if the Tree Falls, What of the Ivy!

if the Tree Falls, What of the Ivy?
 We hear great deal about the mod, ern girl developing mannishness, inde- pendence and losing her femininlty. A great many people are much alarmed because girls are not trained, as for. merly, in womanly gentleness. It is a beautiful figure of speech to descrlbs the feminine character as the ivy which clings to the masculine oak for support and in return covers and beau tifies its hideous knots and scars.
 But if the oak falls what becomes of the ivy?
 There Is too much of this ivy clinging and beautifying idea in training girls They should be taught that it Is just as necessary to be independent, to be self supporting, as to be able to cling and beautify. In other words, they ought to be able to stand alone if the tree falls and not go down with it. Success Magazine.

Most gleaners of the wonderful con- sider the leaning tower of Pisa to be something unique in architecture This Is an error, however, for there are two others in Italy and several in other European cities. The two at Bologna are the most remarkable. One of them is 321 feet in height and leans over six and half feet from the perpendic- ular, and the other Is 161 feet high and has "a lean" of over nine feet.

The astonishing abundance of flies during the latter part of the summer Is accounted for by the estimate made by an eminent entomologist that the progeny of single house fly in the course of one summer will number 2,0SO,320.

pronunciation of the Presidents Name.

Strange as it may be. since it is
spoken every day, if not every hour,
by people of every nation, tongue
and cline, comparatively few per-
sons give to the Presidents name its
correct pronunciation. Es-a right
here in Washington it is more com.

thing else, while its facetious twist In
to "Rosenfelt" ia not infrequent.
Among that class of persons who
make stagger at giving its proper
pronunciation it becomes Roosevelt
more often than anything else, though
Roosevelt is a close second. For
the several hundredth time within
the period of his occupancy of the
White House the President few
days ago tried to straighten out a
visitor ortheopicallp in respect of the
Presidential patronymic. He spelled
it out thus:
"Ro-zie,velt."
at is more nearly Ro.za-velt than
it is Ro-zie- welt, the President ex-
planned, patiently, "but if l should
syllable it that way for you and you
should follow by spelling in an effort
to convey to others the historically
correct pronunciation of my name,
somebody would be sure to give the
broad sound to the "a and make it

Made the Prayer OF his LIE.

An old man in Georgia. named Jack
Baldwin, having lost his hat in an old
dry well one day. hitched a rope to a
snag and let himself down. A wicked
wag named Neal came along just then,
and quietly detsching a bell from
Baldwin's old blind horse, approached
the well, bell in hand, and began q
ting-a-ling.
Jack thought the horse was coming,
and said, "Hang the old blind horse /;
he's coming this way, sure, aud he
amt got no more sense than to fall in
on me-whoa, Ball !"
The sound came closer.
"Great Jerusalem The old blind
fool will be right on top Of me in a
minuts-whoa, Ball Whoa, Ballr
Neal kicked little dirt on Jacks
head. and Jack began to pray:
ooh, Lord. have mercy on me-
whoa Balll-a poor sinner I'm gone
now-whoa Ball Our Father. who
art in-whoa, Ball. gee; whatll l

Ball Oh. Lord. you know was
baptized in Smiths mill.dam-whoa,
Ball Oh, upl Murder Whoa !"
Neal could hold in no longer, and
shouted laugh which might have
been heard two miles, which was about
as far as Jack chased him when he
got out.

A Tamil Parable.

A king had an unwise and reckless
son, go reckless that when all entreaty
and rebuke proved in vain, ne was
condemned to death. Still he was
allowed three months respite, in which
to prepare himself for death. After
this had passed, the father called him
again into his presence. But what a
change in the appearance OF the son !
His figure asabject, and his counten-
ance bore the traces of an entire In
ward Transformation. The king, see-
ing the change wrought in him by the
three months of looking forward to
death. promised him his freedom if he
would continue in this good path.
But the son, fearing that the many
temptations of the world would again
overcome him, preferred immediate
death. The father, however, gave him
a new commission. he caused ashell
to be filed to the brim with oil, gave
it to the young man and told him to
carry-it through all the streets of the
city. Two soldiers with drawn swords
followed him and these were com.
manded to kill him instantly if he
spilled even a drop. Happily the
son returned without having spilled
drop. Then the father asked him
what he had seen on the way, what
kind of shops, wares, people, animals,
etc. The son said he had seen moth
ing at all because he had kept his eyes
constantly on his important task.
Then the king said "Now, keep well
in mind what thou hast been forced
to learn in this hour. As the shell of
oil, so bear thy soul always IN thy
hands; direct thy thoughtsaway from
the distractions of sense and the things
of earth in which they are so easily
lost toward the eternal which alone
has. worth, and ever reflect that deaths
executioners follow at thy heels.
And the son hearkened and lived
happily.

