who seems to have one of those inquir-
ing minds that are not content to ac-

tracing causes and history, contends
that sitting down is an acquired habit
that marks the height of civilization.
He estimates that even at the present
day not more than ten per cent. of
human kind practice sitting on tho
European plan.

can understand that habit makes it p

of England use it altogether.
The cross-legged attitude is general
from Siam eastward through the Ma

How the Professors Desk Came Back at

The young lawyer has good taste In

about in search of them. He knows
the places in Worcester and the neigh

for it may find what will delight their
souls. So 1t was no more than natural
when the professor sold his desk, which
was Of ancient design but of doubtful
age, and began looking for something
better, that he should consult the
young lawyer. The man of law was

to let bargain go too long. Only let

a great favor" mot at ALL" said the
lawyer. TITS a pleasure to buy a
good thing, even if you are not to keep
it yourself" In day or two the pro
lessor received joyful note. The
young lawyers mother had found just
what the professor wanted-a beauty,
one OF those rare old bits that they

young lawyer with an enthusiastic

it arrived. He tore off the sacking
and inspected his prize. 1t was his old
