One OF the famous Rothschilds was
once entertaining at dinner distn-
guished party. The dinner went on
admirably. Nothing marred the gen.
eral enjoyment save the silly loquacity
of one young man. This young man
insisted on monopolizing the converse
ton. He insisted on talking about him
self-about his books, his works, his
love affairs, his automobile. Finally
he jumped to his feet
by Jove! he said. 81 must show
you my new cuff buttons. | got them
this morning. They are malachite."
And he passed from one guest to an
other, exhibiting the buttons. "Mala-
shite," he kept repeating-"genuine
malachite."
Baron Rothschild watched the young
mans progress with a faint sneer.
When the buttons reached him he
touched them with his finger supercili-
ously and drawled: "Ah, malachite, eh?
1t is handsome stone. I have always
liked it. 1 have a mantelpiece of it in
the next ROOM"

A Hidden Warning.

1t is recorded in history that when
Darius, king of Persia, invaded Scythia
the ruler of the latter country, Idan-
thuras, sent him message consisting
Of a mouse, frog, bird, an arrow
and plow. The wisest men in the
army puzzled over the meaning of 1t,
which was conjectured to be that the
empire was surrendered. 1t was sup
posed that the mouse signified the
dwellings, the frog the waters, the
bird the air, the arrow the arms and
the plow the land.
But 1t turned out eventually that
the Interpretation intended was that
unless Darius and his soldiers could fly
like birds, burrow like mice or betake
themselves like frogs to the water they
would never escape the weapons of the
Scythlans and make their way out of
the country.

The German historian, Professor
Theodor Mommsen, was noted for the
facility with which he acquired Ian
guages. The tongues of modern Eu
rope as we'll as the classics were to
him not studies, but the familiar tools
of his daily work. An American re-
porter who was interviewing him some
years ago asked to have a certain ref
erence put into English, as he did not
read German well.
Not read German well? And you 4

man, German is one of the four neces-

Once at least in Egypt the loss OF his
eye in an earlier campaign proved n
great service to Lord Wolseley and his
army. He could get 10 information Of
the enemy's strength or position. An
Arab was captured proving around
our outposts and was brought before
him. 1t was ten to one the sullen fel-
low knew everything. Lord Wolscley
questioned him. The fellow answered
never word standing stolid between
the two soldiers. At last Il happy idea
struck the general. He said in Arabic:
ut is no use your refusing TO answer
me, for l am a wizard and at Il wish
can destroy you and your masters. To
prove this to you l will take out my
eye, throw it up, catch it and put it
back In my head" And, to the horror
and amazement of the fellow, Lord
Wolseey took out his glass eye, threw
it up, caught and replaced it. That
was enough. The Arab capitulated,
and the information he gave the staff
led to Arabi's defeat.-London Globe

The Birth of the OpaH.

There is beautiful little story told
about the opal, that delicate stone
which you have no doubt seen In rings
and bracelets. The story is that the
opal was long ago promised to any
body who could discover it. 1t lay hid
den away, so the old fortune tellers
used to say, at the place "where the
sunlight and the moonlight Joined"
each other, and whoever could find
that spot would be rewarded by
quantity of large, beautiful opals. Aft
er long search for the place "where
the sunlight and moonlight Joined"
each other the place was found by q
Spanish traveller, who followed up the
rays of the setting sun, and when he
lad reached the end of the last ray he
waited until the moonbeams shone up
on the earth, and there he found the
opals. They are said to be very lucky
stones for those who are born In the
fall of the year and very unlucky for
those born in the spring. OF course it
is only saying that these are lucky.
or unlucky, but the rest of the story 10
true, as you will believe if you look in
the heart of an opal and see the pink
tints of the sun and the blue rays of
the moon nesting in the middle of it.

Why They Waited.

