HOROSCOPE.
Wednesday, May Is, 1918.

The Sun rules strongly for good to-
day, according to astrology. while
Saturn, Mars and Mercury are ad-
verse.
There is a sign read as encouraging
for all who WELD authority, whether
civil or military.
President Wilson comes under a rule
making for gain in fame and success
in war policies, but he should safe
guard his health and his person.
Under this sway conditions are aus
picious for those. who seek positions or
help from men in places Of the Sun.
Political appointments made during
this configuration are believed to he
fortunate.
Saturn is in an aspect read as
menacing to the Germans.
The uncovering of plots and the ar
rest of spies are foreshadowed The
death penalty will be exacted in a
case of peculiar charcter.
This is not an auspicious planetary
government under which to sign pa
pers or to make contracts.
Again the passing of old customs as
well as old celebrities is prognosri-
Gated. In the new era only the young
may hope to gain high place after the
war.
Schools and colleges have the best
possible direction under this configura-
ton, which indicates that the summer
will be a time for general social sery-
ice on the part of both sexes.
Turkey continues under a sinister in
fluence that will affect the government
seriously.
Increase of crime in the United
States is foretold and women and chill
dren will be oftenest the victims.
Protection for girls in cities of the
South and West will be much dis
cussed within short time.
Improvement in the shipping situa-
ton should be steady from this date
on, IL the stars are read Alright.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of a successful year, but
they should be discreet in dealing with
those of opposite sex.
Children born on this day may be
strong-wiIled and difficult to manage.
They are likely to he unsettled in dis
position and win succeed best when
under direction.

GERALDINE FARRAR
ENTRANCES HEARERS
Concert Of Favonte American
Singer Proves Triumph.

Geraldine Farrar. premier So
prano of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, returned to Washington
yesterday on one OF her rare pro-
fessional visits and entranced a
capacity audience at the New Ma
tional Theater with a recital as
unique as it was delightful.
Always surprising and sometimes
verging on sensational, Miss Farrar
revealed herself as Of old. the Amer
ican girl who has SCARED to the top
of the operatic ladder. and who is
as well loved by the American pub
lie for her beauty and her impulsive,
virile personality as for her charm
of voice.
Instead OF the conventional con-
cert setting, Miss Farrar offered a
marvellous curtain OF rich coloringl
showing a brown ape beneath a
pink parasol on top Of q green gar
den wall and beneath q summer
blue sky, gazing at a white stat
uette. Before her entranace. the
piano was covered with a mass OF
flowers. tributes to her genius. and
as she entered the audience was
applauding.
Final Number Triumph.
, Her triumph of the afternoon was
supposed to be the final number
the aria, "Un bel d." from. Puc-
cinfs "Madama Butterfly" but
while she sang this well she did not
attain the height that thrilled her
audience when she sang "Lamour
est un oiseau." from Carmen" This
song Miss Farrar acted. using a
large black feather fan with telling
effect, and as the saying is used
"the house went wild"
She opened with group OF
French songs, "LeMariage des
Roses" Cesar Franck); San Toi.'
(dHarde1ot); "Bonjour. Suzon." De-
libes); "Si Jetais jardinier" (Cha-
minade), and "Ouvre tes yeux
bleus" (Massenet). She was recall
ed twice, scang an encore and was
recalled again before the applause
subsided.

Peonies should be cut when the

Why HEART E. BEAT After DEATH

-HE question, When does a
man or an animal die?" has
= been answered when the heart
stops beating" But any hunter or
fisherman who has dressed his own
catch can testify to the fact that the
heart does not stop beating at the
moment OF the animals death. Often
It will continue to pulsate rhythmical-
~ for several minutes after 1t has
been removed from the carcass.
Sciences answer TO the ''why?' Of
this is that the heart muscles them
selves possess the inherent quality
of contraction and will contract, or
beat, Just as soon as or as long as
the conditions OF environment are
right. That is their business and
they can no more refrain from doing
1t under the right conditions than a
rose could help giving out its fra
GRANGE.
In recent experiments it has been
found that heat is the principal ele-
uent necessary to the development
OF heart muscles and their subse-
Quent action.

w RITING legibly on fast
w moving train is difficult to
a person unaccustomed to it.
The railroad conductor knows the
trick of it and manages to get along
quite satisfactorily. He prefers to
write in standing position and
holds his right elbow firmly against
his side. The reason for this is that
in sitting posture there is too much
lateral movement in the trunk OF the
body, while in a standing position
this is more easily controlled.
When the arm swings freely, as in
ordinary writing, several joints OF
the body are affected in the process,
each of which is capable Of it's own
motion. Holding the elbow against
ones ribs breaks these motion ten
denotes, except that of the wrist.
which movement is necessary in writ.
ing. and thus the pencil, or pen. is
more easily controlled.
The same principles modified ap.
ply in using a typewriter on a NOV
ing train. Many travelling men, news
correspondents and others, carry por.
table typewriters and do much oil
their writing while travelling on
trains, not to mention the various
railroad and government men who
travel in office cars and necessarily

IF cut flowers are squeezed into
a vase so tightly that the air is
excluded they will be smothered
TO death. That is the reason why
many bouquets do not last as long as
they should. A wide.mouthed vase
is the best kind to use because 1t ad-
mits oxygen in plenty.
Tall. slender vases are very at
tractive for long stemmed flowers
like carnations, but they have one
fault-the water in them becomes
warm very quickly, and this warmth
is transmitted to the flowers, caus-
ing them to wilt. The water In vases
of this kind should be changed twice
q day.
Most flowers last longer II half an
inch is cut from the stems every day.
This cutting should always be done
with a sharp knife. It is well enough
to use scissors in the garden for con-
venience. but they have tendency

reducing the amount Of water which
can be taken up. A diagonal cut
with a knife has just the opposite
effect. 1t Is especially important to
have a slanting cut If the stems are
