Anecdotes about Brahms show the
composer to have been a somewhat
unamiable companion. His wit was
brilliant, but cruel, and its direct OBJ
ject could rarely join in the amusement
1t created. One story begins with the
statement that as performer Brahms
had an extremely hard touch This
once led a musician who was accom-
panylng him on the cello to exclsl1n,
Il don't hear myself" "Ah," replied
Brahms, ''you are a lucky fellow"
When he left the room after a lively
evening among friends he used to re-
mark. If there is any one present
whose feelings I have not hurt, l trust
he will receive my humble apology"
Brahms never could bring himself to
produce an opera. IF 1 composed one
which failed, l should certainly have a
second try" he said to pressing friends,
but cannot make up my mind to the
first To me the undertaking seems
much the same as marriage" The lat
ter institution found no favor In his
eyes, and he lived an isolated exist
ence, recognizing no kinsfolk.

TON Dalton part his hair in the mid

This comparison amused Dorothy,

Dorothy did not face the next morn
ing In spirit of buoyancy. She came
into the dining room listiessly and
with feeling that life was a desolate
waste.
Her father and mother were already
Mt the table, and Tom soon entered,
looking sheepish and conscious. An
unwilling smile Of amusement was
forced back by Dorothy as she looked
at his hair and expression. 1t was in
congruous, but she was not going to
admit it,
Her words were few, her voice sad.

meal. When later Tom came to take
her for drive she was patiently and
dejectedly waiting for him In the
evening she was again on schedule

Three days of methodical life drag

no longer endure the new life and the
surprised glances at his head.

laughter
Dorothy, darling" he said, Il am
glad you can't. Let me, too, make
confession. / have learned that your
most delightful trait was your bIissful
disregard of time To come in from
the city where man, woman and child
were on mad rush for trains and

twelve figures on timepiece was most

Then shall we go back to our old
life?" she cried joyfully
"Yes-or will you begin a new life

Without breakfast?" she asked en-
treatingly.

A New York barber has on a corner
table fine pocket microscope and a
framed announcement that says:
do you know what close shave
means? Bring friend here, If you
don't, have him shaved close, and then
look at his face through this micro
scope. The entire skin will resemble
piece of raw beef.
ITO shave the face perfectly smooth
requires not only the removal Of the
hair, but also of portion of the cuti-
Gle; so that close shave means the
removal of layer of skin all round.
The blood vessels thus exposed are not
visible to the eye, but under the micro
scope each little quivering mouth, hold
Ing a minute blood drop, protests
against such treatment. Bring a friend
and see!
"The nerve tips are also uncovered
by close shayes, and the pores are left
unprotected, which makes the skin
tender and unhealthy. This sudden
exposure Of the inner layer of the skin
renders person liable to colds. hoarse-
ness and sore throat" = New York
Press.

The most marvellous tree in the world
is the carnahuba palm, which grows in
Brazil. Its roots produce the same
medicinal effect as sarsaparilla. From
parts Of the tree wine and vinegar are
made. Its fruit is used for feeding
cattle. OF the straw, hats, baskets.
brooms and mats are made. 1t Is also
used for matching houses. The pulp
has an agreeable taste, and the nut,
which is oleaginous and emulsive, is
sometimes used as a substitute for cof-
fee. Its stems afford strong, light
hbers, which acquire a beautiful luster
and serve also for joists, rafters and
other building materials 1t yields also
a saccharine substance as we'll as a
starch resembling sage. OF the wood

the stem white liquid similar to the

Breaking a
Compact
BY BELLE MANDATES

Tom Dalton paced the blue gravel
road in front of the paIatial hotel
waiting for Dorothy. Waiting for Dor
othy had been his normal condition
this summer.
He was a man whose well made Shout
ders alone marked him as man of &C.
ton. This new role of his was not
consistent with his principles and hab-
Its.
He consulted his watch frequently
and said things under his breath, but
the instant he caught sight Of the fair
young form in the doorway he forgot
his impotence.
When Dorothy's ingenious, dazzling
eyes looked into his he drew a quick
breath and told himself she was well
worth the waiting, however prolonged.
Time was made for slaves, not for
Dorothy. 1t did not even occur to her
to ask him if she were late or II he

Red and white Wine.

Amisapprehensiona about the strength
of red and white wines exists" said a
vine grower. Because red wine has
a darker, richer look people think 1t Is
more intoxicating. The opposite, real
ly, is the case. Red wines are made
by fermenting grape juice, skins and
seeds together. White wines are
made by fermenting juice alone. In
the skins and seeds there is lot of
tannin, and red wine contains much
tannin, while white wine contains
none. This tannin, an astringent,
closes the pores of the stomach and
prevents the alcohol in the red wine
from entering the blood freely and
going, as the saying is, to the head.
White wine, champagne for instance,
has no tannin. and hence its iutoxicat-
ing properties are much more keenly
to be feared than those of the tannin
filled red wine. ''-Philadelphia Bulle-

EVIL EYE CHARMS.
rhe True Italian rallsnan Is In tn.

The True Italian TaIisman Is In thu
Shape of Tiny Hand.
In Italy the arlstocracy still protects
itself from the evil eye, and the multi
tude is still devoted TO the little evil
eye charms to secure immunity from
disaster.
The true evil eye charm Of the Ital
ians is in the shape of tiny hand, the
index and the little finger being point
ed out and the third and fourth fingers
being held down by the thumb. The
charm, however, is merely q represen-
tation of the way In which the Italian
holds his hand When pointed outward
he wishes to cast the evil eye on an
enemy, or when turned toward himself
he thinks to protect himself from Its
malicious spell.
This little charm can be bought in
Italy of various materials. coral, tor
toise shell, silver and gold being the
ones in highest favor The coral
charms are those worn by the poorer
classes, since Of a cheap grade of the
material they can be bought for a few
sous. Naturally the aristocracy prefer
them Of gold In italian money these
tiny things then cost the equivalent Of
about 50. Sometimes they are seen
exquisitely modelled, the fingers and
nails being as carefully chiseled as
marble statues.
Another small hand that the italian
rlaa Il flA
Manus Panthea, facsimile of which
is to be found in the museum in Rome.
1t Is referred to in various Egyptian
papyri, and indeed was worn by the
ancients to prevent disease and witch
craft and the evil eye from taking hold
of them and to induce love and amia-
bility.
This hand has the thumb, the index
and the middle fingers held out in a
straight line while the other two are
turned under toward the palm OF the
hand Instead of being smooth on its
outer surface, as Is the evil eye hand,
1t is covered with many mystical sym
bols-a tooth. a serpent and so on
Each of these little signs has its pc
culiar charm and is as we'll understood
and needed among the Italians today
as formerly among the Egyptian magi-
clans.
The third small hand which the Ital-
ians wear for their supposed good 10
the so called Manus Pontifcous. or the
hand Of the doly Father. 1t shows the
four fingers held out closely together,
and the thumb alone is curved under
the palm of the hand. As the Manus
Panthea, it is covered on the outside
with mystical symbols Washington

Everybody in Windsor Falls was

And because the sun is a tickle mis-
tress, first brooding over the hayfelds
in a glory of caressing splendor, then
capriciously hiding herself behind the
heavy clouds of sudden shower, and
also because it is well known that
''hayin' weather waits for no man, the
farmers toiled in the hayfields early
and late, pressing their families into
service and laying eager hands on all

her book and glanced lazily over the
bayfield, to where a long, lean figure

the most ardent intentions Of studying

to introduce hitherto unknown breadth
and beauty into their starved lives. To
a moneyed and spoiled young woman
