The state department of agriculture
has taken a step which may help to
solve the problem of adjusting the
matter of labor for farms and at the
same time put dwellers in the city in
the way Of acquiring knowledge and
health, says the Troy IN. W Times.
The department has issued bulletin
asking for volunteers from boys and
girls in high schools who wish en-
ployment during the summer vacation.
The boys are to have farm work of a
character suited to their capacity, such
as aiding in the planting and gather
Ing of crops and helping the farmers
in other ways, all of which will tend
to tighten the labor of the agriculture
ist and also give the boys valuable in
sight into farm life. The girls for
the most part are expected to serve
as clerks and stenographers and to
do light duty about summer resorts, al
though probably there will be no OBJ
lection to letting those so disposed act
as helps to rural housewives. That
the idea is not wholly repellent to the
youthful element is shown by the fact
that there are already over $500 ap-
plications from high school boys of
New York city alone, the young fel-
lows being desirous of engaging in
the occupations suggested. Who knows
but the high school boy Of the pres
ent will be the successful farmer of
tho future?

James Bryce a New Style Ambassador

Quainted with so important q portion
of the national machinery, and he took
the easiest means at hand and called
first. Many of the governors found
time to return the visit. Others could
not, but they all met James Bryce and
took his measure just as he took
theirs. Mr.. Bryce entertained Bryan,
John Mitchell, Andrew Carnegie and
many of the governors at dinner. II
any man on this continent will know
what this meeting of the governors
meant, it will be the publicist from
Great Britain. He intends to write of
it also, and 1t is comfortable to realize
that he has obtained all his data at
first hand and from reliable sources.
Mr.. Bryce has been revelation to
the Observation-Disclosures kind Of
diplomatist usually assigned to the
Washington mission. He has taken
high ground, and the pace he has set
is not altogether pleasing to his col.
leagues. Many of the ambassadors
now in this country would cling to the
old ways if they felt secure in SO do
ing. But Mr.. Bryce has revolutionized
the service. The ambassadors cannot
draw the line socially, even politically.
They must get in the limelight, make
speeches, give interviews. mingle with
the common herd. Such men as can
not do this are being called home.

III ASHINGTON.-The comradeship
" that binds the members of the
house of representatives together, re-
gardless of party politics and poll
cies, was never better illustrated than
in the closing hours of the first ses-
sion of the Sixtieth congress. Demo
crat and Republican, northerner and
southerner, Roosevelt admirer and
Bryan follower, all joined arms and
spirits, and with fervor celebrated
the passing of the session and forgot
all the strife that had marked it's half
wear.
1T was the most riotous and enthus-
iastic adjournment I have ever seen,'
said Gen. ]. Warren Kiefer, who was
a member of the Fortieth congress-
and has seen many finales.
After a day of patient waiting until
the senate conquered the filibuster
the house was ready to celebrate as
soon as the remaining business of the
session was transacted. With the con

Society Leader Tells How to "Belonq'

Here are a few of his epigrams on
the social situation:
'"The people who belong to society
l call it that for want of better name
must have something more than
money; they must have personal mag
netism, tact, common sense. They
must have been successful in some
way.
II will hold it against everybody
that money to-day counts for less in
New York than in any other great city
in the world.
There are plenty of people who are
not rich among those who make up
what is called society. They never
lack for invitations But they have
tact, self-control, personal magnetism.
They do things. They are not afraid.
They have opinions of their own,
Monkey dinners or moonlight bathing
parties do not interest them.
New York is too colossal to-day to
be ruled by mere money.
Society has been set-ridden long
enough.
Twenty years ago the late Ward
McAllister ruled New York society
The ballroom was his life. The books
and articles he wrote indicate that
he never thought of anything outside
of dinner, dance, or cotillon. The life
of the outside world did not concern
him in the least.
THE day of bizarre entertainments
has passed.
why should we object to an actor
in society? We are glad to meet q
novelist or a gallant soldier, man
who has invented something that will
benefit the human race. They are far
more interesting people than those
whose only claim to distinction is q
vast inherited wealth."

Colony Of Six-Toed People.

A unique colony of six-toed people
live in Maine. Starting some genera
tions back, intermarriage has appar-
emily reproduced the deformity until
there are few families free of the freak
foot. Some of the afflicted ones-for
the extra toe interferes with wearing
ordinary boots-have resorted to sur
gerry to remove the distinction which
sets them apart as abnormal folk.
Tradition has it that some ances-
tors several generations ago settled in
this vicinity, and while at work in the
woods split toe with an ak, and, in
stead of adhering, the two parts sep
arated, and in the course of time, az
the generations passed, the sixth toe
made its appearance in more perfect
form.
The theory, however, will not be ac-
cepted by scientists. The sixth toe is
an offshoot from, the little toe of the
ordinary foot. It is perfect in shape,
although it is not always in alignment
with the other five toes of the foot.

The pope recently entertained tho
members Of the Sacred college with
the recital of how a certain gold coin
had been given to him as jubilee gift
by the diocese of Acqui. This coin
was discovered in 1898, while excava-
tons were being made for the founda-
tion Of a new church at Acqui. Upon
examination it was found to be the
only coin in existence of the period
of Innocent TX. The diocese of Acuui
was unable to pay the architect who
had drawn the plans for the new
church, so it gave him the coin with
the understanding that if he sold it
for more than $1,000, the amount Of
his bill, the surplus should be returned
to the diocese. Later the clergy col.
lected the $1,000, bought the coin, and
presented it to the pope This coin
was the only one lacking to complete
the Vatican collection of coins issued
under all the popes.

"Music Typewriter"

According to the London Herald, a
notable musical invention, known as
the music typewriter" and called the
kromarograph, has been invented by
Lorenz Krowar of Vienna. With
the aid of this instrument" says the
writer, the composer may produce a
typewriter scroll without the trouble
of making the characters by hand. All
that he has to do is to place himself
at the piano and give free play to his
creative fancies. Every stroke upon
the key is registered in regular music
al characters upon paper scroll
wound upon drum. The machine op.
crates through system of electric
contacts with the piano keys. The
registering apparatus, which resem.
bles an ordinary typewriter in size,
may, in order to remove discordant
sounds, be placed at a distance from
the piano - even in an adjoining
room.'
