 It is a huge chamber, half as large as a tennis court. A wicker couch, two big cane arm chairs, two tables, Q gi- ganttc bed and a chest of drawers con- stitute the furniture. The doors, the window shades and the walks for two feet down from the ceiling Are lattice work, open to all the winds that blow. A door in front opens into the garden facing the savanna.

Rarnun,s First Show venture..

P. T. Barnum launched his career in the show business by exhibiting a re markable negro woman, believed to be 160 years old and said to have been a nurse to George Washington. An old bill of sale was exhibited, properly dated, concerning Joyce Heth, then aged ffty-four years, and evidence was also furnished that she was nurse to George Washington. Everything seem ed so straightforward to the young man that he was eager to become the proprietor of this novel exhibition, which he purchased for S1 ,OOO, $500 of which he paid down, selling out his in terest in the grocery business, and the other $500 he borrowed. He saw that the thing to do was to make people talk and become curious and excited over rare spectacles. Regardless of ex- pense he advertised in New York, Bos- ton and Philadelphia, and the halls were thronged until Joyce Heth died National Magazine

ARBOR DAY APRIL I8

Governor Simeon E. Baldwin has is sued the following proclamation set ting April IS as Arbor and Bird Day.
 Pursuant ~to the laws of this state requiring that some day in the Spring of each year be set apart for the pur- poses below described, I designate Friday, the eighteenth day of April, 1913 as Arbor and Bird Day and I direct the teachers in all our public schools to make it the occasion of ex- plaining to their classes why this an niversary has been constituted, and what 1t means.
 T urge also the people of the state at large to give some thought, upon the day hereby appointed, to what they each can do to promote the cu1- ture of trees and the protection Of birds; remembering that, small as Connecticut is, her geographical posi- ton assuring a climate belonging partly to the North and partly to the South, brings within her territory more varities of trees and birds than are found in any other state in the American Union.

What security is there best suited to ''the average man. possessing CD safe ty, O stability, (3) profit and (4) COR vertibihty?

A century or two ago real estate first mortgages were the only safe investment.

The Savage Clubs Founder.

Sir John Hare in a diverting speech at the Savage club told this reminis- cence:
 Of Andrew Halliday, the founder of this club, perhaps I may be forgiven if I tell you a little anecdote, which may or may not be known to you. An drew Halliday was an author, not very distinguished author, but an ex- tremely nice, charming fellow At din ner one night at the club a stranger was present, and Harry Leigh asked who was the gentleman at the head of the table. That is Colonel Duff" "Ohl'' "Yes, that is Halliday's broth er.'' 'T thought his name was Halli- day.'' 'FHe took the name of Halliday as a nom de plume" E'Oh!
