To Save the Old sonxs,

A collector of old English folk song has recently struck gold mine in Som ersetshire. In one village alone, of 800 inhabitants. he found forty folk songs, none of which had ever been written down, while several go back at least three or four centuries. And he by no means considers the stock exhausted, but means to return to the same will Iage and save some more from possible oblivion, says the Baltimore Herald. For, of course, the death of one old peasant in any village may mean the loss of whole repertory of unpub- lished songs, and the idea of appealing to the local authorities to try to save old songs, as they already save old buildings, is fast gaining ground among folk song enthuaIaats.

"C1efman1a," New Fad of Collectors.

"ClefmaniR." New Fad of Collectors.
 "Clefmania" is comparatively mod ern form of the collecting craze, says the Chicago Tribune. It consists of an irresistible ambition to gather together keys of all sorts, sizes and shapes. One victim of the habit, a woman, openly confessed recently to having travelled over 100000 miles in pursuit of her hobby, during which time sine had ex- pended. entirely on keys, quite a re- spectacle fortune. Her collection com prises the key of the Nuremberg iron virgin, one said to have belonged to Cleopatra's jewel case, huge iron specimen from the Tower of London picked up in a Wardour street shop, the one that used to unlock Anne Hath away's cottage at Stratford-on-Avon and many others equally curious and interesting.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

From monologue to acrobatic com
 nly is the change Manager Poli has
 made in headliners for this week at
 the Jacques, Press Eldridge being suc- tceeded by the Four Rianos as the
 principal feature. These Rianos are famous European eccentric acrobats, Ewho have been making big sensa- stion in this country during the past gear and whose act is not alone ex- Hremely amusing, but somewhat sen Esational as well in the startling char Eacter of the feats they introduce. The fsplendid results that have attended Etheir work everywhere in this coun- sIry will doubtless be in evidence here, Sand the Rianos are sure to prove pop tlar as headliners. A second. fea- lure is presented by Harry Linton and the Sisters Lawrence in a comedy EEskit. labeled '."Ehree of Kind.'' sP ices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; after moons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

iong In Winter. When snow lies deep
 Ger field and hill. When shadows creep
 Ger heart and will, Oh, then rejoice, Lift up your eyes, And give glad voice, For winter flies And spring hastes on. % Dost hear her signs, Though skies are wan, Meath snow. and ice? List how the stream
 Sings as 1t flows, A summer dream
 Hidden heath snows. As darkest hour
 Comes just at dawn, As bloom fair flowers Tn lands forlorn, So winters chill
 And dreary skies Mean nearer still
 Springs paradise. ---New York Herald.

Careful investigation of reports that there is to be no river and harbor ap- propriation bill at this session and that Chairman Burton intends to resign his place at the head of the Rivers and Harbor Committee of the House, shows no foundation for such indications oth- CT than guesswork.
 ! Mir. Burton has given no definite in dication of his individual sentiment or purpose in the premises. It Is known that he has been discussed as fit ma- terial for the chairmanship of the House Appropriations Committee in the Fifty-ninth Congress. but for him to quit chairmanship of the Rivers and Harbors Committee in the closing days of a Congress Is regarded by the best informed persons. including members of the Committee. as absurd.
 A prominent Republican member of the Committee said tonight: We have been holding our meetings in ex- ecutive session and I do not feel at liberty to say what the Committee in-
