TUNING a Bell.

No matter how great may be the
care taken in making the mold, bell
has to be tuned before it will ring a
clear, true note. AS q matter Of fact,
every bell sounds five notes. all OF
which must blend together harmo-
niously. If one is the least bit out the
tone will be spoiled. The first OF
these notes is produced by the vibra-
lions at the mouth of the bell. the Sec
ond by the vibrations little higher
up, the third still higher up, and so
on to the fifth. which Is produced
quite near the top. AS the character
Of the sound which rings depends
upon the thickness of the metal. 1t Is
possible. by taking thin shavings from
various places in the inside Of the
bell, to alter the five notes until they
are all In harmony.

how the earth Keeps up a necessary

Mr., RoOSeVelt's Remarkable Silence

Mr.. Roosevelt has been at Oyster Bay
over a month, and in that time he has
had at least 1000 opportunities to say what
he thinks of the Aldrich tariff. He has
however not uttered a single word on
that subject. He talks literature, so he
saws. with the politicians, but never
word does he speak concerning the tariff
and the cost of living. And yet these
are to be the two subjects that the poll
Ing contest of next November is to turn
upon, rather than literature or English
sone birds which was the subject of Mr..
-Roosevelts signed article last week.
The situation raises some interesting
questions. If Mr.. Roosevelt continues
m nose as the countrys counsellor at
large and as the counsellor in particular
of the distressed republican party of New
York state can he successfully evade, not
TO saw dodge the Aldrich tariff and the
trusts that made it and the increased
cost of living that grows out Of it? saga

of political pilgrims if they are to see
there a. sign, mo tariff advice dealt out

But if the colonel will not talk about
the tariff these states will when repupll-
can party primaries are held in them, as
follows: Kansas, August II; Missouri
August 2; Oklahoma, August l6; Callfor-
MIA. August IS; Nebraska, August le' and
Idaho, August 30 These states will talk,
even if Colonel Roosevelt's lips are sealed
concerning the dominant and controlling
issue of the campaign. The western pri-
maries will pay small attention to Eng

School Attendance Of ibe State

1T is a disgrace to Alabama says
Governor Conner, near the close of a four
year term. land an outrage that false
statements are being spread broadcast
that our state is illiterate. and that there
is no effort being made to prevent it,
How illterate Alabama is will soon be
made known officially in black and white,
and no one will be able to contradict the
census figures. If Alabama succeeds in
escaping the tail-end position she will do
mighty well, for both North Carolina and
Louisiana have been striving to get out
of that unenviable position, and they
came to Alabama's relief ten years ago
Discussion of Alabama's percentage of
illiteracy is useless when the census
bureau holds the facts and will soon make
them known, allotting to each county its
share of the responsibility.
There is, however, one fact that need
not await anything before it is discussed.
The true test of public schools is not the
enrolment figures which can be manipu-
lated. The true test is the average at
tendance-the number, in other words, in
the schools day by day. Out of the 100000
children of school age in this state only
264,OOO were actually in school last year.
Four years ago the average attendance
was 246O0o. The gain in four years was
IS 900! A gain of $500 year would call
for an effort one hundred years long in
order to get the children into the schools
to the extent that children in Iowa go to
school,
Today one-third of the children of Ala
bama are struggling with the three RS
while two-thirds do not go to school.
Why is this? Is the number of school
buildings insufficient? Are the schools
poorly supervised and conducted?
Whatever the answer may be, the aver
age attendance stands at 264, AS. and the
number of children of school age in the
state continues to be ZOO, 900, with ten
dency upward.

Minnesota treasury is overfuil. and

On October 1 the state treasury will

INsURING HIS HONESTY

From the Green Bag.
A shrewd old Vermont farmer came into
a lawyers office the other day and pro-
ceeded to relate the circumstances in a
matter about which he thought 1t would
be profitable to go to law"
you think l hev got a good case?" he
finally asked.
VERY good, indeed!' the lawyer as
sured him. you should certainly bring
suit"
What would your fee be fer the whole
thing?' the old farmer asked.
Fifty dollars" was the prompt re-
ply.
The client pulled out an old wallet. ex-
tracted roll of bills. and counted out
$50.
Now" he said. you hev got all you
would get out of this case, anyhow; so
s'pose you tell me honestly just what
you think my chances of winnin' a suit
are?"

