opening was firm and unchanged from
the close of the previous day, with
reported sales of So bales. This tone
and these prices were maintained
throughout the day to the close. No
further sales We're reported. not be-

Street Arabs Who Rise.

Newsboys and street arabs often

work into commercial houses Is aston

and prosperous business men OF Amer

no one realizes how many work Their

know the value OF friends. So they are

Webster md Jenny Lind.

The following quaint story OF Daniel
Webster and Jenny Lind Is told in
"Washington tiie Capita City"
1t chanced that on the day Of Jenny
Lind's appearance several members OF
the cabinet and senate were the guests
at dinner Of the Russian minister, and
the concert was half over when Web
ster and the other members Of the par
ty entered the hall. When the ap-
plause with which they were received
had subsidized the second part OF the
concert was opened by the gifted
Swede with "Hail, Columbia"
Deeply moved by the patriotic air,
Webster at the close OF the first verse
rose and added his rich, sonOrous voice
To- the chorus. His wife, who sat be-
hind him, pulled at his coat tall to
make him stop singing, but at the
close OF each verse the volunteer basso
ioined I'm. and none could tell whether
Lind. Webster or the audience was
most delighted.
AS the last notes Of the song died
away Webster, hat in hand, made q
profound bow to the singer. Jenny
Lind, blushing at the honor, courtesied,
while the audience applauded to the
echo. Webster, not TO be outdone In
politeness, bowed again. Again LIND
courtesied, the house arDlauded, and
this was repeated nine times.

The Khyengs of Burma are probably
the only race or tribe of people that
have any tradition OF the origin OF the
human race that do not have man or
male human being In some way con-
nected with that important event. The
Khyeng genesis opens in this wise: In
the beginning Of the world, after the
sun, moon and stars had appeared. the
earth by its own inherent power of pro-
ductiveness brought forth female
creature, which was called Hleeneu.
She laid 100 eggs and hatched them In
cotton wool. and from them sprang 100
human beings. the progentors OF the
different races" The least that can be-
said Of this curious belief Is that 1t Is a
fine illustration OF the multiple theory
as applied to the origin of the human
race.

yrrcpIops SyyindIe In Curios.

The craze for antiques and curlos is
responsible for some ingenious swim
dies. but II is doubtful IL many could
surpaSs that which victimlzed an
American woman travelling abroad who
while In holland purchased some al

close examination to be common gran

shapes and decorated I'm Dutch fashion

American enterprise is frequently en-
countered in various ways In Europe.
as. for instance. the experience OF an
American gentleman in London who
bought a pair OF rubber overshoes in a
London shoe shop which were unusual
ly satisfactory. On examining them
preparatory TO buying another pair he
made the discovery that they were
manufactured in Providence, X. l., by
an American firm. although they were
sold as English rubbers or gums"

Flat Wheels.

"Flat Wheel" growled the old retired
conductor as the trolley car in which
he sat went humping along at twelve
miles an hour, shaking the passengers
uncomfortably ut every revolution OF
the wheels.

man sitting next to the conductor.
Fools" said the conductor. Its this
way: III n man doesn't know Low to
stop his car he makes a fat wheel. On
the steam roads some brakemen fatten
wheel every time they put on
brake. When the wheel suddenly stops
revolving and the momentum OF the
train carries it along the wheel slides
along the track. and fiat Is S,lrted.

brakeman knows his business lie need

every other car I'm some places has a

Afnu Women.

When Ainu, especially Ainu women,
meet after a separation that has last
ed some time they have pretty way
Of telling each other their experiences
in a sort Of chant, and In the pleasant
sound of their singulS.ly sweet voices
one forgets their wild and unkempt
looks. The japanese women are equal
ly remarkable for the sweetness OF
their voices, but have the advantage
over their Ainu sisters Of delicate and
dainty ways, the charm Of which the
most stolid globe trotter is constrained
TO own. III the women Of Ainu-moshi-
ri. as the Ainu call their land, are the
drudges OF the men in their youth and
middle age their opportunity for re-
venge comes with the lapse OF years.
The curses Of an angry old woman
excite the utmost terror In the bravest

One Sunday morning during the read

Hanging rooms with holly wreathS
and punches OF mistletOe is a time hon
ored custom which can be traced 10 the
DAYS of the Roman saturnalia and even
early Persian customs. Our own custom
Of decorating our rooms at Christmas
comes more Immediately from ancient
Germany, where evergreens were hung
IN honor Of the midwinter festival
The Druids used TO cut the mistletoe
from their sacred oaks with elaborate
ceremony. A golden knife was used
TO sever the parasite from the tree.
During the ceremony two white bulls
were sacrificed. and music and process
sional formed part Of the rite. The
groves of Mona. once the favorlte re
treat Of the British Druds, were cut
down by the all conquering Romans
and have passed from the popular mem
ory. but the mistletoe. which the old
Druids called "all healing" Is still an
object of vencration. In some parts
Of England a berry Is plucke1 from the
mistletoe for every kiss that Is given
under II. and when there are no more
berries left 10 more kisses are allowed.

Rattan Comes From Singapore.

Strange as II may seem many people
imagine that rattan and willow furnl-
ture are the same. Rattan Is the chi
nese importation. brought direct from
Singapore and Is reed susceptible OF
bending double without even cracking.
1t possesses. besides this, great firm
ness and strength. and a chair Of rat
tan could be thrown from an express
train and picked up intact. Rattan Is
therefore used for such articles as bas-
kets and lighter ornamental furniture.
Each has its use, the rattan, however.
being better adapted for working up
into intricate designs.

The costliest meal ever served, ac-
cording to history, was supper given
by Elius Verus, one Of the most lavish
of all the Romans of the latter days. to
a dozen guests. The cost was 6,OOO ses-
tertia. which would amount TO S2i2.5OO.
A celebrated feast given by Viteilius, a
Roman emperor of tLose days. to his
brother Lucius cost little more than
5000, 900. Suetonius says that the ban
auet consisted of 1000 different dishes

Myrtle.

The creeping plant we call myrtle Is
not a myrtle at all, but should be called
by its proper name. periwinkle. Botan-

blue flowers are very pretty. In Tus-
