TIL. Wife of the Cat.

Nasr-ed-din, the Persian shah, was
an intensely superstitious man and be
lieved that his luck lay in his beauti
full black Persian cat, which was re
markably handsome cat in land
where cats are nearly all handsome
The shah never allowed the black cal
to be away from him. and it was given
in charge of one of his wives, Amin
Agdas, who was styled ''the wife OF
the cat"
When the shah went on his long
shooting expeditions, the Persian cal
was put into a decorated basket and
carried by a special attendant directly
behind his master. Unluckily one day
an accident occurred, and the black
cat came to an untimely end. The
shah was In despair at the loss Of his
luck bringer, but the clever wife OF
the cat' exerted her influence and
brought her nephew under the shah's
notice The lad was sharp enough to
make the most of an accident planned
by his aunt and save the shah's life
and the monarch was SO pleased that
he gave the boy the name of 1.-THE
cherished of the sovereign" and In
stalled the new luck bringer.

As the original earth nebula con-
densed the lighter materials were dis
tributed quite uniformly over the en-
tire surface, but these are now miss
ing from one hemisphere, the reason
seeming to be, as Professor G. H. Oar
win demonstrated in 1879, that por-
ton of the earths crust has been
thrown off by tidal action, forming the
moon. The surface density of the
present continents is about 81, the
mean density of the moon appearing
to be 3.4, or not far from that of the
missing continents to the depth reach
ed. The moon, it is computed. equals
a mass having the surface area of the
terrestrial oceans and depth of thir-
ty-six miles, and it is concluded that
the crust when thirty-six miles thick
must have been torn away over three
fourths of the earth, the remainder
breaking apart to form the eastern and
other islands. These continental and
island fragments foated like great ice
foes on liquid materials of a density
of 81 or more. This great rupture
gave the earth's surface its chief irreg-
ularities, with mean difference Of
three miles between the levels of the
continental plateaus and the ocean
beds, and as the water condensed in
the cooling depressions, with the Pa
cific where most Of the moon had
been, the dry land was formed that
has made human life possible. We
may consider that without this change
the earth would be now in the condi-
ton of Venus, with water over its
whole surface.

The laugh is on one Of the attend
ants at the Congressional library al
Washington. One Of the rules is that
no one shall be allowed to carry par
eel of any kind into the building. One
day tall young woman appeared at
the door, and when the attendant saw
that she had a parcel under her arm
he told her that 1t was against the
rules for her to take it with her. She
demurred and pronounced the rule
absurd. There were certain parcels
that people should be allowed to carry
with them, and so forth, and so forth.
But the man Insisted that he must en-
force the rule and that she would have
to leave the parcel with him until she
came out. That settled it. The young
woman deliberately opened the parcel,
took from it three pairs of black stock
ings that she evidently had just
bought, and, hanging them over her
arm, she gave the attendant the paper
in which they had been wrapped, say
ing:
"There, please keep that until come
out. have no parcel now."-Chicago

tween Civilized Nations.
The laws of war; as at present for
INFLATED by the civilized nations forbid

murder by treachery, as, for example,
assuming the uniform or displaying
the flag of foe; the murder Of those
who have surrendered, whether upon
conditions or at discretion; declara-
tons that no quarter will be given to
an enemy; the use of such arms or
projectiles as will cause unnecessary
pain or suffering to an enemy; the
abuse of a flag of truce to gain tnfor-
nation concerning an enemy's posi-
lions; all unnecessary destruction Of
property, whether public or private.
They also declare that only fortified
places shall be besieged, open cities or

whatever character, whether belonging
to church or state, shall be spared;
that plundering by private soldiers or
their officers shall be considered mad

The Oldest Eorename.

