Horse. with Four White Feet.

In France and l believe in European
countries it is most ominous sign
for rider. and especially soldier, to
want horse with four white feet. The
famous general Lasalle, who was very
superstitious upon this point, never
knowingly mounted such horse. The
day of his death. after several ominous
events which had happened to him
that day. such as a broken mirror, a
broken pipe, the picture of his wife
broken at the very moment when he
went to look at it for the last time. he
mounted horse not his own without
glancing at the feet The horse had
the unlucky signs. Mounted upon this
horse, he was struck by shot fired at
a moment when fighting had ceased by
a Croat among the prisoners just taken
at the battle Of Wagram.
On the other hand. these four white
feet are a mark and token of consid-
Grafton with the orientals. who do not
fail to mention the fact in the pedigrees
of their horses.

What I. Said About Ears.

You never saw poet or painter
with large, coarse ears that stand out
from the head like extended wings
That kind of an auricular appendage
betokens coarseness Of mind. A long.
narrow ear that lies fat to the head is
a sign of pugnacity. Never trust man
with a thin. waferlike ear. He was
born hypocrite, if not thief. A very
small ear betokens a trifling mind, lack
ing decision. Ears set very high on
the head indicate narrowness Of mind.
A large, welkshaped ear that does not
spread itselffto' the breeze is indicative
of generousness. Most Of the world
compellers had large ears and well de.
veloped noses. Although there are SO
many millions Of people in the world,
no two pairs Of ears are alike. Each
has marked individuality.

The Forsetmenot.

Everybody knows the pretty little
forgetmenot and likes the flower more
perhaps because Of it's name than it's
beauty. How was it so called? The
Germans account for it by quite pa
thetic romance. 1t seems that once up
on a time knight and lady were
walking by the bank Of the Danube
when the latter asked her gallant gay
to pluck for her tiny blue flower
which she saw growing in the stream.
No sooner said than done, but the
knight. overwhelming. fell into the riv-
er and, owing to the slippery nature of
the bank and the weight Of his own ar
NOR, was carried away by the current.
AS he threw the flowers ashore to his
lady he cried out with his last breath.
"Vergiss mein nicht!' c'Forget me not. y
And ever since the flower has been
looked upon as the emblem of fidelity.

QUEEREsT OF AWsulfs.
Il x HfEhwayman Sued His Partner
For HIS share Of Spells.

" HfEhwayman Sued His Partner
For HIS share Of spells.
| Perhaps the most remarkable suit
ever brought Is on the records Of the
court of the exchequer i'll England. 1t
was filed on Oct. 3, 1925, and 1t sets
forth very clearly that John Everit and
Joseph Williams We're highway rob
bers.
In its succinct legal phrases the com.
plaint says that the men formed a
partnership for the purpose Of carry
Jig o.. bi.s:,i.s,;s x; hiGhWaymen. 1t
was mighty profitable, as was shown
by the fact that Everit sued Williams
for the equivalent Of $4,000, "being for
moneys wrongfully appropriated to de-
PENDANTS private purse"
This was the amount in dispute after
the partnership had lasted only year.
Then Everit claimed that he discov-
cred that his partner had not made a
fair division of the spoils.
The action was adjudged to be =
gross contempt of court, and the plain.
tiff was ordered to pay all costs, while
the solicitors who served the writ were
fined. One of the solicitors, man
named Wreathcock, refused to pay tie
fine and was sent to prison for Sin
months. Both plaintiff and defendant
to the action were subsequently hang
ed, one at Tyburn and the other at
Maidstone.

TIC Glass we Emf.

"How much glass 90 you suppose you
consume daily?" physician asked of
one Of his patients the other day. says
the Philadelphia Record, and then went
on, in response to the others interroga-
tive look: "It is fact that we all swal
low each day more or less glass. the
manufacturers not yet having reached
the point where their product is imper-
vious to the action of fluids He who
drinks beer consumes the most glass.
A chemical analysis Of any bottled beer
inevitably reveals some of glass con
stituents. But the water drinker, too.
swallows his share. In carafe or in
glass pitcher have you never noticed
the odd line which marks the level that
the water has had? Well. that line
shows how the water has changed liz
appearance of the glass slightly by al
sorbing some of it's components. And
so every dsy, when we drink beer or
water or milk, we consume little glass.
But it does us no harm. | have yet to

Trivial cnu.e. of wars.

