FRAGRANT Perm.


Some say It has the fragrancy Of new
mown hay. It reminds others Of fresh
strawberries. There are also those
who detect 1t In the perfume Of the
wild rose. Opinions dflfer as to what
the fragrance resembles, but all opin-
ions are unanimous In praising it. so
they call 1t the fragrant fern.
It grows in small, round clumps in
clefts on the face Of precipice, out Of
reach of collectors, who haven't the
patience to hunt for It. For this rea-
son it Is not well known. Its out Of
the way haun6 provide an efectual
hiding place.
The hardness of the fragrant fern
surprises the amateur collector. 1t
grows In full glare Of the sun; In
places where more common ferns
would be scorched and withered. Yet
the fronds remain green throughout
the year, and even the year-old fronds,
which turn brown at the end Of the
season, curl up around the roots OF
the plant and cling to the rocks.-Phil-
adelphia North American.

Dust Dangers.

An analysis Of the contents Of Q
vacuum cleaner made recently showed
that the dust which had collected on
the bookshelves In q library consisted
Of chair, green wool, white wool, cot
ton fibers, celluloid, pieces Of finger
nails, fly wings, sand grains, wood, pa.
per, string, metallic iron and leather.
The hair was probably derived from
soft hats, the wool and cotton fbers
from clothing, sand from the mud
tracked In on shoes and the gradual
pulverizing Of the floor, fly wings from
dead flies and paper from book leaves"
Curiously enough, very few germs
were found In this dust Yet there is
no question that inhaling it might lead
to various diseased conditions. This
would not be the result Of any disease
germs contained In the dust itself, but
to the irritating effects produced by
the dust particles when brought into
contact with the bronchial membranes.
Thus It Is evident that even germ free
dust may be harmful when inhaled

Rattlina Windows.

In some houses the windows have an
unpleasant habit Of rattling at all times
of the day and night when there Is the
least wind. In such case an ordinary
clothespin Is most effective. 1t must be
split In half and one half inserted on
each side between the framework and
the window or between the sashes. A
good plan Is to paint the clothespeg the
same color as the window frame and
secure the pieces by cord and screw
to the frame 80 that they win be In
readiness when needed.

Glass is becoming more generally
used as a building material each year.
For some years glass bricks have been
utilized where strength and durability
as well as beauty were essential fea-
lures. Glass Is used for wainscoting,
for partitions, for ceilings and for fac
ing the fronts Of buildings. 1t Is also
being used for foundations.
It has been demonstrated that the
crushing strength Of glass Is three
times that Of granite, six times that OF
ordinary brick and ten times that OF
concrete. Another advantage 1t has
over these materials Is that 1t Is abso-
lutely nonabsorbent, so that q glass
building can be perfectly dry inside, no
matter what the atmospheric condi-
lions outside.-Atlanta Journal.

Fish Versus Mosquitoes.

Myriads Of mosquitoes used to tnfest
the rice plantations Of Madagascar.
Dr.. Legendre, a savant well known In
scientific circles In Paris, conceived
the idea Of freeing the region Of mala-
rial trouble by the Introduction into
the watercourses Of cyprin, or red fish,
which are very fond Of both mosqut
toes and their eggs. Within five months
500 fish multiplied to 10000. and these
destroyed nearly all the mosquitoes.
The fish besides being a malaria de-
stroyer became very important as an
addition to native food.-London Tele.

A Few Records.

The big infielder has more than hi.
share of records. He has played II
more games, scored more runs, made
more hits and stolen more bases thar
any other ball player who ever lived
In addition to this he holds the
games record of II successive years a,
800 or above-the 800 span extending
unbroken from 1897 to 1914.
Dan Brouthers batted 800 or better
II years in succession; Keller, 10; An
son. T.; Ed Delehanty, Nap La oie and
Joe Kelly, IL each. Ty Cobb has also
bat y @Te 300 the last II years,
with some distance yet to go-hat with
seven 300 Years ahead before he passes
John Henry Waener's mighty mark.
Cobb now holds the major league
record for nine successive Years of
batting leadership and he hopes to
move along and add Waeners record
to his credit-but at thirty seven wears
above 300 is no light task even for a
Cobb to face.
There have been many thousands of
major league ball players. but Wagner
Is the only one who has ever known
such a batting sran.

1.-THE Dino OF PARAoisE."

