TmmOrteIIes.

The manufacture of immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least
1900 persons. The immortelles are
gathered about the beginning of Octo-
Der and come chiefly from the arid hills
in the middle and south of France.
They are brought to the markets in
their natural condition, and the yellow
blossoms are dyed green, red and
white and woven into wreaths by spe-
cial workmen in readiness for All
Saints and All Souls days, when all
good Parisians visit their relatives
graves. On these "fetes des morris"
the gates Of the cemeteries are beset
with crowds Of dealers in immortelle
wreaths, wire crosses and bead
crowns At Pere la Chaise alone more
than 100000 persons are calculated to
visit the cemetery, and the sale Of i'm
mortelle wreaths varies from 10000 to
25.OOO.-Golden Penny.

Women of Muscle.

In the time of Louis XIV. there was
an actress engaged at the Theatre
Francais-Mlle Gauthier-who could
break a coin between the fingers of one
hand and roll a silver plate into the
form of a cup of conical shape. No
one could bear the pressure of her
hand, and only Maurice de Sake, one
of the strongest men of his time. was
able to open her closed hand.
In the same century there lived in
England woman, Miss Bette Thomp-
son, who could break chains with her
hand.
Miss Kerra, young mulattO woman,
who appeared in most of the capitals in
Europe, was, we believe, the first to
perform the feat, while hanging with
the bend of her knees in q trapeze, of
holding a man at his belt with her
teeth and turning him rapidly round
with her hands.

The People Next Door.

The reason why the people next door
are invariably regarded as most worthy
Of our javelins is plain to me. They
have a piano. l do not know Of any
race that is quite so unpleasant as the
people next door. They are not like
any ordinary people who live else
where. They obtain their music on the
hire system, as it were, and it is gen
orally Of the type we most detest. Are
we worldly minded? They chasten us
obtrusively with hymns--or Mendels-
sohn, who is for some obscure reason
regarded as moral force in the sub
urbs. Are we of the elect? They hurl
at us with defiant persistency the latest
blood curdler from the halls" The
thing that passes with them for a pi-
ano is called upon to do the work Of
three, and the wall dividing our re-
spective houses, be it borne in mind, is
a beautiful conductor of sound.-Out-

The Shortest TwfIfght.

The period of twilight shortens to-
ward the equator and lelgthens to-
ward the poles. In other words. the
less the thickness of the air through
which the rays Of the setting sun have
to pass the sooner darkness comes.
From this it naturally. follows that the
region of the shortest twilight is the
ON which is situated nearest to the
equa Or and at the greatest elevation.
These two conditions are combined
in the region in which stands Quito,
the capital of Ecuador. The plateau is
9,442 feet above the level of the sea. 1t
is also surrounded by mountains, TWEEN
ty peaks. eleven of which rise beyond
the snow line, being visible from the
streets of the city. Added to this, it is
only fifteen miles south Of the equator;
hence it has q shorter twilight than
any other spot on the equator partly
because of the elevation and partly be-
cause the western mountains intercept
the rays of the setting sun and SO
cause darkness to follow daylight with
greater rapidity than at any other spot
on earth.

The Upright Judge

A New York magistrate and his
friend were returning from banquet
arm in arm and were giving way to
mirth and song when they found
themselves confronted by the police.
The magistrate made his escape, but
on the following day as he sat on the
bench, grave, dignified and alert, as
usual" he saw his dear and valued
friend charged with being drunk and
disorderly. He listened to the charge
unmoved beyond a panied expression
on his face and, after calling upon the
prisoner to explain his conduct, adj
dressed him in his most severely judi
cial manner and in scathing tones.
Never had he heard a more disgraceful
case, and it was so much the more dis
graceful from the fact that the pris-
oner evidently was respectfully con-
nected and moved in what was called
(here he became very sarcastic good
society. He felt it was a matter where
leniency would be surely out of place.
and the fine must be the maximum
which the law allowed.

The Garden of Eden.

