Being Useful.
From Harper's Bazaar.

That which some Of us who are poor do
not find easy Is this: To feel we may be Of
USE or that It's worth while to pray to be
made So when, in reality. we have SO little
to offer to friend or acquaintance. Some OF
us have to keep saying to ourselves: "Ev-
cry one has something to give. There's a
way for each to be useful" For instance.
I may be able to make better buttonhole
than you, but you may be able to write a
better letter. 1 may know more about ca
nary birds. you about gardening. You may
know best what child needs with Group. I
may know the best way of managing book
worms These things, then being So why
should not be useful to you about button
holes, canary birds and bookworms2 You
certainly are of great use to me about let
tiers, gardening and the cure of Group.

Early Days Of Famous Composer.

From the London Chronicle.
Signor Puccini. who has come to London
for change of air and scene, told a repre-
sentative of the Chronicle that when he
was writing his first opera, lie Vilh." he
lived four months on credit at little res
taurant called the Aida, in slum in Milan.
My dinner usually consisted of piece
of badly cooked meat and cup of more or
less sour wine. 1 can still recall in the
half-ashamed manner in which l used to
tell the waiter to chalk up the bill. and
then l sneaked out of the place because l
had no money for tip. And 1 can also
recollect my humble diggings, where I tried
to exist on the few francs week allowed
me by the government as charitypension.
Two or three Of us lived together, and we
often had to pawn our umbrellas and
overcoats and boots in order to get little
ready money for immediate requirements.

VICTIMS OF RACE RIOT
MANY HURT IN A ROW STARTED
OVER A TEN-CENF BET.

NEW YORK, August 5.-One man died
today as the result of race riot which
started yesterday over ten-cent bet on a
ball game. The dead man is John McCue,
a negro, who was badly beaten in the fight
with the whites. Over score of persons
are recovering today from injuries received
in the riot.
No further disorders as the result Of out
breaks of mob vengeance on the assailants
of women and children were reported to-
day. Many parents are keeping their chill
dren in doors, while in the east side, where
Katie Teitschler was maltreated and muir
dered, the thousands OF children who play
in the streets are under the watchful eyes
of mothers sitting at the windows and on
the doorsteps
The order given to all plan-clothes men
to give their whole attention to patrolllng
the streets indicates the seriousness of the
situation. The numerous attacks on chill
dren and the resulting morbidness develop
ed by investigation of the cases, the police
think, may develop a homicdal mania and
make itself manifest in further attacks and
assaults.
Innocent Man Beaten.
An innocent man, Louis Conconela, mis-
taken by the mob as the man it was hunt
ing, was beaten so badly yesterday that he
will probably die. George Kestner, q
bookbinder, Is in the hospital suffering from
injuries received at the hands Of g mob,
which tore his clothes from his back, and
was only saved from being hanged to q
lamppost by the timely arrival Of the po-
lice reserves.
The police believe that Kestner attempted

"To the Bitter End.v

One of the most interesting phases of the study of language is the peculiar manner in which words and phrases originating in mistakes finally grow into the common speech of the people. An instance of this is the expression ito the bitter end," which is common ly used to denote the final extremity of a crisis. Although perfectly proper today, it is in reality a mistake. The correct phrase is 'to the better end' and arose from the fact that when a vessel has paid out all her cable in a storm it has run out to the end which has been little used and therefore to the better end. Daniel Defoe uses the proper phrase in Robinson Crusoe" in his description of the storm at Yar- mouth when he says, we rode with two anchors ahead and the cables veer- ed out to the better end"

Indians and War Paint.

The Indians have tradition that tells how the custom of painting their faces originated. A certain big chief while hunting deer was chased by a lion and fell exhausted, calling upon the Big Bear, which Indians believe was the grandfather of man, to save him. The Big Bear heard and went to the mans assistance, scratching his foot and sprinkling the blood over him. No animal will eat bear or taste his blood, and when the lion smelled 1t he turned away. But in doing so he scratched some of the blood off the In- dian's face with his claw by accident When he found himself unhurt, the Indian was so thankful that he let the blood dry on his face. With the marks of the lions claws this gave the effect of stripes, and ever afterward when going on hunting expeditions for man or beast the Indian painted his face in stripes as a charm against danger.

A Cats Boardinq House,

A woman who had engaged board for two eats at an animal boarding house stopped at the desk on her way out and said "Oh, by the way, forgot something. What do you give your cats for Sunday dinner?' "The regu- lar fare" said the proprietor. "I would like you to make an exception in the case of my cats" said the woman. "They have been used to special dishes at home on Sunday. and I am sure they would miss them very much. I am willing to pay extra for the care and expense" That" grumbled tie animal man after acceding to her re- quest, ''is one of the peculiar phases of this business. Half the people patron izing a place of this kind insist upon our providing a few choice tidbits for the Sunday dinner of their pets. 1t is bound to ruin their digestion, but whenever there is clause in the con- tract to that effect special Sunday and holiday fare prevails. s."-Philadelphia Record

To Make Your Han cnrl.

A curious recipe for making the hair curl naturally" is given in an ancient household notebook and is as follows: "In the early spring, when the sap of the wild grapevine begins to flow, take a bottle to the woods and tie 1t under an incision made in the vine. through which the sap may drip, and leave it there till it is filled. The same subtle chemistry which curls the tendrils of the vine will act upon the hair and twist it into softer rings than the ubiq-
 uitous hot iron or any of the patent curriers' of the day. The sap should be allowed to ferment all it will before 1t Is corked. When ready for use it should
 be rubbed into the hair with a soft sponge" Q

LincoIn's Much Quoted Words.

Perhaps the most famous address ever made by President Lincoln Is the one that he delivered at the dedication of the soldiers monument on the battle field of Gettysburg, and the words most quoted from it are 'the govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people," This phrase was no doubt an unconscious quotation, for the same words were used by Theodore Parker in aD address to the Anti Slavery society May 13, 1854. Nor was the phrase original with Parker. Dan iel Webster in 1880 used the words "the peoples government, made for the people, made by the people and an- swerable to the people," And even be- fore Webster Chief Justice Marshall had expressed the same idea in similar phraseology.
