MARCELLA SEMBRICH Says as She Takes Leave of Grand Opera, The Singer, Not the Music, Counts

The Sin
BY SYLVESTER RAWLING.
My greatest joy, as I take my leave of the opera stage in America, is the consciousness that it is love for Marcella, the woman, even more than admiration for Sembrich, the artist, that makes your great, big, generous public so sorry to pathetic the art and her personality. There have been other great singers in the period, worthy rivals of hers in many particulars, but now she has closed to us such complete mastery of the art of singing. Readers of this article who have had the privilege within a fortnight of seeing her arch and pliant and youthful Susanne in "The Marriage of Fiancee Maude" in "La Bohème," her moving Violette in "La Traviata," with the lusciousness of her voice unimpaired, must wonder why she has elected to retire now. You shall be told presently in her own words.
Her Two Farewells
There is to be an official farewell to Mine, Sembrich upon the stage of the Metropolitan opera house after the performance tonight (subsequently she was given a private hotel) and one of a more intimate nature at a dinner to be given in her honor by composers, musicians and writers about music, with their wives, the actor tomorrow. In this little chat with her, she expresses, probably, the substance of what she may say at either or both of these functions. Sembrich had only just returned from austurizing rehearsal of night's program when the writer called upon her at the Hotel Savoy. It was late in the afternoon, but the sky across Central Park, which her apartments from the hotel, showed with light. She was very tired, and added, but would not hear of postponing our little chat. It was not at once that she made the remark quoted in the beginning of the article, but as it was the thought apposmont in her mind it may as well stand for a leader of the conversation.
Tears and Smiles.
"It overwhelms me," she continued, "as I stand before my farewell audiences, this feeling of how sorry they are, just for my alone. That I am helpful, piness to me, but it makes the leave-taking all the more sorrowful an event. I find my tears very close to my smiles. I find the concert last Sunday night, as the concert was so great, could feel nothing else but the sweet note of personal appreciation that was nearing out upon me. It was the same on Sunday night when I was Mimi. It was the same on Saturday night, I know. It is no light thing to tear myself away from associations twenty-five years. America for long has seemed to me the first. I was friendly to me from the first. It was supported me faithfully throughout my artistic career. Some of my very dearest and best friends are here. The one is most appreciative and kind to me. Why, then, do I go away, you ask?"
Into the Future.

Violinist Hart
BY ETHEL LLOYD PATTERSON.
The most interesting thing about Arthur Hartmann, the Hungarian violinist, is his pillow. There are plenty of other things—his habitats and his hair Hatland, of poure's his tailor—some call it genius—but almost any one would give the pillow precedence. But, then, if we are to believe Mr. Hartmann, the pillow is really responsible for everything except the hair cut.
Mr. Hartmann did not want to tell about the pillow. He hates publicity and he fears lack of comprehension from the gross unmusical mind. Besides he was saving the history of the pillow until he was a really great man. Then he was going to say: "Behold the pillow done it! But Mr. Hartmann is too modest. Even now he is great, and therefore the hour of disclosure for the pillow plot has struck.
"In my pillow, upon which I lay my head nightly, are Tschalkowsky, Grieg, Brahms, MacDowell, Liszt and Weinlawski" confusingly explained Mr. Hartmann then; Mr. I see you do not understand; I will make it plain to you, but to do so we will have to go back to my father."

"By the time I was three years old, I had expressed a fondness for the violin and continued Mr. Hartmann, "and had been commended to play it little. My musical proclivities pleased my father immensely. When I was eighteen he presented to me his collection of musicians manuscripts. I treasured them greatly. For several years Mr. were locked up in an old Egyptian casket. I added to them when I could, although I did not buy any manuscript. I waited until they were presented to me.
"Now comes the strange part of my story," said Mr. Hartmann, lowering his voice. "The Egyptian casket I always kept near my bed. Often when I dreamed that strange strains of music came from it. When I awoke they would still be ringing in my ears. They were the basis for many of my early compositions.
To me what finally prompted me to destroy these manuscripts. Mr. Hartmann went on, dramatically. "An overwhelming impulse came upon me, and I tore them in shreds one day. I seemed to be acting under a spell I

