary it is thought
that cats generally become witches be-
tween the ages of seven and twelve
years. A French belief concerning the
cat is that If the animal be carried In
a cart and the wind blow from it to
the horses they Immediately fall tired.
II any part of the horseman's clothing
be made OF cats skin. the horse will
feel as though it carried a double bur-
den. In other countries, however, SUI
perstition is favorable rather than adj
verse to the cat. A variant OF the IA
story of the Kilkenny cats is
found in Piedmont, the cats being,
however. replaced by wolves.

GAVE PIANO RECITAL
Students Of the usic Department
of University Give Piano Re
citaI in Closing Year.

lNG&EAS -taESiEir-a#
1t is the custom with the musical
department. Of the University for the
members of the graduating class in
the Instrumental branch to give a
piano recital in their closing yeaf--a
custom that is very pleasing indeed
to their friends. Thursday evening
of last week Miss Grace Conner
played a program in University chap.
Ell before an audience of invited
friends, and last evening Miss Trina
Walker made her appearance in her
recital at the same place. The
young ladies are both residents of
Mitchell, and in connection with
Miss Lila EWart will receive their
diplomas from the conservatory at
the June commencement of the Uni
yersity. The Misses Walker and
Conner show the work of thorough
training and constant practice. The
programs in each instance were
made up of classical selections and
they we're rendered in a faultless
manner. Some most excellent work
is being accomplished in the musical
department under the direction Of
Miss Lee and she imparts to her stu
dents the touch OF a thorough musi-
clan.

OWEN MEREDITH.
= Dinner Speech OF His That ELECTED
MOwls Of DerfEfon.

- IuatF ESAlGfyG0
HDyvls OF DerfEfon.
I once sat at a banquet given in Lon
don by Wilson Barrett to Lawrence
Barrett, says a writer in an English
magazine. Earl I.ytton presided, d
curled, oiled, effeminate, superciIious
fop. He had a Roman tragedy to sell to
Wilson Barrett. That was why he
came.
He eulogized Wilson Barrett in a
speech. Il believe he said. "that Mr..
Barrett won some success with a piece
called consulting his notes. The Lights
OF London | suppose it was the work
of some dramatic hack" George Sims
sat facing him and never said a word.
Then his lordship went drawing on:
Il next find on the list of Mr.. Barretts
successes something called The silver
King Here again / know nothing OF
the authorship. The names Of those
dramatic carpenters do not interest
me- At which Henry Arthur Jones
glared n a flush I'M into the face Of
poor blind Henry Herman.
Finally said Lord Lytton, "Mr.
Wilson Barrett has placed on his
boards what he humorously calls a Ro-
man tragedy. / refer to .Claudfan,' at
.tributed to one w. G. Wills, Of whom /
have never heard" This was too much
for the ~banaueters. All Of them were
personally acquainted with Irving's
pet poet, the modest Wills. So they
howled derisively.
And Earl Lytton's tragedy, produced
a month later, was a dismal failure.

African Native. and salt.

To obtain salt the B%akalulua and 9TH
er African natives burn banana leaves
and certain grasses and, collecting the
ashes. place them In a large funnel in
geniously made from large panama
leaves. Through this they percolate
water and then eyaporate the filtered
water by boiling, obtaining a fairly
white salt composed of a very small
amount of chloride of sodium and a
very large amount of chlorate of potash
and other salts. Prior to the advent of
the traders and the missionaries this
was the only salt they had to satisfy
the natural craving of a vegetable eat
Ing people.

The missionary Apple Tree.

In the rectory garden of Pysford, near
Working, England, there stands what
Is Familiarity known as the missionary
apple tree. The tree is a large one and
OF a good age and has been so named
for the reason that for many years
past it has been the custom of the rec
tor of the parish to collect the fruit

The BENEFIT BENEFITED
Athletic Association of University
Prnfited Largely by the En-
tertainment.

Prnfited Largely by the En-
tertainment.
The Athletic Association or Dakota
University profited quite largely b.
the benefit which was given at the
opera house Monday evening. The
building was practically filed, and
the audience enjoyed the excellent
program to the full. Prof. j. T..
Lardner, teacher of oratory in the
University, was the feature of the
program and recited nine numbers,
IN which his versatility was display.
ed to a remarkable degree. One Of
the most pleasing of his selections
was AUX I%taliens,' the piano ac-
compartment for which was played.
by Miss Myrtle Lee, and in this Prof.
Lardneb displayed a tenderness Of
recitation that was in strong
sympathy with the piece. One of
the heavier pieces, and where the
tragic lines were more marked, was
the'tQuarrel with julius Caesar. In
a selection of this character the true.
genius Of Prof. Lardner in oratory is
apparent. His rendition of the
Execution OF Sydney Carton, was
wildly given. His other selections
were handled in the same finished
manner, and his work throughout the
evening received the hearty commen-
dation of his hearers.
Prof. Lardner was assisted by local
musical talent. Mr.. Virgil Boyles
sang a bass solo, Conquered y that
was admirably rendered, aaae
which he responded with an encore.
Miss Goodykoontz and Miss Becker
Sang a duet from the opera OF Der
F%reiscbutz that was a perfect gem.
They gave it a charming setting and
the number was most heartily ap-.
plauded. The accompaniment for
the two preceding numbers was played
by Mrs. Maude Silsby-N Nichols. Miss
Florence Winsor. a young pianiste CT.
marked talent. played an tIm-
promptu Mazurka,, by BONN, which
presented in a manner that.
brought forth much applause, to
which she responded with another
selection. Miss Winsor plays with
brilliancy and confidence, and with
a fine conception Of the authors
ideas. Mrs. Emily Bras-Grace, al
though suffering from a severe cold,
sang her selection very atcceptably.
indeed, and although hers was the
last number on the program the
audience insisted on another song,
before the curtain went down, which
was a nice testimonial to Mrs.
Grace's ability as a singer.
Lauritz Miller got to the stage in
a hurry to announce the result of the
selling contest between the
two University societies which had
tickets during the week for the
concert. Hesaid that the Daedalians
tickets to the amount of SIS,
and that the Kappas turned in s114
for their ticket sales, and the ban.
Quet lamp was turned over to the
latter society. He expressed the
thanks of the athletic association for
the hanasome manner in which the
people OF the city turned out-toSt the
benefit.
