BEETLE AS A SCENT sAcHEr
Insect Of 5orneo That ExhaIes Most
Powerful Perfume.

The beaux and bellies of Borneo do
not have to distil perfume for their
hair or handkerchiefs. They have
only to take a walk until they find a
mimosa in blossom. Clinging to the
fower-balls is found a magnificent
beetle Of brilliant emerald green sha-
ding to a bright bronze on the wing
cases, and touched with gold on the
head. This living jewel emits a pow
erful scent Of altar of roses, pertaining
the air for many yards around it A
number of them placed in house will
fill it from top to bottom with delight
full fragrance. Young girls roll the
insect in a bit of cotton cloth and
braid it in their black locks, and
young men suspend it around their
necks like an amulet or an Egyptian
scarab. The fragrance gradually
grows fainter as the beetle loses its
vitality, and dies with it.
The beetle lives in captivity only a
few hours, and as the scent expires
with 1t, no way has so far been found
to extract or preserve the exquisite
odor. The scented beetle appears only
when the mimosa is in flower. Neither
birds nor lizards will destroy it, and
it is protected even from the vora-
cious woodpecker by its powerful per
fume.

CHARITY OF LITTLE SERVICE
New York Health Commissioner
Makes Moral Of Incident.

"If charity" said Health Commits
sioner Darlington OF New York, were
really as fine and serviceable as we
incline 10 think it is, disease would
almost disappear"
He shook his head and smiled
TOO much Of our charity" he said,
resembles that of the Norwalk wom-
an. A tramp. on gray and freezing
day, presented himself at her back
door
Madam he said, my feet are
nearly froze.' He pointed to>his shoes,
q tangle of string and strips of leather
and holes through which his bare feet
showed Have you got an old pair
of boots you could give me, madam
THE woman, after rummaging in
her closet, returned to the tramp and
said feelingly:
Poor fellow know you must suf-
fer terribly without shoes this bitter
weather. l have none to fit you, but
here is & pair Of my late husbands

Big Wages Must Be Earned.

A group Of feminine wage earners
was discussing a news item the other
day, one which told the public that the
private secretary of the greatest fnan-
cier Of his time is a woman who re-
ceives 100000 year. There was envy
in their voices and bitterness in their
words, and nobody seemed to grasp
the pith Of the story, which was a re-
cital Of the secretary's duties. There
was a woman who had to be on duty
many hours, and possess not only a
marvellous memory, but infinite tact
and patience. More than that she had
to possess marked executive ability
She has probably been in training
for years, and undoubtedly earns
every penny Of her salary. The girls
who envied her could not do the work
because they were not fitted for tt
probably they would not under any
circumstances, because they were not
the hard-working kind. All they could
see in the story was the salary, and
that made them envious.

New York. Jan. 31.-The forthcom-
ing English racing season, which be-
gins early in the spring, will attract
of the large number of American
cadence of racing here as the result Of
the shipment of many of the best
sport is unhampered.
Among the prominent owners who
have sent horses to England are James
r. Keene, August Belmont and Harry
P. Whitney. John E. Madden, COM
monty known as the wizard of the Am
erican turf, has disposed Of some of
his best horses to the British racing
men, while scores of young horses,
purchased at the yearling sales here
by British sportsmen, will also make
their appearance at the English race
tracks.
Colin and Priscillian. two unbeaten
racers, head the long list of Amer
lean horses now preparing for the
races on the other side. Other we'll
known horses there include Ballot, Fair
Play, Dinna, Suffra gette, Wedding
Bells, Sir Martin, who will try for
the Derby; Bobbin, Melisande, Helmet
and Baby Wolf.
That the English Handicapped holds
a high estimate of the American high
bred runners is evident from the fact
that Ballot, Colin. Fair Play and Pris-
Gillian all are asked to carry in their
engagements pounds more than Eng
lands best horses.

"swegT HOME" NOT FOR PAYNE.
Writer of Song Frequently Without
Place TO Lay His Head.

The song we know so well IS
Home, Sweet Home" was originally
Sweet Home, ard John Howard
Payne was formerly known as J.
Howard Payne. The disillusionins
process keeps on arace. It is well
known that army bands in. time Of war
are forbidden TO play Sweet Home"
on account Of the large number Of de.
sertions it causes. An officer with
the feet, writing to q friend, referred
to the tune in these words: I'VE al
low 1t occasionally at sea, where the
men could not possibly desert without
leaping overheard; but when on shore
never" Imagine what a powerful
influence such q tune must have on
homesick man, thousands Of miles
from wife, mother, sweetheart. babiesl
Howard Payne's life was one of re-
markable vicissitudes. Of an evening
he would stroll along the streets look
ing into the brilliantly lighted parlors.
Once in awhile he would see a family
circle so happy and forming so beauli-
full a group that he would stop. gaze
upon the scene, and with a sigh pass
on. How often" said he to an init
mate friend, have l been in the heart
OF Paris, Berlin, London, or some
other city, and heard persons singing,
or the hand organ playing, Sweet
Home, without shilling to buy the
next meal or place to put my head.
The world has, literally, sung it until
every heart is familiar with its mel
ody; yes, I have been a wanderer from
my boyhood"

a Gladstone Bull.

Mr.. Gladstone was once guilty Of an
amusing bull in a debate on the ques-
ton of disestablishment. Dilating on
the hold held on the affection of the
people by the Church of England, he
said: when an Englishman wants
to get married, to whom does he go?
To the parish priest When he wants
his child baptized, to whom does he
go? To the parish priest. When he
wants to get buried, to whom does he
go?" The house answered with roar
of laughter, in which Mr.. Gladstone
himself joined. adding: "As I was
contrasting the English church with
the Irish, q bull is perhaps excusable."

MIGHTY FIVE WIN
IN BASKETBALL GAM {,

Before well filed gallery at the
7. NJ. c. A. gymnasium. Saturday eve
ming the Mighty Five basketball team
administered a defeat to the n. F. A.
Independents, 10 to 3. Both sides had
their supporters out in good numbers,
and every fast play and clever shot
was the signal for a tumult of cheers.
At the close each team made the gym
nasium ring with its special yell.
Considering the fact that this was
the first time the Academy five had
been together in d game and several of
them knew very little about it from
practical experience, they put up a
strong contest against their better
drilled opponents The first half ended
with the score a tie, to 6. but in the
second the training of the Mighty Five
began to tell and they opened UP a
pretty passing game, with accurate
shooting, that had the Academy boys
outclassed. Many fouls called on the
Academy gave the Mighty Five a
chance to fatten M their score by free
tries, on which AmDuTn made s points.
As Manager Dat of the Mighty Five
has resigned, the team has now elect
ed Benjamin Morgan as manager. The
