able musical temperament. She has
prepared a very attractive program
for the first occasion and will be as
sisted by Miss Mabel eMtz, soprano,
and Mr.. Arnold d. Scammell, organ
list, both members of the faculty.
This recital will be the first of
series of like events which will be
given each month during the fall
and winter terms by different
graded classes of the conservatory,
and no doubt they will prove of
great interest and assistance to the
pupils participating. This series of
recitals will be free to the public
and all are cordially invited to at
tend them.

In this city where society is
tinged with the foreign habits of
the diplomatic set and where ciga-
rette smoking is so common among
society women that it is no longer
of much comment, there Is a
strong feeling that the anti-cigar-
cite crusaders have been unfair in
directing their criticism at one or
two individual women smokers.
The practice, 1t has been pointed
out, Is not confined to any especial
few, but is quite general among
fashionable women. AS a regular
feature of practically every ultra
fashionable dinner party here, Gig
arettes are usually provided for
the women. The old-fashioned idea
of the women leaving the men at
the table to smoke their cigarettes
has almost entirely disappeared,
and now the men have their cig1
arettes and liquor In one room and
the women have theirs in another.

The Lesson That Ended His Kicks

When Emperor William II. was q

The late DR.. Drummond, the habit

dose was to be administered every

as possible, said: BE sure and keep

Divide understood and departed. The

correction OF this sort OF thing the
Prussians, in true German style, pre-

decided by a simple mathematical cal
cuIation how wide a channel 100 me-

the map in red ink, eliminating all
sharp turns, drew In graceful curves
and long straight reaches regardless Of
the existing banks two nearly parallel
lines, indicating the banks as they
were intended to be.
The engineers began at the head OF
the stream and built out from the old
shore to the location Of the red line

where they seemed to be needed they
built long parallel dikes exactly on the
new red line. Sometimes they wove
hurdles and revetment mattresses Of
willow brush, much as We do at home,
and sunk them on bars between the
tips of the transverse dikes. and then
on the top Of them set up upright
sticks and wove waffle or basket

"Under Control"

Before be made his reputation By
writing plays Vtctorien Sardou, the
Frsnch dramatist, who was deeply In
tsrssted In spiTitualism, had a remark
able experience In taking dictatioR.
He had been interested In occult phs-
nomena, and by chance he came into
communication with a spirit person
ality who signed himself Bernard
PaIkssy" 81. Sardou told the story Of
his experiments In an article entitled
''Only the BIindly Ignorant Scon" in
the Delineator. He said:
One day In my room with two
friends I thought / would make the
little table where we had taken our
coffee ran about the room, as / had
often done when alone. Without say
ing anything put my hand on the
table, but 1t would not bulge. / tried
In vain all the time they were there
to make It move, but TO no avail. AS
soon as they were gone cOlld make
IL do what 1 pleased, even jump clear
on the hooE. So took up my pencil
and asked, ''But why would you not
make the table move while my friends
were here?'' The hand which held ths
pencil wroee, "They were toe stupid"
Shortly after this l was sitting by
my table one day tdIing, dreaming, not
making any effort 20 do anything IN
particular All OF a sudden my hand
began TO work On the paper before me
with q rapidity and pCeeision which
astonished me. And It kept this up
for close to two hours. The result was

And my automatic hand wrote, sTbs
house OF Swedenborg, on the planet
Jupiter" This was considered as most
curious by all my friends, who knew
that personally I had no aptitude for
drawing. A plate was prepared, and
was given an etching tool The re-
suit, in the same order OF design, was
q more elaborate piece OF work, this
time curiously combined out Of all
sorts Of musical terms, clefS, notes
bars, and so on, and the whole was des-
iRnated as the house Of Mozart, also
on Jupiter, and the whole was again
signed "Palissy." IN fact, Bernard
Palissy became my almost constant
companion from this on, like my sec

introduce him, fingered in the hall.
The second was in the same predica-
msnt, as were the third, fourth, fifth
and other guests up to the ninth, who
shanced to be "the eminent parsonage"

Night Rate Reduced.

New York, March 6.--The Postal
Telegraph Cable Company announces
that beginning Monday night, March z,
it will render night letter service be-
tween all offices on its own telegraph
lines and the lines of its direct connec-
tions in the United States. Messages of
this new class will be known as night
letter kilograms. They will be accepted
at Postal Telegraph offices over the
country or by telephone in the usual
way.
The charge for night letter kilograms
OF so words or less will be the regular
day rate for 10 words, and one-fifth Of
this rate will be charged for each addi-
tional 10 words or less. They must be
written in plain English. Code or ci-
pher will not be permitted. They will
be accepted for transmission at night
and delivered at destination on the
morning OF the next ensuing business

of the company.
The Postal Telegraph Cable Company
couples the foregoing announcement
with a repetition of the statement re-
Gently made by Clarence H. Mackay to
the effect that the company has always
been independent and has no intention
of entering into any combination with
the Western Union and Bell Telephone
Company and that it intends to retain
independence and maintain active and
aggressive competition in the telegraph
field