History records one war that was
caused by glass of water-the war of
the Spanish succession. A lady, Mrs.
Masham, a celebrated court beauty.
was carrying glass Of weter when she
was INSTRUCTED by the Marquis de To,
rey. A slight scuftie ensued, and the
water was spilled. The marquis lost
his temper. and bad feeling ensued bS
tween the English and French courts,
with the ultimate result that war was
declared. The campaign cost France
many severe battles viz. BlenhelM.
1904; Families. 1907; Audenardi. 170S,
and Malplaquit, 1909.
Fully as absurd in its origin was the
war that took place during the COM
monwealth of Modena. a soldier stole
a bucket from Il public well belonging
to the state of Bologna. Although the
value of the article did not exceed !.
few pennies, the incident was the signal
for a fierce and prolonged war. Henry,
the king Of Sardinia. assisted the Mo
denese to retain the bucket, and in one
of the subsequent battles he was made
q prisoner The bucket is still exhibit
ed in the tower of the cathedral OF Mo

London Police Methods.

This is the modus operandi Of Lon
don's police: Two citizens engage in a
street fight; crowd gathers to see the
mill; four "bobbies" appear. working
their way through the press with a "by
your leave" or kindly let me pass"
they have neither billies nor guns. Two

O. ye'self? What's the good o'-fightin' ?

by a pat on the shoulder and gentle
shove away from the scene of conflict.
Rarely is there an arrest. A brutal

lice are peacemakers.-New York Press.

Lfuuid Oxygen.

Liquid oxygen when first formed Is
milky in appearance owing to the pres
ence Of some impurity which may be
removed by passing it through ordi-
nary filter paper. When pure, it is of
a pale blue color, which, however, is
not due, as some have thought, to the
presence of liquid ozone, which is of &
dark blue color. Liquid oxygen is a
nonconductor of electricity, but is
strongly magnetic. 1t may be lifted
from a cup by presenting the poles of
a strong electro magnet. 1t seems to
have very slight chemical activity,
since it will eNtinguish Il lighted match
and has no action on Il piece of phos-
phorus dropped into it. 1t is well
known that the A and B lines of the
solar spectrum are due to oxygen. and
from experiments on the top of Mont
Blanc it is thought they are largely if
not wholly due to the oxygen in the
earth's atmosphere. Professor Dewar
showed that these lines come out very
strong when liquid oxygen is inter-
posed in the path of the rays from an
electric lamp.

4 KINGS rorN,.
Autograph Verses BY James I. IN .
Book Owned In Boston.

+ n
An interesting volume in the Boston
Public library is Montaigne's Els
says printed early in the seventeenth
century, which was owned by James
l., the English king who was so largely
responsible for the publication of the
accepted version of the Holy Bible.
The book Is the first English transla-
,tion Of the great French author and
was made by John Florio, a friend Of
many of the famous Elizabethan writ
ers, including Shakespeare himself,
who drew several suggestions from its
pages for well known passages in his
plays.
. The Boston library copy has mod
ern binding, but the ancient fly leaf is
preserved on which is written the fol-
lowing poem, in King James auto
graph:
Here lyeth nakit to the anatomie
OF my fraill HART, o humane devitie
o trust the Almychtie. lyk the Almychtie's
word
put on me thy robe as guhylom lord
Thou putest once more me in thy blest
beliefe
And in my souill thy secretst law engrave.
The queer words and quaint spelling
are characteristic of early Scotch poe
try, which King james, as Scotch
man himself, took great delight in
writing, and perhaps the average reader
will have no more difficulty in decipher-
ing the royal meaning than in making
out page in modern Scotch dialect

All true Moslems when eating must
begin with salt and finish with vine
gar. If they begin with salt, they will
escape the contagion of seventy dis.
eases. If they finish with vinegar,
their worldly prosperity will continue
to increase. The host Is in etiquette
bound to be the first to start eating
and the last to leave off. Tooth pick
ing is considered an act of grace in
the true Moslem. for the angel Gabriel
is reported to have brought tooth

passages Of the Koran before and after

milit.ry salute..

OF military salutes, raising the right
hand to the head is generally believed
to have originated from the days Of the
tournament. when knights filed past
the throne of the queen Of beauty, and.
by way of compliment, raised their
hands to their brows to imply that her
beauty was too dazzling for unshaded
eyes to gaze upon. The officers salute
with the sword has double meaning.

The Gardener Bird.

The highest development Of the dec

the gardener bird (amblyornis). This
plain looking native of New Guinea
builds its nest on the ground. spreads
moss before it and over this green car
pet scatters bright berries. flowers and
insects. AS. the flowers wither they
are replaced by fresh ones. The whole
establishment serves only as sort OF
pleasure resort.