took some mummy cloth that my father had and made a pillow. Then I put the torn fragments in it.
Never Misses a Night.
"From that day to this my head has rested upon that pillow every night. Sometimes, with my ear close down upon it, it seems to me that I can feel it throb like a mighty heart. And always and completed theme of every bar that I have written has seemed to arise from beneath my brain and float out from my marvelous pillow.
"My last composition is entitled 'Thus Spake God,' announced Mr. Hartmann, with almost painful modesty. It and completed theme. My pillow gave it to me but a short time ago. There will be people, I suppose, who will say that it is in imitation of Richard Strauss." "Thus Spake Zarathustra, but it could not be. It could not be because I have not a manuscript of Richard Strauss' in my pillow.
"I did not care to tell of my pillow because nobody will understand—that is, nobody but a real musician. I wanted to wait until the four corners of the world knew my name, and then I would tell what the relief of the great composers had done for me.
"See," said Mr. Hartman, diverging from the subject of the pillow, "my jaw is crooked from caressing my violin for so many years."
be dying out. Your modern operas are first of all sensational. Your modern composers bother little about voices and instruments, but about situations, upon artistic personalities, upon singing orchestra effects. Singing pure and simple scarcely even now takes place in the scale, and sometimes is it not as low even as fifth or sixth?
"When I was a girl, while we were always to act, while personality was always to act, while personality was we were forced to cultivate was singing, singing, singing, first last and all last. We had to go through 'Northern' and 'Tennessee' such works as matter of course, and we worked hard and we studied ceaseance and to learn how to sing properly and were great singers all about us. There were glorious traditions behind us, we were teachers who knew what was necessary for us to do to achieve good singing.
Future Inspiration.
"Alas! Where shall the coming generation of singers find its inspiration? Your young American girls have to sing properly without study and the knowledge anywhere. They are full of taglines. Their仪仪ations. They could be trained to follow successfully in the footsteps of the greatest singers. It is given to few to sing properly without study and the knowledge anywhere. Patti, for instance, was one of the rarely equipped natural singing birds. To most of us singing is an art that is acquired only by hard work. But it is the immediate future, where shall property trained singers find their place?
Maybe there will be a reaction, you say, when we have been wiped out, the teachers will have disappeared, the art will be lost. Learn to sing from the records? Absurd my friend. They reproduce nothing but the effect. They can teach you nothing of the methods by which they were produced.
"Do you know, another sweet memory of my parting is the gracious sympathy of the troupilant Opera House company. All of them, including Eames, have volunteered to appear in the first act of 'La Traviata', in which I am really to say I am to be my Flora—the loveliest who has ever sung the part with me."
"Will be Busy Until June."
"My immediate plans. Well, I am to sail to opera in Berlin, Dresden, Munich and several other German cities; also in Vienna, Buda Peeth and St. Petersburg. That will keep me busy until June. On Lake Geneva for the summer. You know, Paderewski will close by us and Hofmann also. The Schellings have sought a place near ny and perhaps we have an artistic colony there before long."
"But I am coming back to America for a concert tour next season. No; I am coming back myself more than one season, but you are still so insistent that I can't refuse that. How do you know that I can't remember the right if I choose to take it. Perhaps I shall teach What! Come to America and establish a school! Go to Geneva on us! Lake Geneva next summer and see how happy we are."

Violinist Gets a New Name.
Mrs. Aso-Neith Cochran, who is the leader of the new name-changing cult, has added Hartmann to her list of recipients.
He had his old name of Arthur rubbed out and a new one written in. He is now Japay Hartmann. He hasn't a violin since, as he did in January, 2007, when some one stole his $0,000 Guarrierius while he was on a train between Houston and Los Angeles.
Hartmann admitted today that he is a believer in the Aso-Neith doctrine. He says that he met Mrs. Aso-Neith, as he calls Mrs. Cochran, and she told him of a number of changes that would come into his life. Every one of them arrived in schools that Prior to that he had met her daughter in Berlin. The daughter was his pupil.
Mrs. Aso-Neith changed my name for me and designed a charm and success. Mr. Hartmann wears the charm now. It is a seven-pointed star. It exerts a powerful influence on his affairs, he says.
Mrs. Aso-Neith has done a lot more name changing, and her success, it is related, has been uniform.

