in a house in the Seventies" close to
the park
i am glad that / am again through

anxious to be in the best possible
shape when I meet Cross. If he'll only
fight me, and not do any of the cover
ing up for which he is noted, l feel
sure that I'll knock him out
Il don't intend to go back to San
Francisco after this bout, but TIL stay
around here for at least two more
fights. Gil Boag, the manager of the
Manhattan Sporting club. which un-
derstand will soon throw open its

Ice Cream and a Nerve.

Why do we sometimes get an ache in
the nose when eating ice cream. There
is nerve running along the back of
the nose which doctors call the an
terror palatine nerve. This has a
branch running along the base Of the
nasal cavity and another branch run
ming along the palate. The ends Of
these branches join through finer
branches which run through openings
in the palate near the front teeth.
When we get some ice cream in the
mouth and keep 1t in front for a mo-
ment so that the irritation produced
by the cold reaches the fine connect
ing branches the sensation may be
carried to the branch In the nose. IT.
ritation of this branch produces the
sensation Of pain. We get the same
sensation when breathing very cold
air.-New York American.

SINGING MOTHERS.
Charm of the Music of Their Voices TO
Their Little Ones,

They came to me in q dream-those
singing mothers. A long, slow pro
cession Of shadowy forms. beautiful as
rainbows and as wonderful, singing q
strange haunting melody full of mys-
terry. First came troops Of girl moth
ers. clasping their little babes with a
tenderness that was half fear and
with wide. inquiring eyes filed with
holy light and the consciousness Of the
deepest realization of life. Then came
strong mothers Of youth, leading hap
by faced children and confident with
a sense Of power, buoyant with hope
and radiant with promise. Last OF all
came silver mothers Of men. leaning
on their stalwart sons and, though
bowed with years, yet gloriously
young in spirit, hallowed by memories
and glowing with the victory of
achievement. And l. a mother, watch
ing these pass by and listening to their
haunting music. felt as never before
the divine significance Of motherhood
and all the hidden meanings in the
word singing"
All this is music in q marvellous
mood. but there is no music on earth
more appealing or more far reaching
than the voice Of mother singing to
her little ones. No audience ever lis,
tened with keener rapture to any
prima donna than that little group
gathered in the twilight hour at a
mothers knee. 1t is her dearest Joy
at that time to put into music all the
sacredness Of motherhood and the hap
piness of childhood, to teach and to
charm and to tune the hearts of her

SoIons In an Uproar,

Some years ago the Spanish cabinet
decided to take legal proceedings
against certain members of Parliament
who were suspected Of misusing pub
lie money. The opposition resolved
at all costs to prevent this. and for
forty hours on end they kept up a most
amazing uproar. They cheered and
shouted, and sang litanies in chorus.
The effect Of the latter performance
was extraordinary. One deputy would
loudly intone' a verse. all his friends
chanted the response, and so they went
on for nearly two days and nights IN
til a truce was proclaimed.-Pearson's

SERVIA AS A NATION.

The birth OF Servia as a nation, set

established on the Danube. two tribes.

fore the rayagcs of the Tartar horse
men. settled in the countries now
known as Croatia BOSNIA and Scrvia.
They were SI1ys, but the Croats per
haps had. like the SIavs Of Moesia in
after years, adopted the name OF a
Tartar tribe. Both, fleeing from the
AVars. were naturally hostile to them.
and il is possible that they settled In
the empire with the consent or even ut
the invitation Of the Emperor Hera-
clius /. At any rate, they appear TO
have been considered rs yassals Of the
empire. Their first settlements lay
rather westward of the country now
called Seryia, the Brave. the present

PRECIOUS MUGS.
The Crucibles Used In the New York
Assay Office.

The Crucibles Used In the New York
Assay Office.
In the government assay office on
Wall street. New York. there is a cor
ner that looks very much like a mug
rack in a country barber shop. where
every customer has his individual mug
highly decorated in gilt letters.
On this rack are perhaps fifty cruel
bles for melting down gold. The cru
cibles are decorated with crude ini-
tails and numerals and are the proper
ty Of the biggest gold mining corpora
tons in North and South America.
The reason for the individual mugs
is that the clay of crucibles takes up
a considerable quantity of gold in the
process of smelling which otherwise
would be lost to the customer bringing
the gold to the government to be re-
fined. After two or three smeltings
the clay is saturated and takes up no
more gold When it is finally sue
ceeded by new crucible it is returned
to the customer to be broken up for
its hidden gold.
Mugs that are used for melting down
random lots of gold are carefully pre-
served by the government refiners and
sold. Uncle Sam pockets the proceeds.
as in these random lots there is no
way of computing to what amount
each Of perhaps twenty customers
may be entitled. 1t is only the smelt-
ing concern that sells the government
enough gold at one time to monopolize
