Music and stenographers.

'tMusic affects people in peculiar ways

music store. cat our place of business
we have four stenographers, whose
desks are in the same room with the
sheet music department. The girls, who
hear every piece Of music that is played
for customers, seem to be affected queer
ly by the different selections. For in
stance, if fast tune is played they'll
pound those typewriters like fury. II,
on the other hand, slow music is played
they'll write much more slowly. Ap-
parently they keep time with the piano,
unconsciously. The other day had just
started the girls to work on circular

heart for companionship upon dumb
animals. Although he kept only cats
about him, he treated all animals with
great kindness. Nothing hurt him

sTEADFAsT in AFFECTION.
Faithful Attention of the Chinese
Mother When Her Child
Is a Boy.

The Chinese mother is very fond of
her children. She is happy in their
company and spends much time caring
for them. In a Chinese family the
birth OF q child is a greater event than
with other orientals, states the nil-
grim. Long before the child is born
the mother performs rites and cere-
monies to propitiate the gods that her
child may be boy After birth the
little fellow is wrapped in old rags,
and in winter is sometimes put in a
bag Of sand sewed close around it's
neck to keep the little one warm. Great
rejoicing follows the birth if the child
Is boy; otherwise there is an air of
chastened disappointment. But good
Chinese parents make the best of their
little lassies becoming very fond and
even proud of them. I have known
more than one Chinese father to ex-
hibit his toddling wee girl for approx
al though always with the customary
national verbal depreciation of what
belongs to one. Indeed this evidence
Of excessive courtesy may be found
everywhere in this strange land. It is
good form to villify what is mine and
laud what is thine. my good-for-
nothing family are ell still troubling
the earth with their presence How
is your honorable family?"
The fact that Chinese custom has
become nodded into certain set forms
has misled many travellers. 1t is, for
instance, generally accepted custom
in this country that d gentleman shall
remove his hat when he meets lady
with whom he is acquainted, but a
Chinese visitor would fall into error
if ne assumed that this implied that
women, therefore, reduced men to So
cial servitude. So in China a woman
waits on her husband while he is eat
Ing, because it has been the custom
from time immemorial. In the same
way if they were travelling he would
walk beside the cart while she rode.
The education of their children is a
matter of no small interest to the af-
fectionate Chinese mothers. They
watch the little one from the day he
is born, to note superstitious signs.
Let him cry Justify, and he will live
long, say the old grannies. II he
teeths or walks to soon he will grow
up rnlovable in disposition. AT first
the little Chinese are not very attrac-
tive objects, presenting rather scaly
appearance, due to the custom of not
washing them lest they catch cold. A
month after his birth the boys head is
shaved. A great feast is prepared and
celebrated, the child now receiving his
"milk-name.." When he enters school
this name is changed. as it is once
more when he receives his degree.

Huelta was giant in strength. He

ALONE WITH PILOT DEAD.
Man in a Launch He Could Not Stop
Has Unpleasant Experience In
st. Clair River.

Detroit. Mich.-Afoat In a launch
with a corpse as his sole companion
and not knowing how to, stop the
speeding boat was the thrilling expert
ence of James Parker, OF Findley, O.,
in the north channel OF st. Clair river.
Mr.. Parker had been visiting Dennis
Gebeau, a well-known contractor at the
Flats, and Mr.. Gebeau was taking him
N his launch to Pearl Beach to catch
a car for Detroit. About two miles
below Pearl Beach Mr.. Gebeau turned
around to adjust something on the en-
CINE. When he turned to the wheel
again he suddenly collapsed. Mr..
Parker, who was seated in the stern OF
the boat, went forward to assist him,
but Gebeau expired almost instantly.
All this time the launch was speed
ing on. Mr.. Parker knew nothing OF
the workings Of the boat. It headed
for the rushes near shore and threaten
ed to run aground. The bewildered
man had seen his dead companion
work the wheel. He grasped it and
after a couple of turns learned which
way to. swing the boat. He succeeded
in getting the little craft into deep wa
ter. but was utterly ignorant as to how
to bring it to standstill.
Keeping the launch on q straight
course, Mr.. Parker came in sight OF
Pearl Beach in another half hour.
Again the predicament of stopping tho
launch stared him in the face, but he
was equal to the occasion. The boat
sped by Wardell's grocery, circled
around and came back, only to repeat
the performance. People in the store
were attracted by the strange actions
Of the boat and after it had made sew
eral more circles launch was sent out
to ascertain the trouble. All power was
turned on the second launch and after
an exciting chase the boat bearing the
corpse was overtaken. A man Chamber
ed on board and shut OF the engine,
after which the craft was towed
ashore. Heart disease is supposed to
have been the cause Of Mr.. Gebeau's
death.

followed by long peals Of thunder, add
ing to the terrifying display. The
clew lines showed that the men were
not handling the canvas. The mate
bawled aloft to the two sailors to
"avast and make fast" Their actions
were yeiled in blackness and rain, and
occasionally relieved by lightning

The sound of an angry man and
frightened man in combat reached the

partly clinging to the rigging on the
head. while Huelta was throwing his
whole strength, careless Of conse-
Quences to himself. into his blows,
which were aimed at the stomach of
his shipmate.
Darkness again shut out the view,
and the cries Of the wounded seaman
were heard above the storm. Nothing
had been done toward furling the up
per topsail, the barkentine was in
peril. and yet two more men must be
sent aloft to rescue Jansen and arrest
the bad man. Huelta climbed the
shrouds to the cross-trees. where he
stood, flourishing his scraper, ready to
strike down his shipmates.
Two men found Jansen lying across
the masthead bleeding from wounds
above the stomach. They carried him
down the rigging to the deck and he
was sent below.
II was much more trying task to
arrest Huelta. They prepared las

ana the other ii the lee rigging, kept
Huelta busy making passes a. them,
the man below lassoed both his feet.
Then with amarlinspikes they knocked
Huelta Oh his feet and lowered him
head downward over the topsail yard
to the deck, where the crew fell upon
him and bound him.
when the Mamie Swan arrived at
Nineteenth street, Jersey City, Jansen
was conveyed to hospital and Dep

that the motor is SO far pastime of the

in omnibuses is accustomed, is being
