CURIOUS THEFTS.
Troasures That Were PurIoined by Dis
 honest London Servants.

Tr@aSures hat were Purloine0 by Dt@-
 honest London Servants.
 In an article on the dishonesty of servants who have long served in old houses the London News cites the case of an aged woman who died in a sub urb of London twenty years ago, She had been continuously ill service in a great family for half a century and had appropriated all kinds of property, among which was a picture which was recovered by the heir of the house and sold to America for $15O,0OO.
 The News asks: How is it to be ac- counted for that fine Rubens should be found decorating the trim 'parlor' of a farmhouse in Lincolnshire cur tains embroidered by Mary, queen of Scots, a tiny cottage in Norfolk and a marqueterie bureau from the collec- tion at Windsor castle an obscure will lage in Shropshire?
 "That bundle of linen, each piece of which is marked with the monogram of Charles l.. was disposed of some few years ago at a local sale in the west of England is less difficult to ex- plain-CrOmwell, together with mem bers of his family, frequently visited the house from which the sheets came, and possibly brought them from one of the royal palaces. But that IliShOn- est servants should be able to purlOin such treasures without detection is truly marvellous"

FLUTES or GOLD.

They Have Sweeter Tones Than Those
 Made of Any Other Material
 By some pretty experiments with organ pipes of different materials Dr. Dayton ClareIpce Miller, professor of physics ill the Case S, hOol of Applied Science, Cleveland, O., has proved thai the quality of tone in wind instrU ment depends upon its material far more than is generally believed. Writ ing of flutes ill his book. The Science of Musical Sounds" he says:
 "The traditional influence of differ ent metals on the flute tone is con sistent with the experimental results obtained from the organ pipe. Brass and German silver are usually hard, stiff and thick and have but little in auence upon the air column, and the tone is said to be hard and trumpet like. Silver is dense and softer and adds to the mellOwness of the tone.
 "The much greater softness and density of gold add still more to the soft massiveness of the walls, giving an effect like the organ pipe surround ed by water. Elaborate analyses of the tones from flutes of wood, glass, silver and gold prove that the tone from the gold flute is mellower and richer, having a longer and louder se ries of partials than flutes of other ma terialS."

OUR FIRST COLLEGE.
Harvard Had Nine Men In It's Original Class of Graduates.

Harvard Had Nine Men In It's Original
 Class of Graduates.
 The first commencement of Harvard college, the first of the educational in stitutions of the United States, was held Aug. 9, 1642. Nine young men comprised the first class of graduates. In 1636 the general court of Massachu- setts agreed to, give f4OO toward a schoale or colledge" and the next year ordered that the institution be estab- lished at "NewetOwne."
 In 1888 John Harvard, a preacher, died and bequeathed about $70O to the college to be built at NewtOwn. In his honor the institution was named liar yard college while the name of the town was changed to Cambridge in honor of the great English university.
 It is doubtful if the original grant of 94O0 was ever actually paid, and in any event the college project remained in abeyance until the beQuest of Harvard at once initiated the necessary meas ureS.
 The original fund was added to in various ways, and much money was raised by lotteries. Henry Dunster, a Hebrew scholar. was chosen first pres ident. and d class began a course of study in 1G3S. and nine graduated in 1642.-St Louis Post Dispatch.

Air Swallowing

HNHE air-swallowing habit is really back
i Of the gulping up that many people re-
sort to for the purpose OF relieving a dis
tressed stomach. The distress is usually a
symptom Of nervous dyspepsia or other di-
gestlve disturbance.
As DR.. Robert s. Carroll has recently
said: Those having this habit usually pro.
test with emphasis that they do not swallow
air that they are just relieving the stoma ch
Of gas, which forms In such quantities that
five to thirty minutes are spent after meals
getting rid Of It.
"Nine-tenths OF this so-called gas Is moth
ing but swallowed air. gulped down and
belched up a habit easily acquired by hu-
mans or horses and which In the quadruped
knocks n cool hundred of his value The
physician who attempts to assist his patient
In overcoming this miserable habit usually
meets with indignant protests. and with re-
sentiment In old offenders who have been
playing with their stomachs In this way
for ten or twenty years
Some air is always swallowed with food,
and In mixing in the stomach acid and
alkaline foods some gas will certainly be
formed. The amount Of this. however, Is
comparatively small. and will be spontan-
eously expelled. The habit Of churnlng hIr
In and out of the stomach is one which
proves inevitably damaging"
The best means of temporary relief is
to open the mouth wide and take deep
breaths. Also swallowing one or two glass
fuls OF hot water will be Of assistance.
The best cure. of course, is prevention
OF the disturbed digestion by eating only
those foods that digest readily. Abstemious
eating--abstemious, that Is to say, to the
point OF eating only what the system re-
quires. so that one leaves the table well
this side Of repletion--is essential. DO not
gulp down your food hurrledly

They brought you back to me.
You were a queer red crying one.
But dear as life to me-
Dear-but how new and strange!
You could not be my own!

But helplessly alone.
Alone she leaps to life.
How shall | understand"
And then they laid against my cheek
Your little curled dream-hand.
And oh. II was my hand.
My fingers, one hour old.
The crooked thumbs. the odd blunt tins
Turned frail as flowers to hold.

My echo And I knew
That all myself and all of life
Lay curled like flames IN you!
