A c..r;n,,s Ran Cana

Theodore Roosevelt, writing in ScrIb- ner's of his Brazilian journeys, de- scribes curious game of ball played by the Parcels Indians, in which the head alone is used.
 There are, of course,'' he writes, mo such rules as in a game among civi- 1ized men, and I saw no disputes. There may be eight or ten or many more players on each side. The ball is never touched with hands or feet or with anything except the top of the head. It is hard to decide whether to wonder most at the strength and dex- terity with which it is hit or butted with the head as 1t comes down through the air or at the reckless speed and skill with which the players throw themselves headIong on the ground to return the ball if it comes low down.
 'sWhy do they not grind off their noses cannot imagine. Some of the players scarcely ever failed to catch and return the ball if it came in their neighborhood and with such a vigorous toss of the head that it often few in a great curve for really astonishing dis tance,'

Madaqasear.

ORVILLE HAROLD

To possess the highest tenor vofce in the world Is the Fare distinction of Orvil1e Harold, the celebfated Aneri- can tenor, who will be heard in this city 1ra concert at the Park theatre, Sunday, May IA. Soprano voices that are capable of attaining the hfgb F, in a1tissin1o are also of the rare va rtety, but a male voice that can neeo- tiate that same difficult note is heard possibly but once in century. If fs this most unusual compass of his vocal powers that constitute one of the chief features of HarroId's voice.
 Since the time of great Mario who in his generation was regarded as the supreme tenor of the world, there has not been a male singer except liar rold, who has been able to sing the E in altissinno. In fact, it is so sell dom included in the range of the tenor voice that composers rarely use 1t in their scores Occasionally a high D may be included in a comnosi- ton but even that note is a rarity. Tn the case of Harold, the singer ire quent1y throws it in flor good meas ure,' as it were. and electrifies his audiences with the clarity and per lection of his tones.
 There is not a tenor before the pub- lie at the present time who is apabIe of singing this sensational note a. C but HarroId's top note is two full tones higher. The great Canpanfnf some times sang high D but not ire QuentIy and he was never sure of his voice in that altitude. BrignoIi, the idol of opera goers of thirty years ago, never sang higher than a c, while Jean de Reszke, who for years was the yreigning sensation at the Metro po1itan Opera House, is said not to have been able to intone higher than a high B fiat. These artists were all of foreign birth and it is a matter of pride that the tenor with the highest notes is an American.
 Harold does not depend on his high notes alone for effect. His singing is characterized by a smooth polished technique that is displayed to the best advantage in lyric vocalism. He is unquestionab1y the greatest American tenor not only of this but of past years.

Clever Rsaaonina.

Rather an original lesson in political economy was that once taught by the Japanese nobleman Awoto and thus translated by Sir Edwin Arnold in Seas and Lands:''
 One evening as he was going to the palace to take his turn in keeping the night watch he let 10 cash drop out of his finder case into the stream and then bought 50 cash worth of torches to search for the lost coin. His friends laughed at him for spending so much in order to recover so little, and he re- plied with a frown:
 "Strs, you are foolish and ignorant of economics. Had I not sought for these 10 cash they would have been lost for ever-sunk in the bottom of the Nam erigawa. The 50 cash which have expended on torches will remain in the hands of the tradesman. Whether he las them or I is no matter, but not a
 ;ngIe one Of the sixty has been lost,
 q that is q clear gain to the country"

NEW ENCLAN GO.
 BREAKS RECORDS
 IN REALTY SALES
Nearly One Thousand Lots Sold in One Week in No.
 Bridgeport.

The New England Development Co. which opened in this city a, few weeks ago to develop properties in and around Bridgeport, purchased from Fl. B. Seeley three tracts of land com prising about 80 acres and containing in the neighborhood of 300 lots. At the time the purchase was made, these developers. who have had over 25 years experience in various cities around New York believed in the fu- ture of Bridgeport and in its wonder ful activity. They realized the rent payers in this city, who are in the great majority, were very desir1ous to secure homes if some proposition could be presented to theTn by which they could be induced to locate. This com pany proceeded in a generous manner. believing in printers ink as the best possible method of enIisting the wage earner and rent payer in a campaign to secure homes for them in and around Bridgeport.
 The New England Deve Iopment GO. started in to develop territory which had been utilized for farm land for years past and which had been over looked by the real estate investors of the city of Bridgeport. Their exten- sive advertising in all of the Bridge port papers in the last ten days, and the circulating of 50,O00 manuscripts reaching the homes of the working class. has brought about this most wonderful sale, one of the greatest to be recorded in the real estate history of the New England states. They have now purchased the Voight farm on the Trumbul1 road, containing about 50 acres .and the balance Of the Seeley estate, adjoining the railroad and Beardsley park, containing 25s acres, and 9 tract of land belonging to H. B. See1ey on Reservoir avenue, containing 20 acres, aggregating near ly 100 acres for development.
 These properties ara to be placed on
 the market immediately, represent ing over 1000 lots to be sold on the same easy payment system as the for ner properties. Sylvan Park, Highland Park and Fairlawn Gardens. These investors have the greatest confidence and belief in the future of North Bridgeport, and they realize if the Remington people will spend g 800. .oo0 in building up their local ty for homes for their own people it means that every S1,000 expended there will event ually enhance the value of the r5rop- erty in the vicinity of where the New England Development company has invested
