The TheQterS

The Acrobatic Cyclists round at the
Murry this week are worth seeing One
of them is a very pretty woman and
they furnish, altogether, much amuse-
ment
There is a genuinely funny man in
one of the acts but whether he is Ad-
ans, Hartleigh or Remy. cannot be
told from the cryptogram. Anyway
he's amusing, without working too
hard at it as many of his vaude Vile
confreres give the ennuied impression
of doing, and his two conspirators go
him good second. Their best ensem-
BILE effects are in their vocal numbers
which are really done well.
Two people introduce the bill with
some interesting music-music is al
ways interesting if it isn't murdered
On several instruments although the
audience would like to hear more of

Two down as "vaudeville's dainties"

now haunt the vaudeville boards. They
might be worse and again they might
be so much better you wouldn't recog-
nize 'em.
Then it may be that it is "awfully
hard to be cute" as one of the attemp-
tees said to the writer not long since.

~ Means Socially.
There is no need for Jealousy and ex-
citemenr about presentations at court.
Any respectable American girl can be
presented at the court OF St James IL
she have sufficient influence with some
lady who is even mildly persona grata
at court And when a girl or a matron
has been presented then the matter
ninety-nine cases out Of a hundred
comes to an abrupt end.
The social cachet amounts to no
more than this-that the lord cha mber.
lain has made an inquiry into your an.
tecedents and found nothing in their
history to cause comment. In the case
OF Americans the inquiry cannot be
anything but perfunctory.
Some people imagine that a presenta-
ton at court is followed Immediately
by an invitation TO the next state din
ner or the next state concert or the
next state tea and mullins. Nothing of
the kind. You must attain OF inherit
great social Importance or be repre-
sentative in some way before the king
and queen ask you to dine with them
Presentation Is pretty laborious
and expensive ceremony. signifying to
any one who is not in the inner social
ring in London nothing. - New York

Thomas c. Payne, of Belvidere, N.
j., born Nov. 4, 1921. He served as
laborer on the Belvidere division from
April 1, 1855 to the date of his retire
ment.
Charles A. Jeffries, of Lancaster,
Pa, enjoys the distinction of hav-
ing been on the payroll of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad longer than any other
employe. He was born October s.
1922. and in July, 1S46, was employed
by the Columbia and Philadelphia
railroad as a fireman. He was made
engineer in 1S49, and in 1883 his oc-
cupation was changed to signal re-
pairman.
The Pennsylvania railroad trains it's
officers from the rank and file. Young
men pust out of school or college be-
gin their work for the company by
learning the very rudiments of rail-
roading; and there are many years of
hard work before they even show their
heads above their fellows, or their SUI
periors learn whether they are fitted
for promotion.
A census recently made of Pennsyl-
vania railroad officers gives striking
evidence of the policy the company
pursues in training men. OF 178 Of
ficers included in the railroads Off
cial biographical list, III, or SO per
cent, have been with the company all
their business life. OF the 178, those
who received a college education num-
ber "a, or approximately so per cent.
The seven cases where officers have
not been in the service of the railroad
the entire time since leaving school
include such as required special train
ing, which the railroad did not offer.

A COLOSSAL HARP.
Veritan's AeoIian Giant Had Strings
800 Feet In Lenoth.


The largest harp ever made, so far
as is known. was that invented and
constructed by NJ. Veritan. provost Of
Burki, near Basel. 1t was known as
the gigantic meteorological aeolian
harp. 1t was 800 feet in length and was
erected in the garden Of its inventor in
1887.
This harp consisted Of fifteen iron
wires. 800 feet in length. stretched be-
tween two poles. The wires were from
two to three inches apart. the largest
being one-sixth Of an inch in thickness
and the smallest one-twelfth of an inch.
They were placed in the direction Of
north and south and inclined in such a
manner as to form an angle of from
twenty to thirty degrees with the hori-
zon, being stretched by means of roll
ers properly disposed for the purpose.
Whenever the weather changed the
wires sounded with such loudness that
1t was impossible to go on with a con-
cert in the house. The sound sometimes
represented the kissing noise Of water
in rapid ebullition. sometimes that Of a
harmonicon and sometimes that of dis
tant chimes or an organ.-Exchange

Honey Bread

In Europe. where the food value Of
honey seems to be much better under
stood than in the United States, enor-
nous quantities are used. OF late
years we seem to be waking to the
realization Of the value of honey as a
wholesome and delicious article of
food and also as to its preservative
qualities. Cakes and sweetbreads
made with sugar soon become dry and
crumbly and to get the good OF them
must be eaten when fresh, but where
they are made up with honey they
seem to retain their moist freshness
indefinitely. In France honey bread
year or eighteen months old is pre-
ferred to that just made They say,

tive. or rather the unchanging quality
