Antiquity of the Harp.

W. S. Macdonald, of Glasgow, in a recent lecture before the Highland society of London, traced the history of the harp from the shadows of nythol- ogy to the present day. It is, he said, the first musical instrument on record and was the principal one of ancient and medieval times. All the skill and artistic genius of the Egyptians were lavished upon it's design and decora- tion. The Druids first brought the tone and pitch of the harp to perfec- tion. 1t attained the height of it's favor in modern times in 1919, when Sebastian Erard. of London, brought it to the front rank of musical instru- ments. It has been inseparably con nected with the traditions and lore of the Gaelic people from time immemo- rial

THE WEALTH OF NATIONS.
Our Country Has More Than a Quarter of
 the Worlds Riches.

Our Country Has More Than Quarter of
 the Worlds Riches.
 The wealth of the United States is more than fourth as great as that of all of the rest of the world put to- gether. So reports Prof. Francois, a student of political economy, in re- cent number of Monde Moderne, a French publication.
 He places the wealth of this country at 313,000, 100000 francs-which is equivalent to about s62, ,60O, 1000, ,0oO-and that of the other eighteen countries covered by his statistics at 1,144, 7OO,- 900, ,OO0 francs.
 According to this statistician the value fall property owned in England, including money in circulation, is 265, 900, 100000 francs - 4S,000, ,000,0o0 less than this country's wealth. Third place is given to France with 225, ,O00, ,000, ,O00 and fourth to Germany with 161, ,O0O,- OOO, ,OOO francs. Then come Russia with 127,0O0, 100000, Austria Hungary with s2, 900, 100000, Spain with 62,O00, 100000 Italy with 54 GOO, ,000, ,000, or milllards and as the French say-of francs.
 These are the richest countries of the world. There are four in the list Italy, Spain, Russia and Austria-Hun- gary-whose combined wealth is only little larger than that of the United States.
 It is true that much of the wealth of this country is in the hands of com parativcly few people. Even if the inequality were as bad as reported by the worst of the discontents, the condi- tion of the masses here would still be much better than it is in Europe. Wealth is more concentrated even in England than in the United States.

Two oueer Illinois Wells.

Near Augusta, H., there are two peculiar wells, each of which deserves special mention in a department de voted to accounts of things out of the ordinary. The first is 'bottomless welln-one which was sunk down until the immense running underground river was struck. The second is well in which the water remains frozen winter and summer. These two wonders, eact of which may properly be referred tt as combined natural and artificial curiosities," are located at distance of about a mile and a half apart. The frozen well is only about ten feet iu depth. that of the other not stated.

Ch,nese CannibnIs.

The Chinese arc cannibals. China's so-called civilization of thousands of years has not succeeded in doing away with cannibalism among its own people. When Chinese have been en- gagged in warfare with tribes on the mainland, we hear of this eating of hu- man flesh, but not until I reached For mosa did I have proof of its truth. After killing savage on the island, the head is severed from the body and is placed on pole to exhibit to those un- fortunates who are not at hand to wit ness this heartless display of slaughter and mutilation. The body is then divid- ed among the captors and eaten. The kidney, liver, heart and sole of the foot are considered the most desirable DOT tions, and arc usually cut up in very small pieces, boiled, and eaten as sort of soup. The flesh and bones arc boiled and made into jelly. The Chinese profess to believe, in accordance with an old superstition, that the eating of this savage flesh will give then strength and courage. To some this superstition may be a partial excuse for this horrible custom, but even that falls through if one stops to think that su- perstitious beliefs are at the bottom of cannibalism as practiced by the most savage tribes of the world.

A MONKEYS REVENGE

The Animals Resentment of Another
 Monkeys Tricks.
 In the Central park monkey house, New York, the ring-tailed monkey and the chimpanzee one day recently had no end of row. Some woman visitor had given the ring g-tailed monkey hat pin. It interested him very much. He tried it's point on himself and it hurt. He thought it might interest the thoughtful chimpanzee. Creeping up behind his simian friend, l;e jabbed it into the animals back and left it hang ing there.
 Then the visitors saw the most ami mated controversy it has ever been their lot to sec. The gentle-spirited chimpanzee took hold of the ring-tailed monkeys tail and wound it three times around his right hand. Then he jerled the monkey into the air and began to swing him around his head. About every second whirl the monkeys head struck the iron bars of the cage. The little fellow screeched with all his might; but the chimpanzcc was relent- less. He merely changed his method of torture. He stopped his whirling tactics, sat himself quietly down, and, placing his foot on the monkeys back, lay back with all his might in an effort to pull out his victims tail. Failing in this, he took hold of the monkeys ear, jumped up in the swing and. swinging as high as he could, let the poor fellow drop with thud. This satisfied the thoughtful chimpanzee.

The Joy of a Japanese Mother at Baby Show on Pacific Steamship.

