Nietzsche,s Swan SONG.

One Of the really pathetic docu-
ments Of modern times is entitled
"Ecce Homo" and it is the last
work that Friedrich Nietzsche wrote
before he went mad. The daring
poet-philosopher, whose thought,
whether for good or for i'll, has al
ready permeated the whole intellcc-
tual atmosphere of our epoch, was
never more wildly revealed than in
this remarkable book. Like all his
works, it is a rhapsody, written at
white heat, marred by extrava-
gances. But in one important re-
spect it differs from them all. 1t
voices a sense of peace and serenity
he never before had realized. At
the very moment when darkness
was overwhelming him he seemed to
experience a marvellous exaltation.
His song floats out over the world
ike a hymn to infinite joy.-Cur-
rent Literature.

Dispatch is the gift or art ov do

thing right and to do it quick IL an
attribute Of genius.
Hurry is often mistaken for dis
patch, but thare IL just az much diff
ference az thare IL between a hornet
and a aunt when they are both oy

takes any steps backward, but a
aunt alwuz travels just as tho he
had forgot sumthing.
Hurry works from morning until
night, but works on tredwheel.
Dispatch never undertakes a job
without fust marking out the course
70 take and then follows it, right or
wrong, while hurry travels like a
blind hoss, stepping hi and often,
and spends most ov her time in rul-
ming into things and the balance in
backing out agin.--Josh Billings.

Mendelssohn's "ereatest Pleasure

Lecturing on Mendelssohn, Mr..
Felix Moscheles told his hearers
many interesting things concerning
the great composer, who was his
godfather, from whom he had this
account of Mendelssohn's last visit
to Queen Victoria. As he was about
to leave the queen said to him,
''Now, DR.. Mendelssohn, you have
given me so much pleasure, is there
nothing ! can do to give you pleas
ure?" And as her majesty insisted
Mendelssohn told her that nothing
could give him greater pleasure
than to see the nurseries and all the
domestic arrangements connected
with the royal children. "The most
consummate courtier," said the lee
turer, "could not have expressed a
wish better calculated to please the
queen. She most cordially responded
and herself conducted him through
the nurseries" Lg.5scs ,:,9csaaoae---

WHERE TO BUILD.
Rocky site No Longer Advised-ersvei
the Ideal Sell.

Strange as it may seem, after
1000 wears of talk and song about
| the advantages of founding ones
house upon a rock, one of the very
things that modern builders tell us
to avoid in selecting a site is rock.
That is principally because of the
great cost of excavating a cellar in
rocky soil.
Another objection to rocky soil is
that water will not soak through
rock and so runs down it. Some of
this water would be almost certain
to seep through the cellar walls,
making the cellar damp, or it might
undermine the foundations.
Again, rock often contains
springs. If a spring were opened
during blasting it would mean Ell
ther that the water would have to
flow through the cellar or be de-
fected, costly operation. A house
built upon a rock also vibrates dur
ing thunderstorms.
Clay is perhaps more to be avoid
ed than rock. Clay collects water
and spreads under pressure. 1t eS-
pands in wet or frosty weather and
contracts in summer. Frozen clay
clings to brick or stone and often
causes dislocation of cellar walls and
piers.
Also it is impervious to water.
Thus an underground layer of clay
will prevent the proper drainage Of
rainwater and leave the soil foul
and sodden Finally, it is extreme
ly costly to excavate. Undesirable
for building purposes also are made
land, sand and silt. Made land Is
not always stable.
Gravel is the ideal soil for build
ing purposes. 1t is porous and
drains perfectly. At the same time
it is sufficiently stable to support
foundations. 4 gravelly elevation
is the ideal building site.
Depressions or levels between
rocks are likely to retain water
even though the depression is slight
and the elevations distant TIE
ground water thus retained stands
at a level. Small gravelly elevations
form islands, as it were, in a subter-
ranean lake, and upon them houses
may be built with perfect safety.
The cellar floor will be above
ground water level, and no rainwa-
ter will drain into the cellar.-Cir-

Car Sickness.

