HOUSING OF THE POOR.
Problem Which Is Particularly Acute
 in Dublin---How So.yad

Housing of the very peer is a prcb- lem which Is particularly acute i'll Dublin and an association was start ed three years ago to face 1t. It be- gan, says the Chicago Daily NeNws, very modastly and within its limits has proved great success in proyld- ing comfortable little homes at rents from 50 to D cents a week for the poorest class of the population in stead of the unsanitary dwellings hitherto occupied. Business was combined with philanthropy and the enterprise has yielded a steady three per cent. dividend on the capital ot f20,00o (s10O,o00) invested. It Is now felt that the time has arrived when the area of the experiment should be widened and additional capital secured A very useful meet ing was accordingly held on May 3 in Dublin, under the chairmanship of the lord lieutenant, Lord Dudley, who took the-opportunity of express Aiire sympathy with Irish poverty and gsts full credit for his sincerity and intelligence. EordDudley said he had heard much talk of the pov- erty of the Irish peasants on the western seaboard and he had been to see them for himself, but bad as was their condition 1t was not to be com pared for squalor and misery with the state of the people in the poorest part of Dublin. Of the 59,0O0 fam lilies which live in Dublin 21 ,00O live Tn single room tenements and of these 5000 have more than five in family. He thought it impossible that education, civilization and self Improvement could be more than a farce If people were allowed to exist in the squalor, misery and degrada- ton found in these single rooms That squalor was not, he said, due to the character of the people, for he had everywhere seen the peoples ef- : forts to brighten it. But their cir cumstances made brightness and cleanliness impossible. The meet ing resolved to raise a further sum of f10,oo0 ($50,oo0) to build suit able dwellings.

RHoDoDENDRoNS FOR PROFIT.
Pennsylvania Farmers Ship Plants
 for City Parks and Lawns.

Shipment of rhododendrons to the city markets is an industry recently developed in Wayne, Monroe and other mountainous counties of northeastern Pennsylvania, says the Boston Budget. During the spring months many persons have been en- gagged in digging these shrubs from the pastures and along the creeks and loading cars for shipment.
 The plants grow in punches, around which string is tied to keep the branches together, then by means of axes the sod is cut around the base and the plants and roots are removed from the ground with from 25 to 40 pounds of soil and sod. The shrubs are sent to New York and other cities, to be transplanted in public parks and on lawns.
 The rhododendron, or great laurel, is one of the most attractive and pro- life shrubs native to the Pennsyl- vania mountain regions. It's mag nificent white flowers, clustered in bouquets among dark green, velvety leaves, are in the fullness of beauty during July and August. Nowhere else does it grow in such luxuriance and attain so high degree of perfec- ton as on our Appalachian mountain slopes. Long catalogued as pest by farmers, who were unable to appre- ciate the beautiful in nature, the rhododendron is now source of profit, adding many dollars to the in- comes of Pennsylvania farmers.

THE DEMOCRATIC AUTO.
Washerwoman Came to Her Work in
 a Hor seIess Carriage.

'I had very interesting expert ence, as the result of placing an ad- vertisement in the paper," said a woman who lives in the northern part of the city, according to the Detroit Free Press. q wanted a washer woman, but 1 was not prepared to get the kind that it was my fortune to engage.
 "The morning that the advertise ment appeared, an automobile stopped in front of the house, and a woman stepped from it and rung our bell. She informed the maid that she wished to see me, and when l entered the parlor, she said that she had called in response to my ad- vertisement
 Having the automobile in mind, 1 did not quite understand. I &C., knowledged that I wished to hire a washerwoman, but it did not seem right for me to pA sume that this woman, who arrived in an auto, was willing to work by the day. But to my great surprise, she announced that she was applying for the work for herself. It was a new experi- ence for me to employ a washerwom- an who rode around in vehicle that is supposed to be only for the rich.
 q learned that her son is of a me chanical turn, and that he built the machine himself It is a very fair one, presents a decent appearance and makes reasonably good time. The woman uses it to run around in to look up advertisements, without any idea of putting on airs, and she proved to be very capable washer woman. l hire her regularly now, and 1 am recommending her to my friends.

