It is noticeable that her vaunted deafness makes itsef evident times. “Yes,” she continued rapidly, ‘“herein all arg contained. And It you choose you can omit the ‘Who's Who.'

My pen inspires me. That's all. T just take up my pen and then I begin. It Is all simple, you see.” The visitor nodded in vaguely disturbed agreement. “Perha, admitted Carolyn Welils, desk does inspire me some.

Oh, 1 don't know how I got it or when or how I'll use it, but its time will come., And here this ‘violent essence’'— doesn’t mean a thing resting there—but its time will come, too."

Nonsense! Why not a ses- tina? replied the jingler. “I'll write you a limerick, the true classical form ks has been proved over and over. Sonnet!

Of the 1,300 inmates of the New York City Children's hospital and schools on Randall's Island, one-half are feeble mivded while the other half have normal | minds in feeble bodies. Most of are under 14, and all are under 18. The colony is in charge of Mrs. Mary C. Dunphy, the superintendent, and It pre- sents sights both curious and pathetic to the visitor. In showing Charities Commissioner Heb- them | bera and a/party about the other day, Mrs, Dunphy led the way into & classroom where fifty feeble minded children squa tel on the floor around the teacher, be- Ing trained in singing a humming song. One of them named Jessie was asked to sing a song, which she did after hearing a few Introductory chords. From the throat of this child a volce of unusal beauty issued. As soon as the song was ended Jessie returned to her former state of apparent unconsclousness of her sur- roundin, That is & characteristic of these feeble minded children. Their actions resemble those of machines, Birds, daisies and other objects, including a Warship, were being drawn on a blackboard by two dozen feeble minded children in another room. Many of them could not pronounce properly the name of the drawn objects but showed skill with the crayons. When the visitors left the classroom they heard the sound of music on the lawn, where the island’s brass band of twenty-eight pleces, under tha instruction of Leader Schmolk, was at attention. It was 1 markable how the feeble minded boys fol- lowed so eccurately tifé leadership of the bandmaster. There i3 a base ball team made up of feeble minded youths, as well as a basket ball team. | aafaurels Another large room contained about two score boys and girls who were making garments for the inmates, Here last year over 1,000 pleces of girls' clothing, 1,800 pleces of boys' clothing, 200 garments for men and sixty-two for women were made, Besides this 41,000 miscellaneous articl and 6,000 pleces of bedding were repaired. The shoe repair shop reports show that almost 13,000 pairs of shoes were halt soled and heeled. The Inmates also made repairs to fur- niture. Thousands of plants were cut and propagated during the year and in addi- tion the members of the colony ralsed vegetables for use in the Institution and several tons of hay and fodder for the horses on the island. One hundred thousand yards of material is used here every year, and as an ex- ample of the way the feeble minded chil- dren work it may be sald that a pencil or chalk line is drawn where a seam Is wanted in a garment and the children follow it accurately. Two overseqrs are the only ones in the sewing room who Ppossess normal minds. The crippled children used to have~to walk to school. Commissioner Hebberd has earned their gratitude by supplying them with a donkey and cart. They ride In the cart to school and make a pet of the donkey. Other changes brought about by the com- missioner concern the flower gardens and fiuit patches, where the children spend a good deal of time in the summer, A False Alarm.

DRESSED IN AIRY HARNESS With Her Body Stained a Golden Bronze She Performs Daring Dance. Miss St. Denis appears in more than a | program in New York. In her most daring darce, though, she wears only a sort of |harness of jewels over her lithe body. | Stained a golden bronze with the juice of | the betal nut, she is so completely. clothed |in the spirit and beauty of India that any one who goes to see her for any other reason than that of apprectation of a won- |derful art 1s going to be disappointed. “Undoubtedly my dances are the most daring on the stage, If you consider merely the question of drapery,”” she sald. “I mean that I wear fewer clothes than Isa- dora Duncan, Maud Allen or any of the Interpreters of Greek dancing. For in my last dance—that called ‘The Temple,’ where I appear as the enshrined idol Radha, the dng | Wife of Vishnu—I wear, with the exception of trunks, absolutely nothing but jewels |and flowers. That Is all that the idol really wears, and, to put other things on her | would seem to me to be prudish, it not | prurient. “I try to give an Interpretation as well as a representation of India.

The Philadelphia Academy of Music and the |0l Brooklyn Academy of Music, burned |some years ago, were distinguished for thelr almost perfect acoustic qualities.

The scene Is in the temple before shrine of Radha, who sits cross-legged and with joined hands pointing heavenward while on the steps leading to the altar and on the floor of the temple her priests ring Denls |bells and wave lights in thelr efforts to waken her. Finally, she descends and exe- cutes @ dance In five parts, simulating in elaborate pantomine the senses of sight, bearinfg, sme!l, taste and touch. The priests are real Hindoos. The temple and the altar setting in thelr somber rich- ness of color suggest a painting by Gerome, while Miss St. Denls, & lithe, lean bronse, bare as Diana herself, save for her harness of jewels, makes you think that if all Hindoo goddesses resembled her, even Tommy Atking would never have bewalled Undertaken in | When | and there i no | the | the waste of Christian athen idol's foot.” Throughout the performance a subtle odor of incense pervaded the entire house. “Few persons realize the psychological effocts of incense,” Miss St. Denis remarked afterward. 'Yet it is because of its peculfar influenee that it is used in churches. It ex- erts a strange, subtle power over me during my entire performance and indeed for some time after I leave the theater. It seems to be necessary to the understanding of my Interpretation both for the audience and myself, “I have never understood the singular fascination that India has for me.

These germs are rendered entirely non- harmful Lefore being used in treating the disease. Without here entering upon the techni- cal aspects of the treatment, which is en- tirely new, The Times will present Its most slgnificant features, as related in an artl- cle in the current issue of the Boston Medical and Surglcal Journal. Dr. Timothy Leary of Tufts Medical schook desiring to test the new vaccine on the most unpromising subjects appealed to his professional friends to use the treat- ment in alcoholic and other estreme cases The vaccine s called pneurfociccus vac- cine, the pneumococcus being the name of the special germ which causes pneumonia. The vaccine was trled on thirty-four of these unpromlising patients, of whom six dled, a percentage of 17.7. Then It was tried In forty-nine cases of ordinary pneu- monla, with only two deaths. In the serfes of forty-nine ordinary cases 16 per cent came to a crisis in three days. The crisis s reached usually In nine days The total deaths for the serfes of elghty three cases treated with the vaccine In- | Jection numbered elght, or 9.7 per cent. | Every physician at once will realize that these results are extraordinary. Further | experimentation, therefore, will be fol- lowed with deep and watchful interest. | Acute pneumonia often defles the best | services of modern medical sclence, and | if a vaccine has been produced which re- | duces its virllity so marvelously as these | i reported cases from Boston would Iindi-| cate, the great art of medicine has taken | another tremendously long stride.~St. | Louls Times | |HOW TO GET A CHEAP “JAG” Take Four Moderate Sudden Jar Wi Rest.
