Jealousy Proved Fatal to English Musician Certainly the most destructive of human emotions Is that of jealousy, j With the exception of love and war nothing seems to be so provocative to I the green-eyed monster, who seetnS to have the faculty of consuming all those who admit him to their souls, its music. A list of the famous mtudcal jealousies would be interesting. It I would run Into the hundreds. <»i|’ra 1 companies ure usually nests of jealousy. Possibly one of the most famous cases of musical pralousy Is that of , Henry Cooke, deceased (1672). Cooke was u tighter who gloried In the term of captain. He joined the king's army and fought bravely, it Is said, but when the commonwealth came Into existence be was obliged to make his living teaching music. Eventually he became gentleman and master of the children when the chapel royal was es- , tabllshed again In 1660. There he had as bls pupils no less than Purcell, John Blow an<f Pelham Humphrey. Humphrey so closely imitated the work of his muster that after some time he was able to supplant him In his state position. Captain Cooke flew Into n rage of jealousy, and this continued until In his death notice there appeared the significant line, “died of jealousy.’’ Great Statesman Had Genius of Invention Thomas Jefferson, signer of the Declaration of Independence anil third President of the United States, was of tin Inventive turn of mind ns well hr being a fairly good violinist and something of a scientist, remarks the Detroit News. On one of his tours of Europe he was struck by the bad construction of the plows In use by the peasants of France. The moldboard, a device above the share to turn over the earth, he decided, required redesigning. He spent the greater part of his leisure time for two years evolving a moldboard that would be most effective. ■ Satisfied. at length, that he had succeeded, Jefferson sent a plow equipped with his new device to the Royal Agriculture Society of the Seine. A medal which the society awarded him —for the plow proved to be all he had hoped so him tSi New York, and 18 years later, the society sent him a specially made plow containing his improvement as a token of appreciation for what he had done for agriculture In France.

“Cates” Word Little Used The word "cates," meaning dainty foods, Is probably never used except In poetry, and seldom there, yet we cull the person who caters for our fooii a caterer, and in that form the word Is of ever.V|day occurrence. It has come Into some prominence lately In connection with the fifth centenary celebrations of the famous Dick Whittington, whose fame rests more solidly on his possession of a rat than upon any municipul honors which came to him, observes London Tit-Bits. There have been all manner of learned discussions as to Whittington’s cat, one of which pointed to the probability that this city merchant had a ship called the Cat. But the late Professor Rowley of Bristol was perfectly sure that “cat" was' an libbrevltlon of this <dd English word “cate," meaning pnXlslons, which survives, even in our geography, in the Uate river nt Plymouth. The Century Plant The belief that the century plant blooms every 100 years is a myUi, according to Pathfinder Magazine. The flowering of this Interesting plant depends upon the climate and rapidity of growth. In warm climates such as Mexico and Central America, the origin#! home of the century plants. I hey grow rapidly and usually bloom about the seventh of eighth year, seldom later than the twelfth. In colder climates the period before bloom Is' much longer. Some authorities say that In hot houses 80 to 100 years may elapse before the plant flowers, a fact which prolHtbly gave rise to the «fntury myth from which the plant gets Its popular name. After flowering the century plant dies down to the ground. However, new plants arise from lateral buds. Flowers of the Desert Arizona deserts have their own flowers. In places the supply Is abundant, the growth large, the flowers when In bloom of marked beauty, the big yucca and the sotol, both members of the Illy family, showing beautiful bloom on tall and stately stalks. Ono of the Interesting desert growths Is the water cactus, so named because Its great stalk, from five to ten feet high ami as large In circumference as a barrel. It has a heavy pulpv covering from which It Is possible to squeeze goodly amounts of water, and Indians and travelers are quick to turn to the cactus when water supplies are short, says the Detroit News, Simply Couldn’t Dorothy, nged five, hnd been given A pretty bine-silk eash and the first day she wore ft she was constantly running to her mother to have It tied "Why.

