Curious Lawsuit In ceyIon.

A curious lawsuit regarding the
ownership of lands was tried recently
in Ceylon. The trouble originated at
an archery competition held by King
Parakrania Bahu W., who ruled over
Ceylon in the fifteenth century. in
which there were two champions who
outdistanced all the rest and alike hit
every mark that was submitted to
them. The king was about to divide
the prize when from a neighboring
pond frog was heard to croak. The
king seized upon solution and de-
clared that whichever could hit the
frog, aiming only by ear. should gain
the prize. One Of the archers trans.
fixed the frog with the arrow. So de.
lighted was the monarch that, besides
the original. prize. he gave to the win.
ner an estate .of $4,000 acres. The
present claimants in the lawsuit were
the descendants Of the archer.

The stinos In Little Things.

We call him strong who stands unmov'
ed
Calm as some tempest-beaten rock
When some great trouble hurls Its
shock.
We say of him his strength is proved,
But when the spent storm folds Its
wings,
How bears he then life's little things7
And I can tread beneath my feet
The hills of passions heaving sea,
When wind-tossed waves roll stormily
Yet scarce resist the siren sweet
That at my hearts door softly sings;
Forget, forget life's little things"
I can forgive-'tis worth my while
The treacherous blow. the cruel thrust;
Can bless my foe as Christians must.
When patience smiles her royal smile;
Yet fierce resentment quickly sings
It's shots of ire at little things.
But what is this? Drops make the sea;
And petty cares and small events.
Small causes and small consequents.
Make up the sum for you and me.
Then, o for strength to meet the stings
That arm the points of little things!

A soFT.HEARTED BAKER.

Assumed Woes Of Actress Too Much
for His composure.
Recently new play was performed
III Prague, the principal characters In
which are a beautiful young lady and
u brilliant young officer.b but are unable
to marry because they are as poor "a
church mice. True, the young lady
has, very rich uncle, from whom she
hopes to obtain aid, but she very soon
discovers that he is an arrant miser
and will not give her farthing.
The woes of the lovers touched the
hearts of many in the audience, but
only one person proved really equal to
the occasion. This was worthy and
wealthy baker, who had actually been
moved to tears by the distressing
scenes on the stage. At last his heart
overlooked. and the moment the rich
uncle vanished with bitter sneer at
his niece's folly on his lips. he rushed
from his seat to the footlights, and,
taking a well-filled purse from his
pocket, handed 1t to the astonished
heroine, saying:
Here, take this-you'n find good
dowry in it-and have nothing more
to do with that wretched miser."
Every one in the theater roared al
the good fellows simplicity and gen
erosity, but he could not see that he
had done anything unusual, and, as
he refused to take back the purse, the
heroine. with a smile, laid it on 9
table, and the play went on.

Missing No Opportunity.

A large, good natured man was
greatly attracted to little girl In the
dining room of an uptown hotel the
other day. She was about two and a
half years old, was beginning to run
about and talk a good deal, and also
appeared to be at home in the hotel.
After smiling at him across the din
ing room and making friends with him
at distance he accosted her in the
hall. He asked her the regulation
questions put by strangers to children,
all of which she answered as promptly
as her baby fashion would permit.
Finally the man shook hands with
her and said: You are a nice little
girl. Shall bring you box of candy
tomorrow"
The little one looked puzzled mo-
ment, then spoke up brightly:
mo- 90 better doe Diet it now!"
She got the candy that evening.

SOAP in Early DAYS.

Before soap was invented what did
the ancients do to keep clean? Pliny
is the first to mention soap and he de-
clares it to be an invention Of the
Gauls, though he prefers the German
to the Gallo soap. 1t was made in
England in early times, for Richard
of Devices, writing in the reign OF
Richard l., quotes the words Of "a
French Jew, who wrote still earlier:
"At Bristol there is nobody who is not
or has not been a soapmaker." In
the reign Of Edward I. soap was large
ly manufactured at Coventry. In Lon.
don the first soap works were estab'
lished in 1924. Soap seems to have
deteriorated in Elizabeth's reign; his.
torians record that good soap was al
most an impossible luxury and clothes
had to be washed with hemlock, net.
ties and refuse soap. 1t lis not men

as follows:
81. The loss Of moisture is less q

"2. The commercial quality d

Noted Chefs In Contest.

