HIGH=cLAss.

A well-known New York composer,
who had long felt the need of rep
utable firm of agents to undertake the
disposal of his compositions, read re-
Gently the advertisement of a bureau
which offered to place musical and
other manuscripts with publishers.
Their charges were fairly high, and
the advertisement stated expressly
that only work "of the highest grade"
was handled by the bureau. The
composer, thinking that this was
probably the opportunity he had been
looking for, sought the address given
in the advertisement. Entering the
Offices of the concern, he found the
manager, in his shirt sleeves, sitting
at a typewriter.

compositions for commission" in
CURED the composer.
That's right was the answer;
"but We only handle first-grade stuff"
"Do you suppose" continued the
composer, "you could place this Sane

She was of average height, wore

Their line of march lay along
peaceful street in south side sub

subway where the street ran under
tie elevated tracks of two or more

ebert HUBBARD'S
GLASS HOUSE.

People have scarcely made MP their
minds as to whether Elbert Hubbard
is a philosopher or a fakir. Certainly
he is seldom a fool.
Put
Elbertus makes some bad lapses.
Having no religion Of his own to
speak of, Hubbard delights himself
in poking at other peoples religion.
That is mistake.
The man who jabs at things SD sa-
cred as mans religion lays himself
liable To put it on critical grounds
alone, the destructive critic is always
in danger. No shrewd dialectican
ever will champion a negative. And
when you say another mans religion
is false or sham you are up against
it to prove that yours is better one.
OF late Mr.. Hubbard has been going
after the enthusiastically Mr..
Chapman and BILLY" Sunday, whom
he charges with being in the business
for revenue only.
Which, of course, invites attention
to Mr.. Hubbard's own style of graft.
Now
Simply because a man is engaged
in religious work, must he sl.rve or
go naked? 1t might easily be shown
that the two revivalsists mentioned
are able to make more money at other
business And what they ear,t they
are entitled to.
But
The main thing is this Some Of
their methods aside, methods that &c
an immense amount of good. Last
winter Mr.. Chapman cleaned up Den
yer morally as it was never cleaned
before. And "Billy" Sunday has liter
ally transformed the atmosphere Of
scores of towns.
Can Mr.. Hubbard point to any such
accomplishments?
These revivalists attack the citadel
of good citizenship-men's hearts.
They fight evil in low and high places.
They develop civic righteousness.
The fact is, the East Aurora philoso-
pher (no fakir) should infusc more
sweetness and light into this philoso-
ply.
He needs wider vision of tn
need for helpfulness.
And more charity in his heart.
This is a big world and its ways
are as wide as truth is plentiful, and
| there are a multitude of highways.
Give every man his elbow rooIi!

Modern Pioneers.

The best patrons of the public libra
ries are the Jews; the best patrons Of
the public schools are the Jews; the
best patrons Of the city and state col
leges and universities are the Jews.
And Of the Jews the best patrons of all
the means offered for education are
those who have recently escaped from
the bondage Of their European oppress-
ors. In this respect the Jews are to
this day what the western pioneers Of
the early nineteenth century were to
that day.
Those pioneers. with their indomita-
BILE passion for improvements, gave
this nation the tremendous forward
impetus which is still carrying it for
ward and which will contine to carry
1t forward despite the increasing num-
Der of full stomachs, supercillously ed
ucated descendants Of those pioneers
who are advocating culture" and
"aristocratic repose."
Keep your eye on our Jewish fellow
citizens. They are not in the habit of
getting too good for their business.
They give a wide berth to any scheme
that tends TO make a man less energet-
ic, less capable, less alert. Above all,
they don't put their business out OF
mind when they are amusing them

SIMULTANEOUS CHESS.