According to the best authorities, it
was in Armenia that the garden of
Eden spoken of in the book of Gene
sis was planted. Most of the evidence
in support of this theory is topograph-
ical. The Bible says that the garden
was watered by river running
through it which afterward divided
into four heads. The names of these
are given as Pison, Gibon, Hiddekel
and Euphrates. There is little diff
Guilty about the latter, and Hiddekel Is
commonly identified with the Tigris,
both of which rivers rise in the noun
tains of Armenia. The others are To-
Gated by assuming them to be Aras
and the Kur, streams which also rise
in the Armenian hills. In old docu-
ments Armenia Is often referred to as
the '1and of the four rivers" or 'the
cradle of the human race" Though
Armenia does not go quite back to the
time of Adam, the country's history is
traced to it's first ruler, Haig, the great
grandson of Japheth.

A Modern Antique.

A story which Mr.. Davenport told OF
Pistrucci has its point for collectors.
Pistrucci was an Italian and chief en-
graver at the mint. 1t is, by the way,
to him that England is indebted for the
fine group Of St George and the drag
on on the reverse of the sovereign. He
insisted that modern work in cameo
could be quite as fine as ancient work.
A ''potboiler" head of Flora which he
engraved and sold to dealer for 70
was afterward sold as an antique to
Richard Payne Knight for $500.
knight took the cameo in triumph to
Pistrucci. Where can you get modern
work like that?" he asked. Pistrucci
smiled and claimed the antique for his
own. knight would not believe him.
Examine the roses" said the artist,
"and you will see that they are modern
flowers" The point was admitted by
others, but never by knight, who be-
Queathed the gem and the rest of his
collection to the nation. Mr.. Daven-
port said that but for the roses an ex-
pert would undoubtedly pronounce Pts
truccrs cameo a fine antique.-Man-
chester Guardian.

Extraordinary Legal Document

One of the most remarkable legal pa
pers on file in the archives of the world
is one now in the National museum of
Paris, labeled Sentence ON hog, exc
cuted by justice in the copyhold of
Clarmont-Avin and strangled upon a
gibbet at that place." 1t is sealed with
red wax, kept under a glass, bears
date of June II, 1894, and reads as fol-
lows: eve, the jury, in detestation and
horror of this crime and in order to
make an example and to satisfy JUS
tice, have declared, judged, sentenced,
pronounced and appointed that the
said hog, now detained in the abbey
as a prisoner, shall by the executioner
be hung and strangled on gibbet near
the gallows which now stands within
the jurisdiction of the monk, being
near the copyhold of Alvin. In witness
of which we have sealed this present
with our SEALS" Following the above
are the signatures of the jurors and
the project of the department de la
AiSne.

ReDudiated National Debts.

Spain, at one time by far the most
powerful of European nations, was the
earliest power to contract national
debt, which in 1866 only amounted to
the modest sum Of f1,OO0,000. By 1910
it had grown to f4O,OO000O under Phil
ip Ill, after whose death the whole of
it was repudiated.
France in 1913 began to incur her
debt, chiefly through the wars of Louis
XIV. and the lavish expenditure in
building Versailles. In the later years
of Louis XVI. this amounted to f46S,-
100000, only to be repudiated on the
establishment of the republic, when
some creditors received 33 per cent
and others nothing.

An Oriental Sherlock Holmes.

A book on India tells of a native de-
tective whose methods were anything
but scrupulOus. One important matter
investigated was q robbery of about
half a lakh of rupees worth of silver
ingots about 5000 that was sent
down on camels with an escort of fif-
teen armed men from Indore to Kotah.
The escort was killed by Dacoits and
the silver taken. Isri Pershad, the orr
entail Sherlock Holmes, raSSeldar major
of a native regiment, made it his busi~
ness to bring these men to justice and
when asked in after years how he OBJ
tanned his proofs remarked, smilingly
stroking his beard. that if man was
judiciously strung up, spread eagle
wise, by his thumbs, much useful in
formation might be extracted, and,
having no marks of ill treatment to
show to the sahibs, he generally held
his tongue. Of a certain witness in
this case he wrote that he had "given
'awfully good evidence at the trial, but
as there was Just little discrepancy
between this and his previous deposit
tons before the political agent, when
the original files were called for by the
higher court, it would be better to
omit this one and say it had been eaten
by white ants"

Some Queer Definitions.

