ENJOY SINGING IN CHORUS
Why Children Shot.d Be Encouraged to Take Part in Exercises of
 Juvenile GIee Clubs.

Anyone who has watched a class of schoolchildren singing their sorgs to- gether, or the members of juvenile glee club raising their voices in mel ody, knows to how great an extent chil- dren enjoy expressing themselves mu- sically. It is perhaps one of the few times when they begin to get an ap- preciation of what concerted action means in creating strength and power both for the individual as well as the group. You seldom get child to stand up and sing alone, but place him among large group of children and note the change in him-the change in his expression, his bearing and his whole attitude.
 It is therefore a caase for much en- couragement to hear the news that peo- pie are growing interested i'll commu- nifty choruses for children. The move ment for grownups has become vide spread and it's good results have been appreciated by all who have taken an active part in it. The question natur- ally arises, then, why wait until per- son is grown up before you let him take part in that which undeniably is beneficial to him? Why not give the child an opportunity to musically ex- press himself before he has grown too self-conscious to do it freely?

PRETTY LEGEND OF NIAGARA OLDEST LOVE LETTER FOUND
How the Great Lakes Joined in Their Wondrous Leap Over the Fa-
 nous Ridge.

In old, old times, on the highest peak of great mountain, there dwelt hunter and his five sparkling daugh- ters. Their lodge was of bright betula bark and on clear days they could sec the distant ocean flashing like a silver band. "Come out Come outr cried the youngest daughter. the little Er. Come Sui Come Hull Come Mi Come Cla! (The names stand in order for Erie, Superior, Huron, Michigan and St. Clair). Let us away to the sea, where the foaming breakers roar" So they left their lodge and leaped and sang with happy hearts. Their robes were of blue and chrysolite green and floated on the breeze. Their moccasins were of frozen water drops and their wings of painted wind. And they scam- rered and romped across the plain or fioated beneath the sky, or rushed past valley and hill and field, singing and shouting with glee. At last they came to a precipice of jagged rocks and moss. "Alas !" cried Er, "what a dread ful leap! But we have come so far that we must go on or our father will laugh at us! So come Su Come Hull Come Mi Come Ola and follow mel" So over the steep they sprang and floated down on their painted wings. They leaped and they sang like happy hearted birds. Then the little Er cried: "Let us up and down the steep again!' And up and down the five maids skipped and laughed at the sport and foam and called it Niagara Falls. And today, through the rainbow mist, you may see their robes of blue and chryso- lite green and their painted wings and their twinkling feet as the five play in the aterfall.-New York Evening Post.

Burglars Dread a Noise.

''Noise is the greatest enemy of the burglar and is what he most fears. Bear that in mind if you believe thief has entered your home"
 So says Frank McCarrick, lieuten- ant in Manhattan's downtown detec- tive headquarters, whose long years in the police department give weight to his statements.
 s9The best of alarms in household he continued, lis glass or chinaware pitcher or similar vessel. Slam it through the window and it's crash above will be followed by another as the missile falls to the street or the areaway below.

Froos That Have Hair.

"Finer than frog hair" has long been slang method of expressing the su- perlative degree. Doubtless no one ever gave it thought whether frogs have hair or not. Probably no one ever realized they did until Prof. C.. A. Boulenger discovered in the Ger man Congo frogs that had growing upon their bodies either hair or very good imitation of 1t. It has since de- veIoped that anatomically 1t is not hair, in the sense in which that term applies to mammals. Our own hair Is akin to finger nails; it is a horny growth, whereas the "hair" on the African frogs is an abnormal devel- opment of the tubercles that appear on the skin of the ordinary frog. The ordinary person, however, who places appearance above origin, will doubtless call 1t "hair."

Rescuirq Fish.

The rescue of fish is one of the ac- tivities of the bureau of fisheries. It is an important work, but the nature and importance of it are little under stood by persons outside of the regions in which it is carried on. While the bureau conserves fish, propagates and distributes fish and labors to educate mankind on the subject of fish, it also rescues fish. In times of flood, when streams and rivers swell beyond their banks and overflow wide stretches of land, myriads of valuable food fish are carried along with the water. The flood passes. the rivers subside into their normal courses and the fish are left inland to perish as the flood-water evaporates or seeps into the land. Gangs of men under the guidance of the fisheries bureau gather the fish from these overflow lakes, which are often of great extent, and cast them loose in the streams or rivers.

