NO FUNNY BONE IN HIM

THE International Geographic Society was
i in session in Washington. An inter-
esting lecture on the Bolivian Andes, in the
course of which the speaker had dwelt at some
length upon the varying symptoms of noun
tain sickness, just had been concluded.
An opportunity to question the lecturer
being offered, an English member rose to take
advantage of it, but scarcely had begun to
speak when another British delegate got up
hurriedly, and with a brief apology for the
interruption said;
Before the lecturer replies to the question
that has Just been asked should like, with the
permission of the chair. and in connection
with the subject of mountain Sickness to men,
tion some facts that will, fancy, be rather
surprising to most of the members of the
Geographic Society; and they are that three
fourths of the tin of the world comes from
the Malay Peninsula, and that me re than two
hundred and fifty thousand Chinese are sub
iects of the British Crown"
He paused moment, as though to let these
startling statements sink deep into the con-
sciousness of his hearers, or perhaps to see if
anyone would have the temerity to challenge
them. As no one did. he resumed his seat
with the triumphant air of one who has settled
for all time any vexed questions concerning
mountain sickness.

WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

ONE of the most delicious stories which
" lately have come from London is of a
small woman who played a small part in the
Drury Lane Christmas pantomime- If the
boy is father of the man. this diminutive
star plainly is destined to grow up into an
actress for the world to honor.
Her only part in Humpty-Dumpty' was
a dancing one, sharing that labor with hun
dred others of her size and sex, and she ap-
peared like nothing so much as pink plump
little squirrel, with wig made of an astra-
khan muff. In the midst of the "here-we-go-
Observation-Disclosures romp one tiny foot
tripped over the other, and this miniature star
came sprawling to the stage. When she had
gone off the dancing mistress complimented
her for not crying and comforted her as
best she could by pointing out that the dress
did not seem to be spoiled; and this was the
answer she got:
No. I've not spoiled my frock; but it's the
scene I'm thinking of. l am so sorry for
the poor manager! and with those horrid
critics down in front too!'

COLOR OF AMERICANS

or peasant life in Russia, Jane Addams tells
" this story:
:" went with a friend to a peasant home
to call on an old lady who was famous among
her neighbors because she could read. The
common belief was that she had been taught
to read by Tolstoi. 1t seems that years be-
fore Tolstoi had given her few lessons in
reading, but she had forgotten most of the
little she had learned. However she was
fond of telling her friends marvellous stories
about people in other lands, of whom she said
she had read in books. One of these stories
was that Americans We're black SO when
We were presented, one of her friends asked:
"'Why, these ladies are not black and they
came from America. How is this? You told
us Americans were black
The old lady was disconnected for a minute
and then explained: Why, there are two
kinds of people in America, and | told YOU
about only one kind. There are black people
and yellow people, and these ladies are the
yellow kind"
