Cloud Effects From Above.

1t has been my lot to see in arc
tic regions some hundreds of thou
sands of iobergs close at hand, and
/ have always believed them to be
the most beautiful objects on earth.
But the clouds of the sky close at
hand are almost as beautiful. If
you mount above one of these ma
jestic things, swiftly overlapping one
by n its folds and wreaths, and if
remembering how high it is you
look down and see only small green
patches of earth through holes in
the cloud carpet below, you have a
little thrill of conception of how
lonely a man would feel, falling
away down there and not being able
to see the spot where he must
alight. 1t is a safe little thrill,
however. You know that you are
not going to fall. Such dizziness as
some persons feel in standing near
great heights on the earth is almost
unknown in ballooning. - Success

Buttermilk q Life Saver.

A French medical man advises
people to drink buttermilk for long
life. He says that the tactic acid
dissolves every sort of earthly depos-
it in the blood vessels, keeping the
veins and arteries SO supple and free
running that there can be no clog
ging up, and hence there is no de-
post of chalky matter around the
Joints or of poisonous waste in the
muscles. It is the stiffening and
hardening of the blood vessels
which bring on old age. Butter
milk is likely to postpone it ten or
twenty years if freely drunk. A

mum, the maximum according to
taste and opportunity.

SINGING BOYS OF JENA.
Outsrowth Of Age Of Bacchantea o.
Wandering Students.

Wandering Students.
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 example was followed by
bands of poor students, known as
bacchantes. These bacchantes wan
dered from one university to an
other in search of better instruction
Or better means of support. Such
a wandering life was favored by the
customs of times when people
thought it a virtue to give freely to
oil persons seeking help, but espe-
ciallv to monks and students.
The bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars, known
as skirmishers, who were to receive
instruction 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 tyran-
nically used. But as he was a waif
without other protection he had to
make the best of matters.
After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys, or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from churches,
but also were assisted by private
subscription. It was their duty to
sing not only in the churches, but
before the houses of their patrons
as well. Thus they ceased to be
beggars. Martin Luther himself as
a boy had been one of these singers,
and it was largely due to his infu-
ence that the old custom of begging
entirely passed away. There is .
famous picture of Luther as a sing
ing boy in Eisenach, where his song
attracted the attention of the good
Frau Gotta, who adopted and edu-
Gated him.
Nowadays the old custom Of the
choir boys singing from house to
house is fading away. There are
only five other towns beside Jena in
the whole German empire where
this music can be heard. Once each
year the singing boys 60 to Else
mach and sing before the emperor
in the great hall of the historic cas-
tie of the Wartburg, where the
minnesingers held their music bat
ties.
There are just twenty of the Je-
ma singing boys, five each of the
ages eleven, twelve, thirteen and
fourteen years. They are orphans,
and the only qualifications for the
privilege of four years board and
schooling are good character, abili-
ty to sing and obedience to the laws
of the organization, one of which
requires them to sing before the
houses of their patrons.-St. Mich

LOUIS ALB|NQ,
Who JUMPED OF
TRAIN IS HELD
Prisoner Admits His Identity at
Hospital in New Rochelle,
N. Y.

The injured man who was received
yesterday at the General hospital in
New Rochelle, N. Y, with a broken
leg and numerous bruises, and who was
wearing but one shoe, admitted today
that he was Louis Albino, who escaped
by jumping through the window of a
flying express train from Prosecutors
Detective Godfrey, who was bringing
him back from New Haven, Conn, oc-
cording to a statement given out today
at the office of Frederick Weimer, chief
of the prosecutors detectives.
Two detectives from the prosecutors
office will go to New Rochelle tomorrow
or Saturday to complete the identifi-
cation, as the injured man Is too i'll to
be moved from his cot in the hospital.
While his recovery, 1t is said, seems
reasonably certain, Albino is faint from
loss of blood, and experienced great
pain yesterday.
Mrs. Albino, who was brought to
Newark by Godfrey after her husband
had jumped through the car window.
said in her cell at the jail Thai her hus-
band had threatened to take his life
II apprehended. The couple are wanted
to answer a charge of grand larceny.
