Tom Marshall, Kentucky's famous
wit, attended a phrenologist's lecture
one night. Marshall had been drinking,
and when he returned to his hotel after
the lecture he drank more. The drink
gave him belief in his chronological
powers, and he declared that he could
"read'' heads as well as the lecturer.
So it was decided to test his skill upon
some of the guests of the hotel. Both
ladies and gentlemen assembled in the
parlor, and Marshall, who knew most
of them, furnished an hours uproari-
GUS fun by hitting off their failings.

it dates from 1919 or 1920, when a

What Regimes Of pins.

Although we are told when the ques-

that they fall to the earth and become
terrapins, a gentleman has gone to
some trouble to find out that this is not
so and to give us the correct answer.
He has found that pins are resolved in
to dust Hairpins which he watched
for 154 days disappeared by rusting
away at the end of that time. Bright
pins took nearly eight months to dis
appear, polished steel needles nearly
two years and a half, brass pins had
little endurance; steel pens were nearly
gone at the end of eighteen months,
though their wooden holders were still
intact.
