animated but subdued conversation
with three friends. Another fad of the

Henrik 1bsen, the Norwegian author,
loves to keep his hair in disorder.
This is said to be his one vanity. He
always carries a little toilet case, con-
tanning looking glass and a comb,
which are attached to the lining of his
gray hat. He will often remove his
hat to look into the mirror to see how
his hair is lying. If it is not rough
enough to suit his fancy he uses the
comb TO give it the requisite tangle.

human intelligence and sensitivsness
to wild animals is student of the
life of Benjamin Franklin. and has at
his tongues end a number of Frank
lin stories that are but little known.
According to one of these stories, q
Philadelphia neighbor of Franklin said
to him one day:
II keep a barrel of beer in my bach
yard, and .unprincipled persons olimt
the fence at night with pals and
pitchers to rob me. 1t is necessary
for me to keep the beer in this yard

are so clever-some way Of preserving

Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church,
was very proud of his memory for
names and faces. Strangers wondered
at his readiness in calling by name the
numerous members of the Sunday
School connected with the church. But
one of the elders of his church tells of
one occasion when the doctor showed
no evidence of his remarkable gift. ",
while Dr. Hall was taking his GUS
tomary walk down Fifth avenue one
morning" he said, "a young man
stopped him, saying: -
"'Good morning, DIR. Hall, I'm very
glad to see you. Don't you remember
me?'

for some seconds, replied: / must con
