Had 70 Rename His Villa.

The residents of certain suburb
of Chicago were for a time governed
by a passion for giving sweet, poetica
names to their estates" There wal
one such man who built a handsome
villa, calling 1t The Nutshell" Thus
was the home introduced to hi!
friends. and it became widely known
To the surprise of all, therefore. the
name was one day suddenly changed
to Sylvan Nook" and a flood of In
quiries soon began to pour IN.

a new manner" a friend asked. What
was the matter with The Nutshell?'

It," said the owner, with sigh

CANNOT ENDURE THE PIANO
Chinese Servant Gives Notice When
Employers Daughter Gets Old
Enough to Practice.

The fascination Of an untrammeled
life in New York had lured other Chi
nese servants away from western fam
lilies who had migrated with their ret
inue to New York, but John of the
bankers family had remained faithful
through two years of metropolitan
temptations.
At last he gave notice and refused
to tell why. Finally the manager Of
an employment agency offered solu-
ton Of Johns detection.
1T is because your little girl has
got big enough to practice on the
piano." he said. John can't stand
that.
"A Chinaman hates piano. It
takes a good deal to upset Chinese
nerves, but a piano is capable Of COM
pleting the Job most effectually. Here
tofore there has been but little piano
playing in your house; now that there
is a prospect of several hours OF prac-
tice every day John clears out.
I'VE have that trouble with many
Chinese servants. There are plenty
OF western families In New York who
would like Chinese help, but as soon
as an otherwise willing servant learns
that there is a piano In the house he
declines the job"

Power of VEGETABLE Growth.

A tar macadam pavement stretch
ing from the school of gunnery at
Shoeburyness (Eng.) to the sea is at
present in state of violent if silent
eruption. About fortnight ago the
surface became covered with what
may be called "blisters," raised lit
tie above the common level, which
attracted much wondering attention.
From each of these, in a few days,
a series of cracks appeared, extend
ing themselves in rays from a center.
Finally came up a broad, soft shoot,
looking extremely we'll pleased with

FOR DIsINFECTIoN OF BOOKS
Apparatus Devised by a Frenchman
Removes Danger Of Contsglon and
Doesn't Damage Paper.

The danger from contagion from
books that have been In the hands or
persons suffering from various dis
eases has led to the invention OF va
rious methods of disinfection, of
which none appears to be more effec-
tive than an apparatus devised by
Marsoulan of Paris.
His process embraces two parts.
In the first place, the books are
placed In "beater" where strong
current of air opens every leaf and
an aspirator sucks out the dust and
deposits it in aseptic water; then
they are suspended in a disinfector,
the covers being bent back and held
by clips so that the leaves are widely
opened and placed over a heater
which for a time subjects them to a
temperature of 167 degrees Fahren'
heit. The paper Is not damaged, and
the efficiency OF the process is said
to have been demonstrated beyond
question.-Harper's Weekly.

InscrutabIe Way Of Providence,

With reference to the final extinc-
ton of the latter day successor OF
the Delmonico restaurant, it Is re-
lated that two Germans, fresh. from
Chicago, once visited New York, and
one well acquainted with the city in
vited his friend to dine at belmont
co.'s, where a dinner for two and a
bottle of wine were ordered. The
place and fare were praised until the
bill OF 81 was presented. This they
considered an extortion.
They paid, however, and while
walking down Broadway the excited
German commenced to swear at the
supposed extortion. His friend then
said:
do not schwear, Yawcop. 1t Is
wicked to schwear. God has pun
ished that man Delmonico."

We have with us today" AL Stew
art. Stewart will be remem bered as
the unfortunate manager of Joe Cox
Charles Olson-kid Cutler, ct al of
green memory. Mr. Stewart, after
his protege's defeat at the hands of
Du Cray in Montrose, deserted him
and is now handling the affairs of
Hassan Youssouf, also of green mem
ory.
You have bad line on the Turk :"
said Stewart, when he dropped in
The Sentinel office this morning to
make his salutations. You know he
has beaten some good men and made
great showings with champions. /
won't attempt to excuse his fiasco
with Christofferson here. except that
he had gone to the bad and was in
crying need of some one to take care
of his affairs. He has braced up
since ! have been in charge of his
work, and ! am ready to back him
heavily against Du Cray, If ! can
get the latter into a match with
him."
Stewart says he refused to let
Youssouf go on for the second fall
with Du Cray. as he was satisfied
that Duke would get another toe
hold on him, and probably cripple
him for good. But he will win. If
he gets another chance" added Stew
art
Stewart is also looking after Chief
Montour, 1S0-pound Indian, from
Oklahoma. The latter will be here
some time in the next month or two
and will probably be matched with
the Turk.
Stewart says that Glenwood fans,
particularly Johnny Richardson, are
trying TO get the Ryan-Du Cray bout
there and will offer a big purse.
Du Cray is not back from the
eastern slope yet, but will come in a
few days. Stewart will stay here for
at least a month. he says.

.DUCRAY SAYS
JOHNSON WILL
Win THE BOUT
(By FRANK DuCRAYD

There isN little chance for the
heavyweight pugilistic crown to
change hands at Las Vegas next Ju-
ly. In fact, there is a good deal more
reason to expect famous Colorado
fighter to get the beating of his ca
reer when the big black bear meets
him on Independence day.
Did you ever notice that few fight
ers have ever amounted to anything
after going on with johnson over
long-distance bout? The same was
true of Battling Nelson in his best
days. No man was ever the same
after Nelson or Jack Johnson punch
ed him over the ring for 10 or more
rounds.
Flynn, unquestionably. will be an
improved man. He will be fearless
and undaunted and he will be going
at top speed. He will be in his best
condition. and | look to see him put
up the fight of his life Moreover,
Johnson isn't settling down to his
training in the way to get in the
best physical condition for big
fight. He is going to feel, as Jeffries
did, the cumulative effects of his
dissipation. He is going to- lack
Judgment of distance and he may lack
endurance, too, If Flynn doesn't go
down before he is tired. | claim that
highballs and gin-rickeys and late
nights hit harder than any fighter
can, If they are INDUCED in too
freely, and everyone knows that the
smoke has been going the route.
All these things are in Flynn
favor. He has an indomitable will
that can keep him fighting for dear
life until he is completely knocked
out. But he cannot by any of these
things get around the fact that
Johnson is the shiftiest, wisest and
fastest man in the boxing game to-
day. A master of defense, he has
solved the economy of motion and
hits only when blow is needed and
will count for effect. Moreover. he
has punch that is as great as any
since FitZsimmons. No man could
have put Jim Jeffries out at Reno.
no matter what his physical condi-
ton. If he did not have great
punch.
Johnson, it seems to me, is sure
TO win. Flynn is merely going to
put up wonderful struggle against
unbeatable odds; a test of his en-
durance that viii be remembered by
his friends and enemies for many
day.
Although johnson Is the only man
worthy of the title of champion to-
day, l look to see him defeated in a
great deal less than five years. He
has the bug" for drinking, and he is
certain to go the way Jeffries and
McAuliffe and host of others have
gone who have hit the pace that
kills.
Anyway. ! am going to see the
thing, II ] can get away.
