Salzburg lies on both sides of the
Salzach river, hemmed in on either
bend by precipitous mountains. A
large fortress overlooks it on the
south, from the summit OF a perpen-
dicular rock, against which the houses
In that part Of the city are built.
The streets are narrow and crooked,
but the newer part contains many open
squares adorned with handsome foun-
tains. The variety Of costume among
the people is very interesting. The in
habitants Of the salt district have a
peculiar dressj the women wear round
fur caps, with little wings Of gauge
at the side. l saw other women with
headdresses Of gold or silver flligree,
something In shape like a Roman he'll
met, with projection at the back of
the head, foot long.
The most interesting objects in Salz-
burg to us were the house of Mozart,
In which the composer was born, and
the monument lately erected to him.

But at Least She Had Done Her Best
to Master That Memory
Lesson.

Little Dorothy, who is eight years
old, dearly loves her school and teach
er, and when at home talks a good
deal of the work in the classrooms.
"Lots Of the boys and girls hate quo
tatlons,' but like 1t awf'ly," she once
said. "And what do you mean by quo
tationsr" asked an inquisitive elder.
"Why, don't you known It's something
the teacher tells us on Monday, and
we have to remember 1t all the week /;
then on Friday we go to the platform
and say it," "Oh, well, make believe
this is Friday, and do 1t for US now r.
Charmed, Dorothy rose, mounted an
imaginary platform, gripped her little
dress, gave serious curtsey, and said,
with perfect distinctness, "Susie Adam
forgets Susie Adam" "What If she
does? Give us the quotation" THAT'S
the quotation !" what Say it again.
"Susie Adam forgets Susie ADAM" re
peated Dorothy. Neither questioning
nor expostulation availed against this
statement concerning Susie. and not
until the teacher herself was inter
viewed was the mystery solved. The
quotation was Enthusiasm begets en-
thusiasm !"

Brass Best ALLOW

Brass is perhaps the best-known
and most useful alloy 1t is formed by
fusing together copper and zinc. Diff
ferent proportions of these metals
produce brasses possessing very
marked distinctive properties. The
portions Of the different ingredients
are seldom precisely alike; these de-
pend upon the requirements of various
uses for which the alloys are intended.
Peculiar qualities Of the constituent
metals also exercise influence on the
results.

before they went, and Stanley taking
lantern, in case the moon should be
hidden by one of the clouds that were
rising In the misty sky.
The fact was that for several weeks
now there had been thieving going on.
There were some water lily roots
which Stanley had been cultivating-
in fact, he had been the first to es-
tablish them in this climate-that had
been stolen from a stretch of marsh
land that was a part of his land. AL
ways the theft took place on Saturday
night. His man had tried to discover
the thief, and then for week Tom
had patrolled the marshes. but he felt
that as the theft had taken place on
the three preceding Saturdays he
would have better success If he sought
the thief on that night.
"We must walk up through this
thicket first" said Fay when they
started out. "I'll tell you now it is a
beautiful surprise. You told me you
would like 1t If studied up on water
lilies. Well, have been doing 1t, and

Look Over Your Bills.

Now that somebody has taken the
trouble to count them, it appears that
there are in circulation In the currency
of the United States five varieties Of
the 81 note, FIVE different 50 bills, six
IS bills, seven $40 bills, seven 500 bills,
six $50 bills, six 800 bills and four
$500 bills. Comparatively few citizens,
to be sure, have the opportunity to
study the differences between $500
bills, but it illustrates the matter-of-
courseness with which currency is
handled that many will probably be
surprised to know that the lower de-
nominations are printed in so many
styles. Nor does 1t often occur to any
body to realize that he carries in his
pocketbook some fine and interesting
examples Of the art of engraving.

Great American Historian.

Prescott, the historian, was born at
Salem, Mass. When Prescott entered
the field of world history America had
yet to make her mark in that line.
Her historians had been initiative of

Prescott's work was accorded i'm

There is no advantage gained by
keeping three or four breeds of beef
cattle in the same community, except
the satisfaction of personal prefer
ences, but there are many advantages
to be derived from keeping one and
the same breed In the same commu-

Probably the most important reason
why the same breed of cattle should be

Chaucer

HIS best tales run on like one Of our
inland rivers, sometimes Fastening a
little and turning upon themselves In
eddies that dimple without retarding
the current; sometimes lettering
smoothly, while here and there quiet
thought, a tender feeling, a pleasant
image. a golden-hearted verse, opens
quietly like water-lily, to float on the
surface without breaking it into rip
pie. He prattles inadvertently away.
and all the while. like the princess in
the story, lets fall a pearl at every
other word. If character may
be OWNED from works, he was a good
man. genial. sincere, hearty. temperate
of mind, thoroughly humane.
and friendly with God and man.

Dead Sea is Alive.

The Dead sea isn't really dead.
after all. Ancient writers established
a myth that 1t was an abode Of death,
that nothing could live on Its shores,
and even the birds flying over 1t would
drop dead.
But all this has been disproved by
a well-known scientist, DR.. e. w. G.
Masterman. He says that 1t Is true
that nothing can flourish where the
waters are deepest because of the
salt, but near the shores, where the
water is brackish. small fish. crabs,
etc., are found.
A few years ago crowd Of tour
lists saw fish swimming about in the
sea and they signed declaration to
this effect. And at many spots along
the shore acres of reeds and trees
flourish, and In these places animal
and bird life is abundant.

COMMUNITY BREEDING

Community breeding simply
means that the farmers in a GER
tain community agree to do two
things:
First. to breed but one breed
Of cattle, sheep and hogs.
Second, they agree to use none
but purebred sires, these sires be-
ing owned either individually or
collectively.
Everyone is absolutely free to
do as he pleases just SO long as
he sticks to one class of stock and
uses a purebred sire. These
ideas can best be carried out if
the farmers are organized in a
body and get together at stated
periods.