Etinuetfe in Mexico.

TraveIeTs through rtesFii iiese--r repart many peculiar customs which reflect the temperament of the people. Some of these are founded upon supersti- tions hundreds of years old while oth- CTS date from more recent days. There is 8 prevailing belief in the country that there is bad luck in q sequence of threes and wherever possible the combination of three is avoided. This is shown very often to persons strange to the land in the lighting of cig- arctic.
 In the United States one often sees three men light their pill from one match. It would be a gross insult in Mexico to offer man light from match that had already started two cigarettes going. Instead one must blow out the match and give him a light from the ignited coffin nail.

IDEAS HARD TO ERADICATE
Erroneous Geographical Notions That Have Firm Hold on the Minds
 of Most People.

It Is curious to note with what per sistency people will adhere to current ideas without ever thinking that these ideas do not, under all circumstances, denote one and the same thing. As a matter of fact, the maximum heat is ''between" North and South-viz, along the equator, and it is as cold at the the words North and Soeth are as rela- tive terms as East and West, and do not, to everyone, convey tine same idea.
 To make this clear, let us suppose that A stands at the North Pole and, from which he came, feels the wind blowing in his face. He would, of course, claim that this wind was south erly, and nobody would dare contradict him, for does not the wind come from Norway, which is south from the Pole ? His companion, B, however, who stands a little distance further off, let us say 50 steps beyond the Pole, on the hemisphere on which America is situ- ated, will just as emphatically assert that this wind is northern, as it blows from the North Pole, and the snow flakes it carries after having passed the polar point no longer are directed toward the North, but the South. There is no use disputing both are right and, although separated by few steps only that which to A is north is to B south.

Somewhat Expensive Error.

A large steamer was once wrecked because one of the sailors was named West.
 The vessel was outward bound from Rotterdam, and the sailor was on deck polishing some brasswork. Suddenly the captain called him, and told him to go below. The second officer on the bridge heard the captain call out the mans name, and thought 1t was m order to change the course of the ves- sel to the west. He did so. and the result was that the vessel ran onto dangerous shoal. That name cost the owners of the vessel the sum of $5OO,- GOO.

Yiddish.

YiddiSh Is a utafect spoken by the Jews of central Europe, consisting of corrupted Hebrew with large admix- ture of German. It has been carried by immigrants to Great Britain and this continent, and is now of practical ly worldwide use. The old Hebrew Uncial, or Capital, letters are made to give way to a cursive or script letter in writing; and regular written lan- guage, and even a literature has come into being. But for religious usage the ancient Hebraic form and words. em- ployed in the written Toraa or Law IS strictly adhered to, and, it will be found as rule that even those who use Yiddish commonly. have also a familiarity with the ancient language of their race.

Modern Scientist Declares It to Have Been Written About the Time
 of Abraham.

The oldest love letter in the world has been found-and read by eyes for which it never was intended. Dr. stephen Herbert Langdon, Museum of Art and Sciences, University of Penn sylvania, was the man to find this billet doux, written on a tablet of clay about the time of Abraham. He also has brought to life what is said to be the oldest map in existence, drawn about 1900 B. c. or another tablet of clay.
 Here is the letter, which, sad to re- late, is partly selfish:
 "To Kaka and Mirslia say:
 "Thus saith Sin-magir.
 May the Sun-dog give you good health.
 "How is this business?
 "For whole month you have not sent anybody to ask about my welfare. "Now I direct Shamashepiri unto you.
 | "Send me 30 pints of barley meal and ten pints of bean -four.
 T am in trouble.
 'G1ye quickly.
 "What you send deduct from your tithes. "As to the rest, send it according to future instruction"
 Evidently the writer was fond of both Kaka and Mirslia, two sisters. All though the letter could scarcely be called affectionate, as the present gen eration understands the word, it's translator assures us that it is a bona fide cross-your-heart love letter. The map found by Doctor Langdon was of Babylonian origin and indicates a supposedly suburban district joined together by canals.-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
