''In the old days" says a well known
player, Nwhen l was member of a
stock company In Chicago, we used
nightly to gather in a bohemian resort
near the theater. One night just after
the show a number of us were seated
at a.table near the entrance when there
entered to us a lean and hungry look
ing chap very thinly and shabbily clad
Noticing his anxious gaze, one of the
party Immediately OWNED his purpose
and, anticipating the stranger, said:
Sorry, old fellow, but as we our
selves are playing in rather hard luck
we have no money to give you for a
meal and a nights lodging. We're
nearly broke ourselves.
'At this the stranger smiled pleas
antly. Permit me, gentlemen, to cor

Not worth HIS Salt.

when we say man is not worth
his salt" said a philologist, I'VE use
an interesting and classic form of
speech. We go all the way back, in
fact to the time Of the ancient Ro-
mans.
1.-THE Roman workers in the salt
mines were paid In salt. The salt that
they got in return for their labor was
called their salarium (sal-salt) or salt
allowance.
'The word salarium, meaning salt
money or allowance for salt, later on
was applied to the fees or tips men got
for odd jobs. For patching my toga,'
the noble said, will give that fellow
a slight salarium-a bit Of money to
buy salt with
Finally, 'salarium' came to mean
wages, salary, what it does today. A
salary is essentially salt money, and
when we say man is not worth his
salt we mean he is not worth paying
wages to"-St Louis Globe Democrat.

The art of land surveying owes its
origin to the fact that the Egyptians
were unable to keep permanent monu-
ments on land which was oyerflowed
every year by the Nile. Under such cir
cumstances it became necessary to
have some means of reidentifying the
various pieces of land. The instru-
ments and mathematical methods of
astronomy, with suitable notifications,
were used by the Egyptians for land
surveying.

The princess sat in the rose garden.
A cool breeze blew from the lake and
the scent of the roses filed the air.

gaudy colors In the sunshine, strutted

sound Of music and burst Of laughter

The princess wore look of habitual

and haughtiness she had come to be
known throughout the kingdom as my
Lady Disdain." She was beautiful,
there is no denying it; but, alas, she
knew 1t too well.
Again and again she had been told
by lords and princes who had sought
her hand that she was far lovelier than
any other woman they had ever seen.
From far and away came men Of title,
of wealth, of historic fame, all eager
to wed this fair maid, but she would
have none of them.
Find me man whose beauty shall
be greater than mine," she cried at
length, land will marry him."
Princes who had at a glance con-

the thought of victory, but went, van

In the hearts of the maids of honor,
consoled themselves with wives less

but fully as charming in their way.

Suddenly her ear caught the sound of
