Why are genuine musical lprodigies COM

is undoubtedly the case that while of
course not every precocious musician
is heard of in maturer life, nearly every
great musician has in his time been a
prodigy. One need only instance Mo-
zart, Schubert, Haydn. Chopin, and
among executants of to-day Joachim

Joined the toy dealer. Il mean just what

"All these Christmas things which

MIGHT IMPROVE MATTERS.
Before They We're
Babies.

The woman who was bent on improv-
ing the race had explained matters with
great care. relates the Brooklyn Eagle.
THE trouble is" she said, that few
of us have proper training for our du.
ties. Our servants are not trained"
Yes. : said the girl, they ought to b.
trained"
Assuredly,," assented the woman
"They should be trained for their du'
ties before they undertake them. Their
our husbands are not trained"
Some OF them are," the girl de.
clared
After marriage" said the woman
But they should be trained before. A
man should be properly fitted to as
sumo family responsibilities before he
is permitted to assume them. 1t isn't
fair to expect his wife to train him."
Some wives seem to like it," sug-
gested the girl.
But it would be far better to have
them properly trained beforehand" in
sisted the woman
"Yes." admitted the girl, Husbands
ought to be trained"
And the wives ought to be trained"
Don't you think every girl is nat
ural born wife?' asked the girl.
mot exactly" replied the woman
still she comes nearer to that than to
being a natural born mother. believe
in preliminary training throughout, es-
pecially for motherhood 1t would make
lots less trouble in the world if mothers
were trained to be mothers before they
are mothers"
1t took the girl little time to grasp
this Then her face lighted up.
"Of course" she said; but don't you
think it would simplify matters if ba-
bies were trained to be babies tefore
they are babies?"

THE MOVEMENT OF SMELLS.
Some Odd Facts Relative to Odors
That Are Not Generally
Known.

u has been ascertained as the result OF
experiments conducted by Prof. Zoleny
OF the University of Minnesota. that the
dinusion of odors through the atmos-
phere is much slower than is commonly
supposed. The professor has investi-
gated this phenomenon experimentally,
and he finds that it takes the odor of
ammonia at least an hour and half to
make its way to the opposite end of a
glass tube about five feet long. With the
idea OF throwing some light on the char
acter of odors-that is. whether or not
they actually consist of tangible ply sical
particles of subatomic size, the expert
ment was tried of allowing the odors
to ascend and descend glass tubes and
noting the time of their diffusion.
One curious phenomenon noticed in
this connection is that the odor of cam
phor ascended twice as fast as it de-
scended, while ammonia diffused equally
rapidly in either direction. tits asserted
that it is the penetrating hydrogen sui
phite odor carried by slowly ascending
currents Of air that the vulture class OF
birds that feed on carrion are able to
locate their food. These birds are often
seen sailing round and round all day
long until finally, sometimes after the
lapse of two or three days. they have
been able to trace the smell OF their food
from great attitudes downward to its To-
cation on the ground.
As Prof. Moore declares, the distance
from which they come, often 100 miles,
and sometimes from an altitude of 10 eco
feet, give some idea of the gentle slope
of these so-called ascending currents
which are twisted and contorted into ev-
cry imaginable shape by the wind.'

PAPER TREE soRELYNEEDED
Manufacturers Must Find New Ma
tcrial to Supply the Grow
ing Demand.

Experiments in making wood pulp for
the manufacture Of paper are soon to be
begun by the department of agriculture
Secretary Wilson believes this to be a
most important matter, because the for
ests are rapidly being denuded of tim
Der thought suitable for wood pulp, states
the New York Herald. .
Already the experts of the bureau of
chemistry, under the direction of II. w.
Wiley, have demonstrated that pulp for
paper-making can be made from sew
eral other woods than spruce and pop
lar, and that many plants and shrubs
can be successfully used.
One of the chemists ct the department
has been in Maine making an irves-
tigation of methods in use there, The
experiments so far made, while DEM
onstrating that many varieties of trees
and shrubs are available for pulp-mak-
ing, show that their practicability for
commercial use is not known.
During the next year experimen!swih
be conducted with view 10 obtaining
all possible information When con-
clusions have been reached efforts will
be made to have pulp manufacturers
continue the departments experiments
on larger scale. -
Experiments have been made with cot
ton stalks, but while these make an ex-
cellent quality of paper, there are not
suficient stalks to make newsprint pa
per in commercial bulk. Bagasse. the
sugarcane after the juices have besn ex-
tracted, has also been used successfully
in the experiments, and has been
found to make a good pulp for paper,
but even this does not exist in -suf5cient
quantities to make paper.

MOTHER PAWNED HER SON.
Mexican Woman Raised Money on
Her Offspring When She
Needed Funds.

That human beings can be pawned
the same as pair of shoes. has been
demonstrated by woman named Elena
Davalos. who, whenever she was short
OF funds, and this happened very fre-
quently. pawned her eight-year-old SON
francisco, for sums ranging between
five dollars and eight dollars, relates the
Mexican Herald.
For time she used to pawn her off
spring with come neighbors. who used
the little boy as a servant until he was
redeemed. and paid him nothing for his
services, but exacted high interest for
their money invested on the operation.
More recently she found a Spanish
pawnbroker, who lent her money on hen
son and also used him as mozo and
eventually as clerk in his shop.
A few days ago the woman redeemed
her son from the pawnbroker. but SUBJ
sequently found herself without money
again, and pawned the boy with a
woman named Dolores Garcia, who
loaned the mother ten dollars.
With this Elena went to visit a number
OF shops and taverns, and when she had
spent half the money received. she called
upon Dolores and urged that her son be
given back to her. A quarrel ensued. a
gendarme intervened. and the whole af-
fair was disclosed at the Third police
station.
Now the two women are in Belem,
and the boy has been sent to an orphan
asylum. AS this offense is not forseen in
any code, it is not known what penalty
will be applied to the mother of the boy
and to the woman that loaned money oD
him.
