The rapie growth of feathered millinery is having a great deal to do with increases in reath- CT raising The culture which MT Frazier is carrying on is in apprecla'ion of the vast market for the proper kihu of feathers. With the potato process ne can grow feathers a great deal 1asteE than if they were permitted to grow on the fowls and at the same tlme they are better, more pliable and are at once valuable.
 This story may sound somewhat strange to those who have never be- fore known of this. But l have been to this farm and Mr. Frazier is known in the east and he is rapidly making a wide name for his productions.

WHEN PAGANINI PLAYED

IIeine: "The Florentine Nights
 It was in the theatre at Hamburg that first heard Paganinis violin. A re- ligious hush pervaded the whole assem- bly; every eye was directed toward the stage every ear was strained for hear ing. At last dark figure, which seemed to ascend from the under world, appeared on the stage It was Papanini in full evening dress-black coat and waistcoat cut after a most villainous pattern, such as Is perhaps in accordance with the in fernal etiquette of the court of Proser- pine and black trousers fitting awkwardly to his thin legs. Tn the angular contor- tions of his body there was something so painfully wooden, and also something So like the movements of doll animal, that a strange disposition to laugh overcame the audience; but his face, which the glaring footlights caused to assume an even more corpse like aspect than was natural to it, had in it something so ap- pealing-something so imbecile and meek that a strange feeling of compassion restrained all tendency to laughter. Had he learned his reverences from an auto maton or from performing dog?
 Then were heard melodies such as the nightingale pours forth in the gloaming when the perfume of the rose intoxicates her heart with sweet forebodings of spring,

THE REAL ZAGLORA

From Chronicle and Comment" in the
 December Bookman.
 The real Zagloga, Mme Helene Mod ,eska tells us in her Memoirs and Im- pressions," which have just been\ pub lished by the Macmillan company, was a certain Captain Pietrowsli, whom the Modjeskas and Henryk Sienkierwcz knew in California. Like the hero who dominates the pages of Fire and Sword" ''The Deluge" and "Pan Michael" Captain Pietrowski was a gourmet, very tall and very stout, and requiring a vast amount of food to satis- fy his colossal appetite. He was a curious type, Mme. Modjeska remarks He seemed suited rather to the Six teenth or Seventeenth century than to our modern era. His humor was the humor of Sir Toby Belch or Falstaff Even his language was unusual. It was quaint, much more correct and crisr than our diluted and distorted gabble of the Twentieth century. When the Modjeskas met him, he was widower bt1t had lived separate from his wife long before she died. Of course, no com ronplace grievance could explain the matrimonial dissensions of man who stood as the model for Zagloba. Pietro- Wski and his wife separated for the req son that she adored garlic and he dotN on cheese, and neither could tolerate the taste of the other.

bench of the supreme court of Georgia. and he then resumed the practice of law in Augusta. No one stands higher in Georgia as a man or as a lawyer than the new appointee.
 The third appointee comes from distant Wyoming. He is now a judge of the Eighth judicial circuit. Judge Vande- vanter's experience in one of the depart ments at Washington and later on the federal bench will serve him well when he takes a seat in the highest court.
 No matter how the politicians may re- gard the three appointments they are ex- cel1ent. All three are men of high char acter and profound legal learning. All three will act on the bench without bias or prejudice, and the south is particular ly proud that republican President rein forced his appointment of Justice Lurton with Edward Douglass White of Louis iana and Joseph Fucker Lamar of Geor- gia. chief justice and two associate justices from the south will answer very we'll until democratic President is seat ed. Thanks. MT. Taft.

The Chief Justiceship

"It is well known that President Taft has an especial liking for the bench,' said a prominent citizen. "He has been quoted as saying that the highest honor any member of the legal profession might req sonably covet was an appointment to the federal supreme court
 of his own wishes were consulted, MT. Taft would rather be chief justice of the limited States than to be President; and since he has risen above party considera- tions and party precedent in promoting Associate Justice White, democrat, To the chief iusticeship it would be grace full act and singularly fitting if the dem ocrat who succeeds MT. Taft in the White House were to appoint the jurist-ex-Pres- ident as Chief Justice Whites successor when the latter retires on account of are Justice White is @, and he will have the option of retiring on full pay at the age of TO- Even If he should elect to serve longer the probability is that he vould retire before the democratic Presi- dents first term had expired.

While the increase in the northern sec ton of the country was TT per cent in the last 10 years, the increase in the southern section was 19.6 per cent.
 It is difficult to account for this diff ference in favor of the south when we know that s,7e5,Sso immigrants were roured in the 10 years into the northern states. Certainly not million of these immigrants found new homes in the south. But conceding that a million did come south, the north's net gain by means of immigration was about 100000 people, and yet the south grew faster than the north did.
 The birth rate of the south simply must be the higher of the two, for the south is losing young men constantly who go to the northern cities or to the far west and few immigrants or native farm CTS come south. Doubtless more win come, but in the last 10 years compar- atively few have come, and yet Alabama grew faster than Ohio, Texas faster than New York, Florida faster than New Jer- sey, and Oklahoma faster than any other state except Washington.

