Attitude Toward Death.

The normal attitude of men toward
death seems to be one Of inattention
or evasion. They do not trouble about
It; they do not want to trouble about
1t, and they resent its being called to
their notice. On this point the late
Frederick Myers used to tell story
which l have always thought very H.
Eliminating. In conversation after
dinner he was pressing on his host the
unwelcome question, what he thought
would happen after death. After many
svasions and much recalcitrancy the
reluctant admission was extorted: "Of
course, II you press me, believe that
We shall all enter into eternal bliss;
but I wish you wouldn't talk about
such disaGreeable subjects" This.

THE EYE ON CHINESE JUNKs.
Cantonese Legend Explains Why
Apparently PurposeIess Sym
boil Is Placed There.

Few people know why Chinese
tnnks have an eye painted on the
port side of the bow. A Cantonese
legend explains the origin of that
singular custom in a way that is sug-
gestive of Anglo-Saxon humor.
A Chinese mandarin who lived CEN
turies before the Christian era, find
irg himself In need of a navy, sent
for the royal boat builder and ordered
hin to build certain number of
ships. So the builder drew up plans
and presented them to the mandarin
But the plans evidently did not suit
his majesty, for he flew into a vio-
lent rage and ordered the boat build
er from his presence.
"Then how shall build them, your
celestial highness?" he pleaded.
Whereupon the mandarin drew of
one of his slippers and threw 1t at the
boat builder, who fed from the room.
At the door he turned for a moment,
Just in time to catch the mandarin
winking at his prime minister.
The boat builder picked up the roy
al slipper and used it as a model, and
then painted one eye on its bow to
represent the royal masters wink.

sIC.li Of THE HUMBLE CLAM
Small and Comparatively Unimpor-
tant, Nevertheless He Alas His
Good Points.

Everybody has heard of the clam,
for he has of late years achieved ce-
leOrity by lending the use of his name
for broth, form of warm water used
in restaurants and soda fountains.
Those who have studied the clam,
remarkable individual.
The clam begins by depositing him
self in sand bank. He takes out no
fire insurance, and may be seen oc-
casionally squirting out water, as a
precaution against any sparks that
might fall Inadvertently.
The clam in summer wears a sheath
gown open at the sides, but so modest
is he (or she) that 1t is Immediately
closed up at the approach of another
person.
CLANS have decollete necks, which
they are very fond of displaying in
broad daylight. This, of course, makes
them very sunburned.
1t would be much better If, during
the sunny part of the day, the clam
would wear a veil.
CLANS live usually in fats, and al
ways go down through the roof.
In their native element they are
very much at home, but when seen
in company with human beings they
are usually in the soup or frittering
away their ives-Judge.
