Age of the Brass Band.

"As antiquities go nowadays" says Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's. the Lrass band is very ancient institution That is to say, it's inventor died in 1894 at the age of eighty. There were horns before Adolphe Sax. to be sure, but not such horns as we have now, for they could not play every tune in every key. They could not even play q scale in any key. The very first band entirely of brass was organized in 1885, and doubt if any of the instruments then used could be played upon by modern musicians without special practice. It is only back to 17S3 when full regi- mental band of the British army con- sisted of two Oboes, two clarinets, two horns and two bassoons. It must have sounded even funnier than Tennyson's famous combination of flute, violin and bassoon.'
 "How long a way we have come since 17S3 may be learned from the ensemble of a first class modern band. The modern band of forty-two pieces has half as many oboes and bassoons as the ancient band of eight pieces. sev- en times as many clarinets and nine times as many horns, to say nothing of the saxaphones, which are part clarinet and part horn."

Had Put 1t to Proof.

Most of the men who went west in 1S49 were from the north. There were, however, few southerners, among them n Baltimore family who took along an old slave, Samuel Jefferson. Samuel was a patient traveller on the long Journey across the plains, but very skeptical about the success of his masters expedition. It was not until his master became one of the gold kings of California that Samuel stop ped shaking his head in silent protest.
 Samuel lived to good old age and after the war was the special attendant of his masters children. One day Hugh, the youngest son, was explain ing to Samuel the spherical shape of the earth.
 "If you should go straight ahead far enough, you'd come right around to where you started from"

The Art Treasures of Europe.

"What did I like best in France?'' she repeated. "Why, Paris. of course. But I'll tell you where we had the most fun, and so cheap too. We went to Reims. Phil wanted to see the Joan of Arc statue, which is considered very fine. It stands in front of an appalling ly ancient inn. where her parents stay ed, blieve.
 "While Phil was studying Joan and her rapt expression Charlie and Sally and I went to visit the wine cellars of Pomeroy-they call them caves my dear-and what do you think? They gave us each bottle of champagne for nothing! 1t is the custom. Phil lost all interest in Joan and her statue when we told him of it afterward."- New York Commercial Advertiser.

Common Sense In Law.

When we are told that every law must be enforced to the letter though the heavens fall, it has brave sound, but a wise regard for the public good demands that the laws be so executed that the heayens may not fall. The maxim that 'the extreme of the law may be the extreme of injustice"- "summum jus, summa injuria"-is of venerable age and has had the approv- al of the best jurisprudence as we'll as the best statesmanship of many centuries It is not mere ''sophistry"- as somewhat hastily, I suppose, it has been called-but it may well be quoted in support of the application of simple common sense to complicated and per picking exigencies. 1 think there is not a government in the world, not even the most conscientious, that does not refrain from rigidly enforcing to the letter some laws standing on it's statute books, either because they are anti quated or because such enforcement IS practically impossible or, if beneficial, would result in evils greater than those which those laws are to prevent or re- press.-Carl Schurz.

Bu rnn csc Am bitfOm.

The highest ambition of Burman's life is to build pagoda, by which he wins the title of Kyanng Taga during this incarnation and secures a mort gage on Nirvana. A Burman does not become Christian easily, but when he does he brings with him the convic- ton he had as Buddhist that to build place of worship is the most meri- torious act of q mans life.
 This accounts for the present cathe- dral of Mandalay, built at cost of 6O,OOO rupees by Kyanng Taga Paul Obon, Burmese ruby merchant of that city. The old church of Amara- pura was built by an Armenian and the two churches of the Tennessarim coast by gentleman named De Castro.
 Many of the TOO and more chapels and churches throughout Burma are built of jungle wood, which is destroy ed in few years by the white ants. To replace them by teak or pyingkado, not to speak of modest structures, is matter of hope with every priest, but in their straitened finances they do the best they can and pray for Kyanng Tages to came along.-Donahoe's Mag azine.

Curious Ways of Hopl Maids

In this age of advanced views on matrimonial entanglements and obliga- tions it is refreshing to read of the cu- rious marriage customs of the gentle savages of the Hopi tribe in Arizona. Here the Hopi maid does the wooing, for the women of the Hopi brand are held in much higher respect than are the cOppery sisters of kindred tribes. And when the Hopi maid has selected the youth of her choice she goes to his house as suitor for his hand and testi- fies both to her devotion and her indus try by grinding corn beneath his roof until he is sufficiently impressed with her qualities to yield and name the day.
 When the Hopi maid leads the man of her choice to the tribal altar, she does so in the midst of elaborate cere- monials of long duration, and when all is over she takes him to her home Nor does she yield this ownership when she weds. On the contrary, the house, the fields and all the property save the herds belong to the wife. This, as will be seen, greatly facilitates the Hopi method of obtaining a di. vorce, for when the wife tires of her husband she simply takes his saddle from her floor and losses it out through her door, and the divorce is completed.

PrenarinH Dates.

