The temple of art devoted to that peculiar form of entertainment yclept polite vaudeville" was crowded to suffocation as Messrs. Biff and Bang, the refined sketch team and sidewalk conversationalists, stepped jauntily to the footlights. In response to the deaf ening applause Messrs. Biff and Bang bowed condescendingly, as though it hurt them.
 Without further preliminary MT. Biff hit his partner on the rear of his am pie trousers with stuffed club, re- marking: Its wise man that knows his own mind"
 And MT. Bang, not to be outdone in this little exchange of pleasantries, promptly buried an ax in the skull of MT. Biff, remarking the while: Its a wise man that minds his own nose"
 Whereupon the intelligent audience screamed with delight and voted Biff and Bang the best ever. And yet they were frost in the London halls," commented man in the front row. "The English have no appreciation of real humor."

TO SAVE THE BOYS
ROBERT RA!KES' IDEA IN START.
 ING SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Movement That Is Now Worldwide Had Humble Beginning in an Eng fish City One Hundred Years
 Ago.

One Sunday morning, hundred years ago, a workingman, carefully dressed in his best suit, came out of his house on the main street of the old English town of Gloucester and strolled leisurely down the hill The New Inn was fronted then, as 1t is today, by a square garden overhung by the carved galleries of the tavern. There was a moss-clad well in the center, and about it were beds of sweet-smelling pinks and columblnes.
 But the calm of that Sunday morn ing was destroyed by a crowd of street boys who fought over the flower beds, making the day hideous with their noise and coarse talk.
 The printer-for printing was his work on weekdays stopped in the midst of the crowd and looked steadily at the boys. Presently he said to him. self: At this rate those boys will soon go utterly to the bad. That must not be! There are good possibilities in them. Here. boys," he called aloud, "come with me!'
 He led them, yelling and pushing, down the street into his own quiet house, planning as he went how to keep them there.
 'I am going" he said presently, "to start a school for you. Now and here. It shall be a free school; I will be the teacher"
 The boys received the news with shouts. They were too ragged and
 
 No other decent place was open to them.
 The next Sunday his house was crowded with the same class of chil- dren.
 The idea of free school on Sunday appealed to every Christian as a most hopeful plan for the rescue of children from wickedness. It spread through the town, through the shire, through England. It was adopted in France and Germany; it made it's way to Aus tralia and to the United States Now, in every country in the world and in every sect there are these schools, in which, every Sunday morning, the Bible story is told, without money and without price.
 In the staid old city of Gloucester they still show you the New Inn and the garden where the boys played. and the old brown house with its peaked roof in which Robert Raikes. that long ago morning, taught the first Sunday school.-FrOm Rebecca Hard ing Davis Three Little Stories" in St Nicholas.

THE PRICE OF GOOD MANNERS.

Good manners and politeness
are cheap, yet SO important and
such d great asset to child S
destiny that they may be consid-
cred the sine quo non factors
that make the man or woman.
Mr.. Richard Ross of our city,
touched on that subject in his
decoration DAY speech at St.
Paul church. 1t costs novhing
to raise your hats to ladies white
or black with whom you are &C
quainted; it costs nothing for
boys and girls to respect older
people. Say: Yes, sir; yes, mad
am; please, sir, etc.; always to
old people. 1t costs nothing for
men TO get up aud give ladies
their seats. it costs nothing to be
pious, discrete and not noisy on
street cars. This noisy part our
women are too guilty of-some
of our people forget that there
are other people, especially when
going to or coming from a club
or party. Some of our people
are noisy and fractions enroute
from church-you cannot be too
careful in your conduct on public
conveyances. A number of hotel
men forget that they are not sup.
posed to joke each other and car
ry on monkey antics before
their proprietors and the guests

themselves as men-people go to

Tessarin was greatly attached to his

GROWTH OF REDWOOD.

Few people realize the rapiditv NJ

trees of this family are a thousand
years or more in age, often attaining
size where they are larger than auv
other tree. excepting the famous bic
trees. redwood has the reputation of be-
ing a very slow growing tree. As a
matter of fact, redwood sprouts grow.
ing from stumps of older trees are
among the most rapid growing of our
native trees.
To illustrate this point, the United
States Forest service will exhibit at the
Alaska YukonP exposition in Seat
tie this summer, sections from a young
redwood sprout, together with explana-
tory diagrams showing it's rate of growth
In diameter, height and volume. This
tree. which was cut from the Dupont
Powder works tracts near Santa Cruz,
is over 80 inches in circumference at the
stump, almost 125 feet in height, and is
sions Indicate growth of over - inch
in diameter per year, and an annual
growth of almost 27-10 feet in height.
Trees of an even more rapid growth
were. seen in the Big river country Of
Mendocino county, California, where
redwood sprouts over 30 inches in di-
ameter on the stump and 125 to 100
feet In height were found growing on
land cut over 40 to 45 years ago. Red
wood sprouts thus rival in their rate
of growth the much lauded eucalyptus.

1t is better to cook too slowly than

Marble should be washed with am.
monia and water rather than with soau

A great many blemishes on wal!

The bureau drawer can be made to

Dried lemon peel sprinkled over
Goals will destroy any disagreeable
Odor about the house.
Combs soon warp and break If
washed with water. A good stiff nail
brush cleans them well.
A weak solution Of turpentine poured
down the water pipes once a week will
drive the water bugs away.
To cool an oven while baking never
leave the door open, but cool it by the
drafts or removing one Of the plates
over the oven.
Half lemon dipped in salt is ex.

PARIS FOR MORE PARKS.
a Plan That Will Heighten the Beauty

identifying Paris is on the way of be-
ing carried out. 1t is proposed to rae
the Notifications that form a wall about
the city and convert them with the mill
tary zone in front of them into beautiful
parks and play grounds.
This would make a belt of parks
around Paris more extensive than the
park system of any other city. There
would be nine parks of $50 acres each.
The ancient walls and Notifications
serve no purpose in this day of long
range guns except to make it easier for
customs officers to keep smugglers out
