Why He Should Learn Spanish.

Why He Should Learn Spanish.
One Of the most brilliant series Of
the Gobelin tapestries represents the
surprising adventures Of Don Quixote.
Louis Nv. had great affection for
the doughty chevalier. One day he
said to a great gentleman Of his court:
"Do you Know SpanishT'
mo, SIRE" said the other
"Ah, it is a great pity"
The selgneur, thinking, at the least,
the king was going to offer him the
ambassadorship at Madrid, put him
self with extraordinary zeal to the
mastery Of Spanish. In few weeks
he came back to his royal master and,
with conqueror's air, said:
your majesty, l have learned Span
ish."
"My compliments" said Louis. Read
Don Quixote' in Spanish. 1t is much
finer than in French"

PERFUMEO STATUES.
Partisan Sculptors Add New Fad t.

The latest notion among Partisan
sculptors is to perfume as we'll as color
their feminine figures, says the Paris
correspondent of the New York World.
The practice of tinting the marble has
been gaining in favor with French
sculptors to such an extent that in the
last few years a pure white statue.
particularly if representing n woman,
has been q rarity.
The younger men, in their desire to
produce something ultra aesthetic, mix
their paints with oils specially prepared
with powerful perfumes. thus giving
an aGueL iouch OF realism to the stat
ues by making an appeal to the sense
Of smell as we'll as to that Of sight.
The true Partisan is an enthusiastic adj

FOUND NEARLY 1900 CASES OF FEVER
PersOnRI Inspection Reveals n Very
Grave Situation, There Being an
Average of Twelve New Pa
tients Each Day.

tients Each Day.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Dr. George
A. Soper, New York expert engaged
to investigate the typhoid epidemic at
Butler, Pa, and its causes, reports
that the epidemic has by no means at
taned its elimination, about 30 per
cent of the cases not having reached
the critical stage.
Investigation of the drainage areas,
he says, shows the existence of. numer.
Gus sources of pollution, and particular
ly the occurrence of cases of typhoid
on the banks of the Conoquenessing,
since July.
Clara Barton, president of the Amer
lean Red Cross, who visited Butler,
Pa, with members of her staff in COM
pliance With the recent appeal of the
mayor and relief committee of that
stricken city for assistance, has re-
turned to Washington and ia confrma-
ton of the appeals from Butler made
the following statement addressed TO
the people of the United States:
Unable to judge of the seriousness
of the situation ut Butler. Pa. because
of conflicting runners of the typhoid
epidemic, accompanied 10y members of
my staff | have made n personal visit
TO the scene. We found in Butler,
town of $4,000 inhabitants. almost as
many hundreds of patients in all stages
of typhoid fever, few cases conva-
lescing to an average of twelve new
cases per day. The hospitals are near
ly full. but most of the patients are
being treated at their homes. In some
cases as many as six or eight members
of the family are Frustrated. The pa
tients are attended in most part by
trained nurses from such large cities
as Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cleveland
and Rochester. more than POO in all.
1.-The relief work is administered by
a competent committee elected at
mass meeting of citizens about two
weeks agO. This committee includes
many of the most prominent merchants
and professional men Of the town, the
burgess of Butler being one Of the men,
bers. Investigation shows that at least
$4,000 more than is now in hand wiz
be required for the relief work before
the epidemic is over. This money can
not be obtained from the town and
must be looked for in voluntary contri-
buttons from the outside public.
Donations should be sent TO Thorn
as ]. Schuffiln, treasurer, Butler relief
committee"
