The Hague, Jan. 12.-Holfand and
the Dutch celebrate the hundredth an
niversary of their liberation from the
French this year. Instead of holding
great national exposition, as was
originally intended, it has been decided
to organize number of special exhibit
tons and centenary celebrations in
about thirty towns all over Holland,
illustrating great events in her history,
her place in the world of art, her Gus
toms, commerce and Industries. One
interesting feature will be the "nauti-
cal exhibition" of Amsterdam, erected
on an area of about 100000 square me-
ters. This exhibition will be subdi-
vided into twenty-one groups and will
give a graphic description of Dutch
navigation. There will also be an imi-
tation of old Amsterdam, showing its
life in the seventeenth century, little
theater, a Dutch country fair, etc. A
special exhibition in Amsterdam will
be devoted to woman's progress during
the nineteenth century. Art and in
dustry will be largely represented.
Leeuwarden is organizing an exhibit
ton of "Frisian art" Middelburg will
exhibit old Dutch costumes, furniture
and art objects. Nymegen will be rep
resented by a unique exhibition of
Roman antiquities excavated there.
Utrecht is collecting an exhibition of
the early Netherlandish school Of paint
ing Zaltbommel is to have an exhibit
ton of ancient delft The central fea-
ture of all these festivities, however, is
the opening of the palace Of peace at
The Hague.

Creek Noses,

We learn that the nose of Socrates
was not Greek, but such as Greek art
lists usually assigned to satyrs. Occa-
sionally, as in a beautiful group Of
satyr playing dice with nymph on a
bronze mirror, they gave satyrs anoth-
er kind Of nose The noses of the la
dies in the Tanagra terra Gotta are OF
all agreeable orders of nose, not neces-
sarily Greek. The chances are that the
Greeks varied as much as we do In
their noses, while the tradition Of their
art preferred the conventional straight
nose. In the same way the kind of Ro-
mans who had their portraits done on
coins and gems were just the sort OF
energetic, conquering people who have
Roman noses everywhere, like William
of Orange and the Duke OF Wellington.

Better Education In Siberia.

Tomsk, Siberia, Jan. 12.-By the mu-
nifcence of Peter Makoushin there
has been established at TOmsk an in
stitution intended to educate the peo-
pie of Siberia on a large scale. 1t IS
called the House of Science and is
meant to be popular university
where any one may obtain instruction
from the elementary to the secondary
standard free of charge. 1t includes
also a section for instruction of the
kind usually given at universities.
Thus it supplies great want felt in
Russia-that of free education. The
dissemination Of knowledge is of para
mount Importance in Siberia. where
so per cent of the population are litter
ate. This institution will provide ac-
cOmmodation for conferences Of teach
ers in elementary schools: it will con-
tain a library to be used free of charge;
special evening classes will be held
while instruction in sanitation and
hygiene Will have leading place in the
program. A museum of practical
knowledge and many other means of
instruction have been arranged for.

PATHS Fear of Photographers.

London, Jan. II. - Adelina Patti,
Baroness Cederstrom, who lives in her
castle in Wales a great part of her
time and is now in her SEVENTEEN
year, has developed a dread Of pho
tographers which comes near to being
q mania. During her annual visit to
Carlsbad for the "cure" recently the
prima donna, whose voice was unriv-
aled for more than fifty years, locked
herself up in morbid seclusiOn, receiv-
ing few visits and declining Ill invi-
tations, even those of royalty.
The reason is that she hates to have
any one know that at last she is an
old woman in looks as we'll as in &C.
tual years. She has not allowed her
picture to be taken since the last of
her beauty vanished, which was only
a few years ago. Now a wreck of her
former self, she is filled with regrets
for the compliments she was used to
receive, even in her earlier sixties, on
her eternal YOUTH
Patti on the last Of her famous
farewell tours of America was be-
sieged with the question, How do
you keep your beauty?" To this she
replied:
up to forty I ate and lived as
chose. Since then I have eaten no
red meat and have drunk only white

Burton For Another Term.

Columbus. O.. Jan. Ex-senator Thpo-
dOre Il. Burton of Ohio intends to go
before the people of this state IA
candidate for reelection two years
hence on the issue whether a United
States senator shall act as a messen-
ger to obtain patronage for his state
or devote his time to the study and
discussion of legislative matters of su-
preme Importance to the country. In
candidacy for another term Mr.. Bur-
ton said:
"One OF the most unpleasant fea-
lures Of a senator's life is the atten-
ton which Is demanded for matters
or comparatively small Importance
and the neglect of questions which
should be Of chiefest interest to all the
people. 1t would seem at times as If
there were more eager interest in
appointments to postoftices than In
great policies which have to do with
the general welfare. l have steadfast-
~ refused to permit the minor Ques-
tons of patronage to distract my at

face the American people and for
which | have a right to believe l was
elected to represent Ohio.
Il shall be glad to enlighten the peo-
pie Of Ohio as to the motives which
have inspired the antagonism Of GER
tain men and papers. / shall be pre-
pared to explain and if necessary de-
fend my vote on every bill which has
come before the senate during my
term of office propose to know
whether the people Of Ohio wish their
representatives in the senate to take
part in framing and debating bills
which involve the great issues before
the American people or whether they
prefer to have them act merely as
messengers Tor selfish interests and
dispensers of patronage and spoils."

He was very heavy with his own re-

all surpassed his most eXtravagant i'm

a realized ideal from this night forth

night there was some excuse from his
degenerate point of view. He must
give it up. Stingaree was right; it
was only one man i'll thousands who
could do unerringly what he had done

that man. He saw it for himself at

Life in the music shop would fall very

The water pipes are inclosed in a

On the senate side the plant is able to
cool $50 gallons an hour, reducing 80
degree water to 40 degrees at the
spigot. On the house side, where
there are more water drinkers, the ca
pacity Of the plant is greater.

NOTHING to Il.

First you let your temper rise.
Hurt your fellow man;
Then you must apologize
That is, if you can.
What's the use Of wasting breath
In such foolish ways?
Why be worried half to death?
Anger never pays.
You unloose the angry word,
Let 1t fly, alack,
Then with haste almost absurd
Wish you had it back.
Thus you stumble through your life,
Wasting half your days.
What's the use OF all this strife?
Anger never pays.
