MnmAn Changed Her blind.


Harry Williams and Miss Marie Ter
reau, winsome brunette were standing
before clergyman in Shreveport, L.,
for the purpose Of being married satur-
day, when it was found that Williams
had made mistake in the spelling OF
Miss Teureau's name in the marriage
license. Williams took the certificate to
the clerk of the court for correction.
Miss Teureau was chsgrined at the in
teruption OF the wedding, and believing
II to be an omen Of ill-luck, exercised
woman's privilege and changed her mind.
When Williams returned she told him
abe had decided not to become his wife,
but the wife of James Strothers, who had
been his rival. Strothers made no mis-
stake in his license, and is a happy
bridegroom.

Would Photograph Soul.

Henry Price, retired professor OF
music, of Mount Vernon, N. Y. believes
he has discovered process OF photo
graphing the soul, and he is trying to
obtain permission from the authorities at
Bellevue Hospital to make experiments
there. His plan is to photograph the
soul as 1t departs from the body with a
number of quick kodsks. 1t would be
impossible, he says, to hypnotize the
kodak, as it records many things not
visible to the naked eye. Price is OPP
posed to trying his experiments on con-
victs executed at Sing Sing prison, be-
cause he says that in his opinion the
strong electric current would kill the
soul. As yet the authorities have moi
taken up the experiment.

Great Musicians Eccentricities,

Dolls were the idols, after his be loved instruments, of Domenico Dra- gonetti, the king of the double bass. He had a huge collection of these pup pets dressed in various national cos. tunes, and wherever Dragonetti went the dolls were sure to go. That was only one of this eccentric genius pec,,l- iarities. He would never play unless his dog were in the orchestra, and no- body would have got note out Of him unless he had been permitted to sit in the orchestra next to the stage door. This was q rrecaution to enable him to save his wonderful instrument ill case of fire. The instrument itself he brought from the monastery of ST Pietro when on visit to VincenZa. and when he died he bequeathed it to St Marks, Venice to be used at solemn services.-London Standard.

INSTITUTE OF
 TECHNOLOGY

Boston, May 1S.-There ends to- day one of the sharpest contests for scholarship, travelling, that has been seen in Boston. It is the Institute of Technology, and as the award for the competition amounts to S1,200, it is not sur prising that the strife for the honor has been so severe. Candi- dates for the competition were re- ceived from regular and special classes, but they must have passed two consecutive years in the de- Dartment within the past thre years. The competition began April 12. It began with a sketch on logic, and all work had to be done in the department. The win her of the scholarship is expected to sail for Europe by Sept. l, 1907, and to remain abroad a complete year unless otherwise au- thorized.

Our Pygmy Ancestors.

The armor of the knights of the mid dle ages is too small for their modern descendants. Hamilton Smith record, that two Englishmen of average di- mensions found no suit large enoueli to fit either of them in the great eel lection of Sir Samuel Meyrick. H., head of the oriental saber will not ad init the English hand nor the bracelet of the Kaffir warrior the English arm The swords found in Roman tumull have handles inconveniently small. and the great mediaeval two handed sword is now supposed to have been used only for one or two blows at the first onset and then exchanged for a smal! CT one. The statements made by Ho- mer, Aristotle and Vitruvius represent six feet as high standard for ful! grown men, and the irrefutable eyi- dence of the ancient doorways, bc2- steads and tombs proves the averagn size of the race certainly not to haTo diminished in modern days-Londo,.

Hooking the Wary Trout.

Trout when hungry usually face saa current. This fact should be remeTs bered when approaching a bridge or eddy where the 'speckled beauties love to hide.' If possible, such spots should be approached upstream. It may take little more time to go around and come back up. but make haste slow ly'' is said to be the first axiom of trout fishing As the stream becomes warmer, the trout seek the cool pools and shaded places. They are to be found where cold spring bubbles up into the stream or where mountain creek enters Often number frequent the same haunt. Each additional fish means two more eyes to watch for the fisherman. One trout is all that is nee essary to give a danger signal by darting away. The rest immediately follow suit. To catch more than one or even that, in such a place takes skill in the use of the line But who has said that trout fishing is not an art?'Circle Magazine

Cochineaj.

Cochineal. so much used for coloring table jellies and also given to infants as domestic remedy for whoopins cough. is the whole insect of a class called coccus, but only the females are used. Why? Because the insects ars. captured by suffocating them with the smoke of fires below the trees on which they live, and as the males have wings. while the females have none, the gen tlemen take to flight when the atmos- phere becomes unpleasantly warm, leaving their ladies to their fate.
