the SEARGH CONCERT

There was fair-sIzea audience

also opposed to the amendment.
Senator Gault of Washoe was of
the opinion that The hand that rock

italian Meant Well, But His knowledge
of American Schoolbooks
Was Small.

One morning, just as a teacher up
in Harlem was entering her school.
she was met in the hall by an Italian
leading his little daughter by the
hand.
"She wan go school," said he po-
litely, indicating the little girl. He
pushed the child forward. "She van
go school," he repeated, with many
bows. "She has book" pointing to
the book under the girls arm, IAN

have brought her all prepared Can
she read?"
The only response from the father
was a shake of his head and a reitera-
ted, "She wan go school
Whereupon the teacher took the
book and looked at it. 1t was old and
worn, and neither a reader nor an
arithmetic. 1t was a social directory

Floral Death leocnds.

by the Mexicans marigolds are
known as death-fowers, from an ex-
ceedingly appropriate legend that they
sprang up on the ground stained by
the life-blood of those who fell victims
TO the love of gold and cruelty of the
early Spanish settlers. Among the
virginian tribes, too, red clover was
supposed to have sprung from and to
be colored by the blood of the red man
slain In battle with the white invaders.
In a similar manner the red peoples
which followed the blowing of the field
of Waterloo were said to have sprung
from the blood of the killed and
wounded in that famous battle. Ac-
cording to tradition, the Danish inva-
sion is the cause of the Dane-we>d, a
coarse, asteraceous plant common in
England, as it sprang from the blood
Danes slain in battle; and, If cut
a certain day in the year, it bleeds.
The dwarf eider, for the same reason,
is called Danewort and Danes blood"

The course of true love never did
and never can run smooth. If it did it
wouldn't be true love. The single GER
tain sine qua non of true love is that
it shall not run smooth. For such is
the constitution of human beings.
When people set out to be friendly
and %congenial they can succeed only
by keeping up a gentle hostility. Con-
slider the average evening call. How
tiresome it is until some n starts an
argument or a game of cards is pro-
posed. That accounts for the popu-
larity Of games. They furnish a sham
and ~innocuous hostility without which
society with ones fellows is deadly.
Men and women can be happy to-
gether for days at a time If they are
c~ontending at golf, at tennis, at cards
or at other games.
People who can sit around drawing
rooms or verandas and chat agreeably
are degenerate. They have lost their
spirit and might as well be dead.-El-
lis o. Jones, in Lippincott's.

frequent tits with colleagues. On a

Glass over PAINTINGS.

Yielding to the criticism of artists
and art experts, the authorities at
the galleries of the Louvre have re-
moved the glass that covered and was
supposed to protect some famous pic
lures. A few, however, are yet in
closed in glass, and among these are
IAntiope of ~Correggio, the Laura d.
anti OF Titan and the Concert Cham
petre of G~iorgio. 1t is held that for
all purposes of art, for study, for
admiration. the nvass should be
naked, as under glass all the fine quail
tiles of these great paintings are lost.
Examination of the paintings from
which the glass has been removed
shows that a number Of them, among
which is Titian's famous Man With
the Torn Glove, have been injured by
moisture that formed under the glass;
others are the Antiope Of Correggio,
the Country Concert of Giorgio and
the Virgin on the Rocks, OF Leonardo
Vinci. "All these deteriorations,"
says a critic, have been wothout
doubt accelerated by moisture inclosed
by glass"

PianoIa Within Rat.


The wonders of science will never
cease. Paris has received a delicate
Jolt by the exhibition OF a rat which
carries around a p~ianola in it's inter
nal organism. A touch OF its tail pro
duces airs from the operas. M.
Bertrand Lebaudy, the French zoo
logical expert and savant, discovered
that the ribs of the rat give out
rhythmic tones when properly tickled.
Making experiments. he found that
these tones could be regulated by
nerve pressure from an electric bat
terry. The nerves of a rat lead TO its
sensitive tail. which does many duties
besides acting as whisk broom in rat
land. He tanned a fine specimen OF
the regular Partisan rodent, got il SO
that 1t would answer to his least com
mand, fed it on a special diet and
then charged its nerves from an cleo
trio battery. The rat became exceed
ingly sensitive and the notes from it's
body when tweaked by the tail quite
audible. This story did not originals

TOO BRIGHT FOR BUSINESS
Small Boy Put an End to Thefts of
Candy Tasters But Lost
His Job.

A small boy began his business ca
reer in a five-and-ten-cent store last
week-and he also closed the first
chapter of it in the same store two
days later. He vas overzealous in his
efforts to protect his employers inter
est. Every merchant displaying coun-
tiers of candies unprotected by glass
or wire screen covers loses pounds
of candy weekly through the petty
~thievings of ca~ndy-tasters who help
themselves to one or as many pieces
as they a grab while passing the
unprotected sweets.
The small boy feeling the RESPONSE
bility of his position reported the
raids on the candy to the manager,
who, approaching the child's interest,
explained to him that it was almost
impossible to deal with such culprits
and that at least Is pounds of candy
were confiscated weekly in such fash
ion.
Part of the boys work was to un-
cover the counters in the morning
and he was on the job good and early
the second day of his employment
He assured the salesgirl at the candy
counter hat there was going to be d
reduction in candy-tasters that day
She thought nothing of the remarf
until she noticed that every one help
ing herself to the sweets almost in
mediately clapped her hand over her
mouth and ran for the door. Tasting
her wares herself, she discovered the
upper layers of them literally sprin.

Half an hour later the boy who
thought he had solved the candy-tast-
ers' problem was out on the street.

job.
