Cut glass makers explain why it is
that there are frequent reports of cut
glass suddenly breaking or crumbling
on a table, shelf or sideboard in homes
and elsewhere, although the glass was
not in use. They assert that whenever
the tone of any cut glass article comes
into contact with it's responsive chord
the life of the glass will go with the
tone, by which it is affected, and the
glass collapses or crumbles. 1t is on
record Il famous opera singer could
break cut glassware by reaching high
G In her singing. Several tests were
made in New York and Paris, and by
her singing she broke several pieces of
cut glassware. The tone of q violin If
attuned SO as to be in true accord with
cut glass will destroy it.

VEGETABLES and Eruifa-

The term vegetable has reference to
the whole or any part Of a plant cult
waited especially with reference to use
at the table. But the use Of tie word
vegetable doesn't always depend upon
cooking, for celery is n vegetable and
apples are fruit whether eaten raw or
cooked. one would suppose the toma.
to to be entitled 10 the term fruit. for
the method Of its raising resembles
that of fruit. But it is usually called
vegetable, whether eaten raw or cook
ed, in spite Of its appearance. The
ounce is 50 fruitlike in appearance,
so resembling apples, pears, etc, that
1t persists in being called fruit though
eaten only when cooked. Sometimes
the vegetable is a bud, as with cab
bages and brussels sprouts; leaves, as
spinach; stems above ground. rs 90.

"Hail ~COlumbia's" First Rendition.

Hail Columbia" was written in 179S
by Joseph Hopkinson when congress,
In session at Philadel. hla, was debat-
ing what attitude to assume in the
struggle between France and England.
Party feeling ran high, and the air
was ~surcharged with patriotic enthusi-
asm. a young actor in the city who
was about to have a benefit came to
HopkinsOn in despair and said that
twenty boxes remained unsold, and it
looked as if the proposed benefit would
prove 4 failure. If HOpkinson would
write him Il patriotic song adapted to
the tune of The Presidents March,"
then popular, it would save the day.
The following afternoon the song was
ready. 1t was duly advertised, the
house was packed, and in wild enthusi-
asm the song was encorcd and re-en-
cored.

One Side OF the Mouth.

Did YOU ever meet Il stranger who
talked from one side of his mouth,
usually in an undertone and with his
eyes wandering while talking? The
mans manner is not an indication that
he is weighing his words or has some
thing important to tell. 1t is almost a
sure sign that he has spent years in
Jail. This manner Of talking is ac-
quired in prison, whore conversation
among prisoners is prohibited and
where the men have to talk out of one
side Of their mouths in order to prevent
the keeper from noticing that ]cOnvcrsa-
ton is going on. The habit sticks to
the cOuyicts for years after they get
out.-New York Press.

The climate of the ~Tehuantepec 18TH

that Of Panama, being mild and health
full, writes Rene Bache in Technical
World Magazine. Coffee, cacao, to-
bacco, vanilla and sugar cane are
grown in the region, which has a pop
ulation of about 10000. The inhabit-
ants are hardy and industrious, those
Of the plains on the Pacific side being
descended from the ancient race Of the
Zapatecos and Boosting that they We're
never conquered by the Spaniards. 1t
Is said that the women of this race
have from time immemorial been able
TO maintain supremacy over the weak
er male sex, leaving the men at home
TO take care Of the house and children
while they carry heavy burdens TO
market on their heads. They are very
handsome, these women, and their M
tive costume is most artistic, including
a picturesque hcaddress.

the only town on the Northern Con.
per Country league circuit for which
the personnel Of the team for the COM
ing season has not been announced.
1t Is known that M. o. kid" Taylor,
last years second baseman for the
Giants. will captain and manage the
team, that he has made trip to Chi
cago and has signed in all about six
teen men. but that is the extent of
the information. which has emanated
from the Houghton camp. A stock
company is being fdlmed in Houghton
to take over the ownership of the
team, and enough funds will be sub
scribed to secure a team, which will
be likely to put Houghton in the run
ming.
Although the Houghton lineup is
not yet known, the fans may draw
some conclusions from the lists of
candidates for the Duluth, Winnipeg
and Calumet aggregations. One is
that the quality of ball in the league
will not be inferior to that of last
year. With but four teams in the
league, every town must furnish a
good attendance to make it a go and
the managers of the teams cannot
afford to give an inferior quality of
ball. The fans. of the four cities re-
presented have been educated to good
class G. baseball. and they would not
take kindly to an attempt to furnish
them anything else.

I For Contests.

The track squad of the university
reported for work last week and as
soon as the grounds are dry work will
be started In earnest. The prospects
for a good team are exceedingly
bright and with regular practice the

from present indications these events
will be we'll taken care of this year.
The Brookings meet comes of May
81 at Bookings. and Carleton will
probably. meet the ~" about May %.
This latter date is not definitely de-
cided upon. however. The first meet
to be pulled of at the ~" will be
the interdepartment meet. This meet
should bring out big bunch OF new
track men. The running track Is be-
ing put in shape and in short time
will be ready for practice work. A
sand covering will be put on the track
and then rolled. which will put 1t in
fine condition.
