HAS FAMovs TITAN PAINTING.
St. Louis Man Claims Title to An
cient Portrait of st. Jerome.

st. Louis,-Edward Sells Of St.
Louis believes he has identified a
painting he purchased a year ago for
less than 500 as the famous "St.
Jerome" painted by Titan about 1881.
No trace of the painting has been had
since about 1929.
Sells purchased the picture from AL
lison K. Stewart, st. Louis mining
engineer, to whom it was given in
1900 by padre in the mountains of
Honduras after Stewart had given him
liberal offering of silver for his
poor.
In 1881 Titan Painted est Jer-
ONE" by order of Duke Frederigo Con
zaga of Mantua. Before 1929, when
Charles l. of England bought most of
the art treasures of the Gonzagas, the
"St. Jerome" had disappeared.
Upon investigation Sells has learned
that When Cortez conquered Honduras
early in the sixteenth century a mem.
Der of the Gonzaga family accom-
panied him and remained in Honduras
1t is Sells theory that the painting
was carried to Honduras by this man
Stewart obtained the picture in the
town of San Geronimo. of which St
Jerome was the patron saint
Sells has received letter from
Mrs. Julia Ady, an English biographei
of Titan, saying she believes he has
the Titan "St. Jerome"
The painting itself shows it is very
old. The canvas is hand made ant
filled with red clay, after the custom
OF the renaissance period. ST. Louis
artists say the painting bears sew

PUMPS BRING CLAY TO PARK.
Chicago Buys Odd Craft Because Con
tractors Bid Too High.

Chicago.-Rather than pay con.
tractors 80 cents a cubic yard for
work done on Lake Michigan for the
commissioners constructed a dredge
at q cost of $143,000 and will do their
own work at about ten cents a cubic
yard. They will sell the dredge when
the $1,000,000 park extension is COM
pleted-and they expect to have much
OF it in grass by next year.
The monster dredge has the ap-
Dearance of a battleship cleared for
action.
The battle ahead of the huge craft
is with the clay bottom of Lake
Michigan, which will be dug up and
pumped by hydraulic pressure to fill
in the mile-long Lincoln park exten-
sicr-a new playground for Chicago
that is expected to be completed with
in three years.
Working "a hours a day, every day
the weather permits of work on the
lake, the big Siece of machinery will
pump in soil at the rate of from 1000
to 1,5O0 cubic yards an hour to re-
claim what is now a waste of water.
The dredging boat. which is $50
feet long and about 35 feet wide. will
be anchored where it works by two
huge "spuds" As feet long. each of
which has a steel tip that weighs IL
tons The pipe through which the
clay and sand will be pumped is 30
inches in diameter. There is power
enough at hand to pump the material
through pipe three miles long, but
MI. Simmons said that it hardly
would be necessary to pump for more
than 1900 feet at any one point.

CHOICE OF TWO EVILS.
Request That Was by No Means a
Compliment for Papa.

A New York scientist, the father Of
a large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, SO the man of science went to
the rescue.
'T think can quiet little Flora" he
said. There's no use humming to her
in that silly way. What she wants is
real music The fact that used to
sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang
well, too, may make a difference"
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse OF
his song, when ring was heard. The
door was opened. and there stood a
girl of IA, who said:
I'm one of the family that's just
moved into the fiat next to yours
There's a sick person with us, and he
says, if it's all the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
of singing to it?"-Success.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much OF
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient

Senator MORGAN a Model.

Senator John T. Morgan, Of Ala
bama, occasionally writes magazine
articles which involve a great deal OF
research, but he uniformly refuses to
accept pay for them. In the course
of his career many railroad passes
have been offered him, but he never
accepted any either for himself or any
member of his family. Though over
so years old, he thinks nothing of
working half the night. The sena-
tor never haunts the departments
looking for jobs for constituents. OF
moderate means when he entered the
senate, he is now a poor man, having
little or nothing but his salary.

Wants the Rod Restored.

The Shanghai Times editor says:
The jail has been we'll administered,
but is fuller than 1t should be, due, I
fear, to the abolition of the cangue
and bamboo. The ordinary criminal
has no great objection to repeated
short visits to the jail, but shrinks
from repetition of corporal punish
ment. Punishment with the bamboo
is in vogue throughout China, and
here only has it by special edict been
abolished. We deprecate the Chinese
authorities making this settlement a
field for experiment, and will press
for the reintroduction of this salu-
tary method of punishment.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Tho Medicine That Makes Rich. Red
Blood and Performs Wonders -
Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why remedy that acts ON the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
It explains why DIR. Williams' Pinh
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
It is because Of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health Of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood b.
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but tho
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.

COLOR SENSE IN ANIMALS.
Possessed to High Degree by Some,
Especially by Birds.

A hypothesis that the sense of colors
is possessed to high degree by animals
and especially by birds furnished a
basis for some of the most beautiful
and fecund of the Darwinian theories
OF sexual selection. No Darwinist
doubts that the brilliant colors of male
birds are to attract the attention of the
female birds. and this presllpposes nat
urally on the part of these birds a fine
sense of color.
Wallace has asserted that to the fact
that certain plants bear fruit of bril-
liant col0rs is due their preservation
the animals, attracted by these colors,
break the fruits from the trees or
plants, carry them off and thus Indirect
ly assist in the dissemination OF the
seeds which they contain over large
tracts of land. And this function of
selection ON the part of animals pre-
supposes in them a certain sense of
color. Still. scientific documents in sup
port of these hypothesis are rare.
