Today an almost eyrie silence

much jolting and humping the trains

There was considerable difficulty

AImshouse Child Who
Won FAVOR of World

When Jenny Lind, the Swedish
Nightingale" was a child In Stock
holm she accompanied her granduoth.
er to an old women's home to which
poverty had consigned her; and at the
window Of the almshouse Jenny would
sit In. the sun and sing. Some one
heard the child and told of her sweet
voice, and before long she was en-
rolled as a pupil at the Royal opera
house, Stockholm, and trained at the
expense of the government
In her early twenties her tri-
umphs began. Europe contracted a
Jenny Lind madness. Her gentle
beauty, her exquisite voice, her
charming personality, her amazing
histrionlc ability, and above all, her
sincerity, her precious quality of con-
viction, set the world afire, and for
years she toured Europe and America
in one long pageant of trlumphs. 1t
was In America that she met a mu-
sician, Otto Goldschmdit, whom she
married.
At the zenith of her career, with
an adoring world at her feet, she de-
cided to give up all for home quiet
and peace. In 1S49 she made her last
appearance as an opera star. There
after she sang only in concerts and
oratorios. Following her marriage
she lived in England and gave up her
musical career. OF the S250,0O0 she
made on her American tour, she gave
$4,000 at once to charity. She lived
for 80 years after her retirement

Every Kind of Charm
Popular With Arabs

The Arablans are great believers
In charms TO ward of evils and to
bring them pleasures. The charm
writer sits In the public place and
draws charm pictures and inscrip-
lions upon long strip of paper which
is rolled up like tape measure and
sewed into a leather case. This they
wear on string round their necks. or.
II they are suffering from Illness they
tie the charm on the spot affected.
Children, camels and goats have charms
tied round their necks to protect them
from the evil eye and other malignant
influences. At the top of one Of these
charms was a mass of red ink from
which verse OF the Koran stood out
In white. Then followed words In
praise Of God and interspersed with
koranic verses. A little way down
were the seven cabaIistic signs which
appear on many Arabic charms.
The first Of these is Solomon's ring |;
the others are inexplicable even
among the Arabs. Presumably they
are ancient relics the significance Of
which Is forgotten.

Minds of OrientGls
Impressed by Pomp

There is reason for the elaborate
camps Of India and the reason is
this: The maharajas, the rajas and
the nawabs are luxury loving. Al
ways they are hemmed about with
pomp and circumstance. Wherever
they go, they travel royalty. In the
old days, before the British govern
ment built railroads In India, high
caste travel was a matter of gorgeous
pilgrimage. Even when bent on sport,
elaborate caravans numbered slowly
into the jungle and there was much
regal display. Simplicity is not an
oriental trait Now the British sahib
Is the representative Of England In
India, and in a land where the out
ward trappings are a sign Of a mans
caste the eastern viewpoint must be
considered. A white man, a sahib
who travels or camps without ret
inue Of ample import, loses caste. He
cannot be a pukka sahib. The Indian
does not respect him and he will be
served poorly, II at all. Hence the
prestige Of the white man suffers.
Therefore Indian camps have come
to mean for the British sahib-and
very particularly for high government
oficials-elaborat affairs Of every
comfort. / knew this was to be u
pukka show. and was all agog with
curiosity and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Conflicts Staged Plays

Though the first regular theater
in Sydney, N. s. w, was Levey's
Theater Royal, opened by Barnet
Levey, a hotel keeper, back of his
public house on October 5, 1888, some
performances were given In build
ing erected on Church hill, erected
at a cost of $500 as early as 1898.
These earlier performances were
staged by convicts who were warned
that any improperly in the show
would cause them to be banished to
the outlying settlements. That warn
ing apparently was needed, but 1t was
discovered that the homes Of people
who went to the theater were persist
emily robbed, probably by other Brit
ish penal exiles In league with the
players, so the theater was closed and
the building RACED shortly thereafter.

