Comet Superstitions.

Has this years comet affected the
weather? A century ago the an
swer would have been yes. Thus to
the charge of the comet of 1911
were laid the facts not only Of the
excellent vintage and abundant
crops of that year, but also that
wasps we're then few and flies blind
and that a shoemaker's wife in Lon
don had four children at a birth.
Besides such calamities as invasions,
pestilences and the like, the comets
of various years were considered re-
sponsible for many minor tragedies,
including the destruction of a
church clock by a meteoric stone, a
fit of sneezing that became preva-
lent in Germany and in 1868 an epi-
demic among cats in Westminster.

A Famous Briuand,

Servia's most famous brigand,
Karajitch, has been shot near his
hut on the summit of Mount Kaoni.
He had fourteen murders, two alb
ductions and countless robberies to
his account. Deeply devoted to his
mother, he supplied all her wants
from the day she was stricken with
paralysis. He told her recently that
he would not let himself be caught
until his head was rated at $4,000
instead of $500. Further, he prom
ised her that he would endeavor to
be taken in some poor mans cabin
rather than let the "man hunters
(poice) get the reward. He was,
however, unable to carry out his
good intentions.

A German View of Our Pie.

The Berliner Tageblatt in re-
cent number of its illustrated sup
plement has picture showing ''the
finish in an American pie eating
contest" A Dresden paper in COM
menting on the scene says: ''Pie is
a purely American product. It is
not kuchen, pastete or stole, but
all three in one. Pie cannot be de-
scribed. It must be seen, and it
cannot be understood until it has
been eaten. It varies in size from
four to fifteen inches in diameter,
and its upper and lower crusts are
filled with fruit jams and with
pastes which have no other use. Pie
is as essential to an American din
ner as bread is to ours, and in one
part of the United States known as
the pie belt it is eaten at every meal.
All Americans agree that pie is in
digestible, but this does not affect
the consumption, and, although it is
made in every household, there are
large bakeries in every city where
only pies are produced"

Chinese Justice.

Wrongdoers in China bring mis-
fortune on all their relatives. Not
long ago a man murdered Governor
An Min of Anhui. The murderer
himself was caught and beheaded,
and now the law demands that his
female relatives be sold into slav-
cry, that his male relatives sixteen
years old and above be decapitated
and that his male relatives younger
than that be compelled to serve in
the imperial palace. The ancestral
graves of the rebel are also to suf-
fer. The tombs are to be razed and
despoiled and the bones and dust
within scattered to the four winds.
1t is hoped, however, that the au-
thorities will not exact the full pen
atty of the law.

Marie CoreIIi and Marriage.

Marie Corelli, the famous writer,
is greatly annoyed by little story
now going the rounds of the press.
The form it generally takes is this:
"She was asked the other day why
she does not marry. She replied
Z have three pets at home which to-
gether answer the same purpose. !
have dog which growls all the
morning, parrot which swears all
the afternoon and a cat which stays

sesses neither dog nor parrot nor
cat, and she has never yet met
any one bold enough to ask her
why she is unmarried. - Chicago

Shaw's Splendid Dinner.

George Bernard Shaw, critic,
dramatist and novelist, asserts that
he has no more home instinct than
a milk can at railway station. He
admits, however, that he has an ad-
dress at 10 Adelphi terrace, London.
'These chambers" he explains,
"constitute the real center of my
domesticity, because my wife lives
there. My official residence, quail
flying me as vestryman, is in Fitz-
roy square. My mother lives there.
I live nowhere" He says that any
place that will hold a bed and a
writing table is as characteristic of
him as any other At one of the
Socialist conferences when the dele
gates assembled after lunch the
well known writer came in, rubbing
his hands and giving thanks for the
splendid dinner he had just had.
Some one asked him what he had
for dinner. fsAh,' replied Mr.. Shaw,
with all the serenity of well fed
man, GIVE had seven bananasr

A Confidential Letter.

day a member of congress received
a letter from him but was only able
to make out word or two. Dis
liking to annoy Mr.. Cannon, the re-

were able to make out all but one
word, which was of great import
ance because it was underscored.
Finally in despair the congressman

first experience of the kind, though
the greatest care is taken by the
master of the horse (oberstallmeis-

safest mounts, which are trained to
be as easy and docile as circus

ser has no power whatever in his

ALL THOUGHT THE SAME

PA. B. Widener tells this story
on himself. tits the custom Of one
of the railway board of directors Of
which he is a member to pay, each
dir 4.tcr y, tends board meet
ing $40, se nasney due the as,-
sentees Is +, led among those pres
ent.
On one bIizzardy day when the
board was scheduled to meet Mr..
J Widener figured that the snow and
cold would keep the other members
away from the meeting, and he de-
termined to attend and thus secure
the fees of all the absentees as well
as his own fee. Not that Mr.. Wild
ener needed the money, but he
chuckled as he thought of the joke
he would have on his fellow direct
ors. So he put up with the in
conveniences and dangers Of the
storm and made his way to the
boards meeting place. His amaze
ment was complete when he entered
the room and found that every 9th
er member had preceded him. The
intended joke. was too good, and he
frankly told of his purpose in turn
ing out on such wretched and
death inviting day.
The other board members laugh
ed heartily, and before many min
utes had elapsed all had confessed
that they were present as a result
of the same mental figuring. Each
had thought as Mr.. Widener had
that he would capture his own and
all his fellow members fees. But
each had to be satisfied with the
usual $20.-Philadelphia Record.

ator. Of no one is this truer than
of Beethoven. When this greatest

his death all his manuscripts were
sold at auction-over 200 Of them
there we're, yet they brought hardly
$500. This would be at the rate of
about $3.50 apiece. The other day

ia for violin and piano, written in

Reviving a Tired Honeybee.

The honeybee is proverbially in
dustrious. When everything goes
well with it no form of animal life
has more vigor, works more jealous
ly or defends it's home more brave
ly. But the bee soon loses its ac-
tivity when separated from its home
so that it cannot return, as, for ex-
ample, when it gets into room
and fails to find its way out. Cold
rain or lack of food also soon puts it
into feeble or exhausted condition,
making it appear as if it were dis
couraged. But nearly all of its usual
activity may be restored by a little
sugar or honey.-St. Nicholas.

The crows dug the CLAIMS. Then
each would take one in his bill and
fly to the shore, where there was a
ledge, letting it fall and thus break
ing the shell. Then he would fly
down, pick up the clam and eat it.
Rather a novel way of opening
clams," observed papa.

A Pig Book.

If you would like to have per-
feet treasure house of amusement
to show to your friends get up a
"pig book" But what in the world
is a pig book? Get a book made up
of forty or fifty pages of blank pa
per, and then ask forty or fifty
different persons each to draw, with
his or her eyes shut, picture of a
pig on one of the pages. The anna
teur artist will probably succeed
pretty well until he comes to put
ting on the pigs tail. That ap-
pendage is sometimes drawn in the
most impossible place, and the re-
suit is very amusing. You have no
conception of the fun you may have
out of a pig book until you get
one. Try it.-Chicago News.