A Zoo without a Cage.

Herr Carl Hageubsck's wonderful
geological gardens at Stettingen. near
Hamburg. Germany. of which much
has been heard during their three
years of construction, we're officially
opeLed the other day.
Though entirely a private enter
prise. this ZOO" contains the largest
collection of wild animals ever seen
in one place of the kind, and the de-
sign is unique. These important at.
fractions brought to the opening GER
emory a distinguished gathering of
Germans and the directors of most Of
the geological gardens of Europe.
1t is the daring arrangement of the
animals-held in the open air in cap
tivity of which there is no visible in
dication to ordinary observers--thst
makes the great impression. This
more scientific and humane treatment
is the outcome of fresh ideas conceived
by Mr.. Hsgenbeck in his observation
of the old.fashionsd zoos through
out the world.
Imagine park of 26 acres. You
enter by shaded avenue. Suddenly
a panoramic view of more than 600
members of the animal kingdom bursts
upon the vision. They are disposed
in laks and plain and in mountain
range; no houses, no restraining bars
or wire cages. On the spacious lake
Immediately in front 100 waterfowl

such as zsbras and buffsloes, disport.
Farthest away a range of artificial
mountains, displaying eight peaks, are
inhabited by mountain beasts, who
roam at will, SO it seems, but they
are safely confined to their definite
quarters by series of hidden bitches,
20 feet wide and II feet deep.
The most daring idea in the park
is, perhaps, an immense structure
formed of powders resembling tre-
mendous iceberg, At the base is a
basin for seals, sea lions, penguins.
cormorants and sea gulls. Above are
the polar bears. Visitors may mount
from one side to the top, obtaining
grand view of the entire 200, and
toboggsD down the other side of the
plain.
my idea" said Herr Hsgenbeck
to correspondent, "has been to erect
a zoo in perfectly natural manner,
Surely animals placed in the open are
of more educational value than when
housed and held behind iron bare.
1t has been the ambition of my life
to build ZOO after my own ideas;
here I have accomplished it. You zee

three years old; 7 Bengal tigers, "a

A Telltale Nall.

DIR. John Dome, the famous En-.
glish divine and poet, who lived in
the reign of James l., was a veritable
Sherlock Holmes in bent of mind.
he was walking in the churchyard
while grave was being dug, when
the sexton cast upa Wondering skull.
The doctor idly took it up, and, in
handling it, found headless nail
driven into it. This he managed to
take out and conceal in his handker-
chief. 1t was evident to him that
murder had been done. He ques-
toned the sexton and learned that
the skull was probably that of GER
tain man who was the proprietor of q
brandy shop and was a drunkard, be.
ing found dead in bed one morning
after night in which he had drunk
two quarts Of brandy.
"Had he wife? ?" asked the doc
tor.
eyes"
"What character does she bear ?"
"She bore very good character,
only the neighbors gossiped because
she married the day after her hus-
bands funeral. She still lives here"
The doctor soon called on the wo-
man. He asked for and received the
particulars of the death of her first
husband. Suddenly opening his hand
kerchief, he ehowed her the telltale
nail, asking in loud voice:
MADAM, do you know this nsil?"
The woman was so surprised that
she confessed and was tried and ex.
ecuted.

A Singing Hen.

Miss May Frick's Rhode Island hen,
"Queen Ann" known for miles
around as the singing chicken, burst
into song recently in front Of the
Methodist church and 30 amazed the
worshipers that the services were sus-
pended temporarily.
Queen Ann" is probably the most
extraordinary fowl that ever came
from an egg shell. She was one of a
brood of eleven Matched under tree
in which colony Of thrushes had
made their home, and filed the air
with their melody at early dawn.
The theory is that some prem atal
influence was exerted on the chick
before she broke through the shell
and that her unhenlike voice is the
result.
Queen Ann" does not "cluck'
like other hens. Tempted with few
grains Of rye, which she seems to pre-.
fer to corn, she will trill like cana
ry. The volume of sound is deeper
and not go shrill as that Of the yellow
feathered songster, but the gradua-
tons from the sharp staccato to the
long lsgato are perfect.
