WISHING AND GETTING.
An Old Mans Realized Day Dream and
the Moral it Teaches.

They had started in the most primi-
tive way, the man and his wife, back
in the little log house, but they were
dreaming of the day when they would
own farm of their own and not have
to work so hard. After n time their
hard toll was rewarded, and they own

to add to this tract, and they worked
little harder. A new house seemed a
necessary accompaniment to the large
furm, so the work could not stop.
A son came to the age when he must

life. and they toiled on. All the time
the old man dreamed of the days ahead
when he could stop work and take life
easy. Somehow the days did not come.
or he did not recognize them when
they came, for he kept on working un-
til he had grown old and worn. Then
his health failed, and he had to stop
work.
The son for whom they had given
precious years out Of their lives now
showed his gratitude by his gentle. I'M

all his sadness burst forth as he an

PRETTY ROUGH SPORT.
The Game of "the Bounding Brothers
of the Bosporus.'

Many extraordinary forms of amuse
ment have been devised by army Off
GERS from the earliest times down to
the present day, but none perhaps
have more startling characteristics
than the following new and original
game, which Sir Robert Baden-Powel
describes in Memories of India
1t was introduced into the mess by
n brother of our colonel, who came to
stay with him. We believed him to be
a quiet, harmless planter from Behar.
and so he seemed throughout the even
ing, both during and after dinner,
when he remained watching us play
ing the fool in various ways for our
own amusement But evidently our
ways did not strike him as original.
and he therefore invited us to play
the great game of the bounding broth
ers of the Bosporus, and when he had
once shown us we Joined most heart

The game had few rules, but a cer-

Valentine Theatre.
TOLEDO

The Valentine Theatre will have one
of its biggest engagements when
David Belasco presents David War
field at that playhouse on Friday and
Saturday evenings, April 2Ss and 20,
with Saturday matinee. On this oc-
casion Mr.. Warfield will appear in
David Belascos latest play, described
as dramatic reincarnation of the
Flying Dutchman legend, which i'm
mortal tale has inspired poets and
writers for ages. 1t is entitled evan
Der Decken," and takes it's name from
that of the captain of the spectral
ship which is supposed to haunt the
waters around the Cape of Good
Hope. He is doomed to sweep the
seas until the end of time, because in
trying to double the cape in the face
Of fearful storm he has defied God
and the elements. His appearance on
the horizon is taken as an omen of
disaster, and seamen quickly change
their course when this apparition is
sighted.
With this weird and mystic fable
as foundation, Mr.. Belasco is said
to have written very impressive
play, retelling the tale once again,
only in more beautiful, poetic and
dramatic manner than heretofore.
The. time is 100 years ago and the
scenes of the three acts represent
"The Three Gulls" on the wharves
Of North Sea port in Holland, Van
Der DICKENS cabin on board the Ba-
tavia, and cottage on the outskirts
of Amsterdam. Mr.. Warfeld's role
is a highly imaginative and romantic
one on which, in Mr.. Belasco's ver-
sion, is not without its touches of
symbolism. 1t is reported to be
worthy in every way to be classed
with the fest achievements of this
great artists entire career.
The engagement at the Valentine is
for two nights and Saturday matinee.

DELICATE MONSTERS.
How Warships Are Lined to Protect
Them From Fire and Water.


Although it may look very strong,
battleship is really very delicate mon
ster. Its vital parts have to be pro-
tected by several coverings of mate
rial chiefly obtained from cocoanuts.
This is to prevent certain portions be-
coming either too cold or too hot. For
Instance, it will be seen that the re-
suits would be exciting il the powder
magazines became overheated.
A dreadnaught is entirely clothed in
a suit of underwear to protect 1t from
fire and water. The actual construc-
ton of the material is secret, but it
is known to be for the most part cellu-
lose, which is obtained from the fibrous
rind of the cocoanut
Cellulose swells when it touches salt
water. Therefore If hole should be
made in the ships side. say. by shot
this cellulose expands and covers the
opening. so preventing an inrush Of
water. The cellulose is also treated to
make it fireproof.
Mineral wool is material used upon
the latest type of battleship. 1t looks
like wool, but is really composed Of
snowy threads of a sort of glass. The
men who pack mineral wool have to
wear masks to prevent the needlelike
particles from being inhaled. 1t is a
remarkable nonconductor of heat and
is used to cover the refrigerators and
cold storage chambers and also the ex-
plosive stores.
The boilers and steam pipes of a
dreadnaught have Jackets" in order to
prevent waste ,of fuel. Sometimes
these jackets are of mineral wool,
sometimes wool and sometimes ordi-

Mario of a Century.

An examination of American citieo a

In 1900 not New York, but Philadel-
phia, was our largest city-a pre-emi-
nence it held until 1880. After Phila-
delphia, New York. Baltimore and Bos-
ton, Charleston, S. c., was the largest
American city. But l defy any one to
give the name of the sixth largest
American town in 1900. 1t was North
ern Liberties. How many Americans
today ever heard of this metropolis

it is now part of Philadelphia. After

Knew Just How.

