Caravaqoio Picture Found.

An important find has been made in
the art collection of Marchese della
Stufa at France. 1t is painting by
Caravaggio, which had been lost sight
of for many years. The painting was
known to connoisseurs through print
in the Galleria degli Ufizzi.
Sig di Pietro, the secretary Of this
gallery, was determined to find the
picture. 1t was known that in the
year 1900 it was in possession of the
Cerretani family, which is now ex.
tinct.
Sig di Pietro, while examining Mar.
cheese della Stufa's collection saw the
painting and Immediately identified it.
The Ufizzi print is an exact reproduc.
ton of the picture, which is a typical
Caravaggio. 1t depicts six youths, one
of whom is playing violin, one Lutte
and one flute, while two are singing
and one is listening.-New York Sun

braid. Black braid is a wiser choice
for long journey, because it doesn't
require cleaning very often. A heavy
quality of cloth is chosen, and is
shrunk before the cape is cut Besides
broadcloth there are other serviceable
cloths that answer the purpose for a
travelling cape, but none quite as good
looking. Cravanette and the several
waterproofed fabrics, like serge and
cheviot, are to be considered, and the
choice governed by the needs or taste
of the individual.
The broadcloth cape is lined with a
substantial wooden fabric, as rule
in a plain color or in dark plaid. Large
bone buttons and strong buttonholes
provide the fastening, and part OF
the meager decoration which Is per
missible in the travellers cape.
A new field for usefulness for the
cape has been developed since the au.
tomobile has become a part Of the
paraphernalia of life. 1t is the extra
garment to be taken along and to be
relied upon to meet weather changes
1t and the extra veil might be included
in the long list Of accessories which
go with the machine. For the cape
fits all figures and Is as much a fam
lily affair as the old-time shawl In time
the owner becomes attached to a cape
as to reliable friend. There are very
few among the shortlived garments Of
today which can ever possess the
charm of association possible to cape
When it is made all this is to be con
sidered. 1t must be ample, long enough
to almost cover the figure, well put
together, and always in a stable color
Strong and dark blues have proved
themselves the best choice.

Ancient STAGE to Be Used,

A more than usually interesting dra-
matte revival is announced for April
16, when the "Agamemnon" of Aes-
chylus will be performed in the an
cient Greek theater of Syracuse.
Nearly "a centuries have passed
since Hero embellished his city with
the theater which tradition attributes
to the architect Derfocopor Myrilla.
Aeschylus must have taken refuge
in the court of Hero very soon after
it's completion, and it may be conjec-
tured that the great trilogy, which be-
gan with the "Agamemnon," was
often performed on it's stage; it is
known that the "Persae" was per-
formed there and work written for
Hero by Aeschylus, entitled the EFT
neae," of which no trace remains

modern improvements. l have known
small houses to rent for eight or ten
dollars a month and l have known
houses that cost very little more to
rent for double that amount simply
because they were built attractively
and contained modern means of heat
ing and with plumbing connections so
the different members of the family
could keep themselves clean.
A great deal depends on the plan
as well as the convenience and the
outside appearance. 1t is an art that
seems difficult to acquire, the building
of small artistic, comfortable houses,
but it is an art well worth studying.
Such houses should be a great deal
more common than they are. 1t would
prevent families who like to live nicely
from crowding into fiat buildings
where they have neither light nor suf-
ficient air. This is another excuse for
narrow lots. A 50-foot lot would
hold two such houses and make COM

