Miss Margel Qluck, Whose Violin Playing Brought Her to the Notice of the Royal Family of Roumania. American girl, Margel Oluck, has been receiving high honors in Bucharest at the court of Queen "Carmen Sylva." Although good fortune gave her the same name as the German composer, Miss Gluck was born in New York state, and is the daughter of James Fraser Gluck, at one time attorney for the New York Central railway, and donor of the famous collection of manuscripts at the Buffalo public library.

She is the granddaughter of Charles Mellen Tyler, emeritus professor of Cornell university. It is about six years since W. Grant Egbert, principal of the Conservatoire of Music at Ithaca, N. discovered among his girl violin students one who seemed to be making unusual progress. This was Margel Gluck.

Prof. Egbert recommended her to try for the conservatoire violin scholarship. She did so and won it. Afterward he advised her to go to Sevcik, the famous Bohemian violin teacher at Prague. The Sevcik school at Prague was inundated with applications for admission, and violinists even of the better ranks were turned away by dozens.

Miss Gluck's application failed to bring her even a response. Disappointed but not discouraged, Miss Gluck and her mother left for Europe, going first to Berlin early in the spring of 1903. Meanwhile Prof. Egbert himself went to Prague to take some lessons from Sevcik, and through his intercession the long-looked-for appointment came. Sevcik heard her play, accepted her as a pupil, and she became one of the first violinists in his orchestra.

After completing her studies with Sevcik last spring Miss Gluck went east, instead of coining west, as is usual with new-fledged musicians. In the beautiful city of Carmen Sylva, Queen Elizabeth of Roumania, a reception at which she was guest of honor was arranged by the American minister and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Knowles, and here it was before some of the best amateur musicians in Europe that the American girl made her debut. Shortly after this reception Mr.

Knowles received an Intimation that Miss Gluck would be received at the palace of Cotroceni, which was designed largely by Crown Princess Marie, from whom the command came. Many given by music-loving royalty to music artists are of a private or semi-private nature, but the young American girl was formally presented at the court of the crown princess first and then was invited to play for the princess and the distinguished assembly present. Early in the morning on which she was leaving Bucharest Miss Gluck and her mother were surprised by a call from M. Dali'Orso, the queen's secretary, and himself an amateur musician of no little reputation. He was the bearer of a private message from the queen expressing her regret that serious illness had prevented her from hearing Miss Gluck play before she left Roumania.

With the verbal mes'-age was a photograph and a note written by the queen, although when she wrote it she was too ill to sit up. It read: "With my deepest regret not to be able to hear you, being ill in bed. I hoped to be well sooner, but I'm afraid the illness is not over. I can't even sit up in bed. I'm so sorry! "10LIXABKTII." Just before leaving Roumania Princess Mane sent to Miss Gluck a large photograph of herself which she had autographed.

From the quoon she had received a copy of the most successful portrait of her majesty taken in recent years, and from Mile. Helene Vacaresco, the queen's intimate friend, who has shown her much kindness, Miss Gluck m-eived a rare photograph of the queen and Mile. Vacaresco together. Way of the World.

Wifey's Economy That Drew No Praise from Husband. There was a pensive look fn Mrs Compton's charming eyes, but she smiled across the table at her husband when he asked her if ha felt too tired to gc with him to a concert. "I sup pose you have been busy packing all day," he said, thoughtfully. "Oh, yes, I've been busy," she said with a little sigh, "but I feel satisfied, for everything Is packed now, except the last things, that can't go In the trunks till to-morrow, and besides that I have done something I'm sure will please you, Henry. It will show you that I'm really learning to be thrifty and economical like you." "I should like to hear what you'Ve done," said Mr.

Cornpton, with as serious an air as his wife's. "I knew that the battery In my little electric lantern would not begin to last till our vacation was over," said Mrs. Compton, "and yet it didn't really need 1o be recharged yet. So rather than have that spark wasted, I went Mnto the library at dusk, with all the curtains drawn and the shades down, and Just sat there In the dark--or it would have been dark except for the lantern. I mean--and pressed one finger after another on lantern button, changing fingers as they got nuinb, till at last the spark gave out.

