EFFECT THAT WAS LASTING
Dumas Had Ready Explanation Of the
Presence Of Sleepy Ones In
Audience.

The elder Dumas was celebrated for
his never-failing repartee in every.
day conversation. In illustration there
may be cited the following:
One evening he attended a theater
in Paris with literary colleague, wit.
Messing a play written by the latter.
The author of Monte Cristo" noticed
that one of the audience in the par.
quet had gone to sleep during the per.
Torrance. He nudged his friend,
pointing to the sleeper, and whispered:
rs that the effect your plays have
upon some people?"
Soon after the same couple went to
the same theater on an evening when
a play by Dumas was being produced.
Again there was a man asleep in the
parquet. Look" said Dumas friend,
"at the result OF your dramatic
works."
"Why. my dear fellow" was the re-
ply. that's the same man we saw
asleep here the other night. He Is not
awake yet"

Nova Scotia's History.

When discovered by the British in
1928 Nova Scotia was not named.
A few years later it was settled by
the French, who called it Acadia. It
passed to the English by the treaty Of
Utrecht, In 1913, and they changed the
name from Acadia to Nova Scotia.
This name was first used in a grant
made by King James l, who was born
in Scotland, and chose name in
honor Of his native country. The
royal grant under the name was made
to Sir William Alexander, a Scotch.
man, who wrote poor poetry, and was

PEARL HAS FAMOUS HISTORY
Among Other Things, It 10 the Oldest
Object Used for Adornment
Of the Person.

The pearl is the only gem needins
not the hand Of man to bring to per
lection. and history affords ample
evidence of the intense fascination II
has exercised upon the people of every
ago. The pearl is the Oldest object OF
personal adornment.
Indian mythology often speaks OF
the pearl, attributing its discovery to
the god Vishnu, who is said to have
caused 1t to be drawn from the ocean
for his daughter Pandaia. The rec.
ords OF the Babylonians, Egyptians,
Persians and Romans also contain
many references to the gem. The wife
OF Emperor Caligula, for an ordinary
betrothal feast, is said to have
decked herself with pearls to the
value Of $1.000,000; and julius Caesar
presented Servilla, the mother of Bru-
tus. with a specimen valued at $780,
900.
Philip II Of Spain paid 100000 for
. single pearl known as "Peregrina. !"
1t was found in Panama, was pear.
shaped and weighed 1874 carats. Ar,
other king Of Spain-Philip IV-pur.
chased a pearl Of Indian origin weigh.
ing 1875 carats.
The largest pearl known is that
which was once the property of Henry
Philip Hope. Cylindrical in form. It is
two inches long, four and a half
inches in circumference at one end
and three and a half inches at the
other. 1t weighs 1900 grains and is
valued at 100000.
1t is known that the beauty of the
natural pearl sometimes proves eva,
nescent. To retain its shimmerins
splendor 1t needs air and light. Acids
can AFFECT pearls, and enanations
from the human skin can, 1t is con.
tended. destroy the precious luster,
which. once gone, cannot be recov
cred. Sometimes. too, owing to their
comparative softness. pearls become
scratched and thus a source Of anxiety
to their owners.

Traffic on the Duna.

1t is estimated that more than e..
100000 tons of freight are transported
over the Duna each year. Among Its
tributaries, the Mezha, Usvyat Kas-
plya, Ulla, Disna and Bolder-aa are
also navigable. The Beresina canal
connects the Duna with the Dnieper,
thus giving freight route by water
from the Baltic sea, across Europe,
to the Black sea. AS is the general
case with Russian rivers, the Duna
abounds In fish, very delicate
species Of salmon being caught in its
rivers.

Allowance for Your Child,

A child may be given a small regu-
lar allowance for his own use.
Through this he may learn the JOY Of
immediate indulgence of trifing
whims: or he may learn to expend his
resources with discrimination; or he
may learn the advantages of deferring
expenditures for more favorable pur-
chasing, says writer in the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. The child's claim to
such an allowance can be justified to
his mind on exactly the same ground
as his claim to food and clothing and
other material and immaterial wealth
shared in the home. He gets these
things not as a reward of merit, but
through his status as q dependent
member of household.

KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM
War Authorities Keep Effective Track
Of All the Soldiers Under
Their Control.

