STAKED HIS VIOLIN.
The Incident That Cured the Great
Paganni of Gambling.

Paganni Of Gambling.
When Nicolo Paganini was only fif
teen years of age, it is said, he left his
fathers house and plunged into a reck-
less life Of dissipation and gambling.
At times his losses at the gaming table
even compelled him to part with his
violin. This occurred at LeghOrn.
where he was billed for a concert. 4
resident French merchant and anna
teur NJ. Livron, hearing of his diem
ma, loaned him Joseph Guarnerius.
When Paganini went to return it after
the concert the enthusiastic Frenchman
exclaimed, Never shall my hands pro-
fame the instrument which yours have
touched!" and presented the violin to
the virtuoso This became Paganini's
favorite violin and is the one he left
to the city of Genoa, where it is eXhib-
tied in the municipal palace. The
threatened loss of this instrument
cured him Of gambling. According to
Paganini himself, his means had been
reduced at the gaming table to a few
francs, and he felt that he would be
obliged to accept standing offer for
his much priced Guarncrius, made to
him by prince who greatly coveted IT..
AS Il last desperate chance of saving
his precious violin he staked what lit
tie money he had left on one play and
won. But the risk he had run gave
him such a fright that he quit the gam
ing table for good and all.

CLEAN UP PLAN.
Boys Paid 25 Cents a Hundred For Tin
Cans In Trenton, Mo.

Boys Paid rs Cents Hundred For Tin
Cans In Trenton, Mo.
A novel enterprise for the promotion
of sentiment for civic Improvement
was recently fostcred by the Trenton
(AIo) Clean City club, Il local organiza-
ton backed by clubwomen in Trenton,
says the Kansas City Star. Partly to
get I'D Of the rubbish that adorned al
leys and streets and more to attract at
tcntion to the clean city movement the
club offered Trenton boys % cents Il
hundred for all old tin cans delivered
to a committee on the day appointed.
The cans We're received ut the most
prominent point in the towns business
section, and for hours the streets were
damned with boys, cans and specta-
tors. one hundred and thirty boys
brought in more than $4,000 cans and
received nearly 5000 in payment.
The club expects the tin can day to
be the pioneer event of general move
ment in smaller cities. Clubs in sew
eral other towns have already shown
u disposition to try the scheme, which
was an unqualified success.

pecuIarities of the Language of tho
Highland Scotch.
There are III Gaelic no neuter nouns.
They are all either masculine or femi-
nine. Sun, moon, star. tree, rock, stone,
etc, are feminine nouns; sky, air, bird,
fish, house, barn, etc, are masculine.
\ hill is masculine; Il mountain, femi-
nine. The ocean is masculine: the sea
IS feminine. Strange to say, the wor6
for "a female" Is a masculine noun
and the word for "a manServant' a
feminine. But these two curious ex-
ceptions stand practically alone.
In the construction of sentences
Gaelic is very different from English.
People who know enough about the
language to make dangerous use of it
will tell YOU for instance, that in
Gaelic you have to talk backward. BY
this is meant that you do not begin by
using the same word that you would
begin with in English. In Gaelic the
verb comes before the noun and the
noun before the adjective. Thus, IL
You We're going TO say "A wise man
shuns evil companions you would ar
range your words in this order: "ShunS
q man wise companions evil" This
way of putting the verb at the very
beginning of sentence is really bet
ter than having 1t follow the noun.
Being the word of the sentence, it
stands in its proper place. To the
highlander English is the language
that is Sn0kan hack " ard 10000

YOUNG STREET CLEANERS.
How BrookIins School Children Keep a

How Brooklins School Children Keep a
Neishborhood Free From Litter
The Pierce school in Brookline. Mass,
has solved the problem of Uttered
streets i'll So far as the children Of
that school are concerned.
At first an attempt was made at alb
stract teaching, says the Boston Tran.
script. but it was without effect. Then
something practical was devised. Each
EOom held an election and selected four
representatives for the Good Citizens
club, making about fifty in all
These met and selected ofiicSfs, di-
vided up the streets of the neighbOr
hood and assigned portion to each
grade making it absolutely responsible
for conditions in its territory. Waste
receptacleS We're needed, and the chill
dren interviewed the assistant super
intonlont Of streets and got them.
To keep M interest the teachers are
conducted by the various squads over
what they call their beats" Healthy
emulation has produced most desir-
able results.
Cleanliness and freedom from posi-
BILE conta%iOn made it necessary that
the children should not handle dirty
papers skins of fruit and other refuse
with their fingers, SO the manual train
iug teacher got some volunteers from
the club and collecting sticks were pre-
pared for the workers.
The results of the experiment are
manifest and many favorable com
ments have come in from citizens and
from the officials of the street depart
ment. School papers. which may easi-
iy be detected. are rarely found on the
streets. 1t is observed, however, that
refuse from other sources continues
about the same, and it is thought it
will probably remain so until adults
learn from the children or till the
younger generation takes the place of
the present careless one.
The principal Of the school says that
one thing is certain-the members Of
the Good Citizens club of that Pierce
school who have bent their backs 1000
times in the course Of single week
to pick up papers can never in the
whole course of their lives look upon
scattered papers in the streets with In
difference.
