HYMN SERVICE IN JAIL
ACTRESSES AND CHORUS GIRLS
 GIVE CONCERT TO PRISONERS.
Hardened Men Moved to Tears by the Old, Familiar Sacred Songs Boys Thought to be lncorrig-
 ible Encore HRock of Ages"

Chicago Chronicle.
 Familiar sacred songs sung by com pany of actresses and chorus girls brought tears to the eyes of 50 prisoners at the county jail yesterday. Hardened men who had entered the chapel of the jail with heads erect and defiant left it with a softer expression on their faces and a new light in their eyes after hearing Rock of Ages and My Rosary"
 It was one of the most unique services ever devised by Jailer Whitman for the Sunday entertainment of the men whom he has in charge. The concert was given by the members of the Girl from Dixie company but the numbers rendered sell dom have been heard from a stage. In the audience was every man and boy con- fined in the jail and they cheered or cried according to their natures or the senti- ment of the song.
 Touched by the Hymns.
 Although there were a few popular songs in the program, 1t was the sacred songs that produced the greatest effect songs familiar to almost everyone, but which many of the men in the audience had not heard since they were children at home.
 T cannot tell you how much good this has done me-" one of the prisoners sad to Jailer Whitman after the concert. Il never expected to hear these songs again.
 The temper of the audience was first melted when 1t heard My Rosary" AL though MT. Whitman was the only per son in the chapel in the nature Of a guard. the most respectful attention was paid to the singer at the start, and at the last notes many of the hardened men among the prisoners were in tears.
 All Hearts Melt.
 The sight affected even the invited guests, of whom there were some hfty, and a humorous sketch was introduced to bring the audience back to cheerful ness. Then laughter was heard until an- other sacred song was begun, when again the respectful silence reigned.
 In the front rows a dozen boys who were thought by the police to be case hardened" asked that Rock of Ages be sung again, while a score Of negroes in the back of the room laughed them- selves hysterical over coon song. AS diversion the recitation of a poem in ne- gro dialect brought forth the most ap- plause. The scene was perhaps more dramatic to the stage people than the scenes in which they participate daily
 You have done these people good turn that will be with them always, Jailer Whitman said as he thanked the entertainers. '1 am sure the knowledge of a good work done also will hep you.
 While the men were being entertained in the largest chapel two members Of the company entertained the women con- victs in another room.-

THE SONGS OF BARTON GREY
A South Carolina Poet Whose Verses
 Ought to be Printed.

OuRAL LO De 1I1ALCo' Fairfax S. c. Enterprise.
 It Is amazing pa'V expression that a poet of such high rank as George Her bert Sass. whose gems of thought bear the impress of a genius equal to Timrod' S should, in all these years-since the civil war. when he first became known-have failed to get his poems brought out in book form.
 I is true that Timrod's poems required the work of an association and such a head as William A. Courtenay's for their clothing in suitable shape. I have among my most treasured literary possessions a dainty volume of poems by Henry Tim rod with sketch of his life by Paul H. Hayne This was issued from the press of E. J. Hale x Son in 1873. I don't sup pose there are a dozen copies of it in South Carolina today. but I gladly think that copies of the beautiful Memorial Edition or 1899 are kept and valued in every cultured home in the State.
 Now, here is George Herbert Sass, us- ing the nom de plume of Barton Grey" and his exquisite verses are blown about in the daily papers like the chaff of some nameless penny-a-liner. It is a shame.
 I wish, my brother editors would join me in admonshing MT. Sass to collect his poems and bring them out in book shape as beautiful as the memorial edi- ton of Timrod.

You must wear gloves to protect your knuckles Twisting the body around in both directions from the waist is good exercise for you. Leaning forward and then backward, as far as possible, also to the right and to the left, is good practice. Interlock the thumbs. and with the knees straight, bend forward until the tips of the fingers touch the floor. Rise to an upright position. with the arms above the head. Besides curing your dyspepsia, these athletics should expand your chest, put roses in your cheeks and grace and vigor in every motion. Don't say that you are too weak and breathless to take exercise. This is a delusion. The weakness and the quick and short res piration arise from want of exercise The less exercise one takes, the less one is fitted for and the more one needs It. Nerves will become disordered, the blood thick and sluggish and muscles will grow fiaccid without exercise.

