Great sohemers.

These travelling men are great
schemers when it comes to getting
rooms assigned to them ahead of other
guests who registered first" said a
hotel clerk. "1here were several guests
on the waiting list for rooms yester-
day. One travelling man came up to
the desk holding his hand to his
stomach, saying he was so sick he
must have a room at once. He was
accommodated. In few minutes an
other travelling man who was among
the list of guests waiting for rooms,
came up and said he had boarded a
sleeper at o'clock In the morning and
tried to get some sleep, but that it ran
into an open switch and gave him such
a shaking up he couldn't sleep. He
said he was almost dead with exhaus-
ton and loss of sleep and must have
room at once. Hardly had he gone
to his room when third one came up
and said he, too, must have a room i'm
mediately. What do you suppose his
reason WASP He said a horse fell on
him the day before, and he thought he
was injured internally. kansas City

Parson BrownIow and the Democrats

Parson Brownow and the Democrats.
One of the famous retorts in history
occurred when Parson Brownlow was
war governor of Tennessee On one of
his journeys he attended service at
small Methodist church In the upper
part of the state. The parson was a
deyout Methodist and seldom allowed
his political rancor to interfere with
the charity of his religious faith. On
this occasion, being visiting clergy
man, he was placed In the amen cor.
ner'' near the pulpit. The local min.
lister was as ardently Democratic in
his views as Governor Brownlow was
Republican. In the prayer which fol
lowed the lengthy sermon the minister
began to call on the Lord for grace
for his favorites. God bless Felix
Grundy," he began. Parson Brownlow
moved uneasily in his seat but re-
sponded with a conscientious amen"
God bless Robert E. Lee" concluded
the preacher. A fainter amen" from
Parson Brownlow. God bless the
whole Democratic party" cried the
preacher, waxing In fervor as he pro
crossed. This was too much for the
governor With a bound he was on
his feet, shouting:
God forbid! 1t would bankrupt d.
vine grace and exhaust the whole plan

OF all hours of the day there is none
like the early morning for downright
good odors-the morning before eat
ing. Fresh from sleep and unclogged
with food mans senses cut like
knives. The whole world comes In
upon him. A still morning is best for
the mists and the moisture seem to re-
tain the odors which they have dis
titled through the night. Upon
breezy morning one is likely to get a
single predominant odor, as of clover
when the wind blows across a bayfield,
or of apple blossoms when the wind
comes through the orchard, but upon
perfectly still morning it is wonderful
how the odors arrange themselves In
upright strata, SO that one walking
passes through them as from room to
room in a marvellous temple of fra
grance.-American Magazine.

Music and Method.

The sane, healthy way to study the
piano is to apply ones thought direct
ly to the work laid out methodically by
the teacher for certain length of time
every day. That length of time de-
ponds entirely upon the future that the
student may decide upon. If he or
she take up music as a profession.
four hours daily should be given to
study; If as an amateur, two hours are
enough. In both cases the division of
time devoted to practice should be not
less than one hour.-I. j. Paderewski
in Strand Magazine

LOST RIVERS.
Streams That Mysteriously Disappear
Into the Earth.

Into the Earth.
In the great basin between the Rock
les and the Sierra Nevadas lie the
ghosts of many dead lakes Rivers still
flow down to the dry edges of these
one time great reservoirs and are
licked up by evaporation and the CHI
nook winds. OF all the lakes that once
lay there only Salt lake, Lake Tahoe
and Bear lake are left. The Southern
Pacific rolls for 1856 miles across the
bed of what was once Lake LahOntan.
and passengers gazing idly from the
windows may see the terraces and
wrinkles In the crust of the fossil lake
which nature destroyed ages ago.
Akin to these ghost lakes, says the
New York Sun, are the lost rivers of
the southwest, rivers that flow with
all the swiftness and clearness of other
streams near by, then disappear into
the earth as mysteriOusly as If they
were spirit streams. In the valley OF
the Rio Grande there are many little
rivers of this kind. Just south of San
ia Fe is the river HondO, which flows
broad and deep for many miles, then
suddenly spreads out over a sandy
plain and disappears.
A few hundred feet from where 1t
goes out of sight there is only sand as
dry as dust itself Some of these
streams end in tiny brackish lakes, but
most of them disappear in the sand
beds. On the coast of Mexico there
are clear water streams that discharge
into the gulf from underground chan
nels many feet below the level of the
sea, thought to be the same waters
that disappear farther up In the States.
In the valley between the Pecos and
the Rio Grande. beginning near Sandia
mountain, is the bed of an old river
with all It's tributaries, its falls, its
shadows and its fascinating bends. 1t
Is 300 miles long and many feet wide,
but it is only the ghost of a river, for
there is no water there. 1t passes by
the ruins of Gran Quivira, Its bed is
strewn with broken lava, and 1t ter
inmates in a salt marsh. The Indians
have legend that long ago the waters
were deep and swift there until one
day a great fire swept down the valley,
tapping up the waters, leaving the bed
empty, the banks barren and the val
ley desolate forevermore.
Crater lake, Oregon, is said to have
the greatest depth of any fresh water
lake in this country, its maximum
depth being 1896 feet. Lake Tahoe is
possibly next in the enterprising effort
to send water down to quench the fires
in the center of the earth, for the
measuring lead shows 1,645 feet there

THE little, old, country schoolhouse
near Stirling, in Morris County, is the
centre of justiiable excitement, at the
present time. 1t is In deplorable condi
ton. In small, one-story, three-room
building, not fit for any child to be In, are
crowded about 100 scholars. In one room,
20x22. are fifty-five boys and girls; in an
other of the same size are something like
seventy and third room accommodates
the rest.
There is bad ventilation, the windows
being the only opening through which
fresh air may be let in. The floor space
allotted to each pupil is about half that
which is required by the State law. and
the cubic air capacity of the rooms is far
below what both law and reasonable sani-
tation demand. With from fifty to seven
ty children studying hours at a time in
such rooms, under such conditions, Is it
any wonder that headaches, poor eyesight,
lung trouble and other ailments ensue
Isn't 1t marvel that any of the pupils
should escape disease resultant from these
unwholesome environments "A
The Stirling schoolhouse is not fair
sample of the country schoolhouses, but
there are, nevertheless. too many of the
same kind. Some have only single room
and this neither very clean nor very COM
Portable. In the winter time, when the
largest number of scholars: attend, hot
stove in the centre of the room gives off
intense heat and the windows and the
cracks in the floor let In intense cold, and
the mixture is supposed to provide COM
Portable conditions under which to obtain
an education
Under the present system in this State
the old-fashioned country schoolheuse is
passing away. Many hold it In very kind
ly remembrance. and sing pathetically of
THE Little, Old, Red 6choolhouse on the
Hill, but the sooner this hallowed but
unsanitary structure gives place to more
modern, more accommodating and more
hygienic buildings the better 1t will be-
The difficulty at Stirling is the same as
that In other localities which are partly
urban and partly rural. Those voters who
live In the strictly farming sections think
the taxes are high enough and the old
schoolhouse is good enough. 1t served
their purpose forty or fifty years ago, and
their children are no better than they
were. Hence they vote down any appro-
priation for new building They forget
that there are more children to-day than
there were fifty years ago, and that they
need more room, more ventilation and
better accommodation. In word, there
is just as much need of new schoolhouses
to day as there was when the present old
structure was first built. 1t is disgraceful
that any children in such State as New
Jersey, with $4,000. 900 Surplus funds in
its treasury and the riparian holdings not
all frittered away yet, should anywhere
lack proper. comfortable. sanitary school
accommodations, either In city or country.