A story is. told which couples the
names of Princess Mathilde and the
great painter Gerome. The princess
and the painter had both been invited
to dinner party. The princess arrived
punctually; the painter tarried until
long after the dinner hour was past
The guests concealed their impatience
as best they could, until at last the
princess suddenly said: "Why, l nearly

what Women Once Couldn't Wear.
Willie we may pick ana choose and
do exactly as we please about our
clothes, there have been in times gone
by, in many countries and even in our
own, what We're known as ''sumptuary
laws" These laws regulated expendi-
ture for dress, for ornament, for food
or for whatever refreshments you
might give company when they came
to take tea.
Among the first of these sumptuary
laws was one made in Rome in 215 b.
@. and called the "Oppian law" 1t de-
clared that no woman should possess
more than half an ounce of gold, wear
q dress Of different colors or ride in a
vehicle In the city or within u mile Of
1t except on occasions of public reli-
gious ceremonies. This law lasted only
twenty years.
Italy and France are the countries
where most of these laws have been
passed, and some of them read very
strangely. In 1880, in Italy, no woman
was allowed to wear dress with fig
ures painted on it; she could only have
them embroidered. And in 134S, in the
same country, neither dark green nor
black dresses were allowed to be worn
in the morninG.-St. Nicholas.

SEWERS.
The Trunk line sewer is not quite
large enough to carry off the water that
goes into it from the roofs of houses at
the time of heavy rains, and that enters
it from the ground. Not only during
the ice floods this winter, but at the time
of the high water of 1908, the water and
filth backed up into cellars all alon@
Fourth street as far west as Vine street.
The Council should appoint Committee
to have a ,urvey made Of the creek below
the outlet of the sewer to see fits course
could be changed and the bed lowered
to prevent the water backing into the
sewer. If at all feasible, the work should
be done this year, as 1t wonld be great
saving to the health and wealth of our
people, and no doubt a subscription could
be raised to cover one-half this expense.
The sewer down Broad Street should be
lowered so as to accommodate properties

Training u Horse.

The horse is logical and therefore
Il teachable animal. Once convince him
that Il locomotive or any other object
of terror is not really dangerous and
he will never shy at it again. Every
year accidents occur because the har-
ness breaks or the vehicle upsets, and
then the horse runs away. But such
accidents are unnecessary. Any horse
can, with Il little pains, be taught to
hold back carriage by his hind quar-
ters as well as by the breeching. To
have wheels come off and straps and
other things hitting his legs should be
q part of every colts education.-Coun-
try Life In America.

Herbert spencer,s Oddities.

Herbert Spencer hated clocks which
strike, especially out of door clocks
When staying in lodgings in Berk-
shire village he sent a request to the
owner of the principal house there that
the stable clock, which struck the
hours, might be stopped. He was not
a good companion to go out for drive
with, as, If he did not feel well, he
would ascertain how fast his pulse
was beating and if it was not satisfac-
tory would instantly give the order to
return home.

Old English Customs.

Sir Walter Besant's study of old Eng

fevers "a cold water affusion" with
drinking of asses milk. When the
queen was i'll i'll 1868 they shaved her
head and applied pigeons to her feet
Powdered mummy for long time was
considered to be specific against dis
eases. 1t is said that the reason it
went out of use was that dealers took
to embalming bodies and then sold
them for genuine ancient mummies.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Nhat Uncle Sam Does With the Boys
Who Enter His Navy.

The first question that Uncle Sam
asks of a boy who applies to enter
the navy is, "Do you yourself want
to enlist" because Uncle Sam does
not want boys who themselves do
not want to serve him on shipboard.
Nor does he take boys for the navy
to reform them. There was time
when the navy made a good home
for incorrigible boys, but it is not
so now. This is not the kind of a
boy the navy wants and needs. Boys
between the ages of fifteen and sew
enteen years can enlist for the navy
until they become Of age. When
the apprentice is first received Oh
board ship be is furnished, free Of
cost, with an outfit of clothing not
exceeding in value the sum of $45.
His first pay is SO month. After
making his first cruise, if qualified
he is advanced to SIS a month. His
next advancement is to that of frs
class apprentice, with pay of $2l z
month.
Ex-apprentices are given prefer
ence in the selection of petty Oft
GERS with pay ranging from $50 to
$40 per month and rations. Thos'
having good record and showin2
marked ability are eligible to APP
pointment as warrant officers, po-
sition varying in pay from 81, 200 to
$500 per annum, with retirement
at the age of sixty-two years on
three-quarters pay for life. Warrant
officers not over thirty-fve years Of
age are eligible to appointment to
the rank of commissioned officers
after having served six years as war
rant officers. Commissioned officers
are in line of appointment to all the
higher grades of the navy service,
and thus it is that some apprentice"
boy now may be our first admirat
some day. 1t is perfectly possible
for boy to start at the very bottom
in the navy and rise to the topmost
notch by his own efforts and ablli-
ties.-American Boy.
