prince perhaps Lima never would have
risen higher than the Folies Bergere.
for, after all, she was a better dancer
than singer at that time, and more
successful beauty than either sing

of the prince she quit the bright lights
of the theaters and cafes and settled
down to a few years of hard study,
and when she again made her appear
ance before the public-in Lisbon this
time-it was on the operate stage
and as a dangerous rival of all the
then accepted song birds of Europe.
Voice culture was not all Cavalieri
had learned in her retirement. The
Russian prince had been teaching her
lessons in love as we'll. Whether
Lima really had learned them or
whether she acted from an impulse
of gratitude is not certain, but any
way she married the prince and they
lived happily-almost year.

Extraordinary Success Claimed FOL
Sir James Grants Method-Vl-

London.-Sir James Grant, the we'll
known Canadian physician, a recipi-
ent of many foreign honors, believes
that he has discovered, not exactly
the elixir of life, but at any rate a
means of greatly prolonging youth
back to some extent.
Sir James Is himself the best adver-
tisement of his method, for he pos
sesses amazing vitality for his age,
now nearly seventy-seven years. He
is visiting London, and he looks like
a man in his fifties. His secretary,
a young man, says it is difficult to
keep up with the work his employer
does.
Two years ago Sir James created
a sensation at a meeting of the Brit
ish association by a paper on the ex-
traordinary rejuvenating powers OF
electricity. He has since then treat.

from this madhouse and the subse-

the world are matters very generally
remembered. Half a dozen times

that of Chanler, the escaped mono.

Answering all these things Chanler
appeared In Virginia court one day

courts of South Carolina subsequent

Judgment of Virginia. Thus Chanler
lives today on his Albemar1e county

When a hunter had padded up

The other kind of boat which the

dugout. Usually six persons could
ride in one Of those round-bottom
boats, but a kind Of war canoe was
made so that thirty or forty sayages
might be carried at one time when a
tribe was on the war path. The small
boats which were usually about fif-
teen feet long were followed out of
pine logs. If an Indian worked
steadily he could make one of these
in three weeks.

BLIND TAUGHT FARM
Two New York Boys Learn Art
in Clinton Park.
One Of Them Becomes So Expert Can
Separate Lettuce and Carrot
Seeds and Tell Color OF
Different Flowers.

New York.-The Children's Farm
School in De Witt Clinton Park has
| taught two blind boys to raise crops
equal in every respect to those Of the
children who can see. In fact, Mrs.
Henry Parsons, in charge of the
| school, and Mr.. Brady, the boys teach
| er, insist that in the matter of beets
and carrots the blind children's work
was superior.
The subjects of the experiment are
| Carl and Peter, each IS years old and
strong boys for their years. Peter is
totally blind and has to be led every
| where. Carl, who can't distinguish
anything more than four inches away
from his eyes, has just enough vision
SO that he can go and fill Peters wa
tering pot.
Carps sister used to bring him to
the park playground. Leaving him on
bench she would run off to the
| swings, and the boy would sit there
listening to the other children play
ing. A gymnasium instructor saw
Carl sitting there day after day and
tried to think Of some occupation for
him. Finally the instructor suggest
ed that plot in the school garden be
given to the boy. Then one day Carl
came bringing Peter, and Mrs Par
sons decided to try the experiment of
teaching the blind gardening for
pleasure If not for profit.
On June 10 they began teaching
Peter and Carl to raise beans, beets,
carrots, onions, radishes, lettuce and
corn, just as the other children do.
A wooden fence was built around
Peters plot, along which cords were
| strung to serve as guides to the five
rows of Crops" which were to be
planted. Feeling these and measur-
ing the distances by his fingers and
arm Peter drew his miniature burrows
and dropped or sprinklea his seeds.
In his first attempt to cover the seeds
| he knocked the rows askew, but then
| by placing his hand on that of his
teacher while he did row in the
right way Peter mastered that art.
No grown-up farmer would like to
weed with his eyes shut, but that is
| what both Peter and Carl had learned
TO do. They were taken to other chill
dren's plots, allowed to feel the differ
ent seedlings as they appeared, and sc
taught to distinguish the tiny plants
from weeds. Hand hoes not more
than foot long were made for them
By keeping their left hand fingers a
few inches ahead of the blade they
did their hoeing without cutting down
the vegetables.
| Several weeks ago came the time
for the first harvesting on the Chill
dren's Farm, which raises two rounds
of crops in a summer. AS radishes
beets and beans approached maturity

more tAan passing attention until one
morning there appeared little red
book bearing across it's front cover
the somewhat singular title. 1.-The
Quick or the Dead"
Society gasped. It was the original
best seller. No one ever really knew
how many copies of that startling
book were sold, and the chief magnet
Of it all was the fact that 1t had
been written by a girl of twenty-five
years, reared in the somewhat straight
atmosphere of an old Virginia house,
and having, presumably, no first hand
information on the fetid world OF
which her book told.
And the hero Of the thing was
Chanler. She even describes Jack
Deering.
There was the same curling, brown
hair above the square, strong-modeled
forehead, the determined jut of the
nose, the pleasing unevenness In the
crowded white teeth, the fine Jaw
which had that curve from ear to tip,
like the Prov of cutter"
Then the Marriage.
Then, only a few weeks after the
publication of this sensational novel,
came the announcement of the mar
riage of Chanler and Miss Rives.
They went abroad and established a
fund for sending chosen American art
students to the European schools.
Both were interested in painting,
Miss Rives even having at one time
painted the portrait of nude woman
with herself as model

And two years later began the ro-
mantic-tragic motif Of John Arm
strong Chanler's life. He was a de-
vetee of the occult, studied closely
the psychic, which has since come

said to assume resemblance to the
death mask of Napoleon. and believed
himself able to write automatically

Chanler had hunted brigands in Mex
leo, travelled about the world in quest
of excitement, and what may be more
to the point, had a fortune of one
and a half millions. His family
wasn't partial to his vagaries and
had his sanity attacked. By means
which Chanler has always since de-
nounced as fraudulent the other

he would soon learn he must stand up

That in Boarding Institution Not
Natural, Says Bishop.
Not Only Do Children Suffer, but Par
ents Also, Who Lose Most Sacred
Of Parental Duties-One
Who Disagrees.

London.-A striking appeal to the
upper and middle classes not to send
their boys to the "barrack life" of the
boarding school, and SO remove them
from the home influence, is made by
the bishop Of Hereford.
The bishop was speaker at the
public morals conference, which was
held at the Caxton hall, Westminster.
The object Of the conference has
been described as "a very earnest at
tempt to convert Mrs. Grundy"-to ef-
feet reforms in the moral education OF
boys and girls.
Speaking on Education for Parent
hood" the bishop said the English
people of the upper and middle classes
hal, drifted far too much into an al
most exclusive preference for board.
ing school education.
"Boarding-school life is not natu-
raj life for the young" he declared.
"It is not only the children who suf-
fer from being sent into barrack life,
but the parents also suffer because
they lose the most sacred responsible
ties of parental duties.
"My experience as head master of
Clifton college-which is both a day
school and a boarding school-leads
me to the conclusion that the best
form of school education for boys of
the upper and middle classes is that
in which the boy is able to live under
the influence of good home life.
cat the same time a boy can enjoy
all that Is best in a well organized
boarding school"
A schoolmaster of several years. ex-
perience gave several reasons why he
