When the bishop of Truro, DIR. Colt,
was dean of Worcester his absent
mindedness was so notorious that he
earned for himself the sobriquet of
Dean For-Gott."
On one occasion he had invited some
friends TO dine with him. On their ar
rival, a short time before the dinner
hour. he suggested that in the interval
of waiting his friends would perhaps
like to walk through the grounds.
After spending about quarter of an
hour in adniring the flowers, shrubs
and greenhouses they suddenly came
upon door in the garden vail. Il
"Ah!' said the dean to his astonished
guests. This will be much nearer
way for you to so home than by going
back to the 'front.' And, forgetting
his Invitation, he opened the door and
bowed them out.

A Common weakness.

DR.. Joseph lie Conte was an author
ity, recognized by the world at large,
on the science of vision. One day he
was showing a class how to detect the
blind spot in the human eye. He took
two coins and held them, one in each
hand. before him on the table.
Look at both of these steadily" said
he, land gradually move them in op-
posite directions. Presently they will
pass beyond the range of vision. That
is due to the blind spot. Continue the
movement, and the coins win again
emerge to view"
Then the philosopher and naturalist
had his little joke. you can expert
ment for yourself at home,' said he.
But if you are unsuccessful try some
other object instead of coin. Some
people have no blind spot for money"

A good story of Whistler aud his pc
culiarities is told in the Free Lance,
A gentleman Went to Whistler with a
letter of introduction and sent up his
card with the letter. The servant pres
emily brought down the card with n
note in pencil on it-"Who is the great
est painter?" The visitor promptly
wrote whistler and was Immediate

followed, arising out of the fact that
the visitor was wearing a red necktie.
Whistler declared it interfered with the
color scheme of his room and put him

him to take off the offending cravat be-
fore he would condescend to exchange
another word with him.

Eskin,o Maska.

The Eskimo, are the greatest of all
mask makers. During their religious
ceremonials they impersonate their own
various gods, wearing masks for the
purpose, but the most curious thing is
that they Wear little masks on their
fingers as we'll rs big ones to cover
their faces. These finger masks, the
like of which are unknown anywhere
else in the world, usually represent the
sun. They are of wood, carved with a
laughing or weeping face, and the rays
of the sun are represented by white
hair from the belly of the wild REIN
deer set around as fringe. The sun is
the most important Of the Eskimos' d.
whites, and the principal object Of the
winter ceremonial is to persuade the
sun god to come back from the south.

North river ferryboat.
"He translated the European CORE

confinement. We live in the same
town, and one evening he came to me
and asked for job as deck hand.

II tried to find something that would
pay better, but there was nothing that
would give him as much good air, and
he got the job. Now that his health
is restored he is loath to give it up

1t was in France that brotherhoods

In lis n bridge was begun over the
Rhone at Ayignon by Saint Benezet,

repairing of bridges during the middle
ages. A second soon followed at st.
Esprit.

hood in England, began the first stone
bridge over the Thames at London.
In many cases when bridge was
built chapel was founded, to which
a priest Was attached to pray for the
soul of the founder, to receive money
and to offer prayers with the passen-
gers for a safe journey.
The strange Gothic triangular bridge
at Crowland, over three streams, allud.
ed to in n charter of 943, was built by
the abbot of Crowland, and Abbot
Bernard built the Burton bridge over

VERY LENGTHY sHAlEs.
Razor Travels Maay Miles over the


Average Mans Face.
The distance n man shaves in an av.
erage lifetime, or the distance his ra.
Zor travels over his face, will be sur
prise to most people. From a multi
tude of examples an average measure
ment around the chin from ear to ear
is found to be twelve and one-half
inches. From where the beard starts
on the throat to the chin and thence to
the edge of the upper lip is four and
one-half inches. You must reckon that
1t Is necessary TO give two strokes of
the razor to each inch or fraction of
an inch in order to cover all the sur
face and so over each section of the
face twice in order to secure clean
surface.
So multiplying the number of
strokes by the number of times the ra-
zor Is passed over the entire face, you
get the figure 4, and four times the
two above mentioned measurements
gives you the figures 80 and is respec-
lively, which, added together, produce
GS. Therefore the average man, wheth-
er dark or fair, shaves "a inches every
twenty-four hours. With these figures
we arrive ut the result that every man
wearing only mustache shayes 2,O6S
feet inches per year. Taking, then,
the average life at seventy years and
that the fair man starts shaving at
eighteen and the dark man year ear
lier, or at seventeen, we have the fol-
lowing result: That a fair man, if he
lives till he is seventy, will shave in
the course of his life 20 miles $50
yards 4 inches. The dark man, if he
lives till he is seventy. will shave in
the course of his life 20 miles 1910
yards ] foot s inches.-Kansas City

The Foot A.trny.

William +. Cody was once relating a
story which concerned an Indian who
had met with an accident in Buffalo
Bill show. 1t was necessary to ampu-
tate the. Indians leg, and In the de-
scription of this operation Cody was
interrupted frequently by young doc
tor who injected technical and medical
terms into the straight vernacular of
the scout. He was irritatcd, but ig-
nored the doctor. "a few days after
the operation" continued the narrator.
"the Indian learned that his leg had
been buried. With whoop he leaped
from his bed and jumped upon the doc
tor with both feet"
Jumped with both feet after an op-
eration?' shouted the doctor, exulting
in his exposure of the great scouts ab-
surd story.
Il said upon the doctor with both
feet" explained Cody, sin order to
distinguish him from the other hospital
physician, WHO had only one foot, hav-
ing put the other into peoples affairs
SO often that lie lost it."

The Chinese Love For the ZigxnE.
The straight line is an abomination
to the Chinese. They endeavor to
avoid it in their streets and buildings
and have banished it completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They will always substitute curve
whenever possible, or they will torture
1t into zigzag.
In districts not subject to the influ-
ence of the foreigner the houses and
temples are characterized by curved,
often peaked, roofs, ornamented with
fantastic notifications OF the myriad
stroke PATTERN The inhabitants of
such regions are soon found to have a
mental world to correspond. The
straight line is secuted. They think in
curves and zigzags. To, the Chinese
mind the straight line is suggestive of
death and demons. 1t belongs not to
the heaven above or to the earth be-
Meath In Il true horizon line are seen
the Cancellations of the dragon" There
fore, argue the Chinese, the straight
line pertains to Contemporary
Review

persons realize how difficult it is to

The origin of the sentiment, "Old
wood to burn, old wine to drink, old
friends to trust, old authors to read" is
somewhat obscured. Bacon found that
Alfonso of Aragon was wont to say in

John Webster QG3S) went further in
declaring, "Old wine wholesomest, old
pippins toothsomest.' and that "old

Conquer says. "Old friends, old times,
old manners, old books. old wine"