Girl srENoGRArHERs MUST GO

From the Washington Post.
Uncle Sam turns his back on the girl
stenographer The fair sex must give
way to the brute sex. The sweeping de-
cree issued by the civil service commits
sion stating for dismissal all the girl
stenographcrs as fast as men can be
found to take their places sounds as re-
morseless as the order for the removal
of aged clerks. In fact, it has more ter
rors for women employed in the depart
ments than the discriminatory RUE
against old age. They apprehend that the
passing of the girl stenographer fore
shadows crusade against employment OF
woman clerks in general
The civil service commission declares
that the girl stenographers are less amen
able to discipline than men. are less east
ly shifted about to places where their
services are needed. and are less adapted
to other kinds of work. But do not these
objections. all of minor character, ap-
ply with equal force to women employed
in other clerical capacities? Also. Is not
this fiimsy bill of indictment outweighed
by the lapses characteristic of the male
stenographer?
This new move in pursuance of soul
less policy of recent adoption is calcu-
lated to arouse the indignation of woman
hood from the shouting suffragette to the
meek Quakeress. The average man, too,
will not take kindly to the idea OF dis
possessing the girls of their means OF live-
lihood for no better reasons than those
which the government urges.
The people Of Washington in particular
may be expected to cry out against the
exclusion of woman from field Oh OPP

has encouraged her to fit herself, ana

ton prescribed by the civil service COM
mission. The residents of Washington
are in close touch with the departmental
service and they know that the reasons
given for the wholesale dismissal OF
stenoeraphers are wholly insufficient, even
If they are well founded.
Aside from the cause of the girl stenos-

THOMAS ON THE DRAMA
Distinction Made Between Audiences In
New York And Elsewhere.

From the Chicago Tribune.
New York-Augustus Thomas. the NAV.
wright, who winters In New Rochelle and
summers at East Hampton. came UP to
New York Monday looking for local color
and consented to say something about
the drama. He has two plays which are
to be produced soon; one, THE Member
from Ozark which the Shuberts will
bring out in Detroit early in September
and the other, THE Jew" which Charles
Frohman will put on
Last season skemed to be productive .,
said Mr.. Thomas. "One interesting thing
about 1t was the success of younger
men, like Porter Emerson Browne and
Winchell Smith
7 don't know that the public taste for
plays changes. 1t gets a little faster all
the time-that is to say, 1t gets little
swifter In intelligence AS for a change
in the kind of play desired by the pub

any department. The public Is not mar
ried to a stencil.
I'm America | think audiences might
be divided into two classes-New York
and elsewhere In the outside country
they are apt to take play of fair merit
on elemental lines, whereas New York
demands superlative merit If the. play
deals with elemental subjects, while ii
will take TO an ordinary play If the lat
ter is sufficiently vaudeville mean COM
ically novel. New York wants novelty
or it wants the record broken for some
thing or other. I don't mean that New
York asks to be shocked, but it wants
you to make some contribution to thought
on the subject that is tackled.
1.-The situation in England with respect
to American plays. is like 1t always has
been-they don't know enough about US
to be interested IN our plays, and those
that have succeeded over there like Or

ORIGIN OF "MISEREREo

From the Boston Globe.
Men of genius are confessedly creatures
of mood. Grief and adversely have often
been a real help to them, rather than a
hindrance. Poe, it is said. produced THE
Raven while sitting at the bedside of
his sleeping but dying wife. Many sim
liar instances might be cited, but an anec-
dote of Verdi told by Carlo Cecarelli will
suffice
On one occasion, when verdf>was en-
gagged on his well-known opera, I'll Trov-
atore,' he stopped short at the passag,
of the "Miserere, being at loss to
combine notes of sufficient sadness and
pathos to express the grief of the pris-
oner Manrico
Sitting at his piano in the deep still
ness of the winter night, his imagination
wandered back to the stormy days of his
youth, endeavoring to extract from the
past a plant, groan, like those which
escaped from his breast when he saw
himself forsaken by the world All in
vain!
One day at Milan he vas unexpectedly
called to the bedside Of a dying friend.
one of the few who had remained faith
full to him in adversely and prosperity
Verdi, at the sight of his dying friend
felt lump rise in his throat: he want
ed to weep, but SO intense was his grief
that not tear flowed to the relief of his
anguish.
In an adjoining room>stood a piano.
Verdi, under one of those sudden i'm
pulses to which men of genius are some
times subject, sat down at the instru-
ment, and then and there improvised the
sublime "Miserere" of the "Trovatore :"
The musician had given utterance to his
grief.
