Interested in one particular case. an expansive gentleman waited upon the secretary. said everything necessary must be done at any cost. and handed over a blank check. What am to do with this?" said the lady. Pay whatever expense you are put to-" replied the donor. By way of a test the lady called at the bank named on the face of the draft and asked whether it would be honored if filled in and presented. The banker was reticent: such information was never given, to ask it was unusual.

Farms Long Under Irriaation.

Frank N Meyer, the scientific eX. plorer for the government, in his re cent penetration of China, saw farms before Columbus discovered America. To the credit of the pagan priests, be it said, all forms of plant and tree growth were cherished and encOur- 2ged around the temples. The priests gave Meyer what information they
 could. The extent to which forest devastation has gone in China can be inferred from the fact that the Chi

DOdIuS lTIudy IVCusuY' G<Iit
"Strongheart," the now famous comedy
drama which comes to the Grand theater
on Friday evening, January 10, with
Ralph Stuart in the title role, will prob
ably prove the real dramatic treat of the
season, as the play is noteworthy in
every way.
"Strongheart" tells the story OF All
educated, full-booded Indian who has
been sent by his tribe to Columbia Uni.
versity in New York for an education
viii b will help him in future years TO
better the condition of his race, as he is
himself one day to become their chief.
While learning the white mans waye.
he becomes a champion on the gridiron,
the favoaite in their sports and fraterni-
ties, is introduced into their homes and
becomes one Of themselves, but he falls
in love with the sister OF his chum, but
because of his race, he is practically
ostracized from their set. His fight to
place himself On basis OF social equality
with that OF his white brothers is said to
be one of the best scenes ever written
into drama. The theme. although a
serious one, is set against background
OF college life. which gives ample oppor-
tunity for genuine comedy, Of which the
play is full.

Hold Your Saucer Correctly.

Did you know that there is cor
rect and an incorrect way to hold the
saucer in which your teacup rests!
The correctness consists in whether or
not it is held gracefully Watch the
women at an afternoon tea. and you
will see that not all, indeed few, han,
die the cup and saucer in the most en-
gaging way. Here is the secret: In
stead of holding the saucer with the
four fingers placed beneath it and the
thumb above the rim, as nearly every
woman does, form a half circle with
the thumb and first finger, clasping
the saucer in it and giving a slight
support from below with the third and
fourth fingers. A woman who does
this may have the largest hands in the
room, but they will appear the most
graceful and charmingly managed.

nized as alone in exclusiveness It's
originatOrs decided that the number of
decorations conferred by 1t should new.
er exceed fifty, Of which twenty-five
should be given to Italians and TWEEN
ty-tive to foreigners.
In more than three centuries but
eight persons have received the medal,
Nine. Blauvelt being the eighth and
the first English speaking person to re-
ceive this most signal recognition of
musical talent. The events leading up
to this presentation are of interest.
Nine. Blauvelt was studying in Rome
in 1897 when q great musical event
was announced, the singing of the Yer
di requiem under the direction of the
Royal Academy Of st. Cecilia. In the
quartet were Marconi, the tenor; Ma
netti, the basso, and Falchi, the con
tralto. To find a suitable soprano
seemed impossible.
Nine. Blauvelt volunteered to sing
the role. She learned the entire part
in Latin with the music and sang 1t
SO gloriously that musical Rome was
at her feet. She received q wonderful
ovation, and when a few years later
she returned to sing again in the an
cient city her previous performance
was remembered, and a remarkable
demonstration took place in her hon
or. 1t was at this appearance that 1t
was decided to present her with the
medal Of the Royal Order Of st. Ceci-
Lin, and few months ago she received
the coveted distinction, which she now
prizes above every other recognition.

An Apology For tho Irritable.

In an age when every one has an in
alienable right to nerves most Of us
have had reason to notice and to de-
plore the relentlessness with which IT.
ritability is punished. Other more
fundamental failings come off better.
Untldiness is recognized as the fault
Of romanticists, poets and the whole
crew Of vague, lovable idealists. Who
has not loved pleasant, large souled
Mar? Even selfishness may warm a
relation and give 1t tenderer scope.
But against irritation friendship, fam
lily affection and even love have hard
work to bear up.
This state Of things is particularly
unfortunate, for the casual stranger
does not play upon this weakness as
much as our own nearest and dearest,
and our own nearest and dearest are
precisely the people who find it hard
est to forgive, for under its different
guises-the patiently overstrained, the
carefully explanatory and, of course.
the simply eXplosive-the same 'sug-
gestion of hostility and criticism is evil
dent, a suggestion particularly trying
to those who love us.
How pale you arew says a mother
to her son, and is surprised at the an
tagonism her solicitude rouses. She
explains it to herself as an example of
the robust, masculine spirit. 1t is
nothing Of the kind. The young man,
recognizing in himself an unlimited
capacity for worrying over his health,
offers under the guise of anger pray
err to his mother not to play into the
hands of the enemy.
The victim of irritability should be
more merciful In knowing that when
not purely physical it has its rise in a
sense Of our own shortcomings. No
one flies out at demand upon his
strength, but at call upon his al
ready recognized weakness. Irritabil-
ity belongs to people conscious of their
own mental processes, consciously
struggling to be something different.
