A Dog In IA Glove.

There is no question that the beagle
ID very old breed. Early Roman
accounts of England contain refer
ences to the beagle even by name.
Books published from about 1880 to
1910 describe several varieties Of
hounds, including "the little beagle,
which may bo carried In mans
glove" That tho miniature hound
was extremely popular Mt that time
was evident from Queen Elizabeth
keeping n pack which were also said
to be small enough to put in glove.
This statement is frequently rldiculed
when It Is not understood that gloves
of that period were not the present
day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly
to the elbow. What became OF those
glove beagles we may surmise from
what we know of the results Of later
attempts to maintain packs OF beagles
of s to 10 inches high, the result after
some years being weak puppies that

Which of the large cities of the world
had the shortest life?
In the ancient world the answer Is
Palmyra. The period Of its prosperity
extended only from III to 273 A. D.,
158 years. In the ilfth century II. G.
persopolis was the capital of the Per
sian empire for thirty years only, but
this was merely an accident of war
and politics. Carthage was the shortest
lived seat Of empire, for it only en-
dured about 500 years. In modern times
the answer would be Amarapurn, the
former capital of Burma. Founded In
1888. 1t had In 1900 population of
175,000 Sixty years later the seat Of
government was transferred to Man
dalay, and Amarapura Is now repre-
sented only by II few ruined temples
and bamboo huts.-London Answers.

Secrets.


There are those who hold that SIN
gular and prime friendship, such as
marriage, for instance. diss0lyes all
other obligations whatsoever and that
secrets betrayed are the greatest sac
ri6ees possible upon the altar OF love.
Montague says. "The secret ! have
sworn not to reveal to any other may
without perjury communicate to him
who is not another. but myself" There
are few friendships nowadays so close
as his with Etienne de la Boetie. who
himself would not so much as lie In
Jest" Theirs was one of the great
friendships of history. But there Is
much casuistry used by those who
would manifest their importance In
knowing mysterious things. They obey
the letter OF the law Of honor and tell
without really telling, letting the truth
leak out in wise hints and suggestions
or they tell part Of tale and hood
wink themselves into thinking that
they have violated no confidence. Yet
nothing is so dangerous as half a
truth. Sooner or later it Is inevitable
that the hearer will come across the
other side, and the cat is out Of the

UNCLE SANS FREAK MONEY


bhhN arc twenty DDhthFA on
One Side and Ten on the Reverse.
Scattered throughout the country are
few pieces of paper money that are
known as freak bills" hy the officials
of the treasury department One of
them turned up in this city not long
Ago-it had the imprint of twenty
dollar note on one side and ten on
the other. As the face showed the
twenty, that was Its legal value.
The deputy assistant treasurer OF
the United States, who is stationed In
the New York subtreasury, was speak
ing of these freaks the other day and
said he had only seen one of them In
his life, although he had heard of sew
eral. Very rarely they have slipped
through the bureau of engraving and
printing despite careful scrutiny by
three or four sets OF inspectors. In
most cases they have been national
banknotes, which, like regular treasury
notes, are printed ut the bureau in
Washington. The face value always
Is recognized when the freaks come to
be cashed In Mt any branch of the
treasury, and the imprlat on the back
has no lawful status whatever.
The notes are printed In sheets at
the bureau" said the official. Usual.
ly there will be one twenty and two
tens on sheet. They are printed one
side at n time SO II can be seen that
the printer in turning over the sheet
might get II upside down and thus put
ten dollar back on the twenty dollar
note, or twenty on the back of one Of
the tens"
In the bureau are women who are
supposed to examine all the bills care
fully, but occasionally they neglect
to look at both sides as scrutiniZlngly
as they should, and SO the money goes
out into circulation. When errors are
discovered. the misprinted sheet is laid
aside to be destroyed. It cannot be
torn up at once, for every sheet hns to
be accounted for. After good deal
of red tape. 1t Is ground up into pulp
Most of the freak bills which have
been issued In the past have found
their way back TO the treasury, there
to be destroyed 1t is thought that less
than dozen are now scattered about,
most of them In the hands of curio
hunters. The official said that no eff
fort to collect them had been made by
the government and that the treasury
department did not consider the circu-
latlon of the few notes matter Of
any consequence, lnasmuch as there
was no doubt about the values as In
dicated on the face New York Times.

What's In a Namef

Her name is Margaret, but all her
friends call her Daisy. 1t Is II pet
name she has been known by since
she was child. There Is n pretty,
bright. charming freshness about her
which the flower suggests. But not
withstanding the appropriateness of
the nickname the girl, who has recent
ly attained the dignity of an engage
ment ring. has discarded II once and
for all, and no one is a friend Of hers
who does not call her Margaret 1t Is
all on account of the new name she Is
to take. She will eventually be Mrs.

A POUNDS A POUND.
Hut n Pound of Feathers IN Heavier
Than a Pound of Lend.

Than IA Pound of Lead.
That old question about a pound OF
feathers and a pound of lead takes on
new interest when we look at It In a
simple scientific way. 1t seems alb
surd, of course, that pound of one
thing could be heavier than pound of
another thing, and yet that Is exactly
what may be shown In this case; not
that the pound of lead Is heavier than
the pound of feathers, as most persons
would say on the spur of the moment,
but just the other way-a pound of
feathers is heavier than pound of
lead
This apparently inconsistent state
ment may be quite easily proved. With
accurate scales weigh a pound of lead,
using ordinary shot for convenience;
then with the same scales weigh a
pound of feathers, putting them into a
muslin bag for the purpose. The feath-
ers and the bag together must weigh
exactly pound.
| The next step In the operation will
show apparently that there Is no diff
| ference whatever In the weight of the
| two articles. for you put the shot In
one pan of balance and the bag of
feathers in the other and after little
seesawing they Will come to an exact
level.
Now, however, the scientific phase of
the question presents itself. and you
are reminded that In weighing the ar-
ticles thus In the open air you have
| AL
er of the air. which bears everything
up In proportion to the objects bulk
As the bag of feathers is of greater
bulk thnn the shot. 1t is borne up more
than the shot Is, and for that reason
1t is necessary to use little more than
pound of feathers to balance pound
of lead
This however. is theoretical. The
practical proof Is obtained when you
place the balance bearing the lead and
the feathers on the receiver OF an air.
| pump and cover them with the glass
bell. Then exhaust the air, and you
| will find that the pan bearing the feath-
ers will sink and the pan bearing the
| lead Will rise, thus showing that when
| weighed In the ordinary way the guam
tity OF feathers used to make pound
is actually more than pound.-New