Off the Great Barrier Reef
THERE was a sound of lapping water on the seaward side of the trade-house palm, and spike crested palms seemed to offer the blue span of sky overhead. In the east lay Espiyt Santo, with its innumerable jungle-screened inlets and sloping hills. The tip of a young moon with tropic brightness over the distant headland.
The trade-house veranda was in darkness. A white-coated German seat-front and lazy, a big-head in the hatchback, and a big-head in the lugger crawl to her moorings across the bay.
"Chow at the helm. Brings his craft up to a three-knot breeze, as though it was parrying with an old-man cycle." Capt. William Hayes moved from the deep veranda shade and glanced seawards through his night glasses, through his Lee chasing trepang and beech-drum. Wonder if he ever goes to sleep?" Der Chows haf der luck of mules, grunted the German. "A white man with Lee chasing trepang and beech-drum. Wonder if he ever goes to sleep?" Der Chows haf der luck of mules, grunted the German. "A white man with Lee chasing trepang and beech-drum. Wonder if he ever goes to sleep?" I used to laugh at chinkles once, said Hayes thoughtfully. "But now I'd sooner skin a live wolf than meddle with Lee chasing trepang and a pigtail on the high seas." Dey haf no more brains dan monkeys. Dey vas shoots a nation off fires crawlin' about der East. I vos sooner your skinned wolf any, hayes.
Hayes licked a big green cigar and padded uneasily up and down the wide ceramic. Up in Swatow nine years old, Hayes sold such a range of pallid tpkepo for $400. After I broke all sailing records to land. it in Sydney I found that they'd loaded me with dried meat, Hayes told me tearing south to hit the market with a cargo of pig mash and plantation litter!"
A big-shouldered, lion-finned cap, Hayes wore Capt. Hayes. In his young years, he had been living for lives for pails and dollars. As a navigator he towered on Teach, Ross Lewin and other island blackguards, his worst moments Hayes was always relieved of. He eluded gunboats and commissions of inquiry with the ease and diplomacy of a sultan. At a pinch he co-operated a culture farm, even in the present British consul. From Manikhi to the line the sound of his name uttered suddenly on an island beach brought men, hand, to their trade-house pallades.
"Ive had a hard life," he continued slowly, "fighting kanaks and keeping some island things." There were planks. There were tapes.

