Novel Book Holder.

With the idea that anything worth
nsing is worth paying for, Harvey L.
Fisher Of Chicago has invented a coin
controlled book-holder, intended espe.
cially for city directories and other
public reference works. A company
has already been formed for the intro
duction Of this novelty and it is pos.
slble that the -the-slot direc.
tory will in the near future be scat.
tered through all the large cities Ths
mechanism by which this novelty Is
operated is quite simple, comprising
two hinged plates, to which the covers
of the book are secured, with exten-
sions at the lower edge OF each plate
which protrude into the box below.
These extensions engage a spring lock
which prevents the plates being opened
until coin is inserted. The falling
coin trips a lever and allows the book
to be pulled open for consultation. the
user meanwhile taking care that pres
sure is exertei on one plate or tha
other as a spring forces them shut
again the instant they are released.

simple and Amusing Game.

A small feather with a very little
stem must be produced to play the
feather game; also a tablecloth or
small sheet The feather is placed
upon this, and the company stands in
a circle, holding the sheet.
Some one gives the feather blow,
and the object Of the game Is to pre-
vent 1t from touching any one.
Each one gives the feather a pun
whenever 1t comes near him, and over
it goes to the other side again. The
excitement produced is very great, and
it is always a most amusing spectacle

much as the players themselves.
Ancient German Clock.
An interesting exhibit at the Smith.
sonian institution is an old German
cIock that was ticking about fifteen
years before the birth of the great
American republic. 1t keeps good
time and is 140 years old. 1t is made
of hardwood and the work was all
done by hand. Every piece OF the
mechanism is highly polished and it is
put together with hand-wrought rivets

A new religious sect has started in
Russia called Podpoiniki, which signi-
fes "Dwellers under the Earth" They
pledge themselves to care for all fugi-
tives from justice, vagabonds, deser-
ters from the army and other miser-
able beings, whom they hide away in
clefts or holes in rocks. Those among
their own people who fall sick are
treated in the same way, bnt are left
without food or drink of any kind.
Every two OF three days they visit the
sick. Should any be dead they are
buried secretly, but not before the
corpses are baptized and have a new
name in order that the soul may ap-

\ T was at Colonel Trevelyan's
smoker in Picadilly that OBrien
of the Royal Irish told his story
about the horse he rode at Omdur-
man and how the beast insisted on
galloping rough-shod over every heath
en- corpse on the plain. Grafton, who
had been there, too, said such a horse
was treasure and that two of his
subaltern surgeons had been knitted
by the heathens at the very moment
when the Christian sawbones were
ready TO minister to the wounded

tvs army. The talk was getting a bit
scandalous. Dunlevy was railing at
the war office and Trevelyan himself
had let fall a few hot ones at the
Sidar, when Blakely of the Rifies-they
call him Munster" Blakely in the
army-started off on a tangent about
cross-country hunting that gave the
smokers a chance TO forget their griev-
ances. You can't express Blakelys
way of telling a story in print because
he's as full of gestures as n French
man and has a way of talking horse"
that nobody can remember quite as he
gives it. For a registering chap, he can
get as serious as any man, and, with
laugh in between his frowns, can
carry grave tale with conviction.
Anyway here's the story he told at
Trevelyan's:

There is a considerable Japanese
colony in Northern Australia. The
Jeps are expert divers, and the pearl
shelling industry in Australian waters
gives plenty of scope for their abilities
in that direction. But they are locally
regarded as intrusive aliens, and legis-
lative efforts to check their immigra-
ton have been made from time to time.
Quite recently a japanese exclusion
bill passed by the Queensland Parli-
ament was vetoed by the imperial
government en- the ground that it was
not in harmony with imperial interests.

The Land of Lamas.

