POPULARITY OF SONGS
Some Of Our Catchy Airs Capture the
Hearts of All Europe.

1t is as hard to account for the popu-
larlty of certain tunes as 1t is for the
popularity of certain books, writes the
"Lounger" in the Critic. One time 1t
was "McGinty," whose adventures at
the bottom Of the sea took possession
Of the whistling and organ-grinding
world; later it was "Mr. Dooley;" now
It is "Hiawatha," which is described
as 'the mad melody that will not
stop" watha" has not yet
crossed the ocean; "Mr Dooley" has.
During the summer just passed 1
spent few weeks in North Wales.
While lying one day in the heather at
the top of mountain thousand feet
above the village of Penmaenmawr,
with nothing but the occasional note
of bird to break the silence, up from
the village below came the sound of
hand organ, and the strains Of Mr..
Dooley" were waited to the mountain
top. as there no escape from the all
pervading tune?" thought, as l
wandered farther back up the noun
tain to get rid of 1t, but all the way
I stepped in time to the music that l
thought had left behind me in New
York. Later in the season I crossed
over to Paris. One evening l was
driving back Of the open-air theaters
that line the Champs Elysees. Stop.
ping the carriage for moment I said
to Il friend who was with me, "Wait
minute and you will hear charac-
teristic French song" had scarcely
spoken the words when "Meester Doc
ley" floated out over the lanterns and
fairy lights" and above the noise of
the popping corks.

Insect Foes of Mankind,

When it comes to actual facts and
figures of the financial losses caused
by insect pests the published papers
and reports Of expert investigators
connected with our agricultural depart.
mcnt at Washington and our agricul-
tural stations elsewhere furnish the
chief and largest resource. The figures
given here are truly staggering in their
immensely. Thus we have 1t on the
authority of DR.. Howard that the ac-
tual money loss occasioned by insect
pests in this country every year Is not
less than $35,OO0,OOO. According to DR..
Howard the grasshopper pest which
visited large areas of the West in 1871
&c destroyed farm crops to the value
Of S10o,0000O0 in single season.

The Park street public school, the

Boy OF Fourteen Years Old Who Had

Boy Of Fourteen Years Old Who Had
Never Seen Other Children.
IBID you ever hear of n child or ever
know Of one yourself that had never
seen chld?" asked man who takes
an interest In the oddities. "Well,
have, and the case Is not a thousand
miles from New Orleans, either. The
child in this instance had rounded into
its fifteenth year before 1t had ever
laid eyes on another child. 1t had
never heard the musical prattle OF
companions other than the father and

since learning of this case what
must have been the impression of the
youngster when he gazed for the first
time on member of the human fam
lily smaller than he was. Did he think
he had come upon race of dwarfs?
Or had his parents given him some
idea of the existence of children? /

cannot answer these questions.
But l would like to know just how
the little fellow felt when he first be-
held child. 1t is the only case Of the
kind which has come TO nv knowledge
He had never had an opportunity to
play the little games which most of us
knew in the days of our childhood.
He had never gone through any of the
things which made young life sweet to
all of us fellows and, while not know
ing but what there may be compensat-
ing advantages in life Of this sort,
have always felt bit sorry for the
youngster in question.
Come to think of 1t, he missed a
few things one would like to forget,
for suppose most of US have felt the
rap Of the maternal slipper because Of
disobedience due directly to ones COM
panions. At any rate, we have always
cherished the idea that our companions
were in measure responsible for
many Of the raps we got. The child
who never knew child could not be
led astray in this way. So we do not
know but that the lack of companion

it."-New Orleans correspondence Chi

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Expected to Be a Most Interesting
Session.

London.-king Edward opened in
full state on February 2 what promises
10 be one of the most interesting and
important sessions of the British par
lament. Every nation in the world IS
concerned, and. upon the result, the
future policy OF the British nation
must largely depend. No government
of recent times has ever faced the
legislature under such altered cond!-
tons. Since parliament adjourned IN
June last not only has the cabinet
been entirely reconstructed, but party
ines have been completely brokes.
Seven different factions will take seals
in the house OF commons. namely:
The followers of Premier Balfour,
Gut who object to protection.
The Chamberlain party, who insist
that protection is necessary to the
United empire.
The out and out freetraders. VINO
are opposed to any tinkering with the
'ystem. The foregoing were formerly
known as unionists.
The liberals, though they were al
most to a man for free trade, are snit
INTO two definite fections. one fol.ow.

and insisting on home rule, and tho
other regarding Lord Rosebery as TIE
eader, and refusing to make homo
rule plank of their platform.
The labor party completes the triple
division OF the liberal free trade ranks.
John Redmond and the Irish party
makes the seventh faction. In view C
this complex state Of affairs, larger,
due to events since parliament lat
met. the most astute politicians sound.

DISTRIBUTED MONEY OFF HAND
Strange Man in New York Gives Out
$1,000 to the Needy.

A well dressed, distinguished look
ing man, who said he was Lewis
Strauss and was acting for the Worm
sers, bankers of New York, distributed
$1,000 recently to homeless hoboes
and boys in the streets of New York.
The money was in halves and quarters.
A policeman accompanied him down
Sixth avenue. The man went along
handing out coins to all who looked
needy. News of the distribution
spread far and wide and soon gang
of several hundred newsboys and
hoboes surrounded Strauss. He was
soon able to dispose of his supply of
coins; then he thanked the policeman
for his courtesy, boarded a car and
started down town. Isadore Wormser,
Jr. says he never heard of Strauss.
