The Romance That Kept Charles Vii
Iiers Single All His Life.
Charles villiers. long the father of
the house of commons" never mar
ried, but he was the hero of a ro-
nance which is described in the
"Reminiscences and Correspondence of
Nine. Olga Norikof'' as having lasted
all his life.
Villiers was once on the eve of mar
rying a very rich spinster. The lady,
however, was imprudent enough one
day to say to her dance that she knew
very we'll he only wanted to marry
her money and not herself.
villiers' a~ristocratic dignity mani
tested itself. He took SSis hat, bowed
to the lady and said that after that
remark there could be no more ques-
ton of marriage between them. Off
he went.
Strangely enough. the deserted spin
ster spent the next thirty years In try
ing In vain to see him to make up.
He never came near her or gave her
a chance of coming near him. "And
do you know" remarked Lady Gilbert,
who told me the story. 'she still loves
him and cherishes his memory"
"Oh, that is charming! Quite a ro-
mancet' | exclaimed. Tell the lady
to lunch with me tomorrow" We were
acquainted. "Charles Villiers is com
Ing"
Lady Gilbert delivered my message
The two old people met at my hotel
after which the lady. humbly asked
Charles yilliers to call on her. He ac
cepted the invitation. When we were
alone together she said: do yor
know, Nine. Norikoff. he is not In the
least altered after all these years. Ht
is exactly the same In looks and man
ners."
OF that, of course, I could have NJ
opinion. But surely thirty years be
fore the old Charles Villiers was mel
Their half bent nor half blind. How
ever the old time friendship was re
newed and lasted until the lady,
death a few years later.
She left him the greatest part of hel

DEATH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Boulder Colo
Give description of Death valley and of the
Amaragosa river In California. Why so named !?
1t is the sink of the Amaragosa
river that is called Death valley. The
Amaragosa rises in the state of Ne
vada in the Sierra Nevada only a few
miles from the California boundary
line. 1t flows southwark nearly paral-
lei with that boundary, then crosses
the border into California. and soon
disappears in a sink or the bed of a
dry lake at the foot of the Resting
energies and flows through the valley
still southwark about so miles, when
the bed of another dry lake swallows
1T up. Emerging from this the river
flows around the hill which contains
the Amaragosa mines. It then turns
and flows toward the northwest 100
miles. when 1t sinks wholly out OF
sight and further knowledge in Death
valley. This valley is in Inyo county
between the Panamint mountains and
the Amaragosa range. 1t is about 40
miles long and about miles wide
Part of its bed is 159 feet below the
level of the sea. The sides rise about
1000 feet. 1t acquired it's name in
1S49 when a party of emigrants in try
ing to cross it. died of thirst and star
vation. In the coolest and highest
part of the valley the thermometer
stands 125 degrees.
j. A. W, Berkeley What is the difference
between barytone and a tenor voice and what
Is the compass of each?
The difference between the barytone
and the tenor voice is one of quality
not of range. Salassa's A fat on the
treble c1ef is a higher tone than some
tenor voices attain. A tenor voice
sounds higher" 1t is nearest in quail
lty TO the contralto voice of a woman,
though it is vibrant and masculine in
character. The barytone voice par
takes of the nature of the bass, though
1t does not usually reach so low Some
barytones, however, may sing deeper
tones than some basses. The difference
Is usually matter of training A de-
veloped bass voice will sing lower than
cultivated barytone and a cultivated
tenor voice will sing higher than a
barytone. Fundamentally the differ
ence between the quality of the three
voices is one of color and as impossible
to analyze as the difference between red
green and violet The difference is
matter of vibration. 1t is the differ
ence between the G string of a violin
and the, A string of cello and the
high notes of a double bass

Manual Training

Boys in the SIXTH, seventh
and eighth grades learn the
uses and proper care oMools for
woodworking. They make
manyuseful articlesforthe home
and office, also articles that ap-
peal especially to boys fancies,
as sleds, snow shoes, etc.
The course of the first year
in the high school is cabinet
making and mechanical draw
ing. The boys learn how to
make all kinds of joints. and to
apply the same in pieces of
furniture and other articles.
Considerable choice is g ven in
the articles to be m,de, each
student paying for the materirl
used and taking the finished
product home. The applica-
tions of stains and varnlshes is
also taught.
In mechanical drawing the
students learn the uses of draft
ing instruments through geo.
metrical constructions, projec-
tons, intersections and the
making of working drawings.
In the second year advanced
cablnet~making and machine
drawing are taken up. It is
hoped that some arrangements
may be made before the end
of the year to offer a course in
wood turning. ..~.