The Joy of a Japanese Mother at Baby
 Show on a Pacific Steamship.
 Dr. A. Nelson Beach, surgeon of the steamship China, when last here, told the story of the most remarkable baby show and of the most remarkab ble prize winning family that has yet been put on record, says the San Francisco Ex- aminer.
 The China on the last trip to the ori- ent took on board at Honolulu four hundred and ten Japanese, all home ward bound after having worked out their contracts on the Hawaiian islands. Many of the Japanese had their wives and children with them, and there were eighty-three babies under four ars-ffty-three girls and thirty boys.
 The eighty-three almond-eyed youngs- ters furnished amusement for the cabin passengers for time. When there is no view save the broad horizon eighty three Japanese babies are great at fractions. Somebody suggested baby show. The mothers had never heard of baby show, but the eagle of an American dollar is great interpreter, and the Japanese commissioner of inn migration to the Hawaiian islands, who was passenger on the steamer, aroused the maternal pride of the little mothers in the steerage. By contribu- ton of the cabin passengers purse was made up and prizes were offered for the three handsomest girls and the three finest boys under four years.
 The eighty-three little Japs in gor- geous kimonos were placed on exhibi- ton one afternoon, and then the judges awarded the prizes.
 After the prizes were awarded a startling discovery was made. The lit tie girls who took first and second prizes were sisters, and the little boys who took first and second prizes were brothers. But when the passengers found that the prize-winning little boys and the prize-winning little girls were brothers and sisters, all children of the same parents, there was astonishment unbounded, and the passengers made up purse of five dollars for the mother of the prize-winning family, in addi- tion to the prize money bestowed on the children.
 If there had been more in the fami- ly they would have had the rest of the prizes, I suppose" said Dr. Beach, "but the award of four prizes to four chil- dren of the same family, the oldest of the children four years of age, was sui ficient glory for the mother, who was the proudest plrent 1 ever saw. The awards were fairly made, and none of the judges knew that the children were brothers and sisters"

Mrsoro Infants Must Not Marrx.

The maharajah of Mysore has re- solved to put down by an act of the legislature the custom of infant mar riage among his subjects. A bill to that effect was published last year. After a good deal of discussion the measure has now assumed definite shape and form. When the act is en- forced any person causing or abetting infant marriages, or any person of eighteen or over eighteen marrying an infant girl will be punished with im- prisonment of either description, which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both. The same punishment is prescribed for any man who, having completed fifty years of his age, mar ries girl under fourteen years. Six months imprisonment or fine, or both, will be meted out to the abettor or abettors of this offense. All girls un- der eight years of age will be consid- cred as infants under this law.

Touching Tale of an Old Servant of Queen Xfcfnrfa

 Victoria.
 In the Life of James Holmes" may be found pathetic story of man named Damer, the scion of royal house, who, in the latter part of the eighteenth century, was one of the queens pages. She grew to have very warm regard for him, but the time came when, on account ofincreasing age and infrmity, he was pensioned off, and some one else was put in his place.
 It grieved him much to change his habits, but he was in some degree con- soled at being allowed to attend cer- tain royal entertainments, and it was at one of these that he distinguished himself by a somewhat eccentric action which greatly amused his former mis- tress.
 He was wandering forlornly abont. alone, when the queen, ever mindful of her old and tried servants, hastened to- ward him with extended hand and a word of kindly greeting.
 He took the proffered hand and held it for moment, while he gazed with a smiling though puzzled expression at the queen. Then he said:
 ''I know that face! know it as well as know any face, but-pardon me, madam-I cannot for the life of me recollect where have seen it!''
 ''Poor Damer!" said the queen, with sorrowful smile, as she turned away. Poor Damerr'
 The old man looked after her for a moment, and then asked passing gar dener who the lady might be.
 'Why, the queen."
 Damer laughed.
 ''I'm afraid" said he, ''her majesty will think have forgotten her!'

Lo=don T-adesmcn Rake In Millions Q
 Oar Doslars ETeEy Year.
 Ii is estimated that Americans every year in London distribute nearly twen' fv-lve million dollars among the trades people there. They nearly always pay cash and are charged good prices. Naturally. then, says the New York Advertiser. the London tradesmen have become thoroughly awakened to the importance of catering to this trade, aud they are using all manner of means to attract it. In nearly all the shops on tEc Strand, Regent street, Oxford street and other thorcughfares of that character, where prices are given and articles are displayed in the windows, the United States dollar mark is used in conjunction with the English pound mark One of the big dry goods stores in Oxford street created quite a com motion among the Americans by dis playing very large American flag from their fiagpost. As happened to pass by I saw about two hundred peo- pie looking rcverently at the stars and stripes. The size of this crowd not only demonstrated the clever move of the shopkceper, but the large number of Americans in London, that so many of them could be attracted about the same time and at the same place by this means. Naturally they all wondered what it meant, and went into the shop in pursuit of knowledge. They were given to understand that it was in the nature of a personal compliment, and they feel it now their patriotic duty to believe that this is the greatest shop in London. Other shopkeepers are sure to discover the cleverness of this scheme and follow the example. It may be- come contagious. If it does, the Amer ican flag will be more familiar in Lon- don than in New York.

BAD GIMME FADpEN.
He Misbehaves Himself on Board 8 New
 York ttL" Car.


 York ''L" Car. A small boy carrying big cage, with parrot in it, got aboard Third avenue "L" train at Fourteenth street the other day and took seat next to benevolentlool1ing man wearing 8 white tic, says the New York World. The boy set the cage down in front of him and, as the train started, the par rot began to mutter in most unintel- ligible fashion. The benevolent-look- ing man glanced up from his paper and said:
 Mice parrot, isn't hep "Yep."
 'Is he yours?"
 Mop; m uncle's What's his name?" "Chinmie Faddnn." "Can he talk?"
 'O' course; hello, Chimmie!" bending over the cage.
 What tell! what tell! what tell" screamed the bird, without an instant's hesitation.
 The benevolent-looking man got red in the face, and a girl across the car giggled. Other passengers laughed, also. The owner of the white tie got behind his newspaper, while the small boy looked innocently out the window.
