lively small section of Kansas soil first
came into distinction when, on May 30,
1912, companies A and @ Of the LIST
dragons, under orders from the depart
ment Of war, marched to this point and
pitched their tents. The name Of Camp
Scott was applied by the soldiers, who
were under command of Captain Moore,
says the Kansas City Star.
In May, 1887, by an order Of Colonel
Zachary Taylor, military board of
commissioners consisting Of Colonel w.
S. Kearney and Captain Nathan Boone,
Of the First United States Dragons
was appointed to lay out a military
road from Fort Coffey, in the Cherokee
nation, to Fort Leavenworth and select
site for a new post, to be located
somewhere midway between the two
points for the accommodation Of the
garrison at Fort Wayne. The inclina-

was named by the soldiers themselves
and became permanent. When a town

name was changed from Camp Scott to

Singers Vanity.

Several Of the most popular singers
receive the same fee from the compan-
les that manufacture the talking ma
chimes that are so popular nowadays.
The highest sum is $4,000 yearly as a
retainer and large share of the gross
receipts from the sale Of the records.
This system has been found most profit
able, as the signers are then ambitious
to have their records as perfect as pos.
sible, and will sing until the result is
good enough to insure a large sale. All
records of the noted singers sell for the
same price. But an agent came to the
company the other day with a strange
request from a prima donna.
Madame wants to know" he ex-
planned, whether or not you won't raise
the price of her records just a little
higher than any Of the others. You can
make it only quarter more if you like.
because it is not on account of the
money. She only wants them higher
that the public may know they cost
more than any other singers"
Strangely enough, this appeal was not
granted.

A Stubborn EcIafr.

An amusing story is told Of a New
York man, growing out of his extreme
near-sightedness
Tho New Yorker, in company with
friends, was dining at a hotel in Flor
Ida. At dessert the near-sighted man
had considerably difficulty in removing
from the plate, passed him by the col
ored waiter, what he took to be a choc-
olate eclair. The New Yorker thrust his
fork under it and tried again and again
to pry it from the plate, but without
success.
Suddenly it dawned upon him that
his friends Were conyulsed with laugh
ter, which much surprised him, for he
saw nothing particularly humorous in
the situation. This surprise was turned
to establishment when the darby SER
vitor remarked in an apologize way.

HIGH PRICES FOR FRUIT,
What Europe Has to Pay for Prod

What Europe Has to Pay for Prod
net of Old World.
A Strassburg fruit importer showed
an American consul recently some early
peaches and French apples that were
selling readily at % cents each, says
the New York Herald.
''These apples" the consul states,
''were in no way superior to our finer
grades and not so large or attractive in
appearance. 1 asked him why he did
not import American apples and men,
toned several varieties superior to any
grown in Europe. The enterprising i'm
porter seemed glad to talk over the
matter and said he would import more
American apples if the exporters in
America would pack them properly. He
said that in several instances, owing to
poor packing in America and rough
handling at the German custom houses.
entire shipments had been spoiled. He
showed me box of apples packed
loosely and without having been
wrapped in paper which were entirely
worthless when they reached Strass-
burg
"The fruit importer felt sure Amer
lean fruit would arrive in good condi-
ton if proper attention were given it,
This winter one grocer sold a consign-
ment of inferior baldwin apples for 8
cents pound, and said he found a good
market for them on account of their
fine flavor.
There is a general complaint, how
ever, about apples packed In barrels,
especially from dealers who cater to
the better class Of trade It is claimed
that apples packed in barrels are more
or less bruised, and when exposed for
sale soon rot. If our exporters would
wrap fine apples, peaches, pears and
other fruit in tissue paper and pack
the fruit in fine excelsior, they could
capture the finer European trade and
the fruit would bring high prices. Many
American exporters are too Indifferent
to the advice given them by consuls
as to how merchandise should be pack
ed. They expect a barrel of apples
packed in Ohio to reach the consumer
in Germany in as good condition as if
sent to neighboring State'

Rome. He is an Austrian by birth and
an American by adoption, having been
born in the village Of Bregenz March g.,

