A curiou. STAG. Custom.

1t is not generally known that
the last three or four words of a
new dramatic production are never
spoken during the period of the re-
hearsal of the piece. Most frequent
ly they are never written by the
author.
The superstition of the theatrical
world is that it would be certain to
bring bad luck to the piece if the
last words were pronounced on the
stage before the first night. But as
the play must have an end, and it
should be known to all present that
it is at an end, the actor or actress
intrusted with the last lines usually
interpolates word or two. For in
stance, the actor would say, "My
dear girl, my dear boy, kneel before
me, that l may forgive you and
bless you with-a far$hing cake."-

A wireless dispatch received at
Tangier, last Saturday announced
that General D'Amade, commander
OF the French military forces la Mo
rocco, had recaptured Settat, from
which place the French troops retired
after the battle fought with the
Moors few days previously, In which
the French losses are said to have
amounted to 100 men, including four
officers, and those of the Moors to
10000.

Greatest Volcanic Eruption.

The greatest volcanic eruption of
all history was the eruption of
Krakatoa, in the strait of Sunda,
between Java and Sumatra, in 1888
1t caused cloud seventeen miles
high. 1t was heard 1900 miles
away. If it had taken place in Lon
don, it could have been heard in
New York, Constantinople, St. Pc
tersburg, Cairo, Egypt, and Green
land. The velocity Of the explosion
was three times that of an Arm
strong gun. 1t raised tidal waves
100 feet high that rolled up on the
land for miles. It created dust finer
than any rock can be ground by
man. This dust was carried around
the earth for three years in the air.
It caused air waves that encircled
the earth several times. 1t broke
windows more than 100 miles dis

TAXPAYERS should study t

TAxPAYERs should study the
real motive behind Cpur d AL
ene's desire to have the county
seat and the argument that it is
place easier of access to the
people than this city. This is a
very weak argument. Why
should the county seat be moved
a few miles nearer to some of the
people when doing SO would in
yolve a great increase in the
county's already large indebted :
ness? The fact that railroad
facilities now bring the present
county seat within easy reach OF
all should be sufficient to con-
vince anyone, not interested in
C1nr d'Alene real estate, that
the wise course is to let the coun-
ty seat remain where it is.

THE municipal authorities

THE municipal authorities
have taken hold of the smallpox
situation in a manner which
should stamp out the malady in
a short time. Church services,
lodge meetings and other occa-
sions OF public gatherings have
been ordered discontinued for a
few weeks or until such time that
all danger from the present cpl
demic shall have passed. The
officers have been instructed to
break up all gatherings of chill
dren on the streets and see that
persons in the country who have
the disease in their homes re
main out of town. While the
number OF known cases is small
and fairly well isolated, yet the
apparent Indifference or thought
lessness OF the people, which,
with the lack of official control,
was responsible for the spread OF
the disease to this locality from
q neighboring community
where it originated, threatened
to involve many families. Some.
thing had to be done, and, while
much Inconvenience may be oc-
casioned to some, strict quaran-
tine regulations are, under the
circumstances, necessary.

MEANING OF MUSIC.
What II Can and What II Cannot Gay
to You.

What II Can and What IL Cannot Say
to You.
Music is called the universal Ian
guage, and yet when you are strug-
Cling to understand what com
poser is trying to say always remem-
Der that he is speaking primitive
language that frames vaguely sen
timent or mood or tangled fab
ric of sentiments and moods.
"The best definition / ever heard
of music" says Rupert Hughes in
the Delineator, els that Of Taine,
Music is cry and, to my thinking
at least, the best music is that in
which to the largest degree each
note represents an cutlery But then
cry may mean SO much or SO lit
tie!
"The spirit of brooding music
may be found in the story Of Robert
Schumann and his cherished friend,
Frau Voigt. One summer evening
he took her out in a rowboat, ship
ped the oars and sat for an hour in
complete silence. When they land
ed again Schumann pressed her
hand in farewell and said:
"'We have understood each 9TH
er perfectly
'There is the message of contem-
plative music in a nutshell. We
have understood without words, and
with words we could not explain.
"Music cannot even hint at glo-
rious contour or ripple of music
which sculpture can make immortal,
nor suggest the color Of a land
scape or woman's eyes, which
painting can give to posterity, nor
spin out skeins of thoughts well
chosen and deity arranged as
poetry and prose are wont to do. 1t
cannot with a gesture grip your
heart or with a grimace make you
laugh as drama can. 1t cannot mar
rate a romance nor indulge in the
WITNESSES of an essay, the patriotic
fire Of an grafton, the fact mosaics
of history, the massive fights of
architecture.
Emusic is eternally debarred from
even attempting any of these fields.
And yet one finds compensation in
being allowed to nestle little closer
to the heart of things in themselves
and emotions as emotions than any
other of the muses. that make the
world worth while"

NO CLOSED DOOR IN THE EAST
There Are Plenty Opportunities in
Korea and Manchuria.

