NOTED LONDON HALL

Where English Journalists Entertained Roosevelt Important In Former Days When All British Publications Had to be Entered for Copyright Purposes. London.—Stationers’ hall, where Mr. Roosevelt was the guest of the Institute of Jouranlism on his recent visit to London, was ereeted in 1671, and In the hall Itself are hung the shields on which are painted the arms of the members of the court of assistants. It was customary in bygone times for the freemen of the company on state occasions to carry the shields from the hall to Blackfriars, which journey was made by way of the river, and then on embarkation the shields were hung over the barge’s Bide. The freemen were clad in long gowns of light-blue flannel, with yellow facings, being the proper livery color of the company according to its heraldic bearings. The Worshipful Company of Stationers keeps the registers of copyright works from the date of its incorporation in 1557 until the passing of the copyright act in 1842 the jeompany possessed an absolute monopoly, as all printers were obliged to serve an apprenticeship to a member of the company, and every publication, from a Bible to a ballad, was required to be "entered at Stationers’ hall.” In their interesting collection Is a notice of the first translation into English in 1569 of a "boke intitutled Ewclide.” Mention Is also made In the register for 1688 of Sir Philip Sidney’s “Acadia,” written to please his sister, the countess of Pembroke. There is an entry in 1562 of the following comprehensive work: “An abstracte of the Ceneologe and Race of all the Kynges of Englonde from the floude of Noe Unto Brute.” As a compliment to Mr. Roosevelt the composing stick used by Benjamin Franklin when working at a case in London and resting upon a pedestal

Athletics for Young Girls

New York City Authorities Officially Recognize Necessity of Such Training. New York.—Athletics for school girls have been officially recognized in New York city. Last November, Miss Elizabeth Burchenal was appointed inspector of athletics by the department of education. The girls’ branch of the Public School Athletic league employs five assistants for Miss Burchenal and supports In all eleven after school classes In folk dancing and athletics for girls. The popularity of these classes is Indicated by the attendance —1,051 teachers from 246 schools. These teachers in return for the Instruction they receive coach the girls’ athletic clubs organized In their own schools. Interclass athletic competitions are held, blit no Interschool competition Is countenanced by the girls’ branch. This'spring about two hundred athletic meets will be conducted. New York city has 325.000 school girls, whom the girls’ branch endeavors to bring wholesome and joyous recreation. The girls’ branch work has come to form an integral part of school life, making it mqre real and human. It welds about the community, the home and the school a solid bond of beauty. Folk dancing and athletics for girls have taken a strong grip upon the consciousness of the community. A little girl nt>t more than seven years of age. In an east side school, took part In • friendly competition of folk

draped with the stars and stripes was placed upon the table immediately in front of him. One of the most notable features of the supper to Mr. Roosevelt at Stationers’ hall was the speech of E. T. Cook, a prominent London newspaper man. It was he who retired from the editorship of the London Daily News because, in his judgment, the management sided with the Boers rather than the rßitish in the late war In South Africa. The speech was full of humor and friendliness to America and repeatedly stirred the audience to shouts of laughter and applause. Mr. Cook was scarcely less happy and successful at Stationers’ hall than was Lord Curzon attheSfaeidonlan th eateiV Gxford. lEord Curzon can be rigid and frigid in his public appearance. Welcoming and eulogizing Mr. Roosevelt, he was flexible, graceful, genial and delightfully eloquent. He spoke without notes and handled his Latin as if he, like the audience and especially the undergraduates, thoroughly appreciated the joke.

Farm Hand Leaps Into Water Just In % Time to Rescue New Jersey Youngster. New York.—Small Harry Montague came precious near being drowned at Brookdale, N. J„ the other day. The team of dogs he was driving ran away and carried him and his “dog cart” In the Morris canal. Jonathan Garrabrant jumped in and dragged Harry, senseless, to the bank.' Montague, eight years, of Little Falls road, Upper Montclair, took out driving Willie Slatey, six years. They started after cherries at a house on Passaic avenue, Brookdale. The sun was hot and soon Harry’s dogs, Nip and Tuck, were panting; their tongues lolled out. thirstily. As they neared the canal, they sniffed the water and dashed for It

dancing and athletics between her class and others of the Bchool. She was the smallest tot of them all, and clad In her plaid skirt —the plaid of her Highland clan—she danced the “Highland Schottlsche” with an abandon and enthusiasm that could not be equaled. Her whole family came to see her and to exult in the pari, that she had in the competition. The Highland girl and the Highland dance won the day. The little one and her mates of the triumphant class each bore home as trophies small copies of the Winged Victory, which have been provided through the generosity of Mrs. Henry Siegel. Two days afterward this little girl was seen on the street In company with her three-year-old sister, teaching the little .one the steps of her national dance.

