Little Frederick Chopin.

Frederick Francis Chopin was a
bright, happy, little lad, overlooking
with fun and spirits, but, while still
mere baby, if he heard music, every
thing else was forgotten, and he would
listen eagerly, his brown eyes slow,
Milling with tears, not of unhappiness
but of pleasure so exquisite that there
seemed no other way of expressing it
Almost as soon as he could walk
he would climb up on a stool before
the piano and try to make music f,
himself. His parents seemed to take
1t as a matter Of course that their so,
should inherit their own love o.
music, and one Of the best masters in
Warsaw was engaged to give hin
piano lessons, which he shared W.
his older sister.
Little Frederick not only made sur
prising progress, leaving his clever
sister far behind, but soon the t.
hands sought and found lovely new
melodies and chords, and he woul,
beg his teacher to write them q
for him. AS he grew older, he would
make up stories on the piano." as
he called it. All his life, even after
his fame became worldwide, he exer.
cised his wonderful gift of improy.
1sing, and many who were privileged
TO hear him have said that, beautiful
as his written music is, only
who sat near him n the Wight a7-
listened in rapt silence to the d.:
sounds which the slender fingers
sent pulsating through the stiffness
knew the greatness of his genius.-St
Nicholas.

The Fearful Pilot.

Captain Robert Faulkner, a COM
mander in the navy during the Rev
olutlonary War, was a man of unusua,
courage. During an encounter close
under the walls of Fort Royal he
noticed that the pilot did not seem TO
be himself. The man, he though.
seemed to hesitate when he gave his
orders. In Famous Fighters of the
Fleet" MI Fraser gives the story:
Captain Faulkner turned aside TO
one of his officers.
Il think Mr.. Dash seems confused,
as he doesn't know what he is about.
Has he been in action before? ?"
MANY times, SIR" was the reply.
lie has been twenty-four years ir
the service"
But Faulkner was not satisfied. He
eyed the pilot closely, and then STEP
ping up to him, asked him a trifling
question. The pilots agitation was
such as to render him incapable of a
reply. Recovering himself to some
extent a moment later, the wretched
man, keeping his eyes on the deck, in
low voice addressed Faulkner, who
was bending over him, with this
startling admission:
II see your honor knows me. am
unit to guide her. don't know VIVA,
is come over me. dreamt last nigh,
| should be killed, and | am so afraid
| don't know what | am about. new.

Without for an instant losing his
presence OF mind, Captain Faulkner
replied to the man in a still lower
tone:

The poor fellow, panic stricken
went away, and overcome with shame
sat down upon the armchest, while
Captain Faulkner seized the helm
ana with his own hand laid the Zehr,
close to the walls of the fort; bur ne.

Opals From Trees.

Opals that grow on trees-or trees
that turn into opals-form one of the
latest and most interesting exhibits
OF the American Museum of Natura
History. The opal, as a gem, was
comparatively little used at one time
but il has been growing in popularit,
during the last fifteen or twenty years
There are not so many people who
now hesitate to wear it because it has
been considered unlucky.
II is the birth stone of October
lucky for any one born in that month
For the October baby "they" say
LAY an opal on her breast and it vii
sooth her cares to rest" The Joy o.
owning one Of the beautiful e'o-
has driven away dull care from man,
people not OF October birth. Now IN
Museum is showing the opal in tree
masses and it is so beautiful that it
popularity will be further increased.
1t cannot be exactly said that opals
grow on trees and one cannot recon-
mend growing forest of opal tire,
with view to opening a jewelry
store. Actually the opals are the
trees which have become opal fossils
II is a slow process growing opals il
this way and could not be recon-
mended to the ordinary horticulturist
or mineralogist. The Museum tree
opals were grown in Humboldt coun.
ty, Nevada, good many thousand
years ago, in the days when the great
mastodon and the savage sabre-tooth.
ed tiger wandered through forests
Then there came great earthquake
and physical upheavings which up
rooted mammoth trees and turned
rocky mountains into swamps. That
was when the opals got their start.
The trees, many feet below the
water, became water-logged snags.
This swamp water had been changed
by volcanic action and was heavily
charged with a solution of silica
which changed the nature of the wood
soaking in it while preserving the
structure and changed it not to the
ordinary fossil but into wonderful
opals. Some are only semi-opals, but
others are the most beautiful of gems
wonderful in brilliancy and beauty
The Museum shows the opal in its
process of development up 70 its COM
pletion, in great sheels of opal, lakes
OF it, flashing brilliant tones of red,
orange, blue and green, with dark
specimens carrying what look to be
volcanic fires in growing orange-reds.

