Poets Memory Lives.

The saying christmas comes but
once a year" is attributed to Thomas
Tusser, a medieval poet (1624-15S0) 4,
who seems to have been strong on
epigrams. The same idea may have
occurred to others, but Tusser gave
it expression. He was classed as an
agricultural poet, partly because he
had not much education and partly
because he treated simple themes,
which he understood in a plain and
simple way. Tussor had an ear for
music, and served to order as Choir
lister In some churches of his day.
His first publication was entitled "A
Hundred Good Points of Husband
rie," and later he published "A Hun
bred Good Points of Husbandrie Late
ly Married Unto a Hundred Good
Points Of Housewifery," and still later
this was ampiihed into Five Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandry Unit
ed to as Many of Good Housewifery,"
Reprints of these boks are still ex-
tant with an autobiography of the au-
thor in verse. Southey. himself q
critical poet, characterized Tusser as
"a good. honest, homely. useful old
rhymster." Some Of Tusser's phrases
have passed into proverbs.

CHARM HARD TO ANALYzE
Its Presence Easily Felt, but DescrIp-
ton VIII BE Found q Thing
Of Some Difficulty.

Over half Of our American girls
work. They stand behind counters,
bend over machines, sit at desks, and
march, militant figures, in the process
sion OF industries that seem to block
the road to girlish grace and light
heartedness and freedom from care.
One woman who has worked among
and written books about and found
inspiration in the working girl says
that charm sometimes drifts down,
unawares, thing ephemeral a gift
of the gods to the girl who has had to
work so hard that she has had no
time to think about her lack OF
beauty.
II wish knew wherein charm lies;
but I don't know, although I've stud
led It and tried to analyze Il as much
as most folks have, suspect. In
books, in pictures, in people. in places,
I've met many, many kinds of charm;
but I've never been able to say Just
what It was that charmed me. Ger
tainly It was never mere beauty, nor
mere intelligence, nor mere cheerful
ness, nor mere kindness. I've seen
beauty that bored, and listened to
cleverness that repealed. and met with
cheerfulness that was inane and with
kindness that was exasperating.
Charm is gift Of the gods, and It
cannot be wooed like fame, nor won
like money, nor bought like titles, nor
developed like patience, nor seized
like prize O. war. If it comes, It
comes; and IL it's thought on too
much, It flies away. And there's an
end on it."-Mother's Magazine.

PAID TRIBUTE TO LAUGHTER
Men Of Intellect and Renown Join In
Testimony to the Value Of
JoIlIty In Life.

The value Of good-natured laugh
may be rated low by some people;
but many writer's have attested its
worth in no measured terms.
It is not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, "a laugh is
worth a hundred groans In any mar
ket;" but from the lips of the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear, mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad"
It was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that, What was talked of as
the golden chain of Jove was nothing
more than a succession of laughs.
chromatic scale of merriment reach
ing from earth to Olympus"
Il am persuaded" wrote Laurence
Sterne, that every time man smiles
but much more so when he laughs-it
adds something to his fragment Of
life"
Last of all may be cited the verdict
of Oliver Wendell Holmes, given with
his own inimitable humor, "The riot
out tumult of laugh, take 1t, is the
mob law Of the features, and Pro
priety the magistrate who reads the
riot act."-The Sunday Magazine.

BEES DRIVE OUT WORKERS
Welsh Manufacturing Plant Has Come
to Look for Annual invasion
Of the Insects.

For the tenth successive autumn a
flourishing mineral water factory at
Cardiff, Wales, carried on by Messrs.
Smith & Co., is being invaded by bees,
which come in huge companies.
The firm has consulted local bee
keepers and experts, but no one can
say where the bees come from, al
though bee keepers in neighboring
suburbs state that they have lost
large numbers lately Bee experts say
they may come from many miles
around.
A curious fact is that although
Messrs. Smith have been "honored"
by these armies of bees for ten years,
another mineral water factory nearly
opposite and another round the corner
have been left alone. The bees come
every morning as soon as day breaks
and depart when the sun goes down
or, rather those of them do who have
not fattened themselves too much on
the little pools of syrup which are al
ways to be found on slabs and utensils
and window stills In a mineral water
factory.

Might and Terror Seemingly incar
nate With the Winged Hue
sars Of Poland.

