Loves Winning WAYS.

In order to soften the heart of an
offended lover an Austrian maiden
has had herself photographed in a
coffin dressed in grave clothes. So far
from the device being successful it
has driven her young man out of his
mind, and indeed it strikes one that
she might have rendered herself more
attractive This is not, however, al
ways the object of a photograph.
There is story of young gentle
man who distorted his features so
horribly while his portrait was being
taken that he frightened the opera
tor. You are not criminal, he re-
monstrated, compelled to be photo
graphed by the police and anxious to
avoid Identification, are youl" mo,
said the other, but want to get off
my engagement with Mary Ann.
I've told her I am still hers if she
wishes it, but I've had railway &C
cident which has rather blemished
me-" Very good. When she gets
this you will be a free man, said the
photographer London Illustrated

Anne BoIeyn In Spain.

After Henry VIII divorced Catha-
rine of Aragon (the favorite daugh
ter of Ferdinand and Isabella) and
married Anne Boleyn, there was in
tense disgust thereat in Spain, and
to show their adherence they for
years carried around annually in pro-
cession huge alligator LA Tarasca,
which strictly means serpent, and
out of the back of this animal sprang
a female figure intended for Anne
Boleyn. This figure they called the
'Anavolena" (Anne Boleyn, the 81
and ''v" being almost Interchangeable
in SPANISH The idea of course was
Professionalism, personified by Anne
Boleyn, springing out of the foul
beast of the slime. The Tarasca is
shown to the curious, with the Ana
volena complete, in the hall of the
''Gigantes, which is approached
from the gallery round the cloisters
of the cathedral, the most interest
ing one in Spain. Notes and Queries.

Ireland and Irish Banks.

So far as playing helpful part IL
the employment Of Irish resources
and the development of Irish produc-
ton. trade and commerce are CON
cerned. the banks of Ireland might
almost as well be in Mexico. Irish
banks in practice exist for the pur-
pose of getting together Irish money
and sending it away for investment
elsewhere. OF the Bank of Ireland's
$4,000, 900 of capital, over 91O, O0O,-
900 are in the use of the government
outside of Ireland.
There is always Irish money forth
coming for harebIained gambling
ventures in the Argentine or at the
cape, or for dubious schemes some
what nearer the center of English
finance. It is only when a question
of utilizing a little Of this money in
Ireland is raised that conservative
chill benumbs the processes of Irish
banking Then you encounter the
most mercilessly vigilant caution, the
most rigid insistence upon a surplus
of security. In effect, no man can
get money from an Irish bank for
Irish industrial or commercial pur-
poses unless he can prove that he
does not need it. To grant loan on
prospective profits, to lend upon mer
camille security, is unheard of.-Fort

SAYS CHICKENS ARE GREAT eosslPs.
Professor Hamerik Declares That They

Professor Hamerik Declares That They
Have a Distinct Language.
Professor Asger Hamerik, the di
rector at the Peabody conservatory
of music and the composer of Morse
symphonies, has made the discovery
that chickens have language, which
he, by careful attention and by ex-
periments, has partially mastered.
He says:
Chickens are the greatest gossips
in the world. 1 know they have a
language, for when one is alone 1T
will not talk at all AS soon, how
ever, as it meets another the CONVEX
sation viii begin. Their voices are
sometimes sweet and then again
harsh and discordant, as Is the case
with human beings. l have discov-
cred that they have very acute senses
of vision, hearing and taste, but they
cannot smell. Their sense of taste is
excellently developed, and after eat
ing anything more than usually pal
atable they will give vent TO an ex-
clamation of pleasure, just as per
son will say ''Ah, ;" or something of
that sort, under the same clrcum-
stances.
They are peculiarly susceptible to
certain colors Red almost drives
them crazy, while blue is not to their
liking by any means. [ once had
five Cochin China pullets to which
gave the names of Pete, Pet, Pat, Pit
and Pot. Pete would respond readi
ly when her name was called, but
the others would come also with the
exception of Pot, who would come
only when 1 called her name. Pete
would come when called Pit, Pat and
Pet, showing that she could not dis
tinguish closely between the vowel:
/, and short. There was such {
difference between these and Poi
that the latter would recognize hel
name as soon as called. "-Baltimort

A Use For Everything.

