that call up all the ghosts of youth

tones that evoke all phantom pain of

Pleasure and pain: they commingle

It is that music can move US more pro-

Brasseries of Paris.

There was a time says LIE Petit
Parisien, when the brasseries con-
stituted the rendezvous OF all the art
lists, writers and politicians of Paris.
This was SO during the last years of
the second empire and the first years
of the third republic. There is now
no literary brasserie. Here and there
in some cafe the disabled of. other
times, the failures" the waits of the
antique past, try to continue the tradi-
lions of art at the brasserie. But 1t is

PROBATION THEN MARRIAGE
Surprising Departure in Matrimonial
Alliance Instituted in
Texas.

In Texas, where people do surprising
and original things, the institution of
marriage after probation has been In
troduced, says the New York Mail.
The thing was started by a rich far
mer, who advertised for a wife, but
specified that the applicant should
serve as his housekeeper for a certain
length of time in order that he should
have a chance to prove her ability
and temper. 1t happened that the
farmer was satisfied with his first ap-
plicant and married the lady after a
brief period of housekeeping proba-
ton.
It is to be hoped that the pair will
live happy ever after. But the real
fact is that their probation" began
only after they were married. Mar
riage is an institution for which sue
cess in mere housekeeping is no test
at all. An excellent housekeeper may

D. K. Douglass, the defender, who
failed to win even one set in the chal-

the English woman had wrenched her

opinion of the English followers of the
sport that had their champion been In

preciating the apparent cloud on her
title, Miss Sutton has made her plans
to visit London and defend the cham

tournament on the Wimbledon courts.
Before sailing for England the Ameri-
can girl has arranged to compete ia
many of the eastern tournaments. In
this round of play she will be accom-
panied by at least two and possibly
three of her sisters, all of whom are
experts with the lawn tennis racquet.
1t is expected that Miss Florence SUIT

will surely contest In several of the
meetings in Philadelphia and vicinity

who plan to visit Philadelphia have
recently been playing in the early
tournaments on the Pacific coast,
notably those on the Coronado courts,
In which they came through 20 the

Of what the president of the largest
bank in Germany gets a year, and is
more than many American bankers re-
ceive for an entire year. But the
Cleveland claim that Lajoie's salary
Is the biggest is denied In cher
cities. Without furnishing the figures
to substaniate their assertions, Pitts
burg declares that Fred Clarke re-
ceives higher salary than that called
for In Lajois's contract, while the New
York Nationals maintain that John
McGraw, the scrappy one, IL better
paid than the Cleveland Frenchman,
and the New York Americans would
have the fans believe that Willie Keel
er Is paid close around $4,000 per sea-
son. There are other names famous in
baseball annals to conjure with, and it
Is declared by their partisans that
they also draw such princely stipends
that they hesitate to make the figures
public for fear of exciting national
envy. Certain 1t is that Jimmy Collins
gets his in large punches and so like
wise does Christy Mathewson and
Hans Wagner, not to mention several
others. That these baseball stars are
worth the money paid them Is shown
in two ways-first, in their playing
and managerial ability and second,
which is the meat in the egg to the
managers, their work drawing power.
Think of the effect the announcement
that Mathewson is to pitch has upon
the fans whose money supports the

All sailors are superstitious, and the

from phantom ships to spectral lights

by the fact that sea harpies are de-

according to Virgil they plundered

MINES BOTH HEAT AND COLD.

Nature Supplies Florist With CoaF
and Cold Storage.
A florist of Paramount, w. Va, gets
both heat and cold from the same:
mine.
In the engine room of his plant a.
tunnel four by four leads into coal
mine. 1t is provided with a track and
a train of cars, and thirteen carloads;
of coal is mined by the engineer every
day for the boiler.
In this same tunnel is the cold stor-
age plant: Not one pound of ice is
used by the florist, yet flowers go to
the customers in perfect condition.
The excavated chambers Of the
mine furnish ideal cold storage. The
little railroad runs through the green
houses and furnishes transportation
facilities for this department.
The temperature is never less than
45 degrees, never more than 48 de-
grees, and does not vary much at any
season. Cut flowers will keep per-
fectly for thirty days here.
IAN experiment was made with a.
dozen carnations. After fifteen days.
they were taken from the mine, COM
pared with like number of freshly
cut.flowers and found to be in perfect.
condition. When put aside they wilt
ed one day sooner than the fresh car
nations.
A ported plant ordered for a given
occasion may bloom too freely or too
soon, if sent to the mine it's growth
is arrested by the cold, even tenn
perature.
In another chamber were great
masses of Eastern lilies, tall and
serious Something symbolical Of the
Resurrection was suggested by the
sight.
Nothing more beautiful than the
chamber of cut flowers could be i'm
agined. Against layers of black coal
carnations in hosts lightened the
gloom. Here, too, was a heap of vio-
lets awaiting Easter morning.

The searchers for Franklin thor
oughly explored the district with the
result that many straits were found
that connected Davis and Bering
straits.
It was Capt. Mcclure who really dis
covered the feasibility of crossing from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, though he
himself did not succeed in completing
the transit. NJ.
Amundson, who is Norwegian and
a 'comrade OF Nansen, left Norway in
June, 1908. He had no intention of
seeking the North pole. His two goals
were completion of the Northwest
passage and an investigation Of the
magnetic pole.
In both he succeeded. The explorer
established his first base in Leopold
harbor, where he made absolute mag
netic observations during 1904. He es-
tablished his second base station on
King Williams island in the summer
of 1905, and erected self-registering in
struments.
His discovery of the magnetic pole
is of the highest Importance to naviga-
tors This part Of his work has inter-
ested scientists ever since the expedi-
ton was planned. Since Columbus, in
1892, first noted the various deviations
Of the magnetic compass from the true
north, scientists have tried, without
success, to find the reason for the vari-
atoms. Also, it has been disputed
whether the magnetic pole is station
airy, and it is expected that Capt. AM
nndsen's report will confirm the gen.
eral belief that this pole moves at
times.

thus be the only ship that has sailed
around America, and it is possible that
congress may act favorab1y on the
suggestion.

Impetus through the explorations Of

had sought in vain.
The outcome of his work was the
discovery of the Hudson strait and

none other than an inlet of the Pacific
