Eown the Scale.

A Knoxville bride is very much in
love with her husband and very willing
to admit it. She likes to sound his
praises to her mother and to her girl

Dear land of song and bard

Ring for all time and story,
Whose saints and martyrs burn

Are for single worlds glory.
Ah, who shall voice the hearts

In such strange. tender strain
Or lilt the laughter OF glad life
Or banshee's weird refrain.
Call dancing elves beneath the
moon
Or wraiths Of warriors bold
With just the music OF thy
tongue?
That Celtic speech Of gold.
O land who stood so high and
free.
Untouched by Roman yoke.
When Britain bowed t.eneath
their chains
Thy pride they never broke.
Where Finn. like David, fought

Where Moore and Goldsmith

Where Emmett spake with tongue

Shall not thy sons know their

Heard the Same Sound Twice.

Heard the Same Sound Twice.
In the New York Telephone Review
Is a striking illustration Of the speed
with which sound travels over tele-
phone wires as compared with the
speed with which 1t travels through
the atmosphere. The manager OF a
large manufacturing plant in Paterson.
N. j.. was standing at the telephone
in his residence. which is about two
miles from his factory. speaking with
the superintendent Of the works when
the whistle of the factory blew for l
o'clock. The sound came to him very
distinctly over the wire. lasting about
five seconds. then ceased. and few
seconds later the same sound OF the
whistle blowing came to him through
an open window near which he was
standing. this time coming via the
slower route-the sound waves OF the
atmosphere. BE thus actually heard
the same sound twice.

Peonla Who Do Not Whistle.

Arabia must be a heaven for those
whose lives are made burden to them
by the whistler. The Arab maintains
that whistler's mouth cannot be purl-
fed for forty days and nights. and
they assert of the whistler that Satan
has touched his body and caused him
to produce the offensive sound. Then
there are the natives of the Tonga is

sin to whistle. as it IS an act dlsre-
spectful to God Even in some dis

clare that if one whistles in the even
