Not So Green as He Looked,

A green-looking granger, travelling
with wagon, took in number of boys
in an eastern town very neatly recent
ly. He would allow rope to be tied
around each wrist. and holding an ap-
pie in each hand, bet that while two
bystanders pulled the rope in opposite
directions he could bite first one apple
and then the other. He won every
bet with apparent ease, much to the
surprise of those who did not under
stand very simple principle in dyna-
mics. He was naturally stout, but the
trick lay in the fact that the man pull
ing on his right of course assisted him
materially in pulling against the man
on the left, and vice versa. 1t was
two against one every time; but the
mountaineer was always one of the

The Jew's.Harp.

The origin of the Jew's-harp is lost
in the long lapse Of time, and hat
hardly ever attracted sufficient notice
as musical instrument to be worth
the inquiries of musical antiquaries
In Germany it is called "Maul Har-
monica;" in Denmark. "Mund harpe;'
in Sweden "Mungiga;" in France
"Guinbarde;' in Italy, "Tromba," and
in the Highlands, "Tromp." The
Greeks of Smyrna call it, in imitation
of its sound. "Biambo." In the Meth
erlands and Tyrol it has for long
time been the delight of the peasants,
the laborers, and their families, and at
present it seems to be in exception
a. great favor in America, where an
Englishman has in Troy established
factory of these vibrating instruments;
and SO brisk has the business been that
another factory has been started re-
Gently where the commonplace Jews
harps are turned out in hundreds Of
thousands
The first noted performance on this
simple instrument is mentioned in the
memoirs of Nine. de Genlis, in which
is described the astonishing power on
the Jew's-harp of a poor German
soldier named Kock, in the service of
Frederick the Great.
However, it was reserved for Ger
man herdsman and laborer of the name
of Eulenstein to acquire all almost
European reputation as a player on
the Jews-harp. After ten years. close
application and study, he surmounted
a host Of difficulties, and attained O
perfect mastery over this intractable
instrument.
Mr.. Eulenstein appeared with great
est success at concerts, first in Paris, in
January, 1926, and later on in London.
in June, 1926, where he executed with
"grace and expression the most charm
ing Italian. French, and German airs
to the great admiration of amateurs
and professionals alike" He used at
the concerts to play duets with Mr..
Stockhausen on the pedal harp, the
latter accompanying him pianissimo,
and touching the chords lightly, so that
Mr.. Eulenstein's part in the duets
could be perfectly heard-Music
and Drama.

TIE FAMILY DOCTOR.

To prevent hair from falling out, try
first wetting the head at night with
salt and water. Mild sage tea is also
excellent. If these remedies do not
effect a speedy cure, try this: Get a
little bottle of brandy, and put in all
the salt that it will absorb; wet the
head with this two or three times a
day.
If the arnica with which bruised
limbs are bathed is heated, its good eff
fects are perceptible much earlier than
if it is applied while cold. If arnica is
to be taken as q remedy, as so many
physicians recommend, in cases of Sc
we're sprains, it should be prepared
with water in this proportion: a tea
spoonful of arnica in goblet two
thirds full of water, and of. this tea
spoonful is to be taken once an hour or
once in two hours, as the severity of
the case determines.
A new remedy for headache has been
found by DR.. Haley, an Australian ply
sician, who says that for some years
past he has found minimum doses of
iodide of potassium of great service in
frontal headache; that is, heavy, dull
headache, situated over the brow, and
accompanied by languor, chilliness and
a feeling of general discomfort, with
distaste for food, which sometimes ap-
proaches to nausea, can be completely
removed by two-g grain dose dissolved
in half wineglass of water, and this
quietly slipped, the whole quantity
being taken in about ten minutes. In
many cases. he adds, the effect of these
small doses has been simply wonderful
as, for instance, a person who a
quarter of an hour before was feeling
most miserable, and refused all food,
wishing only for quietness, would now
take good meal and resume his won't
ed cheerfulness. If this cure of DR..
Haley's is in reality practical one, he
will merit for the discovery the graft
tude Of suffering millions.

An Unalterable Face.

There is said to be a man in Belle
vue hospital, New York, with face
that never alters its expression in the
slightest degree. Something is the
matter with the nerves and mus
cles SO that they do not work at all.
Not the faintest smile nor the sugges-
tion of frown ever varies the stolid
monotony of his countenance. The
features are regular and rather hand
some, there being no distortion, or any
outward evidence of the affection other
than the strange immobility. His
name is Henry Stube, but he is called
"Masky," because his face is like a
mask, behind which he laughs and
weeps unseen. He has worn this mask
of his for two years. He acquired it
after a neuralgia cold. He is being
treated with electricity chiefly, and the
physicians think he will recover. In
the meantime he parts his lips with his
hand for the introduction of food and
water, and when he sleeps his eyelids
are held shut by slight bandage.
His imperfect talking is done without
moving his lips. and when he speaks
or listens.the impassiveness of his face
looks singular, indeed. There Is some-
thing uncanny about it, and, after the
idea has once got into your mind, you
can hardly regard this face as any
thing else than q mask.

Whistling.

