*parnona Indeed, It knocks more often
at the door of the poor man's cottage
than at the entranoe of the rich
M&'i mansion.
Oer own generation Is just as fruitful
as any that are gone In examples
Of genius in humble life. Of our greateat
living poets, William Watson first
MV the light In a Warfedale farmhouse;
and John Masefleld, the latest
tar In the poetical Armament, found
his Arst Inspiration while working In
the Aelds. J. M. Barrie was born In
a Klrrlemur cottage, at least as humhbe
as the roof under which Thomas
Oesiyle. stonemason s son, entered the
world; and H. Q Wells, sou of a professional
erlcketer, served behind a
draper s counter before he discovered
the gold In his pen.
It would be an easy matter to name
at least a score of living authors of
repute for whom life has opened at
least aa humbly, without taking Into
aaoount such poets of undoubted, If
obacure, genius uk a. O. Williams,
h am merman; Joseph Sklpsey, the "pitmao-poet,"
and others, equally gifted,
who have earned their daily bread by
narrry work and farm labor.
It is, however, among musicians that
we And the most remarkable examples
of talent in unexpected places. Alleeandro
Bonci, the world famous singer,
was working as a bootmaker's apprentice
less than thirty years ago.
and when he abandoned the awl to
seek a fortune In his glorious voice,
hs was supported by friends, poor like
himself, who subscribed a few francs
each per month; and was so poor that
he was compelled to tramp eighteen !
miles a day, to Pesaro, and back, for
his lessons.
Caruso, at the same time, was wielding
a blacksmith's hammer; and was
serving as a private soldier when a
passing officer discovered the wonder
of his voice. Miss Stella Carol, when
Bhe was similarly discovered, was
sinking on a Hampstead pavement In
the chilly dusk of a winter evening;
M. Glorglni, the famous Italian singer,
when he was hawking fish In the
streets of Naples, and Heir Rontman
whan, as a huckster, he was taking
around vegetables on a wheelborrow.
M. Koussellere. the king of French
operatic singers, was, not so many
years ago working as a blacksmith,
"passing rich" on three francs a day;
MUe. Cavalleri was first known to local
fame as the prettiest flower seller
in Rome, and her wonderful voice
was first heard in Paris cafes, where
her reward was a few coppers a night
?Just as. long years earler, the great
Christine Nllsson, "Queen of Song,"
witched coppers from the frequenters
of 8wedish fairs by her nightingale
notes; and Miss ICvla Gwyn's voice
v as "discovered" when she was "pouring
out her soul in blithesome song"
in a baker's shop at Pwllheli.
And similar romantic stories are
told of many a musician whose name
today Is famous?from He it Fleldler,
the Polish violinist, who was discovered
by a wealthy Welsh lady in a
Tyrolese cafe-chantant, to Miss Marie
Hall, who but a few years ago, was
reaping a scanty harvest of pence by
playing In the streets.
Art, like music, calls her clever children
from the most unlikely places.
There are half a dozen living policemen
who have proved that they can
ply a skillful brush, from Mr. Jones
of Leeds, whose work has been honored
by the Royal academy, to P. C.
Rushen of the city of London force,
one of whose clever canvases may be
seen in the museum of the Guildhall.
Walter Marshall, whose normal work
is the repairing of electric tramcars.
has a picture accepted l>y the academy.
Nor must we forget Samuel
Hancock, the lxrndoc postman, who
some time ago gave em exhibition of
his pictures at the Dore gallery; or
Mr. Bloxall, a Somerset house porter,
whose clever painting has won much
admiration.

Dr. Franklin C. Wells, In The Human I?

Remove all rugs, heavy draperies

screen against them. The fly often re)
comes direct from carrion or excre- tn
ment and deposits all kinds of Qf
putrescent matter and dangerous
disease germs upon your food. He su
is a proven medium of communicat- '(jc
ing disease and should be extermi- ve
nated. Killing the fly is a good u,
thing to do, ut it is better to prevent
his coming by destroying his (lll
breeding places which abound in
manure and filth.
The mosquito is also a serious of
menace to health. In the Southern vj(
states the anopheles (mataria-bear- ap
ingl mosquito causes about 5,000
deaths a year from malaria and
500,000 cases of illness from the m.
same cause. tj0
Pay particular attention to the
selection and care of food. Beware Kr
of unripe or over-ripe fruits. Secure oa
fresh, wholesome vegetables. Deal (jp
only at markets which are Kept clean
and where the food is properly nj|
handled. tl1(
I Do not let refuse food stand about;
have it collected Immediately after an
jeach meal and put in a receptacle for
garbage which is kept tightly closed. jg

| Have the refrigerator cleaned at ro
least once a week with hot water j
containing a little soda. Ro careful no
to keep it free from even slightly delayed

; ideas in virile homely speech, j
mpelling as it is quaint. Recently ! jjQ
touched upon tlA present-day dis-jgg
pute of the drinking man and con- ftj|

Doubtless the grape-juice incident
gge8ted the subject and the bumpius
declaration of Colonel Roose- |
It In favor of buttermilk impelled '
r. Dooley to sallies of wit, but
latever the occasion we recognize
e truth of the statement that pubmen
are no longer boastful about
inking; rather they are desirous:
becoming known for sobriety, in
iw of an overwhelming sentiment '
ainst the consumption of liquors, j
Pause just here and think.
Only a few years ago the states- I
in and his toddy, the less ambi- j
>us official and his flask, were acpted
as commonplace. No one was |
eatly shocked. The sturdy farmer
lied on the county officials and*,
:htened the bonds of support by ,
p bottle; the business man took a '
p at noon, and the side boards held I
e narrow-necked decanters.
At fifty our men were red-faced |
d lear-eyed.
Today the sternest disapprobation
shown the man who drinks. So
lolly repugnant to present concepms
is the drink habit that Colonel
>osevelt went nenrly across the
ntinent seeking vindication in a
el suit of the charge of drunkenss.
But though this is true there is a
actice which is very steadithily incasing.
The beer habit among ,
ung men, the wine habit at social
therings and the ubiquitous punch j
wl at receptions.
We decry danger there. We do
t invite a per capita comparison of j
[Uor consumed now and that con- I
