It has recently been published, observes an exchange. Very different from her correspondence with Goethe, j when It Is a question whether the lady is indulging in fact or fiction, this j letter about Beethoven Is serious In tone. Beethoven had a “ so-called pride | that prevents him playing for the em peror and the dukes, who have in vain given him a pension; and It is the rarest thing in all Vienna to hear him j play,” she says. But he consents to j ploy for her when she tells him it I would be the joy of her life to hear ; him. lie “ seated himself at the piano, on the edge of a chair, playing softly with one hand, as though trying to ] overcome his aversion to being hoard. | Suddenly he had forgotten his sur roundings and his thought expanded Into au ocean of harmony.” She goes o n : “ I got to like this man tremendously. In everything that has to do with his art he Is so com manding and truthful that no artist dares to approach him.” $10,000 buys a fully stocked and going ranch and only $4,000 to put you in possession of the place.

Alex McNair & Co., wu— DAIRY RANCHES Prices Range up to 830,000 At one time the general use of canes or walking sticks was forbidden In Rome by Imperial edict, except to per sons of patrician rank, thus making It a privilege which came to be popular among the nobility and eventually a distinction. The women of that time carried them also, their richly and ar tistically decorated canes serving as a rod for punishment of their slaves. The cane appeared In England as the badge of aristocracy In about the fifth century, but after serving this purpose for some time came into the hands of the bumbler classes and was dropped by those of higher social standing. It was re-established In Its »rue form by the pilgrims and soldiers returning from the Holy Land during the Crusades, and soon came Into pop ularity again. O ur large stock is in every instance the best that can be had r ! , It Is a well known fact that paper exx'osed to light will become yellow ish within a comparatively short time; and even when kept In storage where light does not rpach It, It will undergo gradual deterioration. Investigations by Doctor Kletr.m demonstrated that these changes are due mainly to the presence In the paper of mechanical i wood-pulp or llgnlflcd fiber, although they are met with also in paper col ored with dyes that fade under ex posure to light. In wood-free papers the fading Is found to be due to a for mation of soapllke compounds of Iron with rosin and fatty substances. The greater the amount of these com pounds present, the more marked the yeltowing of the paper. A mixture of ether (two parts) and alcohol (one part) will remove the soapllke matter. —Popular Science Monthly. T u ilion F R E E . L ib ra ry ot SO.C 0 0 v olu m e s.

M To the world the Persian gulf is an unknown water, a landlocked arm of the sen where slave trading, gun run- ning and pirnty survive as legitimate occupations, with a coast of towering cliffs and desert wastes, where yellow- sands rise In waves ami float in stifling cloud* of heat—a region whose ob scurity and perils guard and screen mysteries and romances that date buck to the beginning of nutukiud.

Again, centuries pass in darkness. Then come the adventurers of the West, the Portuguese, Dutch, French and English, thirsting for the fabled weath of the Orient, beating for a time upon these shores, then passing on to further conquest, leav ing the gulf a mere backwater of west ern civilization strewn with the flot sam and jetsam of humanity. To the European statesman, however, the Per sian gulf is an issue fraught with deep significance in the struggle for world commerce and power In eastern poll- tics.—Louis A.
