Mr.. /. L. Kastner is about to publish through
the Clarendon Press a History OF French Vers-
hcatiOn." 1t promises to be an instructive vol
ume with much practical exploitation in it of
pOetical forms. Here are some of the authors
notes on the ro,ldeau and triolet:
Rondeau is simply a more modern form Of the
word rondel. just as peau is of pei, chapeau of
chapel. etc The rondel, rondeau, Is
so named because IL was originally intended
accompaniment to the dance called ronde
rondel. still surviving in the western provinces
Of France. in which the dancers Joined hands
and went round in a circle according to the time
OF the song, the soloist and chorus taking alter
rate parts. while minstrel not nfreQuently ac-
companied the whole song a kind of violin,
called the Viole. From the rondeau there
developed the so-called bergerette, which did
rot survive the first half of the sixteenth CEN
tCry- The triolet is nothing but ia
Yorite type of the early rondeau. Like
the rondesu, the ballade originally dance
song prov. bGidr-to dance). The chant
royal. chanson royale. is kind OF elaborate
and grandiose ballade addressed generally to
king a divinity. The virelai, chan
son baladee, also dance song, of which the
cider and correct name is vireli-the form wire
lai being due 20 a false etymology from virer
and lai-is nothing but a bergerette OF several
strOphes. The lai Hcrse laid was piece
OF music played on the harp or rotte "a kind of
harp. in accompaniment to a song Of lyric
character in Kettle language.

PLUckING SHEEP.

shearing Process Not Used In shet.
land ON Pure Bred Animals.
The pure bred sheep in Shetland are
not shorn, but plucked. The process
takes place generally In June, when
the fleece is "ripe" and the silky wool
can be pulled OF without pain.
This is called "rooipg' and is much
less damaging to the young fiber than
clipping with shears. The wool when
thus handled retains its peculiar soft
ness, SO that any one Of experience can
tell whether the material of knitted
article has been plucked or shorn. 1t
ripens first upon the neck and shoul'
ders, 80 that sheep half pulled resemble
in some sort a poodle that is clipped.
We must suppose that harsher han
ding prevailed at one time, for we read
that in 1913 the Scottish privy council
spoke of the custom as still kept up 'in
some remote and uncivil places" and
James I. wrote to tell them that it had
been put down in Ireland under penal
ty of fine. Upon this they passed an
act on March II, 1916, deploring the
destruction Of sheep thus caused and
imposing similar fines on those who
should persist in the practice.

Music Hath Charms.

Ignaz Pleyel, musician held in high
rcpute in his day and yiennese by
birth, was appointed kapellmeister at
Strassburg in 1888. During the trou-
bled times of tho French revolution he
lost his post, and his life was in grave
danger.
He escaped death and satisfied his &C.
cusers that he was not an ar1stocrat by
writing music to some most revolution
airy stapzas, which were placed before
him for the purpose, while beside stood
two gendarmes with fixed bayonets.
Another instance, proving that '.mu-
sic hath charms to soothe the savage
breast" is that Of Alessandro> Stradel-
la, an Italian composer Of the seven
teenth century, who carried off lady
named Ortensia from the home of no
bleman of high rank. Two assassins
who were hired to kill him followed
them to Rome. Entering church
where an oratorio Of his was being per-
formed, they were so moved by the mu-
sic that they warned Stradella Of his
danger and allowed him to escape.

The blouse bolero was also box plated

NOT SEEKING LEADERSHIP.
Senator German Denies He is Looking
For Political honors

Washington. Aug. 6.-Senator Cor
man, of Maryland. who is looming up
as a candidate for the democratic pres
idential nomination, came over to his
office in this city yesterday and re-
ceived the homage of large number of
friends and smaller fry politicians. who
We're eager to assure him of their sup
port. He received the friendly eN
pressions kindly, but maintained thru
out all the interviews the position taken
when he landed upon his return from
Europe. He does not advance himself
beyond the rank of high private, re-
peatedly parrying queries aimed to de-
velop his ambition with the statement
that he is n soldier IN the ranks. and
that interest in warfare of his party
must be above all personal ambition.
He reiterates the three issues of the
campaign-tariff reform, economy IN
public affairs and honesty in office.
THE campaign Is too far off to make
any positive statements" he said Il
can see, however. at this early date.
that rapid change is taking place
among the people with regard to the
beliefs and conditions of former years"
No amount of persuasion would in
duce the senator to discuss Bryan,
Cleveland or any other leaders who are
likely to contest with him for the lead
ership of his party.