It Is a small crab of the genus Melia-a new species, having been described in 1900 by M, Borradaile under the name of Melia tessellata. This crab lives among the branches of coral, and, as Richter noted in 1880, 1t is never seen without a small sea-anemone in each claw. Invariably, when met, it is provided with its two anemones, one in the right claw, one in the left, and it moves about in this way, with its double burden. Why? We do not know. We do know, however, that the crab holds the anemone volun- tarlly; 1t Is held in the claw, not fixed on it. And when it is taken away the crab seizes it again; otherwise it goes and finds another. It appears to be satisfied only when its two claws are thus occupied, although oc- caslonalIy a Mella Is met with empty claws. What is the reason for this curious habit of the species? Does the crab use the anemones as a means of defense? May not the stingine cells of the anemones protect it against some enemy? Or does it use them as devices for fishing, causing them to grasp victims that come in contact with their tentacles? We dc not know. It is certain, however that the crabs claws are weak and frail; they could hardly serve unas- sisted as means of defense. And when attacked he defends himself by stretching out the anemones in the adversary's direction. Here is an ancient habit whose origin and exact object are not apparent. It is worth noting; we know few cases ol animals that use tools, especially liv ing tools"

oRGAN-GRINDER WITH TITLE.
Viscount Hinton Turns Out Tunes
 for Charitable Cause.

Earl" Poulett, better known as Viscount Hinton, has appeared again in the London streets with his organ, says London cable.
 His reappearnce seems to have greatly pleased the public, as large and sympathetic crowds listened to the organ as it passed through Char ing Cross road, Tottenham Court road, Hampstead road, to Camden towns, and the people were generous in their contributions.
 "Earl" Poulett, by the way, is not now compelled" to grind the organ for living. He is a member of the staff of Pearson's Weekly, and is just now working on behalf of the fresh air fund. A large notice in front of the machine announced that all funds taken were to be given to that charity.
 The story of Earl" Poulett's claim to the title here given is a strange one.
 In July, 1849, the sixth earl, then Lieut. William Henry Poulett, mar ried at the registry office at Portsea Miss Elizabeth Lavinia Newman, daughter of a pilot at Londport.
 Six months later the present claim ant was born, and was registered at Portsea under the name of William Turnour Thomas Poulett, but the lieutenant, who succeeded his cousin in 1864 to the earldom, denied that the boy was his son.
 Mrs. Poulett died in 1871, and the earl was twice married afterward. the third marriage resulting in the birth of William John Lydston Poulett. This son, now 19 years of age, holds the family estates at Hinton St. George, in Somersetshire, the lord chief justice deciding in his favor a year ago, when the organ grinder claimant sought to gain possession.
 The claim which is made to the title, and which is likely to come be- fore the house of lords in the near future, is of course, entirely separate and distinct from the dispute about the estates.

A curious habit of crab of the Maldiye archipelago is noted by re- cent writer, M Borradile, whose book on this region is reviewed in the Re vue Scientifque. This creature uses live sea-aneomones as weapons, or perhaps as traps to secure its food the exact purpose is as yet obscure. Says the writer, describing this in teresting crustacean:

EGYPTIAN ARCHITECTURE.
Sir Martin Conway Describes the Earis-
 est Stone Buildiups,

At the meeting of the Royal Insti- ute of British Architects, held the other evening in London, says the Paris Messenger, Sir Martin Con- way read a paper cn "The Beginning of the Egyptian Style of lArehitec- ture" The lecturer said the Egyp- tian style appeared 10 have arisen about the time of the fourth dynasty an dto have rapidly developed during the fifth. Until recently it was com monly believed that the early dynas- tic Egyptians employed wood for small and costly edifces. In fact, however, no such Egyptian wooden architecture ever existed. The earlier Egyptian stone buildings had no architectural feature whatever. It vas mere building, not architecture. Down to the middle of the fourth dynasty the craft of building in stone had been carried to a high degree of perfection, but it had developed no architectural art.
 The lecturer described the charac- terlstic features of stone building in the developed Egyptian style. Discussing the question as to when the translation of all the features and principles of Egyptian architec- ture invented by the mud builders, into stone took place, the lecturer said that the well-known sarcophagus of khufuankh at Cairo threw well come light on that problem. The fifth dynasty had left them several actual examples of stone architecture containing decorative features. Throughout the period when ttle stone architecture was arising Egypt pyramid building steadily lost its charm for the kings, the reason evil dentfy being that, as time advanced, less of the mass of human energy un- der the command of the king was de- voted to pyramid building and more to building of some other sort.
 The lectuar next considered the character of Divine temples of the old empire, and referred to the evolution brought about in temple building by changes in religious ceremonial and by the gradual busting of the priest ly caste. Finally, he considered the character of the sculptured decora- ton applied to old empire temples and the system of its distribution.
 Concluding, he said that Egypt had impressed the prestige of its mighty name as q ountry of great buildings and noble art on the imag- nation of succeeding generations. They were only now beginning to re- alize that the reputation of Egypt as an ancient artistic nation, so far from being exaggerated, did not at- tain the level 1t deserved

THE CRAWFISHER'S SONG.
Soft, Sweet, Rhy thmical Bit of Melody
 Heard in Louisiana.