The role Of -Luana. the Hawaiian
Princess. in Richard Walton Tully's
drama. 1.-The Bird Of Paradise" which
comes to the Missoula theater next
Tuesday evening. .is being played this
season by Miss Oiin Field. a young
actress whose work has caused east
ern critics to predict for her sure fame
in her profession. y
The role of Luana has come to be
regarded in the profession as a mas
cot play. for it already projected into
celebrity the ,five4other actresses who
preceded Miss Field in the character.
Probably the most famous of this five
is Laurette Taylor. who after playing
Luana in New York for a season, was
elevated to stardom by Oliver Moros-
co. the producer of 1.-THE Bird of Para
disc" who presented Miss Taylor in
Peg o My Heart"
In the person of Miss Field. Mr..
Morosco believes he has made another
big stage discovery. "A year ago while
she was playing the role of the vam-
pire in "A Fool There Was" the play
based upon Kiplins.s noted poem, re-
ports Of her talents and ability were
brought into the Morosco offices They
were sufficiently glowing to prompt
Mr. Morosco to make special trip to
an obscure one-n night stand town in
Pennsylvania to pass Judgment for
himself upon the young acrtess' abil-
ity. He was SO impressed with her
performance that he sought an inter-
view with her that very night.
Through the courtesy Of the company
: manager he was taken back on the
stage and introduced. standing in one
of the entrances Mr.. Morosco came to
the point at once making business
proposal for the following season.
Miss Field assented and tentative
contract was hastily drawn up on the
back of a theater program and signed
then and there by the terms Of which
Miss Field agreed to play under Mr..
Morosco's direction for the next two
seasons.
To judge from the critical opinions
passed upon Miss Fields work as the
heroine in Tully's most successful play,
Miss Field has far from disappointed

As a Sportsman.

Wagner has been something NOR,
than great ball player No game has
ever known finer sportsman.
We know of one instance where he
Goa ched a basketball team and refused
to accept any pay for his work. This,
he said, lis my recreation-not my
profession"
a year ago he collaborated with a
Pittsburgh writer for series OF
articles all under Wagner's name.
When the check came Hans turned
over the entire amount to the base
ball writer who had been the victim
of a severe illness
Money was never a part of his god.
He got his living from the game but
he played it still more for the love OF
ii.
We know on two occasions where
Pennsylvania voters urged him to run
for congress. ON each occasion he re-
fused. The certainty of election would
not have tempted him. II would have
to quit baseball" he wrote. That was
enough to end the debate

Wagner's Reign.

A number of words have been spilled
around John Henry Wagner before. We
would esteem it considerable bliss tc
have a dollar for every word that has
been written about him these last
twenty odd years. After buying out
the Standard Oil. the Steel Corporation
and settling the war debt of Europe
we would only have a few millions left
But there is always room for few
more words where praise of John
Henry Wagner is involved.
ghtyshouldered. bull throated
lion hearted, ow-leeged. linked to-
numbering grace that covered ground
with amazing swiftness, Wagner 41as
long been an institution and an in
spiration.
He has been thrice blessed-blessed
with a Batting Eye incarnate-blessed
with pair of hands that might have
relieved Atlas-and blessed again with
love for, and a loyalty to. the game
that has never been equalled.
In his 20 years of major league base
bali, he has served but one flag-that
first lifted by Barney Dreyfus oven
Louisville and later transferred to
Pittsburgh where Wagner has spent
the greater part of his baseball life.
So he has been one of the few re-
naming links between baseball and
sentiment, proof that there is still
something more to the game than the
gate receipts.

An innovation in the methods Of
conducting the national game which
may result in the revolutionizing of
the present system of baseball as
played by the individual leagues. will
be tried by the American association
and the international league this sum-
mer. After leagues have completed
abbreviated schedules. the eight teams
Of the American association will meet
the eight teams of the international
league in 4S-game series 1t is ex-
pccted that the heaus Of the two or
gantzations will complete an inter-
league some time this week
a number of schemes to revive the
interest in baseball during August and
september by playing inter-league
series of games have been suggested
but the meeting of the two class AA
leagues next fall will be the first at
tempt to follow the plan. 1t is said
that the major leagues have contem-
plated arranging inter- league games
several times. but no action has been
taken as yet. However the big boys
will watch the IA interleaeue series
very closely, and if it Is a success il
is certain that the American and Ma
tional leagues will also fall in line and
arrange their schedules for coming
years in such a way as to allow all
the teams in each league to play every
team in the other major circuit
Some years ago the split season
was originated in order to prevent the
collapsing of public interest during the
latter months of the race when the
teams have dropped into their respec-
tive positions. with little chance of "a
change. The split season generally
ends about the Fourth of July and
then the teams start off IA new race
with each team having an equal
chance. AT the end of the season, I'M
less one team wins both races which
is an infreouent occurrence. the two
flag winners meet in n series to de-
eide the league championship.
