The Virginia Summer School of Ar

me virginia CuflfuCT ochoo' VI 80 -
One OF the most interesting education
al features in Virginia this year is the
opening of the Summer School of Art, at
the University.
Two young and successful artists are
at the head Of this SCHOOL,. Graham
Cootes and Rae Sloan Bredin. Mr..
Cootes is himself Virginia man, aud
an A. NJ. of the University, and is fresh
from his work in the New York School
of Art.
Mr.. Bredin has been one of the instruc-
tors of the Chase Shinnecock Summer
School, is director Of the New Jersey
School of Art, and has also substituted
for VIM. Chase in his own work.
There is so little regular study of Art
done in the South, that the opening Of
this Summer School has attracted wide
spread interest, and many hope 1t will
become prominent feature of Virginia
education.
The work is planned after that of our
finest art centres, andis from life, with
good bit ofout-door work added, the won
derful Blue Ridge Mountains forming q
fitting background for sketches. The
pupils are enthusiastic, some being be-
ginners, while others have had training
in welI-known schools, and all seem de-
lighted tograsp this opportunity to work
in the summer under fine instructors. Add
to this the fact that the studios are in
the university buildings, and that The
school is surrounded by the beautiful aud
historic grounds hallowed by the memory
OF Jefferson, Monroe, and Americas
strange fitful genius Edgar Allen Poe
and we find an atmosphere that must be
helpful to both the students and instruc
tora of a school of art

 Better hurry up and get to your wife. She's in trouble" they yelled, and rode rapidly on, giving the troubled husband no time for questioning
 Le Count swung the heavy wagon wheel to his back and ran almost the en- tire distance to tSe place where he had left his wife, onH to find her placidly awaiting his return and much surprised at the speed with which he came. He was exhausted by the long run and at- tendant worry, but after a brief rest suc- ceeded in adjusting the wheel and drove on to Beaver City. But the young man never knew another we'll day.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 There is life and dash enough in the current show at the Jacques to please the most obstinate stickler for the best And there is an uncommon amount of novelty, which invests it with more than ordinary attractive ness. The Majestic Musical Four, who head the bill, have a novelty mus 1cal act in that all four men are CO., medians as well as musicians, and they are quite as adept in one line as in the other. It is this combination of comedy ability and musical skill that enables them to keep something doing all the time they are on the stage and to keep the audiences in a lively ,whiri all the time. There is another unique novelty that is at tracting much attention in the form of a head balancing and swinging act offered by the Jack Theo Trio, who are but recently over from Paris and who are presenting an act the like of which has never before been seen in America. The other acts are highly entertaining, too, among the contribu- tors being Dewitt, Burns and Tor rance. Chalk Saunders. the Brittons, Miss Daisy ,Dumont, Mcdonald and Huntington, and the electrograph, Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; after moons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Hybrid Fruit.

The plumcot is hybrid of the plum and apricot produced on the California ranch of MT. Luther Burbank, who has raised stoneless plums and prunes, white blackberries, daisies four inches across and amaryllis blossoms ten inches in diameter. The plumcot has the same general form of the apricot and the same outside appearance, but it is more highly colored than either a plum or an apricot. It has a soft skin and an indescribably delicious daVor.-Los Angeles Herald.

 T inflated the paper bag, went over to the egg crate, and began to pick. the eggs up, two at clip.
 Wait a minute, please said the just married young woman, who had fol- lowed me over to the crate. I want black hens eggs
 Black hens eggs? said I, standing up straight. How do you tell black hens eggs from any other kind?'
 Why, don't you know?' she asked me, with an innocent air. 'WhyEit is very easy, I'll show you give me the bag
 T handed her the paper bag. and she stopped over the crate and began to pick out eggs. She went over the whole top layer, picking out the very largest eggs in the crate. When she had got out the dozen of the big ones, she looked at me out of the corner of her merry eye, and said
 There-these are all black hens eggs. You can always tell them because they're the biggest, you know and then she gave me the cheerful chortle
 As it was new one and not so bad, at that, let her get by with it, of course. But you can't tell any groceryman or marketman in little old Washington these fairy tales about the rawness of just married young women in doing their table buying.

Dried Bananas.

Bananas dried contain their full aas vor and nutrition, and weigh but one ninth as much as in the bunch. It is proposed to evaporate them on large scale in the countries of their origin and so save cost in transportation, cold storage and loss by decay. Dried bananas are valuable as a substitute for flour, and unquestionably the ba- mana contains more nutriment than any other fruit

Music and the Hair.

Some one has drawn attention to the fact that music exercises an influence on the growth of the hair in a most curi- ous manner. Consistent playing for some years on metal instruments, the trombone in particular, will cause bald ness; while the playing of the piano, yie1in and violince1lo rather increases than otherwise the growth of the hair. Flute and claronet players are not sup- posed to be influenced either way.

Homing pigeons as carriers of mili- tary dispatches may by-and-by be su- perceded in America by bees.