In the Bailey dictionary of 1874 the
word ''colibus" is defined as follows
"Colibus-a humming bird, which
makes a noise like whirlwind, though
it is no bigger than a fly. 1t feeds on
dew, has an admirable beauty of feath-
ers and a scent as sweet as that OF
musk or ambergris.'
The same authority thus describes
the loriot, or oriole: "Loriot-a bird
that, being looked upon by one that has
yellow jaundice, cures the person and
dies ITSELF
Delpino's dictionary Q7O3 says OF
the leopard: "Lleupard, or leopard-a
yellow beast, exceedingly swift, subtle
and fierce and of such a sweet SAVIOR
that it allures other beasts to it, by
which means they are caught and de-
vOured"

Natures Distillery.

Chemists at one time believed that
petroleum was formed in the depths of
the earth by the action Of water work
ing on metallic carbons in state of
fusion. Now that statement is chal-
lenged by some biologists, who contend
that petroleum is the result Of putre-
faction of animals which ages ago were
swallowed in enormous cataclysms,
similar to that at Mont Pelee. This
upheaval, says Professor Engler, buried
millions Of prehistoric quadrupeds, liz
ards, serpents and sea monsters, and
during all the cycles of years that have
elapsed since then the bodies Of these
animals have been distilled by Mother
Nature in her immense laboratory be-
meath the earth's surface. The result
Of this distiliation, according to this
theory. is petroleum.

The Habit of Minimizing Difficulties

You will find that the habit of mini
MIXING annoyances. or difficulties, of
making the best Of everything that
comes to you, of magnifying the pleas
ant and the agreeable and reducing to
the least possible Importance every
thing that is disagreeable or unpleas-
ant, will help you wonderfully not only
in your work, but also in your attain
ment of happiness. 1t transforms the
disagreeable into the agreeable, takes
the drudgery out of distasteful tasks,
eases the jolts of life wonderfully, and
it is worth infinitely more than money.
You will find yourself growing to be
a larger, completer man. The sunny,
buoyant, cheerful soul manages, with
out losing his equilibrium, to glide over
difficulties and annoyances which throw
others off their balance and make them
miserable and disagreeable. By the
alchemy of serenity he extracts from
the annoying rocks in his path the pre-
cious metal which enables him to do
something worth while-Orison SWEET
Marden in Success.

Where Latin Is Still SDOken

In the central part Of the Balkans,
far up in the mountains between Bull
garia, Servia and Turkey, there is a
community of mountaineers among
whom strangers seldom go. During
the ascendency Of the Roman en-
pire Roman colony was founded here
and then forgotten on account Of its
remoteness. For the reason that the
descendants of those ancient colonists
have never mixed with the people
about them they retain their original
characteristics, even to the language.
In several villages the Latin that the
peasants speak is so plain that stu
dents of classic authors can understand
them.

What Wrinkles Signify.

Wrinkled foreheads in children be-
token consumption, ricketts, or idiocy.
Vertical wrinkles of the brow come
early to men who do much brain work.
Arched and crossing wrinkles about
the lower middle of the forehead be-
token physical or mental suffering.
Fine close meshed wrinkles which COW
er the face, sign of age and decrepi-
tude, are caused by loss Of contractile
nervous force and are prevented by hot
bathing, friction and electricity.-At-
lanta Constitution.

Dead Mems Food In YUcatan.

From remote times the natives Of
Yucatan have been accustomed to
make offerings to the souls Of the de-
parted, particularly a certain pie that
they call flood of the SOUL" The crust
must be of yellow corn, the interior
tender chicken and small pieces Of
pork. These pies are wrapped in leaves
of the banana tree and baked under
ground between hot stones. When
done, they are placed on the graves
Or hung from trees close by. Some
times, after leaving them there for an
hour or two, the living take home the
pies and enjoy them, saying that the
souls have already drawn from them
all the ethereal part of the substance.

NOrse-American English.

There is one European country
where "the United States vernacular,'
or something very like it, is widely
spoken. Hosts of Norwegian young
women have been in domestic service
in America, and a good many Norwe-
gian young men have sought fortune
there with the result that transatlan-
tically accented English is not at all
an uncommon accomplishment in Nor
way. I remember one carriole driver
in particular who habitually rounded
off his remarks with you bet!'-Lon-
don Chronicle.
