A VIVID PICTURE

Senator Beveridge, at a luncheon in Boston during the convention of the General Federation of Wom- en's Clubs, made telling speech against the mad pursuit of wealth.
 From the window of the room o sunny garden was visible, and in the garden number of children pur- sued with breathless cries a swarm of blue butterflies.
 MT. Beycrdge, waving his hand toward the racing children, said:
 ''Take company of boys chasing butterflies, put long-tailed coats on the boys and turn the butterflies in- to dollar bills, and you have fine panorama of the business world"

AS DIR. HANSEN SEES IT.

Dr. Fridtjof Nansen predicts the fate of the earth in the far distant future. when the sun grows cold. The simple, low organisms, he says, will probably live longest, until even they disappear. Finally, he says, all water on the earth's surface will freeze and
 the oceans will be transformed into ice to the bottom. Some time later the carbonic acid of the atmosphere will begin to fall on the surface of the earth in the form of snow. Some time after that the tempera- ture on the surface will have reached about $50 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. New oceans will then be formed by the atmosphere being

JAPANESE JOKERS
How the Mikado's Polite Ministers Got One on the French
 Ambassador.


 The Japanese are ,y9-v polite people. but they sometimes like to play a joke, in a roundabout oriental way, upon the men of the west. In the days of the second empire. Baron Gros was sent to Japan to demand the opening of certain ports to French commerce Among the rest he named to the Japanese ministers a certain city. The Japanese func- tionarles smiled so broadly when he preferred the request that the French ambassador asked them to tell him what gave them so much amusement; but, instead of answer ing, the Japanese ministers said:
 "Wc will open the port in ques- tion, my lord if France in her turn Will open g certain port to us
 What port is that?' asked the Frenchman.
 he port ot Liverpool.
 But, your cNcellencies' (laugh- ing), Liverpool is not French port, but an English one"
 "Yes,' answered the Japanese. And the port you named is not in Japan. but in Korea"
 The French ambassador was com pelled to admit that the joke was against him.

REFORMING THE HEAD HUNTERS.

A curious development is in steady progress in the Solomon islands, the group in the South Pacific which lies to the west of New Gui~ nea, whose people have earned such uncnviable notoriety as head hun ters. The young men of the tribes in these fertile and beautiful island. are abandoning the historic pursuit which has made them dreaded for centuries in the South eeas and are taking to the copra industry. Copra which is the dried interior of the cocoanut, is valued commercially fo1 the oil which can he pressed from 1t. and some of the young Solomon islanders are accommodating consider. able wealth by extracting it; though the older generation, to whom head hunting is still the only profession for gentleman, are said to lool down upon them as being in trade.'

WOMEN ELIGIBLE AS WITNESSES

The women of Louisiana have been declared legally eligible as wit nesses to wills and other legal pa- pers. When the constitutional con- vention of Louisiana in 1898 gave taxpaying women the right to vote on questions of taxation it provided that they might vote either in per son or by proxy. A woman wishing to give friend a proxy to cast hel baIla' must have the document signed by two witnesses, It was then that it was discovered that a woman in Louisiana could not wit ness d legal document. The women raised d protest but it took them ten years io have this anachronism remelicd by the state legislature.

WHY OSTRICHES WALTZ
They Are Merely Practicing Art es Side-Stepping Lions and
 Leopards.

The so-called waltzing perform ance of the ostrich is familiar to all in South Africa, but few outsiders have ever heard of 1t. It consists of q rapid whirling movement, the wings spread out and alternately ele- vated and depressed. It is fasci- hating sight when indnlged in by a large flock.
 This gay behavior is no doubt in- stinctiye, and as with other instincts, 1t is perfected by experience. Ostrich chicks begin the whirl even when reared away from other ostriches, and without having seen the per. formance. The South Africans have the following theory of the signif- canoe of this playful activity:
 The wild ostrich can protect him. self against lions and leopards in no other way than by flight When chased by beast of prey, the os- trich, starting to run, jerks so quick ly from side to side that no beast would be likely to have time to set himself for a spring in one direction before the bird had changed his course.
 The South Africans believe that the instinctiye waltzing movement of the ostrich is useful in perfect ing the bird in the art of suddenly twisting and turning, which is most likely to assist it to elude its. natural enemies, the larger carni-. yora.

CHEATING THEIR GOD.

Turks often get drupk-they cheat their god, the dogs, to do so, : said a converted Constantinopolitan.
 '1Mohammed forbade wine to his followers, but raki is made of mas tic gum. It was unknown in Mo- hammed's time, or of course. he'd have forbidden it, too. For you can get frightfully drunk on it-I know, oh, l know It's d white drink, with a swedish taste, good deal like gin.
 "A Turkish dinner is mostly d vegetarian affair, if you can call ra- Xxi vegetable. It consists of such things as iaort, a curdled milk, spiced and scented, and bakalava, cakes cooked in honey, sprayed with rosewater and coated with saffron favored whipped cream.
 'Wlth each course you drink raki. If, getting drunk, you get miserable, the thing to do is to crush your glass ill your hand, so as to give yourself two or three cuts. Unhap- py Turks. you may know, express their wretchedness by cutting their hands. Look at these scars"

 'That's a pretty piece of bric-a- brac" 1 said, going towards the fireplace. "Whcre did your master plcE up such d horror"
 The woman had grown strangely pale.
 I dont-don't know. sir" she stammcrcd, and then. as if she found rehct in words, she went on quickly, Its an awful thing. When you're Tn the room it makes you look at it. It follows you with it's stare. with its curse, 1 say. Master would never have 1t taken down. He looked at it when he was dying when he was dead. The stone man and the dead man stared at each other till closed his eyes"
 She was trembling violently, and stealing furtiye gIances at the figure as she spoke.
 The figure of the gargoyle haunt ed me. even in the full, warm June light which flooded the ancient garden where 1 walked after my early dinner. had an impulse to go in and examine the figure more closely, bnt 1 was curiously avcrsc to handling it. There was something uncanny in it's coldness. That night l went early to my room. intending to read in bed, as was my habit. But 1 could not fix my mind upon the book, a French novel, mere bit of puff-paste with sugar ornaments. My eyes would wander to the fearful image above the fireplace. It seemed more alive, more real than the

 l awoke in a cold sweat, and with a horrible oppression. The room was flooded with moonlight, and I turned my eyes involuntarily to the gargoylc. It's lips seemed to be moving, as if 1t were struggling to speak. l had an insane notion that the thing might come crawling down from its place like a monstrous speckled gray spider. I lit a candle hurriedly, my hand shaking with a sickening fear, of which I was mor- tally ashamed. Then, rising, I drew q chair before the fireplace, and standing on it forced myself to cx- anime the gargoylc closely. I found that 1t was fastened to the wall by a cement as hard as granite. There was no possibility of removing it. A strange coldncss seemed to radiatc from the figure, as if it were of ice
 A week of restless nights induced me to change my bedroom. There waa no use reasoning with myself. The hideous figure crowded the place with its presence. l felt as if should lose my breath under that incubus.

 On the day that 1 moved into the blue bed chamber l wrote to my law yers in London, asking them if they knew of any full inventory of my late uncle's art treasures, one which not only catalogued them, but de- scribed the means of their acouisi- ton. In reply l received sealed packet bearing the address ''To my Heir" The accompanying letter stated that my uncle had made this catalogue only a month before his death, but had instructed his law ycrs not to deliver it unless my great-nephew proves his interest in art objects by asking for such catalogue" In the event of my moi asking for it, they had instructions to burn it after the lapse of ccr- tain period of time.