16 and when he had finished the curric-
ulum in the Jesuit House of Studies
he was sent to the universities of
Munster and Bonn for the purpose Of
studying higher mathematics and as
tronomy, for which he showed an apti-
tude even before he entered the order.
He studied theology under the English
Jesuits, then came to this country in
1880. He was appointed director Of
Georgetown Observatory eight years
later.
This observatory was founded in
1S43, and up to the time of the civil
war much valuable work was done
there. In the war, however, the obser-
vatory was little used, and until Father
Hagen took charge was hardly more
than a department Of instruction. he
leaves it ranking among the first class
observatories of the country. Father
Hagen devoted his time at Georgetown
to stellar photography.
The accurate laws Of the variation
Of stars are credited to Father Hagen.
He has published an Atlas of Variable
Stars in five series, comprising 24O
charts and more than 10000 stars.
This work represents eighteen years of
observation by night and calculation by
day. When every other soul In the uni
versity was asleep Father Hagen would
be up in the observatory on certain
nights in different seasons of the wear
watching and studying the movements
OF the stellar system. Father Hagen an
pended to his atlas charts giving data
by means Of which the position Of vari-
able stars may be determined at any
epoch.
Besides the atlas Father Hagen has
published four volumes entitled "a
Synopsis Of Higher Mathematics" and
is now working on the remaining one
to complete the set He was one Of

Evidence Of a reaction from the OK
IRENE secularism Of public-school edu-
cation is afforded by the effort which
the leaders in the various denomina'
lions In New York City are making to
secure such a modification Of the school
regulations that the children may be
taught religion in the churches on one
afternoon a week. The plan proposed
does not involve the expenditure Of pub
lie money for unconditional instruction.
Neither does it contemplate the use Of
the public schoolhouses. All that is con-
templated Is the injection Of formal re-
ligious instruction into the period usu-
ally devoted to secular study, At re-
cent meeting held to discuss the project
it was indorsed by representative Bap-
lists, Congregationalists, Jews, Meth
odists, Presbyterians, Protestants, EpiS-
copalians and Roman Catholics. They
all agreed with the dictum Of the Ger
man philosopher that morality is the
substance Of society and that religion is
the substance of morality. One Of the
speakers remarked that he did not
think that enough had been done for
the children when they had received In
struction in the three RS. They needed
to be taught "three more important Rs
righteousness, reverence and RESPONSE
bility." This American movement, still
in its infancy, must be distinguished
from the English activity over religious
education. In England public money
has been used to teach UNCONVENTIONAL
religion, and there is a large body Of
persons who still think the money
should be so used. There is agreement
on both sides Of the ocean on the i'm
portance of religious instruction. Thus
far 1t has found chief expression here
in the adoption in various Sunday
schools of course Of study with writ
ten examinations.

TEACHES POLLY TO TALK.

that Polly can be made to talk. Tho
necessity Of this drudgery can be done
away with by placing a photograph
close to Polly's perch, and, by keeping
the talking machine repeating for hours
at a time the sentence which the par
rot is to learn. the best and quickest
results can be accomplished. In this
way the parrot will learn a sentence In
a week or less, while to become prof.
cient in a number of sentences requires
about six months. Those who have at

lects these impurities with the same IA
tai facility that is shown by a good fl
ter. Only, with the filter the clear
water stays away and the sponge full
of impurities remains to work deadly
harm. If the sponge owner uses soap,
the case is all the worse. Insoluble
curds Of lime soap are formed which
remain along with the impurities from
the water. The sponge will obviously
TEEN with potentialities for evil" Its
slime Is a prolific breeding ground for
micro organisms." Under these cir
cumstances, and especially considering
that the more we wash the greater our
peril, it is a real relief to be told ex-
actIy how to disinfect the sponge in
the most effective manner. Here are
the rules: First wash your sponge in
strong washing soda solution. Next
rinse 1t In a weak solution of hydro
ch1oric acid Then rinse 1t in pure
water. Then-this Is specially import
ant-squeeze it dry. Finally hang It
up for several hours In the suns rays.
We feel that we would not be doing
our duty If we did not shove this In
formation along, with the added advice
that unless each man personally disin-
fects his own sponge he never can be
sure that he has safely arrived beyond
reach Of harm.
