TINY BOYS TO BE SCULPTORs
Victor Salvatore to Open Class In
Modelling at Home Garden Set
Element, New York.

Victor Salvatore, the sculptor, will
open class in modelling at the Home
Garden Settlement, 405 East 18th
street, New York. Eight children who
have shown artistic promise have
been chosen out of the two or three
thousand who attend this settlement.
None of them will be over IL, and
three boys are only and have SO far
confined their efforts to the sand pile.
This class is to be weeded out con-
stantly and added to, SO that the small
Italians may have a chance to display
any talent and have the benefit of an
early start. Mrs. Guinness and 10
seph B. Thompson Jr., who knew Mr..
Salvatore at Newport, are the finan-
cial hackers in the experiment.
"The old fellows began young" said
Mr.. Salvatore, as he worked in his
studio in McDougal alley, some of
them were only when they started.
My idea is that when these boys are
20 they will have good foundation.
When they are IA they ought to be
able to work as helpers in a studio.
It is the idea of the grammar school
and then the college. They must be
prepared When they know the tech
nical side thoroughly they can create
better things.
"The room in the settlement will be
just like studio. Each one will have
mis- own table and clay. I want them
to learn to make good skeletons for
their work, to put up clay and cut
marble, too Nowadays people start
too late to be sculptors and they let
the mechanical side Of the art go.
81 shall be able to give only one
evening to the class, but one of the
college boys is to be there every even
ing to help them. There will be no
school discipline, but when they see
an older boy behaving think they
will do so too. l did not mean to take
any girls, but two of them have
shown SO much promise that l have
decided to try them out"

Grapefruit and shaddocks.

The name grapefruit" was given
because the fruits are borne in grape
like clusters of three or four or even
Is to IS. It's proper name, however,
is "pomelo" Pomelos are orange
shaped; shaddocks are pear-shaped.
Shaddocks are much larger than
pomelos; often weighing Is pounds or
more. the tree is smaller and the
leaves on full-grown trees are some
what larger The name "shaddock" is
that of an English sea captain who
brought a kind of citrus fruit to the
West Indies many years ago. These
fruits are wholly distinct species from
the orange and lemon.

NAN DDssIPATED TOO MUCH
,..upo.s in Soda, "Penny Dip" at
church Social and Stayed Out
Until Nine O'Clock.

"yes, I'm dissipating too much," "
aid the red-faced rustic, as he rubbed
his head despondently.
oDissipating?" gasped his friend.
oTbat's the word l used. You've
1oord that expression about burning
10 candle at both ends?' Well, that's
NV ease exactly. To tell the truth. l
hova been having too gay time. Last
night 7 went down to the Blue Moon
and drank a soda. Then some travel
ing man offered me cigar. OF course
7 had to take it."
"You don't mean tt?"
81 mean just what 1 say. Then l
bopgbt a ham sandwich. l ate it and
actuaIly forgot myself and took an
other. On my way home l dropped
into the church social for a few min
utes. Some of the young ladies made
me try the 'penny-dip,' and l drew a
blank"
Such extravaganza!
That's exactly it. Extravaganza
and dissipation will kill me. It was
nine o'clock before l reached home"
Nine o'clock"

oats. Well, I've finished now. Night
before last I called on my girl. She
wouldn't let me leave until | had Ia
ken her out and bought chocolate
creams. Talk about pleasure hunting!

Of Wasteful debauchery."

greater the variety of stamps used,
the more effective the plate will look
when finished.
With little ingenuity great many
different designs may be worked upon
the plates, and it is an easy matter
to gum the stamps in their position,
until the plate is entirely covered.
When complete, it should be varnish-
ed with some transparent varnish, as
it will preserve the stamps and also
enable the plate to be cleaned when
occasion arises.

School Day In Germany.

Hours of work have been reduced
In many of the schools of Germany
By the new arrangement As minutes
is the maximum time for a subject
thus allowing the treatment of six
subjects in the school day. It is or.
dered that the shortened hours at
school be made up in home study
and that as little school work as pos
sible be done outside the school prop
err. "The child derives more benefit. -
the educators think, from it's play
and from the study which it does vol
UNFAIRLY than it does from grinding.
Self.imposed mental work is of the
greatest benefit to the school child,
and the attainment of this is possible
only when the child has several hours

LONG Velvet Coats.

Long velvet coats. such as were
worn twenty-odd years ago, are re-
turning to favor. A few are plain and
untrimmed, but the majority are dec
Grated with fur. For example. there
will be a huge shawl.
Later on we shall see hats of the
opossum in a rather close turban
shape trimmed with a single flower,
such as a poinsetta, an orchid, or ca
melias, white and red.
The Australian opossum is the pre-
ferred fur, and large muff to match
usually accompanies a coat on this
order.

