Turning Smoke to Gold,

Queen Elizabeth often twitted Ra-
leigh on his devotion to tobacco, and it
was on one of these occasions-or so
the author of "The Soverane Herbe"
shrewdly surmises-that the knight re-
piled:
81 can assure your majesty that I
have so we'll experienced the nature Of
it that can tell even the weight of the
smoke in any quantity consume"
II doubt it much, Sir Walter" re-
piled Elizabeth, holding it was impos-
sible to weigh smoke and mayhap
scenting joke, ''and I will wager you
twenty gold angels that you do not
solve my doubt"
Calamity accepting the wager, Ra-
leigh filled his pipe with a weighed
quantity of tobacco, smoked it out and
then, weighing the resultant ashes, an
nounced the weight he had smoked
away.
"Your majesty cannot deny that the
difference has disappeared in smoke"
'"rruly | cannot" answered the
queen. Ordering the wager to be paid,
she turned to the courtiers around her
and said, "Many alchemists have I
heard of who turned gold into smoke,
but Raleigh is the first who has turned
smoke into gold"

Changing Names In Eurone.

Nowadays names are not as easily
changed as they used to be, when every
continental gentleman who became an
author threw aside his German, Dutch
or French patronymic and assumed q
Greek or Latin cognomen as Erasmus,
Paracelsus and Melanchthon did. At
present the clumsy machinery Of the
law has to be set in motion before a
surname can be changed in Germany,
Austria and Holland, and in many
cases fee paid besides.
If in Austria a man takes a room in
hotel and gives a name which does
not legally belong to him, he renders
himself liable to imprisonment, and he
is sure to get his due if the truth leaks
out. Travelling incognito is a luxury
reserved for dukes and princes there.
A name in central Europe is an heir
loom not to be played with. A girl
takes over not only her husbands sur
name, but also his title, and by this
she is always addressed-Frau Doctor,
Frau Professor, Frau Privy Councillor,
etc. She must be very poor indeed
who has not some such handle to her
name after marriage. Hence the de-
sire of Il welded lady to retain name
and title even after she has lost him

A Noble Husband.

The historian Xenophon relates that
when Cyrus, the founder of the Persian

prince of Armenia, together with his
beautiful and blooming wife, of whom
he was remarkably fond, they were
brought before the tribunal of Cyrus to
receive their sentence. The warrior in
Quired of the prince what he would
give to be reinstated in his kingdom,
and he replied that he valued his crown
and his liberty at very low rate, but
If the noble conqueror would restore his
wife to her former dignity and possess
sions he would willingly pay his life for
the purchase. The prisoners were dis
missed to enjoy their freedom and for
mer honors, and each was lavish in
praise of the conqueror.
"And you," said the prince, address
ing his wife, what think you of Cy-
rus?"

Mr.. Harding came out to see what was

TALKED THROUGH HIS HAT.
And His Success in Selling Goods Was
Something Entirely New
to Him.

A wcll-known commercial traveller
of this city recently complained to a
friend in the same business that he
had found certain dealers in the line
of goods he carried exceedingly hard
to approach, says the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph. In fact, in sew
eral instances he had hardly reached
the door before, to use a slang ex.
preston, he was given the marble
heart" so suddenly that he had to
hustle around the next block before
he could breathe without artificial
respiration. One man, whom he
hoped to make a permanent pur.
chaser, had turned him down repeat
edly, and he had about given up in
despair The friend looked at the
salesman critically for a moment,
and then remarked:
''You are lacking in appearance
What you want to do is to put on a
high hat, and throw out your chest,
and I'll bet small bottle that YOU
get by"
When the friend met the salesman
some time later the latter was
decked out in high hat, had on a
swell-made overcoat, and the crease
in his pants was faultless, as was
the shine on his shoes.
"Well, old man, how did you make
out?" asked his friend
Fine as silk" replied the sales
man; biggest sale of my life. l
never knew there was so much virtue
in talking through your hat"

BOY DRUMMERS IN THE BEURS
C0riOus Privilege That Is Allowed
Hundreds of Dutch Urchins
in Amsterdam

The boys of Amsterdam are happy
in the possession of a very curious
privilege which has been theirs for
nearly 800 years. During one week
at midsummer they gather every aft
ernoon by hundreds, and even thou
sands, in the dam, the great square
in the center of the city-each boy
with drum slung over his shoulder,
says Youths Companion.
So soon as the business of the day
is over in the "Beurs," or stock ex-
change, which faces the square, as
many of the boys as can crowd into
the building are allowed to go upon
the floor of the exchange, where for
an hour or two they march about,
singing and beating upon their
drums.
The din is appalling, but the good
citizens of Amsterdam endure the
racket with characteristic placidity.
AS for the origin of this singular
custom, it is said to date from the
discovery and discontinue of Span
ish plot against the city in the year
1922. At that time, after half a CEN
tury of warfare, the Dutch republic
had forced Spain to concede its inde-
pendence, and Amsterdam had be-
come the chief commercial city of
the world.
But the Spaniards were very bitter
over the loss of their rich provinces
in the Netherlands, and in 1922 hos
tilities between the two countries
again broke out.
One afternoon party of boys
playing in the dam lost their ball in
the canal, which in those days skirt.
ed one side of the square and ran
directly under the Beurs One of the
boys clambered in among the piles
on which the building stood, and
found, instead of his ball, a boat
moored in dark corner, and loaded
to the gunwale with boxes and bar
rels filled with gunpowder.
1t was evidently the purpose of the
Spanish conspirators to blow up the
Beurs while it was crowded, as it
was every day, with the leading citi-
zens of Amsterdam.
The frightened boy at once hurried
to the burgesses of the town with
his story; the boatload of explosives
was quietly sunk in the canal, and
the danger was over.
When the young hero of the occa-
sion was asked what reward he
would have for the service he had
rendered the city, he begged that,
so long as there was a Beurs in
Amsterdam, the boys might be al
lowed to make it's floor their play
ground during part of the year, in
memory of the day when, at their
games, they were the means of saw
ing the building from destruction.
The request was granted, and the
custom has been carefully observed
to this day.
They are just finishing a fine new
Beurs in Amsterdam, and some of
the members of the exchange have
advised that the boys and their
drums be kept out of it altogether.
But the mere suggestion has stirred
up such a commotion among the
worthy bnrghers of the city that
there appears to be no danger of the
repeal of the privilege.
1t is fortunate that this is so, for
there would be many besides the
boys of Amsterdam to lament the
disappearance of so quaint and in
teresting survival of the past.

Wen BE Going Home.

One of these days DER the rivers foam
Wen be going home
Well be going home!
Home to the beautiful shores of rest,
In the song or Silence God deems best.
In the thorn-thiek ways no more to roam,
Well be going home
Well be going home!
From lowly valleys or sunlit dome
Well be going home
Well be going home!
With a sigh, maybe for the folded years
That were only kind with the gift of tears!
The bells ring clear Ger the rivers foam,
Well be going home
Well be going home!
