On a little house in London appears
the interesting sign, Academy for
Birds" and from the open windows in
summer comes a most amazing vol
m Of bird-song. The professor
is not at all particular as to the breed
or value Of the pupils offered. Any
song-bird is eligible; terms, so cents
for the course. The academy guar
antees that each pupil shall leave
the establishment fully proficient to
render three airs without omission
and In correct time.
The method of instruction is very
simple. and is said to be remarkably
successful. There are three rooms, in
each Of which is a monograph which
plays q single air. A new bird has his
cage hung in room No. / until he has
learned to sing correctly the constant
~ly-repeated air, and Is then transferred
to the second, and in time to the
third room. The professors are hope
fui that some day 1t may be possible
to teach Strauss to a parrot or a
Beethoven sonata to a starting.

If you HAVE LOVED BEFORE
Be sure Your WIfe-to-7e Knows All
About II, for That 10 the Ma
ture Of Woman.

Some men seem to have the idea
that to tell a girl their old love az
fairs is to make her jealous or un-
easy henceforth.
This is quite a mistake, for II she
is that sort of girl she Is not worth
troubling about, and it's better to find
out in time, as a marriage where COM
plete confidence does not reign on
both sides is not likely to be a happy
one.
However. speaking generally, no
sensible girl really fancies she is the
first and only love, for where is the
man, or the girl. for the matter of
that, who has never had the shadow
Of @ passing Irritation before the pres
ent "adored one" appeared on the
scene? And, after all, 1t does not mat
ter very much how many old love
affairs a man has had, provided they
are dead and gone, and he can truly
impress upon his reigning sovereign
that she is the best and truest and
the last. A great many girls like to
feel that they are the chosen recipi-
ents Of such condolences, and the mere
fact Of being able to chat easily
about old flames will prove that no
sad remembrance is attached.
Even if you did happen to have q
serious attachment. it is all the more
necessary to be absolutely straightfor
ward about it.
Your fancee will appreciate your
honesty, and can feel that at all events
there are no unpleasant discoveries
to be made later On. for when conf
dences come too late then real mis-
chief Is done, and it takes a noble
minded woman to forgive and forget.

The fact that salt is SO useful In
keeping meats and other foods from
spelling has led to a widespread belief
that 1t is fatal to all microbes. As a
matter of strict scientific fact, how
ever. this is a serious mistake.
The bacilli which cause tuberculo-
sfs, typhus fever and other diseases
can be kept in strong brine for sew
eral weeks without suffering any dam
age. Not only does the salt fail to
kill them, but 1t even seems to make
them thrive all the better.
II salt were really fatal to microbes
our bodies ought to be practically i'm
mune to their attacks. for every drop
Of human blood contains a consider
able percentage of salt. But, as is
well known, this salt does not prevent
microbes of disease from obtaining a
foothold In our bodies and multiply.

CREW Laws
HURT CHANGERS
Lack Of Labor Keeps Farmers
From Awaiting Of
Opportunities
Philadelphia. Feb. &c.

Philadelphia, Feb. rs.
Z. L. ODonL1l, chairman of the
executive committee of the associat-
ed is-----s, SEEING support Of the
grange organizations of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey in effecting repeal of
the Full Crew Laws of those states,
has addressed a personal letter to
about $4,000 farmers, in which he sets
forth chief reasons for repeal.
Mr. O'Donnel cites the stand taken
against Full Crew measures by the
grangers Of Texas, Missouri and New
York. The farmers, he asserts, should
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, not
only because they are fundamentally
bad legislation, and as such opposed
to good government, but also because
the farmers are confronted with labor
problems which such laws make more
difficult.
This year." the letter reads in
part, because of the higher prices
for farm produce, there Is a call for
increased paintings, and the greatest
drawback you have in taking advan-
tage of your opportunity this year is
lack of labor.
1.-THE men employed as a result of
these laws have usually come from
the farm, naturally seeking the higher
pay which the railroads are obliged
to give.
This creation of extra jobs has
called for the expenditure of over ST.
100000 a year by railroads in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, which must
be borne indirectly by the shippers.
1t has taken way from the railroads
money which was needed for elimina-
ton of grade crossings. purchase of
refrigerator and stock cars, construc-
ton of sidings in producing territory,
and from general development work.
There is no purpose to lay off men
whose services are necessary to ade-
Guately mar trains; the object is
merely to eliminate men for whom
there is no real necessity and for
I'M jobs exist only by edict of

Thorn HEDGE Of Ypres.