Common Plate Ornamented With
Postage Stamps Makes Pretty
and Unique Effect.

A very quaint and effective decora-
ton for hanging upon the wall or
placing upon the mantel-piece is
shown in the accompanying sketch, in
the shape of a plate ornamented with
old postage stamps.
A common plate, one of those little
white plates that may be purchased
for penny, for instance, will quite
well answer the purpose.
Any paper adhering to the stamps
should be carefully removed and the

For Dainty Jabot and Belt.

If you get tired of eyelet work and
lace insertion in linen collars and
jabots, here are few hints of what
can be done in that line: french
laid, padded dots, Wallachian, Vane-
tian ladder, italian cut work, soutacne
braiding, cable stitch. Every one Of
these is seen in modish collars, jabots
and belts, and can be used by the clev-
er needleworker who is tired of "the
earae old thing"

Bags for Dresses.

Bags to protect light dresses are a
help to people who live in smoky,
dusty cities. Make them of calico as
long as the garment and run tape
in the top. Slip the gown on ham

tape and hang up.

A QUIET DAY.

- &OlE OAHs
When mother has a quiet day
And all the house Is still,
She listens anxiously and fears
That Johnny must be i'll.
When there's no tramping overhead,
No boyish laugh or shout,
Assured that Johnny Is not Ill,
She knows he must be out.
But If the silence deeper grows,
With muffled step she'll creep
And look within the darkened room,
Where Johnny lies asleep.
rather think, If truth were told,
She loves those days the best,
When Johnny's ceaseless, noisy play
Gives no one any rest.
A quiet day will only come,
OF this she has no doubt,
When romping, tumbling Johnny is
Asleep, or Ill, or out.

Tho Wonderful! Camel.

When the nature Of the work per-
formed by the camel is considered 1t
is perhaps its very somnolent organi-
cation which best fits it for that work
and which gives color to the accuse
tons Of laziness and stupidity made
against it. 1t can live on diet as ap-
petizing as "a green umbrella" to use
Sir Samuel Bakers words. Barren,
leafess twigs. dried shrubs and the
tough, paperlike substaa'es of the
dome palm form the che courses in
the menu prepared by nature for this
denizen Of the desert. The marvellous
arrangement for the retaining Of sup
ply Of water sufficient to last for many
days makes the camel's powers Of en-
durance phenomenal. The ordinary
freight camel is expected to carry a
load of from 500 to 1000 pounds across
the desert at the rate Of twenty-five
miles a day and to keep it up for
three days without a fresh supply Of
water. Some will cover fifty miles 4
day for five days without water, and
the swifter species will carry their
riders 100 miles day.-London Spare

The Hummina Birds Flight.

The fight Of the little humming bird
is mere remarkable than that of the
eagle. We can understand the tapping
Of the eagles immense wing support
ing a comparatively light body. But
our little bird has a plump body. His
wings are not wide, but long. so he
must move them rapidly to sustain his
weight, and this he can do to perfec-
ton. The vibrations OF his wings are
so rapid as to make them almost in
visible. He can use them to sustain
himself in midair. with his body as
motionless as if perched on a twiS.
In this way he can sip the nectar Of
the delicate, fine stemmcd flowers
without alighting for a moment. he
never alights while so engaged. He
moves from flower to flower with Il
graceful and rapid movement some
times chasing away q bee or hum
ming bird moth. of which he Is very
Jealous. Nor is he much more favora-
bly, impressed with any small birds
that seem in his way. He knows his
power Of fight, and he has no fear OF
any other bird.-St. Nicholas.

Mexican Tidbits.

Water bugs and worms are among
the tidbits in which the Mexican peon
delights. He catches his bugs as they
skim along the top Of fresh water
ponds. drying them and then eating
them with as much zcst as an Ameri-
can boy cats peanuts. AS near as the
peon can explain it, their flavor Is
something on the order Of the chest
nut, but rs no white man has ever
tried eating water bugs or. if he has,
doesn't dare confess it, the exact taste
of these Mexican morsels can't be de-
scribed very accurately. The poems
dote, too, on the nice fat pulque worm.
This insect is about two inches long
and half an inch thick. They fry the
dainty in grease and pack it in brown
paper packages of dozen worms
which bring . cents paper. An III
dustrious puIQue worm collector makes
a GOOD living.-New York World.

Johnson on Poverty.

Poverty, my dear friend, is so great
an evil and pregnant with so much
temptation and so much misery that
cannot but earnestly enjoin you to
avoid it. Live on what you have; live
If YOU can on less. Do not borrow
either for vanity or pleasure. The
vanity will end in shame and the
pleasure in regret.-Samuel Johnson
