Seven.

Numerous are the queer beliefs con-
corning the number seven. From the
very earliest ages the seven great plan
cts were known and ruled this world
and the dwellers in it, and their num-
Der entered into every conceivable
matter that concerned man. There are
seven days In the week, ''seven holes
in the head, for the master stars are
seven," seven ages both for man and
the world in which he lives. There are
seven material heavens. There are
seven colors in the spectrum and sew
en- notes in the diatonic octave, and
the leading note of the scale is the
seventh. Be it noted that the seventh
son is not always gifted with benef-
cent powers. In Portugal he is be-
lieved to be subject to the powers Of
darkness and to be compelled every
Saturday evening to assume the like
ness of an assist. James Gazette.

The Australian game. devised to
eliminate accidents. the consul says,
requires field oval in shape and at
least $50 yards from one goal post to
the other. The players at the start
are ranged along the edges of the field
down to the center.
AS the science of the game is to
keep the combined method of play
open, the game never closes Cup. and
the teams never engage sinsa personal
struggle. 1t is not allowable to trip

otherwise endanger him. The ball can
be taken from man only by knocking
it from his hands. The game is well
established in Australia to the exclu-
sion of the old style. and the consul's

persons attend the games at Mel

said the first speaker again. "Begin a
conversation with me now about the
most absurd things possible, and at
the end of an hour l will repeat the
entire conversation to YOU"

referee said to him: "Why don't you
tell us what you can do? A few min

probably offer some courtesies to any

how he had Jared with the consul.
"Well. my dear fellow" drawled the
artist, "he did not receive me very
warmly. and he did not ask me to din

rather COOL"
"WeIl. you do surprise me-" rejoined
his friend. He's a cad, as l told you
