Th Part Mary Garden Found to Be the Very Hardest. 3iary Garden, the famous opera singer, rsays that it bores her to sing before kings. Her highly personal com ments cn some of the royalty of Eu rope reproduced below are taken from an article in the American Magazine in which she gives an intimate and ex tended account of hjr experiences on the stage: "Singing before royalty Is perhaps more ol a professional than a social distinction. 1 have done it many times, but it tores me to distraction. It is ach a nuisance. I never sang for the czar. But rdid sing before the English court, the old court of Edward and Alexandra. The king slept through it all, as heavy a sleep as I have ever seen. But the queen would always pat his hand at the time to applaud and he would vake up. "The king of Greece, a brother of Alexandra, was a special friend of mine. He used often . to come to where I was singing. He told his sister of hts admiration for me, and she bad me come to Windsor to sing. While there I would sing and courtesy and walk off again. 'I am afraid I'm an anarchist in my heart. X don't love to courtesy. There are some who are not kings such as Marconi, who has done big thingsto whom I would go down on my knees because of their achievements, but I Just hacl to get my courage in my two hands to courtesy to the king of Eng land. It went against me. ADDING MACHINES. Thy Are Not Newr as Pascal Invented One In the Year 1642. The adding machine Is of modern de relopment. but not a modern invention, a passable one having been invented In 1042 by Pascal (1C23-1GG2). a cele brated French geometrician, philoso pher and writer. Later, In 1671, the adding machine was modified to facili tate multiplication by Gottfried "Wil helm Leibnitz, a German mathemati clan of great achievement, and his in vention was followed by many Im provements. A notable experimenter in this line was Charles Babbage (1792-1871), an English mathematician, many years professor of mathematics at Cambridge university. In order to secure accu racy in tables of logarithms he con ceived the idea of doing the work by machinery and was commissioned by the British government to superintend the construction of a machine for the purposes. He spent much time and money In experimenting and attained some remarkable results, but died be fore perfecting his machine. All calculating machines contain cer tain features devised by special refer ence to the work to be done. Including circular metallic disks, wheels with teeth,, etc., ingenious, but not more complicated and no more responsive to human Intelligence than many other machines. The thinking is all done by the operator. Philadelphia Press. The Australian Blacks. It is believed by many persons that the blacks in Australia are dying out As a matter of fact, says a correspond ent of the London Standard, no such thing is happening. The belief, how ever, is easily explained. As civiliza tion advances, and it Is yearly advanc ing, the blacks recede farther and far ther into the back blocks and unknown country, save a few who nave acquired the craving for opium or drink. Thesf latter succumb amid the advancing wave of civilization and seldom leave any children. Those who have passed inland, if they do not lncsease, have certainly not decreased. In some few cases whole tribes have died out when civilization has reached them, but these have usually been small tribes. Foundation of a Fortune. The late William Gibson, who left a fortune of half a million pounds, was, when a little watchmaker in Belfast, one day examining a watch which had been sent to him for repair. It was during the time of the Belfast riots. A stone was thrown through the shop window and hit Mr. Gibson In the eye. Under the malicious damages act Mr. Gibson was awarded 6.000. This was his start In life. London Sporting Times. First Thanksgiving Proclamation. The Thanksgiving proclamation was originated by Francis Bernard, "cap tain general and governor in chief over his majesty's province of .the Massa chusetts bay." It was issued Nov. 4, 1767, and the form was that which has been in suostance adhered to ever since. Formosa's Ancient Tree. In Formosa there is a tree between 2.500 and 3,000 years old, with a circum ference of sixty-five feet and the low est branches forty-five feet from the ground.

Dispatches mention "clouds of cavalry" screening theGer- man advance. Parties of uhlans scout i far and wide picking up information j which is sent back to the main body. J From East Prussia, from Galicia and j from Belgium come reports of cavalry ) engagements. That troopers are the eyes and ears of armies is an old say ing that is being verified every day. The aeroplane is very valuable, and so is the automobile, but neither displaces the cavalry. Cavalry can act on the In formation they gather in an Instant, they can see and strike simultaneous ly. Plowed ground that might stall an auto is no obstacle whatever to capa ble cavalry int3lligently commanded. All great armies cherish their mount ed troops, and make provision for re mounts. If the cavalry competition depends on the supply of horseflesh Russia has a great, advantage over all other European nations. It is esti mated that within the czar's dominions are more than thirty-three million horses, two-thirds of which are in European Russia. According to the latest available statistics Germany has 4,500,000 horses, France about 3,300, 000, Austria-Hungary 3,800,000 and Great Britain nearly 2,200,000. The United States, with more than 2 0,000, 000 horses, is admirably qualified to become a great cavalry country.

" t w E ALL realize that when there new-fangled tango or the old must pay the fiddler. We cannot have music without paying for it, nor can we havo much of anything in this world without paying for it If we expect any person to do something for us, we expect, naturally, to do something in exchange for such favors as we receive. If we accept favors, but evade the responsibility qf making any returns for them It will not fca long before we discover that the unpaid for favors become curtailed. Probably we become provoked, after the favors have stopped, and ac knowledge our own stupidity.

Many of u in this community devote more or less of our time to. the raising of produce of various kinds. 7e have vegetables, butter, egg3, mill:, etc., to sell. i " ' We find It a convenience to sell such products in the local stores. Gono of our business, men buy up the small quantities, aa well as the larger lots, and ship all together to the more central markets. This facility for disposing of snch articles is a great convenience o us. If the local storekeepers did not buy our produce it would bo difUcult for ti3 to find : a market. In fact, there would be no market for email quantities except at ruinous prices. - . . Therefore we are favored, to a very considerable extent, by th a fact that our local storekeeper stands ready to buy from us. This places U3 under certain obligations. The local storekeepers are entitled to some considera tion from us in return. HOW MAN Y OF US APPRECIATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THI3 FACT? How many of ua think of this when we have some cash to spend?