Many years ago in Paris, at the first
presentation of tragedy that had for
its closing scene the murder of Swed-
ish king which had taken place nearly
half a century earlier, all went well
till the murder scene came on, when q
very dignified old gentleman in the
stage box called out angrily:
absurd. They've got it all wrong"
The manager himself heard this plain
spoken comment, and, being naturally
disturbed by so sweeping a condemna-
tion, he sought out the critic and po-
htely begged to know what fault he
had to find with it.
"Why, my good sir cried the old
man, with an air of authority, 1.-THE
whole grouping of the scene is incor-
rect! You. have made them kill the
king to the right of the door, whereas
we murdered him on the left"

At One Time to sneeze Was Regarded
as a Death Warrant.


Sneezing from very remote times has
been regarded with superstition.
Our forefathers went to bed again
if they sneezcd while putting on their
shoes. A sneczc to the right was
deemed lucky; to the eft, of esil por-
tent TO sneeze near n burial place
was very unlucky.
Tradition has it that sneezing was Mt
first fatal sign-cvery human being
sneezed but ONO and then died-but
Jacob petitioned the Creator to re-
move the sneezing ban and succeeded.
Thence esose the once universal Gus
tom of saIdt.ng Il sneeZer with God
blesr -n',S' III "NTay you live longw
The custom still obtains in some parts
of Eufopa.
In England not only was a sneczer
blessed, but friends raised their hats
to him as well. In an old book, "Tne
Code of Conduct" it is directed that
"if his lordship sneczes We are not to
bawl out, God bless your but bow to
him handsomely" All over the world
the sneeZe was recognized. Whole ma
tions were under orders to make eX-
carnations when their king sneczed.
Sneezing was believed to be>a sure
cure for hiccough and was also looked
upon as sign of sanity. If ancient
and universal belief goes for anything
it is good to snecze - London Tele-

WHEN WORK BECOMES PLAY.
Tho Secret of Contentnent Is Found
In Proper Emp oyment.

Tho Secret of Contentnent Is Found
In Proper Employment.
A philosopher once said that mo
man properly employed was ever mis-
erable." And more truthful state
ment was never made
To be properly employed one must
be engaged in business in which he
has faith and confidence and for which
he has respect. If he doubts the legit-
imacy of the business, If he must re-
sort to practices which he feels are
questionable, if he isn't proud of his
occupation, he is not properly employ
ed. If the work he is given TO per-
form pals upon him, if he feels that
he ought to be doing something else, il
he envies the other employee his place
in the shop or factory. then the work
deadens and destroys, and misery fol-
lows.
The writers got things balled up
when they talked about work and
play. Too great distinction was
drawn. Play was pictured as some
thing that gave happiness and work as
something which one performed only
because he was hungry.
The truth is, 1t is all play or ought
to be, for the man who is properly en-
ployed is only engaged in playing. He
gets as much delight from it as he for
merly got from the childish games or
should. Certainly there can be no mis-
cry where a man has found his work.

Barbarous Tattooing.

Formerly the Marquesans had such a
barbarous manner of doing their tattoo
work that it often took nearly six
months to heal that which had been
done in single day. They covered the
whole body Of the males with crudely
initiated rough designs, circles, curves
and many designs of small work. in
cluding round and angular spots, even
to the finger nails and the top of the
head. Thus, beginning at virility,
some We're upward of thirty years old
before their tattooing was completed.
Marquesan tattooing was perhaps more
remarkable in appearance than that Of
any other primitive race.

First Test of the Air Pump.

The first public test of the air pump
was in 1854, by its inventor, Otto Won
Guericke, in the presence of Emperor
Ferdinand of Germany.
Guericke applied the carefully ground
edges OF metallic hemispheres, two feet
in diameter, to each other. After ex-
hausting the air by his apparatus he
attached fifteen horses to each hemi-
sphere. In vain did they attempt to
separate them because of the enor-
nous pressure of the atmosphere. The
experiment was great success.

VALE OF KASHMlR.
A Beautiful Spot With Record of
Natural CaIamities.

Beautiful and unfortunate is the
wonderful vale of Kashmir. lying high
among the Himalayas, ringed with gi-
gantic peaks. clothed in evergreen fir
and deodar the light green bed of Jeh-
lam strung across its dun breast like
jade necklace. blushing with the ghost
ly pink of peach and plum blossoms"
Kashmir has a persistent record Of
natural calamity. Jehlam overfows its
banks at intervals and sends destroy
ing floods that wipe out whole districts.
The giant peaks around the valley stir
now and again in their sleep of ages
and shake the flats with mighty earth
quakes. Famine and cholera kill more
than the river and the trembling noun
tains.
Fire frequently sweeps the fields and
cities. AS one looks up at the hills on
either side from the bed of Jehlam it is
seen that one slope is covered with
cool, dark forest, while the other grows
nothing but long grass. A spark in this
grass starts the blaze. Among the
Himalayas the air is biting cold and
the Kashmiri carries a little charcoal
brazier under his robe to warm his
body. These peripatetic furnaces start
many flame.
With a history dotted with such ca
lamitous landmarks the people of Kash-
mir have acquired a pessimistic ex-
preston and disposition. They are su-
perstltious, too, ascribing all manner of
miraculous attributes and fairy inhabit-
ants to the mountain springs.-Argo-
