A Shame to Spend the Money.

"Pianissimo. pianissimo," said the

And the student worked hard to

When she went to her next lesson
the teacher said: "Better-but still
too loud. Try again-you will get 1t

Again the student returned to her
room and tried for a softer tone. Again
the teacher told her it was still too

thousands of Irishmen fed from their
native land. Some entered the United
States through the port of New York;
thousands came to this city, some to
enter the promised land, but many
thousands of them to die here of ship
fever. In the old cemetery the re-
mains of 5000 of these famine victims
are buried. Until 1859 no monument
was erected to mark their resting
places. Then a band of Irishmen en-
ployed in the construction of the Vic

To Reclaim Lost Empire.

Constantinople.-Th possible reali-
old empire of Nebuchadnezzar to civil.
ization, a project which only yesterday
was a dream. is foreshadowed by the
efforts Of the Turkish government to
reclaim 12,500,000 acres of waste land
in northern Mesopotamia through irri-
cation. Should the experiment prove
successful the ancient realm of AS
syrian and Babylonian monarchs may
be refertilized and repeopled with an
Industrious race and the worlds old
granary restored after centuries of
desolation.
Mesopotamia's early greatness was
due to a system of irrigation canals in
connection with the Tigris and Eu-
pirates. 1t was by their neglect that
1t declined and was transformed into
a sandy plain, the haunt of nomad
races. Within recent times the en-
gineer and the archaelogist have IN
vaded it, the former plotting the route
of the Bagdad railway, which is to
unite 1t with the western world, aad
the latter delving In the dust-heaps

of Nabuchadnezzar's palace. the hall
in which Belshazzar gave his feast

ST. ErkenWald.

A church at Southend. England. has
been dedicated to st. Erkenwald-the
only one of its kind in existence. Erik
enwald, who was bishop of London
from CTS to 693 A. D.. was at one time
a very popular saint in his country. 1t
was he who built the first stone cathe-
dral of ST. Pauls. He, too, it was who
erected in the eastern portion of the
city the gate which gave the name to
Bishopsgate. This prelate suffered from
govt during the later years of his life.
and had to be carried about on litter.
After his death this litter was careful
ly preserved in Old st. Paul's. where
he was buried, and in course Of time
miraculous virtues were attributed to
it. 1t was held to be a sovereign cure
for fever, and fever-stricken pilgrims
from all parts Of the country would
flock to the shrine of st. Erkenwald.

First Owners of Eurs,

Women who expect to buy furs this
winter show a lively interest In the
Zoo animals" said a Philadelphia ami
NAL keeper. They want to find out
what the animal looked like that were
their fur coats and muffs before the
furs were made over for them.
THE recent warnings against imita-
ton furs have made them particular
ly curious. Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur Of live
lynx with a cat or a rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. OF course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent investigators. Very
few people except furriers know what
kind Of an animal caracul grows on,
and the specimens of the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap wool
that is sold for caracul grows on have
been trotted out for inspection so often
that they have become as blase as a
New York show girl"

person who wished to keep his identi-

who lose things any place else in New

opera house the more publicity they
can get the better"
