Too Much For the School.

Not long age Samuel G. Blythe, the magazine writer, and Otto Carmichael, the late Washington newspaper core spondent, were driving about Muncie, Carmichael's home town, when the later expressed desire to see the schoolb ouse where he received his first impressions along educat ational lines. So the nose of the automobile was pointed southward. and a few miles out of Muncie they arrived at the old schoolhouse, a one room brick struc- ture. dilapidated and fast falling into decay, having been abandoned many years ago in favor of the modern ''con- solidated" schools. That" said Car michael, his voice trembling with emo tion at sight of the old building, "is where my education began. How many memories of happy childhood days 1t recallsr'
 "Yes, I see," remarked Blythe dryly, letting his eyes wander over the doors and windows that were completely boarded up; they educated you and then shut up shop"

Fredarick the Grea. and Music.

Frederick the Great was the most distinguished musical amateur of his age, and his position gave him the power to regulate the style of compost tion employed by the musicians of his period. For instance, he made the following rules to be followed by oper- atic composers: All the principal singers must have big arias and differ ent in character. as an adagio aria, which must be very cantabile to show off to good advantage the voice and delivery of the singer. In da capo the artist can then display her art in embellishing variations. Then there must be an allegro aria with brilliant passages, a gallant aria, duet for the first male singer and the prima donna. In these pieces the big forms of meas ure must be used so as to give pathos to the tragedy. The smaller forms of time, such as two-four and three-eight. are for the secondary roles, and for these a tempo minuetto can be writ ten. There must be the necessary changes of time, but minor keys must be avoided in the theater, because they are too mournful.

Makinu Steel Pens.

Briefly described, steel pens are made as follows: First the steel is rolled into big sheets and then cut into strips about three inches in width The strips are heated to bright red and are then allowed to cool gradually, which tenn pers them. They are next rolled to the necessary thinness and are cut into blank flat pens, and the pens while flat are usually stamped with the brand or the name of the manufacturers. To shape the pens is the next process. The rounding makes them hold the ink and distribute it more evenly than could be done if they were flat. To harden them they are heated to a cher dy red and then suddenly cooled. This not only hardens them, but makes them elastic. The polishing, pointing and finishing come next, and then they are ready for use. The little holes in the pens at the end of the slits serve to make them more elastic and to facili- tate the flow of the ink.

Curious Pets.

During a visit to the outer Florida reef away out on the very last sand bank that can. by courtesy, be called an island, I made the acquaintance of an old Indian fisherman, who had some of the most interesting pets it was ever my good fortune to see.
 One was a large. red clawed hermit crab, that had taken up its home in an old fashioned. silver ornamented pipe. and at all hours of the day and night the clanking of the pipe could be heard, sometimes on the table. again on the wall, and often it would roll off and fall with a crash upon the floor, and then there would be silence for awhile, until. perhaps. the hermit recovered from its surprise and aston iShment.
 The hermit was thoroughly a house pet, and no sooner did he venture be- yond the door than he was in danger of being snapped up by two other pets -one q man-of-war hawk and the other a gray pelican.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

The Smallest Golf Course,

What is probably the smallest golf course in existence is to be found on the May, the rocky islet which lies on the north side of the mouth of the firth of Forth, some five miles south of Craill, on the coast of Fifeshire. The island is about a mile in length and two and one-half furlongs in breadth and has a surface of rather more than 160 acres. but as large part of it is unplayable for one reason or another the course consists of only three holes. To make the round" it is necessary to play the course six times. The dis tance between the holes, however. is considerable. and the links are decid- edly difficult of negotiation. The best score is said to be seventy.-Pearson's Weekly.

Electricians and Soft Hats.

Every trade exercises same effect on the dress of its votaries. The locomo- tive engineer wears a cap and overalls, the baker a white skull cap, the butch CT a long white apron and straw sleeves, and the cook and the waiter each has his distinctive garb. Elec- tricians wear soft hats, and the follow ing account from the Electrical World gives the reason why: A substation foreman on an electric line in northern Indiana was explaining the details of some work to his men in a recently completed substation. In pointing out a joint in the high tension wiring, hat in hand, the rim of the derby came into contact with live wires. A circuit was completed from the high tension line through the small steel wire in the rim of the hat and through the mans body to the ground, thereby causing a shock which proved fatal. Soft hats have no metal wire in them, and that is why they are so popular with electricians.