VIZ HEN long Journey is to be un-
w dertaken, or where there is
prospect of globe-trotting ahead, there
is one garment that may be depended
upon for comfort and for style; it
is the travellers cape. 1t has taken
the place of the old-fashioned shawl
and is the same reliable companion
which does duty on all sorts of occa-
sions and helps out in all sorts Of
emergencies.
These capes and combinations Of
capes with other garments have been
designed in several ways. When made
of a material of medium weight the
cape is often part of a loose-titting
coat, and is detachable and fastened
to the undergarment at the collar, In
heavier fabrics the cape is cut in one
with the coat and Is shorter, extend
ing about to the knees. Or cape fronts
Of the same length as the coat are
fastened in at the side seams and are
shaped to accommodate themselves to
the shape Of the coat. This special
variety Is intended for the sea trip
more particularly.
The convenience Of a cape like that
shown in the picture is evident. 1t
may be worn over the coat-suit or
as an extra garment over a separate
coat, or without any other wrap I'M
der 1t, depending upon the amount of
protection the wearer needs. 1t is
easily kept presentable and is never
out of fashion. Such garments are
made Of the best grade of fabrics used
for outer wraps and made in the most
substantial manner, as they are likely
to be subject to rough wear.
The cape illustrated is made of blue
broadcloth in the brightest of navy
blue and is trimmed with fiat white

Neither Money Nor Stamps In Sonora.

Neither Money Nor Stamps In Sonora.
In the state of Sonora, Mexico, the
operation of the mines is now going
on as If nothing had ever happened.
Sonora has seeded and no federals
are in sight. The state government
runs things on its own hook, but
neither has nor has claimed any ma
tional rights.
This produces endorsements, says
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Sonora has no coinage and currency is
scarce. The supply of federal postage
stamps has run out, and those of the
sovereign state Of Sonora do not carry
In the United States, Consequently
Americans put United States stamps
on their letters and pay three cents
into the state postoff1ce. The latter
undertakes to carry them to the
American border and mail them there.
Thus we see foreign postmarks on
American stamps, philatelic curios-
ity.

1t costs little more when building

Dance Has Had Various Names.

Speculations on the correct spelling
and pronunciation of tango as a dance
recall the fact that there were similar
doubts about the waltz, which, when
introduced just century ago, was
scolded In terms very similar to those
now applied to the tango Waltz has
had many different spellings. Its
first form was as '1avolta" In old
Provence. Henry II. of France was
fond of dance which was really a
development of lavolta, and an early
form of the waltz. It was then called
volta" Castil Blaze remarks that
"the waltz, which we took again from
the Germans in 1875, had been
French dance for 400 years" When
1t went to Germany it acquired Its
usual name of waltz" but 1t is still
quite common to find 1t on programs
under the French form of valse

Sometimes it is necessary to build
a house to fit narrow lot. AS a gen.
eral thing lots are deep enough to hold
almost any kind of house. Few lots
In American cities are less than one
hundred feet front to back, but be-
cause of expensive street improve
ments they are often squeezed side
ways until houses get to be very
close neighbors. 1t is unfortunate that
1t is so but we have to take condi-
tons as we find them and make the
best of them. Sometimes these mar
row lots are in very desirable neigh
borhoods, convenient to transportation
and convenient for other reasons; and
by building house to fit the lot such
property may be made very comfort
able and attractive.
This design shows a house only
IS feet wide, but the length Is
3S feet 6 inches, exclusive of
the front porch. Such a shape nee
essarily requires that one room shall
follow another, sometimes with a very
long dark narrow hall, but this plan
avoids that difficulty by putting a
room at the back end of the hall and
by connecting the kitchen with the
dining room by way of the pantry.
Then the upper part of the house is
laid out with bedroom in each end
and bathroom opposite the upper
hallway in the center. This arrange
ment requires that the bathroom shall
be lighted by a dormer window, the
design of which is very neat and at
tractiVe. 1t adds a great deal to the
appearance of the house because it is
ornamental as we'll as useful. Such at
tachments make up the difference be.
tween a common cheap looking house
and satisfactory, useful, ornamental
habitation that is at once very pleas.
ing and interesting.
So-called cottage houses with one
gable end towards the street are as
common as house flies in the cheaper
sections Of some cities. You may
count them by the hundreds and they
are all practically alike; cheap tene
ment looking affairs, each house trying
to look as near like its neighbor as