<► Appropriated Grandfather’s | Deserted Home li»■i■tr t r ■ » g t y | By JOHN ST. CLAIR »4a I»Z4. Western New«p«p«r I niun.) <»T7 LLIS, there is our home," - o-i -EL Dorothy Milford with conviction, pointing to the old colonial building at the end of the village street. “I wonder how much it would cost us, Ellis?” whispered Dorothy, dinging to Ids arm. Ellis Milford was a hard-working clerk in ovie of the big Insurance offices, and their home had been only a four-room flat in the dusty city, but every Sunday they had gone forth from the metropolis dreaming of just such a place as this. The house had been untennnted for many years, and it was rumored that the owner resided in England. No, there had never been any effort to rent it. It would be hard to do so, anyway, because nobody wanted an old-fash-ioned house when you could get n brand new one on the installment plan At which information Dorothy's heart beat high With secret joy. “You see, Ellis, it is my English blood," she explained. “You know grandfather was an Englishman, and though I never saw him, 1 know I have Inherited his taste for just such an old-fashioned hlnie." Dorothy’s grandfather had settled In America and calmly disinherited his son, Dorothy’s father. Still. Dorothy always attributed all the English traits In her disposition to this semi-mythical person. “Dorothy,” exclaimed her husband, “let's go Inside and have a look around I saw one of the window shutters was nearly off its hinge, and I believe the window behind It is broken." It was broken. Ellis climbed through and, standing Inside, swung Dorothy Into the room. They wandered from room to room. It was true the Interior was In poor condition Hut still the house was habitable, and a little money Invested judiciously would turn it Into a very comfortable abode. And, the greatest find of all, in the attic there was old furniture, all sorts of " Ids and ends which would go far toward the furnishing of the less showy rooms, at least. “Ellis," said Dorothy, in a tone which even three months of married life had taught him to attend to, “we must have this house." “You ain’t going to live there, are ye?" inquired a villager who watch' d them emerge through the front gate with 111-concealed interest. “Yes, we have rented this place from the first of next month," Dorothy answered. “Well, I swan!” exclaimed the yokel. “Dorothy,” said Ellis reproachfully, when they were out of his hearing. “But. Ellis, I meant it," declared Dorothy, almost crying. ".My dear, we are going to have the rooms papered and the windows mended and move in on the first. And when the landlord calls to make trouble for us we’ll have the rent ready for him." Dorothy’s words proved prophetic, for on the first day of the month following a motorvan stopped In front of the old house and Dorothy superintended the disgorging of the furniture. “They’ll turn us out," said Ellis, when they were settled at their fireside, gazing admiringly upon the new-ly-pattered walls. “Not If we have the rent, my dear," said Dorothy. Summer came on and soon the garden was ablaze with flowers. Ellis could hardly wait for the dock to strike to leave bls office. And ns the months rolled by and the neighbors took their occupancy of the house as a matter of course, their fears gradually dwindled until— Until that Sunday morning when the strange man came walking up the midtile drive. The newcomer was an Englishman, hut he appeared much less angry than Dorothy and her husband hud anticipated. In fact, his first words were decidedly apologetic. “I’m sorry to trouble you," he said, and I don t know, of course, what your title will show; but the fact Is there ts reason to believe that this property Is part of an estate which I have come over from London to handle on behalf of the heirs. It seems to have been forgotten, ns the owner did not enumerate It in his will. You have your title-deeds';" No. Ellis had no title-deeds. In fact he was so equally embarrassed that h( ! blurted out the history of the aequlsl"Most extraordinary I Most extraordinary!" said the visitor. “What tribute to the—-er— masterful habits of your great nation your action Is NowIn my country, nobody would ever drenni of taking a house he fancied—’’ "Perhaps yom- countrymen aren't so quick with the rent," sold Dorotln >ou see, we have four months' ull ’ ready for whoever the landlord is " "My dear young lady, I thought i explained to you that he was dead ’’ replied the other. “He was an eee ( .' n trie character, old Mr Rnmuel Loft--Whtt!" said Dorothy, rising nn ,. s arlng hard at the visitor. "Who’s Ids granddaughter? Quick!
