To Cut Out Fourth Noise

PITTSBURG, May 13.-At the con-
gress Of the Fairgrounds association Of
America today a request was made for
some better form of celebration of ma
tional holidays. The nation was adj
vised to replace the senseless noise and
danger of July and the disorder of
New Years eve. A plan was suggested
whereby festivals like May day and
Thanksgiving day might be made the
subject of varied and correlated indus
trial occupations as well as the incen-
tive to practice folk dancing, choral
singing and dramatic and literary ex-
preston.

The Test of True Love,

"Alicia," cried the ardent lover,
burning with the fame Of a hot, rapt-
urous passion, will you marry me?
For your dear sake would I brave
the perils of both fire and water, the
anger Of the elements! Say but the
world"
II cannot, Arthur" replied the
maid.
Say not so, fairest one! Over hot
plowshares would I walk for you,
plunge down precipitous chasms into
the very jaws of death! Be mine"
Arthur, I cannot!">

the feet of wild horses, throw ME to
the wild beasts for food-all these
things will I suffer gladly for your
sakeI"
And still I cannot. Arthur"

ID. B. Hills Hat.

David B. Hill, former Governor OF
and Senator from New York, had a
secluded halter somewhere in the
State who made his high hats after
elaborate plans drawn by Mr.. Hill
many years ago, and not changed
since.
One night Governor Odell. Of New
York, was giving a reception in AL
bany, and Mr.. Roosevelt, then elect
ed Vice-President, met Mr.. Hill on
the steps of the New York Executive
Mansion.
Roosevelt wore a black rough rider
hat and Hill had one Of mis- peculiar
skypieces.
Senator" said Roosevelt. you
should wear a hat like this one that

the head, preserve the hair and are
altogether better than silk ones"

L~OVEMAKING FINNEGAN, STYLE.
A Case of On Again, Off Again, Gone
Again, in Japan.

A Case of On Again, Off Again, Gone
Again, in Japan.
Until lately it was illegal for male
and female actors in Japan to appear
upon the stage at the same moment.
AS love is the stage subject Of plays
there, as elsewhere, this separation
Of the sexes In histrionic lovemaking
produced the most ridiculous effects,
to the uncontrolled amusement Of
the chance European spectator.
A confession of love, says the Trav-
ell Magazine, had to be made some
what after the following manner.
The Romeo of Japan comes alone
upon the stage.
"Ah, my beloved Ya-Fa-Pau-Lu,
when will you discover that it's you
who are the sweet cause of all my
paint"
He goes off to the right. The JUL
let of Japan enters from the left.
"And 1, my dear Tsen-To-Perri, I
love you, I love you!" She disap-
pears.
Romeo, reappearing upon the
stage: oh, my joy, I offer to you
the sacrifice Of a thousand thanks!
But will you, sweet one, grant me-
the great favor which I now beg Of
you?" He retires.
Juliet, after assuring herself that
the stage is empty: "Certainly--I
promise it before T ask what 1t is"
She withdraws.
Romeo, entering again: "Will,
you, my beloved, as a proof that you
love me, bestow on me one little
kiss?" He flies off rapidly.
Juliet, coming forward: There
now you have it," She runs away
at full speed.
Romeo, rushing wildly upon the
stage: "Oh, my beloved"
Hereupon he opens his arms and
passionately embraces the air. The
excitement Of the audience reaches
the highest pitch and everybody in
the theatre is smiling or weeping.

Beaver Colonies in Adirondacks.

