to be up to normal. Right now the
grain in the greater part of the

benefited or much damaged by the
weather and the next two weeks will
mean thousands of dollars made or
lost by the farmers.

Oldest American City.

The first permanent European set
Element in the United States was
founded September s., 1865. Menendez
de Aviles had arrived on the coast of
Florida on st. Augnstine's day in that
year, and accordingly he gave the name
of that saint to the city he founded.
The founding was accompanied by
much pomp and display. Accompanied
by his chaplain, arrayed in rich sacer-
dotal robes, Menendez went ashore,
followed by numerous ecclesiastics and
gentlemen" while flags waved, can
nons roared, drums beat and trulnpets
sounded. Menendez planted the royal
standard in the sands, beside which
the chaplain placed the large cross n
had carried. With such conservation
Menendez laid the foundation OF thA
city of st. Augustine. Only a human
sacrifice was needed to give the city a
proper start, so the Spaniards sailed
forth and slew Jean Ribault and his
company of French Huguenots. ST
Augustine now has a population OF
about 5000 and is known chiefly az .
winter resort.

Nu44 N~emeeo,
Great Heat Loss on Ocean
Ships Is Held Unavoidable,

On all sea-going steamers the, steam
is condensed by sea water pumped
through the surface c~ondensers. This
circulating water is then discharged
overheard. In the process of conden-
sation the cooling water, taken in at
temperatures varying form 80 to SO
degrees Fahrenheit, according to eli
matte and other conditions, is raised to
temperatures varying from so to 12O
degrees and then discharged.
This great loss of heat is practically
unavoidable, says the Popular Science
Monthly. Even on comparatively small
steamers hundreds of tons of heated
water are pumped overheard daily.
This constitutes one of the greatest
heat losses in the operation of steam
machinery, although sometimes a por-
ton of the wal water is used for sefub-
bling decks and for bath water on pas
senger ships.

Nine. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC
Piano. Organ, String Instruments.

o
Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.

Havana's Orphans.

A whole series of romances could
be written round the strange little
opening in the wall below the iron
barred window through which infants
enter Havana's great orphan asylum at
La Benefcencia, says a writer in Wide
World Magazine. Parents, guardians,
and others DESTROYS of getting rid of
infants place them within the boxlike
compartment, which is really a stile.
They then give the stile a turn, which
has the effect of ringing a bell in the
building, announcing to the sister on
duty the advent of another little found.
ling. The identity of the person who
brings the child is never known, and
every infant deserted in this way Is
nourished and cared for by the kindly
sisters. Some of Havana's most pros
porous citizens were brought up in this
institution.
