The intellectual Eater.

The truly intellectual eater never
asks the price of his victuals He
orders freely, and as his fancy die
tates, of wild duck, terrapin, pfanne-
base, herring or venison, and after he
has eaten as much as he wants and
gone to sleep his secretary pays the
bill, says the Baltimore Sun He has
no time for haggling Every moment
of his leisure is devoted to eating. His
one regret is that he must stop now
and then to get shaved, to vote, to
kiss his wife. to spank his children, to
discharge the thousand and one other
oppressive duties of the civilized man.

a Birds Curiosity.

Prof. Guy A Bailey. member Of the
faculty of the Genesee State Normal
school, relates a little incident which
might be doubted were it not for the
fact that he has the proof to show for
the story Mr. Bailey was on Temple
hill with his camera attempting to get
picture of horned lark The lark
evidently thought that Mr.. Bailey
was providing it with bird house. as
1t hoped on to the camera. back into
the trees, and then back on the cam
era again.
The bird repeated this performance
several times. refusing to remain in
the trees long enough to be snapped.
Finally Mr.. Bailey left the camera
where he had located it, went and got
another camera. and when he returned
he secured a splendid picture of the
bird perched on camera No. 1. Curl
osity got the best of the bird. and the
result was novel picture. -Genesee

Sword Ma,inn il Lam.

No man knows when first the forge
for lighting weapons was set up in
the GAVIN OF Japanese history nor who
was the man who first replaced the
rude bronze blades OF primitive folk
by the tempered steel of the Yamato
blade. There is in the imperial COL
lection of swords at the castle of
Nara the weapon worn by the Crown
Prince Shotoku, who compiled the
Constitution of Seventeen Articles in
A. d. 693, the oldest sword known in
japan. From that weapon, which was
straight and not curved as all other
swords of Nippon are, down to the
fall of Tokugawa Shogunate in the
middle of the last century there is an
unbroken history of the art of the
swordsmith Twelve centuries of re-
corded art in sword making and the
names of over 10000 makers consti-
tute the history of the sword in Japan.

Requirements of Tragedy.

The clearest and most succinct
defamation of the dramatic unities
was made by Boilleau. when he laid
down the law that tragedy must
show "one action in one day and in one
place" 1t must deal with only a
single story; and this obligation is the
unity of action. 1t must never change
the scene. massing all it's episodes in
a single spot; and this is the unity of
place. And it must compact its sue
cessive situations into the space of "a
hours, into single day, and this Is
the unity of time-Atlantic.

Romance of Oriental Runs,

More than 5000 years ago, as tiles
and marbles from Nineveh show,
splendid fabrics were being produced
for the adornment of the palaces of
the kings of Assyria, and every
Oriental rug becomes a magic carpet
when one realizes how through the
long days of the long centuries these
simple people have been weaving in
with the colors of the jewels and the
rainbow the sunshine and shadow of
their own lives. How much of tears
and signing have gone to the tying
of the myriad knots or followed the
flying shuttle on its journeys to and
fro!

Great Painters Easy to Initiate.

How closely famous pictures can be
initiated by skilful artists was proved
by an exhibition by Ruskin in 1875
of a series of facsimiles of Turner's
pictures in the National gallery, Lon
don. The collection was accompanied
by characteristic note from Ruskin,
in which he said: Il have given my
best attention during upward of ten
years to train copyist to perfect
fidelity in rendering the works of Tur-
ner. and have now succeeded in en-
abling him to produce facsimiles so
close as to look like replicas-facsim-
lies which must sign with my own
name to prevent their being sold for
real Turner's"

Measuring Hardness.

The different methods hitherto used
for testing the hardness of metals and
minerals, such as scratching with a
diamond, filing or pressing with a steel
ball. do not measure precisely the
same quality, and are therefore open
to objection. A simple instrument the
scleroscope, has recently been invent
ed which measures hardness by the
rebound of a hammer with a fine
pointed end, which is allowed to drop
ON the tested substance from a little
height. By this device relative de-
grees of hardness can be expressed ex-
actly.

ALASKANS CLASH
OVER TAFT PLAN
GOVERNMENT BILL CAUSES
TORRID EXCHANGE
Former Governor Attacks Delegates
Record as Judge and Latter De-
clares He Thought Hoggatt
Was a Gentleman

WASHINGTON, March 24.-There
was a hot clash again today between
former Governor w. B. Hoggatt of
Alaska and Delegate Wickersham,
from that territory. in the meeting of
the house committee on territories en-
gagged in the consideration of the AL
asken government bill.
The former favors President Taft's
plan of a government by commission
and the latter wants a territorial form
of government. For some time there
has been a dispute between the two.
Today they pointedly interrogated
each other on their respective positions.
Delegate Wickersham asked Mr.. Hog
gait If the laters opposition to him
had not begun about the time Wicker
decided the Cobb mining case at Fair
banks.
YES" replied Hoggatt, because
then l was convinced you were not a
proper person to be on the bench
Mr.. Wickersham accused the former
governor of making public a letter
which he had written to him in con-
fidential capacity. Hoggatt admitted
the charge, whereupon Delegate Wick
ersham declared at the time he wrote
the letter he thought Governor Hog
gait was a gentleman"
The latter accused Wickersham of
changing his views on the subject of
Alaskan government and of being "a
trimmer" Both men announced their
intention of resuming their question
ing of each other tomorrow.

LOST HUSBAND MOI;
PUTS BOND ON NO. 2
Chicago Wife Finds Sprngtime Hard
on Mans Fidelity and Gets
Court Order to Keep Her
Lord at Homo
Especial to The Herald

CHICAGO, March 24.-That Mrs.
Sarah Kelmar, 4O39 Elk Grove avenue,
is a firm believer in the old adage,
IAN ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" was manifested in
court today when she caused her hus-
band, Harry Kelmar, to be placed un-
der $500 bonds to prevent him from
leaving home. Mrs. Kelmar has been
twice married. Her first husband, a
victim of the wanderlust germ, de-
serted her in Springfield when the
weather was balmy.
With the advent of balmy weather
three days ago and having a pre-
monition that hubby No. might
also become wayward, Mrs. Kelmar
swore out q warrant for his arrest
charging desertion. When the case
came up today the woman admitted
that her husband had not deserted
her and that she had no basis for her
charge, except her "hunch." Fearing
a repetition of her former experience,
however, she asked Judge Gemmill to
have Harry put under bonds to stay at
home. The judge ordered the bond and
after it had been signed, husband d
wife, arm in arm, walked from Ne
courtroom.