of us had starved in Sydney at some time or other. And as we lay for-ard, my mate, Bill Howe, reckoned that an man ought to come out of the affair. It was past midnight when we sighted her. She was standing well away from the Barrier, like a thing afraid, the barrier and shooting from light to light. Funny. We squelled in the dark—youd think the blamed sea wasn't wider than a race course. She carried a long range. American cannon for ard, one I picked up of a Chilian slave agent in Samoa. Bill Howe looked after the ammunition and the loading, and he set a shot across the bows as a though he was shooting for a target. I nailed that wed put a mustard plaster on her waterline if she didn't heave to quick and lively. I coughing and swearing like an old woman with a cold in hag head. I measured her fore-and-aft with my night glasses, and I could almost the dirty decks. I seen them funnels. There was a crook Chinese merchants and diggers aboard; they heaved up from below in a simultaneous bundle, and they stood on other's feet trying to get a look at us. "We pulled towards 'em in a whale-boat. There was eight of us carryving revolvers, seated for ard. Some of us were boys. We were boys. We were boys. It is far better game than fingering poor policemen and tearing valuable uniforms. "Staddy, boys!" I said, as we pulled under and rolled above us like a hot thing with burning eyes. Funny how some ships glower at you! We felt heavy, breathtaking, and we heard the stammer of the seas under her portrait.
"What ship? says I, hallering her smartly. Two of the ladies steadied the whale and kept us from smashing against her rips.
"A long, melon-faced chinky looked at me over the side, then another and another, until the steamer's rail was held in the hatch and eyed the Mongolians. The little white skimmer his face puffy with indignation and whisky, threw his patent lion on us. I saw his hand shake, and knew that he was spit it funk.
"It's that infernal Haze! putted to an officer. What the blazes is he after?
"See here, Cap'n Hoypoo, says I Hayes, 'in personalities or I'll brighten the visible fittings with your bald head. Savvy'
"My word, he did. I guess the name of Hayes was as good as a charge of the compass he unbounded the waters. The compass light showed me his blithering face as he climbed down from the bridge, wild-eyed and clawing the air.
"Mays says he, 'don't be an ass. I know you mean mischief—anything of murder. What is it? he asks. 'Mail bags?'
"No, says I. Bullion sacks—2,000 pounds or thereabouts. Hope you didn't think I was after the saloon ducks?
"It struck me that while he palvered over the rail the Chows were holding a private meeting at fitt. They were wearing a jacket, and I liked it. They was a bad man with a string of buccaneers at my heels. I don't like Chinese when they rush together—they are as cute as the end of a lightning." "Hurry up!" says I. My ship is riding on your quarter. Just chase your feet into the buillon room and sling down the box, or I'll put a shell under your propeller. The shiper was a plebald man, smitten with ague and loaded with Chinese habits. He squealed at me and threatened; then when he'd used up his rage he floated into hyperbole and collapsed. "Hayes," says he, 'this is a hanging mite, Piracy, by Heaven's, on your heels in less than a week.' "The Chows ran to the side and stared at us again. One of them, a fellow with an evil squill, spoke for the others. "Hayes, you well bad did he. 'Wha' fo you want our money?' "Don't want your squeaks, anyhow, I said hotly.

"From the boat to the derrick chain was thirty feet, and as it swung over us I could almost see the bullion tank, the copper-fastened, descending towards us.
"Stand by! reared a voice from the winch; and hold her when she touches."
The bullion tank was hanging fifteen feet above us, and there wasn't the ghost of a light on our quarter to show us its exact bearings. We knew it was swinging in the air like a potassium, in and out, in and out, it hung level with the Ning Pots rail.
"All ready? shouts the winchman.
Capt. Hayes leaned over the veranda raft, and smoked reflectively. "No," he said, as he met the skipper of the Ning Po. He faded out of this life on an overdose of opium, up in Shanghai, last year, and up to prevent or gratifying the allure shown when we meet, though. I admire presence of mind. But I'd like to tell that showman—with my heel on his neck—accepted the delivery of his bull gator "I intend to be a better man in future, Schultz; and if you want a reliable navigator to hustle around the islands or boss a pearl lagoon I'll show you." With a boisterous good night to the heat-fretted German in the hammock, Hayes swung from the trade house to the warehouse of the pier. Later, his voice sounded across the bay—a roaring bass that seemed to shatter the trople silence.
"We heard the Chinkies prattle in the upstairs kitchen." We heard the hard raftle rattle. "That let the anchor down." "That let the anchor anyhow." grunted the German, and went to sleep.

THE MISSISSIPPIANIZATION OF FREE MASONRY.
Grand Master Martin of the Caucasian Masonic Grand Lodge of the more or less grand old commonwealth of Mississippi, has set seriously about the task of reforming the institution of Freemansory and making it such as it ought to be and must be in order to flourish in that enlightened section of the universe.
Grand Master Martin recently discovered that the Caucasian Grand Lodge of New Jersey had, among its subordinate lodges one—Alpha Lodge of Newark—composed of Afro-American members.
As Alpha Lodge has existed for nearly a century, intelligent Masons all over the world knew of its existence, but the Mississippi fellow never "hear tell" of such a thing before. And it is fair to presume that his ignorance is sufficiently comprehensive to make him unaware of the fact that the grand lodges of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Jamaica, Porto Rico, Peru and Argentina are in the same attitude as that of New

"The idea that the South can afford," said Mr. Taft, "to have the Afro-American transplanted to some other country to me always sounded like a joke. They tried that down in Mississippi, and they were going to move then, not out of the country to Africa, but only across the river, and they had a riot. Of course, that is absurd.
"But if the Afro-American would be respected he must make himself worthy of respect. He must cultivate those virtues of providence, of industry, of thrift which will make him respected as a laborer, as a farmer, as a skilled mechanic, as a man contributing to the wealth of the community in which he lives, and without whose aid the accumulation of that wealth is impossible.

