Not Enough Amateurs.

Speaking recently in London, LORD
de Walden expressed some views
anent the musical amateur. He held
that the sad thing about the amateur
was that there vas not enough of him,
that he should be IS per cent of the
population and it did not matter how
badly he played. The worse he played
the more modest he was likely to be.
From bad amateurs was drawn the
audience who listened to good pro
fessionals. The ordinary taste of the
amateur was just as likely to be good
as bad, it depended upon what he vas
first offered. Cultured taste was real
ly the only bad taste in England and
he would rather trust the ordinary
crossing-sweeper for an appreciation
of music than the gentleman who had
come from a public school. Lord de
Walden also insisted that 1t was OBJ.
tious that the English were must.
.al as that the French were not. and
claimed that larger audiences Of anna
teurs would result If all concerts In
England did not take place practical
~ In one plot In the west end of
London where there were 1000 times
too many concerts for the ground on
which they were given.

zENsHIP in NORTH DAKOTA.

That the boys and girls Of today,
who ara to be the men and women OF

good eitizenship, not only in their v
communities but throughout the world,
10 shown by the 47,762 members en-
rolled in the 1,0O6 Junior auxiliaries q
the American Red Cross In this state.
juniors have proved their value to
the community In numerous ways here
In North Dakota. They have been
especially helpful In assisting children
from families unable to provide medt
cal care and treatment. In Dickinson,
the Juniors paid the expenses Of a
little crippled girl In the Michael
Bowling School for Crippled Children,
In Minneapolis. In addition, they
wrote, sent her small gifts, and helped
to keep her from becoming h0mosick.
In Grafton an auto was provided
for the school nurse from Junior
funds, thus enabling her to carry on
more work, and reach every part Of
the county. The salary Of the school
nurse has been met by Juniors in sew
eral other places. Classes in Home
Hygiene and Care Of the Sick and
First Aid e r financed In Lisbon.
To continue this work and In.

Greatest Fiddle Market.

London Is the greatest fiddle market
in the world, and it is said that there
r more Cremona violins and violins
Of famous makers of Italy, France and
Germany In that city than in any other
in the world. The London auction
sales Of violips are famous throughout
Europe. Entire collections Of fine vio-
Inns and other stringed instruments are
constantly coming under the hammer
through the death Of their owners or
through other causes. A violin, al
though made by one Of the great
ters and really very valuable, Is often
vary hard to sell at short notice, and
these auction sales offer a convenient
and ever ready market for turning
such an instrument into cash. For this
ceason Violins are sent from all over
europe to London to be sold.
The yioIins cum be examined at the
auction rooms a certain number of
days before the sale and when the sale
day arrives are knocked down to the
highest bidder for cash. -

White Eeathers.

No white pigments have been found
in feathers, and the wilderness Of
white feathers is ascribed to total re-
Fiction of light from their exposed
surfaces. Some have supposed the re-
Election to be from air spaces, or bub-
bles, in the feather structure, but one
authority contends that the white eff
feet is mainly dependent, as in the
case OF snow or powdered glass, upon
the small size Of the structural ele-
ments. These have a large number Of
surfaces so placed for any position Of
the eye that there is a maximum re-
fection to the eye, and almost no abb

the scientists. In that year Henry
Cayendish, teacher Of chemistry, dis.
covered that 1t really consisted Of a
number Of gases that had been chilled
into liquid form. 4
It remained for the French savant
Lavoisier to bring about, in 1888. the
decomposition of water into oxygen
and hydrogen, and seven years later
two other Britons improved on this
method. They YER Nicholson and

WOMEN HAVE EIGHT STAGES
etatistician Tells OF Feminine Views
and Acts at the Various Periods
OF Their Lives.

Shakespeare divided the life of man
into several stages-babyhood, boy
hood, youth, maturity and old age
but a woman has gone the immortal
WILLIAM several better. She distributes
the life Of oma among eight
periods.
Here they are: B%abyhood, child
aood, girlhood, self-supporting days,
fife In earnest. housekeeping or home
making, doWngrade and widowhood or
dependence. The divisions are not
automatically precise, but they
square fairly well with the typical
lie OF average women.
The woman carries babyhood and
childhood to the age Of fifteen char
lcterizes the three years following as
.arefree time ees her sisters as
workers between eighteen and twenty
four; says that from t~wenty-fOur to
shirty-five life is earnest; states that
IS Of every 100 women between thir-
sy-iye and forty-fve are bearing and
Wearing children; finds only IA of the
100 at work yet between torty-five and
ifty-fye; reports 81 widows between
Mty-fye and %sixty-fye; after the lat.
:.er date ~ are dead, 80 widowed and
working for nominal wages.
III isn't a cheering picture. From
fifteen TO eighteen there may be fun,
..rivolity and beaus, 50 that IL OF 100
girls marry then; but between eight
zen and twenty-four there come to be
81 more wives and 80 more wagework-
an. Seventy-nine Of the one hum
1red are wives at thirty-hye, SO at
sorty-fve. The advice that the sta
;istician draws from her facts and fg-
ares ii that girls should plan their
IVES ahead. This. however, Is more
easily said than done. Cupid has 4

Four Major Crimes in ENGLAND.

tour MAJOR NrimeS IN England.
In England there are four crimes
punishable by death-setting fire to
the royal dockyards or ~nrsenals, piracy
with violence, treason and murder,
Death was in former fines, In Eng
land, the ordinary punishment for all
feIOnies. Blackstone refers to 100 Of
lenses as punishable by death, some Of
them Of a nature which appears
trivial. For instance. a man who cut
down q tree or impersonated a Green
wich rensioner generally paid the life
penalty. Due to the exertiOns of Sir
Samuel Romilly. this sever criminal
code gave way towards the end Of
the reign of George III to more hu;
name conceptions. Since the statute
of 1861 there have remained only the
four crimes punishable by DEATH T
