Shrine Of Schubert's Home.

The house in which Franz Schubert
was born has been purchased by the
city OF Vienna. An American writing
from that city says: THE house is
only one story high and has no attrac-
tive architectural features. but the
people here think that the price paid
for it--l05.o0 kronen-was well In
vested. The musical people who are
responsible for the movement which
ended in the purchase by the city say
that II will be visited by strangers as
much as the Goethe house in Frank
furt-on-the-Maine and eventually IL
will house a Schubert collection and
will be known as the Schubert mu-
scum"

view Is correct. as composing re-
quires time and heat: time allows
fCr the washing away OF soluble
plant food by rains, heat frees
and allows for the escape of nitro
gen in the shape of ammonia-the
most valuable part of the product.
The reason for this belief on the
part of some is that n better show
Ing Is sometimes made In growing
crops by the use OF the composted
product than with the newly-made
article. The reason OF this Is plain.
In the first place. the plant food IL

A Thrilling Adventure

BY Alice Boyce, Aged 10 Years, Carroll,
Ia. Blue.
Frank, Charles and Dick had decided to
go on an exploring expedition Saturday.
They started at 10 o'clock, taking their
dinner with them. They were almost
through the woods, when they came to an
old cave. Charles, spying 1t first. was
determined at once to enter. They planned
that Dick and Charles should enter the
cave and Frank should stay outside and
watch. The boys entered the cave well
supplied with matches. They wandered
on till they came to a narrow passage
which looked dark and dreary. Suddenly
they heard the sound Of gushing water
and the boys pushed onward I'LL they
could see the water gushing over the
rocks. AS they went closer they saw
what is known as an underground river.
Then they heard a laundering noise and,
running to the spot, saw that the earth
had caved in, blocking their -passageway.
"What was to be done?' The boys looked

Places of Interest in Foreign Lands

OF Middleburg I quote the following
from f. v. Lucas "A Wanderer in Hol-
and"
"Middleburg's best museum is itself. Its
streets and houses are a neyer-ending
pleasure. Something gladdens the eye at
every turn-a blue and yellow shutter, a
red and black shutter, a turret, a fat gable,
u knot Of country people, a fat iceland
baby. a milk can r~ivalling the sun, an old
woman's lace cap. a young woman's merry
mouth. In two respects only Is the town
unsatisfactory. and both are connected
with its streets. The liberty given to each
householder TO erect an iron fence across
the pavement at each limit OF his property
makes It necessary 70 walk in the street.
and the paving OF the road Is SO rough as
TO cause no slight suffering TO anyone In
thin boots.
1.-THE town has a municipal museum. too
largely given over 10 shells and stuffed
birds. but which contains also such human
relies as the wheel on which Admirsl de
Ruyter as a boy helped his father to make
rope. and also the first microscope and the
first telescope. both the work OF Zach
