COLD WATER MUSIC.

This is very old amusement, but
only those who have tried it know
how much melody may lurk in a glass
of water. If you have eight thin tum-
blers of the same size and shape, you
may make musical scale quite cas-.
lily. Each tumbler contains a certain
amount of cold water more or less.
according to the volume of sound re-
CURED; this you may find out practi-
cally by dipping your finger in the
water and drawing it brisk1y round
and round the sharp outer rim of your
glass. This produces a musical note
The fuller the glass, the deeper the
note. The swift motion of the finger
round the edge produces a vibration
on the surface of the water, particu-
larly if the edge is thin and clean cut.
The glasses, with graduated amounts
of water, might be placed in regular
scale order on table covered with
both cloth and table felt At each
glass put performer with good ear
for music and steady, middle finger,
which is the best and strongest to
use. Each glass must be held firmly,
quite near the bottom so as not to
mar the sound, with the forefnger
and thumb of the left hand. In this
way all familiar airs may be produced
with some really sweet vibrations it
you know how to use your finger tG
the best advantage.-Washin

GOOD CHICKEN ADVICE.

Keep a close watch on the growing
chickens. They will be the egg-pro-
ducers next Winter and Spring. Watch
what they eat. If one seems stupid,
Lift it and put a little oil or grease
Oh the top of the head to kill any
head louise that may be there or under
the bill. The head louse bores into
the top of the chicks head and it
will soon be too weak to cope with
the agony, the lice produce. The oil
or grease kills the vermin at once.
1t is a wise precaution to grease any
and all chicks upon the head when
two days old, and two weeks old. II
any chicks show constipation make a
firm mash of olive oil and bran, Or
give a little oil from a spoon If they
show bowel trouble, feed boiled rice
or boiled milk. Do not be careless
in feeding green nor give them any
rotten stuffs. A little head of lettuce
that has been long in water and is a
little rotten in places will make a
whole pen ill in no time, and boiled
rice, will have to follow. Feed right
and right things will follow. Moth
ing can equal the dry chick feed scien
tificaily compounded by reliable peo
pie, and on sale at the supply houses
In mashes, however dry, a chick get:
| things he should not get. Cracked
corn is, not good for young chick:
and should be fed sparingly if at all

Although the oft expressed wish to see a performance of one of the many classical plays presented by his father has been steadily opposed by his par ents, eight -year-old Gibbs Mansfield, the only son of Mir. and Mrs. Richard Mans field, has written three acts of fve-aet drama entitled: 1.-The Adventures of Prince Marvel.
 The play is laid in the ehivalric pc riod, "when knighthood was in flow CT Master Mansfield not only pro poses to complete it, but will attempt, with his father $ consent, to stage the production before he reaches his teens.

GLOBE, March 27.--Logan X Bryan of New York say: Market closed irreg ular, and after opening of today lost the bullish tinge so pronounced yester- day. This easing off was perfectly nat ural. It would he surprising if market continued to maintain advancing prices after the sick spell through which we have passed. Professional selling and weakness in Erie had depressing effect but rates for call money showed much more hopeful condition and suggests better things. For time being we look for nervous market and think it advis- able to take profits on sharp bulges.
 Paine, Webber X Co. of Boston say: Market opened strong and active with advances of to 1 per cent in leading issues and continued strong up to with in last hour, when rumors of another likely advance tomorrow in rate of the Bank of France, realizing again set in. We hardly think there will be any raise either in the Bank of France or Bank of England rate tomorrow, and in view of heavy liquidation during the past week. money should be easier here after April l.

Joke on the Pope

Since the automatic piano was pre- sented to him, Pope Pius X, who is very fond of music, has been in the habit of having opcratie selections played during his dinner, which he gen erally partakes of with three or four of his confidential prelates. A few days ago he requested that the intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana be play ed, and the steward placed the roll bearing that name in the instrument. To tue great astonishment of the pope and prelates, the instrument struck up the " Marseillaise IL was promptly stopped by the mortified attendants. An investigation has been started by order of the pope to discover who is the prae. tieal joker Rome Gable to the New York World.

Judge Prince.

Judge Prince, of Anderson, is pre-
siding at this term of court, and he
does so with grace and dignity. In
deed he is an ornament to the bench.
His charge to the grand jury Monday
was the best ever delivered in the
court house here. A gem of oratory.
We are indeed sorry that space does
not permit Us giving a synopsis of
this charge in this weeks issue.
However, it viii appear next week,
and we beg, in advance, that our peo-
pie read it. Judge Prince is man of
pleasing and charming personality,
and enjoys the happy faculty of max
ing friends with all in whom he comes
in contact. Before he was elected to
the bench he was one Of the strong
est Members of the general assembly
of this State. Supreme court honors
has frequently been predicted for him
and it is to be hoped that he. will as
pire for place on the supreme bench,
for, indeed he would be an honor to
that body. Again we say that Judge
Prince is an ornament to tie bench Of
South Carolina.