 Congressman Cannon said to the mem- bers of the Hamilton Club: q am no speech-maker," and gave them a talk which did not touch on politics, states manship. statesmen or candidates, but which pleased his audience greatly. Thus Mark Antony set out by saying that he was no great orator, and then inflamed his hearers with his eloquence. The Con- gressman said
 I never wrote a speech in my life, and never but once used one that another man had written. I envy the man who can sit down in cold blood and achieve a thought, then dress it-put clothes on 1t. pants. coat. vest. shoes and collar. and turn it out in full attire. as Minerva sprouted from the brain of Jupiter.
 Stephen A. Douglas could not sit down and write a speech, but he was a man whom few of his compeers cared to tackle in debate. Members of the House of Representatives do not go out of their way to provoke a discussion with MT. Cannon. If he cannot think sitting down. with pen In his hand. he can think on his feet in the hurly- -burly of the House After all that is the more valuable ac- complishment of the two for the man who wishes to be a leader of legisla- tive body.
 One advantage Wnlcn the man Wno writes his speech has is that he can yer ity his quotations and dates. If Con- gressman Cannon had written the one he made on Saturday he would not have said: "lt was a beautiful sentiment the Master expressed when he said let not him boast that putteth on. but that he that putteth off the harness" That was not said by the Master. but by Ahab King of Israel. No doubt Mir. Cannon's parents made him read the Bible diligently when he was boy, but a chairman of the committee on appropriations is too busy man to continue steadily the studies of his youth. It is not entirely safe for man in public life to make Bible quo tation offhand, and yet if he does make a slip there may be nobody in the audi ence to note it. Probably there are few of the members of the Hamilton Club who are thoroughly informed about the history of Ahab. and the wise and fool ish things he said and did

!, 0arnitures of fruit and flowers for hair, yDorsags and evening gowns are present xrhe only touch of color given to some of che evening dresses is the floral trim sEning. A gown. otherwise scmbre. may lNzAim attention by its trimming of flow t1r, fruit and leaves: and beauty of face may be enhanced by a becoming coiffure which is crowned, not with a tiara of glitterfng gems. but with wreath, a half wreath or a clhster of autumn pro- ducts.
 All fruits and flowers are modish for tlss purpose, and it is an easy matter to keep these garnftures within the limits of perfect taste and individual choice.
 In the autumn clusters of the purple grape are wonderfully effective, both for hair and corsage. This is a fruit which has many patent virtues and beauties. It is a synonym of joy generosity and plen- tifulness, and is illustrative of grace and sculptured beauty. With the flowing eff fects now in vogue, the wreath of vine and dropping fruit is particularly appro- priate.
 Pauline Bonaparte, who enhanced her pagan loveliness by her cobwebby cos- fumes, her sandaled bare feet and bands of leopard skin, always wore grapes and vine leaves in her hair.
 Tn the early summer the most fragrant wreath with which a maiden can crown her tresses is one of grape blossoms. What in. all the world equals the frag- rance of this flower? Who has not won- dered at it and enjoyed its quivering faintness. rising up in minutest threads of odor like the very breath of heaven? ? Bacon, in his enumeration of fragrance, speaks of this perfume as ''the flower of Che vines"
 A chaplet of plums with leaves and ewags may be the unconventional head Nxess of beautiful woman who likes to do something out of the ordinary. Du- ring the recent London season. a woman of high degree appeared at a ball with a coiffure of this description. The ques- kfon arose whether the fruit was real, ana in the smoking room bets were made The woman herself refused to decide the uuestson,l but as the evening wore on and Ghe lewves eiirfveled, wagers were paid to khose who had bet in favor of genuine fruit.
 Haif-grown quinoes, with their leaves fashioned into q wreath, Is another con- eft. The golden fruit in the garden of khe Hesperides is supposed to have been nuinces. In confirmation of this, statues 0f Hercules, who was tempted to attack 2 fl1e dragon which guarded them, are rep resented with tho demi-god holding a utrance fin his hand as a trophy.

