peeries Statue of Houston.

The statue of Gen. Sam Houston of
Texas, to be placed in the capitol at
Washington, of which Miss Elizabeth
Ney is the sculptor. is to be a dupli-
cate of the statue which has just
been finished and placed in the capi-
tol at Austin. This statue represents
Houston as an Indian at time when
he was living with the Cherokee tribe
after his self-banishment from Ten
nessee. Judge John II. Reagan. who
knew Houston intimately, is angry
over the Indian statue and in a letter
protests against its duplicate being
placed in the national capitol.

Experiments OF No Value.

Al eggs have parthenogenetic
te{dency. which. as Boveri demon
sfated at the last meeting of the Ger
Han Society of Naturalists and Ply
Scians. disappears through degenera-
ton of the controsoma. All that Prof.
Loeb of Chicago did was to show that
this parthenogenetic tendency could
be stimulated in sea urchins by nor
NAL salt solution. In certain infusor.a
the process of formulation consists
essentially In subtle osmosis be-
tween the sexes. The experiments of
Loeb did not create life. but simply
stimulated bisexual generation at the
expense of parthenogenesis. These
experiments. therefore. demonstrate
nothing as regards the cause of life.

ORIGIN OF NUNS HEADDREss.
FRS. Placed on Pretty Head by GAL
liant French King.

liant French Nlng.
Very few persons, says French
paper, know the origin of the head
dress which so many nuns wear. and
which hides so much of their faces.
1t was formerly the custom for con-
vents to send nuns to the various
cities and towns for the purpose of
collecting aims. and as rule two
nrss, one old and the other young,
went to each place. They wore small
caps, and were popularity known as
Swallows of Lent"
On certain Ash Wednesday two
of thu EN- succeeded in obtaining admis-
sion to the kings palace in Paris, and
though the monarch and his courtiers
were at dinner. they did not hesitate
to solicit aims from them. One of the
nuns was very pretty, and the young
mobiles who were feasting cast such
bold glances at her that she blushed
with shame whereupon the king rose
from the table. and. taking his nap
kin, folded 1t in two and placed in on
her head in such manner that 1t
concealed her bushes. Ever since
that day. 1t is said, this kind of head
dress has been worn by nuns.

Runnino as an Ar. and Exercise.

Running. like many other things, is
an art. 1t is seldom an Inspiration.
and to be performed properly should
be learned and practiced. bad, uu-

but It prevents a player doing the best
work of which she is capable ard
initiates against good plays as pow
erfully as anything can. A good, free
style. on the other hand. which entails
the full use of all proper muscles,

curity, with infinitely less exertion,

Moreover. 1t improves the carriage

Secretary Cortelyou is one of the
few remaining men in public life who
affect the pompadour style of brush
ing the hair. Fifteen or eighteen
years ago it seemed as If all mankind
had the pompadour craze. When
"Pompadour Jim" came on the stage
every sport that was n sport wore
his bristles rampant. The style is
very becoming to Cortelyou. 1t ena-
bles him in serious reflection to run
his fingers harrowlike over his head

CAcAo CULTURE.
It Promises to Be Profitable Industry
In the PHILIPPINES.

in the Philippines.
The Bureau of Insular Affairs. War
Department. has received from the
Philippine Bureau of Agriculture, a
bulletin on cacao culture in the Phil
ippine islands. The bulletin says
THE cacao grown in the Philippines
is of such excellent quality that there
Is keen rivalry among buyers to pro-
cure 1t at an advance of quite fifty per
cent. over the common grades of the
Java bean. notwithstanding the failure
of the local growers to process" or
cure the product In any way"
In parts of Mindanao and Negros, in
spite OF ill-treatment and no treat
ment, the plant exhibits luxuriance
of growth and wealth of productive
ness that demonstrate its entire fit
ness to be considered valuable crop
in these regions.
Recent statistics place the worlds
demand for cacao exclusive of local
consumption) at 200.000,000 pounds
valued at more than $50 900 gold.
There is, therefore, 1t is stated, little
danger of overproduction and conse-
quent low prices for many years to
come.
So far as known. the areas where
cacao prospers in the great equatorial
zone are small Cacao is cultivated
nearly everywhere in the archipelago.
1t is grown in several of the provinces
of Luzon, in Mindanao. Jolo. Basian,
Panaya. Negros, Cebu. Bohola and
Masbate. and its presence can be reas-
onably predicted upon the larger ISL
ands anywhere under an elevation of
1000 or possibly 200 meters.

Sest Use to Which Unused Room Can

If there Is an unused room In the

IL is to turn II into a gymnasium.
1t is not at all n difficult matter to
Mt up a gymnasium at home that will
answer all the requirements for gem
eral exercising and carry out the plan
of a regular gymnasium very well.
To begin with. there should be a
rug on the floor. This need not be
an expensive affair. One of the
cheaper sort will do. or rug manu-
fsctured from old carpet pieces. The
latter is very thick and would be ex-
celient for the purpose.
Very little apparatus is necessary
in n home gymnasium. as well select
cd exercises form its main stock of
usefulness However. wall pulls.
dumbells and lightweight Indian
clubs ought to be put in the room.
