The Queen OF Siam.

Next to King Chulalongkorn. the
most powerful personality in Siam is
undoubtedly the queen, capable and
energetic woman, and altogether a
remarkable parsonage. The position
of women in Siam contrasts favorably
with that among other oriental peo-
pies. The ordinary woman possesses
such robust physique and erect bear
ing that stranger easily mistakes her
for man, especially as her hair is
short cropped and the dress of both
sexes very similar In the general busi-
ness of life the average Siamese
woman is often superior to the man:
she understands thoroughly economic
as well as domestic household affairs,
and enjoys a considerable share of
freedom. Polygamy is fast dying out
in the lower classes and gradually
decreasing among the rich. What is
peculiarly hopeful is the attitude of
both government and society toward
female education.

NEvADAvILLE SCHOOL NOTES.

grade, has quit school to move to Grip

Ample ink wells of the Ball Stopper"
style have been purchased for the gram
mar and intermediate grades. No more
evaporation of ink. or over loading of
pens with ink, hence fewer blots on
papers, desks and fioors-these are the
valuable features of the above inkwells
over the old full open top kind.
Seventh grade pupils are wrestling
successfully, and it might be said art
fully. with the algebraic portion of
Mines Progressive arithmetic which
was just recently adopted.
From an enrolment of twenty-eight
pupils in the primary grades eleven alb
sences were reported against them for
Friday afternoon. 1t looks as if the
half-holiday idea was gaining ground.
Build up in children during this part of
their school life, the idea that Friday
afternoon sessions are of but little i'm
portance. hence they might as well stay
at home, and you fasten upon them a
habit that will cling to them throughout
the school portion of their lives.
Knowing as most parents do, that this
state has an effective Compulsory Ed

evaded if anyone sees fit to invoke it;
understanding as large portion of par

all of it's agencies for good. exists pri-
marily for the pupils who attend it; and
seeing plainly as every person of worth
and sense ought to see, that the school
is the only institution that serves the
public in which the community as indi.
viduals share a common interest, that
being able to share such an interest in
common, it certainly will be well advised
to enquire into, and discuss the real at

The Time to Learn Singing.

Madame Mathilde Marchesi, the
eminent vocal teacher, writes in the
Ladies' Home Journal:
For young girls all vocal training
before they reach the 10th or 18th
year of age (and even then with great
caution) is a sin, and may spoil many
good voices before their normal de-
velopment. Young girls designed for
a vocal coreer, instead of singing,
ought to employ their time in learn
ing music, piano and languages, all
indispensable nowadays for good
singers to complete their education.
Flat singing proceeds, in general, from
the fatigue OF the larnyX."

LITERARY MECCA OF ENGLAND.
Famous Writers Who Lived in Twick.
enham-Tennyson's House.

The place to which the lover OF
English literature will sooner or
later turn his steps is Twickenham.
No other small town can boast of hav-
ing been the residence and beloved
abode of SO many famous literary
lights.
With 1t are associated the immortal
names of Pope. Horace Walpole,
Swift, Gay, Lady Wortley Montagu,
Gibbon, Boswell. Johnson. Tennyson
and Dickens. Surely this is enough
to make any place doubly immortal,
Twickenham was well nicknamed by
Horace Walpole the Baiae or Tivoli,
London what Baiae was to ancient
Rome-indeed in q far higher degree.
The big red brick house in Mont
pelier road where Alfred Tennyson
lived for so many years of his earlier
married life was the one in which
ten. Here his son Lionel, the second
Lord Tennyson. was born. and there
the author of the "Idyls" entertained
many of his literary friends and ac-
quaintances.
That house should surely be sacred
to all lovers of English literature
which saw the dawn of "In Memo
RAM" which witnessed those delight
full gatherings graced by Tennyson.

A story which to Western minds

from one of the northern ports. 1t
appears that among large quantity of
foodstuff consigned to the famine

result is that in some northern places
there is a glut of this commodity at

REMEDY FOR WRITER'S cRAMP.
Various Ways Of Overcoming Common
Inconvenience.


What an annoyance 1t Is to spread
all your writing materials out and set
tie down to a whole afternoon of let
ter writing, only to find after half an
hour that you have the writer's cramp.
After the first letter or two you give
1t up in despair, and the friends
who are waiting for letters are disap-
pointed.
This writer's cramp is serious mat
ter to people whose work requires
that they use pen very much, while
for the unaccustomed writer who
takes an afternoon off now and then
to catch up with her correspondence it
Is, to say the least, very discouraging.
The trouble is more than muscular in
this kind of cramp Very often low
nervous condition will cause it. Then
one should take it as warning that
the system is run down and needs gen.
eral toning up. Very often, however
the trouble is in the way you hold
your pen.
Children now in school are not like
ly to be troubled with writer's cramp
because they are being taught to
hold the pen lightly and make all
the movements from the arm instead
of the hand. The old-fashioned meth
cd which most of us learned, of hold
ing the pen between the thumb and
forefinger is also very likely to en-
courage a cramp. The muscles be-
come tense and hard, until finally they
contract so much that all control over
them is lost. The pen should be held
between the two first fingers. well up
toward the joint. The trouble may
often be relieved by putting the hand
and wrist into the hottest water one
can stand.

SIGN of Cold Winter.

One of the rarest birds in New Eng
land is here prophesying a cold, hard
winter. 1t is the red poll, a member
OF the big junco family of birds. Only
in the most severe weather does the
d-headed bird venture from the
frozen lands of the north, and, when
he does it always means a cold, Sc
we're winter. There are several focks
of the birds in the Felis, and bird

New Wire Invented.

A Partisan metallurgical engineer
claims to have perfected a process of
welding copper to steel wire so as to
make a noncorrosive coating Many
advantages, it is said, will result from
the use of this new wire, such as high
tensile strength and elasticity, com.
bined with smaller surface exposed to
wind and sleet than would be the case
with iron wire of the same conduc-
tivity This wire is especially useful
over long spans, as pole intervals may
be greater when it is used.-Engineer

Virginia May Quit.

Guthrie, KY, March 28.-Strained
relations between the Virginia and
Kentucky officers of the Planters
Protective Association will result in
the elimination of Virginia when the
association meets here April l. When
Virginia was taken in it was with
the understanding that the scale of
prices should be the same in both
States.
1t is claimed here that the Virginia
people maintain that it costs more to
raise tobacco in the Old Dominion,
and that here therefore they may
raise the association scale.
The Kentucky officials refused to
grant this. AS in no Virginia coun-
ty have so per cent. of the growers
signed the agreement the State can
not maintain the association anyhow
according to its rules. The relations
will probably be severed.