Heard in Louisiana.
 SDid you ever hear a crawfsher's song?" asked man with an ear for music, of a writer for the New Or leans Times-Democrat. "Well, l have, and during a stroll over a narrow strip of wooded land which separates two plantations out in one of the Louisiana parishes most pc culisr melody Heated to my ears, and though it was short, it caught my at tention immediately. It was sweet, soft, rhymthical. It had an exceed ingly melodious strain, was sung by wonderfully melodious voice, and seemed to be arranged according to the laws of tone. 1 was amazed by the sweetness of it-hypnotized and held. It seemed to have rippled from some spot not far away, and was just gurgling from the lips of the earth. 1 peeped through the weeds and trees about me, but saw no one, yet the sound had seemed to come from an open stretch on one side of the thicket. This puzzled me. Was the vocalist hidden? And had he sung to embarrass me? If so, why didn't he sing again? The voice was so we'll modulated, every note of the unseen enchanter had sung uncon- sciously. There seemed to be an air of careless independence about it. Presently it rippled out again:
 'Crawfish aint got no show.
 Frenchman ketch i'm an make gumbo- ho, ho!
 "This bit of inoffensive ridicule, which is familiar to almost every one who has lived in southern Louisiana for any length of time, arrested my attention again, but the humorous side of it went also into insignifcance for it was the tune, not the words, that won my attention 1 walked out of the woods and made fer the place where l supposed the sound orig mated. I was in an open field, but could see no one. This is a great mystery said to myself. Then I went to slight elevation near a canal so 1 could get a better view of the surrounding country but no sooner had I reached the top of the little hill than l noticed boy seated near the edge of the water down in the canal. He did not see me, the top of a small tree under which he sat all most hiding me from him. He was in knee trousers, wore wide brimmed hat, was barefooted, and looked intently at several crawfsh lines which he had set Directly he sang the little song again. He sang with the same melodious strain. After conversation with him about crawfishes and so forth, l left him and wondered whether the melodies of crawfish boys were results of tenn porary inspiration or of deliberate composition All their songs live a long time, too. The one in question is said to be over 100 years old. 1 Awhile after I had left the little fel- low the melody came to me again:
 "tChawfish ain't got no show;

Obituary.

Dear little Elbert is dead! After
several weeks of patient suffering on
Wednesday, October Z, 1903, at
3:l5 p. m, his little soul winged its
flight to the beautiful realms Of rest.
He was seven years old and the only
son of Mrs NJ E Pipkin, of Benson,
S. C. The funeral services were held
at Bloomingvale church and there
mains were laid to rest beside his
father and little sister.
Elbert was ever kind and cheerful
child. -During the last few hours OF
his illness he sang, the last hymn
being, "Bring Them In"
Then he said his prayers aloud,
asking God to bless ina and little
sister, grandma, grandpa and every
body. for Jesus sake. Amen"
Only three short years ago the an
gel of death robbed q loving young
wife of a devoted husband and three
children of q fathers tender love.
inst two months after the father
died little Florence, the oldest
daughter, was called. Now these
loving hearts are again bowed In sad
ness bv the death of this little one.
Too rich in promise to blossom
here this flower needed for its sweetest
bloom the sunlight shed in Gods
own presence. No one who ever saw
little Elbert can forget the face o'er
which smiles played like sSnbeams
on lilies and frightened all around.
1t seems only yesterday that we
saw the loving mother caressing her
darling boy as she planned for him
a future crowned with joy and love.
But now we behold these bright
hopes blighted, for little mound
tells us that Elbert is gone to live
with the angels.
Weep not, sad hearts. Only think
of it! No weary wanderings for the
little feet; no weary tasks for the
little hands; no sad heartaches; no
bitter tears for little Elbert; but
only rest, sweet rest forever.
One Who Loved Him.