KISSING A MENACE TO MORALI
TY.
Rev. Henry W. Ireland of Mount Gilead, Ohio, in a recent sermon in the Disciple church denounced kissing as a greater curse than intemperance. He says:
"The kiss is an intoxicant, and, like the saloon, must go. It is more fruitful of consequences than any alcoholic beverage ever distilled. I think kissing is the worst thing a young woman can do, and the amount of it some of our girls do—of our best families, too—is a menace to morality.
"I have carefully inquired into the matter and find that many young girls imagine this is the way to get husbands. It may help some, but kissing is not all that is necessary."

"Therefore, as the President of the United States to be, if the Lord spares me until March 4, I must feel that I had not discharged my duty in coming into this country, if I spoke at all, without speaking to the colored people as an important part of the South, and as Americans entitled to the same earnest concern that I hope the Lord may give me to manifest with respect to a whole united people."
Mr. Taft was introduced as "the most popular and conspicuous citizen of the United States, America's greatest statesman, our uncrowned king, for whom we wish a successful administration and a second term," by the famous Dr. Walker, known as the "Black Surgeon."
Dr. Walker pointed a bright present and a brighter future for the Afro-Americans of Georgia, who owned, he said, a million acres of land in the state and paid taxes on $20,000,000 worth of property.
This report Mr. Taft regarded as most encouraging.
Evidently Rev. Ireland never was treated to the ecstatic bliss of a real "soul kiss."
Kissing may be naughty under some circumstances, but under most circumstances it's mighty nice, and like the little brook, will go on forever.
The University students at Birmingham, England, proved themselves to be real men, a few days since, in upholding Burns' axiom, "a man's a man for a' that and a' that," in the case of a Negro student.
At a local skating rink which was being operated there by an American, who carried his color prejudice with him, an attempt was made to exclude a Negro student of the university. The incident aroused a heated controversy. The Negro's fellow students took up his cause and hired lawyers to oppose the renewal of the rink's license and when the case was called in the court the manager apologized and promised not to make any race distinctions in the future. Rah, rah, rah, for the Birmingham students. They're all right.

"Humph!!" remarked the bachelor, "I'd have told your fortune-for nothing! I'm going to marry a nice-looking bachelor with good shoulders and a noble nose—"

"And a tiny, little bald spot," put in the widow, made a woke up.
you're a bad fortune teller, Mr. Travers.
"What!"
"Well," explained the widow, "you don't want your palm crossed with silver, and you don't wear a pointed cap and a long cap covered with gilt stars and crescents, and you prophesy unlucky things!"
"Unlucky things!" exclaimed the bachelor, indignantly. "Don't you consider it real 'luck in love' to be able to marry a charming, intelligent, high-minded person?" broke in the widow, hastily. "Real luck in love consists entirely in keeping out of it!"
"Whee-eew!"
The bachelor drew a long, long puff at his cigar before replying, "Ah, well!" He mused thoughtfully. The mere fact of marrying me and necessarily indicate that you were in love.
"No-o-0," agreed the widow, doubtfully. "After all, that might be real luck—in marriage."
"Oh," exclaimed the bachelor, delightfully, "to do whatever."
"That is not the point," retorted the widow. "Luck in marriage consists not

