RIGHT TO HISS UPHELD.

. If you didn't like a "turn" in a
London music hall show you have
the right to "hiss it." A jury of
free-born Englishmen have so de-
cided at the Swansea assizes.
Alfred E. Pratt, employed by a
London publishing firm, claimed
that he was justified in showing dis
approval of what his counsel de-
scribed as the vulgar and silly dog
gerel of one of the songs.
The jury found for the plaintiff,
and awarded him $3.50 damages
against Herbert Taylor, manager of
the Cardiff Empire and Moss En-
pires, Limited, jointly, as a result
of his forcible ejectment from the
hall.
A witness stated that when the
plaintiff got outside he looked as il
he had come out of a boxing match

GENIUS AND HAIR.

Some inquiring creature has dis
covered that the way to tell genius
is by the hair. True genius, de-
olares this investigator, is marked by
thick, curly, luxuriant hair, brown
or black in color, which never shows
any tendency to get gray before its
time. -'r-., ts,t i'- ~
According to this classification,
Samson and Absalom were the prize
packages of intellect in ancient Is
rael, and Julius Caesar was little
better than an idiot. The records do
not seem TO bear out this view, but
when facts and fads contradict each
other let facts perish.

WRITING THAT LETTER HOME
Duty That Daughter Should Never
Neglect, ls the Assertion Made
by Newspaper.

When a daughter leaves home one
thing she should never neglect, one
thing there is with which no duty
or pleasure should interfere. 1t is
the letter to mother. II is not
enough that she send a postal card /:
every busy. VIII write soon"
Mothers letter should be a budget
of daily, even hourly, happenings. 1t
should be as far as possible refec-
ton of every thought and action in
the new surroundings.
Mothers box of lettersl What a
treasure house of love! How she
guards it! How she dreams over it
and cries over it!
1t is hard for a mother to let
her daughter leave the home nest,
so critical a moment it is in the
latter's life. The daughter should
strive to make the wrench less cruel.
There are hours at home after she
has gone that are happy or dismal
according to whether she is faithful
or careless in mother thought.
Never delay writing the letter
home. 1t is the call supreme. Do
all that you can to please your be-
loved and devoted mother. None
will ever be so appreciative, so SYM
pathetic, so forgiving, so UNDER
standing. No heart will ever beat
more true.-Chicago Tribune.

later a friend encountered him on the
street and started to sympathize with
him because of his trouble. The man
with broken arm sat up in his seat
and eyed his friend closely.

cHlLDREN's READING.

In limiting a child's reading to
what we ourselves hold to be, or what
somebody else holds to be, a whole
some literature, we ought to remem-
Der that in the matter or reading
whatever may be true of anything
else in the wide world-a child, no
more than a grown man, gets any
benefit from that which he does not
enjoy. Make him learn his lessons
by all means, be they palatable or
unpalatable; they are another pair of
shoes. But when his task time is
over, and he is loose for a glorious
while among his books, then go war
lily, and remember that you are a
parent and not a pedagogue. Az,
and not more than you need be of a
sensor.-Hubert Bland, in the Lon
don Sunday Chronicle.

PAID FOR WITH HUMAN LIFE
Mans Many conqucsts IN Various
Fields Of Struggle Have Always
Been Costly.

II would be difIicult TO decide IN
what field OF struggle the indomitable
soul OF man finds its sreest express
sion OF the courage that is in It. In
every age the spirit OF adventure has
spurred men to the point OF holding
life very lightly where high achieve
ment was possible. In the expert
mental stage of the submarine and
the areoplane hundreds Of lives have
been sacrificed; but every loss has
brought success one step nearer than
before. And the world has always
been willing to pay for its triumphs.
In aviation hundreds have persisted
In Attempts at long-distance flight, and
now we have the news of the wonder
full achievement of Brindejonc De
Moulinais, a French aeronaut who,
on July 2, completed an aerial
journey of 300 miles, from Paris to
st. Petersburg and back, being the
longest voyage thus far recorded.
This conqueror of the air is a mere
lad Of twenty-one. Part Of the time
he was travelling at 10 miles an hour,
and for a short distance he attained
a speed Of 14O miles per hour.
Travelling at great height over the
Baltic sea, he was seriously confused
by mistaking a group of islands for
dancing and vanishing clouds. but his
nerve Of steel kept him from losing
his head, which doubtless is the rea-
son why so many aeronauts suddenly
go to pieces and perish. His won
derful adventure viii doubtless stimu-
late others to still more daring at
tempts, involving new sacrifice of lives
laid on the altar of aerial conquest.

=on EXPERTS TO FIGURE ON
little Problem az to "What Becomes
Of the Money seems a BIZ
Puzzllne.

Here is a little problem in the pop
ular course, "What Becomes Of the
Money!" A small bundle of linen
is sent to the laundry. The bill is
30 cents. But in doing the work
the laundry loses house cap worth
80 cents. The laundry willingly adj
iusts matters and gives its patron
so cents for the lost cap. The pa
tron, in turn, gives 80 cents back to
the laundry for the work done. In
reckoning the result this was appar-
emily the case. The owner Of the
linen-minus the missing cap-had
90 cents to show for the lost article.
But the cap was worth 80 cents.
Therefore the patrons loss would
appear to be 30 cents. 1t apparently
was no better with the laundry. The
laundry received 80 cents justly due
it for work. But it felt impelled to
make good the loss of the cap to the
customer, which meant the taking of
so cents from the laundry's profits.
Now, if the laundry thus lost so
cents and the customer lost 30 cents,
who got that money? Perhaps some
expert on the high cost of living can
figure it out.

orlaIn Of the Term swan.sona.

The idea of the sentiment conveyed
by the words ''swan song" is that the
swan when dying sings for the first
time. AS a matter of fact swans do
not sing at any. time, and this inter
esting saying is said to be derived
from an old Morse legend which has
to do with the Valkyries, mythical
maidens in armor with wings of a
swan, who when they floated over the
scene of a battle sang the song Of
death.