The preparation of dried dates is car ried on largely at Awabi, and as the season had now commenced took the opportunity to observe the process and was taken round the factories by the sheik. The dates selected are picked before they are quite ripe. The fac tory had a chimney about fifteen feet high and contained several open, cir cular, copper boilers, capable of hold ing five gallons each and nearly full of water. Into these vessels the dates are put and allowed to simmer over a slow fire. AS the water in the copper de- creased from evaporation it was filled up again, but it gradually became inspissated by the extraction of the juice of the date. The fruit is left in the water about half an hour and is then taken out and spread on mats or cloths in the sun to dry, after which it becomes hard and of pale red color. It is exported in large quantities from Muskat to dia.-Geographical Jour- nal

Odd Drinking Cups.

When every man got drunk and was proud of it in olden days, much ingenu- ity was expended in the construction of queer and elaborate drinking ves- sells, and many such are yet to be found in museums, especially in Ger many.
 One preserved in a Berlin museum represents Diana mounted on a stag and surrounded by hounds and hunts men. The cup consists of the hollow body of the silver stag, the head of which is removable. The piece stands fourteen inches high. It was made at Augsburg in 1910. It is also an auto mobile propelled by clockwork conceal ed in the base.
 Trick cups which drenched the unini- tiated were very popular. Another va riety contained wine and water in sep- arate compartments. The drinker who did not know how to manage them filled his mouth with water, though the cup was apparently full of wine.
 The glass with the fighting hares, in the same museum, belonged to Fried rich Wilhelm l. The hares represent two of his ministers and boon compan- ions.-New York Herald.

Dief md ChNracfer.

An exclusively pork diet tends in fallibly to pessimism. Beef. if perse- vered in for months. makes a man strong, energetic and audacious. A mutton diet continued for any length of time tends to melancholia. while veal eaters gradually lose energy and gayety. The free use of eggs and milk tends to make women healthy and vi vacious. Butter used in excess ren- ders it's users phlegmatic and lazy Apples ore excellent for brain work CTS. and everybody who has much in tc!iectual work to do should cat them freely. Potatoes, on the contrary. ren- der one dull. invidious and lazy when eaten constantly and in excess. To preserve the memory. even to an ad. vanced age. nothing is better than mustard.-London Chronicle.

MARRIAGE IN ARABIA.
The Wedding Procession an Elabs
 rate and Noisy Affair.

The Wedding Procession an @labO-
 rate and Noisy Affair.
 A marriage procession among the Arabs is very elaborate affair. The camel which bears the bride is deco rated with bright henna dye on his neck and shoulders. while there are verses from the Koran inscribed on the hangings. His uncouth legs are often swathed with bright cloths, his head bedecked with plumes and small mir TOTS, while his back is resplendent with bright colored bits of tinscl, which glisten against a patchwork of conceals the bride. and no doubt adds to the discomfort of the cramped ride on the beast. There are attendants and last of all the musicians, chiefly drummers. who attract the crowds by their incessant pounding on small but high keyed instruments.
 If the Journey to the groom's home Is short one. it is heightened by stops at frequent intervals. and all the while the lover must not show any eagerness to welcome her, no matter what his feelings may be. The Arab may be af- fectionate. but he cannot with dignity betray emotion. Among the lower classes buffoons accompany the pro, cession with performing bears or other wild animals. and when the bride Is wealthy largess is distributed along the route in the form of clothes or coin When the groom's tent or fixed home has been reached, the bride is expected to show great reluctance about enter ing it. and in some cases she has to be lifted by the husband over the blood of sheep he has just slain.-Woman's Home Companion.

Ori&in of Trouaers.

Something like a century ago. trou- sers ''came in'' as the result of drink and may be said to owe their origin to old world royalty, which in those days ate and especially drank very heavily and was consequently afflicted with gout and other maladies of character to swell the leg. Knee brooches and stockings-so dear not only to the early presidents of the United States and to the signers of the Declaration of Independence, but like wise to the old Puritan element of America-were scarcely suitable for swollen limbs, even if they belonged to the anointed of the Lord, and the result was that George ". as prince regent; his brothers, the Dukes of York, Clarence, Cumberland and Sus- sex; the French princes, who after ward reigned as Louis XVIII. Charles x. and Louis Philippe; King Frederick William III. of Prussia and many oth- CT equally illustrious personages aGopt- ed the modern form of pantaloon, which was at the time source of no end of r:dicule and entertainment to Gilray and to the other caricaturists of the age,

The Oldest Force Storage.

The water wheel is probably the old est method of obtaining mechanical force apart from the employment of animal force. These wheels were no doubt at first worked by flowing river and then by falling stream, and it would not be very great advance on this method to dam back the stream so as to obtain a continuous supply of force even in times of drought. Such storing of water at sufficiently high level is the simplest and even at the present time the most successful meth cd of storing force. If carefully ar ranged, the loss by evaporation and leakage is small and may be partly or wholly replaced by rain, so the force is always available, and but little labor is needed to keep such works in repair The water clock of the Romans was an elaboration of this method of stor- ing force and was for them the only foem of motor"
