Liszt was in the habit of smoklnj one cigar a day. But that one cigai 1 was an exceedingly choice one. Whei he was starting on a journey he tol( his valet how many days he would b< away and his valet put into the valis< 1 a corresponding number of those Vir * ginia cigars. 7 Once when Liszt was going to Ital: : the chief customs officer at the fron ' tier post of Chiasso asked him if h< ' had anything to declare. The musi clan, with his thoughts centered oi his music rather than his cigars, madi 1 signs to the effect that he had noth ' ing. The officer opened the valisi 1 without the traveler agitating himsel * over the search.

"No, my dear friend," said Liszt "I have taken a vow never to smokt " again so as not to expose myself i second time to such a humiliation." Ricordi says he kept his vow. Oth ' er authorities recall Roger's visit t< ' the virtuoso In 1870. "Liszt smoked and offered me i , cigar," said Reger, "and while I tool my ease he walked up and down sending out clouds of smoke in th< ? direction of certain terra cotta fig ures." i : HAVE CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE l Present Generation Is Optimistic ai to the Doings of Those Who i Are to Follow. t / ' > If these Is any one thing which mon than another distinguishes this gener - ation from all those generations o I which we have record it is that th< i people of^tbA day are vastly mon - than"they are In the pastf And the: 1 are excessively optimistic about It Where once a lot of fuss was mad< about the achievements and the hlfl t character of the ancients the tall - now Is of the wonderful folk still un [ born and of the marvels it Is takei for granted they will perform.

I The Evans i i i Meanings changed by time 8tudy of Word Building Through Centuries Brings Out Many Most interesting Points. Word building is afe much a piece of carpentry as is bouse building. Only it takes longer. Sometimes a century or more. And by that time the word's first meaning is usually changed. For example, the old word for "neighbor" was "sib." One's good neighbor was known as one's "good sib." This became shortened to "godsib," and later to "gossip." Then the word's whole meaning changed and gossip no longer meant good neigh-1 bor, but applied to the sort of talk exchanged between good neighbors. Take the word "farmer," too. The old word for "farmer" was "boor." /a- j ?1 m ua #ak /to. (AQU uuur mier nao uocu >ui uv scribing farmer-like or rough per sons.) The farmer living nearest tc one was known aB the "nlghbor," and this phrase, in course of time, wae twisted to "neighbor." You've heard the proverb: "Little pitchers have big ears." Well, it doesn't refer to the utensil that holds water or goes to the corner side door. | "Pitcher" was a slang term with some ; Buch meaning as our word "chap" or "fellow." Thus, "Little fellows have | big ears" is a more sensible rendering of the proverb. STONES THAT SEEK COMPANY Peculiarity of Small Rocks of Nevada Hrau/a Th?m Tnnothrr an by a Magnet. "T-avel'ng stones," from tbe size of a pea to six inches in diameter, are found in Nevada. When distributed od on a floor or other level surface, within two or three feet of one another, they immediately begin to travel toward a common center, and there lie huddled like a clutch of eggs in a nest. A single stone removed to a distance of feet, upon being released, at once started with wonderful and somewhat comical celerity to join its fellows. These queer Btoncs are found in a region that <s comparatively level and little more than a bare rock. Scattered over this barren region are little basins, from a few feet to a rod or two in diameter, and it is in the bottom of these that the rolling stones are found. The cause for the strange conduct of these stones is doubtless to he found in the material of which they are composed, which appears to be loadstone or magnetic iron ore. jj^ STAY SHAPELY W^$. leir shape after as well as IpJ eal teat of clothes quality.

It has. been observed that a man is. seldom sick when his bowels are regular?he is never well when they are constipated. For constipation you will find nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They not only move the bowels but improve the appetiteand strengthen the Jige. tion. They are sold by all dealers. Domestic Science. fl The Chicago woman who advertised for a domestic, and offered a weekly auto rido as one of the inducements, got but one reply. She was requested to send a photograph of the chauffeur so that it could be determined whether the place was as attractive as desired. Aa the lady's husband himself drives the car ther'photograph was not. sent, and there is search In otherdirections for a domestic.
