Looking in the Future.

Mrs. Bacon-I see by this paper that
Alexander Wilkinshaw of London uses
his arm as a genealogical tree. It has
been tattooed with dates. In addition
to his own and his wife's birth dates
and the record of their marriage he has
the name and date of the birth of each
of his children.
Mr.. Bacon-If Alexander should hap
pen to lose his wife and go counting
again it might be embarrassing for him
to have his family around the girl so
much of the tiIne.-Yonkers Statesman.

Pharisees Wanted.

A rural colonial parson, finding great
difficulty in paying his way owing to
the lack of punctuality with which
his flock paid their tithes, recently hit
upon an excellent plan for giving back
sliders a gentle hint. Taking as the
text of his sermon the story of the
publican and the Pharisee, he read out,
1.-TWO men went up into the temple
to pray; the one a Pharisee and the
other a publican. The PhariSee stood
and prayed thus with himself, God,
l thank Thee that 1 am not as other
men are 1 fast twice in the
week, l give tithes of all that 1 pos
sess.' Here the parson paused sig
nificantly, and looking hard at his
flock, remarked, Il could do with a
few Pharisees in this congregation"

sIeeping Customs Ana New Guinea.

Sleeping Customs In New Guinea.
In New Guinea parents send their
daughters to bed in a little house at
the top of tree every night, and,
when the girls have gone up, the lad
der is removed, so that there is no
coming down till the parents allow it.
Elopements under these circumstances
must be difficult, and parents no doubt
sleep the sounder for knowing that
their girls are unable to take their
walks abroad until their elders see fit
for them to do so.

There is no doubt whatever that
Mrs. Wharton's "The House of Mirth"
is the most important American novel
Of 1905.
DR.. John Watson clan Maclaren'),
who recently resigned the pastorship
OF the church at Liverpool where he
had preached for twenty-five years, in
order to give himself entirely to lit
erature, was presented with a purse
OF $4,000 by his congregation on tho
occasion Of his retirement.
oscar I. Crosby, author Of "Tibet
and Turkestan,' on the Putnam's au-
tumn list, is the only man who has
visited each of the worlds three great
plateaus. His purpose in SO doing has
been to secure material for a study Of
social development as affected by geo.
graphical conditions, which he expects
to put into book form. The three
great plateaus are the Mexican, the
Abyssinian and the Tibetan. The first
is easily accessible; the other two only
to be reached by desert and mountain
trail, the Tibetan plateau being 10000
feet above the sea, an elevation prac-
tically double that of either Mexico
or Abyssinia.
1t is reported that Gabriel d'Annun-
zio, foremost of living italian novel
lists, expects a great success for
new work he has nearly finished. This
is "Amaranta," and the heroine is
supposed to represent psychological
type which the author declares will
be the type Of woman Of the future,
and heaven help the sex if his prophecy
Is true, for his story, it is asserted,
Is based upon an actual episode which
occurred in Paris. A girl Of gentle
birth who was a victim Of consump-
ton had herself tied to an automo-
bile which nightly encircleh the Gel
ebrated ring of DEATH for the sake
Of the sensation. Everything possible
was done to prevent the crazy act, but,
the girl threatening suicide, she was
allowed to go. After the first round
she was found dead.
People seem to have discussed Ber-
nard Shaw's plays rather than his per-
sonality. Little has been said of him
in the latter respect. There is no truth
in the report that he starved in Lon
don during his salad days. He comes,
in fact, Of an old and fairly prosper
Gus Irish family; he can therefore af-
ford to be eccentric. His paternal
grandfather, Bernard Shaw, was high
sheriff Of County Kilkenny, and his
father, though no millionaire, had suf-
fcient income to satisfy the average
man. The present head of the fam
lily is Maj. Sir. Frederick Shaw, Bart.
D. S. O., of Bushey Park, Dublin.
George Bernard Shaw went to London
with his mother and sister-the latter
was professional singer-in 1876. At
that time the future dramatist was
20 years old. Ten years later he was
already a familiar character about
town and in ten years more he was
famous. In 1898 he inherited the estate
of his maternal grandfather, Walter
Bagnall Gurley, a foX-hunting Irish
squire Of the old school. The same
year he married Miss Charlotte Fran