Two chefs, one named Petit and
employed in Pittsburg hotel, the
other named Dowst and superintend-
ing the culinary department of hos
telry in Montana, are going to have
a cooking contest. Each will serve a
dinner of seven courses, the one pro-
ducing the best meal to receive $1,000
Dowst believes in cooking without the
use of liquors, while Petit contends
that many viands can be greatly i'm
proved with dash of brandy or wine
The contest will not only test the skill
of the men, but show whether fine
cooking can be done on lines of tee
totalism.

WEIGHT Of Children.

The weight Of growing child is
the most important index to its gen.
eral health. A child Of five years, for
instance, should weigh about as many
pounds as it is inches high. AS rule
this will be 40 pounds. When child
is rather heavier in proportion to its
height it is a sign of good health. A
deficiency of weight in proportion to
height is always an unfavorable sign.
Any interruption in the progress OF
|, increase of weight, especially during
tfe'continuance of growth, must be a
danger signal that should not be neg
lected.

AsToR SPENDS MONEY FREELY

BILE In England.

DIG III GU8tdHos
One OF the most extravagant house
holds in England is that of William
Waldorf Astor, whose son William is
now in this country. Astor, ST., Is
entertaing large house parties in
Cliveden. 1t would be hard to excel
the Astor hospitality. A band Of ten
musicians is stationed permanently
in Cliveden. Every night this band
plays and the guests may dance or
not, as they choose. A few weeks
ago the duchess Of Wellington was
the Astors' chief guest. She said
she was dying to have some ANA
teur theatricals." She wrote out a
list of costumes and the steward was
sent to London for them. A stage
was built in the ballroom and scenes
were painted hurriedly. This enter
tainment for the duchess cost a great
deal. Since young William Aston has
been in America nothing has been
heard of him in a social way. He
served in His Majesty's guards and
is as British as though he were q
John Bull by birth.

Wlnterlna Bees.

vvUUsStb0 SSSes
Mr.. John Fixtes. apiarist at the ex'
detrimental farm at Ottawa, giving evil
dence by the standing committee on
agriculture on the wintering OF bees,
said:
We have tried very extensive ex'
periments in wintering bees In the
following situations: In the cellar OF
private house; in the root-house,
where the roots are kept; In q pit,
that is hole dug in the ground on
q hill side; out of doors, on their
summer stands. and also in the house
apiary. We found that wintering In
the cellar is the best method In this
section of the country, and am safe
in saying, 1t is better to winter IN
the cellar in any section Of the coun'
try where the thermometer goes down
to 10 below zero. The amount OF
honey consumed by outside wintering
will be about one-fourth or one-half
more than 1t will be by wintering
inside; In that way 1t compares very
favorably with the wintering of AMI
around a straw stack, 1t takes very
much more feed to keep up the animal
heat. 1t is the same with bees.
Keep the bees at an even tempera'
ture, 45 to 46 degrees. and in fairly
good cellar; 1t is not necessary that
the cellar should be perfectly dry.
The best way to arrange the hives In
the cellar is to place a block about
three inches thick under the entrance
to the hive so as to raise them from
the bottom board. Most people when
they have purchased two or three
hives, think that they must prevent
the bees from coming out of the hive
during the winter and put the wire
gauze over the entrance: the newt
able result is that they smother their
bees. It is far better on the contrary
to give them free ventilation at the
| bottom.

Prettiest New York Girl.

BY general consent Miss Anita
Stewart, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Rhinelander Stewart, is voted the
prettiest girl in New York. She is
only 16 years old and will not enter
society for two years, but she often
goes to the matinee with her COVER
ness and, therefore, many persons
have had occasion to note her great
beauty. Miss Stewards hair is light
brown, with golden CLINT. Her eyes
are of the drowsy, oriental type, with
long lashes, but when she grows in.
teres.ed in play her eyes become
animated. Her complexion is perfect
and her nose has slight tilt that is
fetching. She is tall and graceful.