So now 1 can have It recharged to-morrow with a clear Companion. ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEM AS SOLVED IN GERMANY. BEAR NAMES OF GREAT MEN. Famoue Cognomens Borne by Those of Humble Occupation. The question of what to do with our great men after they have ceased to hold high office is effectively answered in the New York city directory.

According to that unimpeachable authority, George Washington is pursuing the humble but very useful occupation of a barber In according to his customers, he is a good one. Andrew Jackson, whose name has heretofore been associated with notable military achievement, follows the peaceful calling of a nurse. Abraham Lincoln Is put down as a secretary, William McKinley as a publisher, and James Madbon as the secretary of an Important corporation. James Monroe is a machinist; Benjamin Harrison a printer; William Henry Harrison a fireman, and Andrew Johnson a sail- maker. Thomas Jefferson is appropriately in charge of a Tammany clubhouse; John Adams is a policeman, anil John Tyler proudly figures as a The Child the Hope of the Race.

There is nothing in tho world so important as children, nothing so in- iore-wfing. II' you ever wish to go in tor some philanthropy, it' you ever vish to be of any real 'use in the Aorhl, do something for children. If ever yearn to be truly wise, children. We can dress the ooro, bandage the wounded, imprison th'i criminal, heal the sick and bury the dead; but there is always a that we can save a child. If lie great army of philanthropists ever sin and pestilence, ever 'ork out our race's salvation, it will bacanse a little child has led them.

a i Starr Jordan, Appreciates Teachers' Work. One woman says that when her children bring home their school reports at the end of the month she always finds five minutes in which to write a personal letter to the teachers. If there is something that the children have learned that surprised her she writes a note of thanks and appreciation, and if the reports are unsatisfactory she writes offering to help the teacher in any way she may puggest. Needless to say, the teachers are as any one will know who has ever taught How the Ruins Go. "I thought," said the American who vas seeing Europe for the first time, you people had a lot of interest- in' old ruins over here." "Once we had such things," the native apologized, "but jour heiresses have come over and had most of them put in good Observer.

A House That Wae Built on a Hillside and a Garden Laid Out to Match it, with Similar Detaile in Both. New York the architect or the landscape gardener should supply the plans for the garden of the new house is one of the questions raised during the recent revival of interest in gardens. As a rule, the formal rococo gardens are much less Interesting to the average owner of a country estate than the less formal kind, since they are out of place except in connection with elaborate houses. Even the smallest garden of the regular rococo style requires also a house of some architectural pretensions belonging to the same period aa the garden. Illustrations of the incongruity arising from failure to observe this rule are seen in many country houses to which the owners with more recklessness than taste have added formal rose gardens.

When these houses are plain white colonial structures the incongruity is particularly disturbing. When the garden is far away from the house the case is different. It is when the garden is regarded as a part of the house that uniformity between them Is most important, even essential. The view printed here exhibits a garden which was regarded as so much a part of the house with which it was connected as to be of the nature of parlors in the open air. It gives a striking idea of the extent to which architectural means may legitimately be used In a small garden.

The house Is situated in the Rhine country in Germany. It is built on the side of a steep hill commanding a beautiful view over the valley to the mountains lying on the other side. The garden terrace is on a level with the house. It is built up from the side of the hill and the atone garden wall is more of a necessity than garden walls usually are. The wooden wall and gate Terrace Garden Where Only Architectural Treatment Is Possible.

at the end of the garden are also architectural necessities, since the terrace ends here. The proximity of the garden to the house has made it necessary for the architect to treat it as a continuation of the dwelling. So the lattices for the vines against the wall, the arbor, the benches, all these carry out the color scheme of the house. On the top of the upper terrace is the kitchen garden. Here the architectural treatment is of a wholly different kind from that demanded in the rococo garden.

There are no straight paths, no evergreens cut into the form of chickens or less easily identified animals. The only solution of the problem of a garden perched on the side of a steep hill was through its architectural design. Such a garden bears almost as close a relation to architecture as the house itself. It Is the skill of the gardener combined with that if the architect that brought about so interesting a detail as the foundation and pool standing under the silver poplar tree. It Is improbable that a design with its details so closely related as are the details of this house and garden should be the work of more than one hand.