Salem Highly Prizes
Ancient Indian Deed

The original Indian deed Of Salem,
Mass, has been ordered placed In a
specially built vault, and a photo
graphic copy now hangs where the
original used to be. The ravages of
time have injured the face of the
document and 1t now Ia barely decl-
pherable with the aid of a reading
glass. In the turbulent period Of Eng
lish possession many disputes arose
over the ownership of the land. The
crown contended that the Indians had
not possessed legal claim to the soil
which had been obtained from them
as the town site of Salem, 80 to pro-
tect themselves against encroach-
ments, the citizens In 1886 had the
Indians sign this deed ain considera-
ton Of ye full and just sum Of 20
pounds" Today this same land has
an assessed valuation of $100,000,0O0.
During the great fire of 1914, when
more than a third of Salem was swept
away, Mayor John f. Hurley hastened
from his home, which had been de-
stroyed with all his possessions, to
the city hall, where he sat in the
council chamber prepared to carry
this priceless relic to safety.-New

Planned to Connect
England and France

For more than a century plans have
been discussed from time to time for
constructing a tunnel under the Eng
fish channel, but the project never
has been seriously attempted. The
first person to propose a tunnel was
a French engineer named Matthew.
Later Thome de Gamond, another
Frenchman, managed to excite much
interest in an idea for submerging a
series of iron tubes and In the con-
struction Of a tunnel proper and he
obtained the support of the French
emperor in the tunnel plan. Thirty
years ago a channel bridge of colossal
dimensions tickled the public fancy.
1t was to cost S150,O00,000 and a com
pany actually was formed to carry
out the proposal, but the formation of
the company was as far as it went.
More startling was an idea for build
ing two immense chutes, one on each
side of the straits, by means of which
passengers could be projected quickly
from one country to the other.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

Sound Common Sense

Between the value of a mans work
and the money buyer will pay for
finished article, the capitalist has his
Indispensable function. He must sup
ply what people will find they want;
But that will not in itself make them
want good things. Sir Ernest Beven
advises them to save rather than to
spend, but only taste and morals can
teach them spending, And when they
have done both, they will need to ad-
just the social organism by some Civ
ing, which means as much from mind
as from pockets. II the dues for that
are left to the state, hundreds Of mil
lions will be thrown away.-Robert
Lencourt in the Atlantic Monthly.

Famous Inscription

The book held In the left hand of
the Statue Of Liberty represents a
Book of Laws" which the sculptor,
Bartholdl, says was to remind the in
coming immigrants that without ODE
dience to law there could be no true
liberty. The inscription thereon reads /.
July " MDCCCLXXvI." 1t was the
intention of the French to present the
gift upon the hundredth anniversary
of our independence. There was
delay and disappointment, and the Of
fetal presentation was not made I'M

Hymn an Inspiration

According to the story Of the COM
position of Rock of Ages" Wesley,
the great leader and hymn writer,
and Toplady, the Anglican church
man, met and were drawn into a
very heated argument over some cur
rent theological questions. They
argued until long after midnight.
Neither yielded a point When they
separated, Toplady was wrought up
to high state of spiritual excite
ment. Not being able to sleep, he sat
and thought. In a moment of exalta-
ton the words of the hymn, Rock
of Ages" began to come to his mind.
He began to write. Before dawn he
had produced this master hymn.

The president of one of the largest
public utilities corporations in the
country, who began as an underclerk,
frankly admits that his organization
makes a practice of paying beginners
little less than they are worth.
Why? Because they can speed the
new man up by a raise short while
after he has joined the concern and
they know he's a conner. That in
sures loyalty to the corporation and
keeps men on their toes. And it
breeds the desire to get another raise

Ancient Spelling

Always wear napron when eat
ing norange," may not meet with the
approval of a modern proofreader, but
two centuries ago "napron" and
'norange" were correct. The change
in spelling of these words is attributed
to an error made by some one, who,
being unfamiliar with them, guessed
at the proper place to put the letter
'n"-and, guessed wrong. "Napron
had its derivation from 'napkin"' or
map" while "norange" was the Eng
fish spelling given the Spanish word,
''naranta.'

Care st. Lazare to get our trunks.
We knew no French and the porters
at the station could not speak English.
After failing to make them under

despair exclaimed: "0h. b'gosh !" I'm

he brought the trunk. We never knew
