MONUMENT TO ADAM.

This monument erected to the "mem-
orv of Adam, the first man." is the only
one of its kind in America, and probably
in the world. 1t was erected in 1909 by
John P. Brady, wellknown contractor
and builder of Baltimore. at his country
place, Hickory Ground" near Garden
denvile, in the northeastern suburbs of
Baltimore, Maryland. 1t is composed of
stone, bronze and cement, and is sur
mounted by a very large and accurate
sundial, especially calculated and con-
structed for the latitude in which the
monument is erected, N. Lat. 80. 20.
Surrounding the hour figures, in circle
on the dial, is the motto, Isle Transit
Gloria Mundl" $50 Passes the Glory of
the World, and the date. 1909, and on
either side of the shaft is a sunken panel
with sunken letters, the two reading:
THIS, THE FIRST SHAFT IN AMERICA, is
ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF ADAM.
THE FIRST MAN"
The monument has naturally attracted
much attention. Mr.. Brady has stated,
among other things, in newspaper in
terview, that where so many others OF
lesser worth have been honored, he
thought it about time that something
was done for Adam THE Strand.

to abdicate the throne or mobilize the
army He chose the latter course, and
then Roumani prepared to take part
in the struggles which at that time
were under way.
At the outset of this crisis European
powers signified their intention Of
keeping hands off in the struggle and
of allowing the Balkans to settle their
differences as best they could, resort
ing to war If they deemed it necessary.

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion, iona Gale, writing an article en-
titled Ethics and Cooks" shows how
cooks ought to be trained to prepare,
not that which the family necessarily
chances to like, but that which in exact
proportion ard determined food value is
adapted to produce energy and growth
according to lava law which few house
keepers and servants understand. In the
course of her article Miss Gale repro
duces the following food chart which in
cludes the fuel values of food as meas

cuRIos1TIEs OF KOREAN MARRIAGES.

CURIOSITIES OF KOREAN MARRIAGES..
The Koreans marry very young, gen
orally between the ages of twelve and
fifteen. For a woman to reach twenty
without marrying is considered terri
Bile thing. A peculiarly of these we'd
dings is that they would appear to be
matter of interest to everyone except
the parties mostly concerned, who often
see one another for the first time on the
wedding morning. This is because in
Korean household the boys are kept apart
from the girls, the father and the sons
occupying the front of the house. and
the mother and the daughters living in
the rear of the establishment. Moreover,
in their social life the boys are not allow
ed to mix with the gentler sex. The
parents and friends arrange the match,
in accordance with their own interests.
and if both parties agree and the bar
gain is concluded, the formalities are of
the simplest. There is no religious cere
mony and no legal contract.
Early on the wedding morn the best
man arrives to tie the bridegroom's pig
sail in a knot on the top of his head, ard
this not only remains forever as an out
ward and visible sign of his condition,
but entities him to wear hat for the
first time in his life and to be treated as
Z man and enter public life. He may be
a mere child, twelve years Of age, but
he has no longer any right to play with
mis- boy friends, and must choose his as
sociates among old men. He has now
all civil rights, and is expected to behave
accordingly. If, on the contrary, a man
is unable TO afford the luxury Of homo
and wife, he may reach the age Of
fifty. but he must still wear his pigtaii
down his back, has none of the adsan-
tages of citizenship, and is expected to
play with kites, marbles, and such-like.
Any folly he may commit is excused in
the same way as the naughtiness of d
child who is not responsible for his
actions.
The wedding ceremony itself is most
simple The whole function consists of
d procession, when the bride and bride
groom are conducted by their respective
relations to dais. There they are put
face to face. and probably, as already
stated, see each other for the first time.
They merely glance at one another, then

No Wonder II Was Cold.

The Observation-Disclosures of the true
scholar is well illustrated by this story
from the Weekly Telegraph:
MY dear" said the professor, on en-
tering the dining room, don't alarm
yourself, but a slight palsy has mani
tested itself in my left foot. In spite
of the fact that the glass is 22 degrees
Reaumur above zero, my right foot
feels more than normally wHrm.
whereas the left is quite rigid and stiff,
and cold as ice."
Upon the directions of the FIRMLY
physician, who was summoned without
delay, the professor was put to bed
when it was discovered that he had
two socks on his right foot, and none
on bis left foot!

an exposed root, she fell into the

musical career began when Mrs. Vir-
ginia Preston Means taught her as a
delightful baby of 2 years to run the

intrusted to Miss lone Spears.
1t was slightly more than seven
years ago that Miss Baylor began the
study of her chosen art, working in
New York under the best masters.
While here she sang before Madame

lighted with her voice that she gave
her a recommendation and ordered
her to study under Jean de Reszke, in
Paris.
The Southern girl followed her ad-
wise, and two years ago she COM
pleted the course prescribed by De
Reszke and his chief assistant, Oscar
Seagle, a native Chattanooga.
Since completing this course Miss
Baylor has appeared in practically all
the European capitals and is even
better known on the continent than
in the United States. A brilliant ca
reer is predicted for her by all the
European masters.