From Human Life
 Berton Braley, who writes that west erny kind of western poetry for various magazines, and who is continually run nlng the risk of being held before school boys as "the American Kipling,' isgonly 2S years old. He is doing for western miners and for workers generally what Kipling did for the British soldier His knowledge of mines was picked up in the copper mines of Butte, having gone to work there when he was fired from the Inter-Mountain because his special writing and his verse, so said the editor. wasn't worth cent to the paper" He also paraded his University of Wiscon- sir education in the office of the Butte Evening News and the Billings Gazette. His poems are real, because his knowl- edge was obtained at first hand He paid his way through college by work ing on the great lakes as d deck hand and coal beaver. as ditch digger (not on the great lakes), as a book agent, at tendant at an insane asylum, guard at a reform school, with an excursion or two into landscape gardening and agricul- ture. The landscape gardening con sisted of hoeing weeds out of graveled walks. He invaded New York with his typewriter in December, 1909, worked on the Evening Mail, became associate editor of Puck and is now acting the part of a sure-enough poet by working bis machine as a freelance. His poems are of the kind that make westerners in the east want to go home to their hills

LORELEI

By Herbert Kaufman. a. A woman is waiting for you, my lad-- Ride past. Her cheeks are soft and her mouth
 is glad Ride fast! For the flash of her glance is the light
 of. bane, And the touch of her lips is the key
 to pain, And she calls to the wise man-all
 in vaini But youth is strong and will find
 no wrong In the lifting lure of her ancient
 song. And the thing that's art, and the thing
 that's heart, Only the knowing can tell apart; And the price of the knowledge is
 black with stain & And the seed of the wisdom bad. A She would barter her love for your
 own, my lad Ride past But your love is good and her love
 is bad Ride fast! She offers the fruit of the bitter tree, Her kiss is the promise of misery, Of death, and of wool Let her be.
 Let her be! But youth Is bold and of eager
 mold,
 And brass is the ken of youth is And the acid of grief is the only
 test For the tawdry tinsel within her
 breast,- Which only the eyes of the wise can And the eyes of the wise are sad.

THE HOME TOWN PAPER

From the Chicago Record.
 Read all about the old home town. Here's your home paper. Git the latest news about the folks at home. Papers from everywhere. Read 'em, read 'em, read 'em."
 This cry of an enterprising news ven- der. who has a stand on a downtown street corner attracts the attention of busy passers-by at all hours of the day. Many q glance of interest is directed to the ''barker' by strangers In Chicago, who, perhaps have tender feeling of loyalty for the modest home sheet, with it's columns of personal mention, v sitems" and "social gossip"

New Supreme Court Justices

The appointment of a chief justice and Of two associate justices is task that had never fallen to any President until the death of two members and the resig- nation of another member placed 1t on MT. Tafts broad and experienced shoul- ders. The manner in which he discharged his great duty does not in the least please the politicians, and this is good evidence that it will, when fully consid- cred, prove highly satisfactory to the people and beneficial to the country. Even now the nominations are favorably received by thoughtful citizens, and 1t is reasonably certain that they will gain the regard of all right-thinking people.
 Two of the three nominees are south ern men. Justice White was a Confed- crate soldier. He had been member of the court 15 years, and in that time he had won the high regard of lawyers in all parts of the land. It should not be forgotten that he wrote a minority opin- ion when the court suddenly swallowed its record of 100 years by declaring the income tax unconstitutional Justice White wrote dissenting opinion, and Il stands today a fine monument to his in. tegrity and knowledge of the law He is 65 years of age, and he may live to serve 1J years more as the head of the coun try's greatest court. He has years enougl left to gain a high reputation as chic justice, and many believe he will becom known as a fine successor of John Mar shall, the Virginian.

PoE,s COSMOPOLITAN FAME

Brander Matthews "Poe's Cosmopolitan
 Fame,'' in Century.
 Notwithstanding the natural desire of young nation to make the most of all it's native authors, Poe has his repu- tation by distance. And this raises a series of interesting questions. Why is if that Poes position as poet and as a writer of fiction is still in dispute in his own country? Why is it that Amer ican critics have been far less cordial than foreign critics? Why is it that Poe's cosmopolitan fame is more wide spread and more solidly established than his repute here in the land of his birth? Why is 1t that we Americans seem to hold Poe inferior to Longfel- lew as poet and inferior to Hawthorne as a teller of tales, in spite of the fact that he has won acceptance among the French and the Italians and the Span fards who have never cared to make acquaintance with Longfellow and with Hawthorne2 These are questions easier to put than to answer; and yet, if sat isfactory responses can be found, they will help to explain Poe's true position in American literature

QUEEN MARY AS BUSINESS woM,,


 Sir Clement kinlock-C Cooke, in the Decem- Der North American Review.
 In business matters her majesty is clear and expeditions, methodical and systematic. Her mornings are generally taken up with attending to the volu- minous correspondence that arrives by every post. Her secretary and lady in waiting submit their letters and the Queen gives instructions covering them. She quickly grasps the main issue of a question and soon makes up her mind and has never been known to lay aside a matter on the ground that to express an opinion thereon is irk- some or difficult; but should any letter require further consideration it is held over for a day, when a decision is given and almost invariably adhered to. Every consideration is shown to those privileged to serve the Queen, and be- fore signifying her pleasure as to the personal attendance of members of her household her majesty will often n- quire whether they may not have some other engagement, the breaking of which would be inconvenent to them Busy though the Queen is-and one who has know her for 20 years has never seen her unoccupied-she is intimately acquainted with and takes part in all that relates to the management of the household. Every servant is known to her, and their comfort is as much mat ter of concern to their royal mistress as that of anyone else-in fact, no de- tail of life wearies the Queen, hence the reason that her sympathies are wide and all her days full of work.
