WITH ONE GREAT COMPOSER
Handel Belonged to No School, Yet
Had Style His Own-Scolded
Prince Of Wales When Late.

German by birth, an italian by SYM
pathy and training, an Englishman by
residence and conformity, Handel be-
longed to no school, yet had style
as Enthusiastically his own as had Dante
IN verse, Angelo in sculpture or
Raphael in painting.
Strong, egotistic, self-willed, the
great composer was generally cheer
full and good-tempered, but violent
when irritated, and indomitably proud
and independent.
One who knew him we'll relates that
when he was pleased with the way the
music was going at one Of his con-
certs, his enormous wig had always a
certain nod or vibration, and that at
the Carlton house concerts he would
swear angrily If the ladies in waiting
talked during the music-upon which
the princess would check them, say,
ing, Hush! Hush! Handel is angry"
He did not hesitate even to scold
the prince Of Wales for being late at
a concert and keeping all these poor
people (the performers) so long from
their scholars and other concerns"

FossiIIzed Bacteria.

Marvellous as were the discoveries
Of such prehistoric monsters as the
mammoth, the mastodon and the stego.
saurus, they are now eclipsed by re.
cent investigations which show the
most minute microbes and bacteria
in fossil form. The ancestors of our
modern infectious disease germs and
microbes have been found in fossils
of the earliest life On earth. Fossil
bacteria have been discovered in very
ancient limestones collected by DR..
Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, in Gallatin
county, Montana. The bacteria con.
sist of individual cells aud apparent
chains of cells which correspond in
their physical appearance with the
cells Of micrococci, a form of bacte-
ria of today. The world has believed
that bacteria were modern forms of
life, but now we are made to realize
that they existed in the dawn of world
history, many million years ago.

with it's statue to that Irish hero
on the top, closely resembles the
statue to the same naval hero in Traf-

the surrounding guard of lions. This
column is the pivot around which the
life Of Dublin srevolves, just as Char

vile street runs south, to the O'Connell
bridge, and continues across that
broad structure to the ample avenue
on the opposite bank of the river,
with the rounded facade and stately
line of columns of the old parliament
building on the right, and the solid,
classic mass of Trinity college on the
left.
How close the resemblance to the
London scene! Whitehall and Parlia-
ment street are readily recognized in
the breadth, style and direction Of
Sackville street and College green,
while the British house of parliament
is represented by Trinity and the gov
ernmental buildings of Downing street
by the stately old Irish parliament
house. Even London's statue Of the
duke of Cambridge, in the center of
the road to Westminster, finds its
counterpart in the midst of the road
way at the northern end Of the bridge
which bears his name. The Liffey
river asks but little exercise Of the
imagination to fancy it a shrunken
but not less worthy Thames; the arch
ing bridges remind one of their fell
lows that span the English stream;

heard the first performance in Amer
lea of new composition by one Of
great Italian, Busoni. 1t was played
by the composer and by the Philadel-
phia Symphony orchestra under, the
baton Of Leopold Stokowski, who de-
clared that this new work was possi.
bly, the most important step in musi-
cal development since Debussy first
began to break fresh paths in tcnal

success in Europe, is built entirely
upon American Indian rnelodies-not
imaginative inventions of the COM

whose authenticity can vouch, as I
myself wrote them down from the lips
of the Indians in the far West and
later gave them to Busoni at his re-

INCOME OF A STREET BEGGAR
Curious Resident on Opposite Side Of
Thoroughfare Places Contribu-
tions at $1,000 Yearly.

There was a certain Bartimeus who
was wont to take his seat at the side
of crowded city street, with a well
fed dog at the side sitting on a mat
provided by his master, to protect his
hinder-Quarters from the cold stone.
The dog held tin money box attached
to his collar. The man had few lead
pencils which he pretended were for
sale.
The man simply sat, and the money
rolled in. A curious resident on the
opposite side Of the street took lengthy
observations, and then drew up cal.
sulation based on the assumption that
one cent was given every time con:
tribution was made, though frequently
silver and sometimes quarter was
seen to descend into the tin, and tax.

