Though the lector is on duty during the
entire number of working-h hours,
scarcely more than half his time is oc-
cupied in reading. Though not recog
nized officially by the factory owners,
los lectors are, by diplomatic subter-
fnge, accorded privileges by the own
ers, who provide them with platform
and reading desk, and in some cases
indirectly furnish them with maya
zines. Payment for the services of
lector comes from the hands. and is
rarely evaded. AT the end of the week
each operative in the cigar-room is ex-
pected to show his gratitude to the
reader in the shape of small cash
present. AS these presents average
shilling per man, the position of the
reader is lucrative, yielding in one fac
factory as much, it is said, as a hur-
dred and twenty dollars a week.

The curious travelling stones" of
Australia are paralleled in Nevada.
They are described as being perfectly
round, about as large as walnut, and
of an ivory nature. When distributed
about on the floor, table or any other
level surface within two or three feet
of each other they Immediately begin
travelling toward each other until they
meet at common center, and there lie
huddled up in bunch, like eggs in a
nest. A single stone removed to dis
lance of four feet, upon being released,
returns to the heap, but if taken away
five feet remains motionless. 1t is
needless to say that they are largely
composed of magnetic iron ore.

For the decade of 1SS0-90 the duel
statistics of Italy record for the entire
kingdom 2,759 duels, most of them
military. The hotter the weather the
more duels, while in very cold winter
weather the figures tapered off. Thus
seven-eighths of the whole number
took place in summer and. one-eighth
in winter. Only so deaths resulted
out of all these duels, SO of which were
fought with the sword, 2,4SO with the
saber and the rest with the pistol.
Ordinary quarrels produced 7S0; press
and political discussions, /, 1922; love,

the duels took place at Naples and the

A PARAGRAPH is going the rounds to
the effect that wild animals are COM
pletely fascinated and can be tanned by
perfumes, and this story is told f.:
There was Mrs. Lee in India who
had tame leopard that played in the
house with her children. He was very
inquisitive, as all of the tribe are and
loved to stand on his hind legs and,
with his forepaws on the window sill
to look at the passers by. When the
children wanted the place for them
selves, they would all take hold of his
tail and pull him down by that. He
was generally very amiable, but some
times, his claws being very sharp, the
children were scratched. So Mrs. Lee
taught Sal to keep his claws sheathed
by giving him, when he did so, little
paper tray on which lavender water had
been dropped This would throw him
into transports Of delight. He would
tear the paper into bits and roll over
them on the floor. With nothing but
bottle Of lavender water persons have
become the best OF friends with Loop
ard, a tigross or iouess Ia a me-
nagerie.'

THE live and progressive people of
the Southwest are disappointed with
the Century Dictionary because it does
not contain the word 'bazoo." Eastern
tenderfeet may not know it, but "ba-
ZOO" is a good standard word in the
Southwest, no more to be sneezed at
or ignored than such words as dog and
cat. When politician is said to "blow
his bazoo" everybody knows what is
ment. In Sedalia, Mo-, there is lively
paper called the Bazoo, and in other
ways "bazoo" enters largely into the
life of the people Therefore, if the
Century Dictionary folks want to work
up big Southwestern business, they
will have to find place for "bazoo."

T. j. BENTON, of Dent County, Mis-
souri,, gives the weight of his fathers
family as follows: "All of our family
except father, who is eighty-three years
old, are stout. Father weighs 100
pounds, Tom weighs 335, Elijah 240,
Henry 260, Sweeney 2O5, and I weigh,
as I told you, 1886, making a total
weight for the five brothers of 1876
pounds, a pretty heavy load for one
horse to pull up hill" Many stories are
told of Mr.. Benton's powers. On one
occasion, while he was marshal of Salem,
two big, burly six-footers attempted to
rule or ruin the town, defying the officers
and challenging any one to arrest them.
Mr.. Benton took the obstreperous
couple, one under each arm, and car
ried them to the jail, their legs and
arms blowing around in the air with

Again: Not only did the members of the
orchestra acquit themselves with credit, but
excellent judgment had been exercised in
the selection of those VINO aided them.
The members recognize the fact that their
orchestra is small, and. therefore, confine
their selections to the light and popular class
of music, without attempting TO interpret
the classics of the old masters. To this fact
is due large part of their success, as the
fault with most amateurs is thet they try to
play music beyond their ability, 10 the detri-

a commendable feature Of this amateur body
is that they are always at the command of
any charitable body. No charge whatever is
made for their services: they obey the call to
assist at any concert irresl ective of what de-
nomination the church or organization is
under whose auspices it is given. 1t was
in this way the orchestra first became
known TO the public, and from the outset
their services we're in great demand for every

men made them many friends, who amply
testified their appreciation of the orchestra
by the enthusiastic ovation given them on
the occasion of their first concert last season.
