THINGS WE DO NOT NOTICE.
How Many steps to Your House or
Buttons ON Your WaistcOat.


Was 1t not Sherlock Holmes who con-
victed DIR. Watson of obtuseness because
he had climbed hundreds Of times up a
particular fight Of stairs without motto
ing that there were 10 of them?
1t was an unfair test. because nobody
ever dreams of counting any steps except
those of the monument. and nobody ever
goes up the monument except inquiring
strangers and enthusiastic provincials.
But it exemplifes as well as anything
the lack of observation to be found in all
men except the detectives of fiction.
There is a certain intimate circle OF
things which Is, so to speak, inside the
range Of scrutiny. The stair question
would have baified Solomon himself
There is not one man in a thousand who
Knows how many steps connect the
ground floor of his house with the first
floor.
Take, for instance, a watch This is a
fairly familiar object, and il you were
asked whether the numbers on the face
of it corresponded to the Roman numer-
ais you would no doubt say Yes"
Yet IL you will take out your watch
and look at the symbol for four you will
observe that it is not the customary ",
a difference which 1t probably never oc-
Cured to you to notice before.
Or, again, can you say how many but
tons you have on your waistcoat? This,
as the advertisements say, is no catch.
There Is no aroma of the herring and a
half about it. 1t means what it says.
The average tailor is accustomed to
sew ON the average waistcoat certain
number of buttons. The precise number
he knows but how many OF his custom
ers? Lay your hand on your heart, well
to the left. o masculine reader, and say,
keeping your eyes in front. whether five
or six or seven is the number Of buttons
that front you every day.
II your staircase consisted of only three
steps, no Sherlock Holmes could corner
you, and a three button waistcoat would
be easily remembered. 1t is only when
the number rises into the regions Of the
fives and sixes-where the savage afore-
said gives up arithmetic and takes refuge
in the word 'many"-that exact recollec-
ton becomes dificult.-London Globe.

SHADOWS.

Most strange Il Is 20 stand when shades are free
Loosed from the light that chained them here
and there,
70 hold their hushed dominion everywhere
To stand and commune with them silently,
For one was bound by daylight's tyrast glare,
The faithful follower Of a cur 10 be,
And one was forced-llght letters needed he
To wait all day upon a maiden lair.
And each wore then the shape Of love or loathing
OF him whom day their daylong master made;
Now all have dotted their loved or hated clothing
And mingle DER the earth in shapeless shade.
And we, when death shall loose our souls from
self.
Shall shudder to have served 30 foul an elf.

The Point of View.

Fuddy-It Is the same with humor as
with everything else A good deal de-
ponds upon the point of view, suppose.
There was Toilet, for Instance, who was
butted by Clough's billygoat. 1t seemed
awfully funny to the rest Of us. but Toll
fet didn't laugh bit. Doesn't appear to
be any sense of humor in Toilet.
Duddy-0h, 1 don't know. You cant
expect man to laugh very heartily at
what is going on behind his back. And
you say yourself a great deal depends

ZANZIBAR suLTAN's CLOCKS.
How Time Is Regulated In the Do

How Time IL HeHuintcu In the 10
mains of That Potentate.
Robert Crawford Of Chicago spent
number of years wandering about this
globe and in the course OF his travels
spent some months in Zanzibar. In speak
ing of his experiences there Mr.. Craw-
ford said:
Zanzibar, you know. is a small island
on the east coast of Africa, about half
way between the entrance to the gulf Of
Alden and Delagoa bay. While l was
there | became very friendly with the
sultan, and one day after we had become
well acquainted. when l was calling on
him, he led me to n room In a part of the
palace In which l had never before been,
saying we could talk more quietly there.
1--WE were enjoying tcpid peg when
clocks began striking in nn adjoining
apartmeut-irst a sharp tingaling, then
an alarm went of, then the boom, boom,
of what could only have been grandpa
TIERS clock. Finally ] could stand it no
longer and asked him what it was. Have
/ never shown you my clocksT he ques-
toned as his face lit up with pleasure.
He led me into the next apartment. The
walls were literally lined with clocks Of
all sorts, sizes and descriptions and OF
scented, and so, too, was every other coun-
try. All were ticking merrily, but no two
kept the same time. and so | asked him
why he didn't have them regulated.
"'Oh. I do that on purpose he airily
replied. You see, some days when | rise
late l am sorry and want II earlier. and
vice versa. Then | come In here and
glance at one of my clocks that / know TO
be either fast or slow, and there you are.
The time Is as l want 1t. You see, reg.
ulate time like everything else In Zanzi-
bar With a dazed feeling that was In
intimate conversation with the Red
Queen In Alice In Wonderland ! help
Iessly asked him what he meant by regu-
lating time for the island.
"In Zanzibar the official time Is taken
from a clock on the tower opposite the
palace. The sultan asked me what time
would like 1t to be, and upon my saying
8 n. m. he led the way to the porch, sum-
moned the official timekeeper and said:
