songs as I'm Old Madrid" 1.-The Death

being the worlds quickest composer.
and there was certainly some justifi-
cation for this claim.
His beautiful song, ashore" was
both written and composed In 40 min
$utes in restaurant. -.hile the strains
Of TN Old Madrid" (of which 100000
copies have been sold) was also the
result of sudden inspiration. The
melody came to the composer while
he was on his way from the Royal
Aquarium: lest 1t should escape him.
! he rushed into public house In Roch-
ester row, seized a biscuit bag and
wrote down the air. H. Trotere Is
also said to have composed The
Brow of the Hill," written a letter
about 1t and run quarter Of a mile
to post it. all In eight minutes.
The late Sir Arthur Sullivan was
also a wonderfully rapid worker. 1t
is related that he wrote the overture
Ito "The Yeoman Of the Guard In
twelve hours, and that OF "Iolanthe"
between late dinner and next morn
sing's breakfast. On one occasion he

Salvioni SO quickly that 1t was actu-

AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING

5-fs Aeropiane. "a

A successful trial run was made re-
Gently from Paris to London, about
800 miles. by motor car driven by
a revolving wing. the Paris Figaro
states. sst Nh 7
The vehicle. which. was designed by
M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and Is called
the "wingedcar,'' has the appearance
of an ordinary motor car, save that
in front it is shaped like the Prov Of q
ship. From the extremity of n the
Prov extends shaft to which 10
attached the propeller--or revolving
wing-invented by NJ. Filippi. &
The wing is small, strong and thick
and revolves within protecting cage.
The engine Is of 40 horsepower and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission. A. F5s FL Fl.
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels of the car being free, except
for footbrakes. By the side Of the
driver is single lever which con-
trolls the clutch and the forward and
reverse movement of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at a moments
notice, thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs speed Of
81 miles an hour was obtained with
2,100 revolutions Of the wing a min
ute. One curious feature was that the
car made no dust.

Words Of Two Prominent Men That

Woman can rail at the folly OF

Here is what two prominent men have
to say about it. Whether they prac-
tice as they preach is best known to
themselves. but the sentiment is all
right.
Chauncey Depew has said: Il do not
believe in overwork. and the body can
not endure It."

.If we do not play enough 1t 10 be-
cause we are overload Of business
and because the modern ideal Is. not
q well-rounded man Of elevated mind,
healthy body and divers resources, but
a rich man, a man of property-of one
resource only. Another reason is, play
implies leisure, and leisure Is the

Realities Of Life:

The great art Of life, SO far as
have been able to observe, consists
in fortitude and perseverance,. have
rarely seen that q man who conscien-
tiously devoted himself to the studies
and duties OF any profession and did
not omit to take fair and honorable
opportunities OF Offering himself to
notice when such presented them
selves, has not at length got forward.
The mischance OF those who fall be-
hind, though flung upon fortune,
more frequently arises from want OF
skill and perseverance. Life Is like
a game OF cards. Our hands are al
ternately good or bad and the whole
seems, at first glance. to depend on
mere chance. But It Is not so,S for In
the long run the skill Of the player
predominates over the casualties Of
the game Therefore, do not be dis
couraged with the prospect before
you, but ply your. studies hard and
qualify yourself to receive fortune
when she comes your way.-Sir Wal

MAKING Best Fences.

Fencing has reached the point In
price where it does not pay to erect
anything that Is not Of the very best
OF construction. Do not buy anything
but the best posts and then treat them
with some preservative. Smooth wire
fences seldom last long and are not
very effective. Barb wires are dan
gerous. The best combination Is the
woven wire fence with barb on top.
This does no damage to the stock and
at the same time teaches them to
keep at safe distance and thereby
prevents the fence from being broken
down to any extent.
