"Every kitcheu has a window wltb one pane out in the Brazilian town of Rio Grande do Sui." said a cook. "That town is a servants' paradise. Servants live in their own homes there, as they should everywhere. They come to work at 7 in tbe morning, and they quit at 7 at night, a twelve hour day. Quite long enough. The paneless win dow is for the milkman, the baker, the butcher, so that these traders cau leave their supplies they usilally come early in a safe place. The Rio Grande servant is. of course, not there to re ceive them. She is in bed at her own home." Sizing Him Up. An eminent Scotch astronomer tells this, excellent story against himself. He once explained in a lecture that a certain star looked- no bigger than a threepenny bit u hundred miles away.

Report Has It That Effort Is Being Made to Raise Money - Among Business Men. Are Moline , baseball fans and pro moters after a berth in the 1914 cir cuit of the Three-T league?

THERE'S SENTIMENT IN JESSE TANNEHILL 7 v-cV V7 Jesse TannehilL There must be romance and senti n'ent in the soul of Jesse Tannehill, the old left hander. Twenty years aso he was pitching in the Virginia league, and it was from the Virginia league that he went to the fast com pany where he remained so many sum mers. Now, in the twilight of his ca rer, Tannehill has written his old Vir ginia club for a position. He states, and it is true, that he has good offers to go out as a scout, or to manage and play on various minor clubs; but that his heart yearns for Virginia, and that he would like to finish his base ball story where it began. Still able to pitch good ball, keen . of thought, seasoned and sharpened by 20 years of diamond work, Tannehill, like most wanderers, wants to go back to the scenes of his youth at the last and the old pitcher will very likely get his wish. If so, Tannehill, this sum mer, will be the only vestige of the ancient clul) owners president, man ager and players have all gone, and of the whole array he alone will re main as a factor in the game'. - ' TOLSTOY WANTED BLOOD. His Quarrel With TurgenefT and the Reconciliation That Followed. Raymond Recouly in the Paris Fi garo gives the following account of an early encounter between Tolstoy and Turgeneff, which shows the Rus sian sage in a different frame of mind from the one in which the world has since come to know him: It was on the estate of his friend, the poet Fet, near Yasnaya. Turgeneff was among' the invited guests. The hostess inquired after his daughter, who was being reared in France. Turgeneff spoke highly of his Eng lish governess. "With a truly British exactitude," he said, . "she requested me to fix-the sum which my daughter might spend for charity. And now she teaches her pupil to mend the ragged clothes of the poor." . "And you consider that a good thing?" nsVed Tolstoy. "Certainly," replied the other. "It brings the benefactor into direct con tact with the persons whom be Is helping." "On my part, I think that a well dressed child who handles dirty and ill smelling rags is playing a hypo critical and theatrical farce." "I must ask you not to speak in this way," exclaimed Turgeneff, with menacing looks. "Why should I not say what I am convinced is the truth?" remarked Tolstoy. . "You think, then, that I am educat ing my daughter badly," and, while Fet was Interceding. "If you will talk In that way I shall box your ears." Then he left the room, begging his hosts lo pardon his abrupt departure. Tolstoy also went. At the neighbor ing station he wrote to Turgeneff de manding an apology. He ordered pis tols and tried to provoke his rival to a duel. Turgeneff's answer, very digni fied, brought the apology demanded by Tolstoy. He closed by saying that he thought it best that two men with such opposite tempers should hence forth break off all relations. Tolstoy, carried away by his auger (it was in 1SC1). declined to be satisfied with R-jeh an answer. He felt that he had been gravely offended. He demanded reparation by arms. He therefore re peated his provocations. His friend Fet. who attempted to pacify him succeeded only in drawing from him this vigorous reply: I be of you henceforth not to write to me any more. I shall return your letters un opened, the Knuie as I do with Turge neff's." A fter these occurrences Turge nelT returned to France, where he passed the greater part of his time. Some mantlis later, ou reflection. lo( stoy regretted his violence. Seized with remorse, he sent Turgeneff a let teT asking his pardon.
