Som. Odd Notions.

In some European countries Ill luck

any liquid in a pan from east to west.
In Scotland persons when baking oat
cakes break a piece of and throw it
in the FIRE to appease evil agencies
Still another custom In that land is to
make birthday cake with nine knobs.
Then nine Of the assembled company,
when the cake comes hot out Of the
oven, each breaks one knob of and,
throwing it behind him, says, "This
give to thee, fox, eagle, wolf, !" etc.
In some countries 1t is considered
unlucky to give mince pie to a
guest-it should be asked for. Like
wise a mince pie should never be cut
with knife, but held whole with the
fingers and eaten that way; also to
eat as many mince pies as possible at
as many different houses before
Christmas, 1t is believed, will insure
so many happy months for the eater,
To wrap a mince pie in silver paper
and keep it from Christmas till July
and then eat it is also said to bring
mood 1uck

Charles Kean was very nervous
man, easily upset by any mistake, and
one night when playing Hamlet he
came to the passage:
Who calls me villain, breaks my pate
across
Plucks off my beard and blows it in my
face,
Tweaks me by the nose?
Getting rather fustered for some rea-
son or other, he rendered it thus:
Who calls me villain. breaks my pate
across,
Plucks on my beard tweaks me by the
nose
And blows 1t in my face?

mark Nellie sat very erect and tried to
look wise and not wish she was down
at Coney Island with Michael Maloney
After the making Of that remark
Nellie sat rather limp, looked toward
the door and wished she were away
almost anywhere. The great authority
had stated distinctly that "the very
best English spoken in the world is
that of Dublin, Ireland"
With the directness of the American
girl under such circumstances, she
made her way boldly to the tea store
just at the time when the clerks had
gone home and Mike was there finish
ing up. She invested in can Of corn.
Then she asked Michael If he would
accompany her home.
AS soon as they were started she be-
gan her apology. Michael, 1t is my
desire to request your pardon for my
own grievous errors as to your use of
English. have learned today for the
first time that the inhabitants of the
city Of Dublin are the best examples
of the correct usage of your mother

to his lips for the twentieth time as
they sat in a secluded corner of the

about the same place that he ventured
to risk the truth.

From the study of clouds an official
of the United States weather bureau
concludes that ordinary cyclones
which traverse our country from west
to east are not more than two or three
miles in depth, although their diameter
is many hundreds Of miles. In otnef
words. their motion does not affect the
INNER regions of the atmosphere In
the case of hurricanes this authority
finds that the depth is greater amount

The following anecdote concerning
Donizeth and the score of Rossini's
"Otello" is told by the Musical World:
Donizetti had asked Sigismondi, the
director Of the Naples Conservatorie,
to look over the score with him, and
the two sat down at table with the
work in front of them. Presently ST.
gismondi began to rave about It's "mon-
strous orchestration." Terrible was
his indignation when he found that
clarinets. bassoons and trombones had
been employed in one place to swell a
crescendo, but when the fortissimc
was reached he uttered cry of de-
SPAR, struck the score violently with
his fist, upset the table and rushed
from the room, exclaiming: "a hundred
and twenty three trombones! A hun
dred and twenty-three trombones!'
Donizetti In vain tried to call him
back, shouting after him, mot 123
trombones, but first, second and third
trombones." Sigismondi would not
listen and when last seen was still
repeating, "a hundred and twenty
three trombonesr'

EXAMPLES OF MEDIEVAL ART.
Fine Stained Glass Windows Recently
Received at New York.

The two German windows OF stained
glass among the recent acquisitions
belong in period to the early sixteenth
century, at the time when medieval
ism passes over into renaissance. The
color is lighter and paler than that Of
the preceding century and is secondary
In Importance TO the design. In the
examples at the museum are certain
tints OF yellow that began to be used
in the middle Of the fifteenth century,
as taste changed in favor Of lighter
rooms. The subjects of the windows
are st. John and st. Maximine against
a background OF tapestry and archi-
lecture treated so as to appear on
the same plane as the figures. The
author OF the note on the windows in
the Museum Bulletin says that the
drawing is undoubtedly the work Of
painter-and a very good one-of the
Ober-Rhein school, and that as st.
Maximine was bishop Of Trier, the
supposItion that the glass is from
that source is probably correct Very
fine examples OF the same period are
those in the nave of Cologne cathe-
dral.-New York Times.

Why SHE "sHooK" HER FRIEND.
Shopper Preferred to Be Alone When
Purchasing Shoes.

A woman sat down in the shoe de-

bade the clerk hurry u left a friend
at the lace counter" she said, and
! want to get my shoes fitted before
she gets here"
The clerk apparently appreciated
the circumstances He worked fast,
and In an incredibly short time the
woman had selected three satisfactory
pairs of shoes.
Il wonder why she was so anxious
to get through before her friend
came" remarked another customer.
For the same reason that makes
every woman want to shop alone when
buying shoes" laughed the clerk. "She
has rather large foot. and she didn't
want her friend to find out what num-
Der she wears. II Is seldom that the pur-
chasers Of shoes shop in pairs They
may hang together when buying any
thing else in the store, but when 1t
comes to shoes each woman strikes
out for herself. The only exception is
the woman who has an unusually
small foot. She would take her whole
list of acquaintance along when buy
ing shoes II she could"

Making Furniture Like New.

Where there are fine pinlike
scratches on new furniture they may
be easily remedied by using pulverized
rottenstone. that can be bought ready
for use. Put this on a soft flannel rag
and rub into the surface of the seat
back or arms Of chair or on the top
of table. It will not only take on
the defects, but bring polish to the
wood.
To remove the rottenstone with
damp piece of chamois carefully wipe
the wood, and when all trace of this
is gone bright lustre can be brought
TO the surface of the wood by rubbing
It lightly with a soft piece Of cheese
cloth moIstened with alcohol.
The latter must be used sparlngly
on furniture, for II burns the varnish
and will ruin the appearance of the
rocker or table If enough is put on to
scorch the surface.

wall OF womans bedroom: Let US
take hands and help each other today,
because we are alive together"
She is bride OF year. and that
is the sentiment with which she fur

ry out In her everyday life. The hard
blow we give with a word, the mean

ourselves. No woman who is hard

Mans Heart Is a Shuttle.

A mans life is laid in the loom Of
time to a pattern which he does not
see, but God does, and his heart is
shuttle. On one side Of the loom is
sorrow, and on the other is Joy; and
the shuttle, struck alternately by each,
flies back and forth, carrying the
thread which is white or black as the
pattern needs. And in the end, when
God shall lift up the finished garment,
and all its changing hues shall glance
out, It will then appear that the deep
and dark colors were as needful to
beauty as the bright and high colors.

No Smoke In Volcanoes.

The materials elected from volcanoes
are chiefly vapor or water, lava, Gin
ders. rock fragments and various
gases. There is no true smoke emitted
and very little perceptible fame. In
most cases the light and the so-called
flames" are the glow of the molten
lava and its reflection on the clouds of
vapor. The passage through which
the eruptive matter rises to the sur
face is called the chimney or vent and
the bowl.lke enlargement of it, common
ly at the summit Of the mountain and
often Of great size, is called the crater.
There may be number of craters on
one cone.
