his own construction upon the actions
of the parties. The correct procedure
was for the witness to state what he
had seen and heard, and to describe
the actions of the parties.
| (13) The plaintiff was as'
whether or not she had told her sister
anything about her approaching mar.
riage. Ordinarily such a question is
material but each case must rest upon
the peculiar circumstance attending
and the matter rests in the sound
discretion of the trial court which will
not be disturbed except for abuse. No
abuse Of such discretion is shown in
this instance.
Gay Plaintiff was asked to explain
what she meant by certain statements
which she had made to the defendant
While, ordinarily witness is not al
lowed to place her own Interpretation
upon language used by her, circum.
stances may be such that an explain

sary. This matter also rests in the
sound discretion of the trial court and
we see no abuse in this instance.

felt after the defendant refused to
marry her. The question is some

confined to damages occasioned by the
breach of promise, but the record dis.
poses that it was so understood BY
all parties in this instance and there
was no prejudice in allowing her to

REAL CATCHY MUSIC NEVER
HEARD ON ANY STAGE WILL
BE OFFERED.

Music that has never been heard on
any stage before, that is SO catchy
that even the participants in "The
Chautauqua Chaperone" can hardly
refrain from whistling it on the streets
even in advance of the show, is what
DR.. F. J. Pierce has written for the
"home spun" production. which Dew.
lis Lake men have written for the ap.
proval of the public on the evenings
of June l3 and IA.
Seven big song hits, every one bet
ter than the other, will be the opin.
ion of every one who has the opporutn
ity to see the musical comedy, which
has been written around the men il
the cast. That the Lake Region, Ram
sey county and Devils Lake should
furnish plot for a vivid story which
is portrayed in "The Chautauqua
Chaperone" is beyond the conception
of the people of this city, who are
soon to learn through the synopsis Of
the possibilities of this city in provid
ing an ingenious plot for a musical
frolic.
Many who attended the first meet
ing yesterday, had no intention Of be-
coming participants in the musical fro
lie, but it took no coaxing to get them
to consent when the lines were read
and the music was heard. There will
be another rehearsal this evening at
the Commercial club at O'Clock first
for a short meeting, the rehearsal in
the hall shortly after. Those contem-
plating taking chorus parts are urgent
~ requested to be present tonight.

LONDON'S PARKS.
History of the Fairgrounds Of
British Metropolis.

From London Tt-Bits.
With the advent of bright sunshine and
summer weather, hundreds Of thousands
OF Londoners take their daily airings in
London's parks, just as their ancestors
did many, many years ago.
In Saxon times Hyde Park belonged to
an old manor; later it was given over to
a monastery. Until this time it consisted
Of wild forest land but the monks turned
part of ii into pretty fields and pasture
land. In the time Of Bluff King Hal the
park was used again for hunting. and
parts of it continued to be used for this
purpose until the reign of George LII.
Charles I opened part of the park as a
pleasure ground, and since then it has
been gradually extended. In the reign of
William III it formed favorite resort of
highwaymen at night time, and so it was
not safe to walk or drive there after dark.
King George, by riding in the row every
day, Is following the custom of his royal
ancestors, for Rotten row is said 10 have
derived its name from the French route
du roi, or kings road"
The Serpentine was made from num-
Der of pools fed by a stream called the
Westbourne. Queen Caroline, the wife of
George II, had these pools drained and
thrown into one, forming the winding
piece of water as it is today.
The Green Park was laid out by Charles
1, who built an icehouse for cooling
wines, fashion which oDIained in those
days.
ST. James Park has. perhaps. the most
interesting history of all our parks. At
one time 1t formed the grounds of hos
pital for lepers but Henry VIII took pos
session of it, building one of his resi-
dences, st. James Pa ace, there.
James I started a collection of wild ami
mails in the park. but a great portion of
it was reserved for the cultivation of null
berry trees. and here quantities of silk
worms We're reared.
Charles III had the park laid out in
beautiful gardens and avenues of trees.
1t was his fayorite resort. He got to-
gether a wonderful collection of ducks
and foreign birds-the park is noted for
its foreign birds to this day, many of
them being descendants of the birds put
there i'm the days of the merrie monarch.
He built also what is known as Duck Is
land. a little Island still stands near the

Pearl Forming Properties.

