The Married Man and the Bachelor
Settle q Dispute.
From the Charlotte Observer.
The old fallacy that two can live as
cheaply as one has been experimentaIly
exposed so often that It would seem i'm
possible to elicit any argument on the
subject. but Atlanta comes forward with
an episode which establishes the fact that
this particular item of political economy
Is not considered definitely settled in that
city. A bachelor and married man were
commiserating with each other over the
high cost Of living, and from this drifted
into q discussion Of respective personal
expenses. The married man simply
laughed at his friends claim that his
own were the heavier Of the two. To
settle this difference OF opinion it was
agreed that last months bills should be
exchanged.
The married man got along beautifully
until the bachelor presented jewelers.

which the contest ceased to be interest

ties exceeded the other mans by a very
comfortable sum. which the loser prompt

latter's calculation was the failure to al

cent of his income in order to evideree

GETTING ON AND OFF CARS.

Girl Pupils In Chicago to Receive
Practical Instruction.
From the Louisville Courief-Journsl.
The girl pupils of the Chicago scnooIs
are to be given instruction as to the
proper methods of getting on and Off
street cars. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young,
superintendent OF schools is responsible
for the move. and teachers will be re-
quired to give talks on the subject 1t is
possible there will be practical illustra-
tIons later on.
II one may Judge from everyday OBJ
servation, the proportion OF women and
girls who know how to get on cars safe
ly and to leave them in a similar man.
ner is small. One thing is certaIn-there
Is either a large amount of ignorance on
the subject among the female popuIa-
tion or a large amount OF carelessness.
The average man, whether born and
reared in a city or in a remote precinct
of the rural districts. knows how to get
on board a street car and how to get of.
Lacking any previous experience what
ever, he will exercise better judgment
aud more caution than the average wom-
an who rides on street cars every day
and who might be reasonably supposed
to know all that is worth knowing about
the theory and practice of traction line
travel.
There is manifest reed that girls should
be instructed along this line. Possibly
such instruction given in the schools will
be OF more practical utility than the
more or less benevolent efforts the street
car companies made at intervals to teach
their patrons by means OF the familiar
illustrated placards. It is really a
very simple matter, and all the needful
information may be impaired in a few
minutes. In view Of that fact the amount
OF popular ignorance and indifference to
be noted every day is surprising.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
By A. w. MACY.
THE ORIGIN OF PINS AND PIN
MONEY.

For long time after pins were
invented. in the fourteenth CEN
tury, they were used only by the
wealthy. 1t cost so much to
manufacture them that the poor
and even the middle classes could
not afford them. Each pin was
made by filing one end OF a wire
OF the proper length to a point.
and then twisting piece Of finer
wire about the other end. The
complete process Is said to have
involved about thirteen different
operations. requiring as many
different persons. In 1897 Tim
othy Harris, OF England, sue
ceeded in making the hrst solid
headed pin. In 1924 an American
named Wright made great I'm
provement over Harris's method,
and in 1881. John I. Howe, OF New
York City. Invented machine
for making pins as we now have
them. At one period, when pins
were expensive luxuries, it was
customary to give young lady
a certain amount on her mar
riage for pin money" The Gus
tom disappeared long ago. but
the term spin money. remains.

Richard Wagner.

The entire world is soon to be the
gamer by the publication of the auto
biography of Richard Wagner. No
name to-day is more potent in nusi-
cal history than that of the remarkable
German who became the apostle of a
new dispensation. Up to the present
time he has been the subject of many
commentaries, but, with the exception
of his correspondence with List, We
have very little of his own testimony
regarding his life work.
The autobiography covers practically
the entire period of Wagner's life. He
wrote of his early childhood from
memery, but from 1885 until 1873 he
kept very exact diary. 1t adds much
to the interest of the book to know that
a portion of it was dictated to King
Ludwig of Bavaria, and that Wagner's
second wife, Cosima, also acted a. his
secretary The manuscript was pri-
vately printed, and then Wagner left
directions that it was not to appear until
aoeertain time after his death. The
secret has been well kept
Sufficient of Wagner's unique person.
slity is displayed in his correspondence
with List to whet the appetite for the
story which is about to be published
There. will be revealed many hitherto
unknown facts about hinl-how he
crossed the Russian frontier to escape
the police and was shipwrecled in the
North Sea, and was musical director
at a provincial German theater-but,
after all, it will be the record of his
great achievements which will appeal
to every lover of Wagner's music. To
read in his own words the pathetic and,
at times. tragic story of his struggle for
recognition; to sympathize with him in
his effort to impress his genius upon a
public that scorned innovation; to glory
with him, when at last his wonderful
originality and harmonic power was ad-
mitted-all these will give innate salts.
faction to those who have learned to
appreciate the greatness of his work.
Many years elapsed before Wagner
came into his own. He was so different
from those who had preceded him that
the world did not know whether he was
a pretender or genius. The day of
dispute has, however, passed No
repertoire is complete without the
presentation of his works His earliest
compositions, 'Rienzi," "The Flying
Dutchnan," "Tannhauser," and 'I1ohen-
grin" still appeal through their melodic
beauty, while the famous trilogy of the
Ring, together with Tristan and
Isolde" and "Parsifal," stands unequaled
among musical masterpieces. In these
later creations, Wagner carried his ideas
to their logical development. He welded
score and story and scenery into one
harmonious whole. and appealed stimuli
taneously to every sense. His impress
upon the world is reflected in the works
of later composers whose chief claim
to an enduring fame is the fact that
they builded their own superstructures
upon the foundation which Wagner laid

ly the shape of a half open hand Even
the nails are Identical. hard pointed
and ciaw-like, tipping the orange
flowers with length equal. in SOME
cases. to three inches
1t Is no freak. but proper kind of
orange, belonging to special variety.
The tree itself Is rugged little shrub
that does not average more than five
or six feet in height in its native home.
Japan. 1t does not grow straight, as
the ordinary orange tree should. but is
curved In all directions.
Even the branches grow In spiral or
twisted forms. so that the width of the
tree is often greater than the height.
The fruit itself is of a pale yellow
color, Of pure lemon hue, growing
greenish toward the stem. The size is
immense, considering the smallness of
the tree. the largest ones measuring
when mature fully ten inches from
the wrist to the point Of the middle
finger, including the nail.
But the fruit Is not good to eat,
though what it lacks in favor 1t more

Julius Caesar holds the record for

That word means, Of course, ''citi-

was addressed 1t meant great deal
more. 1t was the special term used in
addressing Roman voters assembled in
a purely civic capacity, not as soldiers,
but as civilians.
To the mutinous soldiers It meant
that the great commander, whom they
had followed for ten long years from
the Alps to the Thames and from the
Rhine to the Pyrenees and across the
Rubicon, disowned them as soldiers
and dismissed them from his victori-
GUS service.
Realizing its meaning, the story
goes, the rnutineers were appalled,.
