VOCATIONAL NIGHT SCHOOUS OPEN Experiment to Be Made by Public School Authorities Here.

"To give a chance at vocational education to those who can not attend regular day Bchool" was the reason assigned Friday by the board of educa'tlon In announcing the establishment of a night school to be conducted under the supervision of the Richmond high school faculty. The success of 'the night school depends now, say the educational authorities entirely on the support it receives from the community, and will be put into operation at once If the demand warrants it. . The most novel feature of the plan devised by the school board will be to conduct a class in study of the automobile making. Some experts will bf engaged to handle this class, and they 'will also be required, in addition to demonstrate all divisions of the work, to instruct the pupils how to assume full control of an automobile, caring for It, making repairs, and running it. Other courses in commercial work, fnechanlcal drawing and langunges, frltt be started if enough scholars apPrincipal I. E. Neff. of the high iicbool, who has been appointed by the feioard to have charge of the new lnJptltution, said today that he believed (he night school to be one of the great, leeds of the city. In his opinion. It should prove popular with working len and boys, for only a nominal tui tion fee will be exacted, and expert In struction by the high school faculty ind other experts will be given. This Is the first time in Richmond's history that the public school officials have undertaken to touch people who can toot devote their whole time to classes, fend the effort will be watched keenly By persons interested in educational Wetbods throughout the state. : Don't forget !

Gaffney bad mad an oratorical detour for the purpose ol paying tribute to the memory of Patrick H. McCarren and had just corns back to the main issue. "Anyway," be declared and thumped the bar, "Gaynor will be elected the next mayor of New York." -He won't," replied Mulligan. "He's as good as out of the race now. There's too much ego in his cosmos." Gaffney solemnly set down his glass. "Has he been toldr he asked. Sure," said Mulligan. "I'm sorry to hear that," replied Gaffney. "but If hell take my advice he'll not go on the operating table. He'll tay away from the doctors and take his chances of living to fill out his term."

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

Feeding a Family of Five on $4 Week. "My husband." said the woman with the optimistic face, "gives me 94 a week for keeping up the table for our j family, and it is simply wonderful ; how we do It." i "I should think so," observes the woman with the grim smile. "How big a family have you?" "My husband, myself, three boys and one girl." "And you keep up your table with f 1 a week? What do you have?" "For breakfast we have a cereal, fruit, coffee and sometimes bacon and eggs; for luncheon cold meats or croquettes or something made of the leftovers from dinner the night before and a simple dessert; for dinner we have a soup, chicken or roast meat, two vegetables, a salad, coffee and a dessert." "My goodness! What prices do you pay for groceries and meats?" "Mercy me! I never ask. I Just telephone to the grocer and meat man and tell them what I want, and my husband gets the bills the first of the month." "Rut I thought you said he allowed you only $4 a week?" "So he does, and by charging nearly everything, do you know, I actually save $8 or $10 a month from that allowance!" Judge's Library. THE ENGLISH NAVY. Fighting Ships Used to Be Hired Out In Times of Peace. In the earliest times of the British navy there was practically no distinction between the merchantman and the man-of-war. In the rare times of peace men-of-war traded as merchantmen, while merchantmen always went armed. Thus in time of war the trader became the warship, and vice versa. From the time of the conquest and probably earlier down to the clays of Elizabeth this was the ordinary practice. Elizabeth hired out 6hips of the navy for all sorts of purposes, from piracy to slave trading, taking her share of the profits when the venture was successful and disclaiming all responsibility when it wasn't. Henry III., who niny be described as the originator of the navy as n special fighting force, hired out the ships specially built for the navy lu times of peace and even allowed them to be taken away from their appointed stations provided that the hirers depos Ited due security for the return of the ships with their tackle and all equipment in a proper state of efficiency The prnctice ceased after the repulse of the Spanish armada, when the fighting ships, as such, became distinct from the trader. London Globe. Plant Misers. All leaf buds, whether underground or on the bare branches of winter, are plant savings put aside from the superfluity of summer against the proverbial rainy day. The starch of which such organisms consist is to the plant what his savings are to the prudent man, and the common potato Is one of the greatest misers of the vegetable world in this respect, for almost the whole of the tuber is made up of starch food, left as a legacy to the young plants represented by the "eyes." This is true of ail plants that grow from bulbs. Some go further, for they run a savings bank In the shape of a taproot, which, if left undisturbed, grows larger year by year, to be drawn upon in seasons of drought when other means of subsistence are exhausted. Among these are primroses, carrots, beetroot and turnips, and with these three last this faculty of saving has beeu devel oped by man to make the plants source of profit to himself. Anticipation.

HIS TAPESTRIES.

The Gems the Collector Bought and Showed to the Export. That the collector falls Into a trap occasionally Is shown by an episode which we recall. An enthusiastic purchaser of old tapestries was ouce offered in Paris a masterpiece executed on a large scale and held at a large figure. Consulting an expert, he was urged to buy, but the sum demanded seemed to him at the moment a good deal to invest In a tapestry, and he let the opportunity pass. A year or so later he met his friend, the expert aforesaid, and asked him to come to his house to look at two tapestries he had Just secured. "They are smaller," he said, "than the one you advised me to buy and which, to tell the truth, I have always regretted, and I paid twice as much for them as I was asked to pay for that glorious piece, but while it seemed a fearful lot of money to spend I simply couldn't resist the chance." The specialist In tapestries walked Into the gallery of the proud collector and gazed upon his prizes. He gazed for a time In silence and then had to be very guarded In his speech of congratulation. He was looking at the original tapestry, which his friend could have had for half the money, now neatly cut in two and supplied with borders. He never revealed to the victim of this Ingenious little game what precisely had happened. New York Tribune. Sounded Queer. "All right behind there?" called the conductor from the front of the car.

BACH'S MUSIC. 8om Advice to How It Should Be Interpreted. The Interpretation of Bach must always be noble, broad and firm, rather too hard than too soft, explains Ferruccio Busoni. the great pianist. In the Delineator. Affected methods, such as a "soulful" swelling of the phrases, coquettish hurrying or hesitating, too light staccato, too smooth legato, pedal

debauchery all these are vicious and, out of place here. If used with a proper sense of proportion a certain elasticity of the tempo, giving the interpretation greater freedom, will improve the playing of Bach materially. The modernization of Bach's compositions by such masters as Liszt and Tauslg and many others is accepted by all clear thinking musicians as not derogatory to the master's style. It affords rather a completeness of expression. Witness the fact that Raff has orchestrated Bach's "Chaconne" without making it seem ridiculous. Many others have followed with happy results IJafTs example of arranging I Bach's music for the modern orcbes- ! tra. I The ease with which Bach's music J lends itself to this adaptation is proof ! of his comprehensive genius. He was not for his day. but for all time. Bach's "Prelude" and "Fugue No. 10." important and not too difficult, show the many sided branching of the present day piano technic. The legendary tradition of playing Bach without the use of the damper pedal is obsolete. His Object. Wigwag What, roses! Don't you know a girl never marries the fellow who sends her flowers?

History of Anatomy. The way In which we are so "feai1 fully and wonderfully made" was largely a mystery to the ancients. 1 may be said that anatomical science was practically unknown prior to Aristotle. 3S4 B. C. Before that date nearly all that was known of anatomy was derived from the dissection of the lower animals. Aristotle did something in the way of science, but It was no until the time of the famous Alexandrian school, a century before and a century after the birth of Christ, that the anatomy cf man began to be fairly understood. The Ptolemies wen; great patrons of the science and were the first who enabled physicians free ly to dissect the human body, thusfrustrating the Ignorant superstition which had been so long compromising the welfare of humanity.