What is rubbish today is an article
of commerce tomorrow. Time was
when 40 per cent of beef steer ran
off into the sewer. Today the steer
is driven into the abattoir and goes
out as beef, blood sausage, oleomar
garine, bone dust, hides, hair, horn
and fertilizer. Corncobs, once thrown
into the muck heap, are now made
into pipes. Cottonseed, except what
was necessary for replanting, was
spread on the soil Today cottonseed
brings the planter almost as much as
his cotton. The lint that surrounds
the berry is pulled and made into
shoddy; the oil from the seed is made
up into a hundred shapes, and now a
genius who was experimenting with
oil to make varnish for pictures dis
covered that it can be converted, with
the addition of Is per cent of crude
india rubber, into an imitation of rub
Der which can in no way be distin-
guished from the product of the trees
of the Amazon valley.-Exchange.

A Lawyers HIisgivings.

"A lawyer has some queer expe
riences," remarked Judge Kohn as
he leaned back in his chair while
waiting for the jury to agree upon
verdict. Now, some years ago l
was defending a case where my client
was charged with stealing $1,000 and
a pair of diamond cuff buttons. Was
he guilty." Then Mr. Kohn laughed
and there was twinkle in his eye.
In any event." he continued, the
case was tried, and after desperate
legal struggle I secured my clients
acquittal His innocence was clearly
established A few days after the
trial, however, the man whose char
acter I had proved to be as white as
snow went to the prosecuting witness
and gave up the diamond cuff but
tons, How they came into his pos
session am not prepared to say, but
it was certainly strange case. y

A Japanese Town.

Even in so small japanese town
as Atami. which has a population
perhaps of 5000, one comes upon
many features of interest. For in
stance, I stumbled by accident on a
Buddhist temple on a wooded knoll
right in the center of the town.
There were magnificent pine and
camphor trees about the temple,
some of them feet in diameter, and
on one side a cemetery crowded with
headstones, before every one of
which, though some of them must
be very old, was fresh sprig of a
sweet scented tree, used for the pur-
pose many hundreds of years and
having a special meaning.-Boston

The Jerusalem of To-day.

The present population of Jerusalem il
not far from 10000 and more than half
are Jews. They live in a separate quarter
of their own, as do also the various divi-
siOns of Christians, as the Armenians, the
Greeks, and the Protestants. All these
quarters are densely built, with narrow
and irregular lanes for streets, but the
prevailing prosperity does not seem to
reach the abodes of the Hebrews. The
indications are all of extreme poverty. A
synagogue was pointed out bearing an in
scripton showing that it was the gift of
Paris Rothschild; but its mean appearance
and unattractive surroundings bore no
suggestion of critical refinement in the
congregation. The articles of food sent
out for sale in the petty little shops were
often squalid and repulsiye. We came so
often upon spoiled salt fish among the
stores exposed by the vendors, that We
concluded it must form regular element
of diet in the quarter. There was no visi-
BILE sign of industry by which the people
might earn their living; and no one need
be surprised to learn that in various parts
of the world the well-tO-do and charitable
Jews are regularly called upon to contrib
ute to the support of their pauper brethren
in Jerusalem,-C Charles /. DaHd, in Me-

Humans GrOOVed Movement EX-
erCiSeS.

The greatest penmanship invention of any age,
wonderfully improved writing accomplished
quickly at home. Practice makes perfect. With
these exercises any one can improve rapidly, as
with perfect pract only is possible Bad hab-
bits of hand will change from the start and cor
rect habits must take their place. The first horrid
writer but at testing these copies could not write
his former hand after five hours practice. No
teacher or study of form Is necessary; Any
learner anywhere can with practice only, become
good penman.
The exercises consist of different sized alpha
bets of capitals and small letters with beginnings
and endings so joined as to make each letter a
continuous grooved movement exercise in which
the student practices over and over again till the
hand masters a letter and can make it on paper
with eyes shut The grooyed letters are those of
the finished penman and the learner acquires the
penmans skill as all false practice is impossible.
The alphabetical exercises are stamped into large
cards of the finest bristol board with printed in
structions for the learner. BY using these copies
any kind of bad handwriting of any person,
young or old, must give way to superior penman-
ship Single sets of these exercises Will be sent
