sons who are so early in the season
beginning the destruction of gardens
and flower beds along Willowbank
street, and that section of the town,
residents of the locality are asked to
take the names of children or grown-
ups seen trespassing, in any way on
property in that neighborhood. Par-
ents should be responsible for their
children, but if not, those who are
guilty of such misdemeanors should
be treated as incorrigibles.

HOW “ROMOLA” WAS WRITTEN
George Eliot’s Immortal the Result of
an Inspiration and Much
| ed Hard Work.
The scene of “Romola” is the Flor
ence of the fifteenth century, and the
plan of it came to George Eliot in the
course of an Italian journey, “one of
those journeys that seem to divide
one’s life in half so many new ideas
do they suggest, so many new sources
of interest do they open to the mind.”
Having fixed on her scheme, she re-
turned to Florence, visiting the old
streets, rummaging ancient boOKS,
seeking to impregnate herself with the
spirit of the venerable city. But she
was still far from her goal. When,
on her return home, she at last set to
work, she saw its difficulties rising
before her. Would not her genius de-
gert her when she left the familiar
scenes of rustie life in the England of
today for foreign countries and past
ages? She despaired more than once,
gave up her task, then took it up
again, plunged (conscientiously as she
did everything) into historical studies,
and brought forth in sorrow a kind of
moral tragedy which even the reader
cannot behold without emotion.—Ed-
mond Scherer.
SCULPTOR’S USE OF CEMENT
Gigantic Figure of Neptune Is Work |
of Art as Well as Architectural
Curiosity.
es.
At Monterosso, near Spezia, Italy,
there stands an architectural curiosity
—a gigantic figure of Neptune, con-
structed of cement and used to support
the extreme end of a terrace for a sea-
side villa. The house is the Villa Pas-
tine, and the statue is the work of Ar-
rige Minerbi, a talented sculptor of
Rome.
A small promontory on which the
villa is built presented many difficul-
ties to the architect, but he finally suc-
ceeded in building there a very com-
modious and comfortable residence.
The statue, which is wonderfully life-
like, is about 33 feet in height. The
body, which, like the head, is built of
re-enforced cement, is hollow, and con-
tains a spiral staircase. Considering
the nature of the material with which
Signor Minerbi had to work, he is to
be congratulated on the result of his
labors.
“All For a Song.”
“He has sold his future for a song”
they said of a rich man’s son who, in-
stead of taking advantage of the un-
usual opportunities open to him for a
worth-while career, was whiling away
his golden years on the Great White |
Way.
“All for a song” has come to mean
to us “paying too much for a whistle,”
any undue sacrifice or waste for some-
thing that is worthless or only of
transient moment, particularly the
superficial.
It has come down to us from the
day when its significance was literal.
As a token of her appreciation of the
poet, Edmund Spencer, Queen Eliza-
beth ordered Lord Burleigh to present
him with £100, which in those days |
was a small fortune. Upon this Lord
Burleigh is said to have exclaimed
“All this for a song!”
Penn and Land Buying.
The story that William Penn bought
from the Delaware Indians as much
land as a dozen bulls’ hides would
cover and then cut them into narrow
strips to cunningly enable him to trick
the Indians by encircling a vast stretch
of territory is not true. This is a very
old story. It was told in remote times
of Dido of Carthage.
that Dido built that city after buying
as much land as a bullock’s hide would
cover. She cut the hide into strips,
getting a large bit of real estate in
the transaction. The story reappears
in the case of the Dutchman in Irv-
tag's “Knickerbocker,y who bought as
much land from the Indians as Ten-
breek’s trousers would cover. But
Tenbreek had on pairs of trousers
enough to cover the island of Manhat-
tan.

Coal Sense
Our idea of the Coal Market is that
while it may not go higher it will
surely not be any lower for a long
time to come. Therefor it would be
wise for you to lay in your winter coal
supply now and forestall the danger
of a rise in price when the regular fall
demand sets in. Besides, you can get
it free from ice and snow and now we
will have time to screen it and deliver
to you in the best condition.
Considering the uncertainties of the
coal market the coal in your cellar is
worth more than the money that
would pay for it is in your bank.
If you want coal let us know your
needs and we will do our best for you.
