MUOC\IIII stponed Trophy Trade Agricul lational 243 ane ‘Adde V ds 10M 2M »d Ay it n t > 3t it ‘ Jenny Lind When Barnum brought Jenny Lind to the United States, the whole counâ€" try went mad over herâ€"egged on, of course, by the master showman. But there were pious persons who did not accept her. One such, Mrs. Niles Wadsworth, wife of the village blackâ€" asmith of Cornwall, Connecticut, has been rescued from oblivion by Emanuel Sceovillie, Jr. Here is the story: Jenny Lind was no beau and well she knew it. Once inquired of her concerning of Swedish women. "All the Swedes are beautiful," . she replied. "It is seldom that one sees anyone like me." Yet when she began to sing an exâ€" traordinary change come over her, She was transfigured. She became beautiful, Many eyeâ€"witnesses testiâ€" fied as to that. Most important of all (says Mr. Wagenknecht) is her own observation in this connection: "I became a different body,r diflerent soul." Stuttgart. â€"â€" Important ~rehistoric finds made in a cave near Ulm inâ€" elude the skull of a man from the Auriâ€" gnoacian period. ‘This is the first one found in Germany, the only others in existence having been discovered in England, France and Austria. The cave, situated in the soâ€"called Swaâ€" bian Alb, was discovered by accident, and the Prehistoric Institute of conâ€" ducting the excavations. In the enâ€" trancée to the cave paleolithic tools and bones were found. The cave disâ€" closed itself as a neolithic burial place, the finds including ceramics, bandâ€" mills, flint weapons and the bones of mammoths, â€" rhinoceroses, . wild horses and cave bears. The most important finds, in addiâ€" tion to the skull from the Aurignacian period, some twenty t» fifty thousand years ago, include orticles from the first millenniums following that perâ€" lod. Among them are ivory needles and other implements of eight differâ€" ent types, mammoth teeth and spearâ€" heads of bone and ivory. Of especial importance also are the remnants of carvings representing men and aniâ€" mals. The excavations are continuing and further important discoveries are expected. Niles planned to travel down to New York to hear Jenny. If he went to hear a play actress, his wife warned him, she would never speak to him again. He did and she didn‘t. They lived together after that for over twenâ€" ty years, but he never spoke a word to him from that day on, even when bhe lay aâ€"dying. Once some Americans actually sueâ€" ceeded in forcing their way into her drawingâ€"room, says Mr. Wagenknecht. Jenuy entered, stiff as a poker, and asked them to state their business. Somewhat abashed, they replied that they had simply wanted to see her, to make her acquaintance. "Well," said Jennyâ€"she was very sensitive, "here is my front‘" and she made a profound bow. Then turnâ€" ing about, "There is my back. Now you can go home and say that you have seen me." Wit> which, abruptly, she left the room. Yet, after they had gone, she was overwhelmed with reâ€" morse for her rudeness. Jenny Lindâ€"perhaps the most faâ€" mous singer who ever lived, and reâ€" cently the subject of a film playâ€"was once engaged +o be married to an Engâ€" lishan, Claudius Hatrris, a captain in the Indian Army, but broke the engageâ€" ment because he wen* to sleep while she was singing} Another suitor was Hans Christian Andersen, the immorâ€" tal â€" but painfully uglyâ€"writer of children‘s fairy stories. When Anâ€" dersen‘s perpetual wooing became more than ordinarily distasteful, Jenny reminded him of his extreme unlikeâ€" ne#s to Apollo by #llently handing him & mirror, says Edward Wagenknecht (in his life of the "Swedish Nightinâ€" gale.") Which shows that she out sense of humor. And the reason she gave for her reâ€" fusal to sing in Paris was this: "I am too ugly. It is impossible for me to have any success in Paris." Skull 20,000 Years Old Mary Borden in Harper‘s Month‘!y (New York): Joh:. Bull makes a bad. impression on strangers because he doesn‘t care what impression he| makes. He is difficuit to know beâ€" cause he doesn‘t want to be known. Confirmed and contented pessimist, his wants are few; one of them is to be left alone. lt is . ot in philosophy.‘ science or art that his genius lies, but in the conduct of humahn affairs. He is a practical, unconscious Sociali.qt.‘ He respects that queer animal, man, and his special contribution to t slow, lumbering evolution of the buâ€" man race lies in that phase of civilâ€" ized life most intimately connected with a natural, healthy man‘s needs. The Englishman has learned, among other things, the value of quiet and the high value of courtesy and hfw_iqj ly give wa7 to others. These are the inâ€" signia of civilized man.

"The Loyal this year is designed to commenrcrate its founding ani inauâ€" guration ten years ago, when in the depression that followed the war it helped so signally to restore confidence to Dominion agriculture generally. Since its ‘birthday‘ at that time it has established itself as an institution to which Canadians all over Canada have pointed with a . very considerable pride. "Although general conditions last Noventber were anything but favorâ€" able, 1930 was the Royal‘s record year, not only in exhibits and attendance, but the spirit of the people at the show was happier than at any preâ€" vious event. We feel sure that the spirit of optimism at that time has served a very useful purpose in that it has enabled Canadians better to view recent economic adjustments with equanimity. We believe that a similar result will be secured at the fothcoming Royal Winter Fair, and be more roticeable perhaps on account of tie greater cortrast in conditions. i he Royal is entering upon its new cycle under conditions which perinit it to perform a service to Canada in influencing the general outlook and state of mind of the Canadian people, apart altogether from its influence upon agriculture The aim of the management is that everyone who visâ€" its the Royal and everyone who exâ€" hibits there shall be better equipped to meet whatever problems may cross their path in the immediate future."

Bert Brodie, a commercial traveler, was known to hbe somewhere in the western section of the province. Twelve cities and towns were called before Mr. Brodie was located. _ Within two hours he was at his boy‘s bedâ€" side. Upon the return of the father tke boy began to show improvement. _ The telephone bridged the gap! However, such is the persistence of Long Distance operators that when an urgent call has to be put through and complete information about the location is lacking they "follow through" as long as there is any hope of completing the call.

Headlee, entomologist of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiâ€" ment station, has discoyered that these moths will not lay eggs on the trees in daylight or if it is colder than 60 degrees. Accordingly he has had elecâ€" tric floodlights, with "electric eye" control, installed in a large ofchard, together with themostats to cut the floodlights out of circuit at temperaâ€" tures below 60 degrees. The depression has hit the insect world. Oriental peach moths and codâ€" dling moths which infest certain New Jersey peach and apple orchards are worried about the state of affairs. The clectric eyes turn on the floodâ€" lights at dusk and turn them off at dawn, To the surprise of the moths it now never gets dark in that orchard except in very cold weather and then they are too torpid to lay. Conseâ€" quently the next generation of moths in that region seems likely never to be born and the orchard men believe they have found an economical method of eliminating these pests.