Washinq While TraveIinq.

Sir Francis Galton held that wash ing when on a journey has it's draw backs. In the Art of Travel he re- marks that there is no denying the fact, though it be not agreeable to confess it, that dirt and grease are great protectors of the skin against indictment weather and that therefore the leader of an exploring party should not be too exacting about the appear ance of his less warmly clad followers. Daily washing. if not accompanied by oiling, must be compensated by wear ing clothes. A dog will sleep out un- der any bush and thrive there so long as he is not washed, groOmed and kept clean. There must be a balance between the activity of the skin and the calls upon it, and, where the ex- posture is greater, there must the pores be more defended. Globe.

SAY MRS. SULzER
 DENT PAY. CASH. $ SH.
 c. #5 h .# E. ;
Had No Dealings With Broker l age Firm.
TESTIMONY IS NEAR END.
Nearly All of Witnesses For Board of Managers of Impeachment Trial Have Been Heard-Say Books Were "Doctored" Just Before SuIzer Took Office.

Office.
 Charges that the books of a broker age firm with which William Sulzer had an account were "doctored' just before he took the office of governor were made by counsel for the assembly managers at Sulzer's trial before the high court of impeachment.
 The charges were made while Mel vile B. Fuller of the brokerage firm of Harris < Fuller was on the stand. MT. Fuller had testified regarding Sulzer's transactions with his firm since May IT. 1910 Tn the latter part of Decem- Der of last year the firm held the fol lowing securities for Sulzer:
 Five hundred shares of Big Four, 200 shares of American Shelters and 100 shares of Southern Pacific. The value of the shares was about $48,90O. There was a debit account with the firm against Sulzer of $40,261.
 An entry for Dec. 30, 1912, read that these shares had been delivered to Har- Tis & Fuller for a loan of $40,261. After some hedging MT. Fuller said that he supposed the transfer was made because the firm thought it wise not to have securities going around the street in William Sulzer's name." No money had figured in the loan, which, according to MT. Fuller. was consider ed by his firm as a cross entry.
 The end of testimony of witnesses for the board of managers in the inn peachment trial of Governor Sulzer is fin sight. Another day or two and the last of the witnesses will have been heard, the managers attorneys said. Most of the remaining witnesses will testify, it is said, in regard to money the governor borrowed or obtained while campaigning for the governor ship and to money he invested in Wall street No new features are expected to be introduced at this time, counsel for the managers declared.
 The "Mrs. Sulzer note" directing thH brokers to transfer the Sulzer account to Lieutenant Commander Josephthal was placed in evidence. It was testi- fled that Mrs. Sulzer had never been in the brokers offices or paid the firm any money in connection with the ac- count
 Article q, charging that the governor bartered his political influence, col gapsed when Presiding Judge Cullen refused to admit the testimony of wit. nesses' called to support these accusa- tions. 1t has been proved that Sulzer obtained many campaign contributions which never were reported by him. Many of the donors of these sums have said they were willing that he might use the money for any purpose he saw fit. His Wall street deals have been gone into already, and a more de tailed story of some of them was ex- pected.

The Story of Van Speyck.

In Holland of the Dutch" Demetrius Boulger retells as one of Hollands he roic episodes the story of Van Speyck.
 "It was during the Belgian revolu- ton. when General Chasse held posses sion of the citadel of Antwerp and a Dutch squadron held the scheldt and secured his communications with Hol- land. In February, 1881, during a heavy gale a Dutch gunboat went adrift and grounded near the river bank. The Belgians determined to SC cure what seemed an easy prize and boarded the boat. The young com. mander, Lieutenant Van Speyck, had only thirty-one men under him. There were several hundred Belgians. and re sistance was really out of the question but he refused to haul down his flag He opened the door of his magazine and as the assailants rushed to seize him he fired his pistol into the pow. der. and the ship was blown to pieces with nearly every one on board"
