Barrie and “Peter Pan.” : The birth of J. M. Barrie’s play, “Peter Pan,” was full of romantic in- terest. Barrie had agreed to write a play for Frohman and met him at din- ner one night at the Garrick club in London. Barrie seemed nervous and 111 at ease. “What's the matter?’ said Charles. “Simply this,” said Barrie. ' “You know I have an agreement to delver you the manuscript of a play?’ “Yes,” said Frohman. “Well, I have it all right,” said Bar- rle, “but I am sure it will mot be a commercfal success. It is a dream child of mine, and I am so anxious to:see it the stage that I have written an- :.\er play which I will be glad to give you and which will compensate you for any loss on the one I.am so eager to see produced.” 1 “Don't bother about that,” said Froh- man. “I will produce both plays.” ! Now, the extraordinary thing about | this episode is that the play about ‘whose success Barrie was 50 doubtful was “Peter Pan,” which made several fortunes. The manuscript he offered Frohman to indemnify him from loss was “Alice-8it-by-the-Fire,” which last- ed only a season.—‘Charles Frohman, Manager and Man.” How Some Insects Multiply. The fecundity of certaln insect forms is astounding. The progeny of one lit- tle imsect, the “hop aphis,” sees thir- teen generations born to it in 'a single year and would, if unchecked to the end of the twelfth generation, multi- | ply to the inconceivable number of | ten sextillions of individuals. If this ! brood were marshaled in line, ten to the inch, it would extend to a point so sunk in the profundity of space that light from the head of the procession, traveling at the rate of 184,000 miles a second, would take 2,500 years to reach the earth. In eight years the | progeny of a pair of gypsy moths = could destroy all the foliage in the 1 United States if unchecked.—Popular { Science Monthly.

The grass is at its greenest—long, lush and wavy—caressed into ripples now and then by some wandering zephyr. “The meadow’s in the bloom”’—and the flowers are yielding their sweetest perfume. The mocking bird is trilling his marvelous notes—bubbling over with ecstasy. His rivals and neighbors are stirred ‘into song likewise —and the scene, indeed, is a place ~ . “where music -dwells Lingering and wandering on as loth to die.” The igently sighing trees, the rustling:.corn, the brook winding in and out, through grass, leaf and flower —and cver ail, the marvelous blue depths of a southern sky—ah! what a scene for a 'rainter, a poet or a musician. . NOW, imagine the best type of the old, slavetime iplantation negro, forced by the failing fortunes of his master to be sold into a distant land. = Parted from his Black Dinah and their little; shining pickaninnies—and carried to the canefields of Louisiana —so unlike his old home —we can picture his lone- liness—his desolation—nhis intense longing, as “the days go by like a shadow o’er the heart”—till the grave seems near and welcome; only a ““few more days for to tote the weary load.” Foster expresses all this in his “Old Kentucky Home.” The ineffable sadness of the music— the heartbreak in:the words—the divine inspiration of both— that only comes to genius —have made this song one of ‘the genuine treas- ures of American music.