SILK and satin. fur and velvet had
given away to shimmering metal, to
plumed helmet and the pelt OF bear
and wolf; instead Of the warm glow
OF precious stones, flashed the cold
CLINT OF naked steel, in place OF caf.
tan, cloak and loose trousers. one saw
breast-plate, loin guard and pelisse.
And here were faces curiously still
under the curved ear-pieces, and here
we're bodies sheated in plumage and
the skins Of wild beasts.
Yet this was not enough. For to

fifes beh'-d crartiaa, dragon and

sat their heavy horses. their lances
made a forest, and from their shout
ders rose the famous wings" Sufn-
GENTLY splendid in themselves, they
had added this last touch Of splendor.
From their shoulders. as in the re
liefs of ancient Egypt, rose great
wings-the rustling of them filed the
theater. Might and terror we're In

could stand before the awful sibilance
Of their onrush, this apparition of
something inconceivably monstrous,
yet inconceivably superb?
War had fired this people to new
appropriations that ended in gran.

dreamed of war gods buoyed on the
spread of carved and painted wings;
the Pole dared to attempt them In his
line Of battle, to embody them, to be

Over this army foated Poland eagle,
white upon its blood-red ground. A

LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Was Perfectly Con-
WINGED That the Youngster Was
Competent to Give II.

The old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to, for 1t
was getting late. He rather suspect
ed they had wandered out into the
garden, so he wendell his steps in
that direction. He soon came across
the young people, and found them in
a most interesting attitude. The
young man had the fair girl clasped
In both his arms, and was kissing her
as If he hadn't tasted such dainty
for at least five minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
osculatory performance to the finish
which he found to be somewhat weary
work-and then made his presence
known.
Isn't it very late for you young
people to be out?" he said.
'It isis rather, pa" faltered the
fair girl; "but-but Mr.. Popple has
been giv-giving me lesson in as

tleman. "He has, and no mistake!
myself saw him teaching you how the
Great Bear hugs"
Then the young couple looked sc
foolish that the old gentleman shut
his eyes out of sheer compassion.

uRG WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE
Indictment OF American Railroad Man
agement Called for by Annual
Slaughter.

II ls a serious Indictment which the
bringst American railroad manage
ment. During the year now drawing
to close there we're 1915 cases OF
derailment, and OF these 1877 we're
caused by defects in roadway and
S,s47 by defective equipment. This
Is total increase Of 1875 over the de-
railments of the preceding year. In
one serious case OF deraiIment the
commission found 9O6 rotten ties with
In q distance of 147 rail lengths. Some
Of these wcro so badly decayed as to
be unfit for use, and in many cases
the spikes fastening the rails to the
ties were so loose as to be easily dis
engaged by the hand. Notwithstand-
ing such conditions, there is no les
SEEMING of speed on American railroads
and thousands are yearly sent to hos
pitfalls or the grave because of this
mismanagement and contentious In
difference.
The total number of casualties on
steam roads during the year ended
June 30 was 1S0,123 of which 10,5S5
we're persons killed and 1888 in
jured. These figures indicate an in
crease over the previous year of 1S9
killed and 1879 injured.
Not until the heads of railroads are
held to accountability other than mon
etary for this awful slaughter, due to
poor equipment and bad management,
will the death toll be reduced. A few
convictions on criminal charges would
lead to greater safety.-Utica Globe.

constantInopIe,s III Luck.

Herbert Vivian the other night al
luded to an extraordinary superstition
connected with the famous wild dogs
of Constantinople. These dogs were
supposed by many to bring good luck
to the city, and though a dog is
deemed uncleans by all good Moslems,
they were well treated by the popu-
lace.
But the powers that be one day
removed the dogs to an island where
they were allowed to die in awful tor
ture by starvation, and with their dis
appearance has departed the good
luck of Constantinople. Certainly the
Turks have fallen upon evil times,
but whether the wild dogs have any
thing to do with the fact is quite
another matter-Westmins Ga.

Novelist and Professor.

The kins has been pleased to ap-
prove the appointment of Sir Arthur
Quiller-Couch to be King Edward VII
professor Of English literature in the
University of Cambridge.
Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch becomes,
therefore, the second occupant of a
chair formed in 1909 for the promotion
of the study of English literature con
literary and critical rather than on
pathological and linguistic lines"
The appointment, while giving great
pleasure to the novelist's numerous
admirers, comes somewhat as a sur
prise. Sir Arthur is an Oxford man,
who graduated from Trinity college in
1886 to become lecturer In classics at
the same college.-London Standard