The situation is different in the case of the average country house, and the New York architect who puts up a country house does no more than settle on the general plan of the garden--what position it is to hold in relation to the house, what its size should be and something about its general character. Even his decision on these points is likely to be in the nature of a suggestion, for the landscape gardener is the final authority. Some New York architects have certain gardeners who do all their work and co-operate with them on plans. Yet in this case the architect assumes no responsibility for the work, allowing the practical gardener to have all the credit as well as the blame in case the owner is not pleased. Wireless Stations for Pacific Coast.

Plans have been completed by the United Wireless Telegraph Company to erect 11 new wireless stations on the Pacific coast. The largest, a five- kilowatt station, will be erected at Ketchkan, Alaska. Seven will be erected on the transpacific steamships and three will be land stations. All except t.ie five-kilowatt station will be one-kilowatt or two-kilowatt installations. At present transcontinental communication is only possible when the conditions are most favorable.

No Cause for Complaint. "Landlord," said the boarder at the summer resort hotel, "you advertised that you had 'good fishing' here.

Bllnkey is always hoping that something will turn up. He's an intelligent man and he knows perfectly well that there isn't one chance in seven hundred and eighteen thousand billion that he'll ever get a dollar that he doesn't work for and earn; and still he's always hoping and thinking that something might happen. And BO when he gets to the office In the morning he looks in the letter box there, not really with the expectation of finding a fortune, but nevertheless thinking that there might be something; not disappointed if there isn't but wishing that he might find there a check for a million dollars, from somebody or somewhere, or notice of some fortune that had been left to him that he was now to come and claim. It's just the same when he goes home at night. He's been away alt day, time enough for 40 things to happen, for 40 fortunes to come in.

and ho knows there hasn't any come, and still it is not an absolutely impossible thing, and so he's always kind o' hoping that he'll hear some good news when he goes home. He never does, he finds everything going along there placidly; there hasn't been any fortune sent in or brought in by Uncle Sam, and he knows they'd speak of It if there had been; but sometimes he says to Mrs. Blinkey, jokingly: "Anybody leave us $2,000,000 today?" "No," eaya Mrs. BHntey, smilingly. "One million?" "No." "Half a million, maybe," says Mr.

Blinkey. "No, nor half a million," says Mrs. "Perhaps it was a hundred thousand dollars. We could do with that" "No, nor a hundred thousand." "Not a dollar?" says Mr. Bllnkey.

"No, not even a dollar," says Mrs, Blinkey. "Well, then," says Mr. Blinkey, "I guess I'll smoke my pipe," and he does this right cheerfully. But he's always hoping. Twain Btnancipated.

Oxford university is not the only seat of learning that has conferred an honorary degree on Mark Twain. A similar tribute was paid to the famous humorist and philosopher not so many years ago by a humble institution at a sleepy Missouri village that had known him when he was playing Tom Sawyer there in real life. It happened that the degree-conferring ceremonies took place one lazy day in June when newspapers general ly were suffering from a total collapse of everything in the way of news. One Park Row news editor raked the land with a figurative fine-tooth comb and got a dry haul for his pains Then, recalling that Mark Twain was getting his honorary degree that very day in his native hamlet it occurred to him that a message direct from the famous author might relieve the situation in the news. After much scratching of the editorial Idea factory he evolved this query, which wag trans mitted to Mark Twain by wire: "How does it feel to be a doctor of laws? Please wire answer at our expense." After a wait of several hours this characteristic response came hot over the wire from Missouri: "It feels like emancipation from ignorance and vice.

A writer in Town and Country tells the following tale: 1 "Mr. Heavyweight," said the minister, "is willing to subscribe $10,000 for a new church, providing we can get other subscriptions making up the same amount."

Old-Time Flying Machine. Thomas Walker, portrait painter, published at Hull, England, in 1810, "A Treatise Upon the Art of Flying by Mechanical Means." Walker constructed a flying machine based upon his studies of the flight of birds.