What is known as simultaneous
chess is a very popular recreation Of
the masters. In this as in blindfold
chess one man plays many games,
but with all the boards in sight. O..
S. Bernstein of Berlin recently en-
gagged sevenN-fve boards at one and
the same time. Pillsbury has en-
gagged as high as fifty. The strain
on the mind is not so great as in
blindfold chess, and the master,
walking around and around circles
of boards, is able to engage them,
one after another, with comparative
ease. Nevertheless, a highly special
lied mind is necessary for a success
full performance. Naturally such a
mind concentrated on one board dis
plays the most precise foresight, for
not only does the master know fair
ly well in advance just the kind Of
moves he will make throughout a
game, but his knowledge of its tech
nique enables him to divine the kind
of moves his opponent will make.
1t comes very near to mind reading.

STRAWBERRY TENT.

Three tents were erected.
one was placed over strawberries. This
tent was covered on the top and on
the south and west sides, leaving the
north and east sides open, except for
one breadth at the top. The cloth was
put on this tent June 3, just as the
berries were beginning to turn. The
weather proved unfavorable for such
test, for a great deal Of rainy and
cloudy weather followed, causing
large amount Of rot in all the straw
berries. There was too little sunshine,
even for those in the open field. Con-
sequently the results were unfavorable
rather than otherwise, so far as any
were observed, but the effect was very
slight at most. With hot, dry weather
at picking time the tent might prove
Of value.
A tent open on all sides, having mere
" a top cover and a single breadth Of
cloth on the sides near the top, was
used for cucumbers in comparison with
similar plants in the open ground. In
side the tent twenty-five vines, in seven
hills, survived the battle with the bugs
and reached bearing size. Outside the
tent twenty-nine plants, in seven hills,
survived. Thirteen fruits, weighing al
together two pounds and one and one
half ounces, were harvested on vines
inside the tent. Twenty-six fruits,
weighing nine pounds and two and
three-eighths ounces, were harvested
from the outside vines. The tent COW
ering seemed to prove Of no value in
wardlng of beetles or mildew. In fact,
the shaded plants seemed to be even
more badly diseased than those IN the
open. it was felt that with cucumbers
the tent must be left open TO permit
Of the blossoms being polllnated by in
sects.
In the experiment with lettuce, eel
cry and caulifower, a long tent was
used. divided into two sections. The
south section was entirely closed. The
north section was left open on the
north and east sides. AS the season
progressed it was observed that the
celery under the tent appeared better
than that outside 1t was lighter in
color more upright in growth, and the
stalks were decidedly longer.
When harvested in November the
celery from the open tent averaged %
per cent taller than that grown in the
open ground. and that from the closed
tent averaged 40 per cent taller. The
celery from the closed tent was better
in other ways. Not only were the
stalks longer. but the color was better
being more nearly blanched, and there
was less waste material in the shape OF
roots and leaves Plants outside Of the
tents suffered much more from early
frost than did those inside.
The flavor Of tie celery from the
closed tent was much superior to that
outside. That from the open tent
seemed to diner but little from thai
grown outside. In the matter of ten
/ derness very little difference was to be
observed The celery grown inside th'
closed tent seemed slightly more
stringy than that grown outside. 1t /.

Malinl Tnrned the Triok.

The entertainer known as Malini
recently performed some Of his card
tricks before a gathering which in
cluded the queen. At the close one
of the visitors asked Malini to tell
him how much money he had in his
pockets. "Tha, is easily DONE" re-

To allow of no deception Malini
was blndfo.ded, and at his request
the visitor placed all the money on
a table in full view of the specta-
tors. There was a dead silence for a
few seconds.
"You are quite sure it is all on the

Durability Of Wood.

Some interesting experiments have
been made to ascertain which wood
lasts the longest. 1t was found that
birch and aspen decayed in three
years, willow and chestnut in four
years, maple and red beech in five
years and elm and ash in seven
years. Oak, Scottish fir and Wey-
mouth pine decayed to the depth of
half an inch in seven years. Larch
and juniper were uninjured at the
end of seven years In situations so
free from moisture that they may
be practically called dry the dura-
bility Of timber is unlimited.
