Patroness Of Music.

The origin of music is lost in an
tiquity. Among civilized people it is
probably 70 be traced to the ancient
Egyptian priests. who employed this
art in their religious rites and cere-
monies. From the Egyptians the
Greeks and the Romans derived their
knowledge Of music. The ancient He
brews probably took with them into
Palestine some Of the songs they had
learned in Egypt. The hymns used in
the temple formed the basis of the
melodies OF the early Christian church
aud from these hymns was formulated
the first authoritative musical system
St. Cecilia is termed the patroness OF
music.-Exchange

The spit Snake.

There is a snake belonging to the
small family causidae. inhabiting AZ

ejecting its venom to a short distance.
This snake is called by the Dutch
Beers "spuw slang" or spit snake
When this snake erects its teeth the
pressure Of the maxillary bone on the
gland causes the venom TO now in

that by discharglng air from its mouth
the poison may be blown some dis

GREAT CROWD AT CONGRESS.


WASHINGTON, March 19.-As early
as daylight a steady stream of people
began to pour into the capitol. Spec
ial police regulated the throng in the
halls. The public galleries were filled
before o'clock and, so crowded were
the halls, that police were stationed
on the stairs and no one was allowed
to go up unless he had special card
for one of the galleries. All the gal
leries were jammed full by II o'clock
A large proportion OF the spectators
were women.
Speaker Cannon was greeted by tre-
mondous cheering from the regulars
when he assembled the throne Of the
House at noon. Nearly every member
was present and many Joined in the
Lords prayer led by the chaplain.
Tho galleries were packed to the
doors and thousands of men and wom-
en- thronged the corridors ad stairways
unable to even secure a tentrance inside
the House chamber while scores Of sem
ators ex-senators and ex-members
grouped themselves in the open spaces
Of the house and banked themselves
four deep behind the brass railing at
the rear OF the members seats.
Seldom has more dramatic scene
been witnessed in the House than at
the conclusion Of the Speakers ruling,
as he stood pale faced but resolute
upon the marble rostrum and under
the great flag OF the nation, slowly
uttering these words:
Planting himself upon the law made
for the House by Speaker Randell, ap-
pealing from the passions Of this day
to the just reasons Of that day. the
chair sustains the point Of order and
holds that the resolution is not now in
order"

UNPRECEDENTED
Will, Speak in Defense of
His Play at Elk's Opera
House Tonight

II have watched the growth of the
Norfolk & Western country with as
much interest as any other section of

will appear before the curtain tonight
at the Elks' Opera house i'm defense
of his play Sins of tho Father to "A
Leader representative this afternoon
at the MatZ Hotel, and have seen

gan away below par, but IL has given
that within recent years n very mark

of the matter is that do not believe
pardon me for saying it--that Blue
field was on the map ten years ago.
I am present however to assert that
1t is vastly glued to the painting of
our country at the present writing,
and ! am more than amazed at the
wonderful commercial possibilities
which the surrounding district pre-
sents."
Mr.. Dixon who has written several
plays and novels of International I'm.
poTtance has dcvated from his rule
In the Sins of the Father" in that
he has written the play before the
novel. In this matter Mr.. Dixon says
that In giving the play first he is able
to drive home the truths OF the plot
in fewer words, and that the detailed
description can better follow In novel
form. Interest I'm the problem he
thinks Will be aroused In this play
and the more lengthy determinations
OF the novel will prove OF more endur-
Ing good. Mr.. Dixon Is now at work
on the novel and expects to complete
II within the next three o; foui
monthss. Sins Of the Father" is his
fourth play, and he thinks unpues-
tionably that II is his best work.

SALE Of HOLES
IS FORBIDDEN

New York, Oct. - Bakers OF other
cities desirous of laying I'm stock
OF plain and fancy holes OF assorted
shapes and sizes may secure the same
at cut prices from almost any baker
in the metropolis. Commissioner
Driscoll OF the Bureau of Weights and
Measures today put in effect his new
rule requiring bread TO be sold by
weight. Under such system. the
bakerss have no use for holes, which
have heretofore been largely used TO
give tho loaves of the "stan Of life"
a deceptive appearance Of size not
warranted bI the weight OF course.
holes will continue TO be used as
partial filling for pies, cream puffs
and other delicles of the baking art
Inspectors were sent out today to see
that the new ruling requiring the sale
of bread by weight IS strictly adj
hered to.

That an amendment to the constitu.
ton would be unconstitutional is, 20
say the least, a novel proposition. To
the thoughtful mind It must also ap.
pear exceedingly strange that Mr.NBa
ker this year gives a reason for his
vote which he did not consider OF sur
ficient importance to even mention in
his letter OF 1908, and which IT will
be found hard 20 reconciliato with
the reasons there given. in the 1908
letter Mr.. Baker rays:
"It is probable that the amendment
in the form proposed would. from
the very terms Of our constitution it.
self have gone into operation imme.
diately on its adoption, though IN
terms protesting to 90 into effect at a
much later date"
Tho proposition that the amend.
ment, under the constitution, would
probably go into effect Immediately
upon its adoption and the proposition
that It would be unconstitutional and
therefore, never go into effect cannot
bo reconciled
The whole tenor Of the 1908 letter
Is in conflict with the excuse now Civ
en-, that the measure would have been
unconstitutional. II Mr.. Baker was
sincere in the reasons given by him
for his vote in the letter Of 1908 1;
namely, that he believed the business
interests and the business people OF
his district were opposed to the
amendment; that it was absolutely
necessary for the foreign laborers 10
