He Turned High Hat Tragedy Into Work of Art " i An Interesting relic of Corot la to b seen In the gallery of a picture dealer , in me cuumpa ttiysees. it takes too form of a woodeu frame Inclosing a gray high hut of a style "now forgot ten quite." A curd explains thut "this landscape lu the vrowu of the bat Is guaranteed to be a genuine work of Corot" One sees io the but a ruptd study off the artist The artist has utilized the blue silk lining of the hat to improvise a beautiful sky of summer reflected In the peaceful water below. Upon the bank are three trees and a picturesque Saracen tower, while white clouds among the blue complete the scene. Readers must not Jump to the conclu sion that this hat landscape is an ex ample of the eccentricity of genius. ' It Is the result of whut appeared to be the fngedy of a "white" bat which belonged to a friend of the muster. The friend, calling on Corot, happened to pluce bis brand Dew bat near the eusel. in extending the bund Corot'o brush fell Into the bat, leaving an in delible mnrk. A cry of despair followed, not ex actly that which a high uutborlty has told us Is uttered when husbands or lap dogs breathe their last, but never theless it was a despairing cry, "My hat is spoiled!" "Not at all." said Corot. bursting into a hearty laugh. "1 will soon put that all right" The painter brushed away the daub caused by the accident, and In a few minutes the picture was com plete, and the owner of the bat left the studio with a much more valuable cbapeau than that with which be en tered. Londun Globe. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. It Ha Frequently Expelled Member Legally Qualified to Sit. Tbe assumption made In more than one daily Journal that the bouse of commons cannot expel a member who is "legally" qualified to sit Is not war ranted by precedent, tbe only authori ty to which the commons bow. says an English writer. . In the eighteenth century the south' sea bubble caused many expulsions, al though the members' defense bad not been heard in the law courts. One of the victims was Chancellor of tbe Ex chequer Alslable, credited with having bagged 250,000 from the public, in addition to expulsion, be was sent to tbe Tower and ordered to refund bis booty.' An Irish peer was expelled for directing a lottery, while for organiz ing a "charitable association" of shady habits Sir Robert Sutton and two oth ers were shut out in 1730. Steele of tbe Tatler was prohibited the bouse for "maliciously insinuating that the Protestant succession in the bouse of Hanover is in danger under her maj esty's administration." " But perhaps the oddest reason for closing tbe doors of tbe bouse of com mons upon a man is to be found In tbe case of Mr. Asglll, whose sin was that of writing a treatise "On the Possi bility of Avoiding Deatb."-Phlladel-phia Ledger. An Odd Inoident of War.' In the Philippine portion of hit, book "The MemnlinR of Twn Wnra" Henernl A !...

Upon trying to reload It woi found that the breech of the piece could not be opened, and it was laid aside to . be examined by daylight, wblcb was ' done in the presence of a number of us officers. Dpon forcing the breech open It was found that tbe base of tbe cop-1 per shell of the cartridge that bad been ' fired Just before the weapon bud been 1 disabled bad been shot away, while mixed all up in tbe breech mechanism we found the remains of the steel i Jacket and the lead filling of a Mauser bullet There was a very pronounced dent on the muzzle of the piece. What had happened was that while tbe man had tbe gun extended In the firing po sition a bullet had gone down the muz zle. This weapon is now In tbe Array Ordnance museum In Washington." BIRDS' NEST SOUP. Getting the Material and Preparing It For the Feast. Uninitiated people ure apt to think if birds' nest soup ns n most disgust iiiK slew of twigs, feathers and what nut. As a matter of fact, the nest used by the Chinese Is n very delicate, eniili:insini,ent. gelautlnous substance litillt by the swallow-like birds known as the Kul.-ingnne. The nests are found In the Islands about Slum and the Ma lay archipelago, nnd the harvest In a year will be about 18,000 pounds, val ued nt over $100,000. It used to be thought that the nest was formed of inspissated saliva secreted by the high ly developed glands of the bird. Now It is known that the nest Is made of a species of alga gathered by the bird. The season for harvesting the nests lasts from April until September. It takes three months to build the first best and Just before the epgs are laid tbe nest is stolen by the collector. Tho bird Immediately sets about tho build ing of a second nest, taking thirty days for the work. This Is also stolen be fore the eggs are laid. The third nest however. Is unmolested' and the birds nre permitted to rnlse their young, after which the nest Is taken and sold. In preparing birds' nest soup the nest Is washed In cold water and then cook ed for eight hours in n closed vessel, after which It Is mixed with chicken broth, seasoned and boiled for it quar ter of an hour. Occidentals who have tried the soup find It palatable nnd much resembllns chicken soup. Chi cago News.

Dr. and Mrs. Moore, who have Interested themselves In Miss Lyne's studies, have Just received this letter from D'AuvIgne, who heard Miss Lyne, his pupil, In her London .operatic Buccess: "It was beyond any thing that any of us ever dreamed of. The child was perfectly self-possessed and from her first note held the pub lic absolutely spell bound. In the sec ond act, she received seven recalls and in the third act, eight recalls, with loads of bouquets. At the end, the public refused to leave and called her out again and again, with cheers, and bravos. It was Melba 20 years ago, and it was what everyone Bald all around us. It repaid me for so much that has been hard and cruel In my own life. If I can use all that I have spent 20 years of my life in acquiring, I have at lenst been able' to pass It on to her. So my work has not been In vain'. How I wished you could have been there."

' Breaking the established rule of conducting dancing parties until mid night, the "Knights of the Single Life" a newly formed social club of young men last Thursday evening found It necessary to prolong the splendidly enjoyable evening until 1 o'clock a. m. and a greater majority of the many couples present remained until the finale piece. Eight young men gave the party, which by the way, Is the first of saveral, and it was something In the nature of a retalia tion to the Milem club and with the umart pace set by the Milem club had a hard row to hoe, expressing It In the homely phrase, to keep abreast with the fun always provided by the Milem ladles. But the verdict must be that the young men breasted , the Milem and added one more social event of far more than ordinary popu larity to the string of thusly described Informal dancing parties at the Elks' auditorium this winter.' The music satisfied everybody and If anyone did not enjoy himself the. complexion of his face Is unknown. , The knights of unmarried lire who arranged tne party and promise more. of them, shortly which pleases everyone of the fifty odd couples present Wednesday night were: j i .