Toxic Correspondence Boston Transcript.
That there is no closed door in Korea
is the positive assertion made not only
by officials, but by american business
men who are doing a large business
In Korea, and this view is borne out
by the statement made recently al
Chemulpo by Thomas Sammons, the
American consul general, who said:
Those who seek the pen door in
Korea will find It," 1t is a fact, how
ever, that Japan by reason of her geo.
graphical position, has the advantage
over other competing nations, and she
has undoubtedly gained rapidly on 9TH
er countries not only in Korea, but in
Manchuria n Japan itself. The truth
OF the situation is that Japanese energy
and enterprise have so far exceeded the
degree of these qualities displayed by
the foreign traders in the far east that
the oriental has beaten the occidental
at her own game. This is the view
taken Of the situation by an American
who is doing the largest American bust
ness in Korea and who, to use his own
words, is splitting ever with the Japa-
nese monopoly"
Business methods different from those
OF the old times are now a necessity In
order to meet the active competition of
the japanese, but when modern up to
date Western ways of doing business
are applied the American trader comes
out, If anything, a little ahead. Ex-
actly the same conditions apply to the
situation In Manchuria. An American
In Yokohoma, whose firm is now doing
the largest American business in Man
churia, said recently he did not find
the doors there closed or even closing,
1t should be remembered in this con
nection that all business in Manchuria
has fallen of immensely since the
Russo-Japanese war and that the
amoun of money in that country to
be expended on anything more than the
sheer necessities Of life is comparatively
small. But to say that American trade
has been ruined is a mistake.

Matching Ostrich Eggs.

rEOIu III tampa IiLneS.
Ostrich eggs are being Matched In an
incubator In this city. A novel egg
Matching is being carried on at the
store of Crenshaw Bros. on upper
Franklin street. Thirteen fine ostrich
eggs from the recently established
Tampa ostrich farm have been placed
in an incubator and they will hatch of
some time early in May.
1t takes an average heat of lot de-
grees and 40 days of constant exposure
to such heat to develop the germ in
an ostrich egg and hatch a young os-
trich. The eggs are worth $50 each,
and II Is a conservative estimate to
say that the young bird will be worth
more than twice that money after 1t
has passed the first month of its ex-
istence
Some idea Of the size Of the eggs
may be gathered from the fact that the
MANDY Lee" incubator, which is be-
ing used for the hatch, would hold 140
average hen eggs. Fourteen Of the
ostrich eggs would fill it completely.
An empty ostrich egg holds just one
quart of liquid. This is the first at
tempt at ostrich Matching in Tampa.

How a Girl Defied sheridan's Army.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
1t is related that the army, headed
by Sheridan and his staff, left Win
chester by the valley pike early in the
morning, the column moving toward
Stephens City. Just as day was break
ing the staff reached the toll gate and
was much discounted to find the toll
pole down and guarded by a young and
beautiful girl, Charlotte Hillman,
famed locally for her girlish charms.
Even the war-hardened Sheridan seems
not to have been proof against the per-
,suasion Of a pair Of black eyes and a
pretty face, and when toll was demand
ed, straightway produced the 1.-THE;
setting an example that was followed
by his staff.
But" said Sheridan as ne passed
through the gate, II cannot vouch for
my army"
When the common soldiery came, the
girl again lowered the toll bar n de
manded toll. This was met by jeers
from the soldiers, ~whereupon she wisely
raised the guard. All day the dusty
troopers passed through, and all day
Charlotte Hillman stood at her post.
For every 10 soldiers who passed the
gate she cut a notch in the toll pole.
Early fed beyond the Blue Ridge with
the remnants of his disorganized army;
In the Valley of Virginia, Lee, beaten
back by Grants overwhelming num-
bers, gave up the fight; in the southeast
Joe Johnston fired the last burlesque
shots and peace came over the North
and South. Then, when relations with
Washington had been re-established
and the administrations policy was one
of magnanimity, Charlotte Hillman
counted the notches in the toll pole
and sent her bill 10 Washington. And
the bill was paid.

From the age Of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made i~ntolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite Of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him In hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
Of the worst cases ever admitted From
each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy,