In getting the person who wants you"
"Anybody can do that!" declared the bachelor, scornfully.
"Anybody can become president!" rejoined the widow. "but most of them never do. Any man can marry a girl who wants him, but he always imagines it. He wants it, but he doesn't want him. He will pass by who doesn't cozy, suitable girls who would give their eyes for the privilege of adoring him and mending his socks, and making life a downy couch for him, and elusive creature whose very distance and indifference constitute her enchantment, and who, even if he succeeds in winning her, merely takes care of her. He keeps a man busy working for her, and waiting for her, and feeling like an object of charity for the rest of his life. Love is a one-sided game; love is more weight there is on one side the idea that the seems on the other. You've merely got to choose which side you weigh in on when it comes to matrimony—whether you prefer giving or taking—
Here is an exciting parlor game which will appeal to young and old. It is very easily mastered. Any number of four players join in the game, and the only appearance needed is chair for each player and a clear space in a room. For an example, let us take, twelve players, who can be chosen in some convenient way. These seat themselves on chairs in three rows, and the players lay down in the accompanying illustration from Pearson's Weekly) at the end of the room with their backs to the wall. Each team represents an alrship, which can be given an appropriate name, as Zeppelin, Wright, Farnam, and so on. The players are seated at the back of each other in the knees of the person directly behind. A winning tape should be stretched across the room at the other end. To start the race another person begins to read a short story, and various to this, each alrship has been given a word which means advance and another retreat. Let us suppose the chosen words to be: Advance. Retreat. For the Zeppelin Alrship "The" "On"
"Come right up in. Sunboo," the farmer called out. "He won't hurt you. You know a barking dog never blites." "Sure, boss, ah knows, dat," replied the cautious colored man, "but ah don't know how soon he's going to stop barkin'"—Success Magazine.

tuitously, "is the greatest joy of love." "Yes," agreed the widow, laconically moon; but when it comes to deciding who is going to get up and turn on the steam heat and take the milk off the ice, "it's not going to be going to get the tenderest portion of steak and the seat nearest the radiator. It's quite different. Self-sacrifice novels and the abstract; in every day, like it"—rather inconvenient, you see." "No," retorted the bachelor, obstinately, "I don't see why two peo-

ple like us couldn't share the steak and the steam heat and our troubles equally.
"Because we aren't built that way," sighed the widow sadly, "Mommymy is a bargain—and somebody has to get the bargain. The other must take the leavings and be satisfied."
"Nice world this would be," grumbled the bachelor, bitterly, "if every one took your advice and went about searching for somebody to adore him."
"Oh, that never will happen," interrupted the widow, cheerfully, "There always will be plenty of fools and idealists in the world who will cling to the belief that happiness in marriage consists in making a martyr of lambes and plenty of lambs in Wall Street will give the bulls an dbears a chance to make their millions. But there isn't any happiness in marriage," she added sorrowfully, "because you can't be happy with the person whom you love you can't be happy without him!"
"Then why not try being happy with somebody who loves you?" suggested the bachelor, eagerly. "I'm willing to weigh in on the wrong side—"
"And to take the milk off the dumbwaiter and give you three-quarters of the steak and—"
"I don't believe you!" cried the widow, she embeathment. "But, if you were—" I broke in the jacem in the bachelor, excited.
"Never!" declared the widow, with a shudder. "I hate to marry a bull or a bear, but I'd prefer even a hyena to—to anything as meek and humble and easy as a lamb—with mint sauce. Besides, she added with conviction. "I want to be a bachelor," returned the bachelor, with a sigh of real relief.
All the Same.
Hubby—It becomes very trying, my dear, you always says check, check, check. I feel as if life was a long game of chess.

‘Those Recently Made Heavy Enough
to Hold Largest Vessels.
“It some of the sea worthies could
come to earth and get a look at. the
anchors which were recently turned
out in the Charlestown navy yard they
would not believe their eyesight,” said
HL. M. Knight of Boston. “Battleships
nowadays carry four anchors. These
have been cast heretofore, but they
were liable to break at the wrong
‘time, es
‘They were so big, however, that tt
seemed there was no other way tc
make them. Finally it was decided to
‘try and forge an anchor of the size
‘needed at the Charlestown navy yard
Accordingly five men were set at work
on an anchor which was to weigh 17,
600 pounds. The men worked on the
anchor a month and then turned out
fone that stood all the tests and was
accepted. Now they are making those
anchors fm the yard in sets of fours
for shipments wherever they are
needed,
“These anchors will hold the larg
est battleships afloat unless they are
caught in a hurricane. They are im
mense affairs. They are fifteen fect

nine and a half feet across from point
to point. The palms at the arm ends,
which get the grip on the bottom, aré

have been shipped to the Pacific coast
to go on battleships at the stations on
that coast.”