number Of absences in a given time

lin, often referred to in disparaging
terms, is likely to prove an agreeable
surprise to the traveller. She has
slums, yes, some very squalid ones,
and they force themselves upon the
visitors notice as aggressively as the
slums of Edinburgh at the lower end
of High street. If one stays but a
day in Dublin one is likely to go away
with an unfavorable impression of the
place. If he stays while and allows
the early impressions to be effaced
and their place taken by pleasant
ones, he will judge the city more fair
Iy. If one were to stay year and
make some strong and certainly de-
lightful attachments, he is bound to
be sorry at the leave-taking and will
ever regard the city on the Liffey with
tender affection.
Homes Of the Irish Capital.
The homes of Dublin are its glory.
Go out Donnybrook way, or north in
the Phoenix park neighborhood, or
south to the region about Haro1d's
cross, and you will find street after
street of stately Queen Anne houses
that suggest for all the world the
Mayfair region of London; while the
modern villas that form a wider circle
about the city-charming cottages
with gardens, and ample homes Of
pretty design and having plots of
bright flowers in their front yards
recall the pleasant suburbs of the
progressive American cities of the
middle West. Then the public build
ings. Belfast's boast is it's city hall.
Once the stranger has his grip I'm
packed he is urged to go and see this
splendid structure. 1t is undeniably
fine. But one could almost wish that
the Belfast people had spread their
variegated marbles about the city
rather than concentrated all this ele-
gance on one spot. The city's bare,
cold churches might have been bright
ened, both arch1tecturally and in their
creeds, by an esthetic touch here and
there, while the public ibrary's brown
baroness would have been relieved
by. dash of the rich bright colors
which the city hall could readily have
spared.

note the explanation given by a we'll
known politician to an outlof-town
friend the other day, in a hotel lobby.
"Mr. Man goes home and announces
that he is going down town after sup
per to meet a friend. That's the ini-
tiative. The wife of the house says:
Are your in that ascending voice
which seems to walk over the. roof

| while the Dublin custom house, in
both form and situation, corresponds
in striking degree to st. Paups

Then there is Dublin castle, the seat
of the vice-regal government that
irks the nationalist spirit of Ireland,

it is today. st. James palace is cas-

This, then, is the way it appeals to
the sojourner-these rival, jealous
cities of whose people Belfast folk say
pharisaically that 'oil and water can
never mix" Dublin represents the
warm heart of a nation. Belfast is it's
hand-a dexterous pairs of hands, ii
you will. One hopes this "red hand
Of Ulster" will not again be bloody
hand. The chill winds that sweep
across Divis mountain and Cave hill

behind the northern city, are driv
ing stimulus to labor and the getting
of gain. The soft airs of the valley
of the Liffey, environed as it is
by the hazy mountains at little dis
tance to south and east, are relaxing
and tend to moderation.

Waste Mica Now Used.

Mica mining in the United States
began in 1903 with the opening of the
Ruggles mine, in Grafton county, New
Hampshire. Until mica mining began
in North Carolina, about 1867, New
Hampshire furnished the entire output
Of mica in the United States.
In 1914 North Carolina ranked first
in the value of its mica output, and
New Hampshire second.
Mica is still obtainable in consider
able quantities from the dumps of the
old mines in New Hampshire. at which
material for small sheets was thrown
away thirty or forty years ago.

Health.

There was a clerk who saw the men
Of his own age losing health year by
year through overwork, indoor seden-
tary life, and lack Of daily exercise.
He saw them growing yellow and fab
by and unfit, and the spectacle didn't
attract him. He decided that success
had better come late, or even not at
all, rather than at the price of ruined
body. Health became to him the
choicest of the mercies, the best of
life's comrades. After a youth of
weakness and fatigue, the man was
happy in finding that an hour of exer-
else day changed the aspect of the
outer world and removed him for all
time from the ranks Of the unfit
Golfers.

The police stationed themselves at

for the man to be brought up. The

thought himself of a means of escape.
With the help of some of his mates he
was put in a tram at the pit bottom
and carefully covered with old timber

cealed.
The tram was then sent to the sur
face and was taken right under the
eyes Of the police to the rubbish tip.

Making Uniforms Less Visible.
