A PEEVISH POEM

A PEEvISH POEM.
My thoughts, my dear
Are very queer
I'll set them down on paper;
For thus, you know,
III earn some dough,
And cut proper caper;
Poor folks are driven now to write,
And WELD a pen both day and night
The dun-wolf from the door 10 fight
Pay tradesmen, draper.
The price OF meat
And things we eat
Is really most annoying,
With written toasts
And printed roasts
My appetite I'm cloying;
For folk, my child, must now days
Upon their thoughts nor Of their
greed
Y appetites take too much heed
In fasting, joying.
The things we wear,
Imported hair,
And furbelow and frilly,
Have climbed so high
The human eye
With watching them grows silly;
Like Eve without her Paradise
With written leaf Il thus surmise)
Her nakedness we must devise
To cover, lily.
They say that rice
Is very nice,
Our problems solved, 'tis stated;
| scorn the stuff!
It's pretty rough
To live by what you've hated;
If this fierce tariff higher goes,
Sans food, sans fire, sans even
clothes,
Most sadly out OF joint my nose,

opportunely.

WhistIer,s PecuIinrltlea.

The following description Of James
Mcneil Whistler is taken from a new
volume on the Boston Museum o.
Fine Arts by Julia DeWolf Addison
Whistler was as exotic to look at as
TO listen to. With Italian cast Of
face. black hair and a little imperial
beard he combined bright blue eyes
and one white lock Of hair in front In
which he took much pride. He
treated Il as an aigrette and always
recognized the existence of this white
lock in his own color scheme. His
voice was harsh and inslstent. He
wore a tall hat with a flat, straight
brim and long black bow tie, one
end of which was flung over the
shoulder He carried a slender bam-
boo cane, extremely long, so that his
hand was at higher level I'm walk
Ing with It than the hands of other

men-quite in the manner of La
Tosca as usually represented. He
wore a rimless monocle, no string at
tached. OF these he kept an un-
limited supply; for If one fell, it us
ually broke, and he took no notice of
the accident but simply extracted an
other from his waistcoat pocket.
Whistler found rest in change of
occupation; when weary of oil paint
ing he turned to etching and next TO
lithography. One art did not inter-
fere with the other, but amplified his
abilities and resulted in a steady but
not fatiguing work.
Julian Hawthorne says: Both as
an artist and a9 a man he belongs in
a class by himself. His step was
light and rather short and his shoul-
ders had an impatient twitch as he
moved to and fro. There is an i'm
mense good nature in Whistler which
is hidden from the public by the
notorious sharpness of his epigrams.
He will tolerate not the slightest sus-
picion of humbug or pretense; but
there is the tenderest, most fragrant
feeling in him for all that is good
and true in mankind"

DON'T LICK YOUR
POSTAGE STAMPS.

Whoever thinks that the old-time
zest Of danger is gone from life in
these piping days of peace has failed
TO reckon with the discoveries OF
science. The peril of dragons and
hippogriffs and evil wizards that be-
sieged our forefathegs' pathway were
as nothing compared to the deadly
menace that awaits us now in the
handling OF a dollar bill or the lick
ing of 2-cent postage stamp.
The postage stamp ordinarily con-
sidered so innocent, Is the latest
region of terror that the doctors have
explored. An eminent English scien-
tist has just declared, after long
months of investigation and experi-
ment, that anybody who licks an
everyday postage stamp had as well
go thrust his head into the gullet of
a hungry lion. For these stamps are,
or at least may be, laden with bill
lions of bacteria. And to make the
situation more horrible still, these
bacteria have been named-staphy-
lococci
The staphyloeocei, we are told, are
grapelike organisms which swarm
the air like sparrows on a June morn
ing. Whenever they see speck of
dust they hoist sail and speed toward
It. Having arrived, they take posses
sion, build themselves homes on the
apeok and proceed to exemplify Col.
Roosevelt's pet commandment. Thus
In the course OF a day or so they can
boast population greater than
Pekin or Greater New York's.
And so whenever you lick a post
age stamp you are likely to lick up
several continents of staphyIococoi,
any one OF which is as dangerous as
dynamite. Only a few months ago
the United States Department Of
Chemistry let II be known that 4O,-
O0O. 100000 germs had been found
on a single dollar bill. Who can say
that life isn't existing these days2
Just at present We are entering the
thick OF danger, for the house fly is
unfolding his tent and every school
child knows that a fly-why. a fly s.
a very Old Scratch.

