Mary Garden, the singer, attended » dinner in St. Petersburg, and the guest was'a noted Russian general, who was placed next to Miss Garden. The general was very dignified and oold in manner. Miss Garden found him rather hard to converse with, which fact was noticed by the woman o ber other side. The woman, know- ing the singer very well, whispered to her; “Why don’t .you tell the genmeral that you will sing for him, Mary?

In the city of Stettin, Germany, is & anique society for the promotion of It was founded in 1872, and' weekly lectures are given, dealing with subjects of interest to its members. A striking feature is the granting of stipends to capable young men who desire to go abroad for train. | Ing in foreign countries. An appli- cant for, a stipend must have some knowledge of- the .English lapguage and of the commercial language of the country to which he intends to .go. to character and ability. The stipend is to be large enough to cover the expenses of the journey and to tide over a reasonable period of time until employment can be found. The maxi- mum sum granted is $360. Shoulq the recipient later find himself in a po- sition to repay the stipend to the asso- ciation, he 1s expected to do so. He must give his word of honor that he will justify the confidence placed in him by making the best use of his so- journ abroad in increasing hie knowl- edge and employing it in the promo- tion of Stettin’s trade. He 18 also obliged to make quarterly reports to the association, in which he relates his experiences abroad, describes trade conditions, gives details as to produc- tion and consumption, climate, ex- ports.and imports, and especially how Stettin’s trade with the country can be promoted. UNABLE TO SEE THE JOKE Statesman, Forced to. Admit He Could Not Read His Own Writing, Was Annoyed. Representative Willlam C. Adam- #on, chairman of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, can perhaps claim the record in the house for illegible chirography. He will admit that it is sometimes impos- sible for him to read his own hand- writing after it has grown cold. One day a client entered his law office at Carrollton, Ga., and handed him a letter. Straight He must also submit testimonials as' Tecel that letter in the mail yelterday ‘and am unable to reld it. 1 wish _you would translate it for me.” Mr. Adamson fook the letter, which was scrawled on a plain sheet of pa- per, and regarded it for a long time. Then he handed . it back with the re- mark: “Thlt il not writing. Some lunatic has heen '.ryln( to plny a-Jok ou ! Straightway the vlsltor handed' Mr. | Adamson the printed envelope "in which the letter had been mailed. “This letter evidently came from your office, Mr. Adamson; your name I8 printed on the -envelope,” he said, mildly, But Mr. Adamson’s remarks were not mild; in fact, they have been ex- punged from the record .—Washington Btar. ; Thought It Was Alive. . | Gilbert Parker, the English author, says Hearst’s Magazine, tells of an English gentleman who recently came to this country to visit some friends in California. “In common with most travelers, he supposed game was plen- tiful everywhere in that state, so he caried with him the necessary guns and ammunition, As his train neared San Bernardino —just before making the mountain climb—there was a delay.~ Several hours passed, and still the train: re- mained stationary; our traveler friend grew restive, and sought the porter of the Pullman car to ascertain the cause of the delay. “It seems that in ‘mounting the grade a freight train had broken apart, the rear portion having descended the grade and blocked the track. The por- ter informed him: of the accident to the freight train, and said, ‘There is a caboose on the track.’ “Immediately the ‘hunter’ instinct was awakened; hastened to his berth, he procured his gun and started for the door, saying: “‘Show it to me! Show it to me!”” Would Wear. *“I chose my wife,” said the vlcal of Wakefield, “as she did her wed ding gown, not for a fine, glossy sur face, but for such qualities as would wear well.” "HELPS WHEN PLANTING SEEDS Gives a Few Words | of Advice, Seemingly Both Sea- sonable and Sensible.

His Playmate Was a Canary. Various are the alleviations of which the patients at the Royal Hos- pital for Incurables avail themselves, says the London Telegraph. A mum- ber of pet birds are caged for the in- terest and entertainment of thoss no less unwilling prisoners of jincurable disease. Among these pets there was a cock canary, the loss of which has been mourned by all who were acquatated with its remarkable intelligence and its many amusing and attractive quali ties. For years it was set free In a large room, where it would fly about in perfect confidence. To its owner In particular it was so responasive that. it would return again and agaln, regard- ing the performance as a sort of game; it would also allow itself to be freely handled, and delighted in a prolonged tussel upon a table, or a chase round a ball of paper.

A clever little English girl, who o sisted that she might spell “honor” so, loved she not “honour” more had fallen among Americans and was g Ing quizzed by her companions about her manner of spelling that good word and others like it. “And do you epell ‘behaviour’ wits the U?” she was asked. “Oh, yes,” she replied. “My mother would not think it was good behaviour to spell it without the U.” No other bakmg - powder will raise nicer, lighter bis- cakes and pastry, none Is more. pure and wholesome Keeping Track of Children's Needé. clothes their mothers wore when they were little.
