Thanks to his diplomacy in coaxing
and wheedling, Hans German had at
last succeeded in gathering together
the theatrical troupe that was to bring
him fame and money in the wealthy
United States. 1t was with sigh of
relief that he heard the order to cast
off. as he stood on the deck of the
Rhineland in the midst of his assem-
bled company.
Meanwhile the company themselves
looked critically at each other. They
were quite well satisfied on the whole,
but there was one discordant note
amid the harmonious concert The
two leading ladies' declared war at the
very start
One, Fraulein Barcon, was tai and
thin, scarcely pretty, but, in her own
opinion, at least, her lack of flesh was
q mark of the greatest distinction,
ana she was prouder of it than
duchess of her quarterings. The 9TH
er. Fraulein Brussel, was the living
antithesis to her rival; short, plump,
solden-haired and extremely pretty.
she was as little like the naughty
duchess as possible. The reason for
their rivalry was not far to seek. All
the men of the troupe. including the
lapguishing darkeyed tenor, were
wildly in love with the pretty Brussel,
who, although she did not care a jot
for any of them. dangled them in pub
lie before the eyes of the lonely and
deserted Fraulein Barcon.
The journey was long and painful
one, ana Herr German uttered sec
ond heartfelt sigh when he finally
landed his company on the dock at
New Orleans. Then came the diff
Guilty of finding rooms for his large
family. Herr Germans sighs were
many before this was completed.
Fate, often a merry Jester. had des-
tined that pretty Fraulein Brussel
should be lodged with a certain Mr.
Wittson. director of funerals and a
cheerful undertaken. The little sing
ers gaiety was not lessened in the
least by meeting constantly the black
trappings and vehicles peculiar to her
landlords trade. A friendly relation
ship was soon established between
them and often after her meal Frau
lein Brussel would descend into the
little shop, transformed at such times
into reception room, and take part
in a game of cards, while her merry
bursts of laughter stirred the mortu-
ary wreaths hanging on the walls
The day of her first appearance in
America dawned bright and fair. Frau
lein Brussel felt no fear. 1t is inex
plicable how fate could have had the
courage to show herself so terrible to
such radiant little singer
Nevertheless, when she appeared in
the coquetish costume of the
Princess Eudoxia, with her plump lit
tie self encased in short rosy petit
coats, she was greeted with an out
burst of laughter and Kisses. The un-
plying audience paid no attention to
her good full voice and clever acting,
and the poor little operate star was
promptly quenched.
The night after the sad event, as
she sat alone weeping in her room,
she received call from her friendly
landlord.

honest funeral director, clasping his
hands in his wrath; you have been
the victim of a cruel catastrophe-a

Very Little Romance Connected With

at the Philadelphia County club about
golf in Scotland.

cable. As regards the financial aspects of the question. NJ. Peltereau makes an estimate of two hundred and fifty mill lions of francs for the probable cost of the tunnel. and of one thousand mil lions as the cost Of a bridge. The traffic between France and England in 1903. he says, represented a total of 100000 travellers. From the regular progression which has taken place be- tween 1880 to 1903 he concludes that in I191s at least 1.4ss.5s4 persons will cross the Channel, of whom S7O.O0a would use the railroad. As to the goods traffic, he estimates the annual tonnage at l. S75,O00, but admits that this problem is complicated by the uncertainty of fu- ture economic arrangements in both countries. He estimates for 1913 the total receipts from goods traffic at be- tween seventeen and eighteen million francs. and thinks that forty or fifty trains daily would be required to deal with the passenger and goods traffic at that date. The total annual expense of traction within the tunnel itself would be, according to his calculation, 2,SOO,OoO francs; and other costs would bring the annual expense up te 5,6OO,oOO francs.
 He estimates the net annual return at about 12,OOO.OOO francs. which would make the construction of the railroad financially remunerative.
 Formerly when there was talk of a tunnel between the two countries scared Englisihmen would write to the papers declaring that a tunnel would expose England to danger from it's enc