The Census.

During the last month, as everv-
one is now aware, enumerators have
been engaged in learning the names
and ages of all the people in the
United States and various other facts
about them. The work is only one
branch of an undertaking that is re-
peated once every ten years, but ours
is the only country that for so long
time has taken a census with such
regularity. The Constitution requires
that the population of every State be
ascertained once in a decade, in or
der to determine the proper allotment
to the States of representatives in
Congress; for the United States alone
among the nations periodically re-
vises the apportonment strictly re-
ing to population
The first census, which was taken
in 1870, showed a population of only
5's2s,214. There was only fourteen
States. The census of 1920 will un-
douotedly show that thirty-seven of
the forty-eight States have each
greater population than Virginia, then
the largest of the States, had in 1890.
Only five will have less than Penn
sylvania then had, and PENNSYLVANIA
stood next to Virginia.
Besides the statistics of popua-
non, the census will present facts
both general and detailed relating 10
manufactures, agriculture, transporta-
ton, occupation and many other sub
)ects that will make it possible to
compare the progress of the last ten
years with that of prvous ten-year
periods. From them we can discov.
er where is our national strength and
where the weaknesses are.
The most important lessons fo, the
guidance Of business men and states
men are to be derived from complete
ana accurate statistics. That is the
best OF reasons why everyone who is
required by the law to answer oues-
tons within his knowledge should
cneerfuily and carefully respond.
When all the answers have been COM
oined and tabulated, the result, IL

Red Cross To Send Pictures of Graves

''Se >Aooo ~ Heho HiStueS Oh GfaveS
After months of preliminary work
the American Red Cross is now en-.
gagged in fulfilling last obligation tc
the American fighting men who fell
in the world war and to their fam lies
To the relatives of each man whose
body now rests overseas, as far as
humanity possible, there is being SEM
a photograph of the grave of their
soldier boy as keepsake of him and
enduring memento of his great part
in the struggle for liberty.
Ever since casualties among the
American forces began to occur Red
Cross photographers working with
the Graves Registration Service of the
army have been Systematically
making individual photographs OF
every identified grave. The photo
graphs have now been assembled a.
national headquarters of the Red
Cross where the Department Of Com
munication staff is painstakingly
checking them over and forwarding
them, inclosed in suitable covers bear
ing inscriptions of the name, rank, or
ganization and resting place of the
soldier, to the next of kin, according
to the fastest information in the DOS
session of the War Department.
From beginning to end the Red
Cross is working entirely under the
supervision of and according to the
regulations of the Graves Reeistra.
ton Service and every possible pre-
caution is being taken by both the ar
my and the Red Cross to insure the
$4,000 photographs reaching the fami-
lies OF those to whom they mean so
much. Accordingly neither time nor
expense is being spared to discharge
completely this obligation the Red
Cross undertook for the soldiers and
their loved ones.
Three copies of each photograph
are be forwarded to the next of kin
as designated in the best available
army records. No applications by
the family for these photographs is
necessary and they cannot be pur-
chased. 1t is suggested that when ad
ditional copies are desired by the fam
lily or for friends the recipients of the
originals have the extra copies made
by local photographer.
The Red Cross has no share in the
registering of care of the graves or
the final disposition of the remains of
soldiers. All questions bearing on
these matters should be addressed to
