Deuce Aids Musicians

We are told that the human wind
power is capable of a continued sound
emission over not more than three or
four bars of music. Yet many operas
have sustained passages of many
more bars. In order TO aid players
of wind instruments in the orchestras
or bands to overcome the difficulties
incident to playing such passages an
inventor has devised what Is known
as the "aerphor." The device consists
of a foot bellows, containing a water
chamber and electric light bulb, from
which the air, moistened and warmed
to the degree Of the human breath, Is
forced through n length Of rubber
tubing equipped with a stop valve 10
a %mouthpiece fitted into the corner OF
the mouth. AS the soft palate Of the
player Is automatically closed while
he plays, he receives the artificial cur
rent of air. which circles around in the
mouth and out through the lips TO the
mOuthpiece of the instrument. Not
only may he sustain the. tone Of the
instrument, hut he may perform the
most ornate Cadenza, while he breatles
through his nostrils independently. a.

Queer Pets of Poets;
Rossetti Liked Wombof

One Of the most romantic as well as
one of the greatest figures of Vic
,orian times was Dante Gabriel Ros-
setti, for he vas in the very front rank
both as a painter and a poet. But,
like many other men Of genius, he
had some peculiarities. among them
q love of strange pets, which he kept
mostly in his big garden behind No. l6
Cheyne Walk. .~
AT one time or another he possessed
a wombat. a woodchuck, an armadillo.
a racoon, Il kangaroo, a deer, a chame-
leon, a s~alamander and even a zebu,
the sacred cow of India.
The wombat vas probably the favor
ite and enjoyed most privileges, being
accustomed to sleep on the epergne
in the middle of the dinner table.
quite undisturbed by lights or conve
satiOn. On N occasion Ii took ad-
vantage Of an absorbing discussion to
help itself to expensive cigars. II
chewed up a boxfui!
Tennyson wrote several poems on
the owl. as other poets o on night
lngales and skylarks. One night, sit
ting at the attic window in his fathers
country rectory, he heard the, cry OF
a young owl. and initiated It so well
that the bird came to him. From that
moment II became a household pet.
Its fate was a sad one, however, for II
was drowned In a well.
The nearest and dearest pet Burns
ever possessed was a sheep, which he
called Maillie. He wrote two poems TO
Maillie after her death. The sheep
used to follow the poet everywhere,
and would run with the speed Of a
greyhound TO meet her master.
'Cowper's three hares, Puss, Tiny
and Bess, belong TO literature, for he
tells their story in his inimitable let

eleven years and eleven months, She

when she wanted to go for a walk.
Tiny was q bad-tempei ID little beast,

~tionate. The three enjoyed a nightly
romp on the poets parlor carpet

Bodied Hair Permanent Fad

Regardless of the dictates of fash

Has Purest Gold Coin

The three most common silver
standards are So, 900 and 925, the
latter called sterling silver. Our
country, France, Germany. Japan,
Russia, Sweden and others, use the
300 parts gold and l00-parts-copper
purity: while England, India, Portugal,
Brazil, Turkey and others issue their
gold coin upon the 22-carat basis (916
2-3 fne). Probably the purest coin OF
modern times is the Austrian gold
ducat which assays 9S6 fine. II is
generally accepted that a fineness of
from S35 to 925 Is best for coinage
purposes. With pure copper as alloy
ing element coins Of these pur.ties

Queer Facts About Dress

We still have buttons. but no but
tonIo!eS. ON the cuffs of overcoats.
They were originally introduced in
the Seventeenth century, when coat
cuffs were intended to turn back.
The stripes down the sides Of some
trousers are survival from the
time when breeches were made 50
close in fitting that they had to he
buttoned on. The buttons are Tor
gotten. the stripes alone rema n,
says Pearson's Weekly.
The swallow-ta coat is the de-
scendant OF that which was buttored
back to save the lining from getting
dirty BY rubbing against the hide Of
q horse
Side pockets on coats were the
outcom" Of the slash made to permit
the projection OF the sword handle.
The original reason for cutting
away the coat in front was to dis
play fine linen-the wearing of
which was n sign of wealth.
Stockings were once made from y
straight piece OF material. The
clocks down the sides are the sur
vival Oh the seam that made a fit
possible.
The leggings worn today are
direct descendants" Of the leather
stockings once worn by our an
cestors.
Buttons were at one time regarded
as ornaments. and many people, be-
cause Of this. refused TO wear any
buttons but those which were abso-
lutely necessary to keep their clothes
together.

bankers to bright and deserving
young men and young women who
wish to go to college to study agri.

"2. Promote in a rational and
conservative way the economic in,
crease in the productiveness Of the
soils OF the district so that a larg-
err unit of crop production may be
secured. Small unit Yields Of ne.

crate to large yields OF crops are
generally the cheapest. Larger
yields per acre coupled with re-
duction in the acreage, when adj
visable, should and usually will be
more profitable, and when han.
died properly will not lead to an
over-production. ,.
"3. Encouragement OF proper