Tibet Is the land Of lamas, says Will
lam Carey, in Adventures in Tibet"
What that means Is not very easy for
us in our Protestant environment to
understand The lamas are monks.
A hundred, or a thousand, or even five
thousand OF them may be herded to-
gether, il not exactly under one roof,
yet in one great building. whose rami-
fications root themselves like a for
tress in the rocks, and whose walls
and windows frown upon the sur
rounding fields.
The rest of the timid Tibetlans hud-
die in huts at the monastery gates, or
till the soil and tend their hocks that
the lamas may live at ease. Deeper
than the roots of the lamaseries sink
in the rocks has the power Of the Ia
mas lodged in the hearts of the people.
Every family has at least one repre-
sentative in the cloisters. Often there
are two and not seldom three. 1t has
been recloned that every sixth person
in the entire population is either a
lama or a lama novitiate.
The only education is monkish; the
only architecture that of the temples
and monasteries which seem to grow
out Of the craggy heights on which
they are perched; the one universal
and unceasing religious rite the twirl-
ing OF a prayer Wheel and the mum
bling Of q meaningless sentence The

his hand and many forces meet in that
magnetic and masterful grip.

noticed that the dogs had vanished
across the crest of the hill and were
mouthing away into the dark thicket
before us. My horse was for fol
lowing them in, but fought him across
the slope till my arms were sore, and
l wondered If could lift him at the
stone walls that stopped the road to
our right. He was furious, but needed
no lifting, for he took both walls in
his strides and was out on the moor in
time to see the hounds racing south
and away from the timber.
1T was then a quare thing happened.
| felt as if two arms were thrown
around my waist and heard in my
ears a woman's voice, sweet and low,
say, An, O'Shanter! All, O'ShanterP
He pricked up his ears and trembled
MS if he heard the voice too, and l
turned in my saddle, half afraid that
some woman was riding behind me.
AS | turned he bolted again for the
timber, but / fought him back into the
open ground and gave him his first
touch of the steel. Then he flew as
no horse ever flew. Inc voice came
again, but OShanter raced till the fore
most horn died and l could feel the
hot, back-blow breaths o. the mouth
ing pack.
Il turned to check him now, for he
was dashing full tilt into the pack.
The trailers fell away in terror. He
went through the Galway hounds like
a ghost and they quit like ours and
scattered. Every dog we passed quit
baying and howled as if he'd seen a
banshee, and then the leaders, in full
view Of the racing fox, turned tail and
skunk away silent or mourning in dis
NAL, evil yelps, as if their blood had
had not time to wonder at them then;
the voice of the woman was in my
ears; O'Shanter, his eyes on the fox,
his ears aslant, his muscles quivering
and alert with the ecstacy of battle,
was bearing full upon the quarry.
At the top Of the hill he was abreast
Of the game. Ny gorge rose as l
saw his head dart down and heard his
teeth click as he snapped them at the
fox. AS we flashed down the hill his
speed increased, and in n hard peat
bed at the bottom the fox, no longer
hearing the dogs, tired and yet de-
fant, came to bay. O'Shanter leaped
upon him with his steel-shod feet, and
before 1 could dismount was shaking
him aloft between his barred teeth.
1t was five minutes before 1 had the
courage to take the brush. The laugh
ter OF a woman and the Aha, O'Shan-
tern fretted me like an echo in the
night, though it was early daylight.
But at last Phelim and a few of his
rivals came over the hill scowlng, sui
len and silent. Nobody spoke to me
all the way home, and half of the
company quit Ormonde House that
night.
Il told my uncle I'd leave at day
light but 1 insisted on knowing more
of the horse, L bought him from Lady
Farleigh Of Farleigh, or rather
bought him from her estate said
Phelim. She was the best horse
woman in Kildare, but O'Shanter

Troubles Of the BiIlposter.

New York Is the billposter's paradise,
there being practically no restriction
Of the business. Other cities, however,
throw various obstacles in the pathway
Of the billposter.
In the home sections of Chicago bill
boards may not be erected without the
consent Of the residents.
San Francisco restricts the heights
of the boards, and will have no dis
flgurement of telegraph poles.
Buffalo and Cleveland have ordered
the destruction of towering bill boards.
Glasgow and Liverpool forbid adver.
tisements in street cars.
London is removing signs from piers
and railway stations.
Berlin allows posters within certain
limits only.
Paris will have no advertisements
on trees, and placards are rigidly CEN

tisements.