Paris Correspondence of the New York sun.
A novel treatment for tuberculosis is
being studied by Prof. Raphael Dubois
OF Lyon. For the present he refrains
from drawing any conclusions or making
any predictions from the experiments he
has made. Prof. Dubois has made spe-
cial study Of the nature and formation of
pearls. and 1t was on his suggestion that
the use Of X-rays to discover which
oysters contained pearls was adopted.
The pearl is. according to his theory n
calcareous secretion made by the oyster
to protect itself from an invading para
site. This parasite is frequently of n
verminous nature. so that the pearl is but
the brilliant coffin Of a worm. but in
many other cases the parasite is a micro
cOccus, which Prof. dubois has succeeded
In cultivating in an appropriate medium.
6ut an oyster is not the only being
which reacts in this manner against a
menacing pathogenic agent. A consump-
tive cures himself Of his i'll when the
microbes which are destroying his lungs
have been isolated. Enclosed in calcare-
Gus product. For this reason it has been
argued that It Is only necessary to enrich
tuberculous body in chalk TO allow
the calcareous secretions to take the place
OF the destructive LESSONS due to the Koch
bacilli.
1t has Deeu lOuIlu IoNSFti, tiiit Ger
tain consumptives might add chalk to
their organism without the slightest
benefit, and could even adopt tho old
time remedy Of powdered bones, which
Prof. Robin has brought back INTO lash
ion, without improving their condition.
. He analysed the concretions formed
around the tuberculous parts OF the lungs
of two oxen and around the liver of d
pig, which were recovering from tuber-
culosis and was astonished TO find a
micrococcus identical with that which he
had found in the center Of the pearls
OF certain oysters.
He inoculated twelve guinea pigs with
tuberculosis bacilli and then inoculated
them with this micrococcus. Ten months
later one only was dead: the others had
overcome the disease.

TURK BLACK GANG
CHEATS ENGLISH
Gets Part Payment in Ad-
vance, and Buyers
Wait.
From London Tit-Bits.

From London TitBlts.
Taking advantage OF the fact that they
are too far away to be brought to &C
count, the members of gang of trade
swindlers in Turkey have been very ac-
tive lately victimizing English traders.
Considerable quantities of wool and mo-
hair are exported from Turkey to this
country, and it appears to be the prac-
tice of various swindlers in CONSTANT
nople and other Turkish towns, trading
as reputable firms. to ask for part pay
ment in advance for consignments.
Not doubling the bona fides of these
Turkish traders" people in this country
have sent money in advance in payment
for orders. only to find that they have
ed, have been found to be quite worth
less. For instance. a Nottingham firm
paid 80 per cent (about f96) in advance
for a consignment OF secured white
WOOL, which upon arrival turned out to
be a mixture of cows hair and lime of
a totally different weight.
The annual White Paper on Turkey. is
sued by the foreign office and the board
of trade, which states that, notwithstand-
ing all warnings published in trade re-
ports and chamber of commerce journals
from Constantinople and Smyrna, this
ever in 1912 gives several other instances
of the trade tricks Of these Turkish
swindlers. Birmingham firm paid cash
against documents for parcel of hair.
which. upon arrival, proved to be value
less matter of One-quarter the specified
weight.
Another case was that of a Dublin firm
Of candle manufacturers. who ordered
one and half tons of genuine beeswaX
and paid 50 per cent, or f14O, in ad-
vance. The goods, on arrival, weighed
only three-quarters of a ton. and con-
sisted Of almost valueless ''off color" par
afin wax. Another Dublin firm lost E11O
by precisely the same trick.
Finding that the rubbish which is sent
to Europe and America was not appreci-
ated by the buyers. the gang has now
gone one better, and has had false bills
of lading printed. which it supplies to
its clients. The same purpose is served,
as the buyer advances his 50 per cent
just as readily on the forged bill of lad
ing and the gang is spared the expense
and trouble OF shipping the rubbish.
The names under which the gang trades
have been furnished to the Commercial
Intelligence branch of the board of trade.
but there is no reason why it should
not employ any name The obvious pre-
caution Is to inquire from the consulate,
or from the British Chamber of Com
merce, before dealing with strangers on
this market.

