BOSTON, March 12.-It is now be-
lieved that Miss Sarah c. Weede. WHO
killed her co-worker, Miss Elizabeth
b. Hardee In their private school for
girls yesterday morning thought others
were in a conspiracy with Miss Hardee
to keep her shut up IN a sanatorium
and planned to punish them In the
same way A note written by her was
found tucked under the door of Miss
Hamilton, another teacher in which
the writer accuses Miss Hamilton OF
being untrue TO her trust" and con-
spring against her. There is scarce
~ any doubt, according to the author
tiles that Miss Weede shot and killed
Miss Hardee when she first learned
that she was to be taken back TO the
Newton sanatorium on an early train.
That plans OF murder were vaguely
in her mind. however. is evident from
the fact that she purchased a revolver
before she left the asylum and re-
turned to the Laurens school.
The school which the two dead
friends opened last October will prob
ably be closed forever Although this
is its first year, # had prospered and
numbered some fifty pupils, nearly all
daughters Of wealthy parents Most Of
the pupils returned to their homes to-
day but a few Of the older ones re-
mained TO attend the funerals Of their

Altered Cases

It's easy enough to be happy
When life runs along like a traln.
When all Of your schemes are successful
And all OF your ventures show gain.
But II there's a wreck in your fortunes
And all Of your profits go wrong
It isn't so easy, I reckon
To smile and break forth in a song.
When you are a magnet for dollars.
When things are Just rolling your way
And nothing can stop the procession,
Who couldn't cheer UP and be gayf
But II a reverse in the current
Sends all OF your wealth up the nue
1t takes a strong man to shed gladnesa
And notice bright spots in the view.
It's easy enough to be joyous
When ladies are pleasant and bright
And when you drop in for an evening
Invite you to call any night
But when they are cranky and crOssWise
And vapid excuses invent
To treat you as cool as an icehouse
Then who could cheer up worth a oent3
man may possess as an asset
A deep philosophical mind
And swear he'll be happy no matter
II Joy is turned loose or confined,
But walt till misfortune amidship
Has handed him one Of its blows
He'll howl like a lovesick hyena
And drop in an instant his pose.

The Chinese Language.

The Chinese language has no alpha.
bet. Instead of being formed from an
alphabet, it's words are either symbols
intended to represent images or are
formed by combination of lines or of
two or more such symbols. The Ian.
guage is monosyllabic. Every word is
a root. and every root is a word, and
ancient tradition makes It out that the
founder of the written language OF
China was one Tsang Ke, who lived
some 5000 years B. G. According tC
the account, Tsang Ke, while wander
ing one day in the fields, found a tor
toise, and, observing its shell distinctly
and beautifully marked. he took Il
home and thus formed the idea of rep
resentlng the objects around him
Looking upward, he carefully observed
the figures presented by the stars, aft
er which he attentively considered the
forms OF birds. mountains, rivers, etc.
and from them at length originated the
written characters. At any rate, the
Chinese language, as written, is sim
ply a great mass Of hieroglyphics.-

GAME WITH A SECRET.
-Whst Will You Take to the Pienie7@
ls q Fun Provoker.

-Nhat Will You Take to the Pienic9N
Is Fun Prevoker.
Here is a game that will furnish lots
of fun wherever there is a gathering
Of young people. The game is called
what will you take to the pIcnicr'
and is played In the following manners
To begin with, only one should be-
let into the secret, as II all knew Il
would be no fun. Suppose the hostess
is the one familiar with the game.
She then commences by announcing
that she proposes to give picnic and
that it depends upon what her guests
bring whether they will be allowed
to come or not. Each must furnish
two articles of food.
She then asks the person nearest
her, what will you bring to the pic
nic7' II the name Of neither Of the
articles the player mentions commences
with the initial letter Of his or her
Christian or surname, the hostess says
the player cannot 60 and Immediately
puts the question to the next person
and then all the way round, asking
each. "What will you bring to the pics
nic?"
For example, suppose one girls name
is Mary Smith and that her donation
is candy and bread. Then she cannot
go. for neither Of her names com.
mences with @ or B, but II she took
sandwiches and macaroons she would
be doubly welcome, for NJ and S are
both her initials. Should she take
sugar and crackers she could go, foR
one Of her names commences with S.
Continue to ask the question until
everybody finally understands why
he may either go or stay home from
the picnic 1t is very amusing when
all but one or two have found out, and
they sometimes have to be asked over
and over again until they finally dis.
cover why they are not wanted.

FREAKS OF CLOCKS.
Electric Storms May Stop Them and
May Also Start Them.

Electric Storms May Stop Them and
May Also Start Them.
"a watch may need cleaning when
it is not dirty at ALL" said a watch
maker, quoted in the Washington Post.
This sometimes accounts for a great
deal Of misunderstanding between the
owner of a new watch and the watch
maker to whom it is brought for ex-
animation. Furthermore, a watch
which has never been worn may need
cleaning.
"A common reason is that oil in a
watch may have dried up around the
pivot and become sticky, thus causing
a watch to go very slowly or stop en-
tirely, IN which case Of course 1t needs
not only cleaning, but the addition Of
fresh oil.
''The oil which is considered best
for watches is made from the porpoise
or blackfsh jawbone These oils have
most disagreeable odor and have to
be treated chemically before being
used.
"The skeleton Of the fish, with only
the head left on, is hung in the hot
sun for several days and the oil al
lowed to ooze out slowly. All the
volatile parts Of the oil are naturally
neutralized In this manner, and the
oil collected is said to remain fluid and
clear when it comes in contact with
metal for as long as ten years.
Makers Of chrOnometers are espe-
cially scrupulous in the preparation Of
oils, owing to the accuracy which is
demanded Of these delicate timepleces,
and often prepare their own oil by
mixing porpoise, sperm. olive and
neatsfoOt and a small quantity Of
mineral oil. When these oils are
mixed, 1t is customary to keep them
In an uncorked bottle exposed to the
sun. This is done to allow all foreign
and coloring substances to fall to the
bottom, after which the oil is filtered
through a mixture Of charcoal dust
and animal charcoal.
"Clocks sometimes stop running for
no apparent reason. During an cleo
tric storm it is not uncommon for them
to stop abruptly, only to resume their
ioboAoA AuASeOhn WIN aS huSh aSSu-
racy as ever after a certain interval
Of time. This interval may be only for
a few moments or 1t may be for years.
"On the other hand, electric storms
have been known to be responsible for
the starting of old clocks which have
remained mute and inactive for years.
Imagine the utter amazement Of the
members of the household upon sud
denly hearing the solemn tick-tack Of a
stately old hall clock which from all
appearance had long ago retired from
active service"
