SETTLED STATUS OF POET
Douglas Jerrold's Verdict viii Be In.
dorsed by Many Who Have Tried
to Read Browning.

The writings OF Robert Browning,
which are in great favor among an
aesthetic few but continue to be
caviar to the general public, probably
received their keenest criticism from
Douglas Jerrold half century ago
Jerrold was recovering from violent
illness when a copy Of Browning's
"Sordello" fell into the hands Of the
convalescent. He began to read, but
not a complete idea could he get from
that mystic production. The thought
then struck him that he had lost his
reason during his illness. Filled with
agony, a Precipitation burst from his
brow. At that moment his wife enter.
ed the room "Read this. my dear" he
cried out, thrusting the volume into
her hands. After several attempts
to make any sense out of It. as Jer'
rold related, she returned 1t, saying
Bother the gibberish! don't un'
derstand word Of IT," THANK
heaven" exclaimed Jerrold, then
am not an idiot after ALL"

LISTENING TO THE CHIMES

Those Who Have Minds At.

Sitting In the village churchyard.
upon the sodded grass, and the slow
gossips saunter past the gate and the
evening sunshine breaks In through
he golden shower OF the laburnums
and rests peacefully on the worn head
stone, the Ginning of the bells trem
bles through the air like speech Of
living voices. What histories Of hui
man life have they not witnessed up
In that gray tower among the Ivy!
What fears and jealousies, what greed
and passion and awful sins, handed
down In whispers Of dark tradition.
have they not rung In and out at
baptism and wedding and funeral!
What mysteries are sealed under
these tombs, but no mysteries to
them! How they have chimed for
every one that Is buried round, and
mixed with their thoughts, and wan
dered with them through other lands.
and come to them in dreams: dying
children have heard them call to
heaven; have fingered sweetly in the
ears of happy brides; lonely fathers
have wept with them for the dead
the have softened the prodicars
heart in far country; they have runs
like the voice Of peace through the din
Of battle; they have startled the wick
ed thought and palsied the wicked
hanL. and there they peal still. out OF
the past into the present, over the
dead and over the living. It Is only g
peal Of bells. and we have heard them
thousand times, and nobody thinks
Of them: but yet all this. and great
deal more Is In them.-.-William F

New Women OF, Persia.

Persian women are essentially rem
mime. They want our dress, our edu-
cation, our freedom, our happiness.
Dress, 1t will be observed, comes
first in the catalogue Of feminine
wants, but change Of dress or Golf
fure seems essential to all revolution.
airy movements.
In Teheran, in place of the face veil
of white cloth, the Persian new wom-
an now wears a small square Of black
net or woven horse hair; her shoes
have high heels; a European skirt
has taken the place of the short skirt
and narrow trousers; the head ker-
chief is being abandoned. One lady
tried to introduce an outfit to take
the place Of the "chuddur," leaving
the face heavily yelled; but 1t was
too revolutionary even for Teheran.

Shah in disguise, the wearer revert.

offers cigarettes instead Of the water

Need Not Be Druduery.

Young American women would do
we'll to heed the words of recent
lecturer on household economies. who
said that homework need not neces-
sarily be drudgery. She says 1t is not
drudgery, once its technique Is mas
tered, any more than dancing or plano
playing or acting or singing are dis
agreeable tasks, once the girl has
mastered the basic principles of each
of those arts. Housekeeping is rela.
lively simple when one knows how.
The difficulty is that few take the
trouble to learn how. II the same In
telligence and persistence are used
as are employed in mastering any OF
the other accomplishments, after the
learning period is over, the practice
is comparatively easy There is o
period OF drudgery in acquiring any
art, DO matter what II is, and no one
can expect to master housekeeping or
music either who is not willing to
submit to the necessary period OF
training But ease comes with know
ing how and disposing of the duties
in a clear-headed, systematic, scien
ti1c manner.-Exchange.

Concerning Apple Pies.

II you ask a man what sort OF pie
he will take, and he hesitates a mo-
ment, he is pretty sure to blurt out
apple. That is always a sure thing.
Custard, lemon. peach. blackberry.
mince, all depend; there is always
some doubt as to their manufacture
and the quality Of the concomitants;
but with apple pie 1t is not so. Apple
pie is itself; 1t reigns in its own right;
1t suggests no doubts; 1t is always
safe. Therefore 1t will be gratifying
news that the apple crop this year Is
a bumper There will be yield of
los, 100000 bushels. That will make
about sixty pies to every man, woman
and child in the country; and this Will
give an ordinary piece Of pie to every
inhabitant every day in the year.
Was there ever a nation sc highly
favored that 1t could have apple pie
for every person every day? Thus
nature and enterprise kindly and
bountifully minister to the taste of all
the people.-Ohio State Journal.

AVOID SPREADERS OF GLOOM
eontented Persons Are Never the
Best Of Companions In Life.

The chronic grumbler is not a good
companion nor In any way an admir-.
able person. We fly from her as from
n contagious disease. Nothing so GER
tainly affects ones spirits as being In
the constant company of a person
who has grievance.
The cherishing of discontent with
our circumstances, business, dress, or
any other thins In life soon robs us
OF beauty and marks the countenance
with the lines of worry and Ill temper
that tell their own unhappy story.
Why anybody who Is young should In.
dulge in grumbling as pastime Is one
OF the puzzles that never is solved. yet
such people there are, and we meet
them to our sorrow almost every day.

Cement Gun.

There Is a cement gun which is used
to apply a mortar covering to struc
tural steel work. A mixture of dry
sand and cement is shot from a noz.
gle by compressed air A second hose
delivers to the same nozzle supply
of water under pressure. and the mix
ture OF sand, cement and water Is
shot out with velocity Of about $50
feet second. The nozzle is arranged
to produce thorough wetting OF the
material, AS the mixture strikes the
surface to be covered. the coarse sand
grains rebound until the fine cement
mortar, which adheres Immediately,
has formed plastic base In which the
coarse particles become imbedded. A
covering of any required thickness Is
then rapidly built up.
One of these guns has been used
on the Panama canal In covering the
sides of the Culebra cut with cement,
&c prevent the unstable earth from
sliding into the canal.

Newest Pest.

The newest pest in the west and
middle west is the dog. Not the prai-
rle dog, just the common dog. He Ia
responsible for the decline in the
sheep raising industry. In many
states in the section of the country
once largely devoted to cattle and
sheep raising, there are more dogs
than there are sheep. 1t takes three
barb wires on top of two feet of woven
wire TO make a fence that will
keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas
had $4,000 sheep and 10000 dogs
IN 1910, according to the secretary OF
the Kansas beard OF agriculture.
The usual answer farmers in the
west give to the question why don't
you keep Sheep is I'VE can't keep
dogs from killing them"
