his par. for the high ideals represented
by the Beethoven Association to make
his reentry in the United States as an
ensemble player. and only four days be-
fore his first recital. If there were
nothing else for which to praise him.
this alone would be to his honor.
But it can be added with much graft

votion and with an artistic submergence

all three Of the performers revealed nne
Skill IN chamber music performance. and
the audience, which filled the house, was
moved to prolonged applause.
The music. Of course. earned some
measure of this appreciation, for. al
though tolerably familiar to all music
lovers, II brought with it the perennial
freshness of mastorworks. The Brahms
trio as indicated in enumeration of the
compositions on the program. was given
in the revised edition of 1891. The
original form was published in 1854.

both lambs he would have received
5000. The ewes wool brought s1.50.
The experiment taught the farmer
that sheep raising can be made to pay.
In addition the soil was enriched so
that it produced twenty-five pounds Of
clover to the square rod and almost
enough feed to winter the sheep pas
tured there. Now compare those weedy
pastures with those rich fields and you
will see that the experiment has worked
well.
Ask any Scotch farmer or any Eng
lish farmer and he will tell you sheep
have been the foundation Of the most
up-to-date farming. The stockade, the
inner wall, is a worth while experiment.
All of US cannot manage sheep. but

plenty of all wool clothing and a leg

has been for years an excellent po-

Serbians and Rumanians. which
found an expression before the world
war in league uniting them with
consideration there enters a very
human element. The Serbs marry
early, usually before twenty-their
priests must be wed before they can
have a parochial charge-and 1t was
matter of deep concern to them
that their King should reach the ad-
vanced age of thirty-three without
Queen to preside in the royal Konak
at Belgrade.
Their ruling house, too, is getting
on socially, for this matrimonial
alliance will bring it into relation
ship with the reigning dynasties of
Europe, thing almost unthought of
twenty years ago. Scarcely more
than a century ago the Karageorge-
vitchs were peasant farmers and
Vienna at the least suggestion of a
marriage with them or their rival
house. the Obrenovitchs, would in
dignantly cry that IAN alliance be-
tween the descendants Of swineherds
and the ladies of royal or noble
houses was impossible" And il must
be acknowledged that ALEXANDER. the
last of the Obrenovitchs. and GEORGE,
the eldest Of old King PETERS sons,
were difficult personagee for royal
matchmakers to advance socially.
Then came the years when most OF
Europe. looking upon the throne Of
King PETER as stained with the blood
OF his predecessor. refused TO have
either diplomatic or social relations
with Belgrade.
But with the appearance of young

was received by the Russian Czar at
Petrograd and it was reported that
his suit for the hand OF the second
Romanoff Grand Duchess would hive

At any rate the war put an end 10

he was reported engaged to a Bour-

Plumbing a Schoolboy'. Brain.

Behold how far that little candle
throws its beams! But perhaps it
would be better to substitute an elec-
trio light for the candle in this figure
OF sleech meant to indicate how far
an example may influence others in
asmuch as the reference is to MT.
EpIsoNs questionnaire as measure
of knowledge. The beams from his
QUESTIONABLE seem to have been
thrown across the Atlantic, and to
have inspired somebody in England
to attempt to plumb the depths OF
what every schoolboy should know.
Whatever the object of the Eng
lish questionnaire may be, whether to
create merriment for the holiday sea-
son or to obtain a few more brick
bats to throw at present educational
systems, we learn from the London
Times that a general knowledge
paper has been set as task for
schoolboys. That 1t Is task which
would puzzle many Of their elders
will be made evident by glance at
the variety and number of things
about which schoolboys are asked 10
write down something" Here is the
list Of subjects:
The Old Lady OF Threadneedle
street, A spoonerism. A Bushman's
| holiday, Lords railway clearing
house, A faculty. Green room. Irish
bull, L'etat, c'est moi; A carpet bag
ger. A buhl cabinet. The Renaissance.
"Who goes homer. Sussex hammer
pond, Morton's fork, Contango day.
The London Charivari, Pandora's
box, Leading question. County bor-
ough, A cock and bull story. Grin
ming Gibbons. The paschal limits,
| CLEopAT1A's Needle, The silver grey
hound. Drawing the long bow, A
transformer, The Cheshire cheese,
Bonded stores. Greats, Bayeux tapes
| try, The writing on the wall, Elgin
| marbles, lie Roy lie vcult, A provided
school, Ancient lights, Block system.
The civil list. A short circuit, excali-
| bur; Tenpenny nail.f Lynch law, a
sponger. Outside the pale, Neck and
| crop. The fourth estate, Hobson's
| choice. Funny bone, Parliamentary
g train. Brilllg. Mothering Sunday.
Plinlsolrs line. Swan upping. Swan
| song. Power OF attorney, Cornucopia,
Sheffield plate. Sliding scale. Dutch
auction. 80 u. p. Whipping boy,
Dead mans handle. Black rod,
Wayzgoose.
These are things which, as Lord
MAcAULAY was wont to say, every
schoolboy knows. Quite probably
MAcAuLAY as schoolboy did know
such things. But the average school
boy is not Macaulay and probably
would have considerable difficulty in
writing down something about most
of these turnstiles along the way OF
knowledge he is painfully travelling
Nevertheless we would hazard the
guess that were he and his respected
father both required to sit down at
once and write something about each
of these topics the fathers paper
would probably be quite as amusing
to most intelligent readers as that
of the son.

Publicity for the Fox Tormentor.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Too much
publicity cannot be given in the case of
the man who liberated the fox on Fifth

the Society for Prevention OF Cruelty

the man was brought 60 justice.

the same day Of the week, and SO on.
Other dates may easily be deduced with
a little practice.

begin and end on the same day of the