Capt. Burton tells us how the Arabs
dislike to hear person whistle, called
by them "el sifr." Some maintain
that the whistler's mouth is not to be
purified for forty days, while, accord
ing to the explanation of others,
Satan touching mans body causes
him to produce what they consider an
offensive sound. The natives of the
Tonga islands, Polynesia, hold it to be
wrong to whistle, as this act is thought
to be disrespectful to God. In Iceland
the villagers have the same objection
to whistling, and SO far do they carry
their superstitious dread of it that "if
one swings about him a stick, whip,
wand, or aught that makes whistling
sound, he scares from him the HOLY
Ghost" while other Icelanders who
consider themselves free from supersti-
tions, cautiously give the advice: "Do
it not; for who knoweth what is in the
air?" In some districts of North Ger
many the villagers say that if one
whistles in the evening it makes the
angels weep. Speaking, however, OF
ladies in connection with whistling,
it is a widespread superstition that it
is at all times unlucky for them to
whistle, which, according to one legend,
originated in the circumstance that,
while the nails for our Lords cross
were being forged, a woman stood by
and whistled. Curiously enough,
however, one very seldom hears any of
the fair sex indulging in this recrea-
tion, although there is no reason, as it
has often been pointed out, why they
should not whistle with as much facili-
ty as the opposite sex. One cause, per-
haps, of the absence of this custom
among women may be, in measure,
due to the distortion to the features
which it occasions. Thus we know
how Minerva cast away, with an i'm
precation, the pipe. which afterwsfd
proved SO fatal to Marsyas, when she
beheld in the water the Disagreement
of her face caused by her musical per-
formance. There are numerous in
stances on record, nevertheless, of
ladies wnistling at public entertain
ments, and charming their audience
with the graceful ease with which they
performed such airs as "The Blue Bells
of Scotland" or "The Mocking Bird"
Indeed, not many years ago, at grand
provincial concert, two sisters excited
much admiration by the clever and ar
tistic way in which they whistled q
duet.--Gentlemen's Magazine. .~~i

On the Shore.

The punotual tide draws up the bay;
With ripple Of wave and hiss of spray,
And the great red flower
OF tie l-hthouse tower
Blooms on the headland tar away.
Petal by FETAL it's fiery rose
Out of the darkness buds and grows
A dazzling shape
On the dim, far cape,
A beckoning shnpe as it comes and goes.
A moment OF bloom, and then it dies
On the windy cape 'iwixt The sea and skies.
The fog laughs low
To zee it go,
And the white waves watch it with cruel ewes.
Then suddenly out OF the mist cloud dun,
As touched and wooed by unseen sun,
Again into sight
Bursts the rose of light,
And opens its petals one by one.
Ah, the storm may be wild and the sea be
strong,
And man is weak and darkness long;
But While blossoms the flower
On The lighthouse tower,
There is still place for smile and q song.

A SOMEWHAT extended ride over por-
tions of the Los Angeles valley yester.
day enables us to speak with certainty
about the condition Of the crops. We
strain nothing when we say that the
grain on the mesas, the only material
interest of Los Angeles county which is
now menaced, looks remarkably thrifty,
and could run to the LIST Of March with
out serious drawback. The early sown
wheat and barley, here and there, shows
not the effects Of delayed rains but Of
the exceptionally cold weather which
has prevailed during the past week
But, as we have said, as compared with
the bulk of the growing crops, these
spots are very trifing. The later sown
cereals have a remarkably thrifty look.
A little warm weather and q brisk
shower or two would work wonders.
The grass also is in very vigorous and
encouraging state, and would respond
simultaneously to heat and moisture
combined. 1t must be borne in mind
that, while the rainfall this year has not
been very abundant, it has come very
opportunely-much more OPPORTUNITY,
indeed, than last year. when we had a
good rain in November and got no more
until the Goth Of January. The slight
rain Of last week, though not figuring
largely in the rain gauges. did q world
Of good, doing much to nourish both
grain and grass. Alarmists would do
well to remember that hay last winter
went up to S27 a ton and afterwards
dropped to IS, all in period of few
weeks, and all as the result Of late rains.

SOME day or other the City Fathers
will seriously consider the advisaLility
Of getting rid of the greater part Of the
horrible East side ditch. Five miles of
it, at least, can be dispensed with, to
the infinite benefit Of all the parties
concerned. By piping for mile, at
the point little below Darby's ranch,
East Los Angeles could be supplied
with water as now, and the terrible
waste Of that precious fluid could be
avoided. BY beginning tho new system
there the rights OF all those who have
built from tho Verdugo canon down
would be respected. The whole outlay
of the piping would be recouped to the
city inside of two years, as it costs
about four thousand dollars n year to
keep this porous and wasteful ditch in
repair. The wonder is that such an
extravaganza should ever have been
attempted. Detours of a mile and a
half are made in running the ditch
which could have been avoided by pip
ing for trifing distances. As matter
of fact FIVE heads of water are turned
into this famous ditch which, owing to
evaporation and seepase, are, by actual
measurement, found to be reduced to
two when the East side reservoir is
reached Some day or other Los An
gelcs will awaken to q sense of the
folhes of the past and she will then
enter upon career Of common sense
and progress.
