For His soxereten,. Sake.

The shah of Persia when in France
suffered from a toothache, and so a
dentist was summoned to remove the
offending tooth. But, like less exalted
mortals, the shah, when he found him
self face to face with the dentist, dis
covered that his toothache had disap-
peared, and SO absolutely refused to be
operated on. However, his majesty
declared that he did not wish the den.
fist to lose his time, and SO commanded
that a tooth should be extracted from
each Of his suit. He said this with
his eyes fixed on the ground, and then,
suddenly looking up, found, to his in
tense amusement, that all his minis
ters and staff had quietly slipped away
except the grand vizier, whom he conf
plimented upon being the only one
faithful enough to undergo a little dis
comfort for his sovereign's sake. Then
he dismissed the dentist with a present.

Women and Music.

Palmistry, graphology, %phrenology,
even pedology and kindred sciences
which reveal or are said to reveal char
acter. are popular enough, particularly
among English speaking people. An
Engiishman now seeks to show that a
woman's character may be judged by
her fondness for the compositions Of
the great musicians. For instance, a
passionate admiration for Beethoven's
music proves q faithful, reliable, capa-
BILE, character. Lovers of Mendelssohn
are tender, with a certain disposition
toward melancholy, a delight in what
Byron calls 'the ecstasy Of woe.' Prac-
teal, methodical, excellent housewives
may be found among the followers of
6ebastian Bach. According to this OBJ
server. Chopin enthusiasts are senti-
mental, dreamy, romantic, while those
who show a fondness for old ballads
and simple music possess shy and re-
firing souls. Finally, he regards wo-
men who are content with the every
day music Of musical comedy as dolls
without head or heart.

Humid. of Bow. ami a,-,.

From twelve on an increasing per.
eentage of the children relinquish the
idea tina self is necessary IN the joke
and give more impersonal accounts.
Girls more frequently than boys quote
the humor of the refined adult and in
personal experiences often describe &C.
caslons OF their W timidity. This is
probably due to the different home
training a girl receives. She is con-
t1nually drilled ito be a lady" which
IN most cases means to drop her natu-
raj instincts and to initiate the adults
OF her environment. About twelve she
loses the fearlessness she has hitherto
Shared with her brothers and becomes
good prey for their Soaring schemes.
This seems to develop the boys teas
Ing abilities, for, while before almost
all their tricks were on their own sex,
now the acme of their fun as recorded
Is to brighten some girl or to make her
look ridiculous. A boy of twelve H.
Illustrates this tendency and by his
mixed clauses gives further material
for smiles. 1.-The best joke saw
played was putting a bunch Of fire
crackers by a lady that were not lit,
and they scared her."-Century.

A Score.


Twenty is called a score because it
represents the whole man, ten fingers
and ten toes. Etymologically it means
a cut or mark. In very early times,
when men could not count beyond
twenty, or lone man." it was usual
to cut a notch In a stick and begin
again, and so it went on, one man, two
men, and so on. This Is why sheep
are still counted by the score. Now, a
tally (French taille, cut or nicked)
means an account kept by means Of a
notched stick, and until the end Of the
eighteenth century such sticks were
given as exchequer receipts, accom-
panied by a written document. This
was also the. usual way of keeping ac-
counts in the inns of the middle ages.
The number Of drinks or meals q Gus
toner had were scored against him on
what was called a tally stick, and
when it reached twenty, or q whole
man." he was expected to pay. In
some English country inns scores are
still kept on a slate, four chalk marks
and n across-fve-and four of these
make twenty, or a score.

Well Placed Generosity.

In 1885 List went on a tour In the
French provinces. he arrived at the
little town Of l. to give a concert,
rs announced. But the inhabitants
appeared to take but little interest in
musical matters, for when the must
clan appeared IN the platform he found
himself face to face with IN audience
numbering exactly seven persons.
List stepped very calmly to the front
and, bowling respectfully to the array
Of empty benches, he delivered himself
as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, l feel ex-
tremely fattered by your presence
here this evening, but this room is
not at all suitable; the air is literally
sitting. Will you be good enough to
accompany me to my hotel, where l
will have the piano conveyed? We
shall be quite comfortable there, and
I will go through the whole Of my
programme"
The, offer was unanimously accepted,
and List treated his guests not only
to a splendid concert, but an excellent
supper into the bargain. Next day,
when the illustrious virtuoso appeared
to give his second concert, the hall
was not large. enough to contain tho
crowd which claimed admittance.

Gambling ms a Necessity.

Some years ago gambling was probib-
tied in a part Of Siam, and the govern
ment did everything it could to sup
press the vice.
1t turns out. however, that this laud.
able action has seriously deranged the
labor market. The Chinese immigrants
who labor in the mines rank gambling
among the necessities of life. and the
prohibition kept them away.
Now the government has had accord
ingly to modify its policy. 1t now en-
acts that where there is a sufficiently
large Chinese population gambling
houses will be allowed. The gambling
is to be restricted to Chinese.-London

Casting ~Sleighbells.

A question frequently asked is in re-
gard to the method of producing sleigh
bells containing iron balls larger than
the opening in the bells. Previous to
making a cast the maker of sleighbells
puts an iron ball inside a sand core,
Just the shape of the inside Of the bell.
This sand core, with the jinglet inside,
Is placed in the mold of the outside and
the melted metal poured in, which fills
up the space between the corr and
mold. The hot metal burns the core SO
that it can be shaken out, leaving the
ball within the shell. Ball valves,
swivel joints and many other articles
are cast in the same manner.

LAFAYETTE IN AMERICA.
Incidents of the Noble Frenchman's
Visit In 1924,

of the Noble ~Frenchman's
Visit In 1924.
Lafayette's arrival in America was
the signal for one prolonged, brilliant
Fourth Of July celebration. The pupils
Of the institutions throughout the coun-
try were prominent participants in the
festivities in his honor.
A little Maryland girl who, after
much drilling, had mastered a poem
with which to greet him, beginning
Welcome, welcome, Lafayette,
Thee we never can forget,
was not permitted to get beyond the
second line Of her recitation, the baby
lips being sealed at this point by an
efusive kiss from the enthusiastic
Frenchman.
OF the complaisance which charac-
terized him during his progress through
thes states IN old lady, now a resident
Of Baltimore, who Joined in singing
odes to him in Norfolk, Va, gives the
following illustration:
"Locks Of hair instead of autographs
were then fashionable as souvenirs,
and as we passed in review before him
a little girl at my side ventured timidly
to say, General Lafayette, will you
please give me a piece of your harp
In an instant the red wig was in his
hand, but the terrified suppliant, to
whom he would have presented it,
thankful to escape with her own scalp,
had disappeared in the crowd"
The hero's personal appearance was
never, ven in his palmiest days, his
strongest point, and with the added
pounds which had come with years, the
limp from the wound received during
the battle of the Brandywine and,
above all, the disfguring red wig, he
was scarcely a model of manly beauty.
