To fame the Ohio. There is a merry row on between Gov. Nash and President McKinley over the christening of the new battle ship Ohio. Originally Gov. Nash's daughter was selected to break the bot tle of w'iue on the prow of the ship. Mrs. McKinley, however, demanded that her niece. Miss Mary Barber, be awarded the honor. Now it is an MISS MARY BARBER. nounceu mat miss rsasn nas consent ed to stand aside. Her father, tlie* governor, is said to be very wroth over the action of the , president in depriving Miss Nash of the place once awarded her. It seems that one of Senator Han na's daughters also coveted the place, but the senator has announced that , he has declined to permit the commit- j tee to consider either of his daughters j for the occasion, on the ground that i the Hanna family has figured alto gether too conspicuously in public events with the McKinley family. Senator Foraker thoughtfully with- I drew his daughters in favor of MlS3 Barber, and now that young lady has ] no competitors. She will travel to ' California in company witli the pres!- | dent and his wife. For Stringed Instruments. Beginners learning to play stringed instruments have a great deal of trouble with the ends of their fingers | becoming sore until the callouses are formed, and even after the instrument has been mastered to some extent the j muscles of the fingers may be weak, necessitating hours of practice to at tain the muscular control .so necessary in mastering the violin. Then, too. the accuracy of the tone depends sole ly on the position the finger takes on the neck, and unless the ear is quick to catch the tone and remedy the dis cord the player is forced to spend much more time in learning to play. It has occurred to an inventor of Syr acuse, N. Y., that a keyboard could he utilised to aid the student in mastering FINGER HOARD FOR VIOLINS. the rudiments, at least, of this, difficult instrument. His invention is shown In the accompanying Illustration, to gether with a cross-section of the neck with two keys in place. It will be seen that the strings are threaded through the center and the action of the linger forces the string against ttie neck in precisely the same manner as though the key were not there. The device attains two results which should rec ommend it to the student. It insures perfect accuracy in the tone, and thus trains the ear to aid the player after the finger board has been mastered, and It aids in strengthening the mus cles of the fingers without the accom panying soreness. This soreness at the beginning would tempt the player to slight the pressure even if the mus cles were strong. After the ear be comes trained and the muscles stronger the keyboard may be removed and the player soon masters the remaining dif ficulties. 7*ox)erly JSo Handicap. Dr. D. K. Pearsons, addressing the students of Drury College. Springfield, Mo., a few days ago, said among other things: “1 am interested in young men who fight their way: I owe my strength and vigor to the fact that I began life poor." Thousands of successful, hale and hearty old men of this land bear similar testimony to the blessing of poverty In youth, and it is one of the many things Americans have to be thankful for that men like Dr. Pear sons, who began life poor, and who were compelled in youth to fight their way through the world against appar ently insurmountable obstacles, are not ashamed either of their humble origin or of the labor or the drudgery which fell to their lot. Torture Station*. Speaking of capital punishment, a writer in the American Journal of Sociology declares that the killing of criminals does not benefit society, while life imprisonment merely lays an extra burden on the public. By way of making the punishment for murder fit the crime he urges that every condemned murderer should he turned over to the doctors to be ex perimented upon until he dies. In sup port of this proposition the writer makes a long and serious argument. Among other things, lie shows how many hundreds of thousands of peo ple are dying annually of diseases which might he cured if tlie seientsts had a human experiment station where they could iry all sorts, of pro posed remedies. It does not answer the purpose to try new medicine upon animals, and the Idea of being experi mented upon Is not popular among patients. Here is the opportunity, says the writer, for making the con demned murderer repay a part of the debt that he owes to society. Let him be experimented upon with new se rums and potions until he dies. Make* Early Tli*injj X/nnece* ary. The illustration shows an automatic device for lighting fires, which lias just been patented. The object the in ventor has in view is to provide a simple contrivance by which a fire may be Ignited in the kitchen range at any desired time, so that the house wife is not required to rise early in the morninc and enter a cold room for the purpose of starting a fire. This device might also settle the question AUTOMATIC UIRK-UIOHTMNU. DE VICE. of who should get up and light the fires by eliminating it altogether. The arrangement consists of a rotary shaft actuated by a coiled spring, with an abrasive surface at one end and an ordinary alarm clock at the other, and a fuse or wick for leading the blaze from the matches to the kindlings in the stove. Schools of Forestry. In Sweden the state owns and cares for over 18,000.000 acres of forest lands. Schools of forestry are maintained an 1 the timber lands arc efficiently cared for by graduates of the schools, who understand how to farm the lands by preventing waste and profitably man ufacturing the product of the forests, carefully replanting where trees are cut down. As a result of forestry so managed all the cost of schools and caretakers is defrayed out of the prod uct sold by the state and the n*H profits are four times greater than the expenditure. Throne to Cloister. The wife of King Carlos of Portugal he decided to quit the throne and her QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. husband as well. She will enter a convent and devote her life and talents to educating orphaned children. She is very wealthy. Eh’evious to her mar riage to Carlos she attended a con vent. Organized Labor in the South. Labor organization is making some progress in the south, the movement • aving spread down the Atlantic coast states, finally reaching Florida. In the latter state representatives of the un ions gathered recently in Jacksonville and ostablislied a state federation of labor, affiliated with the American fed eration According to the local press there was a very large attendance. | SAYINGS and DOINGS 1 blo45om/~' By ManKtll Puiu Little girl!