It was a boat-shaped contrivance, with a long, projecting beak, also a long tail be- hing, and a pair of wings worked by levers controlled by the hckids of the sitter. If this machine was ever actually tried no records of results are now tractable. Density of Population. Although there is a certain area of ahout three and one-half acres on Manhattan island where the density of population is at the rate of 630,000 to the square 113He, yet the city of Paris shows a far greater average density of population than New York, the figures for Paris being 79,300 a square mile and for New York city proper 40,000 a square mile. The average density of London's population is 37,300 a square mile, and that of Berlin is 67,000.

Few Are Buying Pearls. The pearl trade of Bombay has depreciated in value in the last season, ft is there that the pearls are finally collected by the jewel merchants.

CAPT. QAD8EN PERFECT! DEVICE TO CORRECT FALSE HORIZON. Relatively at Valuable Sextant- All Reward Inventor Seeks ia to Know Ht Hat Made Ocean Travel Safer. has been presented to the bureau of navigation of the United States navy an ingenious device to aid in taking observations to determine a ship's position, and which, if adopted, will not yield, and is not expected to yield a dollar of profit to the inventor, Capt.

H. A. Gadsen, a retired mariner, now enjoying the comforts of life ashore at No. Blnden road, London. Capt.

Gadsen's invention Is as important relatively as the sextant itself. The Japanese navy used it in the war with Russia, and to its employment the commanders of eight ships ascribed in a large measure their ability to surprise the enemy. Divested of its technical nomenclature, the invention, which is called the "spanner intended to correct a false horizon, which the navigator dreads almost as. much aa he does the uncharted sunken rock, for he may be carried many miles out of bis course, and not infrequently to a dangerous ambush, in the pathless lane be is following. Ever since the time when the hardy Norsemen ventured out of sight of land, guided only by a rude compass, dependence has been placed upon the sea horizon for those observations of the celestial bodies which enabled the navigator to fix his position upon and shape his course across the vast expanse of the oceans.

When the horizon is obscured the observations cannot be taken, and reliance--uncomfortable and uncertain--has to be placed on dead reckoning, the heav- For Lack of a Better Reason. It's likely that many a fellow who to scarcely able to take care of himself marries a gill on the theory that she will be able to help him do so Capt. Gadsen and His Instrument. Ing of the lead line and the cries of the lookout. This is the case even when the sun or stars are shining brightly and only the horizon is obscured.

The great danger, and which has lured many a good ship to her destruction, is the counterfeit horizon, which appears so clear and well defined that it will deceive experienced navigators --men who have been deceived before by the same false assurance that they were looking upon the real horizon. Secure in the belief that his "sights are good," which is the nautical way of saying that the safety signals are set, the mariner stands boldly on hie course only to find that he is several miles out of his reckoning, and has made a bad landfall. The false horizon at sea is as cruel a deception by Damp Nature as the mirage on land which presents to the thirsty traveler a limpid stream almost within reach of his hand. The spanner horizon is so called because it exactly spans the periphery of the sun's image reflected on the horizon glass of a sextant when day observations are taken. It carries a central wire for night work, on which a star, a light ashore or afloat or other email object may be brought in line.

On the darkest nights the altitudes of the stars may be taken with the spanner. In the daytime, when the horizon is obscured and the limbs of the sun are brought between the legs of the instrument, the altitude of the sun's center is obtained and the true horizon is established. Capt. Gadsen invented the instrument after his retirement from an active seafaring life. Its value as an aid to navigation was recognized by English mariners and it was suggested that a company be formed for the manufacture of the auxiliary to the sextant, but Capt.

Gadsen, who is middle-aged and "set" in his ideas, would not consider the proposition. The satisfaction that he will derive, and all he asks for, is the approval of the navigators who find his invention to be practical and helpful. He would rather know that a hundred ships had laid a true course and avoided danger with the aid of his spanner horizon than to receive a hundred thousand guineas. Old People Make Merry. In recently published reports of the fair which took place at the Home of the Daughters of Jacob, New York, mention was made of the chief usher, a "lad" age 105 years, and of the "girls" who sold candy and lemonade, although they were only 108 and 107 years old.

Some doubt was expressed as to the ages of these inmates of the home. Albert Kruger, the superintendent, said that there was no exaggeration. In Bohemia.