Looking out of the windows is the
cause found for car sickness by an
American physician. Near objects
fit by rapidly, those little farther
away move more slowly, those very
far off are almost stationary, and
the whole landscape appears TO be
revolving around a common center
The unconscious effort to take in
everything produces a rapid lateral
oscillation of the eyeballs, easily
seen in the passengers on any train
The eye strain is enormous, anC
this is the chief factor in producing
ear sickness.

pead heats on the flats do not oc-

as it is, we get quite enough of
dead heats of two" but there is a
spice of romance about "dead
heat of three" says Bailey's Eng
lish Magazine.
At York in 1896 for the Bad
rpinton plate three horses passed
Me post locked together They
we're Messala, Baiardo and Casse
9pn, ridden respectively by M. Can
t%p, It. Loates and S. Loates. A
Mird Loates was fourth on Hamp-
tdpdale, and he was beaten only
short head by the leading trio.
In 1880 at the Lewes summer
meeting Scobell, Wandering Nun
and Mazurka ran dead heat for
the Astley stakes. Only head be-
hind the struggling trio came Thora
and Cumberland, also running a
dead heat and placed fourth by the
judge. Some good judges who saw
the race declare that if it had been
called a dead heat of five no one
would have caviled at the official
verdict.
In 1915, on the Thursday of the
Newmarket Houghton meeting, two
dead heats of three occurred in the
same afternoon.
In 1882 there was a dead heat
of three in a field of five for the
race called the Sandown Derby, but
afterward known as the Electric
stakes, run over the straight five
fiirlong course at Sandown park.
The dead heaters were r. S. Evans
Marden R Wyatt), P, Lorillard's
Gerald F. Webb and the Duke of
Hamilton's Leonora u. Watts). In
the run-off Marden, who in the
meantime had had his plates re-
moved and ran unshod, won by
three lengths, a head only separat-
ing second and third.
The most notable dead heat of
three was the finish for the Cesare-
witch in 1857 between El Hakim,
Prioress, an American entry, and
Queen Bess. There were thirty
four runners, and the starting
prices Of the dead heaters were s to

In the waning light, George Ford
ham was substituted for Tankesley
on Prioress and Bray for Little on
FL Hakim. The change of jockeys
appears to have worked to some ad-
vantage in the case of the Ameri-
can mare, for she won the decider
by a length and a half, head sep
arating the other two.
Once there was a dead heat Of
four at Newmarket in sweepstakes
for two-year-olds, run over the first
half of the Abingdon mile. This
was at the Houghton meeting in
1855. Five started, and the race
resulted in dead heat of four, the
fifth horse being only beaten half
length. The decider was won by a
head, half length separating sec

the winner, the original favorite, a
chestnut FLY called Overreach, by

LOCAL NEGRO PASTORS
TO WAR ON THE DANCE
Will. Unite in Campaign Against
Certain Public Dancing of
Corrupt Influence.

The colored pastors OF the city. under
the leadership Of Rev. J. Milton Waldron
of Shiloh Baptist Church, have united
in a warfare on the dances given by
certain co1ored people on steamboats,,
picnic grounds and public halls. and are
preparing to do all in their power to
place them in popular disfavor.
These dances, it is declared by the min
listers. are patronized by old and young,
make no preteDsion to Christianity.
Experience proves, It is pointed out in
circular letter which has been sent
out by the pastors. that the leaders in
the churches should do all i'm their power
to stamp out the practice which has
young colored people Of the city.
Source Of Intemperance.
These public dances. 1t is declared, are
sources of intemperance and coarseness
and are the greatest source OF the
worldly mindedness which is playing
such havoc in all the churches"
The habit of giving public balls and
Dances" it is said, sis also invading the
educational institutions Of our city to an
alarming extent. and is working untold
injury to the physical, intellectual and
moral we'll being of the school children
and the student bodies in Washington"
Many of the pastors have preached
special sermons on the subject and it Is
expected that the campaign to stamp out
the dance will be continued