The town with the unpronounceable
name. Ypres, nee proved literally too
thorny a problem for English be-
siegers. When Henry Spencer, bishop
of Norwich, led his troops against 1t
they tried in vain again and again to
pierce the mass of thorn bushes that
lined the exterior slopes of the ram
parts. Hence the image of Notre
Dam-de-Thuine. Our Lady of the
Garden" in the Cathedral of st. Mar
tin at Ypres. and also the fair of
Thaindag, fixed for the first Sunday in
August, in honor of the thorn hedge
that saved the city.

Woman Would Not Do Il.

"Of all the silly things attributed to
women" said the observant maid,
none is so bad as a masculine habit
Of which women never are guilty. and
that is picking up newspapers left in
cars. Women do not read the papers
in public c%onyeyances to the extent
men do, but when they do, they buy
one. Every woman has too much sense
to run the risk of taking up q paper
left by a fellow passenger. In the first
place. she Is too fastidious to do so.
but if she were not. she would be de-
TERED by hygienic reasons. She knows
how easy it would be to contract q

there Is the principle Of the thing.
Women look on the reading OF other
persons papers as grating. to borrow

Influences of the Moon.

The many and erratic motions Of the
moon are so intricate that space here
is not enough for their technical ex-

influences of the moon is in its caus-

magnetic attraction, and it is an in

themselves. Although primarily
or Portuguese stock, yet they
have SO freely intermarried with
Indians and negroes, as well as
with Europeans, that a distinct
Kew race has developed.
1t certainly is a great eye
opener to white people who come
here from our southern states to
see how this mixture of races is
encouraged. There Is no color
line IN Brazil. All men and wo-
men are judged by their earning
capacity, irrespective of color
Moreover, instead of branding
one "colored" because he is one
eighth black-as is customary in
the southern states of North
America-the reverse system Is
used. One who has an eighth or
one-sixteenth part white blood is
branded as white"
But Notwithstanding the Bra
lillian system of intermarriage and
its apparent good results, the de-
velopment of the country has been
due to Europeans.
Everything which I have thus
far seen in this wonderful country
of Brazil Is the result of both
European capital and European
energy. The railways and public
utilities have been financed by
the English; the great coffee in
dustry is largely in the hands OF
Germans; while a plantation or
ranch owner is almost sure to be
of any nationality rather than of
pure Brazilian descent.
The Brazilians seem to be fond
of politics. The are naturally
rhetorical and enjoy the exhilar-
alton which comes from political
life.
Hence, they are content to leave
production, industry and COM
merce to 1.-The foreigners who
are foolish enough to bother
Herewith" In order that they may
be free to discuss the affairs of
state.
In 1891 a Brazilian congress
met and adopted a constitution
pat erned after that of our United
States. Since them Brazil has
been in theory a republic, with
separation of church and state.
The different states of Brazil
have even more Independent
power than have our states. Only
by granting Sac Paulo and other
important southern states prac-
teal self-government has the
country been held together.
No mountain ranges nor other
natural barriers divide the great
country into separate portions.
Hence, as the boundary lines be-
tween other nations are now sat
isfactorily adjusted many believe
that Brazil will not be re-divided,
but will gradually become more
solidified.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 10.
Just now Theodore Roosevelt is
favorable to the nomination of
Hiram w. Johnson of California
as the progressive party's candi-
date for president in 1915.
This does not mean that he is
irrevocably committed to the plan
OF nominating Johnson. Political
situations change and plans must
be changed to meet new emer-
gencies.
Dwight Hurd of Arizona, has
written Roosevelt urging him to
endorse Johnson for the progress
sive nomination.
Roosevelt has replied, express
ing his admiration for Johnson
and his agreement that Johnson
would be an excellent man for the
presidential office, but setting out
his further conviction that the
present is not the time to come
forward with personal endorse
ments of any candidate.
Col. Roosevelt takes the ground
that the course to be pursued by
the progressive party may de-
pend considerably on that pur-
sued by the republican party.
If the latter puts up man like
Root or Weeks and announces a
platform like that put out by
Mark Hanna for Mckinley, the
duty of putting a progressive
party candidate in the field -
some man like Hiram Johnson -
would be obvious.
On the other hand, should the
party learn a lesson by its late
experiences and name forward
looking man on a platform en-
bodying the essential principles of
the progressive platform and ade-
quate military preparedness, the
colonel undoubtedly feels - al
though he does not say so-that
