Looking Pleasant.

Why is 1t that most people, as they
walk along the streets or ride in the
cars, have such an unpleasant express
sion? II one will observe even casually
the people he meets In day he will
be impressed with the panied and
sullen and disagreeable countenances.
We live In rush, and the average
person Is bent On some erraud or
business and is absorbed In that; we
are all rushing to get something or
somewhere. With this absorbing our
attention we haven't time to attend
to our facial expression. We are not
sure, however, that this is matter of
permissible Indifference. II one does
not believe that his countenance adds
to or detracts anything from the lives
or expressions Of others let him pause
for a moment before that now celebrated
"Billiken." 1t is almost impossible to
look at the little imp and not smile.
The Japanese teach their maids In the
hotels, and those also in the higher
walks of life, the art Of smiling. They
are compelled to practice before
mirror. One cannot stay long In Japan
without being inoculated with the dis
position to "look pleasant" The "look
pleasant. please" of the photographer
goes deeper than the photograph plate.
No one wants to associate long with
an animated vinegar cruet. A dis
position is easily guessed from the
angle of the corners of the mouth;
disposition is moulded by compelling
those angles to turn up or down. II
merry heart maketh glad counten-
ance II is also true that glad counten-
ance maketh merry heart-in the one
who has it and In the one who beholds
it. Iron sharpeneth iron. So man
sharpeneth the countensnce of his

COUNTING By TENS.

And . Suggestion - to Why We Bop
Things BY the Dozen.
Did it ever occur to you as strange
that while We count by tens We buy
so many articles by the dozen? II We
ask the price Of apples. oranges. OyS
tiers, eggs. collars. handkerchiefs and
many other things We will be told %
many cents or dollars dozen. or II
large quantities are wanted 80 much
a gross. which means a dozen dozen.
How do you suppose this has come
about? 1t was this way: Nearly all
! savage people count by their fingers
that is, II they want to tell you they
have seen two wild beasts they will
hold up two fingers. and IL ten they
will hold up both hands. and II twenty
both hands twice, and SO ON. Babies
also learn to count by their fingers
and toes. and to many people 1t seems
rs II that were the only possible way.
1t is. however. rather clumsy way.

Photosraphing . Panther.

A panther is not easily killed and
will often revive with very unpleasant
results, as on a certain occasion i'm the
Deccan. He appeared to be quite
dead. and one of the spectators rushed
up with q camera on a stand to obtain
a picture Of the supreme moment. He
got his photograph. and. strange to
say. 1t survived what followed. but no
sooner had he taken it than the pan
Their revived. tore himself loose and
went for the photographer. Somehow
the man escaped. but the camera was
sent flying. and. disconnected by his
encounter with 1t, the panther turned
and made for the nearest tree. up
which he went as quickly as a mon
key. Now. the tree was crowded with
interested spectators. and for three or
four strenuous seconds until the pam

The FLAG OF Denmark.

In the year 1919 King WaIdemar Of
Denmark. when leading his troops to
battle against the LivOnians. saw. or
thought he saw. a bright light in the
form of a cross In the sky. He held
this appearance to be a promise Of
divine aid and pressed forward to vic
tory. From this time he had the
cross placed on the dag Of his country
and called 1t the Dannebrog-that Is.
The strength OF Denmark. Aside from
legend there Is no doubt that this flag
with the cross was adopted by Den
mark in the thirteenth century and that
ut about the same date an order
known rs the order OF Dannebrog. was
instituted. to which only soldiers and
sailors who were distinguished for
courage were allowed to belong. The
flag OF Denmark. a plain red banner
bearing on it a white cross. Is the old
est flag now in existence. For 3OO
years both Norway and Sweden were
united with Denmark under this dag:
