A LAND OF BEAUTY
Work Of American Sanitary Officers
Has Wrought a Wonderful Trans
formation There.

Neither have the vast, undevcl-
oped resources Of the republic OF
Panama been estimated, nor its
great beauty revealed to many. Bet
ter known by i'll repute are the towns
situated along the line Of the rail-
road, whose thatch and mud huts.
crowned with lines of horr!d buzz
yards, straggle irregularly along the
dirty, unpaved streets, surrounding
all The stretches Of notwithstanding
marsh, and washed only by the rains
of heaven. This was certainly true,
but the wonderful work OF the
American sanitary officers and those
in charge of construction has so
ira, formed this least attractive
par, of the isthmus that such condi-
tons are now scarcely more than a
memory. After all. this is but a
small part of the picture, oversilad-
owed, 1lguratlvely and literally, D.V
glorious chains Of hills, melting OF
into beautiful distant valleys,
through which flow rivers still rich
in gold according to reports, by vast,
mysterious jungles; by lovely bays
and coral islands-all unspoiled by
man. But there the necessities OF
life come tco easily, and beyond q
certain worldwide shrcwdness OF tho
small merchants in o%vcrtaXing the
stranger along the path of travcI
for bis temporary needs, the rest OF
the country remains as it has beer
for centuries-unawakcned, sparsely
settled, and in many parts seml-sav'

BUILT MANY CENTURIES AGO
Discovery of Stone Arches in England
Is of Much Interest to the
Antiquarian.

The discovery of four substantial
stone arches under the western
facade of Hampton court palace in
England is arousing great interest.
The discovery was made during ex-
cavations. The arches ere 25 feet
long and are parallel with each other
and the palace entrance. 1t is be-
lleved they were constructed to
bridge the moat which once sur
rounded the palace. The date 1862
IS cut on one arch. The space that
was occupied by the moat has long
been filled in. The space covered
by the arches is still somewhat
empty.
When the workmcn examined the
arches they found a curious forma-
ton on the inner sides, resembling
sticks of horse radish, hut when
broken they showed q perfectly
white interior. They are believed to
consist of almost pure lime. Their
presence was due to the trickling of
moisture through the lime Of the
stone work. Some are only a foot
long, but it is estimated hat they
took 200 years to form to that ex-
tent

SHOWED THEIR GENIUS EARLY
Mozart and MendeIssohn Were Mu'
siclans Of Note Before They
Had Reached Their Teens.

Mozart may be said to be the only
child composer, although Haydn I'M
doubtcdly would have been a prodigy
if he he'd possessed the advantage oil
a musical father, instead OF being
compelled to teach himself the rudl-
ments of composition.
At the age of II Mendelssohn had
written a violin sonata and TWO
pianoforte sonatas. Weber had COM
posed an opera when only 10, but
unfortunately, the score was de-
stroyed by fire. His "Waldnadchen,~
written a year later, was actually
performed, however, at Chemnitz'
Vienna, Prague and st. Petersburg.
Beethoven, on the other hand, was
hardly a prodigy composer, but as
an instrumcntalist he was considered
sufficiently responsible at 10 to 1ui-
fill the duties of organist at the
Vienna Electoral chapel, with when
his family had long been connected.
Bach, Wagner, Schumann and
Brahms we're also comparative late
development.

IN 3 R,GTY.

The close relation Of inebriacy to
insanity is indicated from the fact
that all forms of insanity, from mel
ancholia to imbecilitv, are found IN
inebriacy. 1t is artificial; it begins
with a slight maniacal excitation;
thoughts flow lucidly; the quiet be-
come loquacious, the modest bold;
there is need of muscular action; the
emotions are expressed in laughter,
singing and dancing. Now the es-
thetical ideas and moral impulses
are lost control of, the weak side of
the individual is apparent, his
secrets revealed; he 10 dogmatic,
cruel, cynical, dangerous; he insists
that he is not drunk, just as the in
sane insists on his sanity. Then his
mind becomes weak, his conscious
ness dim; illusions arise; he STAN
mers, staggers and, like a paralytic,
his movements are uncertain.

An earnest plea was made by At
torney Charles Pettijohn to Judge
Pritchard of the criminal court for
l%eniency to a client who had entered
a plea Of guilty to larceny. The

was that his client was the father OF

CHOPIN "FATHER OF PIANO"
Was the First Great Musician te
Show the Possibilities of the
instrument.

Constantin Won Sternburg, a mu-
sician and scholar of Philadelphia,
recently said in a lecture, which he
illustrated with selections from
Chopin's works, that before the time
Of that composer the piano was the
Cinderella among solo instruments,
used and esteemed solely for its
great utility, but never suspected to
possess a poetic beauty of its own.
Bach and Beethoven's works Ito
mention only these two giants)
make little or no use Of hat material
charm that lies in IT, tone quality
of the piano: when t are not abb
%stractly musical, their 5orks suggest
at every turn the orchestra and adj
nit easily of beina rchcstrated,
while Chopin's music les all such
attempts, except i'll e few cases
where he purposcly initiated the
brass band, as in the Funeral
March" and the "Polonaise Mill
taire." Chopin's art is welded to
that Cinderella to which he was the
prince that was not deceived by its
humblcncss, but made it the peer
if, indeed, not the superior-of all
solo instruments. And in discover
ing its poetic possibilities and ex-
ploring its II he has widened
its technique to an extent never
known before and never surpassed
since.

WHAT is A BILLION?

Great Britain clings to its own
numerical system and regards a bill
lion as a million times a million.
But America differs, a billion in the
United States being only a thousand
million. This is perhaps the only
instance in which a thing is bigger
in the old country than in the new.
One has to go only a little way from
England-to Calais-to find the bill
lion lessened; for France dignifes
ii thousand million with the name
OF billion. They are wasting a word
in France in this connection, how
ever, inasmuch as there is already
a word, milliard, to designate this
nImber.-The Sunday Magazine.

Way of a joke.

met a woman in the road as he al
riding on horseback to hold court in
Delta county, he being then district
Judge. The woman had a jug Of wa
ter and the judge was thirsty.
Being a man with a CHEEKY word
for every one, the colonel stopped
her.
"AIy dear madam" he said,
smiling, "if you will give me a drink
Of cool water from yonder jug, when
you want a divorce from your hus-
band | will see that it costs you
nothing"
"Are you a lawyer?" inquired the
woman, handing him the jug.
The colonel explained who he was,
and waving a farewell departed,
leaving the woman gazing after HIM
The very next morning the wom-
an showed up in the courtroom and
asked for him. She explained that
she wanted a divorce. She had beer
separated from her husband for Z
long While and the colonel had put
IN idea into her head.
The colonel was game, however
he procured a lawyer at his own eN'
pense and in due course of law th'
woman was given a divorce, and Col
