FAMED slt.alNe eoYs OF JENA.
ougrowth Of Age of .Bacchaptes or
Wandering Students. b..

Hundreds of years ago the streets
OF Jena and other German towns used
to echo to the songs Of black-robed
monks, who went from door to door
singing and begging aims. Their ex-
ample was followed by bands of POOR
students, known'as Bacchantes. These
Bacchantes wandered from one uni
versity TO another in search Of better
instruction or better means Of sup
port. Such. wandering life was ia
vored by the customs of times when
people thought 1t virtue to give free
ly to all persons seeking help, but
especially to monks and students.
The Bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
skirmtshers, who were to receive in
struction in return for certain services.
The younger skirmisher had to wait
upon his Bacchante, :, beg, and even
steal for him, and for the most part
he was very tyrannically used. But
as he was a waif without other protec-
tion he had to make the best OF mat
tiers. -" " "$S5*T">
After. the reformation in many
places these orphan boys, or waits,
were. banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from clutches. but
also were assisted by private sub
scnptions. 1t was their duty to sing
not only In the churches. but before
the houses Of their patrons as we'll.
Thus they ceased to be beggars. Mar.
tin Luther himself as boy, had been
one of these singers, and it was large
ly due to his influence that the old
custom Of begging entirely passed
away. There is famous picture of
Luther as singing boy in Eiseuach
where his song attracted the attention
of the coed Frau Gotta. who adopted
and educated him.
Nowadays the old custom Of the
choir boys singing from house 10
house is fading away. There are. only
five other towns besides Jena in the
whole German empire where this mu-
sic can be heard. Once each year the
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before the emperor in the great hall
of the historic castle Of the Wartburg,
where the Minpesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 20 Of the Jena sing
ing boys, five each of the ages of -.
IL, 10 and IA years. They are

unappreelated Sympathy.

The soda-fountain clerk was en-
gagged in vigorously shaking up a
chocolate and egg. says a writer in
the Bellman, when suddenly the glass
broke In his hands, and the ensuing
deluge made him look like a human
eclair. The Mortified customer leaned
over the counter and tried to be sym
pathetic. Not knowing exactly what
10 say, he finally blurted out, consol.
ingly:
"Oh-er-too bad! Did the glass
break?' 80" H'''
Dripping from head to foot, the
clerk looked at him witheringly.
Did the glass break?" he repeated.
Did the glass break?" And then with
freezing sarcasm, "Oh, no, not at all!

Teaching Girls to Ride Horses.


Almost all the little girls who are
taught to ride horses these days are
put on cross saddles. They may. or
may not ride astride when they get
bigger, but they all learn that way.
1t is safer position in the first place
and 1T gives confidence never acquired
by youngster in side saddle. AS
rule the small eouestrienne is clad in
boomers and the briefest Of skirts
Often she discards the skirt when the
lessons are given in the country. The
instructor holds her pony by lead
ing strap and. of course, he rides a
horse easily able to overtake her
mount In the event Of bolt. Only
for the first few lessons Ia the child's
belt buckled to the pommel Of her
saddle. Until she acquires a firm
seat she Is kept close enough to the
instructor to be caught by him II she
starts TO fall.

Latest Bird on Earth.

Perhaps the most remarkable ex.
hibit Of all is a bird described by Mr..

is the Cuban trogon, a feathered idler
OF true Spanish-American instincts.
He will sit patiently under a Dough
waiting for the ripe fruit to fall into
his beak, instead of plucking it for
himself. Not even the prospect Of
taking home a first and special prize
to its owner disturbed the placidity of
this picturesque winged sluggard. An.
other remarkable exhibit is the rare
hawk headed parrot of South Amer
lea. The toucans, which have been
aptly described as "beaks with birds
behind them," attracted a great deal
OF attention. The great Hirhalayan

Blackburn Natural Athlete.

Russell A. Blackburn, the new short
stop of the Chicago Americans, is one
of that natural type of athletes who
break into the game now and then and
make famous names for themselves.
Blackburn is naturally adapted to
baseball, football and basket ball and
is strong player at the latter game.
He was one of the stars in the big
professional league in the east. He
did not play last year, being unable to
come to terms with the club to which
he was assigned. He is as good a
pitcher as he is shortstop. Fast, hit
ting intielders of class are so rare there
is little chance of his being called on
to pitch. 1t is as an infielder that Co
miskey wants him in his effort to build
up fast young team.
