Queer Qualification.

The enthusiasm of the thoroughgoing
lover of Browning takes some surpris-
ing turns. The author Of "In Tuscan
Garden" tells story concerning DIR.
Furnivai, one of the founders Of the
Browning society.
A young relative of the Englishwo-
man in London was looking out at one
time for bachelor chambers in a block
of fats. The secretary Of the company
to whom they belonged intimated that
the testimony Of two householders as
to his rent paying capacity would be
required. The applicant gave the Eng
lishwoman's name as one and DR.. Fur
nival for the other.
DR.. Furnival's reply, after a glowing
panegyric on the merits of the appli-
cant, wound up by congratulating the
company on getting as a tenant a man
who twas not only a gentleman and
good fellow, but member of the
Browning society"

Standards of Measurement.

The "foot" is named from the
length Of that member in a full grown
man. Some say that it was called so
from the length of the foot of a GER
tain English king, but it is believed
to have been Il standard of measure
ment among the ancient Egyptians.
The cubit is from the Latin cubitus,
an elbow, and is the distance from the
elbow to the end of the middle finger.
Fathom is from the AryanS fat, to
extend, and denotes the distance from
tip to tip of the fingers when the
arms of an average sized man are fully
extended

WHY INDIANS PAINT.
A Legend of the Red Men Explains
the Strange Custom.

Once an old Apache Indian when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces told this little leg
end:
Long ago when men were weak dnG
animals were big and strong CHIEF OF
the red men who lived in these noun
tains went out to get a deer, for MS
people were hungry.
"After walking all day he saw a deer
and shot at it, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt the sting of the ar
row, he jumped up and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life.
''He was almost exhausted, ana
when he felt his strength giving way
he fell to the ground, calling on the big
bear, who, you know, is the GRANDPA
Their Of men, to save him.
''The big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly, 50 he scratched his foot ana
sprinkled his blood over the man.
"'Now, you must know that no AMI
NAL will eat Of the bear or taste of his
blood. So when the lion reached the
man he smelled the blood and turned
away. but as he did so his foot scraped
the face of the man. leaving the marks
Of his claws on the blood smeared face.
when the man found that he was
uninjured. he was so thankful that he
left the blood to dry on his face and
never washed it at all, but left it until
it peeled off.
"Where the claws of the lion scraped
it off there were marks that turned
brown in the sun, and where the
blood stayed on it was lighter. Now
all men paint their faces that way
with blood and scrape it off in streaks
when they hunt or go to war"

1t Grows Feeble,

The attraction of a mans character
is apt to be outlived, like the attraction
of his body, and the power of love
grows feeble in its turn, as well as the
power to inspire love in others. 1t is
only with a few rare natures that
friendship is added to friendship, love
to love and the man keeps growing
richer in affection-richer, l mean, as
a bank may be said to grow rich, both
giving and receiving more-after his
head is white and his back weary, and
he prepares to go down into the dust
of death.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

Diamonds Under water.

An imitation diamond is never so
brilliant as a genuine stone. If your
eye is not experienced enough to de-
tect the difference, a very simple test
is to place the stone under water. The
imitation stone is practically extin-
guished. while a genuine diamond
sparkles even under water and is dis
tinctly visible. When possible, place
genuine stone beside the possible imi-
tation under water, and the contrast
will be apparent to the least expert
enced eyes.

Gorki,s EARLY Struggles.

Maxim Cork, the Russian novelist,
had an early career that in many ways
recalls the early struggles of Jacob A.
Riis. He ran away from home when
a lad and for years found life mighty
hard grabbing. He worked as a day
laborer, a sawyer, a cook and lighter
man. Then he heard that free insuuc-
ton could be obtained at Kazan, and,
having no money to pay for his jour
ney, he walked there, a distance of
over GOO miles. Then he found he had

THE CARDS OF DOMINICA.
Fierce Savages Who Have Dropped
, Their Man Eating Ways.


A recent colonial report on the Caribs
of Dominica is interesting. Very mys-
ferrous is the origin Of the fierce saw
ages, now almost extinct, who were in
possession of the smaller West Indian
islands when the first white man burst
'into that silent sea-" They showed a
distinct Monaghan character, and 1t
would be hard to distinguish Carib In
FAINT from a Chinese child. Some tWen-
ty years ago a Chinaman who had
drifted to Dominica declared the Caribs
to be his own people and married a
pure bred Carib woman. The resultant
child showed no deviation from the ma
tive type.
Today they have dropped their man
eating ways, but in the sixteenth CEN
fury they secured the Spanish main in
search Of human food, and from Porto
Rico alone are said to have taken more
than 5000 men to be eaten. Though
Spaniards, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, ne
groes, or Arrowaks, were all meat to
them, yet these Caribs seem to have
shown preference for certain national
tiles. Davis, for instance, in his His
tory of the Caribby Islands," tells us
that "the Caribbeans have tested of all
the nations that frequented them and
affirm that the French are the most
delicate and the Spaniards are hardest
of digestion" Laborde also, in one of
his jaunts in ST. Vincent appears to
have overtaken on the road a COM
municative Carib who was beguiling
the tedium Of his journey by gnawing
at the remains of a boiled human foot,
This gentleman only ate Arrowaks
"Christians," he said, give me the
bellyache."

His Reti ue Rebels.

Another chapter of the history or
prince Ranjit of India that was-un-
til he came to New York with his retnue
and was discovered to be Smile. a former
curry cook at Sherry's-was told this al,
ternoon by members OF his dlssruntled
household.
The occasion for the recital was hear
ing before United State Commissioner
Shields in a civil action brought against
Roland B. Conklin and Stanley Conklln,
two well-known New Workers. who are
said to have been his hackers in the
scheme TO open "a Fifth Avenue restau-
rant.
Each of the thirty-five Hindus. who
thought their masters veins teemed with
royal blood. but found they had been
engaged to do duty as walters, seek to re-
cover $1,000 They told how they were
hoodwinked into following Smile from In
dia to Paris, London, Montreal and New
York They almost wept while recitlnS
how they had been torn from their pa
rents arms by the false promises OF the
prince in name only.
Some of the East Indians Who accom-
panied Smile to this country in December
say they grew tired Of working without
wages and reported the matter to the I'M
migration authorities. Suit was then
brought on behalf of Nohammed Ismail.

STUDENT WRITES

Miss Watkins Sings New Solo at.
Second-Baptist Church
Tomorrow.

The lovers Of sacred music will be s1H en-
the opportunity Of a rare treat tomorrow
morning when Miss Adelaide atkins
will sing 1.-THE Crystal SEA at the s como
ia fist Church.
Much interest centers about this ne"
song The words were written by MI.
Lewis ]. Jennings, a student OF Richmond
College, While Leo p. Wheat composed
the music.
This will be the first singing of the
piece in public in this city. In a few pri-
vate parlors. among the intimate friends
of Mr.. Jennings and Mr.. Wheat, has II
been heard and thrilled. but not yet IN
Richmond in a public place. In fact, 1t
has been out just a short time. Recently
it was sung and praised at the compos-
ers' recital given in Washington. This
was by Mrs. Joseph Chunn, of that city.
The beauty of the words and the soul
stirring music are beyond doubt. The
music has been written for a soprano
or tenor The words and the air suggest
that other noble solo. '.The Holy City"
Mr.. Jennings has dedicated his produc-
ton to Miss Mary Scott Thomson, OF
West Virginia. who is in the city, the
guests of Misses Blair and Sara Harvie,
