UNEARTHLY WAS THIS MUSIC
German Publication Reprimanded by
Press Agent for Mlstranslation
Of Adjective Heavenly"

The censorship Of foreign language
publications by the post office depart
ment won't be at all offensive to one
of the musical comedies which re-
Gently opened in New York. And If
the censorship can extend to the
point of gathering altogether a certain
German periodical, then the press
agent will be even stronger for the
government.
His animosity dates back to the
hand-painted account of the opening
Of his play, which he wrote and sent
out some twelve hours before the cur
tain was raised on the premiere. How
ever, his description of the charms Of
the chorus, the plot, the scenery and
the personnel of the audience didn't
suffer on account Of anything like that.
On the question of the beauty Of the
music he was especially grandiloquent,
and when he called up the German edi-
torial offices the next morning he felt
that his grievance was just. But there
they told him he had used part of
his own copy, without changing q
single word, merely translating it into
German.
"Oh, you did I" raved the young press
agent, and his voice instinctively told
that he was tearing his hair. II wrote
that the music was heavenly-and your
blamed translation made it say that
the music was unearthly!"

WILL POWER AND INSOMNIA
Relaxation, Assisted by Beautiful and
Benevolent Thoughts, Cited as Sure
Cure for SIeeplessness.

A noted hygenist tells of man who
was on the borderland of neryo.s
breakdown and the joy of brain and
muscle was fast receding, notes the
Ohio State Journal. But he got well
and sound again by attending safely to
his relaxation. Insomnia was his
greatest trouble, and when he went to
bed it was to toss and bob around in
mind and body until he fell into
restless sleep. He cured this by re-
taxation. That is, by yielding his body
to the gentle pressure of bed and pill
low and not trying to hold himself up
by nervous exertion. 1t Is the old doc
trine of power through repOse, love-
Iy idea, but not always realiZable.
The trouble is one soon forgets the re-
taxation, and so tries to practice it
that he Is apt to fall into cOntOr-
ton.
The hygienist leaves out the main
idea. He resorts to the will power,
while the real secret Is resort to the
moral power, which means falling un-
der the sway of beautiful and" benev-
olent thoughts, and then the relaxa-
ton will take care of itself. One Of
these methods is to think of the peo-
pie you don't like, and then proceed
to love them all, and you will find the
pillow and the bed will render their
full service and sustain all your phys
ical and mental infirmities.

in a slip-shod, careless, ill-planned
manner.
When the patient is confined to her
bed n small table or bed tray may hold
her food comfortably and attractively.
A bedside table is not always pos
sessed, and the tray may be support
ed by boxes or books on each side OF
the patient whatever the table or tray
may be It should be covered with spot
less linen as fine as one can afford,
whatever one may be able to endure

it should never be required of one who

keen suffering of mind In one who Is
i'll, which would pass unnOticed by the
person in health. A person who Is
Ill is out of balance in mind and body,
and should be treated with every In
diligence.
Small amounts of food should al
ways be served to patient. 1t Is far
better for him to ask for more than
to be satisfied by the sight Of too
much. Hot things should be hot on
hot dishes, likewise cold foods should
be cold. 1t Is often problem to carry
tray from one end Of the house to
the other and keep the food hot, but
little thought will overcome the diff

Khartoum Rebuilt by British Leader
After IL Had Been Sacked by
DerVishes on Their Retreat.

A sentimental interest will always
attach to KhartOum, for 1t is Kitchen
er's city. He fought his way to 1t up
the Nile, to find the old town blasted,
sacked and destroyed by the dervishes,
writes a correspondent. He is said to
have drawn the plans for the new
Khartoum on the sand with his own
hand, and the engineers set to work
the same day to build 1t up. The
streets and squares are laid out In the
design of monster Union Jack.
All that was only in 1898, but the
new Khartoum is already n place Of
beauty and importance. There are
many groves of noble trees, a feature
only to be appreciated by the desert
dweller, for the dervishes were not
schOOled in the refinements of modern
warfare. They sacked the town on
their retreat, but they failed to girdle
the trees. They were only ignorant
savages and they did their best, but
thanks to their unfamiliarity with mod
ern methods, KhartOum has some beau.
tiful groves today. There are rose
gardens, too, that were planted by tn"
unfortunate Gordon himself.
The Blue Nile runs past the city (;
river gunboats helped Kitchener to en-
compass it's fall. The White Nile Is
only a few miles away. These two
great arteries of trade stretch their
way southwark into the unknown and
northward flows the united river to-
ward Cairo and the Mediterranean.
The trade of the town is augmented
by all manner Of parties from the saw
age interior, and about Khartoum are
native villagers built after the fashion
of all the tribes of the Sudan. The
people are drawn from all the ends Of
Africa, negroes and Arabs, and from
Europe and Asia come Syrlans, Greeks
and Copts. The upper classes are
Egyptians in commercial circles; in thu
political and administrative world thu
English, of course, are dominant. i

things like that. Wood, you know, and

The last word caught Mr.. Bryant's
ear.
Seems to me-" Huff went on, "the
choir boys need a place to dress In.
You couldn't ask them to put on their
surplices at home and walk over here"

ant said uncertainty. "But If you care
to look around"
"Never mind about me-" said Hun
largely. "I'll just glance over the place
myself. You'd better attend to that
fortune you took up in the collection
this morning."
"The assistant rector has taken
charge of that" Mr.. Bryant observed,
and after that for half an hour he
and Huff talked board floors, taxpayer
roofs and electric installation in the
temporary headquarters.
Hun made careful notes In his
pocket notebook. They included the
length and breadth Of a temporary
building, the residence Of the assist
ant rector, a stove in the temporary
structure for cold days, the amount
Of collection, and the time at which
evening service was over on Sun
day night.

PRAYER OF THE SUBURBANITE
Appeals to the Garden Pests to Leave
Him Only Something That He
May Call His Very Own.

Potato bugs, spare me, l beseech
thee, one potato plant. OF the many
long and beauteOus rows that greeted
mine eye but last week there remains
but one plant unscathed by thy ven
geance.
Blackbirds, leave me, I beg, one hill
of corn. OF four-score and ten leafy
hills which upturned their greenness
to the morning sun but six short days
ago one hill now remains ungathere0
by thee and thine.
Cut-worms, give me, ask it, but one
cabbage and one tomato plant for mine
very own. OF two-score and six Sc
lected plants which stood proudly In
mine garden on Monday last but one
of each remains to tell the tale Of thy
destruction.
Thou squash and melon bugs, list to
me in mine hour of sorrow. Give me
one melon and one squash plant.
These alone still stand unwrecked ~
thee in thy massacre.
Robins, hear my supplications. GIVE
me from mine strawberry patch OAe
box of strawberries for mine truly own
unmutllated by thy ravages.
Have pity on me, toiler, o pests
and leave me but an atom that l may
rave with those many others on the
joys of agriculture!- !-William Sanford
