HuMANITY's HuNGERs.

What They Are and the Ages at
which They First Appear.
Professor Earl Barnes Is authority
for the following list Of human hun
gers and the ages at which they can
first be noticed:
Hunger for food and drink infancy.
Hunger for action-infancy.
Hunger for knowledge infancy.
Hunger for companionship six
weeks.
Hunger for property-two years.
Hunger for self aggrandizement-flve
years.
Hunger for beauty-two years.
Hunger for reasoning-seven years.
Hunger for worship thirteen years.
Hunger for righteousness = fifteen
years.
The natural desire for food and drink
is strongest, said the professor, at
birth. After twenty the appetite
should, If not misused, become less and
less till at seventy a man or woman
ought to require only one small meal
a day.
The hunger" for property is very
strong at about ffteen-the collect
ing age, when boys Will amass any
thing, from stamps to beetles. When
all other 'hungers'' fail the property
hunger" still exists, and man is most
likely to be miser when he is nearest
his grave.
The hunger" for beauty-that is. the
real beauty hunger" which means the
admiration of art for arts sake-is the
most uncommon Of all-London Ex-

THE FIRST CIGARS.


Havanas Were Smoked In Paris M
Long Ago as 1913.
When were cigars first smoked? Ac-
cording to French authority, the weed
In this shape was not introduced into
France till the return of the French
army from Spain in 1923. This fact Is
on the authority of Hippolyte Anger,
the dramatic author, who writes thus
In his memoirs:
Our return from Paris was by way
OF Orleans. On the route we met
quite frequently officers returning from
Spain. They had generally cigars in
their mouths-a new habit, since be-
come general. From this point of view
the campaign of 1923 had the good
financial result Of establishing a new
branch Of import trade"
Another document, however, carries
back the use of the cigar to slightly
earlier period. The Hermit of the
Chassee dAntin," 1918, going to see
his nephew, young officer at Paris,
finds him at his hotel In morning cos
tune and smoking a Havana cigar.
The taste for cigars seems at this time
to have been sufficiently extended to
make them common article in the
stock Of every grocer who was careful
to cater to the wants of his customers.

THE HOODED COBRA.
1t Is Venerated In India as the On,
Sacred Serpent.

1t Is Venerated In India as the One
Sacred Serpent.
OF all the snakes of India the naga,
nag or hooded serpent, commonly
known as the cobra, alone is sacred. 1t
is called the good snake, and is con-
sidered protector and harbinger of
success. The generation of the cobra
is intimately connected with the wor-
ship of the sun, and is thus closely re-
lated to the orthodox Hindoo religion.
According to the Mahabharata, the
heaven over which India ruled was
mainly tenanted by Devas and Nagas,
the former being deified heroes Of the
Aryas and the latter those Of the Maya
people on earth.
Although wars continued for long
time to be frequent between rival
chiefs of the invaders (Aryas) and the
invaded (Nagas), a gradual fusion be-
tween the two peoples took place, and
heaven was shared equally by Devas
and Nagas. The serpent gods are wor-
SHIPPED now, as they were then, not as
bols, but as the deified rulers of an
ancient people, whose tribal, or, rather,
perhaps, racial, emblem was the maya,
or hooded serpent, and whose chief
deity was the sun; hence the Maya
temples are not dedicated to the SER
pent, but to the Maya rajahs, the an
cient rulers of the race.

FRIvOLITY IN ENGLAND.
A Claim That 1t Is What Really
KeepH the Nation Sane

A Claim That 1t Is What Really
Keeps the Nation Sane.
Which is worse-to be too serious or
too frivolous? l have no doubt about
the matter myself, so far as individuals
are concerned, though all extremists
are bores. The perpetually lively,
feather Drained, pleasure crazed crea-
ture is almost, If not quite, as irritating
as the deadly serious individual. But,
apropos of the accusation recently
lodged against us that as nation we
are becoming too frivolous, one cannot
help saying that we are q great deal
livelier than we were few years ago,
and for this. relief assuredly we have
cause to be thankful
In consequence we are accused of
having become too frivolous. 1t seems
to me that we have just got matters
nicely balanced. This is an age when
we are prepared to be cranks on the
slightest provocatlon. People crave for
missions, they wallow in philanthropy,
they pounce with avidity on new re-
hgions, they Will plunge into politics
or write attacks on women, society.
the degeneracy of the age. or anything
else that gives them an opportunity of
airing what they call their views. So
surely, if desipere In loco were not oc-
casionally to be permitted to us, it is
fearful to think what we should be-
come. Our frivolity is the antidote to
the twentieth century disposition to-
ward crankiness. 1t really keeps US
sane.-London World

Napoleon'- Reward to the Maker o

NapOIeOn's Reward to the Maker of
Bullet Proof Coat.
Just before Napoleon set out for the
court of Belgium he sent to the clever
est artisan of his class in Paris and
demanded of him whether he would
engage to make a coat Of mail to be
worn under the ordinary dress VIII. III
would be absolutely bullet proof, and
that If so he might name his own price
for such work. The man engaged to
make the desired object, if allowed
proper time, and he named $4,000
francs as the price of it. The bargain
was concluded, and in due time the
work was produced and its maker
honored with the second audience of
the emperor. "Now," said the i'm
perial majesty, put 1t on" The man
did so. GAS am to stake my life on
it's efficacy you will, suppose, have no
objection to do the same"
And he took a brace of pistols and
prepared to discharge one Of them at
the breast Of the astonished artisan.
There was no retreating, however, and
half dead with fear he stood the fire,
and, to the Infinite credit of his work,
with perfect impunity. But the en-
peror was not content with one trial.
He fred the second pistol at the back
of the trembling artisan, and afterward
discharged fowling piece at another

There Is a popular idea that a ring
made of gold is the only one that can
be legally used In wedding ceremony.
That is. however, fallacy. Any and
every kind Of ring may be used, and,
though gold ones are customary, there
Ia no reason whatever why silver or
any commoner metal should not be
called into requisition. Numerous in
stances are on record Of runaway mar
riages in which a brass ring has play
ed the all important part, and the legal
ity Of the ceremony has never been
questioned. In some cases a piece Of
hurriedly tied string has answered the
same purpose, as have also circles cut

Alcoholic DRINK From R,oe.

The alcoholic drink used in the prov
ince OF Chekiang, in China, is made
from fermented rice. Fermentation is
induced by the addition of cakes made
Of wheat meal. An examination Of
these cakes shows that the particles Of
wheat are penetrated through and
through by the myceIia of various
fungi. Some seven or more different
species were found. These fungi grow
on the moistened rice, fermentation
follows, and a yellow liquid with an
agreeable odor is produced.

French origin Of 4save the king. >

French Origin of "Save the King"
The British national anthem is of
French origin. The Petite Republique
asserts that the words of God Save
the King are literal translation of a
hymn in honor of Louis XIV, chanted
by the young girls in residence at the
convent of ST. Cyr.
The French words of this hymn We're:
Grand Dieu. sauvez lie roi!

Vive lie roi!