CHE Us ITO oR MORE

We do hope that the mayor will grant the very timely and reasonable request of the earnest gentlemen who ask for an investigation of Civil Ser vice Reform around here. To be sure, a police investigation is dragging its slow length along. and the public ap- petite for investigation is not as sharp as it was. or as it always ought to be. But next to new Charter there is no remedy for municipal wrongs and woes like an investigation. If one in vestigation is good os course two are twice as good. And if two can be kept going at the same time the effect is of course twice as benefcent as the effect of one. Therefore give us two or even more. There can't be too many. We notice with pleasure that that good and useful citizen, MT. Anthony Carroll, has already taken his custom ary and proper attitude toward the police investigation. We hope he will extend his interest and his attitude to the investigation of Civil Service Re form He knows, and he is willing to tell, which are two very valuable qual- tiles in an investigation. And when all is told we have faith to believe that Civil Service Reform will shine brighter and brighter. and go on shining even unto the perfect day. How can it help it with such polishing?

THE RoD AND rHG cnYLD.

''He that spareth his rod hateth his son." said Solomon, but Solomon, they now say, was only wise for his times, if he was really wise at all. Nowadays it is the fashion to rule children by love, or be ruled by them. Rather curiously, in the principal and most progressive city in this country, and perhaps in the world, they are now asking if Solomon was. after all, crank in his ideas about the treatment of children. The Board of Education in New York city has been confronted by an appeal to re- store corporal punishment in the pub lie schools A hearing was held on the matter, and this was followed by del- uge of pleas and remonstrances. Cor poral punishment was abolished in New York three decades ago, and when Brooklyn was annexed it's schools con formed to the same prohibition. It is Isaid, however, that over eighty per cent. of the school principals argue that they cannot control incorrigible pupils except by fear of the rod.
 Many useful men on whom the rod was not spared when they were young think it was good thing for them. But as the young now don't like or be- lieve in the rod it is not probable that there will soon be any general return Ito it's use.

STUDY THE ROBIN.

There are few of our wild birds more numerous or os wider general distri- hutton than the robin, and for this treason the robin is one of the very best birds for the nature student to begin on; he will be able to compare his notes with those Of his fellow students all over the country. Of course everybody can identify the robin, but even the leading ornithologists know compara- lively little about him. Ask one of them the average age to which the robin lives, whether the robins which Inested in his town last year are the same which are nesting there this year, Or any one of dozen simple questions, and you will get an idea of what splendid field for original research is presented in the life of even the best known of our wild creatures.
 The average person can devote but small portion of his time to the study of birds, and as the field of bird-study is practically limitless, his general knowledge of birds must necessarily be very, very limited. If however he chose to devote most of the time he has for this subject, to single species, by preference a common species, such as he would not have to waste much time in hunting for his chances of doing original. useful work would be good.
 It would be still better if number of people, the more the merrier, would

nAC0UR iGiNG.

There has lately been some worrying over the wood-pulp situation. It takes much wood-pulp1 to make the vast amount of paper into which wood pulp goes, and it has been perceived that something just as good" is needed if the supply of paper is to be kept abundant and cheap. So the news that the peat of the Irish bogs is to be used in the making of paper is en- couraging. It has been discovered that from peat, scientifically treated, excel lent paper can be made. As a result of this discovery mills for the manu- facture of paper from peat have been established in the little town of Cell bridge, outside Dublin. In other coun- tries, notably in Scandinavia, wood pulp is largely used in the manufac- ture of paper, but peat has never be- fore been used for that purpose, and these Irish mills are the only ones of their kind in Europe. Huge tanks are filled with the spongy peat, which, be- ing mixed with certain chemicals, is then boiled. It next goes through the process known as scarifying, by means of which the peat is teased and torn. From this it passes into the beating machine, where it is quickly transform led into pulp. From this pulp the paper lis made, and then glazed and cut into lengths. The paper is said to be of ex- .cellent quality, and, although the high CT grades of writing and printing pa per have not yet been attempted, it will be possible to turn out this class of work, also. The process of manufac- ture requires only twenty-four hours from the time the raw material is put into the tanks until the paper is taken from machines. These new mills stand on the bank of the river Liffey, whose waters supply the motive power for the electrical machinery by which they are driven.
 This is encouraging. Paper must be cheap is the many words are to be printed on it so that the people can see them. There are no indications that there is going to be a decrease in the number of words