The Tropic Home.

White mems homes in India, the
West Indies, west Africa and other
parts of the tropics to which civiliza-
ton has penetrated are usually run on
the principle of having as much air
and as little furniture as possible.
Carpets, rugs, cushions, hangings and
portieres are banished. Tables and
chairs are made Of light wickerwork,
bamboo or cane. The floors are pol
ished with cocoanut husks until they
become as slippery as good dancing
floor. Indeed, they are used for that
purpose nearly every evening in any
settlement where there is society. A
ball In the tropics requires no prepare
ton. After dinner it is only necessary
to move the light furniture to one cor
ner of the spacious room, send some
body to the piano and start dancing.
The ballroom is practically in the
open air, for wooden '.jalousies" form
most Of the wall space and are opened
like Venetian blinds to let in the cool
night breezes.

The seq of sahara.

French engineers have declared that
it is perfectly feasible to convert the
desert of Sahara into vast lake, thus
opening to commerce great regions of
the interior of Africa which can now
only be reached by long, TEDIOUS and
dangerous caravan journeys. They say
that large portion Of the desert lies
below the level Of the Atlantic and that
by digging canal to let in the waters
of the ocean the great change could be
effected easily and at cost which
would be small compared to the bene-
fits which would accrue. If the whole
desert lay below the level Of the Allan
tic the flooding Of it would create sea
more than four times as big as the Med
iterranean; but, as the Sahara iss COM
posed of elevated plateaus, mountain
ranges and depressfons, only part
would be covered with water when the
waves Of the ocean were let IN. and the
new sea thus formed would be an tr-
regular body of water probably OF
about the same size as the Mediterra-
mean. Great commercial cities would
at once spring up on its shores and
trade and civilization strike. at, once to
the heart Of Africa. The sea Of Sahara
may never become reality, but in any
event it is q gigantic and pleasing
dream.

The American Farmer.

When the American farmer rises ear
~ in the morning it is to look over
broad and fertile acres that are his
own. When he goes forth it is to fields
that no human being can lawfully step
upon without his consent. When he
gathers and gamers the harvest he
stores what in vast majority Of cases
no greedy and rapacious landlord can
take from him. 1t is all his. The pro-
ceeds Of it are to clothe and feed him
and his family and educate his chill
dren, to be the support Of his old age
and the heritage Of his posterty. Look
ed at from every point Of view, 1t is
doubtful If there is another human be-
ing under the heavens who has more
cause for carrying light heart and a
contented mind, for regarding the past
with satisfaction and the future with
hope, than the American farmer.-Kan-
sas City Journal.

st. Louis, Aug. 6.-One of the heav
duration, swept over St. Louis at 8
o'clock Wednesday being preceded by
a wind that in the western part of the
city, developed into a miniature twis-
ter which tore thru the worlds fair
grounds, killing Theodore Richter, Of
kirkwood. Tourist, probably fatally
injuring A. r. Clark, carpenter, seri-
ously injuring seven other workmen
on the worlds fair buildings and dam
aging other property turnout the city
to the extent of $4,000. The greatest
fury of the storm was felt at the
worlds fair grounds, where the cas-
ualties occurred.
At the worlds fair grounds the storm
swept from the southeast to the north
west in a miniature tornado. revolving
as it went. The agricultural building
stood in its path and six laborers who
We're on scaffolding were hurled to the
ground. The wind next struck the ma
chinery building and nine sets Of trus-
seS and timbers We're RACED.
Theodore Richter. a Tourist from
Kirkwood, a suburb, was on the ground
running to shelter when a flying plank
struck him, killing him instantly. One
of two towers. three hundred and six
ty feet high, was stripped Of scaffold-
ing in a twinkling, and two workmen
hurled to the ground in the debris.
Both escaped with severe bruises. De-
bris was blown against the staff-cov-
cred sides of the completed electricity
building and sections Of the staff was
torn away.
The worlds fair fire department
turned out and hastily dug the injured
men from the debris and hurried them
to the hospital.
A. r. Clark was so badly injured tina.
it is believed he will die.
The Missouri state building. the only
one of the six state buildings now in
the course of erection. that is not pro-
tected by trees, was damaged slightly.