Two interesting specimens OF the
work of beavers are on exhibition
in the Office of Commissioner James
S. Whipple, of the State Forest, FISH
and Game Department, at the Capt.
toll. They are two sections OF poplar
tree trunks which have been well
gnawed by the clever and active TO
dents. The trunks are over a foot In
diameter.
Commissioner Whipple reports
that he saw a beaver house close to
the shore of Upper Lake, in which
there was a family Of five beavers
which had grown from two received
from Yellowstone Park.
1.-The beavers had cut down a num-
Der of poplar trees to furnish them
with a supply Of food for the winter
The limbs and tops had been re-
moved by the animals, these portions
being the most desired by them"
said Commissioner Whipple. From
the trees which remained men from
the Whitney preserve cut up twenty
cords Of firewood."
There are fifteen colonies of beav'
er in the Adirondacks, all Of which
are growing rapidly. 1t IS the inten'
ton Of the Forest, Fish and Game
Department to promote the propoga'
ton of beavers in the State, as they
are increasing and harmless animals

Joke. If he sells the joke he wild get
real money for it. No, no, my chill
dren, he will not buy champagne and
lobster with the money, but more OF

The joke is about a man who has
just put away his lawn-mower IN
time to grab the sn%ow-shovel and the
furnace shaker.
The yumorist is laughing fit to Kill.
It is such a funny joke.
His door-bell is ringing but he does
not hear it. He will hear it in a min
ute and will conceal his chew behind
the ink-well before he opens the door.
Heavens. it is the police. what
do they want of a poor yumorist?
Listen, they are speaking:
Come now, yuse, and get out and
rustic de snow off dat walk, and do
it quick, see, or de wagon'n get YER"
The yumorist does not laugh now.
No, he is swearing wicked oaths and
his Door wife is afraid to ask him tc
shake down the furnace and bring
I'D the coal. She will see that nc
does these chores after the walk Is
clean.
Yes, as you expected, the yumorist
is tearing up the manuscript of his
joke.

he will not have to read the antique

thirty years, her old horse Nellie is

Automatic Razor Strop.

To know the luxury of a smooth,
clean shave the edge Of any razor
must be right to start with and must
be kept right. To the man who
shaves himself the stropping of the
razor Is the most difficult part. Very
often he ruins the edge Of the razor
in his endeavors to strop it. Turning
the blade at too great an angle de-
stroys the edge. This cannot happen
with the stropping machine shown
here, patented by an Ohio man. The
operation of the ~contriyance is very,
simple. The razor is placed in posi-
ton at the upper end Of the strop,
which, of course, is flexible, and the
strop pulled back and forth. The
strop thus passes alternately over
each side of the blade, catching 1t at

c~ontrivances designed by ambitious
inventors. One of the recent distinct
novelties is the electric alarm clock
shown here, designed by a Chicago
man. 1t is placed on the bureau,
where the dial can be readily seen by
the occupant of the bed. If he
awakes in the night and wishes to
know the time, he merely pushes a
push bottom attached to a cord which
extends from the clock to the bed.
The little incandescent lamp just
above the dial Immediately lights
up, so that the time can be instantly
seen. 1t is not necessary to arise
from bed to light the electric light
a touch of the button shows the time.
The cord can be put under the pillow
or in any convenient place. The
alarm bell also rings at the hour set,
as with the ordinary alarm clock. In
addition, a bank is placed on n side
of the clock; if anybody hampers
with it the bell rings and continues
ringing until shut off.-Washington

As to Sheets.

Every good housewife is interested
in the care of sheets, and many OF
them will like to hear a few sugges-
lions made by an economical and
clever woman.
She said: II never have my sheets
made with a small hem on one end.
There Is always a three-inch hem on
both ends-so there Is no top or bot
tom-and the sheets wear; Just twice
as long as they otherwise would. It
is not difficult to do, for I always
have my sheets made in the house by
q seamstress, so they will be the right
size. And, speaking OF size, do you
know what to do when ready-made
linen sheets are too short for the
beds?". M
OF courseI did not, so she told me
that a false hem might be added and
either fagoted o hemstitched to the
one already on the sheet. In thia
way the sheet could be easily made as
long as desired, and the embroidery
only added to the beauty Of the sheet.
This is certainly very useful infor-
nation, for many a mother has a tall
boy who is constantly complaining
that the sheets are too short. The
addition Of the false hem Is quickly
done, and the extra material required
does not form a very large item In
the family expense account. = New
