A Chinese Chair of Renentance

The knife chair is an instrument Of
torture used in certain TAPPING reli-
giOus ceremonies, which takes the form
of straight backed armchair furnish
ed with long blades wherever the body
and limbs touch the chair On the back
the knives are placed horizontally; on
the seat, as we'll as at the base for the
feet to rest upon, vertically, while each
arm is made of a similar blade, along
the edge of which the sitter's arm
rests. These blades are sharpened with
milestone before us.-Wide World

the Introduction Of musical 1nstru-
ment in its church service. At the
final meeting when the matter was to
be settled excitement ran high. One
man whose reputation for honest deal
ings was not always above suspicion
made a fey speech in opposition. A
neignbor whose back yard joined the
speakers could hardly wait for the
close of the remarks. Then, jumping
to his feet, without waiting to address
the chairman, he said: "Gosh, sir, If /
had known the gentleman was so
afraid Of an organ I should have had
one hung on my wood pile years ago."

Mark Twain's Ant,

shark Twain in one Of his amusing
books Of travel attacks the anti said
nature student. HE ridicules the
idea that the ant is Industrious and
wise. He devotes three or four pages
to an account Of al ant making it's
way homeward with a burden. He
shows the ant climbing grass stems
instead of going round them, doing
hundred silly things, taking in every
case the long and foolish instead Of the
short and sensible way home. And
hence, naturally enough, he concludes
that the ants wise industry is over
fundamentally enough, I say, Mark
Twain's ignorance being granted, for
he was unaware when he wrote that
long and interesting passage that many
kinds of ants are blind. He did not
for all his close observation, take up
his little ant subject, look for it's eye
sockets and find them absent. It was
a blind ant Mark Twain studied, and
he didn't know it."-Cincinnati En-
Quirer.

Most Famous SAYING

"Whet is the most famous saying
ever made by man?' an editor asked.
Some thought that Caesar, some
thought that Socrates, some that Lin
coin, some that Nelson, had said the
most memorable thing; but finally the
palm was awarded to Euclid, the
mathematician.
Euclid went to Alexandria to teach
Ptolemy Softer, the king of Egypt,
mathematics. Ptolemy plodded at his
problems week or two, and then
asked Euclid impatiently if there was
not some special, shorter way by which
be could be taught.
"Sire," Euclid answered, "there is no
royal road to learning"

barrels Of drills the other day and
barely scratched it,"
"Ughw said another. 81 saw 'em

rock was so hard that after they had
used nine barrels O. drills on it the
hole stuck out six inches"

LeiCI1 Hunt,

This famous Englishman has two dis
tinct claims to fame. Not only was he
a brilliant poet, essayist and critic, but
much that we know of Keats, Shelley,
Lamb, Byron, Moore, Coleridge, Dick
ems and Carlyle has been derived from
the knowledge Of these celebrities
which Hunt gave to the world. Pos
sessing a happy spirit and genuine
scholarship, Leigh Hunts writings
sparkle with wit and cleverness, while
his TRANSACTIONS are among the choicest
of their kind. His pecuniary difficulties
undoubtedly prevented Hunt giving us
his best at times, but after he was
granted a pension amounting in all to
1920 per annum the improved COM
fort and augmented leisure enabled
him to make his mark on English lit
erature with essays Of remarkable
power.-Pearson's Weekly.

The top hat represents the universal
language of attire. 1t walls and weeps

turns up In the solitudes of the desert.
Even the loneliest mountain peaks are
not safe from its democratic simple

rescued from some benevolent dust bin,
milking COW in London park. The
hat nearly caused riot. Each and
every passerby turned and stared in

the top hat finished his allotted task,
and in company Of his COW and the
milk pail he ambled placidly out of
sight. Still one can't help asking in
the interest Of personal liberty. Why

earth at last. but unframed and

Sir, this panic, in my humble

81. q. Frick,s START in Lite.

And yet not so very many years
ago, not longer than most of as can
remember, Henry Clay Frick was
graduated from clerkship in small
store and became the owner of one
coke oven and a little patch of coaA
land in Pennsylvania. Had there
been no yearning for larger things;
40 understanding of the needs of a
growing business, or had there been
no desiEe to be "one's own boss, !"
Henry Clay Prick to-day might have
been the same obscure grocer's clerk
instead of one of the men who made,
through his coal and coke industry,
the gigantic United States Steel Cor
poration a possibility. From one lit
tie coke oven in Pennsylvania to more
than 10000 ovens in that State, and
many more that he is building in
West Virginia, more coke has been
produced than by any single control
ling company in the world That lit
tie oven had grown so that up to a
year ago it's companion ovens were
able to keep the great furnaces of
the steel companies blazing night and
day. Many millions have come to
Frick and his associates in the coal,
coke and steel business, but all from
that first lonely little coke oven