Il is doubtful whether any foreign
war Office follows with an accuracy
greater than that displayed by the
United States war department the
movements Of its officers. The follow.
ing is an interesting case in point:
A young army officer who had seen
service in this country and in the
East was once with a small scouting
party in Arizona. After two weeks in
the desert his squad came to the rail.
way near a small station. Within ten
minutes telegram from Washington
was brought to him by the station
agent. It asked If the officer wished
to be transferred to one Of the new
artillery regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either Of them.
Then with his squad he set OF again
across the desert.
1t was six days later when they
again struck the railway, this time
80 miles from the point at which they
had previously crossed it, but the Of.
fcer's reply from the war department
was awaiting him. It had been tele.
graphed to every station within two
hundred miles,
A more striking instance of accu.
racy occurred after the same oflcer's
transfer to the East. He was travel
Ing home on leave and. as the regula-
lions require, had notified the depart.
ment of the day, hour and probable
route OF his journey. After he had
been on the train for eight hours at
q small station the conductor entered
with telegram, asking If anyone of
his name was on board. On opening
the telegram the onncer found that It
ordered him to detached duty.
Exactness Of detail could not be car.
ried much further. The war depart.

Americans and Dante.

Except the Bible, no work has had
30 much written about 1t as has the
"Divina Commedia," and no work has
been translated into SO many Ian
guages; among those in our own four
are the work of American translators.
Moreover, Americans are to the fore in
DantesQue comment. During the nine.
teenth century some five hundred pub
locations dealing with the poet were
written by Americans and printed in
this country.

Reptiles Had Chino Like Humans.

Oddly enough, and for some reason
quite unexplained, the nearest resem.
blance to the human chin is found in
some of the most ancient reptiles yet
discovered-strange and primitive
creatures whose remains have been
unearthed on the shores Of the north
ern Dwins. It is not to be imagined
that they could talk, for they had NO
brains to speak of. Their chins, which
are strikingly humanlike, must have
been meant by nature for some entire
~ different purpose.

and me and to our hospital, a friend who fell on his post of duty, carried away by one of the accidents which, however vigilant we try to be in pre- venting them, sonnet get the best of us. I refer to Dr.. w. w. Bracket a valuable member of the hospital staff, who died last April at the height of his activities, and I am sure that you ladies who all knew him so well will long cherish his memory and remember his kindness, his cheer full and smiling cOuntenance, his en- ccuraging words and also his ability as a teacher both in the lecture room as we'll as in the operating room and at the bedside.'
 "The trained nurse of today" re continued, lis as different from the nurse of fifty or sixty years ago as a modern hospital differs from hos pital in the pre-antiseptic era. We of today are hardly able even to imagine the conditions of the hospital in the days before aseptic surgery. Picture to yourself the rooms or wards filled with foul odors from supporating wounds or hospital gangrene, the latter practically unknown today; the operating room, where the surgeons operated expecting to have infection in nearly every wound, where an in cision into the abd ominal cavity was undertaken only as a last resort and generally meant a fatal outcome. And can you further imagine a hospital without trained nurses when such a simple thing as temperature taking had to be done by the' physicians themselves for lack of skilled help and where the ward attendants were of the lowest class some of them ad- dicted to strong drink and without the least sympathies with the suffer- CTS entrusted to their care"
 Dr FrOmen then described modern conditions and told of the usefulness of the trained nurse not only in the home, but also in the study of differ cnt diseases, her assistance to the physician in the study of the different phenomena in the course of a disease.

 Marriage Market Demand.
 "The training school" he explained in conclusion, "is not alone a school for professional work, but also a school for home work.

 I have known and esteemed Mrs. Maud Pennington and her family for many years.
 Mrs. Pennington was as a girl, pupil of mine for some years and took a course of lessons under my direction in preparation for the associate diplo- mas both in singing and pianoforte playing-musical theory and har- mony. She was always in great re- quest as a soloist.
 In addition to her musical ability she possesses social gifts of a high order. She has a winning power of giving clear and lucid exposition, a good knowledge of human nature especially child-nature-and has had considerable experience. All this, of course, adds to her competency, efh- ciency apd worth as a teacher. D. ! She is thoroughly reliable and will, am sure, win the regard and confi- dence of those with whom she has to deal. - -.' ~ '~