Reading.

From the New York Tribune
Our bodies are what we eat" asserts
an evening newspaper. and continues:
Our minds are what we read"
An exaegeration like this may serve TO
emphasize the Importance of eating
wholesome food and reading clean books
Scientifically, 1t is valueless. Mastication
and digestion are processes as essential
to getting the full value out of literature
as they are to getting the full value out
of dinner. A thoughtful man benefits
more largely from reading James Open
helm or Leonard Merrick than "A fool
does from reading Meredith and Shakes
peare. A discr .minating mind puts one
issue of the Tribune to a better use than
a slovenly mind can do with seventy-five
monthly magazines We don't need to
read more half SO much as we need to
read more intelligently.

Ambitious Youths Offend.

Ambitious young men with a yearning
for society" are said to be the chief
offenders, but it is difficult to see how
they improve their chances by their RASH
ness. The London girl is a very difficult
person to bluff into believing she has met
you before. and that is the unlimited
youths only chance Of securing part
ner, unless he has the audacity to bring
one with him-a proceeding before which
the stoutest heart might quail, the risk
and ignominy of exposure would be SO
great.
The possibility of his presence where
he is SO little wanted is due to the con-
fusion in society since it has outgrown
itself For where it is the usual thing
for a new hostess who has not been
much in London to use friends list
for a dance lin other words, to invite the
friends friends), and where the friends
are allowed to bring as many more as
they like. provided they are men," and
when clubs are invited wholesale, it is
obviously impossible to keep Il check on
who comes. However. it is going to be
done, ] am told, even if dances have to
be reasonably cool and comfortable and
pleasant in consequence-that is, reduced
to about quarter of their present size.

Fashionable Girl Progressive.

The fashionable girl of the period is not
the maiden of twenty years ago, who was
excited at the idea of a dance-any dance.
At a very recent ball, at which several
royal personages were present, a quiet
young girl caused some amusement by
confiding to her friends that she had only
come because her chaperon had wept
when she announced that it would be too
much bother to CO. The truth is that
another Indispensable point to the up-to-
date girl is the permission-or the posi-
bility-of ''her taking her own man" to
dance. Otherwise, in the heterogeneous
world of modern London she risks meet
ing none of her special friends. AT the
very formal balls. with royalty present
and decorations and full dress worn, she
is not asked, Of course, to take, nor dare
she take, her own friends with her.
London hosteSseS are confronted this
year with the most perplexing problem
OF late years-the unlimited guest a per-
son who has no more nefarious design
none. for instance, on the spoons) than
an evenings entertainment at some one
else's expense. Hostesses, however-un-
like the great Lady PaImerston, who
when shown some of the unlimited at a
crush at her own house merely remarked
that she hoped they'd enjoy it-are re-
solved to put an end to these intrusions,
and 1t has been suggested that host
esses' union should be inaugurated.

DANCES AT HOTELS
LATEST IN LONDON
Hostesses Find Fad Saves on
Furniture and Temper and
Guests Like 1t.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

LONDON, July ID, 1913
Nothing is more significant Of the
change which has come over society
within the last decade than the growth
of what till recently was unheard of ex-
cept in the suburbs-the dance given at
a hotel. The fashion seemed to spring
up In a night, but In reality it came
gradually. The beginning was the giving
of dances in empty houses. An enter
prisng hostess suddenly realized the
saving of wear and tear to temper and
furniture alike which would be gained
by the hiring for one night of some large
and convenient empty house. and this
custom gradually crept in
But at the best the empty house
dance is poor thing. There Is some
thing depressing and temporary in the
atmosphere of house the upper rooms
of which are known to be empty. Then
some one. greatly daring. decided to send
out invitations for dancing at one of the
very big hotels. The idea caught on, and
now not only are the hotel dances more
popular than at any except the really
palatial houses. like Lansdowne or Derby
houses, but many young people actually
refuse to go to the dances at private
houses.