To Afford Opportunity for Adoration of Statesman's Spirit.
A singular incident has happened at the city of Lu Chou Fu, a famous spot 140 miles up the Yangtse from Nanking. This important city was the home of the celebrated Li Hung Chang, whose visit to Europe and then to America created such great interest a few years since. Within its walls is a fine school, to which is attached a great hospital, both built with funds left by him for the purpose. By the side of these two establishments now stands a new and splendid temple, one of the finest ever erected in China.
It has been built in accordance with the universal custom of ancestor worshi, but further in order to afford opportunity for the adoration of the spirit of the great statesman, not only by his own relatives but by the public generally. Li Hung Chang has been added to the countless gods in the Chinese pantheon.
This temple is 400 feet long and 75 feet wide. A series of open courts, surrounded by columns, lead back to the sanctuary. The cost of the structure was £40,000. But the tomb of Li Huang Chang is not here, for he was buried five miles away from the city, and close by the sepulchre is another fine ancestral temple. A few miles still further on is yet another large temple belonging to another branch of the same immensely wealthy family. It is said that the several branches of the family have at least a quarter of a million sterling invested in ancestral temples. They own two-thirds of the land twenty-five miles east of the city.
A Complication.
Two Irishman were telling conundrums one day, and when their supply ran out Pat suggested that they make some up.
"Allright," said Mike. "Phwhat is it that goes around a barnyard in feathers and on two legs and barking like a dog?"
"My, that's not. I give it up," answered Pat, after some moments of thinking. "Phwhat's the answer?"
"A chicken!"
"My, that's fine; but howd the barking of a dog get in there?" inquired Pat.
"Oh, I just put that in to make it harder."
For a Siberian Canal.
The construction of a huge new waterway across Siberia, nearly parallel with the course of the Trans-Siberian railway, is projected in Russia. It is proposed to connect five great Siberian rivers—the Tobol, Ishim, Irlsh, Ob and Yenlessei—the other less important streams, by canals or light railways, and with a view to this the Russian government has ordered extensive surveys to be taken.
Real Ambition.
"Now, mind," said the billionaire to his daughter, "if I take you abroad this summer, you're not to go and engage yourself to one of those dukes or earls that'll be hanging about you like flies about a honey pot."
"No, father."
"No," said the old gentleman. "We'll just mosey round a bit till we find some king or emperor in reduced circumstances."
Absent-Mindedness.
Rufus Choose once endeavored to make a witness give an illustration of absent-mindedness. "Wal," said the witness cautiously, "I should say that a man who thought he'd left his watch to hum, an' took it out'n his pocket to see if he had time to go hum to get it' I should say that that feller was a leetle absent-minded."
More Important.
Two village worries were discuss-
ing a mooted point in grammar, as to
whether a hen "sits" or "sets" when
she takes to her nest.
"Seems to me it's a heap more
important," interrupted a bystanding
farmer, "whether she 'lays' or 'lies'
when she cackles."
Not So Wonderful
"My grandfather," said the new neighbor, who was making a duty call, "was a great portrait painter. With one stroke of his brush he could change a smiling face into a sad one." "Huh!" exclaimed small Johnny, who happened to be in the parlor. "Our teacher can do that."
Exactly Like Her
Artist—Your wife ordered this portrait from me.
Rockford—She did, eh? Well, it certainly is very much like her. Did she pay for it?
Artist—No, sir.
Rockford—Ab, that is still more like her.
He Made Good.
Trotter—When young Biffkins left college a few years ago he declared he was going to forge his way to the front. Did he make good? Homer—As a forger, yes. He's now occupying a front row cell in the penitentiary."
Backhand Stroke.
Miss Peachblow—"O, not always. If it wasn't for my chaperon some men would hang around me all day."
Rather Rapid.
"Was his auto going so very fast?" "Your honor, it was going so fast that the bulldog on the seat beside him looked like a dachhund."
