Medals For Musicians

Those present at the Elgar Festival
Concert at Covent Garden were set
wondering as to the medals worn by
Nine. Clara Butt and Lloyd Chandos,
the same being more noticeable on the
gentleman's black coat than on the
lady's evening dress. The medal is
one presented by the Worshipful Com
pany of Musicians for the best must
clan Of year, and while instrumental
lists, composers, etc, can boast of its
possession only three vocalists have so
far been honored with its presentation.
viz, Nine. Clara Butt, Miss Muriel
Foster and Lloyd Chandos. The orig
inal medal presented was large one,
and in the case of the popular tenor re-
ferred to was taken away by burglars
at his house. The Worshipful Com
pany of Musicians then decided to
strike smaller one, TO be worn on all
special occasions BIZ the possesSors.-

The Most Absent-1rindea Ever.

Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton,
at dinner party was describing the
Observation-Disclosures of a certain mathe-
matician.
This man." he said, sis so absent
minded that once he walked along for
quarter of a mile in the gutter in
stead of on the sidewalk. He would
have kept on in the gutter indefinitely
had not the polished back of g brou-
CHAM that was drawn up before a shop
brought him to halt.
"The mathematician stopped within
a foot of the brougham. He looked at
the black, smooth, lustrous surface be-
fore him, and it suggested to his mind
blackboard. Accordingly he drew a
piece of chalk from his pocket and be-
gan to work out an abstruse problem.
ION and on he worked. covering the
carriage with figures, till finally it
started off. Still working, the mathe-
matician followed it; he held on to the
body with his left hand, and not until
the pace became too quick for him did
he realize that something was wrong.
Then he sighed, looked about him in
dazed way. pocketed his chalk and &C.
parted homeward."

Fast Time Around tho torn.

l. w. Lyon, of EnglewooI, N. J..
writes IF a voyage he made to San
Francisco in 1851 on the famous clip
per ship Flying Cloud. The ship was
commanded by Captain ]. Perkins
Greasy, of Marblehead. Mass. and the
voyage was made in eighty-n;ne days
and twenty-three hours. Afterward
the same captain made the trip in
elghty-nine days and thirteen hours,
which time has never been beaten.
Captain Greasy worked his crew for all
they were worth. One squally day he
set and took in the studding sails four
teen times. They saw land but once
on the first voyage, and that was Cane
Horn which they passed at a distance
of three miles.

How They learn Spanish.

Tourists in Nagasaki, Japan, are
often surprised to hear the sampan-
men and the rickshaw men in the
street shout Spanish words to white
passers-by; as, "hey, amigo (hey'
friend. or 'hombre," a common excla-
nation of attention, meaning man."
In the stores the statesmen also use
similar terms, as mo sabe." meaning
don't know" etc.
The explanation is simple. The Japs
themselves do not know that they are
using Spanish words; they believe
them English slang. They have
learned them from American soldiers
homeward bound from the Philippines.
The Yankee boys, used to employing
Spanish phrases in speaking to Fill
pinos, instinctively do the same with
the laps. forgetting that their LAM
guage is different.

A True scHooLMAsTeR.
One OF the Few sIen who Understand

One OF the Few 5Ien who Understand
the Heart OF a Boy.
There are too few men who under
stand truly all their lives the heart OF
a boy, and in that understanding can
guide him to his own development.
Such a man, says Mr.. Bryce, the au-
thor of Studies in Contemporary BIZ
ography," was Edward Bowen. for
many years assistant master at Har-
row.
He loved boys as he loved teaching.
He took them with him in the holidays
on walking tours. He kept up corre-
spondenee with many of his pupils af-
ter they left Harrow, and advised them
as occasion rose. To many of them he
remained through life the model whom
they desired to initiate. But he was
very chary of the exercise OF infiu-
enee.
"a boys character" ne wrote once,

sound Of mallet and trowel. What we
can do is to arrange matters so as to
give virtue her best chance. We can
tie easier; we can prevent tendencies
from poisoning into acts, and render
pitfalls visible. How much indirectly
and unconsciously we can do none but
the recording angel knows.

Antarctic Once Warmer.

Sir Clements Markham, President of
the Royal Geographical Society, re-
CARDS the results of the Scott antarctic
expedition as the most important of
any that has ever gone to the arctic or
antarctic regions. He says:

there was a warmer climate once in
that region than now. 1 Go not know

such industries as carriage and sledge