CONDITION
OF LABOR
IMPROVED

Washington, July 30.--The dig
Ring of the Panama Canal has re-
versed the condition regarding labor
which confronted the United States
at the outset Of the big task. No
longer according to the reports from
the Isthmus is 1t necessary to send
agents abroad to contract for labor
Despite the great number needed for
the work voluntary immigration
from Greece, Italy, Spain, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Colombia and Venezuela now
is sufficient to supply all demand for
the big force.
The volume of immigration in the
case OF the European laborers has in
creased nearly 1000 per cent, and
in the case of the West Indians, over
so per cent, as compared with the
first six months of 1909.
Nearly every vessel sailing from
foreign port brings an additional lot
of laborers. and within the past few
months immigration among the
Greeks and Italians has been steadi-
ly increasing. AS near as can be
estimated about so per cent of the
steerage passengers from Europe at
the present time are Spaniards, while
the remaining so per cent is more
or less equally divided between
Greek and Italians.
Formerly the stowaway class con-
stituted quite a factor in the immi-
grafton movement and there is d
case on record where vessel arrived
at Colon with 2aS stowaways on
board including a number OF women.
At that time laborers were in de-
mand on the canal works, and under
the agreement with the Republic of
Panama respecting the importation
of labor, the stowaways were
allowed to land without the re-
quisite amount of cash, and a large
number of them went to work on
the canal. For some time past, how
ever, stowaways have been returned !
TO the countries from which they en-
barked, which has discouraged the
practice to great extent, and caused
steamship officials to be more alert.
Stowaways have been especially num-
erous on the islands of Barbados,
stealing on deck unseen, or going on
board on some fictitious errand and
hiding themselves as the opportunity
offered while the vessel lay at anchor
on cargo.
With the present surplusage Of
European labor on the Isthmus the
Commission has been compelled TO
hold to the rule of filling vacancies
in the labor ranks from the contract
men, whenever contract men are
work.

How TO Bake Planked Fish.

At a permanent camp it is pos
sible to have planked fish as a
special camp delicacy. Take along
to camp with you the necessary num-
Der of "planks" of planed oak. from
l to l Y inch thick and varying in
size according to requirements. For
the average bass or trout twelve
inches long will be satisfactory.
Scrub plank and dry in open air.
Rub in a spoonful Of olive oil or
melted butter on the surface selected
for cooking. Place plank in the oven
and when it gives out a pale blue
smoke, place your fish on it. Baste
the fish with olive oil or melted but
ter and season with pepper, but no
salt Allow usual time for baking
but turn the fish often, so 1t may
be thoroughly permeated by the acid
of the gas which is formed between
it and the plank. When the fish is
nearly done make a border of
mashed potatoes round it on the
plank and return to the oven until
potato is nicely Drowned. Arrange
fried onions, boiled peas or beans
within to potato border according to
fancy and serve on the plank. The
planks must never be washed but
simply wiped clean and dried with
the cloth used in greasing it, then
hung up in a muslin bag to protect
1t from dust Recreation for
August.

Onportunities at West Point.

The course of instruction in the
United States Military Academy at
West Point procides an education of
which any young man may feel
proud. Few schools in the world oc-
cupy sites which compare with it in
beauty, while the buildings, equip
ment and historical associations stim-
ulate enthusiasm and ambition. The
training is of the highest order. The
young graduate from West Point
commands attention and respect not
enjoyed by those emerging from col
leges and universities. His services
are in demand, for he has been
taught how to do things, and do them
promptly, says an exchange.
1t is, therefore, surprising that the
West Point classes are below their
full quota. Not so many years ago
scores of bright, ambitious boys were
bending every energy to secure an
appointment, and the few successful
ones were the envy Of hundreds.
Evidently the difficulty of securing
the scholarship has in these days
been overestimated, or there would
now be the long waiting list of few
years ago. Each state is entitled to
but two scholarships each year, to
which are added 40 from the country
at large. Appointment is by the
President, usually upon recommenda-
tion Of senator or representative.
At the present time there are "a
vacancies which cannot be filled un-
der the present law. These vacancies
are due partly to the failure of some
states to furnish their quota this
year and partly to students who have
dropped out for one reason or an
other. Colonel Scott, superintendent
of the academy, has recommended to
the House committee, which is con-
a bill to change present con-
ditions of admission, that where an
appointee fails to enter, the man
standing second in the same examina-
tion for entrance be appointed to the
vacancy thus caused. The recon-
is excellent and should be
