WHAT A RACE SINGS ABOUT.
Each Nationality Has Its Own Range
Of Favorite Ballads.

at may or may not be the case that
q races temperament can be judged
from it's folk songs" said a traveller,
but II rs interesting to note the diff.
ference OF subject matter in the songs
of various peoples.
1.-THE Irishman. for instance, seems
to sing for the most part about mis-
lady love. Hardly any Of his songs
are not addressed to his Somebody
Mayourneen.
THE Scot on the other hand, sings
about his country and its history, as n
rule Scots Wha Haze 'Ye Banks and
Braes o. Bonnie Doom Loeb Lomond'
and so on might be taken as exam
pies.
The Englishman, II is interesting
to note, sings about himself all the
time His songs are about his own
glory. his ships. his men. his power.
He refers occasionally to old England,
but only as a place he made famous
by his own prowess. Unlike the Irish
and the Scotch, he sings little OF MS
women and his country's beauties

THE LETTER OF THE LAW.
Sheriff Had Provided Exactly What
Judge Called For.

The Hon. John Steel was a sheriff
In Missouri. A new county judge was
elected. and Steel thinking to pay the
judge delicate compliment, selected
for his first panel of jurors every fat
man in the county; the judge weighed
nearly 300 pounds. says the Saturday
Evening Post.
The day was hot, and Steel, when
he took the jurors out to dinner, fed
them so heartily that all went TO sleep
during the afternoon. The Judge was
furious.
What do you mean" he roared at
the sheriff. by bringing those sleepy
heads into court as a jury? They
haven't heard any Of this afternoons
evidence. discharge the panel. Go
out now and get a panel OF men who
will stay awake. want men with a
single eye to Justice, not dolts like
these"
Steel went out and rode the country
that night. When the Judge appeared
next morning Steel had panel of one
eyed men for him.

How They Vote In Paris.

In Paris only One.fifth of the voters
go TO the polls and cast their ballots"
said r. G. Graham, an American who
has lived In Paris as a business man
for several years past. This is not
because they cannot vote, but because
they do not care to. Everybody In the
city Is interested in politics, but when
the time to vote comes few care to go
TO the polls.
THE man who wins is most often
the man who promises everything
For instance. In my district last time
a man was elected who promised to
put a new shed on the market |
know of another deputy who was kept
in office Is years because he promised
to add an extra sardine TO the daily
rations OF the soldiers. There are so
many soldiers that that made a big
difference They did not get the sar-
dine. but he continued TO promise and
kept Office

MY husband used to be troubled
that way" replied Mrs. Cawker, but
discovered a remedy which never
fails"
"Oh, do tell me about II"
We'll noticed that my husband
always slept the soundest when II was
time to get up. No matter how wake.
full he had been all night. just as soon
as rising time came he went to sleep
and slept like a log"
That's just the way with Mr.. Bloc

you did"
We'll, when Mr.. Cawker woke up
In the night and began TO toss about
and say he couldn't get wink OF
sleep | simply went across the room

1t Is recorded OF the earl OF Mans.
field that he once dismissed a servant,
but wrote for him a character" as
follows: THE bearer. John -. has
served me for three years In the ca.
pacity of c0achman. He is an able
driver and a very sober man. | dis
charged him because he cheated me"
A day or two later the man returned
to thank his old master for the help
he had afforded him In getting him n
new berth. How had the testimonial
helped him? The man explained that
his new master had observed that
ability TO drive and sobriety were the
qualities he required in a coachman.
As for the cheating, his employer had
said: I'm a Yorkshireman, and I'll

Surgery Without Scars.

Scarless surgery is numbered among
the most recent achievements in medi-
cal science. 1t Is explained that In
making the first incision the scalpel
does not cut the skin at right angles
with the surface. but passes through
It at slant.
After the operation is performed a
rigid dressing Of wool and glass is
applied to prevent contraction and as
much pressure is brought to bear on
the wound as Is safe. According to
foreign advices the London surgeon
who conceived the idea and success
fully put 1t into practice is unable to
meet the demands for his services.

CRUSHING a Critic.

School superintendent. among their
many duties are expected to report
on the personality Of the teachers In
their district. 1t is not always easy
to get "a line" on that quality of a
teacher. so many are lenient in the
work. One Of the superintendent,
however, is never satisfied until he
has made the test for orderliness by
asking the teacher to open his or her
desk.
One day he found one OF his fair
subordinates with things in great con.
fusion. She was evidently violating
heavens first law.
MY dear" said he to the blushing
delinquent, Il don't believe you would
make a good housekeeper."
The desk closed with bang, there
was fire in her eye, as she calmly re.
piled:
"oh! Are you looking for house.

turned during the afternoon.

just as the cell door was unlocked the

and keys, showed him into the empty
cell and lock the door. They then
passed thru to the front Of the jail,