Remarkable Exhibit for St. Louis
 Fair.
Harper's Weekly.

When Columbus discovered America there stood in remote mountain gorge in Cherokee County. North Carolina. a tulip poplar tree that was then 400 years old. Flo rfour more centuries it grew and fourished. and was recently felled for ex- hibition at the St. Louis Worlds Fair. The tree was thirteen fet in diameter at the base when 1t was cut The gorge in which 1t grew as so inaccessible. being forty miles from a railroad. that it was impracticable to obtain a section near the base. Forty feet up. where the tree was little more than six feet in diame- ter. disk was cut. This has ben poll ished. and will occupy place in front of the hunters lodge. On the polished disk have been engraved the important his- torfcal evnts of the Old North State from the time that Sir Walter Raleigh took possession of the land in his sovereign's name on July 4. 1884. through the Colonial days. during the Revolution. and up to the present time. Another section of the tree will stand like a monument in the forestry exhibit. It is ten feet high. A portion has been dressed, polished and vanished while the lower portion is GOV. cred with the bark.

brunette, with deep rose in her cheeks, brilliant eyes. and a crown of giistenins tresses-the gorgeous dame of fashion.
 The pretty blonde, without much color and an oval face, should wear a fiat wreath of ivy or of autumnal leaves; or, if she has a gown of green chiffon, let her wear it over satin charmingly em- broidered in a design of hops and brown birds; and, further let her wear a wreath of the hop vine.
 Barberrtes, with their brilliant red bar. ries and brownish leaves, also make a charming decoration for gown, corsage and hair.
 Topples in the hair of the dazzling bru- | nette beauty magnify her charms, while | ner less favored sister may even make herself a picture. If she wears a cream white gown with a cluster of peoples in | her hair and another on her bodice The crapy white poppy, with flower and droop- | ing buds, Is for the golden-haired blonde too much gcrgeousness of color not being best suited to this type of beauty. The ''nut-brown mayde" cannot do bet

 geranium. Of the geranium, some one I has said Some are sad and others brii. I

 An exchange of the flowers and leaves | of the sweet-scented geranium is in some

 another gift of sweetmeats, and, If he be | poetical, sonnet to his lady's eyes or | eyebrows is also sent.
 Other flowers for a brunette are the
 brilliant cardinal flower, and the scarlet l lobelia. The purples and lavenders and | golden browns of the pansy also contract | effectively with raven-hued tresses Pan-

Oldest Clock in the World

From The Great Clock of Wells in Oc-
 tober St Nicholas
 The great clock of Wells Cathedral. in Somersetshire, England. is very nearly the oldest and certainly one of the most interesting of clocks in existence. It was built in 1922, by Peter Lightfoot. one of the monks of Glastonbury Abbey. six miles from Wells, where it ran for 250 years. until the abbey was dissolved bv Henry VIII. and its last abbot hanged over his own gateway. The clock was then removed to Well. where it has been running ever since.

 A puzzling fact Is that the walls of the intestines and the parasites often living on them are never digested by the fer ments that attack, destroy and trans- form the food. Frenzel, in 1891, sug. gested that protective anti-ferments are secreted by living tissues. In some late experiments, M. Weinland, French phy- siologist, sought to digest fibrine in tryp- sine or pepsin after first adding a little juice from intestinal worms, but the fer ment had no effect upon the fibrine in the. presence of the anti-ferment juice. It is thus proven that the juices secreted by and impregnating living tissues-instead of the tissues themselves-resist diges- ton. The anti-ferment extract is exceed. ingly powerful and retains its resisting power for months, but it loses it's proper ty on boiling.
 The war against malaria and mosoui- toes is to be fought out in tropical Afric,

The breeding places or the insects include wells, canoes. boats, lighters, barrels, tubs and various disus ,i household utensils, and grass-clogred street trenches.

 With a wide face, a high and broad coinure, is desirable. Therefore, a bunch of flowers or a rose nestling among puffs and fiufiness on the crown is better than wreath.