In ancient times people had one
name only, as Adam or David, and in
order to distinguish persons Of the
same name it was the custom to afix
the description "son of Isaac or 10
seph, as the case might be. Thus we
get Solomon ben David among the
Hebrews and Evan ap Richard among
the Welsh, to quote two examples. AL
though the argument that those names
were not strictly 'forenames" is not
without weight, yet 1t is responsible
to accept them as such, seeing that the
application had to be supplemented by
another for the sake of distinction.
We are therefore entitled to include
them within the scope Of the question.
Adam and other early Biblical names
are regarded as the oldest for obvious
reasons; but, excluding these, the
choice falls upon Marmaduke, which
is the modern rendering Of the ancient
Chaldean Meridug, also written Maru-
duk and Merodach, the god who inter-
coded constantly between the angry
Ea and the humble Damikna, his ia
Their and mother The Romans used
both forenames and family names, and
of the former two that date back about
$500 years are still with us-namely,
Marcus and Lucius, represented in
modern tongues by Mari. and the fem
mime Lucy. The old fc@fn Marcus is
still retained in some families.

was unable to pay. So there remained
nothing for Ketchum but to take it Out

Custon,s Of the Street,

In crowded city streets. especially in
London and Paris, when a driver Is
halted by another driver ahead of him
he throws up his hand or his whip per-
pendicularly as warning to the man
back Of him. Thus warned, the next
driver checks his team and then holds
bis hand or his whip as a warning to
the man back Of him. Thus there
might be seen going up one after an
other In line stretching back hands
or whips to the number OF half n dozen
or more as the drivers were successive
~ halted or slowed down by the block
ade in front So Of drivers of horse
drawn vehicles whose drivers common
~ sit high where their hands or whips
can be seen above their heads. This
signalling Is done somewhat differently
by the drivers of automobiles, who sit
low. SO in such circumstances what
the automobile driver does to signal
to the man back of him that he Is held
up is to stretch his arm out outside Of
bis vehicle horizontally to the right

THE ESKIMO KAYAK.
This Greenland Craft Is a Most Diff
cuff One TO Handle

cult One to Handle.
There is no craft so difficult to han
die as the Eskimo kayak. The only
boat familiar to US which in any way
resembles it is the racing shell, but If
a crack oarsman Of one of our crack
colleges were tied into kayak and
told to shift for himself even in smooth
water he would have hard time of it.
The kayak has been evolved through
hundreds of years of necessity. With
out it the Greenland Eskimos at least
would not be able to provide their daily
bread or, more properly speaking,
their daily blubber
II is singular that all the materials
used in the construction of the kayak
come from the sea-driftwood for the
frame. sealskin for the covering,
thongs for the harpoon and dart, ivory
and bone for bow, stern and keel and
for the various implements. The wom-
en- prepare the skin covering and
stretch 1t over the frame till it is as
tight and firm as the head of a drum.
On such occasion there is great ex-
element in the community. A regular
kayak bee" is held; even refreshments
are not lacking. for the owner of the
kayak treats to coffee all around when
the work is satisfactorily done.
The completed boat is a triumph of
ingenuity and skill. It is about eight
cen feet long, sharply pointed at each
end Its greatest depth is six inches
and its width about eighteen. 1t is
entirely covered save for the little
round hole into which the owner slips
pushing his feet underneath the skin
deck in front.
This hole is fitted to the person for
whom the boat is designed, and his
thighs completely fill it up. When he
is seated in 1t and his waterproof
| jacket is tied securely round the edge
he is able to defy the waves which
wash over him or the rain which beats
upon him. The six thong loops ar
ranged on the deck In front and the
three or four behind hold his imple-
ments-bird darts, lances, knives and,
most important of all, his harpoon. A
little stand is arranged directly in front
Of him, upon which is coiled the har-
poon line, and behind him on the
kayak is the harpoon bladder, which IS
attached, inflated ready for use, to the
| line.
The most expert are apt sometimes
to be overturned. 1t may be by the
attack of walrus or even seal, by a
careless movement or an unexpected
| ly large wave. If he does not right
himself at once, he is inevitably drown
! ed unless a comrade comes to his as
sistance. The usual method of turning
the kayak upright again is by using
the paddle as lever, holding it along
the side of the boat pointing it toward
the bow, then sweeping 1t through the
water, but those who are thoroughly
proficient are able to do it by means of
their throwing stick, their arm or even
their hand.