Berlin.—There is a notion among physicians as well as toymen that spinach is the vegetable which is richest in iron. This Idea is erroneous, says Prof. Haenset, a German scientist who has completed a series of experiments showing that it Is cabbage lettuce which contains the greatest amount of Iron, while spinach comes lowest in the list Professor Haensel maintains that imtatoes are more ferruginous than spinach. Food specialists say the human body requires dally a quantity of iron, estimated at three-quarters of a milligram.

AUTHOR ON TOMATO RATIONS

Barry Pain, Noted English Humorist, " Underwent Poverty Period After Buccess. . London.—Barry Pain, whose new “Eliza” stories are to be published shortly, is undoubtedly one of the most popular of living humorists. After leaving Cambridge university, Mr. Pain became a classical tutor at a “crammers;” while there he sent an article to the Cornhill called “The Hundred Gates.” It was accepted promptly by James Payn, then editor of that periodical, who, furthermore, sent the young author a very kind letter. The cleverness of this article attracted the attention of Sir Francis Burnand and Wemyss Reid, editors of Punch. Mr. Pain’s subsequent contributions to Punch and The Speaker were so successful that he resolved to come to London. Then came “a period of romantic poverty,” a period in which he lived on bread and tomatoes and in a laborers dwelling. It was during this time that Mr. Pain received a visit at the laborer’s dwelling from the pompous butler of his editor with an invitation to dinner.

Harry yanked on the reins but could not stop them. The little wagon hit a stone and Willie Slater, who was on the back seat, took a further back seat on the road. Splash!—lnto the canal went wagon. Harry, Nip and Tuck. Harry fell out of the wagon, but pluckily held on to the reins. The dogs, lapping th* water and greatly enjoying their bath, swam up the canal, towing Harry, his head under most of the time. Garrabrant, in a field near by, heard Willie Slater’s yells, and went to the rescue. As Garrabrant plunged in Harry dropped the reins and sank, but Garrabrant grabbed him; he soon revived. Having satisfied their thirst Nip and Tuck climbed out of the canal. Willie Slater took a stick to beat them. “Let ’em alone. Willie,” said Harry. “It was all my fault; I ought to have watered my horses.”

GERMANS CUT YANKEE GRAIN

Russia Will Furnish Bulk of Product This Year—High Prices Are Not Felt. Berlin.—A great reduction in the Importation of American grain into Germany is predicted by members of the Berlin grain exchange, who do* Clare that this year the German consumer is N practically Independent o i the United States as a source of sup* ply. Noting the fact that the recent sharp advances In the American market failed to produce any material es feet on the Berlin exchange th* bourse expert of the Tageblatt says that the reason may be found in the exceptional conditions which enable Germany to rely almost entirely upon other countries. While American wheat has gone up In consequence of the general rise In all commodities, the Russian crops are expected to be large enough to cover the entire German demand at lower prices. Hence, adds the writer, the Berlin exchanges are responding more readily to price conditions In Russia than to the fluctuations In the American markets.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE

“In Dowlais, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as It itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. “The doctors did their best, but their, remedies were of no avail whatever, .Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. lam glad to tell you that after a few days’ treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. “I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas. Hugh, 1650 West Huron St, Chicago, 111., June 29, 1909."

An Easy Fit.

A number of years ago there lived in northern New Hampshire a notorious woman-hater. It was before the day of ready-made clothing, and wanting a new suit, he was obliged to take the material to the village tailoress. She took his measurements, and when she cut the coat, made a liberal allowance on each seam. The man’s dislike of women in general prevented his having a fitting. He took the finished garment without trying it on. It was much too large, and his disgust was apparent in the answer he made to the friendly loaflr on his first visit to the postoffice, when he wore the despised article. “Got a new coat, Obed?” said the loafer. “No, I hain’t!” said Obed. ’Tve got seven yards of cloth wropped round me.”—Youth’s Companion.

How He Kept the Law.

“I noticed,” said the friend-who-could-be trusted, after a trip through the factory where preserves are made, “that a white powder is first put in the cans, and that Cher preserves are then put in the white powder.” ■"Yes,” explained the proprietor to the friend-who-could-be-trusted, “that White powder is a preservative. You see we are compelled to put the preserves in a preservative because an idiotic requirement of the government makes it unlawful for us to put • preservative in the preserves.”

The Home of the Cod.

There is Just one other great eod bank in the world besides those off Newfoundland. It lies off Cape Agulhas, which is the southern tip of Africa, and south of the Cape of Good Hope. The Agulhas plateau Is said to be almost a duplicate in size and richness of the north cod banks. But this is too far off, so there is little promise of its appeasing the hungry appetite of the world for cod.

“Mathilde Browne was very rude to an overdressed old woman she met on the street the other day.” “I know the story.
