MUSIC IN COST OF LIVING Inhabitants of Densely Populated Flats in New York City Begin to Take Alarm. Opening wihdows on the first warm days of the year bring a warning that this will probably be tbe most musical season New York has ever seen, says the Evening Star of that city. The apartment-house court has / always been cosmopolitan in its musical tastes and prone to prodigality in Its volume of .more or less musical sounds in summer, and thlfr-linlgjdtt appears that not only are alt’lKe /femg meh' home from thd army hili ttyat the big'll cost of everything has Wiwj^ade (lid apart ments more denselj&WfnhubiKd and more contimioisly so ifhin -evtir before. The*-magnets are larking that once drew folk away from home in the eve ning. Beer Is negligible ns a corner attraction. The movies are more ex pensive and more, tiresome. Soda bears a war tax paid by the dispenser and also charged to the consumer. Home lias become a rather forced haven for all and music is being over worked in an attempt to relieve its tedium. Tliis season we have with us, appar ent ly, not only the phonograph and the player piano—those resources of the musical and unmusical alike—but (here is also an apparent return of the child who practices on the piano. New Source of Platinum Supply.

Illuminated Traffic Cop. With a view to solving the difliriil- tles that beset motorists and traflic officers on Boston streets after night fall the officers of the First motor corps are conducting experiments throughout the city to make a traffic handler visible to drivers as well as to pedestrians. An experiment demonstrated that with tbe help of three light bulbs, which burn- continuously, white bands crossed on bis breast ami long white gauntlets, a traffic officer can lie seen by inotorists even at the busiest and darkest of corners. One of tiie lights is placed*on the traffic guard's hat and tbe other two on bis shoulders.

Plane Lands on Street. Thousands of spectators _ lined the curbs of a business tlmroughfara in Oakland, Cal., some weeks ago as a result of the announcement that an airplane was to hmd and take off from the street.

Skidding here on (lie slippery asphalt, the plane - grazed a lamp-post, swerved to tiie curb and damaged ifs tail skid. The accident was trivial, but served ns a warning to the authorities, who promptly forbade the take-off.—Popu lar Mechanics Magazine.

The ugliness of the peacock’s feet Is a matter of remark In classic lit erature. Reference is even made to it In fables. Which is Illustrative of . tho ease with which mistaken Ideas are circulated and maintained. For the fact Is that the peacock’s feet are not ugly at all. They are rather handsome than otherwise.

Lucky and Unlucky Days* There Is an old belief among the superstitious that a favor asked of any person on the fourteenth day of the month will be granted. The Chinese begin nothing on the seventh day of the month because It Is supposed to be unlucky. m Her Idea of It. Myra had heard much about broth er's being cross on account of cutting tooth, and appreciating the honor of hoing allowed to push Ids perambula tor In front of the house she was quite prepared to answer an Inquir ing woman ns to Ids crying, which she did thus: “Me thinks hlm’s got a mad on. but maybe It’s ’cause hlm’a hatcldn’ leef."

The Value of a College Education There never was a time when expert knowledge was so highly prized and so high ly compensated. ! ligh wages for untrained labor will tempi manv a young man to discount the value <>i a college education. Hut such an education, representing the work of four years, viewed merely as an investment of time and of money, is equal in earning capacity to an es tate of more than $50,000. What cstaty comparable with this can the parent of average means hope to give or leave to his son? What young man can ac quire that much value in the same time at am other business? Education his one for a life whose possi bilities are limited only by his capacity and character. Eventually for the untrained there awaits the slavery of ignorant and un directed effort. Glciitson College brings within the reach of every voting man in South Carolina the benefits and possibilities of a technical edit cation. At Clunson College a hoy front the humblest home in South Carolina can pre pare himself for a high place in the service of hL state and nation. \\ . M. RIGGS, President.
